As she was thinking about it, the door of the president's office in front of her opened. Hao Qirong walked out.However, Hao Qirong was standing sideways facing the office, so he did not notice that Ling Yiran was standing not far away."Yi Jinli, if you really want to get justice for Ling Yiran, don't forget that you had a hand in what happened to her too!" Hao Qirong said fiercely.Ling Yiran's heart gave a sudden jolt. She subconsciously took a few steps forward. Then, the familiar cold voice came through the half-opened door."Hao Qirong, if you dare say one more word, I'll make sure the Hao family ceases to exist!"Her eyes caught sight of the figure standing inside. However, the handsome face she was familiar with was now full of cold rage. Killing intent flashed across his beautiful peach blossom eyes!'Killing intent... Am I seeing it wrongly?'Hao Qirong, who was standing by the door, was frightened by Yi Jinli. He subconsciously turned his head to avoid his gaze but wa
It was as if he was afraid of something!'What is he afraid of?'Is it because of Hao Qirong? What Hao Qirong said last was...'Ling Yiran suddenly seemed to have realized something and said, "Jin, are you... scared that I'll be angry?" she guessed.His body stiffened suddenly, and his breathing became rapid.However, he did not answer her, and his arms closed a little tighter around her.Ling Yiran instantly knew she was right. It seemed to be because of what Hao Qirong had said at the end.After all, Jin's reaction to what Hao Qirong had said earlier... The rage and murderous look in his eyes had been frightening.It was as if Hao Qirong... had said something that crossed his bottom line."Don't worry, I won't be mad!" said Ling Yiran.Yi Jinli's lips trembled, and even his voice quivered as he spoke, "You won't... get mad?""Yes, I won't." She smiled and lifted her hands to hold his face. "Hao Qirong probably came to look for you because of Haocui Garden today. I know you
"But..." Ling Yiran frowned suddenly and let out a cry of surprise. Her hands subconsciously covered her bulging belly."What's the matter?" he immediately asked nervously."The babies... are kicking me," said Ling Yiran. She had been able to feel their movements for some time now, but they were always so light and vague that she sometimes thought it was an illusion.However, that kick earlier was a real kick.Then, again and again, it was as though they were doing exercises in her belly."The babies are kicking you?" Yi Jinli's eyes fell on her belly."Yeah, feel it." As she spoke, she took his hand and placed it on the spot where the babies were moving.With the babies moving again and again, Yi Jinli was a little stunned. He had looked up relevant information and knew when and how a pregnant woman might feel the baby's movements.However... theoretical knowledge was just theoretical knowledge.It was a different feeling when he felt the babies' movements for himself.It wa
Many people online called her nasty names, and even the hospital staff gave her strange glances.Kong Ziyin could only think of getting out of the hospital first.However, she was mobbed by a group of reporters the second she walked out of the hospital after going through the hospital discharge procedure."Miss Kong, what do you think of the video they played on the streets?""What was Mr. Ye's reaction? Will your wedding go on as scheduled?""Was the baby you miscarried Mr. Ye's or the man on the video?""Did you deliberately frame Ms. Zhuo Qianyun to make it appear that she caused you to miscarry the baby?"The barrage of tough questions made Kong Ziyin look extremely grim, and the flashing lights embarrassed her even more."Stop it! Stop it!" Kong Ziyin blocked the cameras with her hands, while Mr. Kong, Mrs. Kong, and some of the subordinates they brought with them helped hold off the reporters.When the group finally got into the car, Kong Ziyin gritted her teeth in hatre
Mr. Kong was shocked too. He only thought Ye Wenming looked like a ghost at the moment."Wenming, don't... Don't listen to those reporters' nonsense. I... I did lie to you about the bone marrow donation, but it was only because I love you. I fell in love with you before you knew me. That's... That's why I did it. Although... Although I lied to you, it's... it's not against the law!" Kong Ziyin tried to defend herself.Ye Wenming looked at Kong Ziyin. "Fell in love with me?" His eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse as he said, "Did you fall for me or the Ye family’s prestige?! Kong Ziyin, do you know that you've ruined my life?""How... How could I have ruined your life? I can hardly wait to love you." Kong Ziyin tried hard to look vulnerable. "Wenming, I know what I did was wrong and it has upset you. If you want me to apologize to Zhuo Qianyun or make amends, I can do it. I'll do whatever you want me to do.""You love me? To love me is to lie to me? To love me is to let me be t
Smack!The loud slap made Kong Ziyin stop her speech short and she almost fell to the ground again.One side of her cheek instantly became red and swollen as a slap print appeared.However, Kong Ziyin seemed to feel no pain and said sarcastically, "Even if Zhuo Qianyun lives to have her name cleared, she won’t stay alive for long. Ye Wenming, I'd like to see what you’ll look like when Zhuo Qianyun dies!"Ye Wenming immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at Kong Ziyin. "How do you know she's sick?"Kong Ziyin laughed wildly. "Haha. How do I know? I know everything about Zhuo Qianyun better than you do! Ye Wenming, you're blind!"Ye Wenming's thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line. He clenched his teeth. A long time passed before he finally said, "You're right. I am blind!"He was blind to have been deceived for so long and not know who was the one who had his best interests at heart!Therefore, he deserved all this punishment."Kong Ziyin, I was blind, and my hear
'That was why she had smiled at me like that. She smiled and thanked me.'Because she had completely let go of her feelings for me.'And I was such a fool! Only now have I learned the true meaning of that smile.'When the car stopped, he heard the driver in front of him exclaim, "Mr. Ye, why... are you bleeding?"Ye Wenming slowly opened his eyes. Following the driver's gaze, he raised his hand to the corner of his lips to touch it and found that the corner of his lips was bleeding.He had bitten his lip so hard that he unconsciously injured it.Ye Wenming wiped the blood from his lips, opened the door, and got out.However, just as he was about to go to the hospital's inpatient building, he saw Zhuo Qianyun, Mrs. Zhuo, and the two men from before who had been in charge of guarding the ward's entrance coming out of the hospital. The two men were holding duffel bags in their hands.It looked like they were discharging from the hospital!Ye Wenming immediately lunged forward. "H
Now, he did not even know what he should do and how to ask for her forgiveness!...Zhuo Qianyun and Mrs. Zhuo went home. Zhuo Qianyun asked the two bodyguards Yi Jinli sent to go back first, telling them they did not have to keep watch at her place. After all, her place was quite small and not suitable for them to stay.After the two bodyguards left, Mrs. Zhuo poked her head out and looked out of the window. She saw Ye Wenming's car parked in front of the apartment downstairs. Ye Wenming was standing beside the car, facing the apartment building while standing motionless.Mrs. Zhuo frowned. "How long is this man going to stand there for?""Mom, ignore him. He can stand however long he wants. It has nothing to do with us," Zhuo Qianyun said quietly.Mrs. Zhuo asked in confusion, "But why did his attitude change so suddenly? Did he find out that Kong Ziyin had set you up for the miscarriage back then? Is that why he came to apologize?"After all, news of Kong Ziyin's scandal that
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
