He looked away a little uncomfortably and straightened up. "It's fine." With that said, Yi Jinli took his son's hand and headed outside.Ling Yiran was stunned. 'What does he mean by ‘it's fine’? Does that mean I can still do it? Is he... not against me touching his head?'Does that mean he has feelings for me too? Does he like me?'Maybe it would not be as hard as she thought to make him fall in love with her again...."Why are you here today?" asked Ye Chongwei as he smiled at Gu Lichen.Gu Lichen said, "I just happened to be free, so I came over to kill some time. Maybe I'll have to leave Shen City again in a few days.""Leaving again?" Ye Chongwei was stunned. "You've only been back a few days.""There's a new project overseas. Someone needs to take charge of it. I plan to go there," said Gu Lichen."Does your old man agree?""So what if he disagrees? I'll go if I want to."Ye Chongwei hesitated a little and said, "Lichen, do you refuse to stay in Shen City because of L
Every day in the past five years, he regretted missing out on his chance with her. He might have had a chance, but he pushed her to Jinli instead.If she had not been with Jinli, would she have fallen into the sea?When his car arrived at Yi Residence, he was stopped by the Yi family's security guards."I want to see Ling Yiran!" said Gu Lichen after getting out of the car.The guard recognized Gu Lichen. "Young Madam has gone out and hasn't come back yet. Mr. Gu, please make another appointment if you want to see Young Madam."Gu Lichen did not leave but waited at Yi Residence's entrance.If she did not come back, he would wait until she came back. Just waiting a few hours was nothing to him compared to the past five years.The Yi family's security guards did not know what to say. After all, he was the entertainment industry's crown prince and was not standing inside Yi Residence. They could not drive him away.Ling Yiran was holding her daughter's hand as they took the subway
After some time, Lil Yan came to his senses and realized that he was still holding onto Ling Yiran. His child-like face was flushed. He was shy and somewhat at a loss.Ling Yiran could not help smiling. Lil Yan was still the same.As Yi Qianmo was in kindergarten, Ling Yiran only brought Yi Qianjin over today. The two children got along well with each other.The only near crisis that happened was that Yi Qianjin had spotted the hearing aid in Lil Yan's ear. Out of curiosity, she reached out to pull on the hearing aid. It almost fell into a cup of water.Ling Yiran quickly explained the hearing aid to her daughter and warned her not to randomly take it off Lil Yan’s ear.Yi Qianjin blinked as if she did not understand. "Brother Yan, you can't hear without wearing this?""Yeah, I can't hear, so I have to wear it," replied Zhuo Yan as he put his hearing aid back on.Now that he was older, he was more aware of some of the world's discrimination against the disabled.Even though he
Ye Wenming probably knew he had to pay such a price, but he still reversed the case for Sis Zhuo anyway.Ling Yiran said, "Ye Wenming's really atoning for his sins. Has he come to see you these years?""Yes, but he knows I don't want to see him so he won't show up in front of me most of the time," said Zhuo Qianyun. Then, she said in the direction of her son who was playing with Lil Jin," The Ye family has come for Lil Yan many times, hoping that Lil Yan will acknowledge his paternal family.""Did you reject them?" asked Ling Yiran. After all, Lil Yan still had the surname Zhuo and not Ye.Zhuo Qianyun said, "It was Lil Yan who didn't want to do it. Ye Wenming previously said some things to Lil Yan that he shouldn't have said. He thought the kid wouldn't care and he could coax Lil Yan afterward, but... once some damage is done, even a child won't forget it easily.""Will you forgive Ye Wenming?" asked Ling Yiran. She had specifically sought out Ye Wenming's news and knew that in t
She had also heard from Lianyi that Gu Lichen was devastated for a while after she ‘died’. At that time, it was often reported that he would get awfully drunk and... kneel at her grave and cry.Afterward, he left Shen City, rarely returning over the years.As if sensing her gaze, Gu Lichen turned his head and looked at her. He shuddered, his phoenix eyes continuing to stare straight at her just like that.The figure he had only seen in his dreams or when he was drunk for the past few years finally appeared before him!Gu Lichen could hardly stand still at that moment. 'It's her! She's indeed... alive. She's alive just like what Chongwei said!'"Yiran..." Her name escaped Gu Lichen's mouth almost hoarsely. The next moment, he rushed toward her.The more he loved her, the more emotional he felt right now!Just as he ran over to her, he suddenly heard a young voice ask, "Mommy, who is this uncle?"The voice instantly brought him back to his senses. He realized that there was a
'Also, I don't even know this uncle. Why would he be happy to see me?'Gu Lichen gently touched the little one's head. Then, he straightened up again. Those dark phoenix eyes gazed intently at Ling Yiran. "You're still alive, but why haven't I heard from you in these five years? Do you know how devastating it was when I thought you were dead and saw the Yi family give you a funeral?"He had even gone to the ocean she fell into, thinking of jumping in to be with her!Ling Yiran said, "I'm sorry I made you worry."Gu Lichen's Adam's apple bobbed. His eyes that were looking at Ling Yiran were now red. "It's good that you're alive. It's good that you're alive..."As he spoke, he unconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch her to make sure that she was alive and she was not just an illusion.However, before his hand touched her, she already backed away slightly.His expression changed a little. He saw the rejection in her eyes and instantly only tasted the bitterness in his mouth
His gaze made Ling Yiran feel a pang in her heart. ‘Has he misunderstood something?'"Why trap Yiran if you don't love her?" Gu Lichen faced Yi Jinli. "Or are you trying to deny ever having said you don’t love her?”Yi Jinli pressed his thin lips tightly as he stared at Gu Lichen.The two men confronted each other.Ling Yiran tried to pull her arm out of Gu Lichen's hand, but Gu Lichen's fingers were so tightly wrapped around her that she could not do so.Yi Qianjin, who was standing beside Ling Yiran, was visibly scared. Her small hand held Ling Yiran's other hand tightly while her small face grew pale.Suddenly, Yi Jinli's thin lips curved as he sneered, "So what if I said that?"As he spoke, he walked up to Gu Lichen, grabbed the man’s hand, and said, "Even if I don't love her, Ling Yiran is still my wife. She can't go anywhere as long as I don't let her!""Even you can't stop her if she wants to go!" said Gu Lichen. It was because he would do anything to help her leave.Sh
The next moment, he opened his mouth and said to Gu Lichen, "The one she loves now is me. So what if you met her earlier than me? Even if I don't love her, she'll only have me in her heart."Yi Jinli's hand instantly grabbed Ling Yiran's jaw as he spoke.Ling Yiran was stunned. Before she could figure out what he wanted to do, she saw his face quickly approaching hers. Then, his warm lips were pressed against her lips.Ling Yiran stared blankly at the face in front of her. He... was kissing her. Besides, it was in front of Gu Lichen. There were even security guards and the driver around them...She felt a little uncomfortable doing this in public, but she did not want to push him away or reject the kiss. No matter the reason he was kissing her, it was the first time he was doing so after five years.Ling Yiran could not help but close her eyes and indulged in the kiss.'Jin, Jin! Does he know how much I love him? Does he know how it hurt my heart when he said he doesn’t love me?'
