Chapter 1613

Author: Gu family's Little Bamboo
Ling Yiran stood at the school gate with the little boy until it was almost time to go to the kindergarten to pick up Lil Mo and Lil Jin. Ling Yiran said to the little boy, "Lil Ci, I have to go back now. I'll come and see you the next time I get a chance, okay?"

The little one ignored Ling Yiran as if he had not heard her.

Ling Yiran's eyes dimmed, and she somehow felt a pang in her heart. It felt as though she was being forced to give up on something she wanted to hold on to.

Then, she laughed at herself.

'What's wrong with me? He's just a little child I met once.’ Although she felt a little sorry for what had happened to the child, she should not feel hurt about his attitude toward her!

She calmed herself and then returned to Zhuo Qianyun's store.

"What's the matter? You seem to care a lot about that child," said Zhuo Qianyun. She saw Yiran accompanying that child the whole time.

"I met him when I was in the amusement park, and I feel a little sorry for him. But it seems his

    Ye Wenming sat in the car as he watched his son come back from school. He watched Zhuo Qianyun give Lil Yan a gentle smile. She had smiled at him like that once, but he had ruined everything himself!He was almost overwhelmed with regret at the thought of her gentleness and love for him back then.The more he loved her, the more painful it was!Ye Wenming just stayed in the car. Even when it was getting dark, he was still reluctant to leave. He wanted to stay here longer.It was not until the store's lights went out that he finally looked down.'Has another day gone by?' Every day that passed was now torture for him. It was the pain of not being able to get what he wanted. It had only been five years.How long would he live his life like this? Even his flesh and blood would not call him ‘Daddy’ anymore.With a wry smile, Ye Wenming prepared to start the car when he suddenly trembled.It was because he saw the figure he had been longing for walking out of the store and heading i

    Compared to Ye Wenming's flustered state, Zhuo Qianyun seemed much calmer. "I came to tell you not to come here again."Ye Wenming stiffened and instantly turned pale. "I'm just watching you from a distance. I won't disturb you. Is... Is that not okay?"Zhuo Qianyun said, "You don't have to do that. Ye Wenming, the best outcome for us is to never see each other. It should have been this way after the operation!"'Never see each other...' Those four words hurt him. Even breathing felt painful. "I know I made a lot of mistakes. I... I'm trying to make it up to you. I... I also know that some things can't be fixed, but Qianyun, I know it's my fault. I was wrong! All I ask is that you don't deny me the chance to see you!"Ye Wenming said in distress. This man, who was superior to others, was now begging in front of the woman he loved most.However, Zhuo Qianyun said calmly, "What's the point in doing that? What happened can't be changed. Nothing else is going to happen between us. Wha

    Every word she said was as painful as death by a thousand paper cuts. "Or if I have to find another man so you can stop showing up before me, then I’ll look for one," said Zhuo Qianyun.Ye Wenming could hardly stand still. 'Did she really just say that? Does she really...'"Do you hate me that much?" he murmured. His words seemed to come from the back of his throat."It’s not exactly hatred, but every time I see you, it brings back those old nightmares. Ye Wenming, do you know you're a nightmare to me? I just want to put all those bad things that have happened to me behind me,” she said.There was despair in his eyes, and the five fingers that had held her wrist tightly let go and fell to his side. He seemed to fill with a feeling of despair.'Nightmare...''It turns out that I'm just a nightmare to her. The sight of me only reminds her of those grievances!Looking at the indifference on Zhuo Qianyun's face, Ye Wenming suddenly had a premonition that he might never be able to

    His mouth felt bitter. He wanted to say something else but did not know what to say after opening his mouth. Maybe there was nothing left to say between them.No matter what he said, it would not be what she wanted to hear.Ye Wenming just watched Zhuo Qianyun turn around and step farther away from him until her figure disappeared into the store.Ye Wenming stood alone with endless sorrow on his handsome face....Ling Yiran had been back in Shen City for some time now. She had worked in a law firm with her mentor back when she was in L City. She was now in Shen City and had to work as well.The two kids attended after-school classes during weekends, so Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli took advantage of their two-hour-long class to shop in the shopping mall nearby. They would see if there was any suitable office space nearby."What's the matter? Do you want to start a law firm?" asked Yi Jinli."Yeah, I do have that in mind. I can start one if the rent is alright," said Ling Yiran. She

    Yi Jinli was so used to receiving attention from people around him that he did not mind it at all. He just lowered his head and asked Ling Yiran, "What flavor do you want? How about several servings of each flavor?""Oh, no, that’d be a waste," said Ling Yiran even though she knew it would not cost him much even if he bought the entire cake shop.However, she still did not want to be extravagant and waste money just because they were rich. "I'll go for dark chocolate. What about you?""I'm fine with anything." He had no particular preference for cakes.However, he was willing to eat with her if she wanted.Ling Yiran knew Yi Jinli did not have a sweet tooth, so she chose a blueberry cake for Yi Jinli.They got two slices of cake. She took a small spoon and took a bite of the dark chocolate cake. It tasted unique. Compared to the usual dark chocolate, it was a bit more creamy and rich in texture."It tastes pretty good. Do you want to try mine?" asked Ling Yiran. She took a spoon

    She said, "It's just common social etiquette. Besides, he's Lianyi's friend.""I know, but you couldn't take your eyes off him just now," he said."I... I was just curious. After all, he doesn't look like Lianyi's colleague. Besides, you're the one I love. I'm not interested in other men at all!" Ling Yiran explained quickly.He looked at her with a smile as if he had gotten her to say this.Ling Yiran blushed again.Yi Jinli leaned over slightly. Moving a little closer, he said, "Yiran, say it again." His husky voice was full of temptation.Ling Yiran's face became even redder. Even after so many years, she would still blush and her heart would still pound whenever she saw him behaving this way—just as she did at the beginning."You're the one I love," said Ling Yiran."Say it again." His voice grew hoarser, strumming her heartstrings."You're the one I love. You're the one I love..."She repeated it over and over again as he wished.On the other side, Yulai Bai, who was ch

    Bai Tingxin's figure suddenly flashed through Qin Lianyi's mind.She shook her head hard. 'What's wrong with me? Why am I thinking of Bai Tingxin when I’m supposed to get over him?!'When the two chose their cakes and returned to Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli's table, Qin Lianyi saw that her best friend was blushing slightly. Yi Jinli was feeding her cake one bite at a time.This public display of affection is...' However, Qin Lianyi was glad to see her best friend so happy now. Even if she could never have a perfect romance herself, it was good enough that Yiran could have a happy ending. During their chat, Qin Lianyi learned that her best friend planned to start a law firm in Shen City and immediately showed her support. "I'll be there to support you when you open for business."Ling Yiran smiled and replied, "Okay. Mr. Bai, you can come as well if you’re free.""Sure," answered Bai Yulai.During their conversation, Ling Yiran learned that Bai Yulai held a middle management positio

    Yi Jinli turned to his subordinates and said, "Those who failed to do their duty today will be punished later. Also, find out what's going on with these people.""Yes,” said the subordinate.Just then, one of the men subdued by Yi Jinli's men struggled to raise his head and shouted, "Ling Yiran, you damned lawyer! Don't think this is over just because you ran to Shen City. You and your mentor conspired to put me in prison for two and a half years, causing my wife and children to leave me. I want you to pay the price!"Only now did Ling Yiran recognize the middle-aged man who was screaming in front of her. He was the defendant in one of her cases, and she had been the plaintiff's lawyer.The plaintiff won the case, and the defendant was sentenced to two and a half years in prison."I did nothing wrong. You got what you deserved in this case.""It was you! You and your mentor used me as a stepping stone to make names for yourselves in the legal world. You're just a shameless—"Bef

    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!

    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
