“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
The driver immediately turned around and headed for the hospital.When Yi Jinli arrived at the hospital, they were still rescuing Master Yi. Yi Jinli stood outside the emergency room with an indescribable complicated feeling.No matter how strong a man was, he would still struggle at such times.In his eyes, his grandfather was strong, cruel, and cold. It seemed that he was only affectionate to his son who had lived a short life.Everyone else seemed to be just pawns to him, including him, his grandson!Master Yi only regarded him as the future successor of the Yi family all this time, not as his grandson. In fact, there was no grandfather and grandson bond between them.Two hours passed before the door of the emergency room opened. "We've managed to save him. But Master Yi is old, and he had undergone a few operations earlier. Now it's just a matter of how long we can drag this out. At best, maybe a few years. At worst, maybe a few months," the doctor said to Yi Jinli after he c
The men of the Yi family should never fall in love with a woman."You..." Master Yi's face was contorted with anger. This was obviously bad for a man who had just been rescued from death only two days before.However, Yi Jinli did not want to appease the old man. Instead, he said lightly, "Grandfather, since I’ve already said so to your face today, then it means that I can definitely protect her. The doctor has already said, if you take care of your body well, you might get to live for a few more years."Master Yi seemed to laugh in anger. "Alright, it’s no wonder you're my grandson. It seems that you really have feelings for that woman. Have you forgotten your father's example? Are you going to follow in your father's footsteps?""Even if I do love a woman, I won’t let that woman run my life," he replied."Your father said the same thing at the beginning, but look at what happened! He lost his life for a woman!" Master Yi said mockingly."I'm not him!" Yi Jinli said coldly. He s
"Tell me, what will Ling Yiran think if she finds out the truth someday?" Master Yi said.Yi Jinli suddenly smiled, but his eyes were cold. "She'll never know the truth."Master Yi grunted. "Do you think that's possible? Now that I know, I'm sure one day, she'll also..."He did not get to finish his sentence before he was interrupted by Yi Jinli. "She'll never know. Right, Grandfather?"His cold voice spoke at a volume that only the two of them could hear. Master Yi saw a threatening flash in his grandson's eyes.This grandson of his even dared to threaten him for the sake of a woman? An uneasy feeling welled up in Master Yi's heart.Would it be true that in the future, his grandson would not be controlled by a woman?Could things get worse?-Over the weekend, Ling Yiran rode the bus to the hospital where her grandmother was.Grandmother's ward, however, was crowded with relatives. When they saw Ling Yiran, their faces were filled with all sorts of expressions.Especially h
