If he had said yes right away, Hao Yimeng would have hesitated. However, Gu Lichen only agreed on such a condition, hence Hao Yimeng felt reassured."Okay, I'll tell you what happened and why Ling Yiran fell into the sea. But... Gu Lichen, I'm afraid you’d rather not know anything after hearing it," said Hao Yimeng.Gu Lichen's face froze after hearing what Hao Yimeng said.She said, "Gu Lichen, I just hope that you’ll keep your word."She had never felt indebted to anyone in her life. She had never even felt sorry for the sister she killed, the now severely injured Xiao Ziqi, or her parents.She would not have killed her sister if her parents had not been so biased toward her, and she would not hate Xiao Ziqi so much if he had been more sincere to her!However, she kept feeling indebted to Lil Fei...Lil Fei... She did not even know who his biological father was. All she remembered was that she had gotten drunk one night and met a man on the streets who looked like a drug addic
Gu Lichen went back to the car. He smiled ruefully as he looked out the window to look at the night sky.'So that's what happened. Yiran chose to fall into the sea... for Jinli!'Yiran loves Jinli so much... that she would sacrifice her own life and the lives of her three children for Jinli. She took the risk to keep the three triplets in her belly, which shows just how much she loves them.'But... she loves Yi Jinli more!'...Lil Ci woke up. Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli went to the hospital where the little one was admitted and saw Lil Ci.He Zixin was also in the ward. She was the only member of the He family who Yi Jinli allowed to visit Lil Ci.After the other members of the He family found out that Lil Ci was the Yi family's lost child, they all regretted it. They regretted not treating Lil Ci well when he was with the He family.Therefore, after hearing the news that Lil Ci had been found, they immediately rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, they were blocked outside the h
"But I don't like them," said Lil Ci."Why not? They're good people," He Zixin said in confusion."They'll separate me from you, won't they? Then I can't be with you anymore. I don't like them, and I don't want them to be my daddy and mommy." Lil Ci stretched out his hands and hugged He Zixin as he spoke. He buried his little face in her chest, full of attachment.He seemed to have gone back to being a docile kitten.When Lil Ci said this, He Zixin looked sad. She looked at Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran, asking, "Uncle Yi, Aunt Ling, are you going to take Lil Ci away?""Lil Ci is our son. He’ll naturally have to acknowledge his biological family and return to the Yi family, but you can meet anytime you want," said Yi Jinli."I don't want to return to the Yi family. I just want to be with Sis," Lil Ci said sternly as his hands held He Zixin tighter. The eyes he used to stare at Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran grew more hostile.To him, his so-called daddy and mommy were just enemies trying to
"And cough up all the money you received to raise him. Pay one cent less and you'll see what the consequences are." Yi Jinli left with Ling Yiran as soon as he finished speaking.He Wanlong and Zheng Yahui looked dumbfounded.They had wanted to get credit from them, but now they had to cough up all the money they previously received. How could they accept this?When Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli returned to Yi Residence, they heard Uncle Kwan say, "Little Young Lady refuses to let the child be taken away no matter what. She found a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed the child's hand to hers. She flushed the key down the toilet!""The child?" Ling Yiran was stunned. "Who?""Hao Yimeng's son." It was Yi Jinli who answered her.'Hao Yimeng's son?' Ling Yiran immediately realized it was the little boy at the exhibition who played the piano very well, but… “Why is he with Lil Jin? And in the Yi family house?""When you were trying to save Lil Ci, Lil Jin sneaked out of the house and somehow
As for when they could see Lil Ci... "Lil Ci will return to the Yi family when he’s discharged. You'll get to meet him then.""Okay, I'll be a good older sister!" said Yi Qianjin as she lifted her chin, already assuming the role of an older sister!Just then, Lil Fei, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Is my mommy going to jail?"The air seemed a little depressing when the childlike voice was heard asking such a question.Ling Yiran looked at the child in front of her. She and Hao Yimeng had a lot of bad blood, but the child was innocent."That's for the judge to decide," said Ling Yiran. She could not bear to say the harsh truth so directly in front of the children."Oh," Lil Fei replied in a whisper as he lowered his head and said nothing more.Yi Jinli said to Ling Yiran, "Alright, it's almost time for you to go back to the hospital. You've been out too long. There's too much missing data on your hands. The calculation is going to be inaccurate.""Okay," said Ling Yiran. S
When he pushed open the door, he saw Yi Qianjin and Lil Fei lying on the bed. Lil Fei seemed to be asleep, while Lil Jin looked like she was reading as she was holding a storybook. A maid was looking after them.The maid immediately got up when she saw Yi Jinli."You can go out first," Yi Jinli told the maid.The maid replied softly and left the room."Daddy?" Yi Qianjin looked at Yi Jinli in confusion. 'Uncle Butler said Daddy would be staying with Mommy in the hospital these days. Why is he back again?'"Were you telling Lil Fei a story?" Yi Jinli asked gently. He had shed his usual indifference and pride. He looked like an ordinary father in front of his daughter."Yup!" Yi Qianjin said, but in a lower voice than usual. It was as if she was afraid of waking Lil Fei. "He couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd tell him a story so he could fall asleep. Whenever I can't sleep, Mommy reads me a story and I'll fall asleep."Yi Qianjin hesitated a little and said to Yi Jinli, "Daddy, I kn
He raised his hand and gently touched his daughter's head with a smile on his face. "Of course, I won't chop off his hand. I'm not a bad person. I just want you to know that even if you're handcuffed together, it's actually easy to separate you if we want to."Yi Qianjin blinked. "Daddy, are you really not going to chop off Lil Fei's hand?""Yes." Yi Jinli looked just like a loving father. His eyes were full of affection when he looked at his daughter, who looked very much like Yiran. When he looked at his tiny daughter, it made up for his regrets for not knowing Yiran when they were younger. "But Lil Jin, just tell me if you like Lil Fei. You don't have to play such tricks.""Daddy, will you let Lil Fei stay if I tell you that?”"I'll agree if it's a reasonable request," Yi Jinli said gently. The smile on the corner of his lips softened. "You're my daughter, and I'll only give you the best. You can keep Lil Fei around if you really like him."Yi Jinli said nonchalantly. Yi Qianji
'If I can't play the piano, is Lil Jin... going to stop liking me?'He seemed to want to play the piano for her....The Yi family had suppressed the news, so Qin Lianyi had no idea that Ling Yiran found her child—let alone that the child was kidnapped and her best friend almost died!Qin Lianyi only found out about everything after calling Yi Jinli on the phone because she could not get through to her best friend.She hurriedly took the day off and rushed to the hospital Ling Yiran was admitted to."Yiran, your hands..." Qin Lianyi immediately froze at the sight of her best friend's bandaged hands.After learning that her best friend would be undergoing an operation for her hands in a few days and the success rate of the operation was very low, Qin Lianyi gasped sharply."What if... the operation fails...""That means I can't do anything with them anymore, but... even if I can't use my hands, I still have my mouth and feet. Aren't there a lot of devices that use voice functio
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
