Qin Lianyi lay down.Zhuo Qianyun asked her mother to look after the store while she got into Ling Yiran's car.Ling Yiran drove while Zhuo Qianyun called Bai Tingxin. "Bai Tingxin? Lianyi's water broke. We're sending her to the hospital...""How is Lianyi doing?" Bai Tingxin asked urgently."She... She's pretty calm right now," said Zhuo Qianyun as she put the phone in front of Qin Lianyi.On the phone, Qin Lianyi said while taking a deep breath, "Tingxin... The... The baby and I will be fine. Don't... Don't worry. Don't... Don't panic when you go to the hospital. Don't drive yourself. Have the driver drive..."She did not forget to warn him. She was afraid he might drive himself and get into an accident if he was distracted."Okay, I got it. Don't be scared. Don't be scared! You have me," said Bai Tingxin, but his trembling voice sounded more scared than Qin Lianyi.Once the call was over, Qin Lianyi continued taking deep breaths to relax, while Zhuo Qianyun kept talking to d
"No way!" Zhuo Qianyun exclaimed.Ling Yiran was a little wobbly. She took a deep breath several times and took out her phone. However, her hands trembled violently as she tried calling Yi Jinli.The call soon got through. As soon as Ling Yiran heard Yi Jinli's voice, she could not help sobbing. "Jin, think... think of a way. Lianyi is having a difficult labor. Many doctors have entered the delivery room. Find every good obstetrician in Shen City. Nothing must happen to Lianyi. No..."She choked as she got to the end of her words.Yi Jinli immediately said, "Okay, stop crying. I'll think of something. Where are you right now?"Ling Yiran gave him the hospital name, and Yi Jinli said, "Wait for me!" With that said, he hurriedly ended the phone call and rushed out of the office, leaving behind a group of people who was in a meeting.The crowd looked at each other, wondering what had happened.Gao Congming hurried out, caught up with Yi Jinli, and said, "Young Master Yi, the meetin
"I went to the store to see you, but Mom said Qin Lianyi's water broke, so you accompanied her to the hospital," said Ye Wenming. He was getting more used to calling her mother ‘Mom’. Zhuo Qianyun answered somewhat difficulty, "Lianyi's having a difficult labor, and she's still in there. Bai Tingxin's accompanying her, and many doctors have gone in."Ye Wenming's face turned solemn when he heard this.The four said nothing and waited outside the delivery room.However, as time went by, the air became more depressed.Sometime later, there was suddenly a piercing roar from the delivery room.The delivery rooms here were soundproof, but they could hear it when they were standing outside. They could imagine how loud it was inside.The four of them froze, and Ling Yiran said nervously, "What happened? That scream... It seems to be Bai Tingxin's voice! Is it..."'Is it Lianyi? Did something happen to Lianyi?'Just then, a doctor rushed out in a hurry and said to Yi Jinli, "Young Ma
Zhuo Qianyun said urgently, "Yiran, do you really believe that this kid can save Lianyi and the baby?" After all, the kid was too young. How could a seven or eight-year-old boy save someone even specialists could not save?"Since the doctor has said that there’s nothing else they can do to save Lianyi, we can only try everything in this moment of despair. Besides... the kid was right about the baby's gender before this. Maybe there's something special about him!" said Ling Yiran. She could only take a bet.Ling Yiran led the little boy to the delivery room, and Zhuo Qianyun followed. The two women entered the delivery room while the two men waited outside.After entering the delivery room, Ling Yiran only saw Bai Tingxin sobbing and shouting Lianyi's name. Qin Lianyi had passed out on the birthing bed with no color on her face. Her big bulging belly was not exuding life but death.The doctors and nurses in the ward saw the three people coming in and were trying to stop them when
"Give her to me," the little boy said to the doctor, who was holding the baby.The doctor hesitated. After all, she had seen the little boy feed the mother blood. She immediately regained consciousness after that and delivered the baby. However... she would be held responsible if something happened after she handed the baby to the child."Give him the baby. I'll take responsibility if anything happens!" said Ling Yiran.After what happened, her faith in the boy had increased. Something told her the boy could save the baby!The doctor then handed the baby to the little boy.The little boy took the baby, lowered his head, and kissed the baby that was not breathing."Ah!" Everyone was taken aback at this sight.The boy's lips pressed against the baby's lips. Upon closer inspection, Ling Yiran realized it was not as simple as just a kiss. Instead, the boy seemed to be sucking something.Finally, his lips parted from the baby, and he spat something out. It was a muddy discharge mi
It did not matter to her, but Sis Zhuo was pregnant. It was bad for her to starve.Zhuo Qianyun said, "I was too nervous to feel hungry myself. But fortunately, Lianyi and the baby are safe now.""Yes, they're safe now," Ling Yiran said with relief.The four of them arrived at a restaurant near the hospital. Ling Yiran and Zhuo Qianyun ordered while Yi Jinli said a few words. Only Ye Wenming was silent from the beginning, and the expression on his face was icy.When Ling Yiran and Zhuo Qianyun went to the bathroom after ordering the food, Ling Yiran asked, "What's the matter? Did you quarrel with Ye Wenming?""No.""Why does Ye Wenming's expression look so grim? He looks like it's the end of the world," said Ling Yiran."He's always serious. Just ignore him," said Zhuo Qianyun.Yi Jinli and Ye Wenming were also chatting in the private room."What's the matter? Are you worried about Zhuo Qianyun after seeing Qin Lianyi's difficult labor?" asked Yi Jinli.Ye Wenming's expressio
Ling Yiran looked at Zhuo Qianyun, then at Ye Wenming. She hesitated.Zhuo Qianyun said, "Alright, someone's taking me home, so why don't you go home first?""Alright, we'll go home, then!" Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli then headed for their car.Zhuo Qianyun followed Ye Wenming to his car.The two got into the car, and Ye Wenming said as he drove, "Are you really going to have the baby?""I want to give birth to this baby. Besides, we haven't had the results from the consultation with the doctor. Maybe it isn't as serious as we think," said Zhuo Qianyun."But haven't you seen what happened to Qin Lianyi today? Didn't you say everything went well with her pregnancy check-ups? But she still had a difficult labor and almost died," said Ye Wenming. Even though it was not Zhuo Qianyun who had a difficult labor, his heart still fluttered with fear.He kept thinking about what he would do if the same situation arose. He was afraid he would end up like Bai Tingxin in the delivery room!"Wha
He just wanted her to live... well!...The next day, Ling Yiran went to the store to pick up Zhuo Qianyun before going to the hospital to visit Qin Lianyi together. However, Qin Lianyi still had not woken up, and Bai Tingxin looked like he had not slept the entire night. He looked somewhat haggard."What did the doctor say? Did they say how long it would take for Lianyi to wake up?" asked Ling Yiran."The doctor isn't sure, but they'll check on her soon," said Bai Tingxin. His hair was unkempt, and there was stubble on his chin.Ling Yiran could only comfort him by saying, "Don't worry. Lianyi will wake up soon. She's probably just too exhausted from giving birth.""Yes, she'll wake up," muttered Bai Tingxin.However, he clenched his hands as he spoke. It was as if he was trying to persuade himself.For some reason, while she was looking at the sleeping Qin Lianyi, Ling Yiran had a bad feeling.Then, Ling Yiran and Zhuo Qianyun went to the neonatal care unit to see Qin Lianyi
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
