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.
The number of netizens interested in the topic increased and the post went viral.Qin Lianyi gaped at the post. Although the post did not name anyone, they had uncovered everything about her and Bai Tingxin. Besides, the post was now so viral but Bai Yulai did not deny anything, seemingly acknowledging what the netizens had uncovered.Qin Lianyi could not help recalling Bai Yulai's strange phone call today. 'Was he apologizing... for this?'But... the baby in my belly has nothing to do with Bai Yulai. Why would he say that?'Ling Yiran looked up and saw Bai Tingxin also holding a phone while looking at the trending post. His beautiful face seemed gloomy.Qin Lianyi's heart suddenly seemed to have skipped a beat."Tingxin... The baby in my belly really isn't Bai Yulai's. I swear nothing's going on between us..." Qin Lianyi eagerly tried to explain.However, Bai Tingxin only looked up at the secretary and said, "Go out and reject whoever is asking for an interview. Also, tell th
"I won't misunderstand. I know the baby in your belly must be mine, and you won't have that kind of relationship with Bai Yulai either," said Bai Tingxin as he bent over and caressed Qin Lianyi's face."Are you sure... you won't misunderstand?" she muttered.He said, "Yes, because I'm the only one you love, aren't I?"When Qin Lianyi heard that, she suddenly cried and embraced Bai Tingxin's neck. She started crying on his shoulder. "I... I only love you... Tingxin, you... You're the only one I've ever loved. I... I’ve never been intimate with anyone. I never... Never..."She cried like a child.He soothed her gently. "Okay, okay. I understand. You don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it, and I won't let you suffer this undeserved injustice. Stop crying. Didn't the doctor say your greatest task now is to be happy? It'll be good for the baby."Upon hearing the mention of the baby in the belly, Qin Lianyi hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll stop crying... I’ll stop crying
