The two men looked at each other in the silent night.At that moment, Ling Yiran felt as if she had gone back to the time when she first saw him. His face was just as expressionless back then as it was now. His deep and beautiful peach blossom eyes were cold and empty."Jin, I'm sorry," she mumbled. Her apologetic voice sounded particularly clear at night.Yi Jinli gently looked down. "Sorry? Why apologize?""I know I shouldn't have gone down on my knees and begged you today. I know how much you hate your mother, yet I asked you to forgive her," she said.She never expected to run into such a complicated situation. Her mentor and his wife were kind to her, and she had to repay them for their kindness. However, the last thing she wanted was to hurt him.Perhaps people would always be partial. He would always be the one she cared about the most!He was also the last person she wanted to hurt!Yi Jinli kept his head down and did not make a sound.Step by step, Ling Yiran continue
However, he kept deceiving himself over and over again. He would rather believe her lies and that what she said was true.When it came to making a choice and running into such a test, the seemingly fragile lie stopped him from lying to himself."Go home. I want to be alone and not have anyone disturb me tonight," Yi Jinli said coldly.However, a pair of arms instantly wrapped around him from behind. She pressed her face onto his back.He instantly stiffened and heard her say, "I won't plead for Mrs. Kang, but my mentor and his wife are kind to me, Jin. You don't understand how helpless I was when I lost my memory and was struggling in a big city with a child. I had no past and could only fight to keep myself and my daughter alive. It wasn't until I met my mentor and his wife that I finally felt like I could take a break."After a pause, she hugged him a little tighter as if that would give her the courage to continue speaking. "I know you want Mrs. Kang to pay for what happened ba
Ling Yiran's skin that was exposed outside her clothes was now cold. Yi Jinli said, "Take a nap. I'll wake you up when we reach Yi Residence.""You won't... go missing again, will you?" she asked worriedly as it was only by chance that she managed to find him this time. He said, "No, so go to sleep."She was reassured, and she was indeed tired after this long day. Ling Yiran slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.Yi Jinli looked at her sleeping face with a thoughtful look in his dark eyes.The car drove slowly toward Yi Residence and soon arrived.Instead of waking her up, Yi Jinli carried her straight back to their bedroom and gently put her on the bed."Yiran, I can't let that woman go, so don't plead for that woman anymore, okay?" he muttered in a voice that sounded like a warning and a plea....When Qin Lianyi saw Ling Yiran, all she saw was her best friend's sad face. "What's wrong? What happened?"After all, in Qin Lianyi's opinion, her best friend was now
"But if you do this, have you ever wondered what if Bai Tingxin insists on wanting the baby back if he learns about their existence one day?" asked Ling Yiran.Qin Lianyi immediately said, "The baby's mine. I won't give them to anyone!"Ling Yiran said, "But he can sue and get the baby's custody. Didn't Ye Wenming also sue to take Lil Yan's custody from Sis Zhuo?"Qin Lianyi instantly turned pale, and she also stopped eating her dessert. "Could he... get custody?""If he really wants to do that and hires the best lawyers, there’s a 50-50 chance that he can get the baby's custody after they turn two," said Ling Yiran.Qin Lianyi gritted her teeth as she clenched her hands.Ling Yiran sighed. "Lianyi, if you ever get to that point, I’ll help you. But... how did you and Bai Tingxin get to this point? Didn’t you say you were going to start over with Bai Tingxin that day?”Qin Lianyi said bitterly, "He and I can never start over. Maybe he never really loved me. I thought he broke up
"Alright, don't overthink it. If it does come to this, I'll help you with the case," said Ling Yiran.After sending Qin Lianyi home, Ling Yiran dialed a phone number. It was an experienced private detective she knew and also a connection she made when she was a lawyer in L City."Please investigate Gao Manlin from Gao Group. I want to know her contact with Bai Tingxin after she officially broke up with him at the press conference and what she's doing now," said Ling Yiran.Ling Yiran needed to look into Gao Manlin before she could feel at ease.Ling Yiran did not ask them to look up the whereabouts of her mentor and his wife. If Jin wanted to hide people from others, she would not find anything even if she hired a private detective.Ling Yiran came to Yi Group’s building. When she was reaching Yi Jinli's office, she saw Gao Congming walking toward the door with a stack of documents."Secretary Gao!" shouted Ling Yiran as she stopped him.Gao Congming stopped in his tracks and lo
"Where on earth are you keeping my mentor and his wife?" asked Ling Yiran."What's the matter? Have you come to question me?" His eyes instantly turned cold."Mrs. Kang has a fever. At her age, a minor fever may cause all kinds of diseases. Jin, even if you want Mrs. Kang to atone for her sins, get a doctor for her first," said Ling Yiran.Yi Jinli got up and walked over to her. "What's the matter? Do you think I locked them away?""Didn't you?" she asked."I just found them a place where that woman can repent. Your mentor can leave whenever he wants. As for the person I once called my mother, she can also leave if she wants to—but her only option outside is prison.”As Yi Jinli said this, he bent over slightly and stared at Ling Yiran with a half-smile on his face as if he was mocking her.Ling Yiran froze, suddenly realizing why her mentor had not left. He was afraid that if he did leave to get a doctor or report to the police, Jin would send Mrs. Kang straight to prison.Jin
Someone seemed to be sobbing in the dark.'Who is it? Who's crying?'She tried desperately to push through the darkness and finally found a child sobbing non-stop.It was a beautiful child with fair tender skin, black hair, and delicate features just like her favorite doll when she was little. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were especially attractive.'Is this... Lil Mo? No, it's not Lil Mo. It's Jin. Was this Jin when he was little?'Jin was wearing the same outfit she once saw in his photo album!She ran up to him as fast as she could and held him in her arms. "Stop crying. Jin, stop crying!" She heard her voice say, then she heard the young voice saying..."Ouch! It hurts!"'It hurts?'"Where does it hurt?" she asked immediately. Then, she saw a great surge of red seeping out of the clothes on his chest. The bloodstain only grew bigger.It was blood! He was bleeding!Almost subconsciously, she pressed her hands to his chest, trying to keep the blood from seeping out s
Mrs. Kang had a fever! However, Ling Yiran had no idea what was going on, let alone where her mentor and his wife were!Just then, a voice suddenly rang in her ears. “Did you have a nightmare?'Ling Yiran instantly froze, only feeling a shadow approaching her. She stared blankly at the person in front of her. It was Jin!However, the room was dim at the moment. She could only see his figure but not his expression."What did you dream about?" he asked."N-Nothing. I don't remember much," she said vaguely.'Really?' His eyes glimmered in the dark. He raised his hand to gently stroke her cheek. He knew what she had dreamt about.She dreamed of him, that woman, and her mentor.He could hear her calling his name, her mentor’s name, and... that woman’s name in her dream!"I'm sorry I woke you up. I'll go wash my face," said Ling Yiran as she threw off the covers and went to the bathroom.She closed the bathroom door and looked at the mirror in front of the sink. Looking at the refl
