Even though his daddy had hurt his mommy deeply and he previously hated him, his heart was now filled with gratitude.If his daddy had not given his mommy his liver, he would have lost her.Zhuo Qianyun smiled. "Yeah, he's... a brave man."She knew Ye Wenming had already prepared himself to die for her and the baby the moment she became pregnant and decided to give birth to their daughter.Even though he went through hypnosis to forget his feelings for her afterward, he still made the same choice.Two days after making arrangements, Zhuo Qianyun took the high-speed train to L City with her suitcase in hand.She did not have Ye Wenming's new phone number and could only call the lawyer. "I want to see Ye Wenming and talk to him personally about the divorce.""I'm afraid that's going to be an issue. Mr. Ye is too busy with work to come to Shen City," the lawyer said, feeling troubled."That's fine. I'll go to L City. I'm already on the high-speed train to L City," said Zhuo Qianyu
She should have suspected it sooner. The pills were the same as those given to her after her liver transplant. However, she had carelessly assumed that the doctors gave her the pills because her liver was not doing well after her pregnancy. How... careless of her!Zhuo Qianyun smiled bitterly as she touched her right rib right away. It was where her liver would be, and her liver was from Ye Wenming.'How much liver does Ye Wenming have left after donating to me twice?' She could hardly imagine it.'What should I say when I first see Ye Wenming?'Thank you, or sorry? Or maybe... I should tell him I love him?'If she had known it was going to end up like this, maybe she would not have broken up with him like that in the hospital.She wanted him to live, but she had caused him trouble instead!When the high-speed train arrived in L City, Zhuo Qianyun got off and took a taxi to the address Ling Yiran gave her. The security guards unsurprisingly stopped her at the mansion’s entranc
Liang Fang entered the mansion and met Ye Wenming, who was sitting on the couch going through the company's documents."Chairman Ye, I just met your wife outside the mansion. Mrs. Ye would like to meet you," said Liang Fang.Ye Wenming's hand holding the pen paused instantly.She still came!She came even though he had made it clear on the phone with the lawyer that he was not going to see her.He had deliberately stopped himself from thinking about her and removed her from his mind. However, her voice and face kept recurring to him whenever he calmed down.Everything that ever happened in the past flashed past his mind one by one.'I was hypnotized! I've forgotten this relationship. Why does this woman still dominate my mind?'"Chairman Ye?" Liang Fang could not help asking after Ye Wenming's long silence."Since she wants to see me, I'll see her. Take her to the living room. I'll go downstairs to see her," said Ye Wenming,"Yes, I'll bring Mrs. Ye in," Liang Fang said quick
Zhuo Qianyun suddenly came to her senses. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the tension in her heart. "I came to you... to talk about the divorce."Ye Wenming said indifferently, “You're dissatisfied with the terms I made, and I've asked my lawyer to tell you that I’ll accept whatever suggestion you have as long as I can fulfill it. If you just want to talk to me about this, you can talk to my lawyer! It's no different than talking to me."With that said, he turned around to leave."There's a difference!" Zhuo Qianyun ran forward and held Ye Wenming's hand. "I don't want a divorce. I don't want to sign the divorce agreement."Ye Wenming froze instantly. He turned around and looked at Zhuo Qianyun with shock. "You don't want a divorce?""Yes," she answered affirmatively.His eyes were dark. Moments later, he sneered. "In that case, do you want to continue being Mrs. Ye for a while more? What is it about this time? Last time, you wanted to be Mrs. Ye because you didn't want your
"So, you recognized your feelings in less than six months? Do you really think you’ve fallen in love with a man you didn't even love not so long ago? Zhuo Qianyun, do you believe such lies?" He retorted.She quickly explained, "It's not a lie. It's true. I thought I loved you too little and that you loved me too much. I was afraid you might become miserable if something happened to me. That's why I said those things. But now..."Her voice trailed off as her eyes rested on his right rib area where his liver was. It was where he had surgery for her twice.He followed her gaze, then his expression changed slightly. As if realizing something, he frowned. "You know about it?"He asked absent-mindedly, but she understood."Yeah, I do. I know you donated your liver to me again after I got my C-section," she said as her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of tears.He looked enlightened. "So, are you trying to make it up to me because you feel bad and think you owe me? But you underes
Ye Wenming quietly looked at the woman in front of him. She was right. He did have feelings that he could not control for her.The feelings were something she could use against him at any time."It seems that my actions have misled you. You'd better listen well. I saved you not because I still have any feelings for you, but because I wanted to fulfill a promise to my former self," his cold voice muttered."Promise?" She froze. "What do you mean?""It means that I had left a letter to myself before the hypnosis because I was afraid that the hypnosis might affect my memory or change my mindset. In the letter, I begged myself to save your life at all costs, even if I had no affection for you," Ye Wenming said indifferently.What he did not tell her was that he must have been afraid that her childbirth was risky when he wrote the letter, so he kept reminding himself to save her life. If he did not save her, he would surely be more miserable than death if the hypnosis was undone one da
"But that would require us to appeal to the court, which would take at least six months. Besides, once the media finds out about it, it won't be good for Ye Group's reputation either," Zhuo Qianyun said with red eyes.He stared at her. Her eyes were wet. It was as if her tears would form again and fall from her eyes at any moment.His heart twitched suddenly as her crying face kept flashing across his mind.She used to say to him while crying, "Ye Wenming, believe me. I didn't push Kong Ziyin down the stairs. I didn't!"She had also cried as she shouted in a voice that could break people's hearts, "Ye Wenming, I beg you! Let me go. Let me go!"Finally, she said in a calm voice through her tears, "Ye Wenming, I’ll never forgive you..."It was all memories of her crying back then. He no longer had those feelings and should feel like an outsider when he recalled these memories.However, why... did his heart ache?His heart... hurt so much!Then he said to her out of the blue, "Th
The nurse, Ruan Manlo, entered the room at some point. "Mr. Ye, it's time for you to take your medicine," she said as she put the tray on the couch and handed Ye Wenming the medicine and glass of water.Ye Wenming took them and swallowed the medicine.After taking Ye Wenming's temperature and blood pressure, Ruan Manlo said, "Mr. Ye, the person who came here today...""Ignore her. I'm tired and want to sleep. Go out first," said Ye Wenming."Okay," said Ruan Manlo as she slowly exited the room. However, she could not help glancing at Ye Wenming before closing the door.She had heard from Secretary Liang that the visitor was Mr. Ye's wife.She did not expect Mr. Ye to have a wife, but his wife never appeared during the most painful period of Mr. Ye's recuperation.How could such a person qualify to be Mrs. Ye?Ruan Manlo came down the stairs angrily. She was a nurse in a big hospital and was young, beautiful, and capable. This time, she got lucky and was chosen to be Mr. Ye's pr
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
