Zhuo Qianyun only felt the discomfort growing. Her face grew paler and paler, and her hands clutched her abdomen.Ye Wenming hurriedly said to Zhuo Qianyun, "Hold on a little longer. We're at the hospital now. I'll take you to see the doctor immediately." Although the hospital did not specialize in obstetrics and gynecology, the emergency room must have some ways to ease her pain.However, the crowd was still blocking their way as Ye Wenming tried to take Zhuo Qianyun to the emergency room. They continued filming them with the cameras in their hands. One of them even held their camera close to Zhuo Qianyun's face.Ye Wenming waved them away with one hand.The camera in their hands fell to the ground, and the expressions of the reporters instantly changed. They hit Ye Wenming while yelling, "How dare you smash my camera? Outsiders like you better get the hell out of Deer City. Who are you to interfere with the Xia family's affairs?"Ye Wenming protected Zhuo Qianyun as he withstood
"But Xia Xi is still..." Zhuo Qianyun said hesitantly."You don't have to worry about Xia Xi. Although it’s only a preliminary diagnosis, the odds are 80% or 90%. I'll conclude the things here. What matters the most for you right now is to deliver this baby and get through this crisis. You can only talk about the future after you get through it. Besides, do you think Xia Xi will be happy if you stay here in your condition?"Every word Ling Yiran said struck Zhuo Qianyun's heart.She bit her lip. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll go back to Shen City." Her eyes fell on her bulging belly under the bedsheet.This was her baby. She wanted the baby to be born safely.Ling Yiran felt relieved at that. "Then I'll ask the doctor to make the necessary arrangements. You'll return to Shen City tomorrow."As she was about to leave the ward, she suddenly seemed to recall something. She said to Zhuo Qianyun, "Do you really think you don’t love Ye Wenming enough?” Zhuo Qianyun stared blan
She and Yi Jinli had not left the hospital at the time. When she came to the emergency room after hearing the news, she saw Ye Wenming sitting there. A doctor was stitching up his wound, while Zhuo Qianyun was lying on the hospital bed beside him.One of the doctors from the hospital was treating Zhuo Qianyun.They were supposed to be in separate wards for two different treatments.However, Ye Wenming was in the same ward as Zhuo Qianyun. One side of Ye Wenming's cheeks was covered with blood, but his eyes kept looking at Zhuo Qianyun.It was as if he was not even worried about his injuries. He was only worried about Zhuo Qianyun's safety."The reporters who stopped you yesterday were fake. They were impostors. We don't know what they want, but... it probably has something to do with the Xia family," said Ling Yiran."No matter who they're linked to, I'll find them," said Ye Wenming. Although Deer City was not his territory, it was not difficult for him to do this. "What about Zh
Ling Yiran sniffled. "Sis Zhuo’s hospital report doesn’t look too good. Due to Sis Zhuo's pregnancy, her liver isn't working very well. She might need a liver transplant after she gives birth, but..."Yi Jinli said, "It's the issue of finding a donor, isn’t it? Ye Wenming won't do it?"Ling Yiran nodded. "But it's normal. His affection for Sis Zhuo isn't what it used to be. Besides, he has donated his liver before. It's too dangerous for him to donate it again."One could say that he would be gambling on his life.How many people in this world could risk their lives for another person?"We'll go back to Shen City and find a solution. Maybe things won’t have to be that bad," said Yi Jinli."But if it comes to that and Sis Zhuo doesn't have the right liver..."Yi Jinli said sternly, "She must have thought of that possibility. Everyone is responsible for their own decisions. Since Zhuo Qianyun made up her mind to give birth to the baby, she would probably have thought of the worst.
"Perhaps I had a change of taste. I quite like sweet things recently." The sweeter, the better. Even she was surprised."You can eat sweet things if you like them, but there has to be a limit. Just don't make yourself uncomfortable." Yi Jinli reminded her.She was the only one who could make him behave like a nagging old lady."Okay, got it," replied Ling Yiran, feeling like he was spoiling her as though she was a child! "By the way, I'll stay here for a while longer to handle Xia Xi's affairs. I'm not sure when it’ll be over. Why don't you take the kids back first? They have to attend kindergarten. Besides, it's inconvenient for you to keep having video conferences in Deer City."Yi Jinli looked at the person in front of him. Moments later, he smiled gently. "Okay, I’ll help you take care of some things here first. I'll take our two children back to Shen City in a few days."The two got into the car. Ling Yiran was a little tired. She leaned on Yi Jinli's shoulder and soon fell a
"Is there... something on my face?""No, and you're not who I want to protect. It's the baby you're carrying," he said against his conviction. It was as if he did not want to admit that he would always be overwhelmed whenever he saw her pained look, especially when her belly was hurting. It was as if he wished he could endure the pain on her behalf.'What's wrong with me?' Ye Wenming secretly asked himself. Was even hypnosis unable to erase his love because the love was too deep?The atmosphere in the car suddenly became awkward. Fortunately, the doctor and nurse in the ambulance eased the atmosphere by asking Zhuo Qianyun if she had any discomfort.When the car arrived in Shen City, Zhuo Qianyun was taken to Municipal Women's Hospital for a series of tests.As soon as the test reports came out, the specialists were already waiting for the consultation session.Zhuo Qianyun did not know that Ye Wenming would also be attending the consultation with the specialists.When she was
It hurt again...Ye Wenming's hand instantly covered his heart. 'Why is my heart hurting again? How much do I love this woman that it’s so painful even now?'Ye Wenming hit his heart repeatedly as if to distract himself from the physical pain… Zhuo Qianyun had no idea how long she slept, but she seemed to have a vague feeling that she was being watched in her sleep.When she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Wenming sitting on the couch on one side of the ward. His dark eyes were staring straight at her.Zhuo Qianyun shuddered and slowly propped herself up. "What... are you doing here?" She glanced out of the window and saw that it was still dark. It was obvious that it was not dawn yet.He continued to stare at her in silence, his thin lips pressing together tightly.She bit her lip uneasily. "If you're worried about the baby in my belly, I can promise you that I'll try my best to drag it out as long as possible. Unless the doctor says I have to have a C-section, I'm not going to gi
From her calm voice, it seemed that she had already prepared herself for life and death. Even if she was reluctant, she had calmly arranged the future of her loved ones.However, the calmer she was, the angrier he became."Do you think it's worth sacrificing your life for a child's?" He growled.She said with a wry smile, "I don't know. It's hard to say if it's worth it. But as a mother, I want to try my best to protect my children."Therefore, she chose to keep the baby even though she knew she would be in danger."Yeah, you don't know. There's so much you don't know." He suddenly released his hand and looked condescendingly at her. He stared at her darkly. "Zhuo Qianyun, don't think I'll risk my life to save you again even if you’re really in danger one day. I don't love you anymore.""Yeah, I know that." She smiled nonchalantly. "I hope you won't save me even if I'm in danger one day. Just live a good life."It was her biggest hope. She only wanted him to live a good life.H
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
