If Gao Manlin had asked Young Master Yi to stab himself, he would probably have done it without hesitation.Gao Congming walked out of the ward, leaving only Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli inside.Even though the doctor had told Ling Yiran to stay in bed and rest as much as possible, she still got down from her bed and walked to Yi Jinli's bedside. Then, she sat in the soft chair beside the bed and quietly watched him.He was alive, but he was seriously injured. He got all these wounds because of her!However, as long as he was alive, that was all that mattered to her.Ling Yiran raised her hand and caressed Yi Jinli's hand that was by his side.His hands were also wrapped in gauze. He held her hand so tightly. He could have been safe if he had let her go, but he gave up the rope ladder and held her hand with both hands instead. It was tantamount to giving up his life just so he could be with her, regardless of life or death. Ling Yiran gently held his hand when she suddenly felt hi
Ling Yiran's eyes instantly widened as she thought of the moment her hand was about to slip between his fingers after the building exploded. He had said... "Ling Yiran, how could you... How could you do this again? If... you’re gone, how can I live..."'What does he mean by saying again? Does he remember...'Ling Yiran shuddered as a touch of disbelief flashed across her eyes. She was scared that she was overthinking it when it was not the case at all...As if seeing the confusion in her eyes, he said, "You chose to fall into the sea at the cliff back then to save me. I couldn't hold your hand at the time, so I didn't save you. This time, I had to grab your hand. I’ll always hold your hand and never let go!"Ling Yiran stared blankly at Yi Jinli as her eyes reddened. 'So he has really regained his memory? Does he remember the truth of why I fell into the sea?'Yi Jinli took Ling Yiran's hand with some difficulty, placed her hand on his cheek, and rubbed it gently.His movements w
The Yi family deliberately kept the two little ones from finding out about the accident. They also brought the children back to the mansion and asked Yi Qianmo, Yi Qianjin, and Hao Jifei to stay there for a few days. They said the kindergarten had to close for renovation.Even if the kindergarten did not need any renovation, the Yi family had ways to make them renovate their premises.However, Yi Qianmo got past the firewall that the mansion had set up to stop them from accessing certain news. He found out about the explosion and his parents were now in hospital.Yi Qianmo could not accept it anymore and insisted on going to the hospital to visit his parents.Yi Qianjin also insisted like Yi Qianmo after finding out about it. She had already packed her backpack, wanting to go to the hospital to take care of her parents.The two little ones gave Uncle Kwan a big headache. Eventually, he asked Yi Jinli if he could bring the two little bosses to the hospital.Yi Jinli looked at Ling
At this moment, their son was snuggled up in Ling Yiran's arms. He blew on her neck, asking, "Will it stop hurting if I do this?"Her son's actions melted Ling Yiran's heart, and she nodded, "Uh-huh, it doesn't hurt anymore.""I’ll protect you from now on. I’ll beat up the bad guys so that you won't get hurt again," said Yi Qianmo.Ling Yiran smiled and kissed her son on the cheek. The little one instantly blushed slightly, but he did not leave Ling Yiran's arms. His two small arms wrapped themselves around Ling Yiran's waist, and then he laid his face in her arms.It was his mother's smell. He was going to protect her!Yi Jinli would have taken his son straight out of Ling Yiran's arms if he were not injured and still had an IV drip attached to one hand.The two wanted to spend the night at the hospital with their parents. Yi Qianjin even said she would take good care of her parents and not go to kindergarten until they were discharged from the hospital.It took Ling Yiran a lo
It was because she knew how hard it was.Lil Ci's past was different from that of ordinary children. Secretary Wang's method of education was to completely destroy a child's innocence.Fortunately, Lil Ci met He Zixin. The little girl had given Lil Ci warmth and something to hold on to.Apart from He Zixin it was difficult for Lil Ci to open his heart up to others. However, Lil Ci was worried about her and Jin after seeing the news. Did that mean that they were slowly starting to have a place in Lil Ci's heart?Maybe Lil Ci would accept them one day.Ling Yiran walked up to Lil Ci and crouched down with her eyes looking straight into the little one’s eyes. "I'm happy that you came to see us."Confusion flickered in the little one's eyes as if he was wondering why the one he should call Mommy was happy.'Wasn't she hurt? Shouldn't she be sad?'He slightly raised his hands toward Ling Yiran's neck. He Zixin wanted to stop him, but it was too late.His small hands grasped Ling
Ling Yiran froze and realized that the woman he was talking about was ‘Mrs. Kang’ from before she was disfigured.She had seen a photo of his mother when she was young, and Lil Ci did look like her. He might look even more like her in a few years."Jin, Lil Ci is our child no matter how much you hate Mrs. Kang. Don't..." Ling Yiran paused as if she was choosing her words.Yi Jinli went ahead and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to take my anger out on our children. Lil Ci is the child you fought so hard to give birth to. All three children are precious to me."Ling Yiran was relieved to hear that. She hesitated for a moment and said, "My mentor and his wife saw the news and called to ask about it. Mrs. Kang even wants to come back to Shen City to see you, not caring about what would happen to her. Jin, I think not a day goes by that Mrs. Kang doesn't regret it. Perhaps she wants to make up for her mistakes with her life.""Even if she dies, she can't make up for it." Yi Jinli's v
She even chose to give up her life for him. The woman loved him with her life! Fortunately, it was not too late for him to know that.His heart that had been uneasy and suspicious before was unprecedentedly calm now because he knew that the woman he loved loved him back!...Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli were still in the hospital ward when Qin Lianyi was discharged.Ling Yiran could be discharged too, but since Yi Jinli still needed to be hospitalized for a while, Ling Yiran stayed in the hospital to take care of him.Although Gao Congming had arranged professional caretakers, Ling Yiran preferred to take care of Yi Jinli herself, so she cooperated with the caretakers to do whatever she could.When Qin Lianyi came to Ling Yiran and told her she was going to J City to find Bai Tingxin, Ling Yiran showed a look of understanding.After all, after hearing what Gao Manlin had said, she knew how much Bai Tingxin loved her best friend. It would be a lifelong regret if Lianyi missed a man li
At that moment, he realized that he would always forgive her!He was only saying it when he said he would not forgive her before this. He could never do it!Ling Yiran instantly felt awkward, knowing that Yi Jinli was recalling what had happened between them before. Therefore, she said, "Jin, let's not have any more misunderstandings!"Just like the misunderstanding between Lianyi and Bai Tingxin. If Gao Manlin had not been so smug as to tell Lianyi, would Lianyi forever be in the dark and lose Bai Tingxin for good?Sometimes, maybe even the most passionate love was no match for a misunderstanding.She did not want her and Jin to encounter the same situation. It would be utterly unfortunate and ridiculous if they lost each other because of a misunderstanding.Yi Jinli replied, "Okay, no more misunderstandings between us!"...Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, and Qin Lianyi got on the high-speed rail to J City. Qin Lianyi was anxious during the entire trip.Almost every time she closed her e
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
