All of a sudden, he sneered. "Because you have someone else now. Is it Bai Yulai?"When he uttered the name, Qin Lianyi's expression changed immediately. She had only mentioned Bai Yulai's first name during the phone call earlier, not his last name.However, Bai Tingxin knew his full name.Which also meant... "You looked into him?""So what if I did? What about you? How much do you love him? Is it like what you used to feel for me?" he asked with restrained struggle and jealousy in his tone."It's none of your business," said Qin Lianyi.His face seemed to darken under the light of the lamp above them. "You're my ex-girlfriend, after all. Can't I be concerned about you?""You just said I'm your ex-girlfriend. Mr. Bai, if you want to be concerned about someone, why don't you pay more attention to your current girlfriend?" said Qin Lianyi.Bai Tingxin was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Have you ever hated me?"She was stunned for a moment. She stared at him in bewilde
"Now, you have the Bai family and are living the life you wanted, which also proves that you made the right choice.""My life isn't hard. I have friends and family who love me. They were there for me when I was in pain, and now my life has gone back to normal. In the future, I'll get married, have children, and have a normal but happy life."So I don't hate you. I just want to get over you. Maybe when we're old and surrounded by children and grandchildren, we can smile at each other if we ever meet on the streets. Wouldn't that be nice?"She whispered. Her tone was calm as if she were merely telling a story, but his heart ached.Her lack of hatred only deepened his pain!He had always felt that meeting her and falling in love with her was the best thing that ever happened to him. She was so nice that she was even considerate of him after their breakup.If he had stopped her from leaving Shen City and not been overconfident, or perhaps if he had been better prepared… would they no
Sometime later, the bathroom door opened. Qin Lianyi had changed into the clothes Bai Tingxin gave her and walked out of the bathroom. She said to Bai Tingxin, "Show me your QR code, I'll transfer you the money.""I already told you, there's no need for that," he said."I also told you we have nothing to do with each other now, so it's better not to owe each other money." Qin Lianyi insisted.The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be something depressing in the air.Qin Lianyi bit her lip slightly. "Bai Tingxin, now that we’ve broken up, I... don't want to owe you anything, so don't let me owe you anything, okay?"His body trembled a little, but he finally took out his phone and showed her his QR code.Qin Lianyi scanned his QR code and keyed in the number.After all, when he gave her the clothes, the price tags were still attached, so she knew the prices. Qin Lianyi could not help but feel a burst of pain at the thought of it. The outfit she was wearing cost two mont
However, when he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Gao Manlin sitting on the couch with a meaningful smile on her lips. "It seems you still can't get over your sweetheart. You saved her today, but it's a pity you can't be with her no matter how reluctant you are.""I just happened to be passing by and helped her out. Now that I've decided to marry you, don't worry about it," Bai Tingxin said lightly."That would be best." Gao Manlin got up and walked over to Bai Tingxin. "You should know how much I've done for you. I helped you regain control of the Bai family and persuaded my parents to let you keep your position as president after we marry and merge our companies. Qin Lianyi can never do what I've done for you. She can never have your back or help you with anything."She was the only one who could help him.Gao Manlin put her arm around Bai Tingxin's neck as she spoke.Bai Tingxin's body stiffened slightly, and his eyes glimmered a little. However, he did not push her away this
"Is it Lawyer Kang Xiangwei?" asked Yi Jinli."Do you know about him?" Ling Yiran was slightly stunned. Then, she realized that he must have looked into her history in L City when she got back to Shen City. She nodded and said, "Yes, that was also the first time I met my mentor. I won that lawsuit, and my mentor lost, but he wasn’t mad. Instead, he took me in as an apprentice."That lawsuit was a rare failure for her mentor, but Ling Yiran still felt warm when she thought of what he had said to her at that time."Regardless of failure, the most important thing is the pursuit of the truth. Although we lawyers should be representing our clients, we shouldn't be ignorant and not pursue the truth."Her mentor was a righteous lawyer who was also highly respected in the legal world. He was someone Ling Yiran admired."The person today is Jin Yaochang. He used to be a government staff, but he lost his job because he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison. It seems that his famil
Speaking of which, Ling Yiran sighed. "If only my mentor had been my lawyer that year..." Then maybe she would not have spent three years in jail.She was only being emotional, but Yi Jinli's heart suddenly violently contracted upon hearing it.She had forgiven him after learning the truth of the case back then but her body had still resisted him and even hated him!"I'm sorry," he murmured.Ling Yiran was shocked and immediately realized what he meant by his apology.She thought for a moment and said, "Jin, I already forgave you for the case even though I was really sad when I found out the truth. I was heartbroken, upset, and didn't know who I could trust."After a pause, she slowly raised her hands and held his face. His skin was slightly cool, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were staring at her right now. There was pain and regret in those eyes, just like back then.Her heart could not help wrenching again with a tinge of pain.Ling Yiran said, "But I know you also reg
He was her Jin. She would treat him as gently as she could!Ling Yiran kissed Yi Jinli just like this. She was slightly gasping when the kiss was over. "Do you get it now?"He looked at her intently, and his thin lips parted. "Yiran, can you love me a little more?"What he said was like a spell, suddenly giving Ling Yiran the desire to want him... She wanted the man in front of her so badly.She pushed him down on the bed and undid his bathrobe.He lay down obediently, his dark eyes staring at her as if he could not get enough of her."Jin, smile. I like to see you smile," muttered Ling Yiran."Okay," he responded gently. A smile appeared on the corners of his lips. It was so beautiful and charming.He would give her anything she wanted—his body, his smile, and even his soul. He was afraid that one day, she would stop wanting him and what he gave was no longer good enough.Ling Yiran almost drowned herself in Yi Jinli's smile.She leaned over and kissed his face, his nape, hi
"What's the matter? Do you think going into a hotel means doing something dirty? Sure enough, people with dirty minds always think dirty things about other people," Qin Lianyi snapped back.Zhao Ruyou's expression changed. "Qin Lianyi, are you scolding me? How dare you scold others when you did such a shameful thing yourself?""Do I have to be timid when people want to hurl dirt at me?" Qin Lianyi asked coldly."If nothing's going on between you and Bai Tingxin, why did you get a hotel room? Why did you stay in the room for so long? You even changed your clothes before leaving! You became a homewrecker but won't admit it!" said Zhao Ruyou.Due to the disturbance she caused, many colleagues had gathered around. Although they said nothing, some of their eyes were full of disapproval of Qin Lianyi."Because my clothes were dirty. Even the blind could see I was covered in filth in the photo of me walking into the hotel. Is there a problem with me going in to get changed? Besides, Bai
