"Besides..." She paused. "They took all the money for my parents’ death and even a lot of my parents’ inheritance. They're not that poor. They're just... too greedy."

She did not want to feed their greed.

"Alright, enough about that." Zhong Keke pulled herself together and took a deep breath. "I have to continue drawing storyboards. I’ll have to burn the midnight oil today if I don't finish them."

She said and returned to her work desk to work on her storyboards.

Gu Lichen watched Zhong Keke in silence and could not help falling into a trance.

...

By the time Zhong Keke finished drawing the storyboards, it was already past six o’clock.

"Sorry, I lost track of time," she quickly apologized.

"Are you done?" Gu Lichen asked.

"Yeah."

"Let's get dinner, then. What do you want?" Gu Lichen asked.

"How about the small restaurant near the studio? The same restaurant we ran into each other the second time," said Zhong Keke.

Gu Lichen's eyes twinkled. The restaurant was the small nood

    She hurriedly said, "Of course, it's okay if you're not free. I... I'll go by myself. I always go by myself anyway."He said, "I'm free. I can go with you. I was only thinking about what I'd need to take with me if I'm going to pay my respects."She breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't have to bring anything. I'll prepare the incense sticks, candles, and food. You only have to show up."With that said, she lowered her head and continued eating.Watching her lower her head, he felt pity rising in his heart. Speaking of which, he was an indifferent man. He seldom pitied others.However, he wanted to protect the woman, or at least ensure she did not get hurt....Ye Wenming soon arranged the accommodation and asked Zhuo Qianyun to move there. As Ye Wenming put it, they should go out since they were pretending to be a loving couple in front of the reporters.Zhuo Qianyun had also talked with her mother, but Mrs. Zhuo said, "Take Lil Yan and Lil Si with you. I'll stay in the store

    "Alright, Lil Yan. Accompany your sister for a while first. I want to talk to your dad alone," Zhuo Qianyun said to her son. As she spoke, she put her already six-month-old daughter on the soft couch.Zhuo Yan then took his sister's toy and played with her.Zhuo Qianyun looked at Ye Wenming and said, "Let's go somewhere to talk."He glanced at her before lifting his hand to take Zhuo Qianyun's. He then headed toward his study on the second floor.Zhuo Qianyun tried to pull her hand away, but Ye Wenming muttered, "We have servants in the mansion. If you don't want them to think we're too indifferent to each other, you'd better stay still."Zhuo Qianyun stiffened and clenched her teeth. She did not withdraw her hand again but followed Ye Wenming to the study.After entering the study and closing the door, Ye Wenming quickly released his hands and said to Zhuo Qianyun, "Alright, what do you want to talk to me about?""I just want to tell you that I’ll spend the day at the store and

    "Zhuo Qianyun, aren't you going to pretend to be a loving couple with me? Can't you take even one kiss? How are you going to convince people that we’re in love?" Ye Wenming said."I'll pay attention in public, of course. But I don't want to do anything extra when it's just the two of us," she said. Such intimacy might only stir up her hard-won calmness."Anything extra?" Ye Wenming's voice was cold as his eyes stared at her."Am I wrong?" She looked up to meet his eyes.The two looked at each other, and silence filled the air.Pressing her slightly dry lips, Zhuo Qianyun broke the silence, changed the subject, and said, "By the way, I can stay in the same room as Lil Yan and Lil Si. Lil Si can sleep in a crib.""I've arranged Lil Yan's room. You're sharing a room with me. I’ll have the crib moved to our bedroom later," said Ye Wenming."A room?" Zhuo Qianyun froze."Don't you think it’ll be strange for a loving couple to sleep separately? We have many servants in the mansion, a

    He was still stupefied.He had only glanced at the baby briefly when she was born.After she gave birth, the baby spent so much time in the neonatal unit that he could only look at her through the glass.Maybe he subconsciously thought he would get attached to the baby and become reluctant to part with her the longer he looked at her."Well... I'm going to wash up. Hold her for a while if she wakes up and starts crying. She'll stop crying as long as someone's carrying her," said Zhuo Qianyun.Ye Wenming frowned slightly. 'Hold... the little one?'"Okay, got it." Speaking of which, he had never held her.Zhuo Qianyun went into the bathroom to wash up. When she was done and opened the bathroom door, she heard her daughter crying. Ye Wenming was carrying the baby in a fluster.Zhuo Qianyun hurried forward. When Ye Wenming saw her, he immediately asked, "Didn't you say she'd stop crying as long as someone was holding her?"Zhuo Qianyun said, "That's usually the case. It's probably

    Zhuo Qianyun froze before stepping forward and handing the bottle to Ye Wenming.He held the bottle, hesitated, and put the teat in the little one's mouth to feed her.However, his hands and feet uncontrollably stiffened as he fed the baby. It was a simple movement, but he could not help stiffening.It was as if he was deeply afraid that the little one in his arms would choke if he fed her too quickly.After all, the small baby was delicate and frail. It was as if something bad would happen to the baby if he was not careful.Zhuo Qianyun watched Ye Wenming feeding their daughter milk with a gentle expression. Maybe moving here was not too bad after all. At least... her daughter got to receive some fatherly love.After finishing the milk, Zhuo Qianyun began teaching Ye Wenming to burp the child.Ye Wenming did not refuse this time. He held the baby vertically and patted her back with one hand.He patted the little one repeatedly until she fell asleep during the burping.Ye Wenm

    'Is she pretending to be asleep to avoid embarrassment? Or does she not want to see me anymore?'Her scent seemed to linger around his nose, making his heart feel heavy as if something was blocking it. His body seemed to stiffen.She was right beside him, but he became confused. He had no idea what to do with this woman.'Do I... still love her?'What will I do if I can't fall for her or I’m able to resist her attraction? Are we doomed to divorce and separate? Or am I going to make a different choice?'In the darkness, Ye Wenming slowly turned over and fixed his gaze on Zhuo Qianyun's face.He could only see the outline of her face in the dim light, but... it made his eyes burn.It turned out even a faint outline could haunt his mind!...On Wednesday, Zhong Keke prepared the items she needed to pay respects to her parents. She carried a big bag downstairs where Gu Lichen's car was already there.When he saw her come out, he opened the car door, took the bag, and put it in th

    The car was silent throughout the journey.Zhong Keke hung her head low. No one knew what she was thinking.When Gu Lichen parked his car at the cemetery parking lot near the entrance, Zhong Keke suddenly said, "I... I just think your chances of falling in love with me are slim. It won't be me even if you do end up falling in love with another woman in the future. So I... I..."She could not go on. She felt inferior.After all, she was so different from him in terms of family background and everything else.Gu Lichen quietly peered at the person in front of him. Moments later, he unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over slightly, and raised Zhong Keke's jaw with his slender fingers. "Are you that unsure of yourself?""I..."His thin lips said gently, "Then you'd better remember what I'm saying now. You're the first person I've decided to try to love in years. If there's ever a chance I can fall in love with someone, then I think you're the most likely person."She was stunned, surp

    He was only standing there but looked like a celebrity or supermodel out of a poster.If her parents were still alive, they would be amazed to meet someone like Gu Lichen.Would they have difficulty believing she had found such a brilliant boyfriend?'It’d be great if they were still alive...' Zhong Keke's nose turned sore as her eyes reddened."Are you going to cry?" Gu Lichen noticed something different about her.Zhong Keke sniffed and suddenly muttered, "Do you know I caused my parents' death? It's why my aunt calls me a jinx and thinks I'm someone who brings bad luck to people."She had kept some things in her heart for years. She had never told anyone about them, but she suddenly wanted to confide in him."You've never been a jinx, so don't take it all on yourself," he said."But it was my fault. My dad wasn't feeling well that day, but I made a fuss and insisted on going to the canyon, so my dad took some fever medicine and drove me and my mom there. But the fever medici

    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!

    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
