On the way back, Yi Jinli said nonchalantly, "You should have seen everything you needed to see. I'm not interested in knowing what you’re thinking right now, but I want you to be obedient and not have any funny ideas while you're staying with the Yi family. Don't hurt Lil Jin and Lil Mo!"Even though Hao Jifei was only five years old, Yi Jinli spoke unsparingly and straightforwardly.Hao Jifei looked up at Yi Jinli. "Uncle Yi, when are you sending me away?"Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly a little surprised by the child's incisiveness. Indeed, he never intended to let the child stay with the Yi family for long since the very beginning."When Lil Jin gets tired of you, I'll let you leave the Yi family. But until then, you’d better keep her company, got it? If she's happy, I’ll arrange for you to go somewhere better after you leave the Yi family.”The little one fiddled with his hands, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.Although the little one se
"I... I'm not crying," said Hao Jifei as he turned his little head away with some embarrassment."Your eyes are red," said Yi Qianjin. Following the direction of Hao Jifei's face, she moved closer to him. Then, she reached out her hand and used her fingers to dab under his eyes. There were tears on her fingers.Her action was so sudden that he was caught off guard."Look, it’s your tears!" She stuck out her little tongue and licked the tears from her fingers as she said, "It's salty!"Hao Jifei's face turned even redder. He was a little flustered."Why are you crying?" Yi Qianjin leaned her little head forward and asked, "Is it because your mommy is gone?" She heard her parents say Lil Fei's mother had died in prison.'Dying... means he'll never see her again!'That's what it meant on TV!'Hao Jifei's little face was tense, and he was silent.Yi Qianjin said grimly, "If my mommy's gone, I'd cry too. For many, many days! I won't laugh if you want to cry!""I won't cry." Hao
He froze, wondering why she was crying when he had already eaten the chocolate she gave."Why... are you crying?" he asked after swallowing the chocolate.Yi Qianjin sobbed, "Because... Because you lost your mommy. Boo-hoo... Lil Fei, you must be... You must be so upset, but... But the chocolate I gave you can't cheer you up... What can I do to cheer you up... Boo-hoo..."He was a little stunned. 'Does she... want to make me happy that badly?'"It's not important... whether I'm happy. I'm going to end up alone anyway," he murmured.She sobbed, saying, "It is important! It's very, very important! Besides, you're not alone, Lil Fei. You and I will always be together. There are two of us... Boo-hoo!"She sobbed louder and louder. Suddenly, her little body leaped over and she hugged him while continuing to cry. Hao Jifei had a strange feeling. He should be the one who was upset, but she was the one crying her eyes out.However, it somehow warmed him that she was crying as she held
However, he could not help saying the word ‘okay’ when his eyes met those sparkly ones!...Hao Yimeng's parents returned to Shen City to handle her funeral arrangements. Hao Qirong and his wife did not want to take custody of their grandson, Lil Fei. After all, they were not doing well right now. With their age, it was going to be even harder with a child around.Therefore, even though they knew the child was now living with the Yi family, they did not mention taking him back.Yi Jinli did not mention Lil Fei to Hao Qirong and his wife either.It was as if Lil Fei did not exist.Xiao Ziqi was still in the hospital. Although he survived, he still suffered from various side effects from the treatment and was in great pain every day.When he learned of Hao Yimeng's death, he simply squeezed three words from between his teeth. "She deserved it!"All he had left for Hao Yimeng, the woman he once loved, was hatred.His whole life was ruined at the hands of Hao Yimeng. He only agree
He looked at her. "Why do you want to spend more time with me every day?""Because I like you, Lil Fei! Of course, I want to spend more time with you.""Is it just because I can play the piano?""Um..." Lil Jin’s little face showed that she was deep in thought. "Although I like you because you're good at playing the piano, it's not the only reason. Other children also play the piano well, but I don't like them that much.""If you don't like me that much anymore one day, are you going to stop being with me?" the young boy asked in a mutter.There was no change in expression on his face, but his tight grip betrayed his nervousness.Yi Qianjin said confidently, "I won't stop liking you! As I said, I want to be with you forever, so stay in this family forever!"'Forever... How long is forever?'"Come on. I'll play you the new tune!" Yi Qianjin dragged him toward the main house again.Hao Jifei did not resist this time. He followed Yi Qianjin back to the main house.At this moment
"I'm fine," said Bai Tingxin."But you don't look very well." She reached her hand out to his forehead as if out of habit while she spoke.The next moment, Bai Tingxin's expression suddenly changed and he waved away Qin Lianyi's hand.Qin Lianyi was stunned for a moment, her hand still hanging in mid-air. Bai Tingxin seemed stunned too. He spoke a little weakly, "I... I’m feeling a little under the weather. You shouldn’t touch me."It was because he could not endure the pain her touch would bring him.Qin Lianyi bit her lip and said a little awkwardly, "Okay, got it." As she spoke, she withdrew her hand and straightened herself. She even deliberately distanced herself from him.Bai Tingxin opened his mouth as if wanting to explain. Ultimately, he did not say anything... When the blood curse was completely removed, he would tell her everything!Finally, when it was Qin Lianyi's turn, she walked into the consulting room. After determining how far along she was, the doctor arrang
She had no idea what was on his mind!Sometimes, he seemed to care about her and want to get back together with her. However, he clearly resisted her just now. He did not even allow her to touch him.'In that case, why did he accompany me to the pregnancy check-up?'Or... does he only care about the baby? If I lost the baby, maybe he wouldn’t be so nice to me anymore.’Qin Lianyi smiled wryly. When did she become so sentimental? She was even undecided whether to keep the baby in her belly.When the car stopped, she suddenly realized that she was already in her neighborhood.Qin Lianyi turned to look at Bai Tingxin but found that he had fallen asleep while leaning on the back of the chair.There was obvious fatigue on his face as he slept. There was a faint shade of bluish-black under his eyes, obviously from a lack of sleep. A few strands of hair fell over his forehead, and his long black lashes made his handsome face look angelic.He was as good-looking as ever. Perhaps he w
"Only one week. Lianyi, all I'm asking for is another week," said Bai Tingxin.Qin Lianyi said unhappily, "What on earth do you want? You've been dragging your feet on discussing the car compensation and you keep wanting me to give you time. When a week has passed, will you ask me to give you a few more weeks?”"Lianyi, I..."Just then, a voice suddenly rang out and interrupted Bai Tingxin."What are you two doing together?"Qin Lianyi instantly shuddered upon hearing the voice. 'It's... Dad's voice!'Qin Lianyi turned her head around to see her father and mother standing not far away. They were looking at them with shock. Her mother was carrying a basket with many vegetables inside of it.It was obvious that her parents had just come home from grocery shopping."Lianyi, were you with Bai Tingxin when you said you had to go out in the morning for something?" asked Mrs. Qin.Qin Lianyi blinked and did not know how to explain herself all of a sudden."Tell me. What were the two
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
