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
She was utterly stiff, and her every movement made her seem like a robot. However, she kept trying.Standing on her tiptoes, she looked at the handsome face right in front of her.They were so close that she could see his eyelashes. She could even see herself in his black pupils.'I just need to get a little closer and I can kiss him!'That way, he'll believe me!'He'll believe that I've forgiven him and I won't leave him! Does Jin know I love him and don’t want to miss this chance of being together with him?'He was the man who loved her the most, and no one would love her as much as he did.The truth of that incident was indeed very painful to her that she had even hated him for a moment, but he had suffered too.When she thought about it, she remembered how he had asked her several times before when they were together to forgive him if he did something wrong.Had he been dreading the day she would find out about the truth?If only actions would prove it, then she would pro
...Yi Jinli walked out of the room. The hands hanging by his sides were slightly clenched.When she took hold of his arm, wrapped her arms around his neck, and was about to kiss him, did she know how nervous and expectant he was?However... it was just another disappointment in the end.Even though she was willing to convince him in that way, her body's reaction was not fooling anyone. Her body was still resisting him, so she had not really forgiven him.However, at least she was willing to lie to him and comfort him in such a way. He should be content.He and she... had the rest of their lives. Once the danger at hand was settled and once their children were born, he would have plenty of time to make her accept him again!Yi Jinli gave some orders to the caregiver and bodyguards outside. Just then, Gao Congming hurried over. "Young Master Yi, I have something."Yi Jinli's eyes shimmered slightly, and he waved his hand to the caregiver nearby. The caregiver hurried into the ro
Yi Jinli narrowed his dark eyes and stared at Secretary Wang. "Is that so? You didn't know she escaped?""No, I didn’t," Secretary Wang insisted and said."Okay. You told my men that you wouldn't say anything until you saw me, so why don’t you tell me right now what you wanted to say?” said Yi Jinli."Old Master Yi said if Ling Yiran found out the truth after his death but chose to stay with you, then he'd like to make a bet with you.""A bet?" Yi Jinli was stunned for a moment.Secretary Wang said, "Yes, a bet! Young Master, Old Master Yi wants to bet whether you're willing to give up your life for a woman just like your father previously did."Yi Jinli's expression sank immediately. "What does this mean?" After all, the old master was no longer around. Besides, how was he going to bet on such a thing?Secretary Wang tugged the corners of his lips, smiling without saying a word. However, it was a bit creepy when he showed such a smile on his battered and swollen face."Tell me
Secretary Wang spoke as if he was not concerned, "I worked for Old Master Yi when I was penniless, and he saved my life. Now that the old master is gone, of course, I'll do whatever he told me to do. Young Master, I've already told you what I should. I won't tell you what I shouldn't. You'll find out when the time comes."Yi Jinli pressed his thin lips tightly. He knew Secretary Wang well. Among the people around the old master, Secretary Wang was the most loyal to him.'What did the old master... tell him to do?'A bet?'Grandpa's dead now, yet he still wanted to bet whether I'd give up my life for a woman? How is Grandpa going to bet me on this? Whatever the bet, the woman involved... is Yiran!'Yiran?' Yi Jinli suddenly shuddered as he thought of something. Suddenly, he took out his phone and dialed Ling Yiran's phone number.However, there was no answer from the other end of the line.Yi Jinli's face immediately turned grim. Gao Congming also seemed to realize something and
A frightened and stammering voice sounded from the other end of the line. "We... went to Young Madam's room. Huang Qian and the caregiver had passed out in the room, and Young Madam was nowhere to be seen. There's no surveillance camera... in the bedroom, but the surveillance cameras outside show that Young Madam never left the bedroom. Also, there was a lingering smell of knockout drops... in the bedroom.""Find her! Find Young Madam even if you have to turn the whole house upside down!" said Yi Jinli as he threw the phone back to Gao Congming. He stared at Secretary Wang as if he were about to kill him. He used a hand to grab the older man by the hair as he pushed him against the wall."Speak, what have you done with Yiran? I'll kill you if anything happens to her!" With a thump, Secretary Wang's head hit the wall hard.However, Secretary Wang laughed. "Young Master, I won't tell you even if you kill me. You'll know when the time comes!""Speak!" Yi Jinli aggressively slammed Sec
Yi Jinli clenched his teeth.Old Master Yi was the one who raised him, so he naturally knew him best. The old master knew he was suspicious by nature and would be uneasy whenever Yiran was involved. Therefore, he ordered Secretary Wang to disappear for some time before appearing again.This way, Yi Jinli would want to see Secretary Wang in person as he would only feel at ease after personally questioning him! 'Even when Grandpa’s dead, he still wants to do this to me?'How is Grandpa going to bet whether I'll give up my life for a woman?'Nothing must happen to... Yiran!'...When Ling Yiran woke up, she was in a car with one hand firmly bound to the steering wheel while the other was bound to the handbrake.The car was parked on the cliff. The back of it was hanging off the cliff, leaving only the front on land. Things looked extremely dangerous. The entire car might just fall off the cliff with the slightest movement inside the car or an external force. The sea was right b
