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
Looking at her figure, Guo Xinli suddenly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. He quickly caught up with her. "Yiran! I... I wish you happiness!"He blushed a little as he said this. It was as though he had taken great courage. "Though... I'm not the one to give you happiness, I still hope the woman I like can be happy."Ling Yiran stared blankly at the person in front of her with a warm feeling in her heart."Thank you. You... are a nice man." She had always found his simplicity, warmth, and kindness to others precious.'A nice man...' Guo Xinli sighed in his heart. He was a nice man, but he was not a man she would love."I..." He paused, and his face grew redder as if he was hesitating and struggling."What's the matter? If there's anything else, you can just say it," said Ling Yiran."Can... I hug you? Just a little while. Think of it as saying goodbye to my feelings in the past..." He smiled wryly and said, "I was going to say that, but I think it's too much for m
He took a deep breath and turned to look at her. "Someone sent these? Do you really not know who sent them?"Hearing this, Hua Lifang shivered a little. It was as if his phoenix eyes could see through everything."Of course, I don't know who sent them, but if I knew, I would have gone to him and asked him why he sent them!" Hua Lifang put on an aggrieved look and said, "Lichen... Do you think I set this up? I know you like Yiran and only think of me as your childhood savior. In that case, why should I bother? It's better for you to be with Yiran rather than someone I don't know well. This way, there will always be room for me even if you marry Yiran. You don't even need to sever ties with me or anything!"Hua Lifang said piteously as if she meant it.Gu Lichen stared at Hua Lifang with his thin lips pressed together. Moments later, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Look someone up for me. His name is Guo Xinli! He used to work at the Sanitation Service Center. I'll send
It was... Chenchen.Even though she did not think that she would fall in love with anyone again, could she be indifferent to his feelings?Just as Ling Yiran was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang. Ling Yiran looked at the caller ID, and it was Gu Lichen's name.She pressed the answer button, and Gu Lichen's clear yet somewhat gorgeous voice sounded through her phone. "Sorry to call you so late.""It's alright. I'm still up. What's the matter?" asked Ling Yiran."I just... suddenly wanted to hear your voice," he said.She was stunned. She did not know how to speak when he put it like that.He hesitated and said, "Yiran, if... If you like Transformers toys, I can buy you any previous models." "No thanks. I actually... Uh, I liked them when I was little, but I’ve grown out of it now," she said immediately."Really?" His voice paused. "I don't know how to please a woman." After all, it was always the other women who were trying to please him.As long as he gave those women so
"I'll go. The doctor will be here soon, and it'll be troublesome to go get him again if you've gone away and aren't around." After all, doctors were not always in their offices. Sometimes, they had to make ward rounds or go to the outpatient clinic. They were not always available.Zhuo Qianyun thought about it and agreed, so she said to Guo Xinli, "Sorry for the trouble.""It's nothing. I came over to run errands!" Guo Xinli said with a smile. Then he turned and walked out of the ward.Zhuo Qianyun looked at Guo Xinli's leaving figure and could not help saying with a sigh, "He's a nice man.""Yeah, he's a nice man," said Ling Yiran."But this world is always unfair to kind people. I hope good things happen to him," muttered Zhuo Qianyun. When she was young, she had not thought much of dull and honest men like Lil Guo. At that time, the men she admired were men like Ye Wenming.However, after experiencing so many things, she found that it was a blessing to fall for an honest man.
