"Wait..." Ling Yiran suddenly shivered. She looked at the man with even more confusion. How... how had he known that the bracelet was with her?She had found it in the pocket of her work uniform when she had gotten off work.However, this man had known that the bracelet was with her. Then, he had even found out where she lived and silently barged in...To be able to do such a thing, who on earth was this man?"You picked up this bracelet, what reward do you want? As long it isn't too excessive, I can give it to you." Gu Lichen lowered his head and looked down at the woman in front of him.He had planned to leave directly with the bracelet, but when he saw the woman's sleeping face, he had decided to remain in the house.He thought, maybe, he wanted to see what this woman looked like when she opened her eyes.Now, she had really awoken. She had a pair of extremely beautiful almond eyes, the deep and dark pupils clearly contrasting with the sclera. The eyelashes that curled upward
—Ling Yiran had heard Gu Lichen's name before.After all, the Gu family was in charge of all kinds of businesses within the entertainment industry. Some even said that in the entertainment industry, whoever Gu Lichen wanted to be successful would become successful. If Gu Lichen wanted to suppress someone, then they would never be able to be successful for the rest of their lives.From this, one could tell how influential Gu Lichen was in the entertainment industry.When she had been dating Xiao Ziqi, she had once heard Xiao Ziqi mention him. Although the Xiao family was also considered rich and powerful in the city, compared to the aristocratic Gu family, the Xiao family was lacking.Xiao Ziqi, of course, was not qualified to make friends with Gu Lichen.As for the other "hearsay", it had come from the mouths of those gossipy women in the Sanitation Service Center. It was said that Gu Lichen was indifferent and difficult to get along with, but he never was short of girlfriends.
After a few more days, the scar on her palm would fade away, just like the memory of what had happened between her and Yi Jinli. As time passed, it would disappear as if nothing had happened.Ling Yiran gently balled her hands into fists and walked out of the Sanitation Service Center.Before she could get very far, a silver-grey Porsche blocked her way. A slender figure got out of the car. It was the protagonist who had been being discussed by the girls in the Sanitation Service Center—Gu Lichen."Is there something wrong?" Ling Yiran asked."I want to treat you to a meal to thank you," Gu Lichen said. He directly opened the passenger seat door, clearly indicating that he wanted Ling Yiran to get into the car."I didn't do anything to help you with your bracelet, so you don't need to thank me," Ling Yiran said, raising her foot to try to get past him.However, just after she had taken a step, he suddenly raised his hand and blocked her way. His phoenix eyes were fixed on her, bu
As Ling Yiran ate the dishes, she still could not figure out exactly what Gu Lichen wanted to do. Did he really just want to thank her, so he was treating her to a meal?"Miss Ling used to be Xiao Ziqi's girlfriend?" Gu Lichen suddenly asked halfway through the meal.Ling Yiran's hand suddenly froze on the chopsticks. She lowered her head and said, "Yes." Indeed, people like him would have already investigated her thoroughly before having a meal with her."The reason you broke up with him was because of the car accident that year?" he continued to ask."So what if it was?" She lifted her head and asked back, "Mr. Gu, the person whom I knocked down and killed back then was Yi Jinli's fiancée. In Shen City, who would dare to associate with me?""I dare," he said.Ling Yiran was stunned. She looked at the person in front of him with a surprised expression, and her mind suddenly went blank."What do you think? Do you want to try being with me?" he asked.Hearing these words, not o
"Pah!"A crisp slapping sound rang out.Due to how abrupt it was, Ling Yiran had no time to react. It was not until she felt a burning sensation on her face that she realized what had happened."You must be that vamp!" the other party said hatefully. "I hadn't been expecting you to ask Lichen to bring you to a place like this for dinner. You're just a third-rate celebrity. Do you really think you'll be able to secure the position of being his girlfriend? Let me tell you, it won't be long before you're dumped by him!"Ling Yiran looked up. Surprisingly, she recognized who the person who had slapped her was!Zhong Rongrong had originally been a second-tier actress who often played some supporting roles. However, after getting together with Gu Lichen, she had become famous with his support.Some had previously wondered if Zhong Rongrong would be Gu Lichen's last girlfriend. After all, Zhong Rongrong had been the one to stand by Gu Lichen's side the longest.However, unexpectedly, Z
It was just this time, the one who was being beaten and the one carrying out the beating had been reversed.Zhong Rongrong covered her face with her hands and her expression was one of disbelief. "You... you hit me?""Since you can hit me, why can't I hit you back?" Ling Yiran retorted. Even if she had to take responsibility, Zhong Rongrong wouldn't end up any better."Who do you think you are? You're just a third-rate celebrity. What right do you have to hit me?" Zhong Rongrong was going crazy with anger.Although Ling Yiran was not the "celebrity" as she was called by the other party——"What about you? You're just a small-time celebrity yourself, and if it weren't for Gu Lichen, do you think you'd be what you are today? You ran over here in such a fluster today only because you broke up with Gu Lichen and you're afraid that you'll lose everything. Everything you have was built on this man's willingness to help you. Do you really think that you're a more noble person than me?"L
Back then, the gossip news had gone all-in when talking about how much Gu Lichen doted on Zhong Rongrong. If Zhong Rongrong had wanted to become the leading actress in a film, then she would get the role. If Zhong Rongrong hadn't liked the director for a film she was starring in, then he would replace the director. If Zhong Rongrong wanted her birthday banquet to be held at the most luxurious hotel in Shen City, he would reserve the entire hotel...With such attention and care from him, it was no wonder that everyone thought that Zhong Rongrong would marry into his powerful family.However, who would have thought that it would turn out like this in the blink of an eye?Even though Zhong Rongrong was begging him like this, there was no sign of pity on his face. No, it could be said that there was no emotion in his eyes at all.Whether it was towards Zhong Rongrong or her!Although it seemed that he was trying to help by teaching Zhong Rongrong a lesson, the way he looked at her was
"If it was her, she wouldn't have cried."He had suddenly blurted out such a sentence, and she didn't know how to react for a second.When her fear reached a certain level, she couldn't help but shout, "Who is it? Who is that woman?! Gu Lichen, the only person you love is 'her', right? But you'll never be able to get 'her'. If you don't care about other people's feelings, then sooner or later, 'she' will also stop caring about your feelings!"Gu Lichen suddenly stopped and turned around. He stared at Zhong Rongrong with his sharp eyes. At that moment, there was a bone-chilling frost in his usually cold eyes. He only gave her a glance before turning to leave.Zhong Rongrong suddenly fell to the ground.Gu Lichen's gaze earlier made it seem as though he wanted to kill her.She knew that she was completely doomed!Ling Yiran walked out of the restaurant. After feeling the cold wind on her skin, the burning sensation on her cheek eased up a little.Tonight had just been a farce.S
