"Unlike normal people, I can't hear without the hearing aid, so I'm deaf," Lil Yan said indifferently. His indifference pricked Zhuo Qianyun's heart.It was as if her son had been hurt by the discrimination against the disabled that he had resigned to calling himself deaf."Then I'll be deaf too, so I'll be the same as Brother Yan!" the little one said. Her dark eyes were still full of tears, and her face was streaked with wet tears. Even so, she spoke so seriously.Zhuo Yan's heart suddenly throbbed as if something had touched his heart.The little one was only three years old and had no idea what it meant not to hear!If he took the hearing aid off, the whole world would be silent and the silence was scary!It was as if he was the only person left in the world!"Don't be like me. You'll be looked down on if you're like me," said Zhuo Yan."I'm not afraid. I'll beat people up if anyone bullies Brother Yan!" Little Nianan sniffled but behaved domineeringly.The two contradicto
'Does she know... how much I long for that warmth?'She used to look at him like that when he had not fallen out with her and misunderstood her for hurting Kong Ziyin.Afterward, she looked at him with cold eyes.Ye Wenming stared at the photos on the computer screen as he raised his fingers and gently stroked Zhuo Qianyun's face. "You said we're even and owe each other nothing, but... is that really true? If we don’t owe each other anything, then tell me why I can't get over you?"The eyes of the woman in the photo were bright, but they were not directed at him....After what had happened in the amusement park, Guo Xinli came to the store to see Zhuo Qianyun several times. He brought Little Nianan with him every time because the little one was always asking for Brother Yan."I don't know why this kid loves Lil Yan. She's always asking for Lil Yan when we're at home too. I'm so sorry for bothering you so often," Guo Xinli said with a slight embarrassment."What's there to be s
Zhuo Qianyun looked at her son. "Do you like Nianan very much?"Zhuo Yan said, "Yeah, Nianan's cute. Just like Lil Jin. Perhaps Nianan and Lil Jin would become good friends if they met.""Maybe. Alright, you haven't finished your homework today, have you? Hurry and do your homework," Zhuo Qianyun said to her son.Once Lil Yan went to his room to do his homework, Mrs. Zhuo walked to her daughter and said, "Lil Guo's nice. It's inconvenient for a man to take care of his daughter. You and him...""Mom, are you trying to matchmake us again? Is that why you deliberately asked Lil Guo to stay for dinner today?" Zhuo Qianyun said as she seemed to see through her mother."I just want you two to spend more time together. You'll only have feelings for each other after spending time together," said Mrs. Zhuo.Zhuo Qianyun smiled. She had fallen in love with Ye Wenming at first sight! She always thought she would fall in love with someone at first sight. Otherwise, she would not fall in love
"Ye Wenming, I thought I've made it clear. I thought we agreed not to disturb each other from now on? What are you doing now?""What am I doing?" Ye Wenming laughed bitterly at himself. "I love you too much and can't get over you!""But I don't love you anymore. I got over you a long time ago!" said Zhuo Qianyun as she struggled to push him away, but he still kept a grip on her."So are you going to be with Guo Xinli?" he asked.She glared at him. "Who I'm going to be with is none of your business!"His eyes instantly narrowed, and the look on his face turned cold. "What's so good about a man like Guo Xinli? What can he give you?""What's so bad about a man like him? At least he won't hurt me and send me to prison!" she blurted out.His face instantly paled, and his grip on her loosened.Zhuo Qianyun took the opportunity to shove Ye Wenming away and hurried out of the car. Just as she was about to make a quick getaway, Ye Wenming's voice rang out behind her. "Qianyun, you can't
He got his men to investigate the situation in Lil Yan’s school and learned that many students discriminated against his son because of his hearing issue.Those who discriminated against his son only knew that his son's mother was an ex-convict. Even if he had already reversed the case for Qianyun, many people did not care about whether the court made the wrong judgment and would only continue to discriminate.What made Ye Wenming miserable the most was that he caused these people to discriminate against Zhuo Qianyun and Lil Yan."I asked you to check on Kong Ziyin. How is it going?" After reading the information, Ye Wenming slowly asked the person in front of him."Kong Ziyin has been released from prison and arrived in Shen City a few days ago. We haven't found out her specific whereabouts, but she's probably still in Shen City," they said.Ye Wenming's eyes grew cold. "Then find her. Find this person for me even if you have to flip Shen City around!"'It's all because of this
"Go away," Guo Xinli said with a chuckle.'My future wife... Speaking of which, Qianyun is indeed a good woman. Life would probably be better if I lived with a woman like that.'However, he also knew that Qianyun only considered him as a friend. The one who truly occupied Qianyun's heart was the person called Ye Wenming!Her heart was only as dead as ashes because Ye Wenming had hurt her too deeply!Guo Xinli was thinking about it when he heard a staff member shouting at the shop’s entrance, "Can I help you, Sir?"He looked up and instantly froze when he saw the tall figure entering the shop.'That's... Ye Wenming!'Even after so many years, Guo Xinli could still recognize him at a glance. After all, a man with such good looks was unforgettable.Ye Wenming walked up to Guo Xinli and looked coldly at the man in front of him. His chest was filled with gloom, and he felt a pricking sensation as he thought of Qianyun and Guo Xinli walking out of the market while talking and laughin
Ye Wenming frowned even more and sneered. "What's the matter? Do you want to be with her?"Guo Xinli said, "It's none of your business whether I want to be with her, Mr. Ye. I'm single, and she's single. It's up to me and her whether we want to be with each other."Ye Wenming's expression changed slightly. Zhuo Qianyun had said something similar. She said whether or not she got together with Guo Xinli was up to her. For a moment, it was as if he had been cast aside from them.Ye Wenming suddenly got up and grabbed Guo Xinli's collar. "I'm telling you, you can forget about being with Qianyun!""Is it because you love her?" asked Guo Xinli.Ye Wenming's face was cold as he pursed his lips without saying a word."If you love her, why make her live such a hard life? Don't you know how tiring it is for a woman to run a small store while looking after an elderly mother and a small child?” asked Guo Xinli.Ye Wenming's face became more gloomy, and his fingers on Guo Xinli's collar cl
She could not give her son much, so this was all she could do for him.Lil Yan also put in the effort to learn. He knew his mother worked hard to pay for his fees here. He also knew that he could only better protect himself, his mother, and his grandmother when he was stronger.However, he unexpectedly met a few classmates who previously bullied him in school at the taekwondo training institute.They were in different classes, so they did not run into each other the first few times.Several of them surrounded him."I wondered why you look so familiar. It turned out it's you, Zhuo Yan! You must be proud that you made me quit school!" His eyes were full of malice as he spoke."Hu Minghui, what do you want?" said Zhuo Yan as he looked around warily.They were in the changing room. He had stayed back for training today, so he came in late to change his clothes. Other than him, the rest seemed to be on Hu Minghui's side.His grandmother was waiting for him outside, and there were ot
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
