Qin Lianyi could not help but sigh. "You noticed it? I thought I was covering it up pretty well.""I could kind of tell that you had something on your mind," said Ling Yiran. Her best friend had sounded a little... too happy on the phone and during video calls in the last two days.Sometimes, the happier Lianyi seemed, the more she had on her mind."What's the matter? What's going on?" Ling Yiran asked with concern.Qin Lianyi stopped hiding and said, "I met Bai Tingxin.""You went to see him?" Ling Yiran was surprised. She also knew that Bai Tingxin had come to Shen City two days ago."He appeared in front of me. I don't know whether it was a coincidence, so I'm a little confused too.""Then you...""Don't worry. I know that it's impossible between us. I won't let myself get caught up in it," Qin Lianyi said. She got rid of the look of sadness on her face and said, "Oh, didn't you say you're going to a banquet with Yi Jinli in two days and you have no idea what to wear? There'
Compared to the previous sales assistant, the manager's attitude was much better."Get me a new sales assistant. Since this sales assistant doesn't want to serve me, then there's no need to force her," said Ling Yiran."I'm sorry you had a bad experience." The manager apologized and called for another staff member who looked young.Ling Yiran glanced at the name tag pinned to their chest. They were a junior sales assistant, probably someone who had just started working in the boutique.She smiled and briefly told them what she was looking for as well as the colors she liked. The rookie sales assistant started helping Ling Yiran look for suitable gowns.Qin Lianyi said, "That's it? That staff member earlier wasn’t even remotely professional."Ling Yiran said, "That person isn't even afraid of complaints. If she's not afraid, why bother? Don't worry, she'll be sorry in a minute."Qin Lianyi appeared to be thinking about something.Just then, the rookie sales assistant came over a
"This isn't a place for the likes of you," Su Wenting said arrogantly.Qin Lianyi said as if amused, "What's the matter? Are you superior to me? What you have now is just because your daughter became the adopted daughter of the Yi family. Before that, did you come from a better family, have a better education, better career, or better income than me?"Honestly speaking, Su Wenting was just an ordinary citizen before this. She was not any better than Qin Lianyi!Su Wenting's face looked extremely grim. She picked up the glass of water the sales assistant had poured for her and wanted to splash it on Qin Lianyi.Qin Lianyi was on her guard. As soon as she saw what Su Wenting was doing, she raised her hand and twisted Su Wenting's hand. Immediately, the glass of water in Su Wenting’s hand spilled all over herself.Su Wenting let out a shrill, drawing the attention of the boutique staff and other customers.The manager hurried over. When they saw what had happened, they quickly helpe
However, when Ling Yiran wore the gown, Su Wenting knew that even if she got her hands on it, she would not wear it to the banquet."What a coincidence, Miss Ling. I didn't expect you to be here," Su Wenting said with embarrassment."It's quite coincidental, indeed. I heard the noise when I was in the fitting room earlier. I didn't expect it to be you," said Ling Yiran. Then, she corrected, "Also, I think you should be calling me Mrs. Yi. Didn't Jin warn you about it last time?"Su Wenting ground her teeth. 'Jin... Jin... How intimately she was referring to him.' She had tried to call Young Master Yi ‘Jinli’ once but he unhappily warned her to call him Mr. Yi.It was as if she did not deserve to call him ‘Jinli’."Mrs. Yi..." Su Wenting laughed dryly and said, "It was only a misunderstanding earlier. Don't mind it.""How could it be a misunderstanding? This woman's friend splashed water all over you," the sales assistant who had been flattering Su Wenting said. She looked like sh
'Is this woman...'Immediately, the manager and the sales assistant who had tried to curry favor with Su Wenting went pale.Ling Yiran generously accepted the card and did not refuse it. Then, she said to the junior sales assistant who had been serving her. "I'll take this gown. Please wrap it up for me after I change out of it.""O-Okay..." she said excitedly. As a newcomer, she had hit the jackpot to get such a sale.Su Wenting was more embarrassed and wanted to pick up her bag to leave quietly, but Ling Yiran stopped her. "Miss Su, we're not done yet. Don't you want to look at the surveillance footage?""No... No thanks. I was the one who spilled water on myself by accident," Su Wenting said with a dry laugh."Miss Su, since you were the one who spilled water on yourself, aren't you going to apologize for making people misunderstand that my friend splashed water on you?" asked Ling Yiran.Su Wenting looked surprised and asked almost subconsciously, "Apologize?""What's the m
"Yes... Yes, I understand. I'm not going to spend money that isn’t befitting of my status." With that said, Su Wenting fled the boutique almost in fear.At night, Ling Yiran went back to the bedroom after putting the two little ones to sleep. She began to search for news regarding Bai Tingxin on her phone.Although her daughter's single bedroom was already furnished, Jin liked to sleep with Lil Mo these days.At night, she would lay on Yi Qianmo's bed and ask her brother to tell her a story when it was time to go to sleep. Ling Yiran did not know whether to laugh or cry at that.However, considering that the two children were still young and Ling Yiran wanted them to bond, she let them sleep together.Poor Yi Qianmo. A child who did not talk much was now being forced into becoming a chatterbox by his sister.His sister resented the lack of passion when he told her stories, so he would be forced to tell the same stories several times.Ling Yiran expected her son to grow impatient
There was a hint of laughter in Yi Jinli's dark eyes. He gently pulled her hand and said, "You're not allowed to be interested in other men. I'm the only man you can be interested in!"Ling Yiran was momentarily dazed. He was still as overbearing as before.Back then, he did not like her to be close to other men too. He would overbearingly tell her to only look at him and think of him... Come to think of it, it was sweet.Suddenly, there was a slight pain in Ling Yiran's earlobe. She suddenly came to her senses to find Yi Jinli nibbling her earlobe.She trembled and felt the blood rushing to her ears."Jin, stop it..." She trembled and unconsciously raised her hand to cover her ear.However, before her hand could touch her ear, his hand pinned it down. "I won’t..."He murmured, sounding as though he was tasting the most delicious food.Her face grew redder. "Well... Well, I bought a gown at the boutique today. I spent a lot of money on it. It... It doesn't matter, does it..."
He calmly said those cruel and vicious words as though they were small matters.Ling Yiran said, "No, you don't have to do all that. You just have to make her understand that you're mine. That's all. Don't give her any hope. If she has any other ideas and steps out of line, I'll deal with her myself."No matter what, she would not share her husband with another!Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly. "I'm yours?"Ling Yiran’s cheeks started blushing again but she did not avoid Yi Jinli's eyes. She said earnestly, "Yeah, you're mine. You're my husband."A touch of tenderness flickered through Yi Jinli's eyes, but he did not notice it himself.He was so used to being in control that he would have hated it if someone else had said it, but he felt pleased and satisfied when she said it. He did not know how to describe it."Are you so sure that I'm yours? Aren't you afraid of me falling in love with another woman?" he asked as his thin lips tugged into a smile.Ling Yiran bit her li
