His cold voice murmured. He wanted more of her. He wanted her to get rid of the fear that remained in his heart.Even though she was alive and well before him, did she know how scared he was earlier? The scene of her nearly falling from the building kept recurring to him!Fortunately, he had caught her!Fortunately, he pulled her back into his arms!Furthermore, she was safe!"Yiran..." he uttered hoarsely. It was as though her name had branded into his bones. It was a name forever engraved in his memory...He swept her damp bangs aside with his fingers and kissed her forehead. "No one can hurt you nor kill you. I won't allow it."He carried her lovingly into the bathroom as he spoke.He washed her body gently. She was still asleep, and her pretty face seemed so delicate under the bathroom's soft lights."Yiran, I'm yours too," he mumbled as he gently dried her body and carried her back to bed.She slept soundly, but he was not yet sleepy.From time to time, the scene of her

When she opened her eyes, there was still panic in them. Upon seeing Yi Jinli's face in front of her, for a moment, she felt as if a lifetime had passed."Jin... Jin..." There was a quiver in her voice.He said, "It's me. I'm sorry I hurt you."She looked at him blankly. Perhaps today's events had caused her to dream of her falling into the sea. It was at this moment that she realized it was just a dream. Five years had passed since she fell into the sea, but she still found it surreal.'Am I really back? Have I really come back to his side?'She shuddered as she reached out her hand, trying to touch his face. However, she stopped in mid-air and was afraid to touch him. It was as if she was scared that everything was just an illusion.Yi Jinli's eyelashes quivered a little. He raised his hand and grabbed Ling Yiran's hand, pressing her palm against his cheek. "What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?"She drew a long breath, and a wry smile appeared on her lips. "Yes, I had... a

She was really pleased with how Su Wenting and Jin Yaochang ended up."By the way, did Yi Jinli have an expert find that recording?" asked Qin Lianyi."No, Lil Mo found it," said Ling Yiran."Lil Mo?" Qin Lianyi widened her eyes in surprise. "Are children nowadays so skilled?"Zhuo Qianyun was also a little surprised, but because her son was intelligent and precocious as well, she was not as surprised as Qin Lianyi."Yeah, he seems to be good with computers," said Ling Yiran.The three of them sat and chatted at the entrance of Zhuo Qianyun's store. Just then, out of the corners of her eyes, Ling Yiran caught a small figure walking toward the gate of the primary school nearby.Ling Yiran found the figure familiar. It was the little boy named Lil Ci. After all, the boy had impressed her deeply.However, to her surprise, the child was limping."Huh? Why are there no adults accompanying such a young child?" Qin Lianyi could not help asking in confusion after seeing the child.Zh

The little one's skin was bruised, and his beautiful face was also slightly swollen. Ling Yiran could imagine how much more swollen his injuries were a few days ago."Does it hurt?" Ling Yiran crouched down and looked straight at the child in front of her.Although Lil Ci's face was still swollen, his beautiful eyes were staring at the school gate in front of him as though he had not heard Ling Yiran's question.All he cared about was when his sister would be out of school and when he could see her. He did not care about the rest.Ling Yiran raised her hand to touch one of his bruises, but the little one warily avoided her hand."I only want to check your bruises. I mean no harm!" Ling Yiran said quickly.The little one stared at her for a moment before slowly saying, "I don't like you touching me!""Then... Shall I take you to the hospital and let the doctor take a look at your bruises? It'll stop hurting after the doctor treats you," she said."I'm not in pain," the little on

Although she was only seven years old, she was noticeably more precocious than other children. There was wariness and vigilance in her eyes when she looked at Ling Yiran.She knew more about self-protection because of what she had faced in life and was not ignorant like regular children her age."Because my child is about Lil Ci's age. I can't help wanting to help Lil Ci when I see that he’s hurt. Plus, it's not a difficult task to bring Lil Ci to a doctor," said Ling Yiran. She spoke flatly, showing that she had no other intention.The little girl was momentarily silent before turning around to look at the little boy who had been following her. It was as if she was hesitating about something.The little boy said, "Sis, it doesn't hurt.""Even if it doesn't hurt, you're still wounded. Aren’t you limping around?" said the little girl before looking up and saying to Ling Yiran, "Aunt Ling, just give me a minute. I'll be right back to accompany Lil Ci to the hospital with you." Wit

"Who knows? There are all sorts of weird people these days. I've also heard that some people adopt children with certain birth dates to ward off evil spirits for their families," said Qin Lianyi as she curled her lips.Ling Yiran pressed her lips together, seemingly thinking of something.Just then, the little girl ran back. This time, without a bag but a small crossbody pouch. She took the boy's hand and said to Ling Yiran, "Aunt Ling, I'm ready to accompany Ci to the hospital."Ling Yiran smiled. "Okay, let's go."Qin Lianyi shrugged and drove the car over. They got in the car, and Ling Yiran asked the little girl, "Did you tell your parents?""I left a note," said He Zixin. However, she knew that there was no point in leaving a note. Even if she and Ci were gone for one night, her father would not care—let alone her stepmother.Her stepmother wished she and Ci were gone.They drove to the hospital. Ling Yiran saw He Zixin's tiny hand tightly holding Lil Ci's hand as though th

Ling Yiran responded and went to get the prescription filled with the rest.It was just a couple of ointments and a spray to relieve the pain and heal the bruises.Ling Yiran handed the medicine to the little girl. "Here, this is Lil Ci's medicine. You need to apply it several times a day. The instructions are on the box. Do you know how to read these words?""Yes!" said He Zixin."Then remember to apply this medicine to Lil Ci’s bruises every day," said Ling Yiran."That’s no trouble at all! Lil Ci is my brother!" He Zixin put the medicine into her crossbody pouch and pulled out several crumpled bills that ranged from one dollar, two dollars, and up to fifty dollars."Here's 93 dollars. I know it isn't enough for today's medical expenses. I'll pay you again when I have enough money!" He Zixin said in a grown-up tone.It was obvious that this money was all she had.Looking at the crumpled notes, Ling Yiran could not help smiling. "It's alright. I'll pay for Lil Ci's medical bil

He Zixin wanted to give the money to Ling Yiran again, and Ling Yiran took it this time. "Okay, I'll take the money. You can pay me the rest when you've saved enough money. We'll send you home now."Qin Lianyi drove Ling Yiran and the two children to the He family’s house.When they got there, the two adults sent the two children to the door of the He family’s house. Their stepmother, Zheng Yahui, opened the door. When she saw the two children, she immediately shouted at He Zixin, "Where the hell did you go, girl? If you don't want to stay in this house, then get out as soon as possible with that drag!""I left a note. I brought Lil Ci to the hospital!" He Zixin said with a straight face."Note? Hmph, what hospital? I think the two of you just went somewhere to play! Did you destroy someone else's property and need to pay compensation? I'm telling you, all the money in this house is mine and your dad's. None of it belongs to your dead mother!" Zheng Yahui scolded He Zixin, thinking

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
