Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli both froze when he uttered out that word.'How long have I not heard him call me ‘Sis’...' Ling Yiran stared blankly at the person in front of her. There was a time when he occasionally called her ‘Sis’ in private even when they were dating.To him, she was not only the one he loved but also his family.He said calling her ‘Sis’ made him feel less lonely.Ling Yiran lifted her other hand that he was not holding and gently touched the wet hair on his forehead. He slowly put her hand on his forehead. "Jin, I'm here. Lie down for a while. Everything will be alright once the doctor comes."He stared at her as if his headache could not compare to the shock in his heart.Why... did he just call her ‘Sis’? It felt so familiar to him as if he had called it a million times."You..." he uttered the word with difficulty as if he wanted to ask her something."Alright, stop talking for now. You're having a headache. You'll bite your tongue easily if you speak. When y
'Is this what it feels like to be held by your sister? The sister in front of me seems to be different from my other sister, Wanna. Every time she sees me, she just timidly stands there while looking at me with desperate eyes, wanting to please me. But she never once dared approach me.'But this sister... She holds my hand and hugs me like Mommy...'Yi Qianmo was unwilling to push his mother's arms away earlier. Now, he was also unwilling to push his sister’s arms away.Ling Yiran was happy to see the two children bonding. Although her son was rather indifferent, her daughter was more talkative and would take the initiative to approach people. Her son did not seem to reject her daughter, which was a good thing!Soon, Dr. Fang came. After seeing Ling Yiran and Yi Qianjin, surprise seemed to flash across Dr. Fang's eyes. However, he quickly crouched down and focused on examining Yi Jinli.Mr. Yi slowly opened his eyes. "I'm much better now. It doesn't hurt as much."Dr. Fang was su
"I'm your older sister. Look, Daddy called Mommy 'Sis' just now!" Yi Qianjin corrected him with a mumble.Ling Yiran was sweating profusely. Yi Jinli calling her ‘Sis’ had nothing to do with their birth order.While Ling Yiran was having a headache over who was the older sibling between the two kids, Dr. Fang was giving Yi Jinli a check-up in the other room.After determining the severity of Yi Jinli's previous headaches and the timing of the onset, Dr. Fang said, "It must have stimulated some parts of your past. As you said, it's because... your wife said something that reminded you of a similar conversation in the past."When he said this, Dr. Fang's heart was in a flutter.He had been dumbfounded for a while when Yi Jinli told him that the woman in the living room was his ‘dead’ wife.'Young Master Yi's wife isn't dead? I can imagine what turmoil Shen City will be in if the public learns about this news.'Young Master Yi's wife... will be the most respectable woman in Shen Ci
"Yes, it'll ease the trigger and make it harder for you to recover your memories," said Dr. Fang. He had also said the same thing when he first prescribed this medicine to Yi Jinli.However, to his surprise, the man gave a very different answer this time. "Then there's no need for a prescription.""Mr. Yi?" Dr. Fang was surprised. 'No prescription? Is he planning to... "Do you want to... recover your memories?""Yeah, I've forgotten them long enough. It's time I restore them," Yi Jinli said thoughtfully."But in that case, the pain may be too great for you. If anything happens, perhaps..." Dr. Fang paused before he continued saying, "After all, the human body has a certain capacity it can take. It's hard to predict what will happen once the limit is exceeded."Young Master Yi was different from ordinary patients who wanted to recover their memories. Ordinary patients rarely experienced such pain. If anything went wrong while he was trying to recover his memories, the consequences
Yi Qianjin said out loud, "I'll also be a good sister. I'll protect my brother as well!" This meant that she had accepted being the younger sister.Yi Qianmo's tiny body could not help trembling. 'My sister is... going to protect me too?' This was the first time he promised to protect someone and also the first time anyone had said they would protect him.'Is this what it's like to have a sister? It's so different from Wanna being my sister.'Uncle Kwan informed them that dinner was ready. Ling Yiran looked up at the second floor. "Is Jin not coming down for dinner?" Dr. Fang had left 15 minutes ago after telling them that Yi Jinli was okay. He only had a headache earlier because his memories were triggered."The maid asked him earlier. Young Master Yi said he has no appetite and will eat later. He asked Young Madam to have dinner with Little Young Master and Little Young Lady first," said Uncle Kwan.'Is it because of the headache he just had?' Ling Yiran thought to herself.The
"Jin, do you know how much I love you?" Ling Yiran could not help murmuring. She even had the urge to kiss him right now.His long eyelashes fluttered slightly and he slowly opened his eyes. Those deep and glittering peach blossom eyes immediately caught sight of Ling Yiran's face.Ling Yiran was stunned. For a moment, she felt as if she had been captivated by those eyes and was immersed in the glittering light in them."Then tell me how much you love me." His smooth voice rang in Ling Yiran's ears.She instantly paused and came back to her senses, "I..." 'How much do I love him?'She loved him, so she could let go of all sorts of resentment for him. He had stood by and watched her go to prison when he knew the truth about her case, but... she could not stop wanting to be with him.It was because she had never loved a man so much, nor had any man loved her this much.She had also heard from Secretary Gao that she fell into the ocean that year because she did not want him to di
She had selfishly traded their children's lives for his. Fortunately, their children were alive. Even though one child was still missing, she firmly believed that the child was alive!Yi Jinli's eyes twinkled. He never believed in women.His father was so convinced that his mother loved him that he lost his life.Therefore, he would not believe a woman because it meant that he might get betrayed. If he did not believe in a woman, he would never have to feel the pain of being betrayed."Then tell me what was the reason you left so we can know whether or not it’s as I thought,” said Yi Jinli."I..." Ling Yiran pressed her lips together and could only say, "I can't remember because of my memory loss."This was true. She only learned the truth about her departure today from Secretary Gao and Uncle Kwan.The sarcasm in his dark eyes grew stronger. "Really? Then tell me when you remember."She glared at him. He loved her. He almost lost his mind after she fell into the ocean! He migh
"Mhm..." A groan could not help escaping his mouth. The next moment, she took the opportunity to enter his mouth and deepen the kiss.'This woman is... doing it again...'However, his fingers seemed powerless to push her away, or... did he just not want to do so?When the kiss was over, Ling Yiran looked at the man underneath her with a red face.Those dark eyes were cold and confused. The contradiction showed in his eyes. His face was expressionless, but his lips looked somewhat wet because of the kiss just now. They were beautiful!Just looking at them made her want to kiss him again."Do you know how good-looking you are? And how attractive you are to women? What makes you think I'm not that in love with you and that I'm not swept off my feet by you? Or do you have no confidence in yourself?"She ran the tips of her fingers over his wet lips as she spoke."You..." He immediately grabbed her hand. She was teasing him with his actions.He felt something somewhat different wit
He clenched his jaw and felt his teeth ache. 'Yeah, she’s broken up with me. She has every right to find a new boyfriend, but... the thought of her smiling at another man, and kissing and hugging him makes me uncomfortable.’ Gu Lichen could not help feeling irritated."You can't find one! Do you think you can find another man like me to love when you love me so much?" he said.Zhong Keke retorted with a slightly red face, "You... You're too confident. Who are you to say I can't find one? I love you now, but I can slowly get over you. Besides, I don't need to find a man like you in the future. I just need to find an ordinary man with a good personality who treats me well! I’ll give him all my heart, and he’ll do the same!"It was more like she was telling herself that.'Yes, I can move on from him. I can do it!'However, her words seemed to have provoked him as he turned the steering wheel sharply, slammed on the brakes, and pulled over at the roadside.She was thrown forward and
The fact Zhong Keke accepted was that she feared she would love him more and more!When Yi Jinli and Gu Lichen returned to the ward, Ling Yiran was still chatting with Zhong Keke about the children, not only the new baby but also the triplets."Alright, Lichen and I are going home first. Yiran, have a good rest. I'll visit you and the baby again next time," Zhong Keke said and got up after seeing the exhaustion on Ling Yiran's face.Ling Yiran replied, "Okay. I'll let you meet my triplets next time.""Sure."After Zhong Keke and Gu Lichen left, Yi Jinli lay on Ling Yiran's bed and said, "If you're sleepy, sleep first. The doctor said you need more rest."Ling Yiran said, "I'm a little sleepy, but I had a nice chat with Keke today. Jin, you know what? I think it's great that Lichen has fallen in love with Keke. Keke's a wonderful woman, and Lichen has finally found his happily ever after."She said as she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.Looking at his wife's sleeping fac
"Thank you! It's a good painting, and I like it very much. I didn't expect you to draw my daughter like that.""I saw the baby when I came to the hospital that day, so I remembered," said Zhong Keke."I heard from Jin that you and Lichen both came to the hospital that day. I didn't scare you, did I?" said Ling Yiran.Zhong Keke smiled softly, "All that matters is that you're safe. Being alive is better than anything."The two women chatted while the two men looked at each other. Then, Yi Jinli said, "Lichen, let's go get some air."The two men got up and walked out of the ward.Zhong Keke looked uneasily at the ward door.Ling Yiran said, "They’ll be back soon. Don't worry. My Jin won't kidnap Lichen."Zhong Keke smiled, knowing that Yi Jinli probably had not told Ling Yiran about what happened that day."By the way, how are you and Lichen's relationship? Does he treat you well?" Ling Yiran asked."He treats me well." It was true. He treated her well. He would give her everyt
He and Song Qingyao were not even friends."You don't have to explain this to me," said Zhong Keke. They had broken up, and she did not need these explanations.Besides, she knew better than anyone that he had always been in love with Yiran.Thinking of Yiran, Zhong Keke said, "I want to go to the hospital to see Yiran. Can I?" The last time she visited Yiran, Yiran was still unconscious, so she wanted to check on her.Hesitation flashed across Gu Lichen's face."Don't worry. I won't say anything to trigger Yiran. I’ll still pretend to be your girlfriend in front of Yiran. If Yiran asks you, you can say we're doing quite well. When Yiran has recovered, I can make an excuse to say we've broken up. Of course, I can take all the blame. For example, I thought being with you attracted too much attention, or I couldn’t get used to being with you, or I had fallen for someone else—"Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly pulled into a wide embrace.His hands held her tightly
Zhou Xinmian: [I said you were living with Gu Lichen now. Then they said nothing and left readily.]"..."Zhou Xinmian: [Did you block their phone numbers? They said you're not answering your phone.]Zhong Keke: [Yeah.]She should have blocked her uncle's family's phone numbers long ago. Even blocking them now was considered late!Zhou Xinmian: [Well done! But didn’t they try calling you using another phone number?]Zhong Keke: [They did. But as soon as they spoke and I heard their voices, I hung up and blocked their phone numbers.]In other words, she did not give them a chance to talk.She did not want to listen to what they had to say anyway. They had worn out the last of her affection.Zhou Xinmian: [Have you made up your mind this time?]Zhong Keke: [I’ll just consider that my grandparents only gave birth to my father!]In other words, she no longer considered her uncle and his family her family!Zhou Xinmian: [You should have done that long ago! They told me Gu Lichen
It was why he had said such things at the time to keep the woman from leaving!"Maybe I've liked you since then." It probably started earlier than he thought.Zhong Keke's eyes watered as tears were about to pour out. She raised her hands and covered her eyes, "Gu Lichen, stop telling me such things!"Such things would only make her waver when her resolution was hard-won. Did he know how much determination and perseverance it took her to ask for a break-up and keep her distance from him to stop loving him when she loved him so much?Though her hands shielded her eyes, they could not stop the tears.His fingers pulled her hands away. "Alright, I'll stop. I'll stop talking. Don't cry."Her tears had always left him flustered.He hugged her and coaxed her. The indifference in his phoenix eyes had become affection.Zhong Keke finally stopped crying, but she still sniffled occasionally.Holding a tissue, Gu Lichen carefully wiped the tears from her face. After a moment, he said,
"Do you care about me?" She smiled bitterly. "That word isn’t only something you say but..." She did not continue speaking after a pause.However, he already knew what she was going to say.Gu Lichen turned pale. He knew that the incident at the comic fiesta was something that bothered her.He was the one who caused it!"Also, I think we'd better talk about the possibility of me getting pregnant!" she said."Okay, go ahead," he said as he asked the others in the living room to leave."Will you insist that I have the baby if I get pregnant?" she asked, looking at him."If you’re pregnant, I don't want to lose the baby," he said. He had never longed for children even though his parents had always wanted grandchildren, even if it was out of wedlock.However, such ideas had never occurred to him.Now, he wanted to have the baby because they would be... his baby with Keke!"Even if I don't want the baby, are you still going to stop me from having an abortion?" she asked.He was s
Even though he did not love her, she still thought she was a better candidate than Zhong Keke.However, to her disappointment, the way Gu Lichen looked at her was still icy."I'm not interested in you. The Song family you're so proud of will no longer exist in Shen City a year later. Perhaps the Song family can keep some things if you start planning now. Otherwise, you'll have nothing left."With that said, Gu Lichen left the ward, leaving Song Qingyao standing where she was in a daze.Other than reluctance, resentment, and jealousy, there was more shock and fear on her face.'Does Lichen intend to eradicate the Song family within a year? Is... Is he going that far for Zhong Keke? He doesn't love Zhong Keke, right? Why is he doing it? Why?' Unfortunately, no one could give her the answer.Gu Lichen walked out of the hospital and got into the car. He slowly closed his eyes as Song Qingyao's last words flashed through his mind.'It doesn't matter... even if I don't love her?'Kek
Song Qingyao's heart sank. Sure enough, he could find out anything he wanted to."Why did you do it?" Gu Lichen said coldly.Song Qingyao suddenly laughed. "You're asking me why? Gu Lichen, I’ve loved you for so many years. What do you think?""I wouldn't love you even if Zhong Keke didn't exist. If I wanted to fall for you, I would have done so from the beginning," said Gu Lichen.Song Qingyao's mouth was full of bitterness. She knew that!However, knowing was one thing. Her being reluctant and unwilling to accept it was a different matter!She shouted, "Why did you choose Zhong Keke? You love Ling Yiran because Ling Yiran saved your life when you were a child. What about Zhong Keke? Why her?"She accepted losing to Ling Yiran because she had never saved Lichen's life.However, how could she accept losing to Zhong Keke? "Because she's the one who saved me from the messy relationship," replied Gu Lichen."What do you mean?" Song Qingyao was puzzled.Instead of explaining, he
