This melodious voice was his favorite sound. He had been dreaming about it, but now it was telling him the cruelest things!Bai Tingxin's face instantly paled!"Are you sure... you don't love me anymore?" Even his voice became strained, and he spoke every word with difficulty.Qin Lianyi said, "If I still love you, I wouldn't be going on blind dates or trying to date again. I loved you wholeheartedly when we were still dating. But I want a clean breakup. I want to have nothing to do with you after breaking up!""A clean breakup?" He gave a bitter smile. She knew nothing yet told him she wanted a clean breakup. She had no idea what Gao Manlin did after she got injured, much less what he did for her..."What's wrong with that?" she asked."Is it because of Bai Yulai that you don't love me anymore?" he asked. However, before she could answer, he said firmly, "You don't love him. If you did, you wouldn't have reacted the way you did when I kissed you last time."Qin Lianyi's express
"So how can I make it even? Do you want me to sleep with you? Or do you want me to be in another imaginary relationship with you? You can have any woman you want. Why do you have to make it seem as if I'm the only one you want? That’s simply not true. You wouldn't have broken up with me if so," she said sarcastically."What am I to you?" he asked as he stared at her.She met his eyes. "A man I once loved but won't anymore. Because I can suffer some things once but not a second time. You're highly career-driven. You want success and power, but I just want to stay with my husband and children to live a calm, ordinary life."They grew up in different environments, so their relationship had been doomed to fail from the beginning!Bai Tingxin slowly got up when he heard that. One step, two steps... he slowly retreated.The moonlight shone on him through the window.His face was half-lit by the moonlight."You're right. I can have any woman I want, so why does it have to be you?" He l
He longed deeply for that woman.He could have any woman he wanted, but... she had no idea she was the only one he wanted!It was because she was the only one he loved. How could he want another woman when he was only capable of giving her all his affection?His dumping her back then had been a stop-gap measure. He did it without thinking of the future.It was because he had no idea whether he had one or whether he could reclaim the Bai family and bring down the Gao family.He was walking on eggshells at that time. He could not even promise her in secret.For five years, he had secretly kept an eye on her. He knew whatever was going on with her but dared not appear in front of her. All he could do was to endure it!However, he had now gotten all he wanted but she no longer had feelings for him!Bai Tingxin could not help laughing bitterly at himself at the thought of this.It was funny. He had done everything for her, but it was all for nothing. Perhaps the fact that she was s
Bai Tingxin's handsome face instantly distorted at the thought of it. Jealousy, pain, struggle, and conflict were all over his face.Bai Yulai was relieved when he walked out of the Qin family’s house. When he called Lianyi and learned that she had safely gotten home, he immediately hurried over to see her.Fortunately, the incident had died down. Lianyi's life should also be able to resume to normal now."Bai Yulai... you can just tell me if you think it's inappropriate for us to be in touch. It's okay."He thought of what Qin Lianyi had privately said to him in the Qin family’s house. A faint smile flickered in his eyes.He found the woman brutally honest sometimes.She was already 33 years old but still exuded a child-like innocence.Maybe that was why he had wanted to keep in touch with her after their blind date."We can continue talking to each other. You're also the victim in this incident.""Do you believe that Bai Tingxin and I did nothing in the hotel?""I do." That
However, Bai Yulai had never expected to become the object of Bai Tingxin's jealousy.Bai Yulai said, "Mr. Bai, if you still have feelings for Lianyi, then I'm not the one you should ask this. It's Lianyi. Even if I intend to be with Lianyi, it won't work if Lianyi doesn't choose me. Similarly, if you still have feelings for her but she doesn't choose you, you can't be with her either. It's all up to Lianyi."Bai Tingxin pressed her thin lips together tightly. "I'm only asking if you're going to be with her."Bai Yulai sighed. It seemed he could not leave if he did not provide him an answer. "Lianyi is a good woman. If we like each other, I naturally want to be with her.""If you can love her enough to do anything for her, then you deserve to be with her. Otherwise, you have no right!" Bai Tingxin spoke as if it was a warning."What's the matter? If I don't love Lianyi enough to do anything for her, are you going to stop me from being with her, Mr. Bai?" asked Bai Yulai.Bai Ting
Qin Lianyi's colleagues had suddenly taken her side, and even their tone when they spoke was faintly obsequious!Some colleagues began sounding out Qin Lianyi about her relationship with Bai Tingxin."Lianyi, have you gotten back together with Bai Tingxin?”"He looked so cool when he took you away from the reporters the other day. He looked just like Prince Charming who saved the princess in fairy tales.""Lianyi, are you going to be the president's wife?"Qin Lianyi knew the change in her colleagues' attitude was all because of Bai Tingxin.Society was so realistic sometimes! She had experienced it so much over the past five years that she could care less about it now."Mr. Bai and I have nothing to do with each other, so please stop making wild guesses. I'm seeing someone else. You'll cause me trouble by saying that," Qin Lianyi said coldly.The colleagues instantly looked awkward upon hearing what she said. They looked at each other and quickly dispersed. Qin Lianyi finall
"Watch out!" someone behind her shouted. Then, a strong force pushed Ling Yiran aside and she fell to the floor. At the same time, she felt a pair of hands protecting her.Then, she heard hurried footsteps. Her bodyguards and driver shouted, "Young Madam, Young Madam!"Ling Yiran came back to her senses and painfully got up with the help of her bodyguards. "I'm fine," she said and looked back at the man who was standing up. He was dusting himself with his head down.This man had just saved her."Are you okay, sir? Thank you so much..."However, she froze when he looked up halfway through her sentence.It was... Xiao Ziqi!He was Shen City's socialite, her ex-boyfriend, and the fiancé of the Hao family's second heiress, Hao Yimeng!However, Xiao Ziqi was a far cry from the person he was back then.He was wearing old gray clothes and a pair of dirty sneakers. His handsome face looked old now. There was even a hint of gray hair near his temples.She remembered Xiao Ziqi being 35
The security guard was instantly dumbfounded when he heard that. He had just noticed the broken flower pot and the soil on the ground.The security guard quickly loosened his grip, and Ling Yiran asked her bodyguard to check Xiao Ziqi's wrist.After examining it, the bodyguard said to Ling Yiran, "Young Madam, he has a broken wrist.""Take him to the hospital, then," said Ling Yiran."Okay," the bodyguard answered.Just then, Ling Yiran's phone rang suddenly. Her expression instantly changed when she answered it and heard what the person on the other end of the line told her. "Okay, got it. Thank you."After ending the call, Ling Yiran did not enter the building but went straight to the courthouse.The bodyguard took Xiao Ziqi to the hospital. After Ling Yiran came out of the courthouse, she received a call from the bodyguard saying that Xiao Ziqi had seen a doctor. The injury was not too serious, and he could recover in about a month."Okay, give him the compensation he deserv
