Xia Xi would be married to Gong Nanting tomorrow while holding his memorial tablet. What would the expression on Su Zhehan's face be when he heard the news?Zhang Yaer was suddenly a little curious.Everyone in the city knew that Su Zhehan had courted Xia Xi back then. Was it true that such passionate love no longer existed?"This is it. Let's use this style for tomorrow. Also, I'll wear another bracelet tomorrow," said Xia Xi.Tomorrow, she would wear the bracelet Nanting gave her."Alright, about the ring..." the stylist said a little hesitantly. After all, Xia Xi had lost her right ring finger. It was the finger she should wear the wedding ring on, but she... would never be able to wear a wedding ring again.Xia Xi glanced at her mutilated right hand with a faint smile. "I'd better wear it on my left hand. I still have my left ring finger." Even if her left ring finger were missing, she would wear it on her other fingers.The stylist nodded.Xia Xi turned and said to the oth
"As I said, I have no regrets. I survived because of Nanting. I managed to survive the mental hospital because I kept thinking about how Nanting wanted me to stay alive and well before he died. Otherwise, I would’ve killed myself long ago," said Xia Xi as the sun shone on her face. Her eyes were calm as if she had gone through all the ups and downs.She gently looked down at the memorial tablet she was holding. "I think I’ll cherish every day of my life more after I marry Nanting. He wanted me to live well, so I’ll try my best to live well. After I pass away, I can tell him I didn't waste the life he gave me!"Gong Beicheng looked at the woman in front of him and muttered, "Brother loved you so much that he might not want you to sacrifice the rest of your life on him.""I’ll explain it to him when the time comes. I’ll tell him that this was what I wanted," said Xia Xi.She wanted so much... to be his bride!All she could do was to be with Nanting... in this way!...Su Zhehan go
"Mr. Su? Mr. Su?" The two doctors at his side immediately shouted after seeing Su Zhehan's stunned appearance.Su Zhehan let out a breath with difficulty and stared at Dr. Kang with his dark eyes. "Can you guarantee that your test result shows that Lil Heng is really Xia Xi's child?"Dr. Kang said sternly, "Of course, I can guarantee it. I even tested it several times for fear of getting it wrong."Su Zhehan took a deep breath. "Alright. I hope you'll keep it between us for now.""Of course," the attending doctor and Dr. Kang quickly promised.Su Zhehan then dashed out of the hospital and drove in the direction of the prison.'Xia Huan's the one who can give me an answer now! How did Xia Huan do it? She took Xia Xi's child as her own.'He would not have married Xia Huan had it not been for the child.However, he married Xia Huan, only to find out that she was not the child's biological mother!It was so ironic he found it ridiculous! He rushed to the prison. After half an ho
Xia Huan's expression changed instantly. 'Has… Has he found out?’ "I’m not wondering whose child he is. I already know that Lil Heng isn't your child. I only want to know how you managed to make him your child." Su Zhehan asked darkly.Xia Huan suddenly laughed as if releasing her fear after it reached its climax. With this laugh, her twisted and repressed feelings were released."How did I do it? Su Zhehan, it's all thanks to you! If you hadn't turned a blind eye to Xia Xi at that time, you would’ve known that she was pregnant with your child and I wouldn't have gotten the opportunity. It's a pity that she risked her life to give birth to the baby but ended up thinking that she gave birth to a stillborn!” "What did you say? She risked her life to give birth to the baby?" he asked in surprise."Yeah. She was hoping you'd get her out of the mental hospital!" Xia Huan said with a laugh.Su Zhehan's face began to turn pale, and his hands at his sides clenched slowly as his nails d
However, his body stayed stiff, and he stood still as his eyes watched Xia Huan's lips open and close. She said... "She said there's no way she'd give you up to anyone. She loved you and had promised to be with you forever. She said she only thought of Gong Nanting as a friend and had never loved Gong Nanting."His blood seemed to freeze when he heard this.His heart hurt like it was stabbed by countless sharp daggers.Su Zhehan staggered back a few steps... He looked like he was on the verge of collapsing.‘Was I the only one Xia Xi loved?'She never had anything going on with Gong Nanting?'If... of all this is true, what have I done? How could I have treated her like that?'"Su Zhehan, you're the real villain. You're paranoid and jealous. Even though you loved Xia Xi, you didn’t believe her. I didn't put Xia Xi in that position. You did! If you had trusted Xia Xi a little more, you would have been a harmonious and beautiful family of three now. It's a pity that Xia Xi hates y
The statement set off a tempestuous wave in Su Zhehan's mind.'Wedding dress... Why would she go there in a wedding dress? What exactly does that mean?' Uneasiness and fear filled his heart as he stepped on the gas pedal and sped off toward the Gong family's cemetery.'Xia Xi... Xia Xi...'The name kept flashing across his head.Those pledges of eternal love seemed to echo in his ear.‘Xi Xi, I love you. I’ll take good care of you and won't let you suffer!‘Xi Xi, I can do whatever you want. I only want you to be safe and happy.‘Xia Xi, I have never loved anyone so much in my life, and I have never wanted anyone to marry me this much. Let me be with you for the rest of your life. I’ll be with you for the rest of mine, okay?’These words had come out of his own mouth. He meant it with all sincerity when he spoke.However, he never fulfilled them.She had suffered a grievous injustice. She was not safe, let alone happy, but... he did nothing.He just let it happen!‘Zhehan,
If anyone got in his way, he would get them out of the way!He wanted to see Xia Xi. He wanted to see Xia Xi no matter what!He raised his hand and swung it fiercely at the man in front of him. The entrance to the cemetery started becoming chaotic.In the cemetery, Xia Xi stood in front of Gong Nanting's grave. Workers took out the old tombstone and replaced it with a new one. There was a new line with the words ‘Wife, Xia Xi’ next to the words ‘Husband, Gong Nanting’ on the tombstone.The only difference was that the words ‘Gong Nanting’ were drawn with red ink, representing that he had died. Meanwhile, the words ‘Xia Xi’ were in gold, representing that she was still alive.When Xia Xi died and her ashes were put into this tomb, the gold words would be painted red.Xia Xi looked quietly at the new tombstone and murmured, "Nanting, I’ll go look for you someday. But I might be old by then. You'd better recognize me."She even looked forward to the day when her ashes would be plac
"I only came to take her away!" Su Zhehan walked up to Xia Xi step by step.The Gong family's security guards tried to stop him but stopped when they saw Gong Beicheng waving his hands.Watching her husband's actions, Zhang Yaer whispered, "Do you plan to let Su Zhehan take Xia Xi away?""Her feelings for Brother might not be that deep if she leaves with Su Zhehan. The wedding today will be canceled, of course," muttered Gong Beicheng."What if... she doesn’t?" "Zhang Yaer asked curiously."If she doesn’t leave, she'll be... my eldest brother's wife and my sister-in-law. The Gong family will naturally take care of her forever!" Gong Beicheng said.Therefore, Zhang Yaer understood that her husband was doing this to see how Xia Xi truly felt about Gong Nanting. Su Zhehan's appearance was undoubtedly the best test.Su Zhehan walked up to Xia Xi. Looking at her in a wedding dress and delicate makeup, he fell into a trance. It was as if he were in a dream.He had had such dreams man
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
