Bai Yulai said, "They're just strangers who misunderstood. Don't take it to heart."His casual attitude made her feel less awkward. Suddenly, as if she recalled something, she said, "By the way, don't tell anyone about my pregnancy. I... haven't told my parents yet."Bai Yulai froze slightly. Surprise flashed across his eyes as he asked, "Is Bai Tingxin unwilling to take responsibility?""Huh?" Qin Lianyi blinked and did not react in time to Bai Yulai's wild speculation."Are you scared to tell your parents about your pregnancy because Bai Tingxin refuses to take responsibility?" asked Bai Yulai."I... I didn't tell my parents because..." However, before Qin Lianyi could finish, a voice interjected. "Who did you say isn’t taking responsibility?"Qin Lianyi shuddered, feeling her hair standing on end. She turned around only to see Bai Tingxin standing a few steps behind her.'Gosh! When did he come here?'Bai Yulai was also surprised to see Bai Tingxin. The way his eyes stared
"Oh? Then why didn't you go in?" he asked.She rolled her eyes at him. "I'm pregnant. You know how loud a concert can be. What if people bump into me and squeeze by me after I go in?”'Doesn't he know this when he has accompanied me to many concerts?'His eyes softened. "Were you afraid that the baby in your belly might get hurt?""I..." She froze and said nothing more.Bai Tingxin's voice rang in her ears again. "Bai Yulai thinks I refuse to take responsibility after getting you pregnant.""He misunderstood!" she said quickly."Well then, do you want me to be responsible for you?" he asked.Her eyes met his, and at that moment, she felt as if she were drowning in them."Do you? Do you want me to be responsible for you?" His voice was so mesmerizing that she wanted to nod and say yes.'No... No!'She had never wanted him to take responsibility like this...Qin Lianyi shook her head, and the pressure around her instantly reduced.Bai Tingxin's eyes dimmed almost unmistakabl
He hugged her hard, even though it only made his pain worse.She had no idea how much strength her words had given him to keep enduring the pain."Lianyi, wait for me. Give me a little more time," he muttered.He would come clean to her after he got rid of the blood curse!...Qin Lianyi could attend GB's concert after all. She was in the VIP room where she was not pushed around by a crowd of fans. Sitting in the private room, she looked at the transparent glass in front of her. It showed the stage, as well as the many screens that provided the view from different angles. She got to see the concert in all directions, so to speak.Qin Lianyi could not help but sigh at the power of money. Even so, she did not enjoy the concert much."What's the matter? Do you dislike it?" asked Bai Tingxin."I just find it a little weird. I find a concert more fun when you can scream and go crazy with everyone," said Qin Lianyi."I thought you wanted to see GB's concert just to see those five
Qin Lianyi’s heart was in turmoil at that instant!When Bai Tingxin drove her back to her apartment after the concert ended, all she was thinking about was what Bai Tingxin had said and the song he sang.'Did a man like him learn to sing for... me?'"You can tell Bai Yulai about your pregnancy but not your parents?" Bai Tingxin's voice broke the peace in the car."Ah!" Qin Lianyi suddenly came to her senses. "I told Bai Yulai because I thought I should tell him, lest I stop him from dating other people."He looked at her gravely. "You're very considerate of Bai Yulai, but what about me? What are you going to tell me?"Qin Lianyi hesitated and said, "Bai Tingxin, I don't want to marry just for the sake of the baby. If that's all there is to marriage, then I'd rather be a single mother like Sis Zhuo and raise my child alone!"After a pause, she took a deep breath. As if she had mustered a great amount of courage, she said, "Besides, I haven't figured out whether I'm keeping the ba
He looked up at her and said, "Yiran, you’ll never be a burden to me. You’re my everything."Her heart jumped. This man was so deeply in love with her. It was the same five years ago and the same five years later!She moved out of bed."What's the matter? Do you want a glass of water or go to the bathroom?" he asked as he got up and walked quickly to her side."Nothing, I just… suddenly want to touch you,” said Ling Yiran. Although the bandages on her hands had been removed and she only had to apply some scar-lightening cream on the wounds every day, her fingers were still unable to move. She also needed to stimulate the nerves in her hands with slight electric currents every day."Where do you want to touch? My face?" asked Yi Jinli as he gently took Ling Yiran's hand and pressed it against his cheek.His cool cheek touched her warm fingers, and he gently rubbed his cheek against her palm. She always made him feel warm.He was the one who depended on her!Yi Jinli slowly mov
"I'll have someone tidy up the place later," said Yi Jinli."Oh," said Ling Yiran as she blushed.Yi Jinli helped Ling Yiran clean up and changed her into a clean hospital gown."By the way, Dr. Su said I can be discharged in two days. I'd like to see Lil Ci after that," said Ling Yiran.Lil Ci had been discharged from the hospital, but he refused to live in Yi Residence no matter what. He wanted to go back to the He family’s house just because He Zixin lived there.Ling Yiran did not want Lil Ci to become even more resistant to them, so after discussing with Yi Jinli, they decided to let him stay in the He family’s house. Of course, the He family agreed and were eager to take good care of Lil Ci. However, Ling Yiran knew that the He family just wanted to get on the Yi family's good side.Yi Jinli replied, "Okay, if you want the child to move back to the Yi Residence, then I’ll think of something else."It was not difficult for him to bring the little one back to Yi Residence,
Zheng Yahui, who was nearby, looked enthusiastic as she said, "Mrs. Yi, don't take it to heart. Lil Ci's still little. Don't worry, Yetian and I will take good care of him while you let him stay at the He family’s house!"Zheng Yahui seemed to have forgotten how they used to treat Lil Ci!The He family thought the longer Lil Ci stayed in the He family, the better. That way, the He family would have a better chance of getting on the Yi family's good side.Qin Lianyi walked over from the store. After hearing Zheng Yahui's hypocritical words, she sneered and said, "I wonder who beat up such a small child until there were wounds all over his body previously. How shameless of you to say that!"Zheng Yahui's expression stiffened.Qin Lianyi crouched down again and looked at Lil Ci. "You should know that your mommy suffered a lot for you. You’re able to stand here and wait for your sister to finish school because your mommy saved you by disregarding her own life!"Lil Ci's pretty little
"It’ll take about a year and a half to heal, but he said I should be able to carry light things in a week. After a month, I should be able to do simple things like typing and writing," said Ling Yiran."That's good." Qin Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief.Ling Yiran said goodbye to Sis Zhuo before heading to the He family’s house.Qin Lianyi sat in the store and said to Zhuo Qianyun, "Yiran was eager to meet her son as soon as she got discharged, but Lil Ci..."Zhuo Qianyun said, "He's still young and unfamiliar with Yiran. Maybe they'll get closer after some time. I saw how that boy is attached to his sister. That means he'll accept anyone who is truly kind to him.""I hope so," said Qin Lianyi.The two chatted, and Lil Yan soon returned. Zhuo Yan greeted Qin Lianyi politely when he saw her."Why are your clothes so dirty? Did you fall?" asked Zhuo Qianyun."I accidentally fell," said Zhuo Yan."Your pants are torn." Qin Lianyi saw a hole in the knee of Lil Yan's pants, which
