Several bodyguards following Ye Wenming stepped forward.Although Ye Wenming had more people, the two men guarding Zhuo Qianyun's ward did not budge.After all, they had received strict orders not to let certain people disturb Zhuo Qianyun and Ye Wenming was among those ‘certain people’."We're sorry to do this!" said the two men.Both parties were on the brink of a fight breaking out.Just then, the door of the ward suddenly opened and Zhuo Qianyun stepped out.When the two men guarding the ward saw Zhuo Qianyun appear, they hurriedly said, "Miss Zhuo, don't worry. If you don't want to see Mr. Ye, he won't be able to break into the ward no matter what today."Since they had been selected to keep guard here, they had what it took to keep people out.Zhuo Qianyun looked up and her eyes fell on Ye Wenming.Ye Wenming was different from the last time she saw him. Although he was still impeccably dressed, he had a scruffy jaw and his hair looked a little messy. His face looked ver
Zhuo Qianyun tried to pull the hem of her hospital gown back from Ye Wenming's hand as she spoke. However, how could Ye Wenming let go?He was afraid he would not know when he would see her again if he let go.Zhuo Qianyun frowned, and one of the two men guarding the ward said, "Mr. Ye, please let go, or you'll only embarrass everyone." With that, the man grabbed Ye Wenming's hand which held the hem of Zhuo Qianyun’s hospital gown.However, Ye Wenming seemed not to have heard that and just looked straight at Zhuo Qianyun. "I know you hate me. Yes, I deserve it, but I beg you, let me talk to you alone, okay? There are so many things I want to tell you!""But I have nothing to say to you," said Zhuo Qianyun.'Nothing to say?' Ye Wenming smiled wryly. He was still tugging at the hem of her hospital gown even though the bodyguards were trying to pry his hand away. A burst of pain came from his hand.His whole hand felt like it was going to break. His fingers were already contorted, b
"I wished for a friend I helped to live a healthy life and not be troubled by diseases. Now that I got a good sign, he should be alright now.""Friend? What friend?""A friend I’ve never met, but perhaps I will someday. I'll introduce you to each other when that happens!" she said with a sweet smile."What kind of friend have you never met? An online friend?" he asked."It's a secret! I'll tell you in the future!" she said while beaming.It was only when he thought back to it now that he realized he was the friend she had spoken about!She saved him. Although they had never met, she was still concerned about his health.However, he ruined her life!If he had asked her more details about her friend, he might have gotten a clue but he missed it.He had never thought of hearing her tell him about this ‘secret’ again because he knew back then that she and he would never have a future together.He was only dating her for revenge then.Just then, the bodyguard beside Ye Wenming ca
'Did Ye Wenming hurt his hand?’ The speculation flashed across Zhuo Qianyun's mind for a short while but she soon abandoned the thought completely.She did not want to think about this man anymore."Did he say anything to you when he came last night?" Ling Yiran asked as she sat down.Zhuo Qianyun said lightly, "He seems to know about the bone marrow transplant and the fact that the Kong family plotted the miscarriage. He said he would make up for these things, but I don't think it's necessary anymore." Zhuo Qianyun lightly spoke about it, but Ling Yiran knew she had been hurt too deeply, which was why she was so calm about it when the truth came out."Kong Ziyin framed you and lied to Ye Wenming. Ye Wenming won't let the Kong family off easily," said Ling Yiran.Zhuo Qianyun smiled faintly. "It has nothing to do with me anymore."Seeing this, Ling Yiran knew that Zhuo Qianyun did not want to talk about Ye Wenming anymore. Therefore, she changed the subject. "Has Aunt sent Lil
"You'll find out when you see them," Ling Yiran said lightly.'Then Ye Wenming will know just how much he owes Sis Zhuo and how badly he ruined her!'What can Ye Wenming possibly do to compensate for these?''Maybe it's just like what Jin said. Once Ye Wenming finds out about the truth, he might live in regret and pain for the rest of his life.'Once they got to the hospital’s entrance, Ye Wenming followed Ling Yiran into the car.The car was driving slowly on the road, and Ye Wenming suddenly asked out loud, "Did you arrange for Zhou Yuanlu to appear in the ward?""Yes," said Ling Yiran. Regarding Zhou Yuanlu, Jin had kept an eye on him when he helped her investigate the matter of the bone marrow donation.Therefore, she knew everything about Zhou Yuanlu and Kong Ziyin.She had planned on telling Ye Wenming after sorting out all the evidence but did not expect it to be too late.Ye Wenming pondered for a moment before saying, "So you already know about the bone marrow donatio
It was as if he had stepped on the edge of a cliff and the slightest movement would crush him."Paid? Say what she wanted?" Ye Wenming said dryly, his eyes full of anger. "Aren't you a doctor? Aren't you supposed to save lives? But you went and harmed people! You put an innocent person in prison!"Startled by Ye Wenming's anger, the man stammered, "I... I only said in court that Kong Ziyin was pregnant and miscarried. I didn’t say anything else. Mr. Ye, weren't you the one who testified that Kong Ziyin was pushed down the stairs by that woman?"His words were like a slap in the face, and Ye Wenming was immediately speechless.Back then... It was true that he had been the one who testified that Qianyun had pushed Kong Ziyin down the stairs!His testimony was all that mattered! It was because of his testimony that the judge finally declared Qianyun guilty!Ye Wenming did not know what to say all of a sudden. The blood coursing through his body seemed to have frozen."If Kong Ziyin
No matter how hard he hit himself, it seemed impossible for him to vent out the pain he was feeling."Ah... Ah... Ah!" A hoarse sob-like roar came out of his mouth.Everything in the past flashed through his mind.Zhuo Qianyun had kept telling him that she was wronged but he did not believe her at all. At that time, he was bent on retaliating against her and the Zhuo family. He just hoped that she had really pushed Kong Ziyin down the stairs.It was because only in this way could he easily let her have a miserable end and make himself guilt-free!He had ruthlessly and viciously stabbed her back while using the law as a knife.He had crushed... her dignity, pride, and innocence!"Wenming, do you believe in being with only one person forever?""Do you?""Of course! If a person really loves another person, then they probably won't fall in love with someone else again. If they do fall in love with someone else, then the person they fell in love with before wasn’t someone they real
Hao Qirong said, "Jinli, after all, the Hao family and the Yi family were friends once. You're not really going to wipe us out, are you? The Haocui Garden project is very important to the Hao family. The Yi family might not be able to profit much from it after taking it. Why make things hard for everyone?""The Hao family has had their glory long enough, and now it's time to draw the curtains," Yi Jinli said lightly. His calm attitude at the moment was a far cry from Hao Qirong's tense appearance."Hasn't the Hao family worked well with the Yi family all these years? If you have any opinions or conditions, you can tell me. You can just tell me what you want. If the Hao family can do it—""I want all the companies under the Hao family to be removed from Shen City," said Yi Jinli as he interrupted Hao Qirong.Hao Qirong's expression immediately changed. Yi Jinli’s request was basically asking the Hao family to throw away all their properties in Shen City!Most of the Hao family's pr
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
