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
Yi Jinli raised his hand and turned off the faucet. He put on his bathrobe, walked to the mirror in front of the sink, and looked at himself in the mirror.His wet hair clung to his cheeks, and the water was still dripping.The water droplets on his face looked like tears."Grandpa, the day you spoke of will never come. I'm not going to kill myself, and Yiran's not leaving me. She and I are going to have a happy ending!"His deep voice carried firm determination!...For the next few days, Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli stayed in the mansion.When Ling Yiran was free during the day, she would video call Qin Lianyi, Zhuo Qianyun, and Lil Yan. When Qin Lianyi and Zhuo Qianyun found out Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli had reconciled, they both gave her their blessings.Zhuo Qianyun had no idea what happened, but Qin Lianyi did.Qin Lianyi privately asked Ling Yiran, "Are you really over it?" After all, she was involved in the case from the beginning to the end. She knew how much her best friend
"If you believe me, remove those people and just let Huang Qian follow me to protect me like before. You don’t have to get so many people to follow me every time I go out.” It made her feel like she was being monitored by a lot of people."No." He rejected her immediately."Why?" she asked."In any case, you need to have a lot of people around you to protect you,” Yi Jinli said in a deep voice. He did not want to tell her about Secretary Wang or Hao Yimeng's escape.After all, some of it was just his speculation. He was still unsure whether it was true. She was due to have a cesarean section in a week, and he was afraid it would be bad for her health if she got worried.A sudden feeling of disappointment struck Ling Yiran's heart. He kept saying he believed her, but... he still did not believe her."Yi Jinli, is there so little trust between us? What do I have to do for you to believe that I won't leave you?" she asked, unconsciously raising her voice.He stared at her. Those ey
