Right now, Ling Luoyin could only focus all her hate on Ling Yiran. If it had not been for Ling Yiran, she would not have suffered such humiliation today!It was all Ling Yiran's fault! Sooner or later, she would get even with Ling Yiran!Ling Luoyin bitterly said in her heart, but in reality, she could only kneel. After all, she could not afford to offend Yi Jinli. Plus, Gu Lichen was her backer now, so she could not fight with Gu Lichen.She even wanted to be Gu Lichen's last girlfriend.It was only when she knelt in front of Ling Yiran that Ling Yiran slightly frowned. She stepped back a couple of paces and turned to the director who looked rather frightened. She said, "Sorry, Director. I'm afraid I can't take part in today's scene. You don't need to pay me. I'm leaving.""Alright..." the director responded with a shudder.Ling Yiran headed straight for the dressing room, ready to change out of her costume. Yi Jinli followed her.As Gu Lichen looked back at Yi Jinli and Ling
When she and Xiao Ziqi were together, Xiao Ziqi would always stand up for her if there was any trouble.As a result, she thought she could depend on this man for the rest of her life. When it came to sticking up for her, however, she realized that his so-called feelings for her were things that could be taken back anytime. When she suddenly did not have anyone to stand up for her, the kind of despair she experienced could kill anyone. While she was being tortured in prison, she had, on several occasions, been so desperate that she considered suicide.If... If Lianyi had not come to see her and encouraged her often, perhaps… she would already be dead by now. Her heart was filled with deep gratitude when she thought of her best friend.Ling Yiran sighed, unbuttoned her costume, and was about to take it off when she heard footsteps behind her.She was shocked and looked back to see that Yi Jinli had entered the dressing room.There was no one in the dressing room because they w
"For fear of it becoming a habit," Ling Yiran said, somewhat embarrassed. "Some things may become a habit after many times. When you’re no longer able to rely on that, they become despair instead.”"Why, were you desperate before?" he asked casually.She took a deep breath, looked into his eyes, and finally stopped hiding. "Yes, I was desperate."His pupils froze slightly. The faint smile on his face also slowly faded away."Can you go out now? I want to change," Ling Yiran said.However, Yi Jinli did not back off. His dark eyes were still staring at her, and his fingers were stroking her cheek as if he was thinking of something.After a moment, he muttered, "Will you be afraid if I say that it has already become a habit and that it’ll never change?"Ling Yiran stared at the face close to her, not knowing what to say for a moment. She felt as if her heart was violently beating right now....In the dressing room, Ling Yiran blushed and changed her clothes. Although Yi Jinli ha
"Well, then I won't touch her," Gu Lichen said. "She’s not the one I'm looking for, anyway."However, it was hard to deny that she looked a lot like the person he was looking for. Sometimes, when he looked at her, he imagined that she was what that person would grow up to look like.Nevertheless, she just looked like her. She was not her."What if she's the one you're looking for? Will you do something then?" Yi Jinli asked, raising his eyebrows.Gu Lichen's face remained still, but his phoenix eyes seemed to be rippling with something no one could see even if they wanted to. "If she is, I won’t let go even if I have to compete against you."Yi Jinli squinted. "So it's a good thing she's not, right?""Yes. Fortunately, she's not," Gu Lichen said and turned away.Fortunately, she was not her. If she really was, then it would probably be difficult to deal with.Gu Lichen thought and unconsciously reached into his pocket to feel for the bracelet. How long would it take before he f
However, he refused to listen. Instead, he pulled her hand closer and looked down at the faint bruising on the back of her hand.Then, he brought the back of her hand close to his lips and gave it a gentle puff.Ling Yiran gasped, only to see Yi Jinli blowing it seriously with his head low."It won't hurt so much after I blow it," he muttered. Then, he gently rubbed the bruise on the back of her hand with his fingertips, blowing and rubbing with a focused gaze. Ling Yiran felt as though her heart was beating very violently at the moment, and her throat seemed to be so jammed that she could not say a word.If it was Jin who did this, she would think she had a caring brother, but it was Yi Jinli... She was overwhelmed.As for Yi Jinli's bodyguard who was standing behind him, his eyes widened at the sight of this. When… had he ever seen Young Master Yi treat a woman like that?Perhaps it would not be long before the entire Shen City would know her name!"Feeling any better?" A ge
There were ripples in his eyes, and they revealed some sort of gentleness that seemed to say he could put up with her no matter what she did.The light in his eyes and the smile at the corners of his lips were indescribably beautiful.Ling Yiran suddenly realized that she was being silly. Even though she had ordered all the dishes on the menu, it was still nothing to Yi Jinli.What was wrong with her? She was taking out her anger in such a silly way.Frustrated, Ling Yiran dispiritedly handed the menu back to the waiter and said, "That's all.""Is that all?" Yi Jinli said with a smile.Ling Yiran bit her lip for a moment before saying, "That's all.""Can you finish them? There are enough for seven or eight of you. Isn't it a little too much for you two?" the waiter said tactfully.Yi Jinli lightly said, "That's all for now."The waiter took the menu and left.Yi Jinli looked at Ling Yiran and said, "If Sis thinks that's not enough, then you can order some more later."His in
Perhaps his gaze was so direct and unabashed that Ling Yiran could not help looking up at Yi Jinli. She asked him, "Aren't you going to eat?""I am. I just want to watch you eat for a while first. I find the food more appetizing when I watch you eat," he said."..." She suddenly felt speechless. What did he mean by that?"Every time I watch you eat, the food looks more delicious," he muttered."That's because you've never tried being hungry," she said with a faint smile. "If you haven't eaten for days, even if it's just white rice in water, you'll find it delicious."His eyes froze. "Have you ever been hungry?""Well, yes," she said lightly. What had been a matter of life and death back then seemed to turn into a casual topic right now.His thin lips tightened. "Was it in prison?""Yes," she replied.Then, neither of them spoke anymore. She lowered her head and continued eating while his eyes remained firmly fixed on her.She was still wearing those cheap clothes today. She l
However, many people in Shen City now knew that Hao Yimeng and Xiao Ziqi were engaged and would soon get married. Guan Lili, when mentioning Xiao Ziqi, mentioned ‘ex-boyfriend’ as if it was a conscious reminder of something.Ling Yiran stared at Guan Lili, suddenly understanding something.There was a flash of discomfort in Guan Lili's face as Ling Yiran stared at her. She was looking at Guan Lili as though she could see right through her.However, she told herself, ‘So what if she can see through me? Ling Yiran is no longer the rising star in the industry.’She had joined the firm together with Ling Yiran back then, but the person everybody laid eyes on was Ling Yiran only.The colleagues in the office all used to say that Ling Yiran was going to be a big lawyer soon because she was doing great in her career and love life.When Guan Lili made mistakes at work, her mentor in the firm would ask her to be more like Ling Yiran. This made her indignant, but she was helpless.Ling Yi
