Yi Jinli almost ran out of the consulting room in a panic. He ordered Ling Yiran's bodyguard, Huang Qian, and the replacement doctor to return to the consulting room. The doctor who was supposed to diagnose Ling Yiran had been knocked out by Gu Lichen's men."Young Master Yi, are you okay?" asked Gao Congming. After all, Young Master Yi looked pale at the moment."I'm... fine." Yi Jinli gasped almost with difficulty. He did not expect that he was still afraid. He was afraid she would say she regretted it. Even if she had not thought of getting a divorce, he was afraid she would think of it someday. He was afraid that she did not love him enough...He was afraid of so many things!"Have you found Secretary Wang?" Yi Jinli raised his hand to wipe the thin layer of sweat on his forehead and asked Gao Congming."Not yet," said Gao Congming. Since Old Master Yi's funeral, Secretary Wang, who previously worked for Old Master Yi, had gone missing. Even though they had sent extra people t
"Young Master Yi is just trying to better protect you, Young Madam," said Gao Congming."Is he protecting me or monitoring me?" asked Ling Yiran.Gao Congming instantly fell silent. After all, Young Master Yi had given orders not to tell Ling Yiran about Secretary Wang lest she got worried, especially now that she was about to give birth.Ling Yiran did not go on either. She just lowered her head, her eyes resting on her bulging belly.Once she got to the hospital, Ling Yiran met Qin Lianyi.Qin Lianyi seemed to be in good spirits in the ward. She could now take care of herself. Once she was discharged and took a little more rest, she could live her life like before.Qin Lianyi greeted Ling Yiran. "Yiran, you came! Come, come. Quickly sit down. You're a pregnant woman, and this is an important period."After Ling Yiran sat down, she asked, "How are you? Did the doctor say when you can be discharged?""I can be discharged next week." Qin Lianyi grinned and touched her bald head.
Ling Yiran got up and gently embraced Qin Lianyi. "I'm sorry for upsetting you!""What are you talking about? I just want you to be okay and not be affected by the pain of the past. After all, you need to keep moving forward, don't you?" said Qin Lianyi as she sniffled and forced a smile at Ling Yiran.However, Ling Yiran's nose turned sore when she saw her best friend's smile.Lianyi was still suffering from her heartbreak but chose to bury the pain and face others with an optimistic smile."I'll be okay. You don't have to worry about me. You're the one who needs to be okay. Hurry and get well. You'll have to play with my kids when they're born," said Ling Yiran."We're all going to be okay." Qin Lianyi hugged her best friend back and once again said to herself, 'I'll get over Bai Tingxin. I definitely will.‘I’ll just treat my relationship with Bai Tingxin as another one of my memories.'From now on, they're just memories!'...The weather was getting colder and colder. It w
'Yiran wants to have dinner with me on Chinese New Year's Eve. That means she won't leave me, right?'Knock, knock! Suddenly there was a knock on the door."Come in," said Yi Jinli.Gao Congming walked in and said to Yi Jinli, "Young Master Yi, Hao Yimeng has escaped!"Yi Jinli's expression changed instantly, and his black eyes stared at Gao Congming. "What happened?""According to the police, Hao Yimeng escaped at around three in the morning. The detention center's surveillance system was hacked, so it didn’t capture anything at that time. We don't know who helped Hao Yimeng escape," said Gao Congming.Yi Jinli was silent. 'Is it the Hao family? Or the Xiao family? Or a crazy but competent fan of Hao Yimeng’s? Or…’"Keep an eye on the Hao family and the Xiao family. See what they're up to. Also, keep looking for Secretary Wang. Whatever it takes, find him as soon as possible!" said Yi Jinli.He could not rest easy until he found Secretary Wang. He kept feeling as if something
"How long has she been asleep?" Yi Jinli asked the caregiver nearby."An hour or so," the caregiver replied.Yi Jinli bent down, raised his hand, and gently touched Ling Yiran's cheek.It was only at a time like this when he could touch her. Or else, she would throw up again when she was awake because of her body's resistance to him.The caregiver's eyes could not help but flash with shock.She was assigned to take care of Mrs. Yi but had never seen Young Master Yi before this. She had always thought that Mrs. Yi probably only got to join the Yi family because she was pregnant and Young Master Yi did not care about Young Madam at all.However, the situation now made the caregiver a little dumbfounded.Young Master Yi looked like he cared a lot about Young Madam! He was so careful in touching her as if he was touching a rare treasure.Suddenly, Ling Yiran's eyelashes fluttered a little. She opened her eyes in a daze. When she caught sight of Yi Jinli's face, she murmured, "Jin..
The moment she said so, his eyes seemed to sparkle like bright stars. They were shimmering, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corners of his lips."You thought of me... You thought of me..." he muttered as if he was excited. There were tears in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.She looked at his excited face and momentarily fell into a trance. 'Could a word from me make him behave like this?'I know he loves me, and there’s no doubt about it.'And I love him too. Don't I?'"Let's eat first. The food is going to get cold if we don't," said Ling Yiran."Okay, let's eat first. It's our first time spending Chinese New Year together. You'll have New Year's Eve dinner with me every year after this as well, right?" he asked, looking nervous and hopeful.She knew what he wanted to hear, and she did not want to see him disappointed."Yes, we'll have New Year's Eve dinner together every year onward," she said.It was a promise, but it also fulfilled his expectations and desire.The
"Since we can't change what has happened in the past, then... I want to let it go and not dwell on it. Just like what Lianyi said to me, we have to keep moving forward." Ling Yiran took a deep breath, letting go of her struggles and doubts little by little. She finally said what she had been thinking about for so long these days..."Jin, I'm willing to forgive you, and I won't leave you. I didn't forget what I told you. I won't abandon you as long as you don't leave me."Yes, this was her decision.When she said this, her body seemed to tremble with some pain. It was as if all the pain was passing through her body, but... she was also relieved at the same time.Maybe... by letting this go, she could be happy and spend her life with the one she loved.If she really let go of him, she knew she would regret it in the future!Yi Jinli's lips trembled. "Are you really willing to forgive me and not leave me?""Yes, I won't leave you," she replied.His mother left him, his father left
However, the only difference was that they were not sleeping in the same bed.When she was about to go to bed that night, he said, "I'll just sleep on the couch beside you. If I sleep on the bed, I'm afraid I'll touch you when I'm asleep." He was afraid that his touch might trigger another bad reaction from her.Therefore, when Ling Yiran woke up the next day, she only saw Yi Jinli lying on the couch with his eyes closed, still asleep.She gently lifted the covers off herself and walked over to the couch.In the past, he would always be awake when she woke up and rarely overslept. However, it was already past nine but he was still asleep.Ling Yiran looked at Yi Jinli quietly, only feeling that he seemed thinner than before. He looked haggard even in his sleep.Besides, there were some faint dark circles under his eyes. 'Has he not been sleeping well these days?'Yi Jinli's brows suddenly wrinkled up. Then, his calm sleeping face seemed to become restless as a thin layer of sw
