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
Just then, one of the security guards said, "What's going on? Is someone bleeding? Is anyone else injured besides you?"'Bleeding?' Qin Lianyi froze. Following the security guard's gaze, she saw a smear of red blood on the steps of the escalator!The escalator steps were dark gray, so the blood was not that obvious. It was why Qin Lianyi did not notice it just now.'The blood belongs to... Bai Tingxin!'That's where Bai Tingxin fell just now!'Qin Lianyi suddenly felt something pressing her chest, making her gasp for breath a little. He was hurt but did not say anything!If she had been more careful, or if he had not been wearing dark clothes, she would have noticed!Once she was back home, Qin Lianyi could not sleep. She kept thinking of Bai Tingxin and how they fell earlier whenever she closed her eyes.'Why didn’t he tell me about his injury? Does he want nothing more to do with me?'Then why did he save me? Why did he happen to be there?'For a moment, all sorts of doubts
She instantly paused and turned around, only to see Bai Tingxin standing ten meters away! 'He's... still here?'Qin Lianyi was dumbfounded. Then, she saw Bai Tingxin approaching her step by step. "Are you looking for me?" he repeated the question earlier.Qin Lianyi finally came to her senses, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes! Did you hurt yourself when you fell down the escalator today? Where did you hurt yourself?"His dark eyes gazed at her before a sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of his lips. "Are you worried about me?""So what if I am? Why are you here at this hour when you’re injured instead of resting at home?” How long would he have stood there if she had not opened the window?Her heart could not help but tremble at the thought of this.He chuckled as his lashes drooped a little. "Would it move you if I said I came here because I wanted to see you? Will you be moved enough to get back together with me?""Bai Tingxin, I’m serious!""And who are you to say I
However... his words seemed to have shattered all her fantasies."Do you want to marry someone else and never see me again?" Bai Tingxin's voice continued ringing in her ears.She stared at him and did not know what to say for a moment.Bai Tingxin seemed to have no intention of waiting for her answer. He turned around, intending to leave.Qin Lianyi stepped forward and suddenly grabbed his arm. "Are your injuries serious?"The tall figure stiffened instantly and paled in the moonlight. "I told you. Don't touch me if you have no feelings for me!""Can't someone you saved be concerned about your injuries?" asked Qin Lianyi."Others can, but... not you!" he said, trying to remove his arm from her fingers.Qin Lianyi felt her heart hurt even more, but she still firmly grasped Bai Tingxin's arm. "Are your wounds serious?" It was all she wanted to know. How injured was he?He stared at her as she gripped his arm so tightly, looking like she would not let him go no matter what.If.
Qin Lianyi bit her lip and said nothing. Bai Tingxin laughed bitterly. "It seems that you'd rather let me be in pain, huh?" He said nothing more after that, lifting his feet to walk away.Qin Lianyi watched the figure disappear into the night before crouching down as if she was exhausted. She wrapped her hands tightly around her knees as her nose felt sore.She wanted to cry but could not, and her mouth had a bitter taste.'How did things turn out this way between us? What should I do? I’ve finally made up my mind, but why do I keep wavering because of him?'...Xiao Ziqi never expected to see Hao Yimeng again!However, Hao Yimeng was different from the woman he remembered. She wore plain cheap clothes, and her frizzy hair was carelessly tied up with a rubber band. Her face was as gaunt as if she were in her 40s.People who were unaware would not believe that she was once deemed a goddess by countless men."You..." Xiao Ziqi did not know what to say."What's the matter? You
Hao Yimeng looked coldly at Xiao Ziqi, who was complaining. "I only made the mistake of loving you too much! A man like you isn't worth it.""You..." Xiao Ziqi glared at Hao Yimeng. "You said you did all that because you loved me, but it was simply because you didn't want to be in your sister’s shadow for the rest of your life. After everything you've done wrong, you must turn yourself in!""What if I don't want to?" asked Hao Yimeng."Then I'll call the police," said Xiao Ziqi as he took out his phone.The next moment, Hao Yimeng suddenly waved her hand toward the children's play area inside the KFC outlet and shouted, "Lil Fei, come here!"A little boy who had been sitting in the corner watching others play slowly got up and walked out of the play area to walk over to Hao Yimeng.Xiao Ziqi's fingers paused just as he was prepared to dial 110. "This kid...""He's my son." Hao Yimeng smiled like a confident hunter waiting for her prey to jump into her trap. "He's your son too, X
