After saying this, Ye Wenming moved the dagger in his hand and cut a wound in his neck.Mr. Yu laughed at the sight of it. "Good, good! Chairman Ye, you're such a sentimental person! But Zhuo Qianyun has two wounds on her neck. Shouldn't you cut yourself one more time?"Ye Wenming pursed his thin lips, and a second wound instantly appeared on his neck.The tears in Zhuo Qianyun's eyes finally could not help falling. ‘He knows Mr. Yu is up to no good, yet he did it anyway. What a fool!'Isn't he a businessman? Isn't he supposed to be calculating? Why...'Her tears made him panic. "Don't cry. I'm not in pain."However, the blood on his neck kept running down."Ye Wenming, since you don't feel pain, cut your neck a little deeper to see how much it takes to make you feel pain! If you don’t do it, I'll cut this woman's neck!" Mr. Yu shouted arrogantly.Ye Wenming raised his hand and left the third cut on his neck.The red blood made his face look paler."Ye Wenming, I forbid you f
"We can only find out after a thorough examination in the hospital." The policeman quickly helped Zhuo Qianyun and Ye Wenming into the car as he spoke.In the car, Ye Wenming was still worried about Zhuo Qianyun. "Are you... okay?" However, his voice was hoarse. Even uttering a simple sentence was hard for him.Zhuo Qianyun shook her head, her tears still flowing.Ye Wenming raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears. "Don't cry... Qianyun. Stop crying. There's no more danger, and I won't let this happen to you again."He thought she was crying because she was scared. He had no idea that she was crying because her heart was aching.When did her heart begin to ache over the injures he suffered for her?"Ye Wenming, why did you do it? Why did you cut your neck when Mr. Yu asked you to? I'm... not that important!"He said, "It's not up to you to determine whether or not you're important to me. It's... up to me. Besides, if I didn’t do whatever he told me to, then... Mr. Yu wou
When the police car arrived at the hospital, Ye Wenming was sent to the emergency room. Zhuo Qianyun was in better condition. The two wounds in her neck were not deep, and the baby she was carrying was not affected much. All she needed was to have her neck wounds tended.Ye Wenming was being rescued in the emergency room.Not long after, Ling Yiran and Qin Lianyi rushed over."Sis Zhuo, are you okay? Is the baby alright?" Ling Yiran asked in panic as she ran into Zhuo Qianyun's ward."The baby and I are fine. I just suffered some minor injuries," said Zhuo Qianyun."That's great!" Ling Yiran and Qin Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief."Is Wenming still in the emergency room? I... I want to wait outside," Zhuo Qianyun said worriedly."With your condition, you deserve a good rest. You don't have to worry about Ye Wenming. Yi Jinli and Tingxin have gone over. If anything happens, they can deal with it," said Qin Lianyi.Zhuo Qianyun bit her lip, still wanting to go and take a look a
Zhuo Qianyun walked up to the French window and looked at Ye Wenming on the operating table.From her point of view, he was surrounded by doctors and nurses in the distance. All she could see was his profile.His eyes were closed, and some of his hair had been shaved off. His pale face was so obvious.She had a terrible fear that he would continue sleeping and never open his eyes again."Sis Zhuo, don't worry. Nothing will happen." Ling Yiran gently pat Zhuo Qianyun on the shoulder and said, "There are many experts here, and Ye Wenming has always been in good health."Zhuo Qianyun replied in acknowledgment as she continued to stare at Ye Wenming.After about ten minutes, a voice suddenly came from the surgery room. "The patient has lost a lot of blood and needs more blood, but his blood type is rare. There’s no such blood type in the hospital's blood bank, so we need to go to the city's blood bank to get it.""You can take my blood. I have the same blood type as him!" Zhuo Qiany
Ling Yiran nodded at that. "Okay, then!"Before leaving, Qin Lianyi said to Zhuo Qianyun, "Sis Zhuo, call me and Yiran if anything happens! Don't make yourself a stranger!""Okay, I won't." Zhuo Qianyun smiled gratefully, warmth welling up in her eyes again.She knew that the police could find her so quickly this time because the Yi and Bai families had helped!It was great to have such friends!Once Ling Yiran, Qin Lianyi, Yi Jinli, and Bai Tingxin left the ward, Zhuo Qianyun looked at Ye Wenming and murmured, "Ye Wenming, do you know by doing this, you'll only make me owe you more and more? How am I supposed to repay you?"Things were a mess between them, and every time she thought they were going to sort things out, they just got messier and messier.The white gauze on his neck, chest, and hands stung her eyes.Perhaps, it would never be even between her and Ye Wenming!...When Mrs. Zhuo brought Lil Yan to the hospital, she saw her daughter sitting by Ye Wenming's bed in
The most important thing was that when she had just arrived, she saw her daughter sitting beside Ye Wenming's bed, staring at him blankly.If her daughter had no feelings for Ye Wenming, how could she have looked at him like that?There were struggle and obsession in the bottom of her eyes.Mothers knew best. Mrs. Zhuo knew that Ye Wenming would probably be imprinted in her heart forever!Even if her daughter kept saying she did not love him, she had feelings for him. She just... would not admit it.After Mrs. Zhuo and Lil Yan left, Zhuo Qianyun remained in Ye Wenming's ward.He slept soundly. The doctor said he would probably be asleep for a while even after the anesthesia wore off due to the severe blood loss. He could wake up a few hours later or maybe longer than that.'When will he wake up?'His face still looked pale with a sense of vulnerability.It was as if he was going to disappear at any moment.Zhuo Qianyun's heart suddenly quivered. She raised her hand almost sub
Zhuo Qianyun quickly stood up straight and said to the nurse, "He... He's awake.""I'll call the doctor and have them come and examine him," the nurse said.After the nurse left the ward, Zhuo Qianyun looked down at the wrist he was holding. "Will you... let go for a while? The doctor will examine you in a moment."However, Ye Wenming kept holding her as if it was the only way to make sure she was safe. "Are you... really alright?""I'm fine. The baby's fine too. Thank you for saving me... and our baby," she said.There was a flicker of surprise in his eyes that she used the word ‘ours.’ It was as if she and he were one, not separate individuals."It's great... that you and the baby are... okay," he murmured. His already hoarse voice sounded more broken due to the lump in his throat."You hurt your neck. Don't talk so much!" Zhuo Qianyun said hurriedly.The wounds on his neck were far more serious than hers.He obediently closed his mouth, but those dark eyes of his were still
However, there was a pang of self-reproach in her dark eyes even as she said so.Her pain seemed to influence her as she suddenly hugged him.The abruptness of her gesture even surprised her.If it were before, she would probably never think of hugging Ye Wenming again one day.However, she was really hugging him right now!'Is it guilt? Am I just feeling sorry? Or... is it something else?'"Ye Wenming, enough is enough... You don't have anything to blame yourself for, alright? I was even glad that the blood existed when it was transfused back to yourself. If they hadn’t done that and if something had happened to you, then I..." Her voice broke. She was almost unable to go on. "Fortunately, you got off the operating table safely."Ye Wenming was stunned. All he could smell was her.She was hugging him... How long had she not hugged him of her own volition?It seemed to be a long time ago when she loved him and would always hug him voluntarily. She would ask him coquettishly to
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
