Zhuo Qianyun suddenly laughed. Her laughter grew louder and louder until she began to choke.She took a while to stop choking. The corners of her eyes were still wet with tears. "Ye Wenming, you want me to marry you?" Her voice was sarcastic like she had just heard the best joke.Ye Wenming's face darkened. "Yes, I want you to marry me.""How could you... say that so easily?" The words were almost squeezed through her teeth.He said what she used to long for the most under such circumstances! How could he? How dared he?"I know it was all my fault! Qianyun, not a day went by in the past five years that I don't regret it! I... I'm not asking you to fall in love with me again someday, but... let me take care of you and our son, okay? I want to give you a better life. I don't want anyone to bully you!"Zhuo Qianyun said coldly, "No thanks, Mr. Ye! If you’re asking me to stay to say this, I can tell you this right now. Ye Wenming, I won't marry you!"With that, she turned around to
Zhuo Qianyun shook her head. "No, we only chatted a little."She looked at the time and said to her son, "Alright. Lil Yan, you haven't done your homework, have you? Why don't you go to bed? I'll go to school tomorrow and explain what happened to the teacher. You can do it tomorrow..."Before she could finish, Zhuo Yan said, "I'll go work on my homework!" With that said, he opened his bag to take out his workbook and pencil case. He then said to Zhuo Qianyun, "Mommy, I... I won't get bullied anymore. You don't have to worry about me. I'm a man. It doesn't hurt!"Zhuo Qianyun's eyes watered as she watched her son do his homework as he bent over the small table. His red and swollen face was so obvious under the lights.'It doesn't hurt? How could it not hurt?'Besides, she learned from her mother at the police station that the kids had fought with Lil Yan. Lil Yan was the only one being beaten. He only protected the hearing aid in his ear so that it would not break again.At night,
However, to her disappointment, Ye Wenming did not feel angry after hearing what she said. The only thing that changed was that the disgust in his eyes had become more obvious."Since you want to serve people, I'll arrange for you to serve people," said Ye Wenming.Kong Ziyin's expression changed, and she had a bad feeling. "Ye Wenming, what do you mean by that?""It means... Kong Ziyin, do you think that just because you were in prison for five years, you can wipe the slate clean?" Ye Wenming walked forward, raised his hand, and slapped Kong Ziyin.She was instantly knocked to one side. Blood spilled out of her mouth, while her cheek was red and swollen."Kong Ziyin, the rest of your life will only be worse than your imprisonment," said Ye Wenming.Kong Ziyin angrily wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Ye Wenming's men. She was forced to kneel on the ground."Also, I warn you not to give Zhuo Qianyun trouble. If you dare harm her again, you and even your parents will lead
Looking at the swelling on Lil Yan's face, Ling Yiran was relieved to learn that it was nothing but skin trauma.However, upon the sight of the wounds on Zhuo Yan's face, Yi Qianjin's pretty almond-shaped eyes welled up with tears before she started crying.She shocked everyone there.After all, the one with the red and swollen face had not cried yet, but she, who was not hurt at all, was crying.The little one not only cried but also grabbed Zhuo Yan with both hands."Don't cry. Don't cry!" Zhuo Yan hastened to comfort her.Ling Yiran also said, "What happened? Lil Jin, why are you crying?""I just think... Brother Yan must be in so much pain!" The little one sobbed. It used to hurt so much when her mother hit her on the palm because she did something wrong.However, her palm only reddened a little, unlike Brother Yan's face."It doesn’t hurt. Stop crying," said Zhuo Yan.Yi Qianjin blinked, tears still hanging from her lashes. "Really?""Yeah, it just looks a little red an
Once Hao Jifei returned to Deer City, his status would change dramatically.However, Hao Jifei was still here, and Shen Weifang surprised her by not taking him away by force.Even so, she knew that the boy would return to Deer City one day.Hao Jifei looked a little nervous. He had a feeling Ling Yiran knew his father had come looking for him.However, he never told anyone!"Okay," he answered softly.Once they arrived at Yi Residence, Yi Qianjin took Hao Jifei to the piano room to practice.The huge piano room had become their private domain.Yi Qianjin and Hao Jifei played three pieces by Beethoven.It would have been difficult for even two adults, let alone two children. However, the two cooperated well with each other. Four little hands moved quickly on the piano keys without a single mistake.When they stopped playing, the beautiful sound seemed to still echo throughout the room.Yi Qianjin had a fun time. She turned to Hao Jifei with a smile. "I enjoy playing with you
"I won't lie!" She wrinkled her little nose. Looking at his smile, she suddenly thought he looked so good when he smiled....Lil Yan looked at the man he should call ‘Daddy’!He had just gotten out of school when someone stopped him and took him to a car."What did you say to Mommy the last time you asked her to stay back alone?" asked Zhuo Yan. He would not have gotten in the car to meet the man he hated were it not for this question.Ye Wenming silently looked at his biological son who was looking at him with hostility."I was talking to your mommy about you being bullied, of course," said Ye Wenming.Zhuo Yan snapped. "Don't talk to Mommy about that. It's none of your business whether I'm being bullied!"Back when the man in front of him treated him badly, he had already told himself that he had no father but only a mother."It's none of my business?" Ye Wenming suddenly sneered. "You have half of my blood. Even if you deny it, you’re my son. Besides, you're not even 18 ye
Zhuo Qianyun exclaimed, "Ye Wenming! Why is Lil Yan with you? Where are you now?""I'm showing Lil Yan something and will send him back later," he said.Zhuo Qianyun was silent for a moment before finally saying, "Bring Lil Yan back soon!"After ending the call, Ye Wenming looked at his regretful son. Obviously, the little one felt that he should not have come here without permission as it had made his mother worry."I want to go home!" said Zhuo Yan."Okay," replied Ye Wenming, not intending to keep the little one here.When the car pulled up at Zhuo Qianyun's store, Zhuo Qianyun was already looking at the door. She immediately rushed forward to open the car door when she saw a car pulling up.Once her son got down from the car, Zhuo Qianyun looked carefully at her son, afraid that he was hurt."Did he... do anything to you?" Zhuo Qianyun asked her son.Zhuo Yan shook his head.Zhuo Qianyun finally looked at Ye Wenming. "Mr. Ye, I hope you'll let me know in the future wherev
"See something? What did you see?" Zhuo Qianyun thought of what Ye Wenming said when he left."He just showed me two people having combat training." Lil Yan's eyes lit up at the mention of that. "Well... It's different from taekwondo."Unlike taekwondo, which required a lot of posturing, it was more of a real fight. One could avoid attacks and strike back at one’s opponent hard.Taekwondo... did seem less practical compared to that."Did you like what you saw today? Do you not like taekwondo anymore?" asked Zhuo Qianyun."I can become stronger and protect you better!" Zhuo Yan's young voice said.Zhuo Qianyun's heart broke a little when she heard that. The hardships of life had caused her son to think maturely at such an early age."I know you've always wanted to protect me, but you're still too young to carry such a heavy burden. I'll protect you for now. You'll grow up and protect me when you're old enough, okay?"However, there was still more than a decade to go before her
