Once Ling Yiran finished analyzing the situation, she found Yi Jinli staring intently at her."What... are you looking at?" she asked."I just think you're beautiful," he said.Her heart was beating fast again. 'When did he become such a sweet talker and such a flirt? He's the beautiful one, alright?'"By the way, any news from Bai Tingxin?" Ling Yiran asked after calming herself down. Lianyi was going to have her second operation in two days. The doctor also said Lianyi would wake up if everything went well after the operation.How awful would Lianyi feel if she woke up and Bai Tingxin was still missing? Yi Jinli said, "Not yet. The Bai family isn’t allowing anyone to mention Bai Tingxin, blocking his news and only announcing to the public about his disappearance. All of the Bai family's affairs are temporarily handled by the first wife's family. Bai Tingxin's men have all been released from their duties."A look of worry came over Ling Yiran's face when she heard this. "Could
"What's the matter? Did I say it wrong?" he asked."Did you call my mom... Mom?" she asked in a mutter."We're already married. Your mother is my mother. Is it wrong for me to call her Mom?" he asked with amusement.There was... nothing wrong with it, but she had always thought that the word ‘Mom’ was taboo for him.It was because his mother's existence had hurt him.Seeing Ling Yiran's eyes widening in shock and doubt, Yi Jinli sighed gently. He bent over to hug Ling Yiran and said, "I was once abandoned by my mother, so the word 'mother' had always represented hatred to me. I didn't think I'd ever call anyone 'Mom' again. But Yiran... It was you who showed me that the word 'mother' still has warmth."He closed his eyes gently, rested his head on her shoulder, and told her things he never said to anyone. "Just like how you're a good mother, and your mother was a good mother too. That's why you miss her so much. She was the one who gave birth to you, and I'm very grateful. Withou
All of a sudden, Yi Jinli's eyes turned red. Was he too nervous, or was he so looking forward to it that his body even started trembling slightly? His lips were quivering too."You love me... Really?" he murmured with a shaky voice.Ling Yiran said, "Yes. Could it be fake? Jin, I love you. I thought it might take a long time for me to love you again, but... love doesn't seem to be affected by time."There was no earth-shattering incident nor any special opportunity. She just naturally confirmed her feelings for him.It was probably because she loved him.Yi Jinli suddenly held Ling Yiran in his arms again. "You said you love me. You can't go back on it!""Yes, I won't go back on my word," she said, hearing the lump in his voice. "Jin, are you crying?"He did not answer her but buried his face deeper into her shoulder, taking in her scent as if to imprint everything about her into his heart.Ling Yiran could only feel the wetness on her shoulder....When Ling Yiran and Yi Jin
Yi Jinli enjoyed Ling Yiran's gentle caress. After quite some time, he said, "Alright, let's get in the car." With that, he glared at Gao Congming who was still gaping in shock out of the corners of his eyes.Gao Congming trembled before coming back to his senses and quickly lowering his head.'Gosh. Did I just see something I shouldn't have seen? Will Young Master Yi kill me to keep it a secret?'After getting into the car and driving for a short time, Gao Congming's phone rang. A moment after answering the phone, Gao Congming turned to Yi Jinli in the back seat and reported, "Young Master Yi, Bai Tingxin has shown up!"Ling Yiran exclaimed, "What? Where's Bai Tingxin?""At the Gao family's house in J City. Bai Tingxin only showed up secretly. The police are still unaware of this, and the Bai family probably isn’t aware of it either," said Gao Congming.Ling Yiran was once again stunned. 'The Gao family?'"Gao Jingrong's Gao family?" she asked hurriedly. After all, Gao Jingrong
"I care a lot about you. You're my... husband, the father of my children. How could I not care about you?""You won't care about me if I'm not their father?" he asked.She immediately did not know whether to laugh or cry. 'Is he even jealous over the kids?'"Of course... not!" she said at once. Even a fool would have known what to say.However... he was the one she loved, and because she loved him, she loved their children even more!She raised her hand and gently rubbed his head again as she spoke."Alright, I care about Lianyi and Sis Zhuo because they really need help right now. Besides, both of them have helped me a lot, especially Lianyi... If it hadn't been for her, I probably wouldn't have met you at all."'I would have died in the cold prison.'Yi Jinli seemed to think of something and his eyes twinkled. "I know Qin Lianyi is your lifeline, so you'll help her no matter what. But does she even matter more than me?"Ling Yiran could not help but laugh. "That's incomparable
However, as she ate, she suddenly felt like throwing up again. Therefore, she made a gesture and hurried out of the private room, walking quickly toward the restroom at the end of the corridor.The female bodyguard guarding outside the private room quickly followed her.Only then did Yi Jinli take out his phone and call Gao Congming who was dining with the driver in the general dining area outside. "What did you not say in the car earlier?"Gao Congming was surprised. He did not expect Young Master Yi to have noticed it.Young Madam was in the car earlier, so there were some things he could not say."They also reported that Bai Tingxin and the Gao family's new heiress seemed very intimate. Moreover, the Gao family seems to be working on something in secret, possibly to help Bai Tingxin regain power."Yi Jinli pondered over it. 'Bai Tingxin and the Gao family's newly appeared true heiress?'"Don't tell Yiran about this first, lest she panics and let her imagination run wild. Wait
'What came over me just now? I can't believe I fell into a trance just by looking at Ling Yiran!'Just then, Ling Yiran said, "Sorry, I entered the wrong private room." She was about to close the door of the private room and leave as she spoke, but someone had already gotten up from their seat.They looked at her mockingly and said, "Hey, did you really enter the wrong private room or did you know that Young Master Xiao was here so you were looking for a chance to appear before him? Ling Yiran, I heard you got out of prison, but I didn't expect you to chase after Young Master Xiao so desperately!"The rest burst into laughter after hearing that."Did she not look at herself in the mirror? She's an ex-convict. How dare she show up in front of Ziqi?!”"I know, right? Ziqi and Yimeng are engaged now and they're getting married soon. Why is she so shameless?""Hey, Ling Yiran. You killed Yimeng's sister back then. What's the matter? Do you want to destroy Yimeng's marriage and be the
Xiao Ziqi spoke even more bluntly, "Ling Yiran, did you hear that? The only one I have in my heart is Yimeng. Since you despise me, why would you come here to approach me with such an excuse? How shameless!""You're the one with no shame. I never said I was here to see you! Xiao Ziqi, who do you think you are? How great do you think you are that I can't get over you? You know what? I think the worst thing in my life is having met a scumbag like you!" Ling Yiran snapped back.Xiao Ziqi instantly lost his cool before so many people. He immediately rushed forward, raising his hand to hit Ling Yiran.The bodyguard who followed Ling Yiran kicked the man she had subdued earlier out of the way before moving to pin Xiao Ziqi to the ground."Young Madam, how do you want to deal with this?" the bodyguard asked."Let him stay on the ground. I'll call the police, and if any of them dare come forward, just hit them," said Ling Yiran."Sure," the bodyguard answered.The crowd in the private r
