Ling Yiran hurriedly got down from the bed. “I’ll... go and wash up,” she uttered out before rushing into the washroom.Yi Jinli’s gaze darkened as he watched the back view of Ling Yiran running away.-Inside the washroom, Ling Yiran looked at her blushing red face and sighed.She could not bring herself to believe what Yi Jinli told her earlier. ‘I... pressed him down and kissed him?‘How could such a thing happen!’However, she hesitated. Was it truly impossible? Even she did not know what sort of things her drunk self would do.‘If what Yi Jinli said is true, then I...’The possibility of that gave her the urge to bury herself alive.She hurriedly washed up and exited the washroom to find that Yi Jinli was still in her house.Right now, he was sitting on a chair and gently sipping on a cup of water. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit. He was a man with broad shoulders and a slim waistline. He had one leg elegantly crossed over the other. He had a handsome face with
For someone like him, the gloves he usually wore should be those custom-made from a luxury brand!He watched her blank stare and added, “Consider it as your thank you gift for me releasing those splendid relatives of yours.”She looked embarrassed. “But I no longer have the measurements.” Back then, she had used a measuring tape to measure the size of his hands.Later, she had no plans of completing the gloves so she threw the paper which recorded those measurements.“If you’ve lost the measurements, then measure again,” he said directly.She had no choice but to take out the measuring tape, sit next to him, and measure the size of his hands.Of course, it was unavoidable for her to be in contact with his hands.Each time the tip of her fingers came in contact with his hand, she would be careful to avoid touching him as much as she could. She would even carefully hold the measuring tape with two fingers at the edge to carefully measure.He chuckled at her actions. “Yesterday yo
In order to rush her work, Ling Yiran simply took her half-knitted gloves and the wool with her. She could knit a little during the afternoon break.When Sis Xu saw Ling Yiran’s knitted gloves, she said curiously, “Are you knitting these for yourself to wear? It seems a little too big, though.”Sis Xu asked, “Is it a gift for someone?” “Uh-huh,” Ling Yiran answered.“This doesn’t look like your size. Are you knitting it for someone else?” Sis Xu guessed.Ling Yiran nodded again.“You haven’t gotten yourself a boyfriend, have you?” Sis Xu spoke again.“No.” She hastily denied.“If you don’t have one, why are you knitting so earnestly? You’re even using your afternoon break to knit.” Sis Xu obviously did not believe her words.Ling Yiran could not do anything about it either. What could she say? She could not say that it was because she was knitting this for Yi Jinli that she wanted to finish it as soon as possible, right?If she really said this, she predicted Sister Xu would
“But no matter how much my qualifications grow, I still can’t catch your eye, right?” he asked.In an instant, it seemed that something had been stuffed into Ling Yiran’s mouth.Guo Xinli gave a self-deprecating laugh immediately after. “Actually, before you said those things, I had already thought of changing my job. After all, working in the Sanitation Service Center, you can predict the rest of your life with just one look. I want to take the chance while I’m still not yet 30 to give myself more of a challenge.”A challenge? If the Ling Yiran from before had been given a choice of an unknown life full of challenges or a steady one that could be fully predicted with just one glance, she was afraid she would have chosen the former.Only after experiencing so many things did she know that stability was actually the most important.Ling Yiran took a deep breath and said, “Actually, what I said to you that day, you really don’t have to mind it too much. I only didn’t want you to spe
Was that man the person she loved?In the end, he did not ask this question.The current him did not have that right. Perhaps in the future, if he really could succeed, then maybe he would have the qualification to stand before her once again…Guo Xinli started the car and left. Ling Yiran walked into her rental home step by step. Before she could even open the door, she saw the lights on in the house.Before she left, she had clearly turned off the lights. Could it be…Ling Yiran shivered. She opened the door right away, and what entered her field of vision was a room full of light as well as Yi Jinli sitting on a chair.“You—” She walked into the house. “It’s so late. Do you have a reason for being here?”“That’s something I should be asking you, Sis. You don’t have overtime today, and you don’t have to be on duty either, so why are you only back so late?” He lifted his eyes slightly, speaking as he evaluated her.“A colleague from the company resigned. Everyone went out for
“Didn’t I used to stay here too in the past? Every night, didn’t we sleep in the same house?” he said calmly.These words sounded… so misleading!Ling Yiran bit her lip. “But now…”“What about now?” he asked.“There’s no spare bedding here. I still have yours from before, but I’ve never washed or hung them. Even if I take those out, I think they’ll have a smell.”“There’s a very simple solution to this.” After Yi Jinli said this, he took out his phone and made a few orders into it.In just a moment, knocks sounded on the door.Ling Yiran went to open the door and saw Gao Congming as well as a few of Yi Jinli’s bodyguards she had met at the hospital before. They were holding blankets, bedsheets, and pillows this time as they walked straight in.Each person who entered even said, “Ms. Lane, sorry for bothering you.”Every single person would come up and say this.The corners of Ling Yiran’s mouth twitched. At this moment, what could she say? It seemed all she could say was just
When times were good back then, she had made noise all day about wanting to lose weight, afraid that she would get fat and not look nice in certain clothes.She did not have to worry about this anymore. She was thin now, and she would no longer worry over whether she would look nice in certain clothes or not. What she would consider now was the price and practicality of the clothes as well as whether or not they were durable.Hence, when she thought about it sometimes, it was really funny.When you want something, you would desperately put in the effort to get it. When you finally get it, you then realize that the things you desperately wanted before were no longer the things the current you want.Ling Yiran laughed self-deprecatingly. Speaking of this, she really could not quite understand just why Yi Jinli would still call her ‘sis’ every time he opened his mouth. It was like he still cared for her and missed the period of time they were together.Was he interested in her?Some
Except he did not wait for her answer before saying, “I’ve hated someone before. Hated that person so very much. I thought hundreds, thousands of times about how if one day I were to find her, how I would take my revenge. I know I want to do it on her birthday. I still feel a little uncomfortable. It seems that my heart can be at peace only when I’m here with you, Sis.”Ling Yiran kept her eyes shut, not speaking. She was pretending to be asleep.He actually hoped that she was asleep too. He did not actually want her to hear these words. This way, Ling Yiran’s act was successful.“Maybe I wish to see her again soon. This way, I can take my revenge, right? No matter where she’s hiding, someday, I will find her and let her experience how being betrayed and tortured by a loved one is like.”His voice continued ringing faintly in the room, except his tone held hostility.Ling Yiran’s body involuntarily trembled slightly. A loved one… Could it be that the person he hated and wanted to
