The little girl's expression changed, and Ling Yiran added, "In that case, you’ll also be an ex-convict! Besides, Lil Yan's mom was in jail because she was wronged by bad people. But this time, you’ll be going to jail because you made a threat, not because someone wronged you.”She was a nine-year-old girl, after all. Even if she was arrogant and stubborn, she was scared now. She stomped her feet and left angrily.Ling Yiran turned to look at Lil Yan in front of her and rubbed his head. "If I hadn't seen that, were you really going to give in to that girl?"Zhuo Yan said nothing, but his face flushed. It was admission to Ling Yiran's words.Ling Yiran said, "You should never forget that I'm here for you. I know you want to protect your mom, but you're still young. So let me know if you're ever in trouble and I'll figure something out. I'll protect your mommy with you, okay?"Zhuo Yan's eyes reddened, and he nodded after a long pause.Ling Yiran looked at the time. It was almost t
Zheng Yahui was surprised when she heard that her former stepson was going to be in the first grade. "Well... Is Lil Ci going to be in the first grade? Why don't you just transfer Zixin to another school? Shen City's Foreign Language Primary School is a great primary school..."Zheng Yahui began to ramble on about He Zixin and Lil Ci studying in Foreign Language Primary School. Then, her son could study there too."When the time comes, we'll just move somewhere near Foreign Language Primary School so it's convenient for the kids to get to and fro from school. We'll be able to take better care of them too. Don't you think so, Mrs. Yi?"Ling Yiran looked at Zheng Yahui with a half-smile. She knew what she was up to. Foreign Language Primary School was an aristocratic primary school in Shen City, where many rich and powerful families sent their children to study.With tuition fees running at hundreds of thousands of yuan a year and houses in the neighborhood being ridiculously expensi
In the mourning hall of Yi Residence, Yi Jinli looked at his father's memorial tablet in front of him with a touch of bitterness at the corner of his lips. "Dad, I'm sorry. I thought I would never forgive that woman and have her die to atone for her sins, but I love Yiran so much that I don't want her to suffer. So forgive me, Dad!"Holding the lit incense sticks, he respectfully bowed three times to his father's memorial tablet before inserting them in the burner and turning around to leave the mourning hall.When he got back to the main house, Uncle Kwan said, "Young Master Yi, Young Madam brought Young Master Mo, Second Young Master, and Young Lady out on a trip.""Okay, I got it," Yi Jinli said without further questioning. They had agreed at the beginning to never let him know if she was taking the children to see that woman.That was exactly what she did. She just told him they were going on a trip.'Maybe this is for the best,' Yi Jinli thought to himself.Outside a kinderg
"I understand that. I understand!" said Mrs. Kang as her nasal voice broke a little. "I'm content with the ways things are now. I... I don't expect Jinli to forgive me and see me. I know it's already the biggest compromise for him to spare me."Old Lawyer Kang patted his wife on the shoulder and comforted her. "Alright, don't be upset. Yiran brought her kids to see you today. That's something to be happy about!""Yes... Yes, it's a happy occasion!" Mrs. Kang immediately said and cheered up. "I'm going to make the kids some delicious food and take them to some interesting places in L City."The three children had very different personalities. Yi Qianjin and Mrs. Kang were the closest, so she kept clinging to Mrs. Kang. Meanwhile, the boys Yi Qianmo and Yi Qianci, remained silent in the living room.Of course, strictly speaking, Yi Qianmo was watching Yi Qianci. Yi Qianci looked totally dazed, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.Ling Yiran knew that Lil Ci was different
Um... He was indeed ‘obedient’! Ling Yiran could not help smiling.After seeing Yi Qianci making a video call, Yi Qianjin also wanted to call her dad and Hao Jifei."Be good now. Coming here is our little secret. Didn't we agree on keeping this from Daddy for a while? How about this? I'll call Uncle Kwan and ask him to get Lil Fei to have a video call with you,” said Ling Yiran.She had an agreement with the children not to tell Jin about coming here. As for Mrs. Kang's real identity as their grandmother, Ling Yiran planned to tell them when they were older.After all, there was more to it than what a few words could explain.Therefore, Yi Qianjin soon held Ling Yiran's phone and had a video call with Hao Jifei.Ling Yiran then asked her oldest son, "Is there anyone you want to video call? … Except Daddy, of course."The little one shook his head. He did not have anyone in particular that he wanted to have a video call with. He could not understand why Lil Ci and Lil Jin were so
...Qin Lianyi had been having the time of her life these days. She would accompany her parents around J City during the day as if they were here for a holiday. She even made them a travel itinerary.If it were not for the fact that she was pregnant and could not exhaust herself, she would have gone with her parents to various tourist attractions in J City.She had also become a regular to Bai Tingxin's office. No one would stop her now. Even her access to Bai Tingxin's office became unimpeded."Miss Qin, Mr. Bai is having a meeting. He said you can go and wait for him in his office if you’re here," the secretary said.As soon as Qin Lianyi entered the office and put down her bag, her phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Bai Yulai.Speaking of which, she and Bai Yulai had not talked to each other for quite a while. However, she had texted him when she came to J City to find Tingxin. He even expressed his wishes that she and Tingxin could make up wit
"What do you think?" he asked nonchalantly."Well... We met on a blind date, but we're just friends. Even though... we did go on dates with marriage as the end goal, we didn't do anything intimate..." Her voice grew quieter under his gaze.'Come on. Why do I feel guilty?' Qin Lianyi thought to herself as she bit her lip.She was single then, so there was nothing wrong with going on a blind date!Besides, she and Bai Yulai had never done anything that crossed the line."Is that so? Does that mean you have never even held hands with him?" Bai Tingxin's voice lazily rang out in her ears."Yep," she answered.The next moment, he was breathing on her cheek, and that handsome face was magnified before her. "Tingxin, what... What are you doing?" she asked in a stammer.He ran his fingers gently over her chin. "You’ve never been this close either?""... Yeah." Her face flushed slightly.His lips were close to her ear while his warm breath sprayed on her ear.Qin Lianyi only felt t
Bai Tingxin frowned. "What, were you hoping to do other things as well?”"..." 'Uh... forget I said anything.'As a result, Bai Tingxin spent the rest of the morning discussing with Qin Lianyi the distance she should maintain with her idols.In the afternoon, Qin Lianyi continued to stay in Bai Tingxin's office. She ate snacks and drank bird's nest. She was having the time of her life.The senior executives and secretaries who often made trips to the president's office had also gotten used to it. They were even respectful to Qin Lianyi. Anyone could see that she was probably the future mistress of the Bai family.When people finally stopped going in or out of the office, Qin Lianyi suddenly stopped. She seemed to stiffen and look down at her belly in disbelief."What's the matter?" Bai Tingxin immediately noticed her strange behavior.Even though he was working, he would look at her from time to time and keep an eye on her.Qin Lianyi looked up at Bai Tingxin while blinking.
