Zhuo Qianyun said frankly, "Yes, we're not. Not now, not ever. We’ll never get back together.”"He made a mistake, but won’t he be able to win your heart again even if he spends the rest of his life trying?” asked Yi Jinli."Jin!" said Ling Yiran, scared that Zhuo Qianyun would be offended by Yi Jinli being too straightforward.Somewhat uncharacteristically, Yi Jinli continued to stare at Zhuo Qianyun as if wanting to hear her answer.Zhuo Qianyun said, "I’ll never love him again, even if he spends the rest of his life making it up to me and repenting."She spoke with such determination!Yi Jinli's brows furrowed slightly. "Why? He hurt you because he was deceived. He didn’t do it intentionally."Zhuo Qianyun said, "But he did it on purpose at first. He approached me and made me fall in love with him with another motive in mind. Also, he had every opportunity to investigate the truth, but he didn't. He preferred to believe that I was a villain who was responsible for everything.
Since he felt no pain, what difference did it make if his bruises healed quickly or slowly?"Even if it doesn't hurt, it may affect your health if you’re injured and you don’t get yourself treated. You’re only suffering from superficial injuries this time, but if you hurt your bones and you don’t seek treatment just because you’re not in pain, then you may have to walk with a limp forever.” Ling Yiran tried to explain things as simply as she could.The little one was silent as if thinking over her words.Ling Yiran added, "Would you like to change your home? What about staying with me and Uncle Yi? Then no one will ever hit you again and you won't suffer from these kinds of injuries."Lil Ci instantly grew vigilant. The way he looked at Ling Yiran had also changed. He appeared fierce, like a small animal that was ready to pounce and bite at any time.Ling Yiran felt that Lil Ci was looking at her as though he was looking at his enemy. She felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.
Before Yi Jinli left, he stared at Lil Ci again. His eyes seemed to be thinking about something.Yi Jinli kept his head down in silence after they got back in the car. Ling Yiran asked, "What are you thinking about?" He instantly came back to his senses and smiled faintly, saying, "Nothing. Let's go back to Yi Residence."At night, a figure arrived at the mourning hall. Yi Jinli walked in and looked at the black and white photo of his father hanging in front of him.In the photo, his father looked gentle. There was a soft smile on his lips. There seemed to be a hint of joy in his deep eyes too, as though they carried rays of sunshine.If he looked at the shape of his father’s eyes, they were somewhat similar to the boy called Lil Ci whom he met today.He had only given the child a cursory glance at the amusement park before this.Although he had heard about the child from Yiran, it was only today that he got a good look at the child.He did not think of it at first but then he r
"It’s nothing. I just thought I'd come and have a look," said Yi Jinli. After all, he did not want her to get excited before he confirmed things. It would be better to wait until he got the final result before telling her!"Are you in a bad mood?" asked Ling Yiran."What's the matter? Do you think I came here because I'm in a bad mood?" Yi Jinli said with a slight twinkle in his eyes."You’re not in a bad mood?" Her almond-shaped eyes stared at him."No." He shook his head and pulled her into his arms. "I'm not in a bad mood. On the contrary, I'm feeling quite good." At the very least, Lil Ci might be their lost child, and she would be overjoyed if it turned out to be true!He would be able to see her smile. These days, there would be a lingering sadness in her eyes even though she was smiling.Ling Yiran was confused. "Did anything happen today that made you so happy?""Isn't the fact that you're right by my side good enough to make me happy?" he whispered as he lowered his hea
Qin Lianyi was silent. She thought she could get over Bai Tingxin. In the past years, she had been slowly getting over him. She would think of him less, and every time she thought of him, the ache in her heart would lessen.She thought she was getting there and her heart would stop stirring for that man one day.However, Bai Tingxin kept recurring to her these days. She would think of when he took her to the apartment, how he kissed her, what he said to her... and even lost sleep thinking about him.She had been trying so hard to get over him but she failed because of Bai Tingxin's reappearance.Bai Yulai said, "Are you going to get back together with Bai Tingxin? His engagement with the Gao family has been called off. Even if you get back with him, no one will criticize you." Qin Lianyi shook her head. "I’ve never thought of getting back together with him. We grew up in different environments and don’t share the same values. Even if we do manage to get back together, problems wi
After the meal, Qin Lianyi asked Bai Yulai to accompany her to shop around the area to help with digestion as well as pick out gifts for Lil Yan, Lil Mo, and Lil Jin.At the same time, Qin Lianyi told Bai Yulai about Lil Ci. "You don't know how many bruises there were on the child when he took off his clothes. I can't believe his family did such a thing. Even if he's adopted and not their biological child, they can't beat him up like that! The sight of it really pissed me off! If I had a child, I’d worry about not loving them enough.”"You're going to be a great mother," said Bai Yulai."I don't know if I'll ever be a mother." Qin Lianyi shrugged. After all, she was already 33 years old. A woman could only bear children up till a certain age. Although many women over 40 still had children, they were a minority.Maybe she would get over Bai Tingxin after a few years, but she would no longer be able to conceive then!She had always loved kids! She even thought that if she had a baby
Qin Lianyi said, "What's the matter? Are you going to continue to make a fool of yourself? I can tell you with certainty that I never told the director to dismiss you, nor did I stop others from hiring you. I'm not that powerful!"Zhao Ruyou shouted, "You're not powerful, but Bai Tingxin is! It's you! You asked Bai Tingxin to get back at me!"Qin Lianyi's expression sank as she stared at Zhao Ruyou and sneered. "If I'm that powerful, how do you think I'm going to pay you back for that slap you gave me and what you just said to me? Since Bai Tingxin will help me do whatever I want, it's a piece of cake if I want to make sure you can no longer stay in Shen City."As soon as she said this, Zhao Ruyou's face turned pale with fear.Qin Lianyi turned to Bai Yulai and said, "Yulai, let her go."Only then did Bai Yulai let go of Zhao Ruyou's arm.Zhao Ruyou was no longer as aggressive as before and became a little nervous.Qin Lianyi also ignored Zhao Ruyou and said to Bai Yulai, "Let's
Qin Lianyi looked up to the man who had protected her. 'He's the one in pain, isn't he? He became a human cushion!'"I... I'm fine," she said quickly. She saw that his face was unusually pale and his brows were furrowed as though he was suppressing his pain. A thin layer of sweat had also broken out on his forehead.Qin Lianyi hurriedly got up. "Are you... okay?"Bai Tingxin gasped a little. "I'm fine."Qin Lianyi stretched out her hand to help Bai Tingxin to get up, but he glanced at her hand before looking at her face. "If you don't feel that way about me, don't touch me.""I... I'm just trying to help you to get up.""That's not necessary," he said as he staggered to his feet."Lianyi, how are you?" Bai Yulai rushed over and asked."I'm alright. I'm not hurt," said Qin Lianyi. 'It's just that... What about Bai Tingxin? Is he okay? I even fell on top of him after that fall... Is he really okay?'Then, Bai Yulai said to Bai Tingxin, "Mr. Bai, thank you for saving Lianyi jus
