Yi Jinli was livid when he saw the email. However, they stopped replying after he sent another email.Ling Yiran said, "I'll go. Hao Yimeng and Xiao Ziqi seem determined to get me there!"Yi Jinli pressed thin lips together tightly and said nothing. He clearly disagreed with Ling Yiran."Jin, I'll take good care of myself, but... Even if you're against this, I have to save Lil Ci. It's the only thing I can do for him as his mother!" Ling Yiran said firmly.Yi Jinli sighed helplessly. He could never go against her."Well, let's make a bet. If something happens to you, I'll follow suit!"The simple sentence represented his determination. Ling Yiran's heart trembled as she understood what Yi Jinli meant. His life and death would depend on her’s!Ling Yiran forced herself to sleep that night. Only with adequate sleep could she have more strength and energy to save Lil Ci.Yi Jinli slowly opened his eyes after Ling Yiran fell asleep. His lips gently fell on her deformed fingers."Y
"Once you've transferred the money and that we're safely out of here, I'll tell you what I fed him! I have to take some measures to protect myself too, right?" she said."Okay, I hope you keep your word! Otherwise, no one's going to have it easy!" Ling Yiran took a deep breath and began transferring the money on the laptop.She transferred the money to the designated account as required.The man handed Lil Ci to her. The moment Ling Yiran held him, the man whispered, "I'm sorry."Ling Yiran froze. "You..."Just then, the female voice on the phone said, "I've got the money. Ling Yiran, you owe me this! This is an auspicious place that I found for you! How about you die here with the man you once loved? Isn't that great?""What did you say?" Xiao Ziqi, who was wearing the Monkey King mask, was surprised. This was not what they had agreed on!'What the hell is Yimeng doing?'"It's exactly as I said. The place is going to explode soon. I've planted so many explosives on this hill t
However, Yi Jinli had shown up in front of her and the entrance of the house was crowded with people."Why... Why are you here? Why is the image on the surveillance different?" Hao Yimeng asked in surprise."There are many things you can fake, like how you got yourself a fake identity and used a fake son to trick Xiao Ziqi. So why is it surprising that I’m here?" Yi Jinli looked at Hao Yimeng coldly. "We've also caught your two helpers. Hao Yimeng, your game is over. I'll settle the old and new debts with you."Hao Yimeng's heart sank. Her two helpers were huge fans of her, and one of them was also a wanted criminal online.They had planned this with her. If those two had been arrested, then she..."Everything ends here!" Yi Jinli said coldly.Yi Jinli's men immediately subdued Hao Yimeng with little difficulty. They also handed Yi Jinli the remote control for the explosives and the phone Hao Yimeng was using to talk to Ling Yiran.Yi Jinli spoke into the phone, "Yiran, can you
Gao Congming froze. He remembered what had happened in the past when Yi Jinli pressed the detonating device after leaving his last words, disregarding his own danger.As soon as Yi Jinli said that, his men were naturally afraid to stop him. Yi Jinli drove toward the hill, which was still ringing with the sound of explosions.Gao Congming and the others rushed over to catch up.Hao Yimeng stared blankly through the window and watched Yi Jinli's car drive away. 'Is this man planning to risk his life and go up the hill to save Ling Yiran?'Ling Yiran had the affections of this man, which her sister previously longed for."Sis, do you see this? It turns out the man you loved has the ability to love another woman with all he has!" Hao Yimeng laughed sarcastically, wondering what her sister would think if she knew that the man she loved was in love with another woman with all he had.She would laugh at her sister when she died and saw her!However, if she did meet her sister after she
Just then, another explosion rang out not far away from them. Rocks and trees instantly crumbled and burst.Gu Lichen almost instinctively defended Lil Ci and blocked Ling Yiran at the same time.A muffled grunt rang in Ling Yiran's ear."Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Ling Yiran asked anxiously.Gu Lichen's face paled a little before saying with a faint smile, "I'm fine. Let's get down the hill first!"However, his expression changed as soon as he got up. The ground beneath him was sinking...The explosion earlier had caused the ground to collapse!Gu Lichen threw Lil Ci into Ling Yiran's arms and pushed Ling Yiran to safety.Everything happened in the blink of an eye.The next moment, Gu Lichen found himself falling. 'Am I... going to die in a place like this? I never thought I'd die this way.'But... if I manage to save Yiran, then a death like this doesn't seem too bad!'When she fell into the sea, all he had felt was regret for not being there for her and not saving her.
"One can recall even forgotten memories. Although... Jin forgot me, he's recalling our past little by little... Gu Lichen, I... I'm losing my grip. Hurry... Hurry..."Ling Yiran's voice became more and more strained. Seeing that Gu Lichen had no intention of grabbing her wrist, she glanced at Lil Ci out of the corners of her eyes. He was still unconscious. She gritted her teeth and stretched out her other hand, holding Gu Lichen's hand with both hands!However, this pushed her body further toward the sunken ground. If there was another explosion, she would fall as well.Gu Lichen watched what Ling Yiran was doing in shock. "Do you know what you’re doing?""Yes," she said as a thick layer of sweat covered her forehead. "Gu Lichen, you saved me before. I have no reason not to save you... If... If I let go now, I... I can never forgive myself..."Sweat trickled down her cheeks and onto his face.It was just like... how she had pulled his hand back then. Even though it was difficult,
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Yi Jinli asked Ling Yiran with concern. He was most worried about her right now."I'm fine, but Hao Yimeng fed Lil Ci some medicine that made him unconscious. Oh yes, where's Hao Yimeng? We have to ask her for the cure!" Ling Yiran said in a panic.Yi Jinli picked Ling Yiran up in his arms. "Let's go down the hill first. We've subdued Hao Yimeng. We'll make her hand over Lil Ci's antidote whether she likes it or not!"Ling Yiran breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of that. She rested her head against Yi Jinli's arms, and her tense body finally relaxed.Yi Jinli held Ling Yiran and quickly headed to the foot of the hill while his men followed. They were protecting the unconscious Lil Ci and Yi Qianmo."Mr. Gu, do you want us to carry you?" asked several other bodyguards who were around Gu Lichen."No thanks. I can walk," said Gu Lichen as he began following them. The bodyguards did not say anything more.Gu Lichen was walking with his eyes glued t
Ling Yiran's hands hurt even more now. Even though she wanted to say more, the pain made her clench her teeth hard as sweat continued to pour from her forehead.Yi Jinli carried Ling Yiran into the car and instructed the driver to go to Dr. Su's clinic.Gao Congming arranged for someone to bring Lil Ci to the hospital they had contacted earlier for examination.Yi Qianmo's young face was full of worry."Uncle Gao, are Mommy and Lil Bro in danger?" the little one asked."With your daddy around, I'm sure they'll be alright," said Gao Congming."But..." The little one bit his lip. "Daddy seemed worried just now."He had never seen his father like that. His father was more worried now than the time when their kindergarten teacher said that his sister was missing!It was as if his father would go crazy if something really happened to his mother.Inexplicably, that was what Yi Qianmo felt at this moment."That's because your daddy loves your mommy so much," said Gao Congming."He
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! They told me Gu Lichen
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
