Gu Lichen pressed his thin lips together tightly, but his phoenix eyes were just looking at Ling Yiran. "If you find out one day that Jinli isn't who you think he is and can't bear to stay with him, will you... let me take care of you?"There was a slight quiver in his voice, which showed that it was not easy for him to say that. He had mustered up almost all his courage to say that!Maybe it was his... only chance!He almost held his breath after saying that, and the hands at his sides trembled imperceptibly.He nervously waited for her answer.Ling Yiran was stunned for a moment and then felt Yi Jinli's hand tightening around her hand.'Is Jin... feeling uneasy again?' Ling Yiran squeezed Yi Jinli's hand and said to Gu Lichen, "No, and there's no way whatever you just said will happen. I just want to be with Jin now and in the future as well!"Her affirmation made Gu Lichen's eyes flash with disappointment. His nervous heart seemed to empty all of a sudden, and he smiled wryly
When Ling Yiran came to the stairway, she happened to see Yi Jinli's figure. However, she also saw Gu Lichen!'What is... Gu Lichen doing here?'Just as Ling Yiran was about to go downstairs, she heard Gu Lichen say, "I didn't expect Yiran's case to have something to do with you."Ling Yiran instantly stopped in her tracks. The words she just heard made her breathing constrict.'What does Gu Lichen mean... by that? Jin has something to do with my case? Hasn’t my case with the car accident been closed? Haven't they found the real perpetrator?'"What's the matter? Is that what you wanted to talk about?" Yi Jinli's voice rang out faintly as if he was nonchalant.Gu Lichen continued saying, "That Wan Yuming was just a pawn. You knew who it was who wanted to hurt Yiran, but you kept turning a blind eye to it. Why? Was it just for the minor benefits you'd get from the Hao family? You ruined Yiran's whole life!"Yi Jinli's eyes darkened. "It seems that Old Master Yi had indeed kept som
'Jin knew from the very beginning that I was wronged, but for the benefit of the company, he chose to do nothing. He chose to say nothing, let me go to prison, and let the Hao family wrongly accuse me?'At this moment, Ling Yiran only felt cold.The steps leading to the first floor in front of her were only a short distance away, and the number of steps was only 30 or so. However, why did she feel that the steps seemed to be getting longer and longer? She eventually had the feeling that she would never reach the end."If you really want to give Yiran justice, you should let Hao Yimeng be punished by the law! Both you and the Hao family need to accept your due punishment!" Gu Lichen said angrily.He felt bursts of pain in his heart at the thought that Yiran was wrongly convicted because of Hao Yimeng. 'If I... If I had been by her side, I would never have allowed her to be so unjustly wronged.'A touch of rage suddenly burst in Yi Jinli's eyes. He rushed forward and grabbed Gu Lich
Ling Yiran suddenly found it hilarious when she heard everything the two men said. 'Why is it up to others to decide whether I should learn about the truth I deserve to know?’"Jin..." The word escaped her mouth softly. The volume was soft as usual.However, it made the two men in the hall below stiffen instantly.The two men looked up almost at the same time and looked in Ling Yiran's direction.Their expressions instantly changed. Gu Lichen was worried and frustrated. After all, he had not intended to let others hear this. Yi Jinli had also asked all the maids to leave the main house for the same reason.The purpose was to make sure no one would overhear their conversation.However, sometimes, the more you were afraid of something, the more it would happen!Yi Jinli looked at Ling Yiran standing at the top of the stairway with astonishment. His face was pale, and all his blood seemed to have frozen when he heard the word ‘Jin’.'Jin... Jin...'As much as he liked hearing her
He was silent. His eyes met her almond-shaped eyes, and the word ‘yes’ finally came out of his thin lips."Is it true that you've always known the truth but chose not to say anything because of... the deal with the Hao family?" she continued asking.His lips trembled even more. Each of her questions seemed to cut him with a sharp knife, making him feel like he was being executed.However, the saddest part was that he deserved this execution. He could not even defend himself!"Yes or no, answer me!" She raised her voice, and her expression became agitated.He said, "Yes... But Yiran, I...""Yi Jinli, how could you do that? You let someone innocent go to jail for money? You even... You knew what the Hao family did to me when I was in prison!" However, he chose not to look into it and just let the matter be.She previously thought he did that because he had mistaken her as the perpetrator in the car accident.However, now she knew that she had made a fool of herself.It turned ou
After a while, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room.The doctor said, "All three babies are safe for now.""How about the mother? Is the mother... okay?" Yi Jinli asked in a hoarse voice."We’ve given her some medicine and the situation is under control, but don't upset her again. If she breaks down again, I fear that the babies in her belly won’t be able to hold on till the 35th week."The triplets were expected to be delivered by Caesarean section on the 35th week. However, if Ling Yiran got too emotional, her water might break and she might have to deliver before then.The babies' organs might not be fully developed yet then. Even if they survived, it was likely they might suffer repercussions."I see," answered Yi Jinli, but he did not know what to do so as to not trigger her.'Why did Yiran find out about the truth at such a time?'Why?'Just as Yi Jinli was about to walk into the emergency room, Gu Lichen stopped him and said, "Are you just going to go in? I
If she were emotionally unstable, then the babies would have to be born early.Zhuo Qianyun knew Ling Yiran was not willing to talk about it. Therefore, it was probably not something minor!"Whatever it is, just tell me if you think it's too much for you to bear alone. I might not be able to help much, but at least I can hear you out. It's better than keeping it all to yourself," said Zhuo Qianyun."Thank you, Sis Zhuo," said Ling Yiran."I should be the one to thank you. You've helped me so much," said Zhuo Qianyun. Yiran had helped her find evidence when she was framed and was the key witness in her case.If it were not for Yiran, she would not be where she was right now.They chatted for a while. Zhuo Qianyun told Ling Yiran some happy things to make her feel better.After a while, Ling Yiran said, "Sis Zhuo, you haven't recovered either. You can go back first. Don't worry too much about me. I'll take care of myself. No matter what happens, I'll take good care of myself for t
Yi Jinli was silent and did not say a word.Zhuo Qianyun said, "Whatever it is, don't hurt Yiran if you care about Yiran and love her deeply."Yi Jinli's eyelashes fluttered a little. A long time passed before he said, "The last thing I want is to hurt her."...Gu Lichen walked into the ward and saw Ling Yiran in hospital clothes. She was half-sitting on the hospital bed. She still did not look good."Sorry," he said. He had never thought of letting her find out about the truth in such a way. She had almost miscarried and was even hospitalized.He had planned to keep the truth to himself and have Hao Yimeng imprisoned and punished in other ways.However, most of the time, things would not work out as planned.Just like back then... He had wanted to be with her, but he did not trust her when she needed help most.He had pushed her to Yi Jinli himself!Now, it was useless even if he held countless regrets in his heart.Ling Yiran said, "You have nothing to apologize for. I ju
