The neighbors were beaming as they received the wedding candies. They all crowded to Zhuo Qianyun's store and congratulated her."Qianyun, you found a good husband. He's rich!""Congratulations! I heard your husband say that you two separated for years because of an accident, and he kept saying that he did you and Lil Yan wrong by letting you raise Lil Yan by yourself. After all that hard work, you're going to have a good life now.""This groom is so handsome. No wonder Lil Yan is so good-looking. He took after his father!"Zhuo Qianyun could only smile dryly as the neighbors congratulated her. Mrs. Zhuo smiled less reluctantly. After all, the neighbors would gossip less after Ye Wenming did this.Once the firecrackers finished sounding and they were done distributing the wedding candies, it was just about time for school to be over. As soon as Zhuo Yan left the school, he saw his father standing at the store’s entrance while their neighbors congratulated his parents.A classmat
"Okay," Ye Wenming replied respectfully.Mrs. Zhuo made dinner. She prepared four dishes and a soup, all of which were pretty good.The small square table seemed to be more crowded than usual because Ye Wenming was joining them.As they ate, Mrs. Zhuo said, "After what happened today, the whole neighborhood knows that you're married now, so don't do it again. Besides that, are you okay with the baby in Qianyun's belly taking the last name Zhuo?"Ye Wenming's eyes glimmered slightly as he clenched his hand holding the chopsticks. 'Taking the last name Zhuo...'"Yes," said Ye Wenming."And have you spoken to your family about your marriage?" Mrs. Zhuo asked again."I can decide my own marriage. I'll talk to my family about it when I have the chance," said Ye Wenming."Okay, I don't want your family to object and give my daughter trouble," said Mrs. Zhuo.Ye Wenming nodded. "I won't let my family members give Qianyun trouble, of course."After the meal, Ye Wenming took the initi
Life went on as usual. However, ever since Ye Wenming set off the firecrackers and distributed wedding candies, Zhuo Qianyun could distinctly feel the change in her neighbors' gaze.Perhaps that was the way people were. She would divorce Ye Wenming after the baby was one year old. Then, she would move to another place once Lil Yan went to junior high.A divorced woman with two children would have a better reputation than an unmarried woman with two children.It was ridiculous. She had never cared much about reputation.However, reality forced her to.While Zhuo Qianyun was contemplating what she could do after her son graduated from primary school, a black Maybach pulled up at the store’s entrance.A woman in a modified cheongsam stepped out.It was an elderly in her 60s. She also wore a fall-season cloak. Her hair was in an updo while she wore delicate makeup. She looked dignified and graceful.Zhuo Qianyun shuddered as she recognized her.She was the matriarch of the Ye fami
Just then, another car came suddenly. Ye Wenming rushed out of it. As soon as he saw his mother grabbing Zhuo Qianyun, he immediately came forward and asked, "Mom, what are you doing here? What have you said to Qianyun?"With that said, he looked nervously at Zhuo Qianyun ."Whatever my mother says, don't take it to heart." He seemed afraid that his mother had said something to upset her.Madam Ye's face darkened. "Don't worry. I didn't say anything upsetting to Qianyun."Ye Wenming was skeptical, but Zhuo Qianyun said, "It's true. Your mother didn't say anything."Ye Wenming seemed relieved. "Mom, what are you doing here...""I'm only here to visit my daughter-in-law. You didn't tell us that you've gotten married. Qianyun's pregnant right now, so it's inconvenient for her to have a wedding ceremony. Once the baby is born and Qianyun has recovered, we'll—"However, Zhuo Qianyun interrupted Madam Ye before she could finish. "There won't be a wedding."Madam Ye froze. Then, she smi
Maybe this was what happened when you loved someone.You would just fall in deeper and deeper. If that person did not love you, it felt like the end of the world....Ye Wenming came to the Yi family’s house at night.Ling Yiran looked surprised when she heard what the butler informed her. "Ye Wenming is here?""Yes, he said he wants to meet Young Master Yi. Besides, he seems to have had some drinks. He reeks of alcohol," the butler said.Yi Jinli pondered for a moment and said, "Let him in." Then, he showed up in front of Ling Yiran. "I'm going to see what's up with him for coming over so late.""Okay." Ling Yiran nodded. After all, she was curious about Ye Wenming's sudden arrival.Could something have happened between him and Sis Zhuo again?Ye Wenming walked into the Yi family's living room with a bottle of wine. Watching Yi Jinli walk down the stairs, Ye Wenming raised the bottle of wine in his hand and said, "How about having a drink with me?"Yi Jinli raised his eyebro
"Yeah... We're married... Married..." mumbled Ye Wenming as he took another swig of wine.He drank one glass after another, while Yi Jinli had only taken one or two sips. Finally, Ye Wenming passed out on the couch. However, even though he was drunk, he was still shouting out Zhuo Qianyun's name.Ling Yiran only saw the drunk Ye Wenming when she walked to the living room."What did he want with you?" asked Ling Yiran."To vent his grievances, I guess. He and Zhuo Qianyun had already received a marriage license, but he probably felt more miserable because of this." Yi Jinli looked grimly at Ye Wenming.Ling Yiran also said emotionally, "He and Sis Zhuo could have been a happy couple. If he hadn't forced Sis Zhuo to kneel to Kong Ziyin, perhaps he and Sis Zhuo might not be where they are today. Perhaps... they might’ve been able to get back together when he reversed Sis Zhuo's case." "Yes, people might be consigned to eternal damnation with only one mistake," Yi Jinli murmured whe
"I'll have someone else take them," he said. He had already taken off his shirt, and the look in his eyes was all the more captivating.Ling Yiran could not help gulping. "But... But I...""Are you sure you don't want it?" He bent over, and his beautiful face magnified in front of her while his warm breath sprinkled onto her face.Just like everyone, she could not control herself in front of a beauty. She eventually surrendered to his good looks. It seemed that she could not resist him...Ling Yiran put her hands around Yi Jinli's neck and kissed his lips to show that she wanted it....When Ye Wenming woke up the next day, Ling Yiran said to him, "I don't care what will happen to you and Sis Zhuo in the future, but I won't spare you if you hurt Sis Zhuo."Ye Wenming looked at her indifferently. "If that ever happens one day, you won't have to do anything. I won't spare myself either."She was silent.Ye Wenming turned to leave but suddenly stopped.He asked, "Ling Yiran, w
Zhuo Qianyun froze and looked at Ye Wenming with a puzzled face."I just want to know... whether you're willing to trust me again? Will you believe every word I say?""Does it matter whether I trust you or not?" Zhuo Qianyun asked flatly."Yes," he said with great certainty.Zhuo Qianyun said, "Okay then. I trust you. I trust that you’ll do as you promised. Just like how we got a marriage license after you agreed to marry me. You also agreed to divorce me in the future, so I reckon you’ll keep your word then as well.”Ye Wenming's heart that had just felt joy sank again.One moment, he was happy that she said she trusted him. However, he felt as if he had been sent to hell the next moment."Do you believe I love you, then?" Ye Wenming asked with trembling lips.Zhuo Qianyun looked at him with some shock. It was as if she was wondering why he had suddenly brought this up again.Just then, the staff member handling their birth permission certificate called Zhuo Qianyun to collec
