Perhaps subconsciously, he hoped that when Yiran found out about the truth one day, someone would give him a hand too....Zhuo Qianyun recovered well after the surgery. After two days in the ICU, she was transferred to an ordinary ward.Even though the transplant was successful, she still needed regular medical follow-ups.Every time Zhuo Qianyun saw the surgical scar on her upper abdomen while the nurse changed her dressing, mixed emotions surged up in her heart.No matter how unwilling she was, the liver in her body was eventually changed to Ye Wenming's!However... maybe she could survive. Perhaps she could keep living so that her mother did not have to go through the tragedy of losing her daughter and watch Lil Yan grow up.Lil Yan and Mrs. Zhuo had nervously stayed with Zhuo Qianyun in the hospital these days. Ling Yiran would come to the hospital to visit Zhuo Qianyun from time to time."I'm really embarrassed to let you worry about me when you're heavily pregnant," Zhuo
Ling Yiran was sad when she thought of Lianyi's resilience, but she was more proud than anything to have such a strong friend. She knew Lianyi would not be defeated so easily!Even though Lianyi had broken up with Bai Tingxin, she did not give up on herself but chose to cooperate with the treatment to recover. She had even jokingly said to her, "Isn't it only a breakup? How big of a deal is it? Few people get married after dating their first loves these days. At best, I'm just following the crowd. Maybe Mr. Right will come to me once I leave the hospital!"Lianyi's optimism made Ling Yiran believe that Lianyi would be happy in the future!"That's good." Zhuo Qianyun was also slightly relieved. "Yiran, you and Lianyi shouldn't end up like me."She would never fall in love again.The two of them did not notice that the ward’s door was not closed. A figure flashed faintly outside the door....Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli returned to Yi Residence. Ling Yiran was about to go upstairs, bu
"Really? If... If one day you find out that I had hurt you before, will you never accept me again no matter how much I beg for your forgiveness?" He asked that question with such difficulty that every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.Ling Yiran turned around and looked at the man in front of her with a somewhat puzzled look. "Jin, what's come over you? I keep having a feeling that you've been extremely uneasy these days."Yi Jinli was silent. 'Uneasy... Yeah! I'm indeed uneasy.'Zhuo Qianyun and Ye Wenming's incident had made him uneasy. He feared that the same fate might befall him."If what I said made you uneasy, I can explain! I just thought of Xiao Ziqi and felt a little emotional because of what Sis Zhuo said. You don't have to overthink it. How could you have possibly hurt me? Besides..."She paused. She raised her hand and gently caressed his brows, which seemed to be tinged with melancholy. "Didn't we make a promise where I'll forgive you as long as you cry i
Unable to do anything about her insistence, he eventually agreed.Therefore, they went to the hospital together.When they arrived at the hospital, Yi Jinli asked the bodyguards who followed them to watch over Ling Yiran. He then walked into the ward.In the ward, the scrawny Old Master Yi was lying on the white hospital bed. A man who used to be so powerful was eventually reaching the end of his life.Old Master Yi was trying to hold on. When he saw Yi Jinli walking in, he trembled and said, "You... You've come...""Yes, I'm here," replied Yi Jinli.One could say that he did not have much affection for Old Master Yi. The relationship they shared was more like that of a mentor and a trainee.The trainee could be gotten rid of at any time, just like a chess piece. If it was useful, it could remain on the chessboard. If it was useless, it would only be discarded like a sacrifice!"The Yi family is... Is yours now... If you fail... the Yi family, I won't let you live in peace..."
He seemed to be telling Old Master Yi of his determination to love Ling Yiran.Old Master Yi glared at his only grandson. After a while, he slowly closed his eyes as if he was tired. With his dry and hoarse throat, he murmured, “Men of the Yi family... never... end well when they love a woman too much. You... might not end well... if you... continue being like this..."Old Master Yi's voice grew weaker and weaker until his mouth stopped making any sound. The heartbeat line on the monitor nearby became a straight line.Ling Yiran felt a pang in her heart. She knew Old Master Yi was gone.A life ended right in front of her eyes, and it terrified her. An elderly who was Jin's family no longer existed in this world. It all seemed a little unreal.Yi Jinli held Ling Yiran's hand tightly. He held it tighter and tighter until a cry of surprise sounded in his ears. He suddenly came to his senses and quickly let go."Does it hurt?" He took her hand nervously and saw that it was faintly re
The mourning hall was brightly lit up. The candle had to be lit for three days and they had to keep the incense burning.Ling Yiran walked into the mourning hall and only saw Yi Jinli standing inside with the light falling on him, intertwining with the shadows. He was looking at Old Master Yi who was lying in the ice coffin, wearing graveclothes. Yi Jinli’s handsome face was expressionless."Jin," Ling Yiran called out.Only then did he seem to come back to his senses. He turned to look at her. "Didn't I tell you that you don’t have to come here as much? I can take care of things here.""I came because I wanted to see you," said Ling Yiran as she approached Yi Jinli, raising her hand to touch his face.It was already early January, and the weather was getting colder and colder. However, the mourning hall did not have a heater. Therefore, although it was indoors, it was still cold.It was colder here, especially at night."Are you going to stay here tonight?" she asked.He mutte
He must have longed for Old Master Yi to shower him with the affection a grandparent would have for their grandchild. When he returned to the Yi family, Old Master Yi was the only one he could rely on.Ling Yiran muttered, "But I should also thank him for raising you so that I could meet you, Jin. I'll give you the familial affection you want. The kids will give it to you too."He was a little stunned. A look of surprise glimmered in his eyes. He had never told her this, but she knew... he longed for familial affection."You said everyone cares about different things, then what about you? What do you care about most?" he muttered as he took in her scent.He liked to smell her scent. It made him feel reassured."Me?" Ling Yiran thought about it for a while and said, "What I care about most is the family I have with you. I care about you and the kids. That's what I care most about!""But Yiran, I'm greedy. I'm so greedy I'm unwilling to share your concern with anyone else. Even if
Now that Old Master Yi had passed away, Ling Yiran was officially the mistress of the Yi family!Besides, it was said that Ling Yiran was pregnant with triplets. When the three babies were born, her position as the mistress of the Yi family would probably be more secure.Therefore, the people who attended Old Master Yi's funeral all treated Ling Yiran with respect.As the deceased's family member, Ling Yiran stood beside Yi Jinli throughout. The funeral ceremony for a family like the Yi family was naturally more complicated than an ordinary family’s.Yi Jinli was afraid that Ling Yiran would get exhausted and asked her to sit down and rest, but she still insisted on staying by his side."I'm not tired yet. I'll tell you if I am. I wouldn't risk my health," she said, well aware that she was not alone now. She was carrying three babies in her belly!Just then, the ushers outside the funeral service called out Gu Lichen's name. Ling Yiran suddenly shuddered and turned her head in th
