"Do you remember what you last said to me when we parted in the hospital as children?" he asked abruptly."Huh?" Hua Lifang blinked and said, "Of course, I do. Didn't I give you one of my bracelets? I also told you we'd use them as tokens. I told you to take the bracelet with you when you come to see me. In case you come to me too late, each of us still has an identical bracelet. Even if our appearances have changed, we’d still be able to recognize each other."Hua Lifang deliberately added, "It was because I remembered watching a TV series where the male and female leads recognized each other by having half a jade pendant each, so I followed suit."Hearing this, Gu Lichen could not help but smile wryly. 'What am I thinking? Am I hoping what Ling Yiran said is true? Am I hoping that woman to be the little girl who saved me when I was a child? Am I hoping that the one I’ve been missing all these years is Yiran?'But that person is Lifang! Even if Lifang isn't who I thought she was,
Was Hua Lifang trying to use Guo Xinli to pit her against Gu Lichen?What should she do to persuade Gu Lichen to let go of his hostility toward Guo Xinli?Maybe she should try again and find a chance to talk to Lichen one-on-one to explain the whole story...After thinking about it for some time, her phone rang and interrupted her trance. Ling Yiran picked up the phone, and Zhuo Qianyun's voice sounded from the phone. "Yiran, what’s going on with Lil Guo's incident? Lil Yan keeps asking about Uncle Guo these days.""It's difficult. I'll think of a way and see if I can find evidence to prove his innocence," said Ling Yiran. The odds were slim, but she would try."If there's anything I can do, let me know," said Zhuo Qianyun."Okay, " replied Ling Yiran. After ending the call, she realized she had unconsciously walked to Yi Group's office building!She remembered coming here many times before, especially when she was a rider in Sis Zhuo's small restaurant. There was a time when Yi
Therefore, a strange scene formed at Yi Group's entrance. Ling Yiran was throwing up by the trash can while a security guard stood beside her. Not far away, Yi Jinli was standing where he was with his eyes on Ling Yiran. His face showed no joy or anger. Gao Congming, the driver, several company executives, and several security guards who came over all stood around Yi Jinli. When Ling Yiran finally threw up to the point that she had nothing left to throw up and looked up somewhat weakly, she found that she... was being watched!It was the first time she was being watched by so many people while she threw up.Yi Jinli was also watching her!Today, he looked grim and unapproachable in a black suit and matching turtleneck sweater.Ling Yiran looked awkward and wanted to leave, but she had to go in his direction to take the bus home. Therefore, Ling Yiran could only lower her head awkwardly and take out a tissue from her bag to wipe the corners of her lips. She speed-walked, trying to
Moments later, Ling Yiran finished wiping the upper of his shoe and looked up at him. "Is this alright?"Now, her face was as pale as snow and had no trace of color. With her thin body, she looked frail.Yi Jinli unconsciously frowned. The sight of her appearance made him feel uncomfortable.Ling Yiran waited for a while, and when Yi Jinli did not answer her, she touched her nose awkwardly and laughed at herself. She got up."May I borrow a broom and a dustpan? Let me clear this place up a bit," Ling Yiran said to a man in a security guard uniform."Huh?" The man was stunned for a moment. He replied quickly after seeing a nod from Gao Congming. "Okay, give... Give me a second."He said and quickly got a broom and a dustpan, handing them to Ling Yiran.Ling Yiran hung her head low as she began to clean up her vomit. Yi Jinli stood nearby and did not leave.Since Yi Jinli did not leave, the others naturally dared not as well. Therefore, the group of people just watched Ling Yiran
Yi Jinli brought Ling Yiran out of the elevator when it stopped at the floor where the president's office was located."Let go... What are you trying to do..." she cried out. His grim expression and the forceful aura emanating all over him gave people a sense of danger.It was even more impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.While the secretaries looked on, no one dared to step forward. After Yi Jinli brought Ling Yiran into the office, the secretaries looked at each other and agreed to act as if nothing had happened.However, there was an unconcealable shock in their eyes!These secretaries naturally knew Ling Yiran and had secretly discussed before that Ling Yiran could join the Yi family and become the mistress of the Yi family. After all, they had never seen Young Master Yi pay so much attention to a woman before.However, these days, Ling Yiran had become such a taboo that someone who had accidentally said the word ‘Yiran’ was immediately fired!Secretary G
Ling Yiran had a flashback to the scene at the hospital when she told Gu Lichen that she was the little girl who saved his life, but Gu Lichen no longer believed her because she had denied it so many times before.Her denials were all because of... Yi Jinli, who was right in front of her now!The way things turned out was almost like an irony.Taking a deep breath, Ling Yiran said, "Yi Jinli, what's going on between Gu Lichen and me is between us. I'm not here to see you either. I thought we had already made it clear at the beginning."His eyes grew colder, and his fingers suddenly grabbed her jaw."Ah!" exclaimed Ling Yiran. She felt a pang of pain from her jaw, and his face was so close to hers that the tips of their noses almost touched. It was so close that she could count his eyelashes."Ling Yiran..." His hoarse voice rang in her ears. "Have you ever regretted it? Do you regret asking me to let you go?"She immediately stiffened. 'Regret? Maybe I would have gotten back tog
Ling Yiran quickly dialed Qin Lianyi's phone number, but a busy tone sounded from the other end.Ling Yiran called several times consecutively, but none of them got through.A strong uneasiness immediately surged in her heart.‘Nothing... can happen to Lianyi!’Ling Yiran quickly began to search online for Bai Tingxin's news and current whereabouts. However, the latest news about Bai Tingxin was only the gossip news she saw earlier about him being missing.After all, Bai Tingxin was only a businessman, not a celebrity. Though he was the patriarch of the Bai family, the attention he got would still be limited after all. Therefore, the news did not become very popular either.'What the hell is going on with Lianyi? Why isn’t Lianyi picking up her phone?' Ling Yiran also tried texting, sending WeChat messages... and so on. She tried every possible way to reach her, but there was no reply.Ling Yiran hesitated for a moment and finally called Lianyi's parents. She had saved the numbe
When she came to the hospital and mentioned Qin Lianyi's name at the nurses’ station, what was originally a fluke finally came true.Qin Lianyi was heavily injured and just got out of the emergency room. She was still under observation in the ICU ward. She could only be transferred to the general ward once she got through the critical period. Everything in front of Ling Yiran seemed to be turning gray. When she came to the ICU ward, she saw Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin standing by the glass wall. They were crying as they looked inside.Not having seen Lianyi's parents for more than four years, Ling Yiran never thought she would see them again in a place like this.'Lianyi... Lianyi is now...'Ling Yiran's legs were trembling. She was afraid to go up and see what Lianyi looked like behind the glass wall. She was scared that she would not be able to bear the sight!Step... by step...The short distance became so far away.When she finally walked up to the transparent glass wall, Ling Yi
