Ling Yiran bit her lip slightly, lowered her head, and gently caressed her belly. Though he did not directly reject the idea of keeping the baby, she understood what he meant.If she were not pregnant, she would use contraceptives and choose not to have children.However, the accident had happened, and she had gotten pregnant. How could a mother give up her child so easily? Taking a deep breath, she looked up at Yi Jinli. "It's still unclear how the baby is doing and what my physical condition is like. We still need another pregnancy check-up. Why don't we decide after getting the results of the check-up?"He looked at her wary eyes and finally uttered softly, “Okay.”Ling Yiran finally let out a sigh of relief. She raised her hand, hugged Yi Jinli, and said, "Jin, don't worry. It’s been six years since I last gave birth. Since I had a C-section, I can have another baby after two years. Besides, I’ve been taking care of my health. It won't be that bad.""No matter what happens, pr
She risked her life to save those three kids back then. What would she risk for the baby in her belly now?...Ye Wenming came to Zhuo Qianyun's ward again at night. He could not explain why he could only calm down and fall asleep after seeing her sleeping face in the dead of night.However, what surprised him this time was that she was not asleep when he walked into the ward.He turned around, wanting to leave."Don't go!" shouted Zhuo Qianyun. She would have run out of bed to grab him had her belly not made it difficult to get on and out of bed.Ye Wenming paused and stayed in the ward."Are you here to see me?" Zhuo Qianyun asked."So what if I am?" he asked, his eyes falling on her sallow face. Her complexion was getting worse these days, and he knew it was a sign that her liver was failing.She was already in bad shape. Even if they took out the baby, her current liver would not last much longer."I'm happy if you are. And if you're not, I feel lucky to have seen you," r
"It's just a fake family. Our marriage was never real. We only got married because you don't want our child to be a bastard. I didn't end the marriage because I want to see how boring life with you really is."She sighed bitterly. "Yeah, I'm a pretty boring wife." She also hoped they could have a happy marriage, but perhaps a marriage based on a deal was never going to be happy from the start."But it's just a family photo. Consider it my last plea to you. I won't ask you for anything more than that, so will you please say yes?" she pleaded with him.His eyes glimmered. "You won't ask me for anything else? Zhuo Qianyun, don't you think you should be asking me to save you? If something does happen to your liver, I'm the only person who can donate you a liver!"His deep voice with a hint of sarcasm rang in the ward."But you’ll also be at risk. It's only been more than six years since your last liver transplant. It’ll be too risky for you to donate again," she said."What's the mat
Some love turned out to be so painful and so difficult!...The next day, Yi Jinli took Ling Yiran to the city's best maternity hospital for a check-up. Zhuo Qianyun was also admitted to the same hospital for her pregnancy."I've been coming to this hospital a lot lately." Ling Yiran could not help saying with a sigh. "Let's go visit Sis Zhuo later after I'm done.""Okay," answered Yi Jinli.Ling Yiran underwent a series of tests in the hospital and was told that the baby already had a heartbeat when she did the ultrasound.Ling Yiran's eyes reddened instantly. 'The baby's heartbeat! That means the baby in my belly truly exists.'After coming out of the ultrasound room, Ling Yiran put a hand on her belly, her eyes reddening.Yi Jinli quickly walked forward and said, "What's wrong? Did you just cry?"Ling Yiran sniffed. "The baby already has a heartbeat. It's one baby. The doctor says the baby's statistics are good so far.""Did the doctor say you're in good shape to have a ba
"It all depends on luck, the baby's luck and mine." Her voice choked slightly as she looked down and said to the little baby in her belly whose heartbeat had just developed, "Baby, will you give your best and let me give birth to you? I'm dying to see you."What answered her was a hug from Yi Jinli!A week. It would take a week for them to confirm if she was physically fit to continue the pregnancy. However, the test results they had received today were not too bad.Ling Yiran told herself to stay happy and take care of her diet now so that the baby could be healthy.The two walked toward the inpatient department, intending to visit Zhuo Qianyun. However, Zhuo Qianyun's ward was empty when they reached it. Even the bodyguards Yi Jinli had assigned to protect Zhuo Qianyun were nowhere to be seen.Ling Yiran quickly asked the nurse at the nurses’ station and learned that there was suddenly something wrong with Zhuo Qianyun's condition earlier. The doctor had taken her to the operati
Ye Wenming hung up without saying anything.Ling Yiran's heart sank.'Is Ye Wenming not coming?'Yi Jinli, who was standing next to Ling Yiran, asked, "What's the matter? Is Ye Wenming not coming?"She said, "He just hung up. I know I shouldn't guilt-trip him, so I only asked him to come over and didn’t say anything else. I thought perhaps Ye Wenming would feel sorry for Sis Zhuo and be willing to save her after seeing his own baby!"Yi Jinli said, "He'll come. He'll come if he doesn't want to live in regret for the rest of his life."Ling Yiran listened skeptically.Time ticked by, but Ye Wenming did not come until the nurse carried the baby out.The baby needed to be rushed to the neonatal unit. Ling Yiran's eyes turned red again as she looked at the baby in the incubator. The baby’s skin was red all over.The little human life was intubated. Whether the baby could survive depended on their will and strength.Sis Zhuo had risked her life for the baby."It's a girl. 1.3 kg,
"Yes, he intends to save Qianyun—even at the risk of his own life," said Yi Jinli.Ling Yiran suddenly felt the urge to cry. It was like what Jin had said before. Ye Wenming would not stand idly by if Sis Zhuo was dying.However, she did not expect Ye Wenming to resolutely lie on the operating room table at such a time.Even if some love was forgotten due to hypnosis, a lot of it would have already been etched in the bones and blood. It was why Ye Wenming chose to save Sis Zhuo.Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli waited outside the operating room. As time went by, Ling Yiran became increasingly nervous.‘Will the operation be a success? Is Ye Wenming and Sis Zhuo going to be okay?'If Sis Zhuo is rescued but something happens to Ye Wenming, Sis Zhuo will probably be unhappy in the future. After all, Sis Zhuo's greatest wish is for Ye Wenming to live a good life.’Sometime later, even Mrs. Zhuo had returned to the waiting area outside the operating room door. The operating room door finally
When Ye Wenming woke up on the third day, Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli went into the isolation ward wearing isolation gowns."Your and Sis Zhuo's operations were successful. You can transfer to the regular ward in 24 hours. Sis Zhuo will take longer. She needs 72 hours," said Ling Yiran."Has she woken up?" Ye Wenming asked hoarsely."Not yet, but the doctor said she’ll wake up today," said Ling Yiran."Don't tell her that the liver in her body... is mine," reminded Ye Wenming."Since you saved Sis Zhuo, why won't you tell her?" Ling Yiran asked in confusion."Because I want a clean break-up with her," said Ye Wenming."But how can you have a clean break-up now that you have two children together?" asked Ling Yiran.Ye Wenming closed his eyes a little tiredly. "Then we'll have a clean break-up... except for the children..."He had struggled in this hopeless relationship for years. He did not want to continue struggling in this relationship.He wanted to break up while he could!.
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
