However, the child was Yi Jinli's. Although the Yi family was in Shen City and the Shen family was in Deer City, which meant the two families did not have anything to do with each other, the Shen family did not want to offend the Yi family.Miao Ling glared at her son. "Stop saying such things. Look, you frightened the child."Shen Weifang smiled and said nothing more.Miao Ling stepped forward and comforted Yi Qianjin, saying, "Alright, stop crying. Since you're here to apologize, Jifei will accept your apology. Your parents are coming to pick you up, so go home with them."Miao Ling just wanted to get rid of the little one.She wanted to grab Yi Qianjin, but little one clung to her grandson like taffy. Miao Ling only wanted to separate them.When she pulled a little harder, Yi Qianjin cried louder as if they were going to be parted by death. She shouted, "No, I don't want to part with Lil Fei. I want to be with Lil Fei!"It made Miao Ling feel awkward.Just then, the Shen fam
"This is my favorite box of chocolates and an apology card I wrote. Lil Fei, we’re still best friends, right?" Yi Qianjin said with a deep nasal voice.Shen Jifei looked at the chocolates and apology card in his hand. He suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted.When he opened the apology card, he saw a lot of words written on it.He knew that she hated writing the most. She would get lazy every time the kindergarten teachers and tutors taught her to write. Aunt Ling said she even wrote her own name hideously because she did not like writing.However, she had written all the ugly words on the apology card one by one. There were so many words!Seeing Shen Jifei being silent, Yi Qianjin said a little guiltily, "Is... my handwriting too ugly? I... I tried very hard. Keep this apology card first. I promise I'll work on my writing and make it look good!" She was only six years old, anyway. She would be able to write beautiful words when she grew up!Just then, another voice rang out as it
Yi Qianjin bit her lips as her wet almond-shaped eyes were fixed on him. "Lil Fei... Will you... Will you come back with us?" She was discouraged as she spoke because he had a good life here. He had many people waiting on him, and he had his grandparents and father. It was a far cry from when he was at her home.He must prefer it here. He would not go back with her."Back? Go back where? This is Lil Fei's home!" Miao Ling, Lil Fei's grandmother, immediately spoke up as she was afraid that the little girl would take her baby grandson away!Shen Wanguo also said, "You must be Lil Jin. Lil Fei was at your house for a while, but he has returned to his own home now, so he can't go back to Shen City with you."However, Yi Qianjin seemed not to hear them as her almond-shaped eyes were still looking straight at Shen Jifei. A moment later, she heard him say, "I'm sorry. I'm... not going back with you."Her eyes instantly turned red as she looked down.She knew he... would not go back with
It was only because by staying here could he stand beside her with his head held high and not be outdone by anyone.He did not want to be looked down upon again and hear people say things like how he did not deserve to be the Little Young Lady’s friend.Yi Qianjin looked blankly at Shen Jifei. When she heard that he wanted to be best friends with her, her dejected expression was finally replaced with a smile. She quickly ran up to him. "Then... Then let's be best friends forever. Come and see me often, and I'll come and see you often!""Okay!" he replied."This doll..." Her eyes fell on the doll he was still holding in his right hand. She now recognized it as the doll she had given him. "Think of the doll as me, and let her sleep with you every day.""Okay," he answered again."Also, you have to finish the chocolates I gave you today. They’re very delicious!" she said. It was a pity she could not eat them with him."Okay."When he answered ‘okay’ for the third time, she was f
Yi Qianmo wanted to say that they had made preparations, but Yi Qianjin tugged at his sleeve, hinting at him not to talk.It was because their mother would only nag more if he said something. She would lecture them so much that there was no way for them to argue back.Yi Qianmo obediently kept his mouth shut.After a long lecture, Ling Yiran asked, "Do you know what you did wrong this time?"The two of them nodded hurriedly."Will it happen again?"The two shook their heads in unison.Ling Yiran was glad that her children were obedient.Yi Jinli glanced at his son and said, "Lil Mo, since you like hacking into security systems so much, hack into the security system at home and find out if there are any more loopholes once we get back. If you can't find them, you can't touch the computer for a month."Yi Qianmo immediately looked as if he had been struck by lightning.He had hacked into the security system at home many times since he was little. He had detected all the loophol
Yi Qianjin finally seemed happier after hearing that.Yi Jinli said, "Do you like Lil Fei that much? How about this? Why don't I find you another kid who can play the piano very well? Maybe even someone who plays the piano better than Lil Fei? That way, you can play the piano with your new friend every day and not miss Lil Fei that much.""But the other kid won’t be Lil Fei. Even if you ask another kid to play the piano with me, I’ll still miss Lil Fei!" said Yi Qianjin."Don't you like Lil Fei because he plays the piano well?" asked Yi Jinli.Yi Qianjin blinked, tilted her head, and thought for a long time before saying, "I'm not sure either. I just like Lil Fei, and Lil Fei likes me very much. He'll miss me very much."Yi Jinli smiled and did not pursue the topic. 'Like... Perhaps my daughter isn't very clear about what she means by that word.'However, at least the two children had separated. He would find another sensible child to take Lil Fei's place.Children were fickle.
"Bai Tingxin should be able to find out who did it." Ling Yiran's eyes fell on Zhuo Qianyun's belly. "You're pregnant, and running a store is hard. Why don't I find someone to help you out? You can take over the store again when your body recovers after you give birth to your baby.""No thanks, I'm doing okay. And I recently stopped having morning sickness. The baby's rather obedient and doesn't give me much trouble. My mom can still help me out. If we face any trouble, I’ll definitely ask for your help. Don’t worry.” Zhuo Qianyun said with a smile.All Ling Yiran could say was, "Call me if you need anything.""Okay," answered Zhuo Qianyun.After leaving Zhuo Qianyun's place, Ling Yiran went to see Qin Lianyi. She wanted to ask whether they had found any clues regarding the poison injection. However, she was shocked when she reached Qin Lianyi and Bai Tingxin's mansion."What... What is he doing here?" Ling Yiran looked in shock at the little boy sitting on the couch while holdi
"Good boy!" Qin Lianyi replied with a smile. Sure enough, the words ‘Aunt Qin’ were more pleasant to the ears.Ling Yiran continued to ask curiously, "Why do you want to be with Yiyi? You seem to have said you wanted to be with Yiyi when Aunt Qin was pregnant with her, right?"Shaking his head, the little boy said, "I can't tell you!"'He can't tell me?' Curiosity flashed across Ling Yiran's eyes. In other words, there must be a reason for this but it was a secret.In conclusion, there was no way a seven or eight-year-old child could fall in love with a baby at first sight!"Do you have superpowers?" Ling Yiran asked again.The little boy blinked, clearly puzzled."Why were you so sure Aunt Qin was carrying a girl when you first saw her? And why could your blood save Aunt Qin and wake her up?" asked Ling Yiran."Yeah, why?" Qin Lianyi also widened her eyes and looked at the child in front of her in curiosity.She was so amazed the last time he came to see Yiyi that she forgot
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
