"Were you thinking of Jinli?" asked Gu Lichen. He could have not asked, but his pride made him ask.Ling Yiran was stunned and kept quiet.However, her silence made it clear to him that his guess was right."Even if you still have Jinli in your heart, I'll wait until you get over him and fall in love with me," muttered Gu Lichen."It's not that I haven't gotten over him. I no longer have such feelings for him." Ling Yiran denied."If that's the case, all the better." Gu Lichen chuckled. "Maybe my wait will be shorter that way. Yiran, you don't hate me, do you?"Ling Yiran pressed her lips. 'Hate? How could I hate Chenchen?'Just then, Gu Lichen's phone rang suddenly. He picked it up, and his expression changed slightly after he listened for a while. He said in a deep voice, "Okay, got it!"Once he ended the call, Gu Lichen looked at Ling Yiran with a straight face and said, "We've found out who’s the mastermind behind the accident.""What?" Ling Yiran was surprised. "So soon?
However, Gao Jingrong had done this herself, and the Gao family had no idea about it. If it was done by the Gao family, they would have been more stealthy and it would have been harder to catch them.After reading Gao Jingrong's statement, Qin Lianyi said to Ling Yiran with a face of guilt, "Yiran, I'm sorry. You almost died because of me!"Ling Yiran said, "Don't say that if we're friends. If we're going to apologize, I'm afraid I have more to apologize about!"Lianyi had given up her studies and a better future for her case. She had gone to a lot of trouble for her for three years. She could never repay her kindness!Bai Tingxin stepped forward and said, "I didn't handle the matter well. I didn't expect Gao Jingrong to have the guts to do such a thing and made you two suffer!"He had only been keeping an eye on the Gao family but never sent anyone to see if there would be anything wrong with Gao Jingrong.After all, in his opinion, Gao Jingrong was just the Gao family's sacrifi
Some passersby around them looked over curiously due to the commotion.However, Yi Jinli did not even cast her a glance and only walked toward the waiting car.Out of the corner of her eyes, the woman suddenly caught sight of Ling Yiran and immediately rushed toward her. "Miss Ling, please help me out. Didn't you want to help me last time? Please, ask Mr. Yi to let me go!"Things were happening all too quickly. Before Ling Yiran knew it, the woman was already in front of her in the blink of an eye. Her fingers were all wrapped in white gauze, catching everyone’s eyes.The woman's forehead was red and swollen, oozing with blood. There was a look of frantic pleading on her face. It was as if she would desperately cling to anything that would save her from this."I shouldn't have tried to take advantage of your experience that day. I shouldn't have put on a show and pretended to have my nails pulled out to attract Mr. Yi's attention, but I've gotten my punishment! I've already had my
After all, after the Frozen Heart ring was finished, Young Master Yi locked it in a safe and never took it out again.It was like a taboo, just like how Ling Yiran's name had become Young Master Yi's taboo too.However, this woman was violating the taboo again and again!"Go and find out how she knows about Frozen Heart. Whoever leaked it will take responsibility for it," Yi Jinli said coldly."Yes," replied Gao Congming.The woman who was begging Ling Yiran turned pale, and her lips trembled as she tried to speak, but she did not know what to say."Besides, she's right. There’s no use asking her," Yi Jinli said to the waitress, but his eyes were looking at Ling Yiran.For an instant, Ling Yiran felt as though a huge storm was surging in her chest.He was looking at her. However... there seemed to be no place for her in his eyes. There was no emotion in those beautiful peach-blossom eyes, only dead silence.Rather, she was nothing to him!"Congming, I don't want to see this w
Ling Yiran nodded while Bai Tingxin looked at the slightly pale Ling Yiran with a thoughtful expression on his face.In the evening, Bai Tingxin said to Qin Lianyi, "Tell me, is there any possibility that Yiran is pregnant?"Qin Lianyi almost spat out her drink when she heard this. "No way!" she replied without hesitating.Her affirmation made Bai Tingxin a little confused. "Why are you so sure? It hasn't even been three months since Ling Yiran broke up with Yi Jinli. You won't be able to tell even if she is pregnant."Qin Lianyi bit her lip. How could she put it? After all, it was Yiran's privacy. The possibility of Yiran getting pregnant was too low. She had gotten injured so badly in prison, and though she had undergone treatment after getting together with Yi Jinli, they broke up shortly after that. Yiran did not want to go through that kind of treatment anymore.Facing Bai Tingxin's gaze, Qin Lianyi said, "In short, there's no way Yiran can be pregnant now, and Tingxin... I p
"Really? Which one did you play with?" Guo Xinli opened his bag and showed Ling Yiran the Transformers toys in it as he spoke.Ling Yiran took a look. These were not just a few. There were a ton of them! There were at least a dozen at a glance.Ling Yiran found the same toy she had played with last time—Bumblebee."This was what I had," said Ling Yiran as she looked at the Bumblebee in her hand. A touch of nostalgia flashed across her almond-shaped eyes."You can have it then," said Guo Xinli."But aren’t these for Lil Yan?" asked Ling Yiran."There are so many more for Lil Yan. He won't miss this one. You can keep this one as a souvenir," said Guo Xinli.'Souvenir...' Ling Yiran looked at the Bumblebee in her hands. She had begged her grandmother for this toy for so long. She had no concept of money back then, and she had no idea that her grandmother had used the money she normally saved to buy it for her.Ling Yiran's heart softened as she thought of her grandmother. "Thank
It was the same as last time!Almost in anger, Hua Lifang left the room while Ling Yiran sat down by the bed with an apple and a paring knife. She began to peel an apple for Gu Lichen."Did you run into your former colleague downstairs?" Gu Lichen asked casually."Yeah, you've seen him before. It's Guo Xinli. You met him when I had that incident at the film studio," said Ling Yiran. She answered Gu Lichen casually without being defensive.'Guo Xinli...' Gu Lichen's eyes glimmered. He still remembered that she had gone missing that time. Guo Xinli's face had looked so anxious. That kind of care and concern... He could see that Guo Xinli was probably interested in her."Yes, he was worried about you," Gu Lichen said lightly."He's a nice man." A faint smile appeared on the corners of Ling Yiran's lips. She remembered that Guo Xinli came to the hospital today to bring those Transformers toys to Lil Yan. She did not expect Guo Xinli to keep such vintage toys so well.Although new ve
Even though this Bumblebee was not the one her grandmother had bought for her, looking at the same model would remind her of that time and the moments she had spent with her grandmother.Grandma held a gentle place in her heart!Looking at Ling Yiran's smile, the sour feeling in Gu Lichen’s heart became stronger. 'She and Guo Xinli... No, she probably won’t have any feelings for the man. They're only former colleagues.'But why... can't I help overthinking it? It's as if I'm afraid he'll occupy an important place in her heart!'Outside the ward, Hua Lifang peered furtively at the scene inside, a look of calculation flashing across her eyes....Ling Yiran left Gu Lichen's ward and went to Lil Yan's ward. Guo Xinli was also in Lil Yan's ward, playing with him.The little one liked these Transformers toys. He kept playing with them."By the way, when will Lil Yan be discharged from the hospital?" Ling Yiran asked Zhuo Qianyun who was nearby."The day after tomorrow. We'll be out
