"That's all we got from the check-up so far. Some of the stimulants we did were completely ineffective on the patient," the doctor said.Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin cried their eyes out after hearing the result.Bai Tingxin looked stupefied. It was as if there was dead silence in his eyes.However, the more he did that, the more worried Ling Yiran became.Perhaps it would be better if Bai Tingxin cried like Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin. However, Bai Tingxin was suppressing all his emotions in his heart.Ling Yiran was afraid that Bai Tingxin would do something extreme, so she said to him, "Lianyi won't sleep forever. If Shen City's doctors can't cure her, we'll get doctors from all over the country. Or we can get the best doctors in the world. Don't let yourself get depressed. Lianyi and the baby need you.""The baby..." What Ling Yiran said seemed to trigger Bai Tingxin as he suddenly laughed. Then, he said to Ling Yiran, "What do I need this baby for? Lianyi wouldn't be unconscious now if she
...The Yi family, the Bai family, and the Ye family all spent the next few days looking for the little boy. They started from the hospital's surveillance footage to track down the boy’s movements. They almost turned the entire Shen City upside down.However, the boy's final whereabouts could not be found.The little boy also had ways to counter being tracked. After leaving the hospital, he deliberately avoided some of the surveillance cameras.Listening to the news reported by Yi Jinli's staff, Ling Yiran was secretly worried but also blamed herself. "If I had known, I would have held the child's hand and not let go."Then it would not be so difficult to find him.She knew how special that little boy was, yet she did not even know when he left the delivery room.Yi Jinli consoled her. "Don't blame yourself. You were focused on Lianyi and her baby. Besides, we'll find the boy as long as he hasn’t left Shen City!""But I'm afraid the longer we wait, the harder it's gonna be for
With that said, the little boy said to the man in his 40s who was following him, "Uncle Lu, I'd like to go home.""Okay, shall we go, then?" the man called Uncle Lu replied.The two turned around to leave, and Yi Jinli's voice rang faintly. "I'm so sorry, but you can't leave today.""What's the matter? Are you going to stop us?" Uncle Lu asked coldly."Yes," Yi Jinli said bluntly as he looked at the little boy, "You said you refuse. So it's not that you can't save Qin Lianyi but it's because you won't save her, right?"The little boy glared at Yi Jinli as he pressed his little pink lips together tightly."Then tell me what it’ll take for you to save her?" asked Yi Jinli."You're dreaming if you think you can ask our young master to save someone irrelevant. If she wasn’t pregnant with..." Uncle Lu seemed to realize something and immediately stopped speaking.The little boy's childish yet cold voice rang out. "I won't save her. What does it matter to me whether this woman lives o
When the baby appeared, the little boy looked at her."I beg you to save my wife!" said Bai Tingxin. His clothes were wrinkly while his chin was covered with stubble. He had not washed his hair for days either. He looked extremely dejected.His voice was hoarse after not speaking for days."Why should I save her? She's nobody to me," the little boy said indifferently. His indifference seemed to exude from his core. It did not match his age at all."But she's my everything. You showed up and helped my wife deliver our baby that day. Save her again. I'll do anything as long as you’re willing to save her!" Bai Tingxin begged. The boy was his last hope!"I wasn't trying to save her that day. I was saving the baby," the little boy mumbled.Sure enough! The others instantly understood when they heard the boy say this.Zhuo Qianyun suddenly said to the little boy, "Save the baby's mother, then. How sad will the baby be if she has no mother?""Is not having a mother something to be sad
The crowd looked at the boy in surprise.The boy continued mumbling, "If the only way to be with Yiyi is to get married, then I'll marry her when she grows up. She can't marry anyone but me! I'll save her if you agree!""Young Master, do you really want to save her?" Uncle Lu was surprised.The little boy ignored Uncle Lu. He just looked at Bai Tingxin. "Do you agree to that?"Bai Tingxin was shocked.If he agreed, would his daughter have to marry this boy in the future? He knew nothing about the boy. If he agreed, he would bind his daughter to this boy for life.If she did not like him and liked someone else, then he...However, the child before him was his last hope to save Lianyi. He could not let Lianyi become a vegetable and lie on the bed for the rest of her life."Okay! If you can save Lianyi, then I'll let Yiyi marry you after she grows up!" said Bai Tingxin as he gave him his word.The little boy nodded. "Then lead the way!"They hurried to Qin Lianyi's ward with the
He thought he had prepared everything, but there was still a loophole and it was enough to kill Lianyi!Little by little, Qin Lianyi drank the blood.He thought it would take a long time to feed Qin Lianyi the blood but it only took a short while. In the end, Qin Lianyi seemed to be instinctively attracted by the blood as she started swallowing herself even though she was in a coma.After Qin Lianyi finished drinking the blood, Bai Tingxin carefully wiped his wife's lip and looked at her expectantly.Ling Yiran and Zhuo Qianyun seemed to be holding their breaths, fearing that the blood would not work.Although the little boy was considered their last hope, could his blood save Lianyi? They could not be sure until they saw Lianyi wake up.Fortunately, after about ten minutes, Qin Lianyi's eyelashes quivered slightly. Then, she slowly opened her eyes as everyone watched her.There was a look of surprise on Bai Tingxin's face. "Lianyi, you're awake? You're awake!"Qin Lianyi seeme
Even he could not help feeling jealous over how important Qin Lianyi was to her."Jin, thank you!" Ling Yiran said gratefully. She knew he had put the entire Yi family on the line for her when he confronted the Wu family."Yiran, you never have to thank me," muttered Yi Jinli.He would try his best to do everything she wanted!On the other side, Ye Wenming sent Zhuo Qianyun to the store’s entrance. Zhuo Qianyun unbuckled the seatbelt but did not get off immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Ye Wenming. "Thank you for stepping up and helping today." She was referring to Ye Wenming including the Ye family when Yi Jinli threatened the Wu family."Even if I hadn’t done that, the little boy would’ve saved Qin Lianyi anyway," said Ye Wenming.That child cared about Bai Yiyi the most, so everything else was secondary. The little boy would save Qin Lianyi as long as Bai Yiyi cried.Zhuo Qianyun said, "Thank you anyway.” She was about to get out of the car."Qianyun, in this day a
He stared at the person on the hospital bed, not wanting to miss a minute of her. He feared that something might happen to her, but he did not notice anything.Sometime later, Qin Lianyi finally opened her eyes again when the sky outside the window lit up.Bai Tingxin stiffened all of a sudden. He only looked blankly at her eyes that were opened. Tears instantly poured out of his eyes."What's the matter... I... I just took a little nap. Why are you crying..." muttered Qin Lianyi as she raised her hand to wipe away his tears. However, she found that her arms were so sore that she had no energy to lift them.Bai Tingxin put Qin Lianyi's hand on his cheek as he mumbled, "Okay, I won't cry. I won't cry!" He tried to hold back his tears and kissed her hand from the fingertips to the palm."Where's Yiran? Have they gone back?" she asked with some difficulty."Yeah, they went back yesterday. They were up late worrying over you. They'll probably come to the hospital to visit you again i
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
