"How about I ask Lianyi to figure out a way to transfer Lil Yan to another kindergarten?" asked Ling Yiran.After all, everyone in the kindergarten probably knew now that Zhuo Qianyun had been to prison. Lil Yan would probably be discriminated against if he continued to stay there.Ling Yiran had gone through such an experience before and did not want Lil Yan to go through the same thing! Since they could not change the environment there, what they could do was make the changes on their side.However, Zhuo Qianyun did not answer Ling Yiran's suggestion. Instead, she asked, "What are my chances if I want to reverse the case now?"Ling Yiran was shocked and thought carefully for a while, then gave Zhuo Qianyun an answer. "30%."Zhuo Qianyun gave a wry smile. 'Only 30%... A 30% chance that the case can be reversed?' However, ordinary people would fight even if there was only a 10% chance!However, it was too low for her!"Because it was a long time ago. Some of the evidence in your
Mrs. Zhuo said angrily, "You were wronged! It was that b*tch Kong Ziyin who did this to you! If you're really worried about the stigma, then we'll reverse the case. Didn't Yiran say there’s a 30% chance?"Zhuo Qianyun did not say anything more. She just stared at her son quietly. After a long while, she stood up and said, "Mom, I'm a little tired today. I'd like to go home and get some rest. I'm sorry you have to stay in the hospital to take care of Lil Yan."Mrs. Zhuo thought it was a little strange. With her daughter's character, she would spend the night in the hospital no matter what. However, considering how tough it was for her daughter to set up her food stall every night, she figured Zhuo Qianyun must be so exhausted that her body could not take it anymore. As such, she said, "Then go home and get some rest.""Okay, I'll come back tomorrow morning to take your place," Zhuo Qianyun said and left the ward.However, after getting out of the hospital, Zhuo Qianyun did not go ho
Zhuo Qianyun clenched her teeth as she walked into the suite and closed the door.Ye Wenming walked to the couch and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea on the coffee table and sipped it gently. "What do you want to talk about? You're not asking me to give up custody, are you?Zhuo Qianyun's eyes glimmered. "What if I am? Can you give it up? As long as you give up Lil Yan's custody, I'll do anything!""You'll do anything?" asked Ye Wenming as he looked up at her."Yes!" she answered."What do you think I need you to do for me now?" Ye Wenming said as if he found it funny. "Give birth to a child to compensate Ziyin? But we already have Lil Yan, or do you want to do something else? What can a food stall owner like you do for me?"Zhuo Qianyun's face turned pale. She had nothing she could use to beg him with!There was nothing she could offer him!There was a long silence before she said, "Don't you... hate me? You hate that my father gave the Ye family trouble and almost destroye
It was as if he was trying to prove that the woman in front of him could not influence him!Zhuo Qianyun only felt a trace of bitterness in her mouth. Even though she had already gotten over the man and no longer had any feelings for him, she could not stop the bitterness from spreading when she heard him say this."If... I say I didn't push Kong Ziyin down the stairs, and Kong Ziyin did it all on purpose, you... still won't believe me?"Zhuo Qianyun spoke in a tone that was verging on a humble plea.She was begging this man to trust her and not define her as a criminal. She did not care whether she was a ‘criminal’. After all, whether she was a criminal could not reverse her time in prison!However, she did not want the ‘criminal’ identity to bring any harm to Lil Yan!Ye Wenming seemed to have heard a joke. "Believe you? You want me to believe you? Zhuo Qianyun, don't you think it's funny to say that now? Ziyin lost a child because of you and even became infertile for life. Wha
He had said that her eyes were bright. When she looked at people with crescent eyes and a smile, they would feel happy.He added that her eyes were the most alluring ones he had ever seen.His fingers would always caress her eyes when they were being intimate.She was once proud of her eyes because... he liked them.Now, he wanted her to destroy them herself. How ironic!Opening her eyes, Zhuo Qianyun looked up at Ye Wenming.He was standing right in front of her now, and they were close. She looked up, and it was as if they were back to the times when they were being intimate with each other. Only now, he would not put his arms around her waist, and she would not put her arms around his neck and be affectionate to him.Zhuo Qianyun stared quietly at the man she once loved, hated, and where her emotions eventually came to peace. He was good-looking and attractive. Otherwise, how could she have fallen for him so easily?Perhaps, this would be the last time she saw him!Suddenly
However, Ye Wenming now announced that she did not even have the chance to gamble!"Ye Wenming, must you take Lil Yan away from me?" Zhuo Qianyun looked up and stared intently at him.He looked somewhat flustered at her gaze!'Why am I flustered? It's only natural for me to take back my son's custody!'"Yes, Zhuo Qianyun. I won't let Lil Yan stay with you. He'll only suffer if he’s with you. What can you give him? Do you think setting up a food stall and feeding him is enough?" Ye Wenming snapped.However, Zhuo Qianyun nodded unnaturally. "Okay, I see."Unusually calm, she took a step back and looked down at her hands that were still in his grip. "Mr. Ye, can you let go? I'm not going to try and poke myself blind again. After all, it wouldn't do me any good if I were blind, would it?"Ye Wenming's face darkened, and he loosened his grip. Only then did he find that his palms and back were covered with cold sweat.The woman had forced him into a cold sweat again, just like the ti
'Is the woman telling me she's giving me her body in exchange for Lil Yan’s custody? Since when was she able to trade with such things?'Ye Wenming laughed angrily. "Okay. I'll think about it if you take off your clothes now and please me in bed."He said it only to humiliate her.However, she became as calm as before and whispered, "Okay." Then, she raised her hand to undress.Ye Wenming looked at Zhuo Qianyun in disbelief and snapped. "Do you know what you're doing?""Yes," Zhuo Qianyun replied dryly.She even knew that what Ye Wenming said was probably just a casual remark. Even if she did what he wanted, he would still fight with her for Lil Yan’s custody.It was just that she had no other choice, so even in such circumstances, she was going to place a bet.It was because she had nothing to lose...Ye Wenming's pupils shrank immediately. He suddenly grabbed Zhuo Qianyun again and pushed her out of the door. "Get out. Get out of here! Your body will only make me sick!"The
"That's good to hear," said Qin Lianyi as she took out the toy she had specially bought today to amuse the little one."Thanks, Aunt Qin," said the little one. He seemed to like the toy.Just then, Qin Lianyi's phone suddenly rang. She answered it, and it was a call from the hospital’s security guard. "Hello, are you the owner of XXX? Your car is parked in City First Hospital's parking lot, but the alarm keeps going off. Please come and deal with it.""Ah. Okay, I'll be right there!" said Qin Lianyi. She said to Ling Yiran, "Yiran, I'm going downstairs for a while. There seems to be something wrong with my car's alarm system.""Okay," answered Ling Yiran. Once Qin Lianyi got out of the room, another nurse came and asked Zhuo Qianyun to go see the doctor. As such, there was only Ling Yiran at the bedside.After Zhuo Qianyun walked out of the ward, Lil Yan suddenly lowered his head and stopped playing with the new toy in his hand."Why did you stop playing?" asked Ling Yiran."Aun
He clenched his jaw and felt his teeth ache. 'Yeah, she’s broken up with me. She has every right to find a new boyfriend, but... the thought of her smiling at another man, and kissing and hugging him makes me uncomfortable.’ Gu Lichen could not help feeling irritated."You can't find one! Do you think you can find another man like me to love when you love me so much?" he said.Zhong Keke retorted with a slightly red face, "You... You're too confident. Who are you to say I can't find one? I love you now, but I can slowly get over you. Besides, I don't need to find a man like you in the future. I just need to find an ordinary man with a good personality who treats me well! I’ll give him all my heart, and he’ll do the same!"It was more like she was telling herself that.'Yes, I can move on from him. I can do it!'However, her words seemed to have provoked him as he turned the steering wheel sharply, slammed on the brakes, and pulled over at the roadside.She was thrown forward and
The fact Zhong Keke accepted was that she feared she would love him more and more!When Yi Jinli and Gu Lichen returned to the ward, Ling Yiran was still chatting with Zhong Keke about the children, not only the new baby but also the triplets."Alright, Lichen and I are going home first. Yiran, have a good rest. I'll visit you and the baby again next time," Zhong Keke said and got up after seeing the exhaustion on Ling Yiran's face.Ling Yiran replied, "Okay. I'll let you meet my triplets next time.""Sure."After Zhong Keke and Gu Lichen left, Yi Jinli lay on Ling Yiran's bed and said, "If you're sleepy, sleep first. The doctor said you need more rest."Ling Yiran said, "I'm a little sleepy, but I had a nice chat with Keke today. Jin, you know what? I think it's great that Lichen has fallen in love with Keke. Keke's a wonderful woman, and Lichen has finally found his happily ever after."She said as she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.Looking at his wife's sleeping fac
"Thank you! It's a good painting, and I like it very much. I didn't expect you to draw my daughter like that.""I saw the baby when I came to the hospital that day, so I remembered," said Zhong Keke."I heard from Jin that you and Lichen both came to the hospital that day. I didn't scare you, did I?" said Ling Yiran.Zhong Keke smiled softly, "All that matters is that you're safe. Being alive is better than anything."The two women chatted while the two men looked at each other. Then, Yi Jinli said, "Lichen, let's go get some air."The two men got up and walked out of the ward.Zhong Keke looked uneasily at the ward door.Ling Yiran said, "They’ll be back soon. Don't worry. My Jin won't kidnap Lichen."Zhong Keke smiled, knowing that Yi Jinli probably had not told Ling Yiran about what happened that day."By the way, how are you and Lichen's relationship? Does he treat you well?" Ling Yiran asked."He treats me well." It was true. He treated her well. He would give her everyt
He and Song Qingyao were not even friends."You don't have to explain this to me," said Zhong Keke. They had broken up, and she did not need these explanations.Besides, she knew better than anyone that he had always been in love with Yiran.Thinking of Yiran, Zhong Keke said, "I want to go to the hospital to see Yiran. Can I?" The last time she visited Yiran, Yiran was still unconscious, so she wanted to check on her.Hesitation flashed across Gu Lichen's face."Don't worry. I won't say anything to trigger Yiran. I’ll still pretend to be your girlfriend in front of Yiran. If Yiran asks you, you can say we're doing quite well. When Yiran has recovered, I can make an excuse to say we've broken up. Of course, I can take all the blame. For example, I thought being with you attracted too much attention, or I couldn’t get used to being with you, or I had fallen for someone else—"Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly pulled into a wide embrace.His hands held her tightly
Zhou Xinmian: [I said you were living with Gu Lichen now. Then they said nothing and left readily.]"..."Zhou Xinmian: [Did you block their phone numbers? They said you're not answering your phone.]Zhong Keke: [Yeah.]She should have blocked her uncle's family's phone numbers long ago. Even blocking them now was considered late!Zhou Xinmian: [Well done! But didn’t they try calling you using another phone number?]Zhong Keke: [They did. But as soon as they spoke and I heard their voices, I hung up and blocked their phone numbers.]In other words, she did not give them a chance to talk.She did not want to listen to what they had to say anyway. They had worn out the last of her affection.Zhou Xinmian: [Have you made up your mind this time?]Zhong Keke: [I’ll just consider that my grandparents only gave birth to my father!]In other words, she no longer considered her uncle and his family her family!Zhou Xinmian: [You should have done that long ago! They told me Gu Lichen
It was why he had said such things at the time to keep the woman from leaving!"Maybe I've liked you since then." It probably started earlier than he thought.Zhong Keke's eyes watered as tears were about to pour out. She raised her hands and covered her eyes, "Gu Lichen, stop telling me such things!"Such things would only make her waver when her resolution was hard-won. Did he know how much determination and perseverance it took her to ask for a break-up and keep her distance from him to stop loving him when she loved him so much?Though her hands shielded her eyes, they could not stop the tears.His fingers pulled her hands away. "Alright, I'll stop. I'll stop talking. Don't cry."Her tears had always left him flustered.He hugged her and coaxed her. The indifference in his phoenix eyes had become affection.Zhong Keke finally stopped crying, but she still sniffled occasionally.Holding a tissue, Gu Lichen carefully wiped the tears from her face. After a moment, he said,
"Do you care about me?" She smiled bitterly. "That word isn’t only something you say but..." She did not continue speaking after a pause.However, he already knew what she was going to say.Gu Lichen turned pale. He knew that the incident at the comic fiesta was something that bothered her.He was the one who caused it!"Also, I think we'd better talk about the possibility of me getting pregnant!" she said."Okay, go ahead," he said as he asked the others in the living room to leave."Will you insist that I have the baby if I get pregnant?" she asked, looking at him."If you’re pregnant, I don't want to lose the baby," he said. He had never longed for children even though his parents had always wanted grandchildren, even if it was out of wedlock.However, such ideas had never occurred to him.Now, he wanted to have the baby because they would be... his baby with Keke!"Even if I don't want the baby, are you still going to stop me from having an abortion?" she asked.He was s
Even though he did not love her, she still thought she was a better candidate than Zhong Keke.However, to her disappointment, the way Gu Lichen looked at her was still icy."I'm not interested in you. The Song family you're so proud of will no longer exist in Shen City a year later. Perhaps the Song family can keep some things if you start planning now. Otherwise, you'll have nothing left."With that said, Gu Lichen left the ward, leaving Song Qingyao standing where she was in a daze.Other than reluctance, resentment, and jealousy, there was more shock and fear on her face.'Does Lichen intend to eradicate the Song family within a year? Is... Is he going that far for Zhong Keke? He doesn't love Zhong Keke, right? Why is he doing it? Why?' Unfortunately, no one could give her the answer.Gu Lichen walked out of the hospital and got into the car. He slowly closed his eyes as Song Qingyao's last words flashed through his mind.'It doesn't matter... even if I don't love her?'Kek
Song Qingyao's heart sank. Sure enough, he could find out anything he wanted to."Why did you do it?" Gu Lichen said coldly.Song Qingyao suddenly laughed. "You're asking me why? Gu Lichen, I’ve loved you for so many years. What do you think?""I wouldn't love you even if Zhong Keke didn't exist. If I wanted to fall for you, I would have done so from the beginning," said Gu Lichen.Song Qingyao's mouth was full of bitterness. She knew that!However, knowing was one thing. Her being reluctant and unwilling to accept it was a different matter!She shouted, "Why did you choose Zhong Keke? You love Ling Yiran because Ling Yiran saved your life when you were a child. What about Zhong Keke? Why her?"She accepted losing to Ling Yiran because she had never saved Lichen's life.However, how could she accept losing to Zhong Keke? "Because she's the one who saved me from the messy relationship," replied Gu Lichen."What do you mean?" Song Qingyao was puzzled.Instead of explaining, he
