However, Qin Lianyi only grabbed him harder. "Tingxin, I... I have so much to tell you. Please, just give me a moment. Just a moment.""But I have nothing to say to you," said Bai Tingxin as he withdrew his hand from Qin Lianyi's fingers. Then, he headed straight for the car waiting there.Seeing Bai Tingxin open the door and about to get in, Qin Lianyi instantly shouted, "Bai Tingxin, I love you!"As soon as she said that, not only Bai Tingxin's men but also passersby looked over curiously.However, what disappointed Qin Lianyi was that Bai Tingxin still got in the car and closed the door without a word. He did not even look back.Suddenly, many sympathetic eyes fell on Qin Lianyi. Of course, some were laughing at her. There was even a senior executive shouting at the security guards a few steps away, “What are you doing? Do you allow just anyone to get close to President Bai?"The security guards hurriedly responded and stepped forward to pull Qin Lianyi away.Qin Lianyi stagg
Bai Tingxin did not expect to see Qin Lianyi, who was being stopped by his security guards, when he drove back to the Bai family's residence in the evening.He did not expect her to come here.Qin Lianyi had also seen Bai Tingxin's car and wanted to stop it but the security guards held her back, preventing her from getting close.Another security guard rushed to Bai Tingxin's car. After the window was rolled down, he said, "Mr. Bai, this lady said she's your friend and wants to see you.""I have no such friend. Make her leave!" As soon as Bai Tingxin said this, the car window rolled back up.Bai Tingxin's car drove into the Bai family's residence, and the security guard said to Qin Lianyi, "Mr. Bai said he doesn’t know you. I think you should just go home and stop daydreaming!"The security guard seemed to think of Qin Lianyi as the kind of woman who wanted to approach Bai Tingxin to join a wealthy family. Qin Lianyi seemed embarrassed, but she did not back down. Instead, she t
Qin Lianyi packed up everything and was about to book a taxi to pick her up with her phone when the security guard at the gate stopped her."Miss, Mr. Bai wants to see you. You can go in now." The security guard's voice and expression were far more respectful now.Qin Lianyi froze slightly. Then, surprise and joy flashed across her face. 'Tingxin wants to see me? I can finally talk to him and beg for his forgiveness.'But... will he ever forgive me?'She once again thought of Bai Tingxin’s reaction at Bai Feng Group's entrance. She quickly shook her head and told herself not to overthink. What mattered most now was that... she could see him!Qin Lianyi entered the Bai family's mansion, and a maid led her into the living room. The vast hall was magnificent but somehow gave off a chill.Bai Tingxin was standing in the middle of the living room with his handsome face full of indifference."Everyone, get out. No one can come in without my permission," Bai Tingxin ordered coldly.
Qin Lianyi rushed up to Bai Tingxin and said with a sore nose, "I know you only agreed to Gao Manlin's conditions and chose to break up with me to save me. Five years later, you protected me from Gao Manlin again, and you even had a blood curse on you. Because of the blood curse, you were in excruciating pain every time you touched me. You even let Gao Manlin enter your mansion to get rid of the blood curse..."However, Bai Tingxin was listening indifferently. His expression did not change at all. It was as if her sobs and remorse were meaningless to him."Is that so? So you know." In the end, all she got was such an indifferent response.Qin Lianyi bit her lip. "I went to the mansion to tell you that we could start over that day. But when I saw Gao Manlin leave your mansion, I thought you and her... I didn't know it was because of the blood curse. I misunderstood!"Bai Tingxin murmured, "Yes, you misunderstood. But if you misunderstand things so easily, that means you don't have m
Qin Lianyi instantly felt her hands become empty, and her belly lost the warmth of his palm.'Lost... Am I just going to lose him like this?'"Well, if you wanted to see me just to tell me all this, you can stop coming to look for me. You can contact my secretary if you need anything," said Bai Tingxin."Contact your secretary?" Qin Lianyi was confused for a moment."You can tell the secretary how much child support fee or money you want. I'm fine with it as long as it's not an astronomical amount. As for the baby in your belly, you can give birth or abort them. It’s up to you," Bai Tingxin said without a trace of emotion."I... I'm not doing this for the money..." muttered Qin Lianyi."Does it matter? To sum it up—"Before Bai Tingxin could finish, Qin Lianyi suddenly lunged forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on his tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips.The sudden kiss made Bai Tingxin's body stiffen. He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hands to push her a
Bai Tingxin suddenly quivered and opened his lips almost subconsciously. Her faintly salty tears filled his mouth instantly.Just then, the tip of Qin Lianyi's tongue got into Bai Tingxin's mouth, deepening the kiss.He was caught off guard. Her deep kiss seemed to break down all the defenses he had set up, and she seemed to be tugging all his senses.He could not help but slowly close his eyes even though the blood curse no longer caused him pain whenever she kissed or hugged him.It was as if they had gone back to the beginning when there was nothing but sweetness between them.No pain and no betrayal. She was his everything, and he was the love of her life...When the kiss ended, Bai Tingxin heard Qin Lianyi say with a slight gasp, "Tingxin, you still have feelings for me, don't you? You still love me, don't you?"Bai Tingxin seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He instantly opened his eyes, grabbed her two arms, and pulled them away from his neck."What's the matter?
'Why does she influence my mood so easily?'Bai Tingxin gasped deeply. Then, he closed his eyes and mumbled, "Does she really love me just because she said so? Perhaps all she wants is a legitimate identity for the child."...Qin Lianyi got back to the hotel, where Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were waiting anxiously. When they saw that their daughter had returned, they hurriedly went over and asked, "How was it? Tingxin..."Qin Lianyi said, "He still won't forgive me or accept me. But I won't give up. I'll go look for him again tomorrow."Mr. Qin sighed, while Mrs. Qin looked at her daughter sadly. "But if he keeps refusing to accept you, then you..."She comforted her mother, saying, "Mom, don't worry. I'm not going to go after him shamelessly, take things too hard, or do anything extreme. If Tingxin still won't accept me after I’ve tried everything, then... Then I'll go back to Shen City with you and be a single mother. I'll stay with you and the baby for the rest of my life.""Nonse
After all, any employee in the company who knew about the president's past could all figure out that Qin Lianyi was the president's ex-girlfriend. There were even videos of them online.When reporters surrounded Qin Lianyi and accused her of being a homewrecker, the president took her away. His domineering protectiveness even caused the company’s employees to speculate whether she would marry the president in the end.However, the president came back to J City himself.Hence, many people thought this woman had lost her chance but she came looking for the president again.Qin Lianyi blinked her round eyes as she looked at Bai Tingxin and said, "Well... Why don't we talk in your office? You don't want anyone to know what you have of mine, do you?""What if I don't mind? Tell me what I have of yours," Bai Tingxin snapped."Do you really want me to?" Qin Lianyi hesitated."Go ahead."Therefore, Qin Lianyi cleared her throat and said, "I didn't take the ginger brown sugar as well as
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
