After all, a person who once helped her had now become someone who had hurt her. Such a transformation could make one emotional.Mrs. Zhuo would visit her daughter every day after Lil Yan finished school, bringing her food.Ye Wenming could only eat liquid food these days because of the wounds on his neck. The hospital would prepare his meals for him, so Mrs. Zhuo did not have to prepare additional food.On the third day, when Ye Wenming could get out of bed and walk, he often went to Zhuo Qianyun's ward to watch her eat. He communicated with her in sign language.Zhuo Qianyun knew sign language because of Lil Yan.Although her son now had a cochlear implant and could communicate freely under most circumstances, Zhuo Qianyun had not forgotten sign language.However, she did not expect Ye Wenming to know sign language either. He was quite fluent too. At least, they had no problem communicating.'He... probably learned sign language because of Lil Yan,' Zhuo Qianyun thought to her
"No thanks. I... want to know why he’s here looking for me," said Zhuo Qianyun.Therefore, Zhuo Qianyun asked the nurse to let Wu Huairen into the ward.After entering the ward, Wu Huairen was not as arrogant as he was before. Instead of looking like a noble businessman, he was haggard. Even the suit he was wearing was a little wrinkled. He looked so down and out. Wu Huairen said uneasily, "Uh... Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, what Yan Qiongying did this time has nothing to do with the Wu family. I knew nothing about it, nor did I participate in it. It was her idea alone! I broke up with her long before she did anything to Mrs. Ye! You can look into it.""I don't understand why you’re telling us this, Mr. Wu? If you're afraid of being implicated, you should be talking to the police, not us," said Zhuo Qianyun.Wu Huairen was groaning inwardly. The police did not arrest him because he had nothing to do with the case.However, even though he was innocent, many people in the business circle knew
After all, when Yan Qiongying asked him to pass the message, she had said quite confidently, "As long as you pass this message to Zhuo Qianyun, I have a way to get myself acquitted once she comes to see me. When others see that I'm acquitted, they won't think that you've offended the Ye family. You can go on living as before!"However, Wu Huairen doubted Yan Qiongying's words. She committed such a great crime this time. Could she be acquitted?"Mrs. Ye, you... you'll meet Yan Qiongying, won't you?" Wu Huairen was expecting Zhuo Qianyun to go.As long as Yan Qiongying was acquitted, his business would not be affected any longer."Mr. Wu, it's up to me whether I want to see her or not. You can leave now," Zhuo Qianyun asked him to leave."But..." Wu Huairen wanted to say something more, but Ye Wenming's cold gaze silenced him.If he continued speaking and upset Ye Wenming, the Wu family would probably collapse faster.Wu Huairen could only leave reluctantly.Ye Wenming said to Zh
"Stop talking. The doctor told you not to talk so much," said Zhuo Qianyun."You’re not pushing me away. Is it because you can't bear to see me in pain?" He continued to talk."I... I just think you saved my life, so it doesn't matter... if you want to hug me like this for a while," she stammered slightly. His scent enveloped her, making her flustered."Really? It doesn't matter… whether you’re grateful, compassionate, or sympathetic. At least... I hold some kind of place in your heart." Instead of her ignoring him even if he stood in front of her.Having her ignoring him felt awful."Ye Wenming, what are you trying to say?" she asked."Qianyun, you said the words 'my husband' to Wu Huairen just now. I... I'm just asking if there's a chance that I can make our marriage more than just a formality. Can I... be your real husband?" he asked, his voice hoarse with a hint of nervousness.It was as if he had summoned all his courage to ask this.Zhuo Qianyun was silent. For a moment,
She used to hate him so much.It turned out that the hatred would eventually be healed over time."Can we... still be together?" she murmured to herself.Only silence answered her.She sighed and was about to leave when a voice suddenly escaped from his mouth, "Qianyun... Don't leave me..."Zhuo Qianyun was surprised. Then, she found out that Ye Wenming was still asleep. Words just slipped out of his mouth while he was asleep.'Don't leave... Does he know how hard it is for me to make up my mind to say yes to those two words?'Zhuo Qianyun was discharged the next day. Ling Yiran and Qin Lianyi came to pick her up.While helping Zhuo Qianyun pack up, Ye Wenming also stood by Zhuo Qianyun's side, even intending to help her get into the car.Ling Yiran ultimately said, "Chairman Ye, we won't lose Sis Zhuo. We'll make sure that we send her to the store safely. Don't worry.""Alright, I'm going home. Rest well in the hospital. I'll come and visit you," Zhuo Qianyun said to Ye Wenm
Qin Lianyi said, "Yeah, Sis Zhuo. Ye Wenming must really love you, so it all depends on whether you love him or not. If you still love him, you might as well give each other a chance. You can separate if you're really not right for each other. At least you won't regret it."Zhuo Qianyun smiled sadly. "But I'm scared that… if we separate again after getting back together, I won’t be able to get over it like last time.”"Are you scared of Ye Wenming betraying you again and causing you harm?" asked Qin Lianyi.Zhuo Qianyun was silent, but the silence meant that Qin Lianyi had gotten it right. Qin Lianyi said, "It depends on whether you believe in his feelings for you. If you do, I think you might as well take a chance. Life has always been a gamble anyway. You never know what your life is going to be like until the end of it. That was what I was thinking when I got together with Tingxin. It's better to just do it than hesitate. At least that’s how you won’t regret it in the future!”
Mrs. Zhuo stopped speaking, and she looked at her daughter in disbelief, "What... What did you say?""I said, is it okay if I get back together with Ye Wenming?" repeated Zhuo Qianyun."You want to start over with Ye Wenming?" Mrs. Zhuo asked urgently."Ye Wenming mentioned to me in the hospital that he wants to be a real married couple with me, not just for show or for the sake of the kids," said Zhuo Qianyun as she took a deep breath. She looked at her mother, who had accompanied her through so many painful years. "Mom, I still have feelings for Ye Wenming. I don't know whether they’ve always been there and I’ve just ignored them, or they just started recently. But I think he has a place in my heart."Zhuo Qianyun confessed her feelings to her mother.After hearing that, Mrs. Zhuo said gently, "Since he has a place in your heart and seeing how you two have children together, it's good to start over with him. You haven't fallen for anyone after all these years. Perhaps you're des
Ye Wenming frowned. "She's not some random woman. She's the woman I love most. She got kidnapped because of me. I failed to handle some lowlives who went to harm Qianyun! It's only a matter of course that I had to save her!”Madam Ye said bitterly, "A matter of course? You saved her and almost killed yourself. Did you think of me? Did you think about your own mother? What I should do if something had happened to you? I already lost your father. Do you want me to lose my only son too? "Guilt flashed across Ye Wenming's face. "Mom, I'm sorry.""Zhuo Qianyun has gotten you under her spell. Even if you have done her wrong, many years have passed since then. You've even donated her your liver. It should be enough," said Madam Ye.'Enough?' Ye Wenming smiled wrily. Qianyun said it was enough, and even his mother said it was enough, but... "It's not enough. Mom, I love her. I love her so much that everything I do for her won't be enough. Whatever happens, I don't want you to scold her,
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
