'Yeah! We can sneak him out!' Yi Qianjin accepted Yi Qianmo's suggestion and smiled a little. Then, she became frustrated. "But how do we know where Lil Fei's daddy took him? If Daddy and Mommy take us to Lil Fei, they won't let us smuggle Lil Fei back!""Then we'll go by ourselves." Yi Qianmo gave his sister a reassuring look. "I’ll find out where Lil Fei is."Yi Qianjin's eyes were full of trust. "Thank you, Brother!" With that said, she gave him a kiss on the cheek.Yi Qianmo touched his cheek where he was kissed. 'Umm... It feels good to get a kiss from my sister.'Besides, he loved how his sister had looked at him with trusting eyes just now! Since he was the elder brother, he would try his best to help her!...Shen Jifei followed Shen Weifang to the Shen family’s house in Deer City.Although the noble Shen family was wealthy, they had few family members. It had always been a problem for the family. Shen Weifang was also not interested in relationships.Shen Wanguo and Mi
At the end of the corridor was a piano room with an expensive piano in it.Looking at the piano, Shen Jifei's eyes darkened as if he recalled something.Miao Ling said, "What's the matter? Don't you like the piano? I heard from your daddy that you like playing the piano very much, and you play it very well. We prepared this piano room for you. If you don't like this piano, we can go to the piano shop together and you can choose one yourself. We'll buy whichever piano you like."Shen Jifei looked down and said, "No, I'm okay with it."It was just that it reminded him of Lil Jin. From now on, even if he could play the piano in this piano room every day, he could never play it with Lil Jin again.'What about Lil Jin? I'm gone now. Is she going to miss me? Or is she just glad that I'm gone?'"Alright, Lil Fei has just come back. He must be a little tired. Why don't I take him back to his room to rest first?" said Shen Weifang.Hearing this, Shen Wanguo and Miao Ling quickly said, "O
"She's probably just sad that her friend left. She must have calmed down by now and will probably sleep in her own room again in a few days," said Qin Lianyi."I suppose so?"While they were talking, a maid suddenly screamed on the stairway of the second floor.Qin Lianyi looked up and shouted, "What happened?"The maid said, "Something made a small hole in the wall behind this vase."Qin Lianyi and Ling Yiran looked at each other. They quickly walked up the stairs to where the small hole was. It was a hole that looked like it had been shot by something. There was a large vase with a plant here, so it had covered the hole. Therefore, they only saw it now.Ling Yiran crouched down and looked at the plant. Sure enough, one of the leaves had a hole. It was the same size as the hole in the wall.Qin Lianyi asked, "What's going on? Why is there a hole? Who’s in charge of cleaning this?"The maid quickly said, "I am, but I usually just wipe the vase. I would only move it every two
Lil Fei was only five years old. He was still so young...Looking at the remorse on her best friend's face, Qin Lianyi naturally knew what was on her mind. "Alright, it's a good thing if we can clear Lil Fei's name. Don't blame yourself. You've been trying to help Lil Fei find evidence to prove his innocence, haven't you? You should be glad that you have evidence now. He didn't betray your trust.""Yeah, I should. Lil Fei probably is innocent. He didn't push Lil Yan," Ling Yiran murmured.The police soon came out with the results of their investigation, and Lil Yan cooperated with the police. The conclusion was that Lil Yan did not hear the air gun when it was fired, but children with sensitive hearing could.Besides, judging from where the bullet was found and the angle when it was shot, Lil Yan would have been the target due to the spot where he was standing. One could say that Lil Fei had pushed Zhuo Yan toward safety, but Zhuo Yan had subconsciously dodged, which caused him to
"Boo-hoo. Mommy, what should I do? I misunderstood Lil Fei. I don't want him to hate me. I don't want to be unable to see him again. I... I miss him. I want to apologize to him! Boo-hoo..." said Yi Qianjin as she wept. Big teardrops kept falling from her face. Ling Yiran gently hugged her daughter and comforted her gently. "Alright, stop crying. Stop crying. Lil Fei isn't that petty. He'll forgive you if you apologize to him sincerely.""Yes... Yes... I’ll apologize... I’ll apologize to him sincerely..." The little one cried and nodded her little head. She was a little out of breath."I'll take you to Deer City to visit Lil Fei someday. Then you can apologize to him, okay?" said Ling Yiran.Yi Qianjin answered, "Okay. When... When are you taking me? Mommy, I want to see Lil Fei as soon as possible. I want to quickly apologize to him and make up with him!""I have to find out where exactly Lil Fei is staying now and speak to Lil Fei's daddy before we can go over. I'll arrange it a
"My wife, our two children, and I are planning to go to Deer City soon and visit you. You're not going to say no, are you?" said Yi Jinli.Shen Weifang was silent for a while. "I don't want my son to return to Shen City before he even gets familiar with Deer City.""Don't worry. Since he's a member of the Shen family, he should stay in Deer City, of course. I’ll just be bringing the children there to visit him. Nothing will change," said Yi Jinli.Then Shen Weifang said, "Okay, come over anytime."The two men ended the call after setting a date.Shen Weifang came out of the study, looked at the time, and went to the piano room.He knew that his son should be practicing in the piano room at this hour.His son's piano talent was even better than he had expected. Even a famous pianist in Deer City whom he had found for his son had said that he had great talent after listening to his son's performance. Although he was a little weak at emotional expression, he was still young, after
The person took Yi Jinli and the rest to a private room. They respectfully opened the door.However, when Yi Jinli, Ling Yiran, and the rest went in, they found that Shen Weifang was the only one in the private room. Shen Jifei was not there.Yi Qianjin's expression, which had been full of expectation, instantly sank. "Where's Lil Fei? Why isn't he here?" Yi Qianjin asked anxiously."Lil Fei has a class today and can't come, but he knew you were coming and asked me to take good care of you," Shen Weifang replied to Yi Qianjin with a smile.Yi Qianjin said, "Where is he having his class? I'll go to him. I have something to give him in person, and I want to apologize to him. I... I found out he didn't push Brother Yan down the stairs but saved him instead. Otherwise, Brother Yan would have been shot with an air gun."Shen Weifang raised his eyebrows and looked at Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran.Ling Yiran then told Shen Weifang about what exactly had happened. "It's a misunderstanding. Ev
Yi Qianjin looked shocked and was at a loss for words for a long time. Ling Yiran hugged her daughter, feeling sorry for her. Then, she looked at Shen Weifang and said, "Why don't you let me talk to Lil Fei, Mr. Shen? Maybe he'll be willing to meet us afterward.""I don't think that's necessary. Lil Fei might be a child, but he's sensitive. He might need some time to recover from this injustice. I don't want him to suffer any emotional damage if you were to bother him too much. He's my son, and I should protect him, right?" said Shen Weifang."But we mean no harm, Mr. Shen! We just want to tell him the truth and apologize to him," said Ling Yiran."I'll tell him the truth and send him your apologies. I suppose that should be enough," said Shen Weifang before getting up. "I’ve ordered some specialties of Deer City. You should try them since you don't come here often. I have other things to attend to, so I won’t be joining you. You can talk to the restaurant manager if you want to exp
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
