Disappointment flashed across Zhong Keke's eyes. 'Yeah, what am I thinking? How could a man like him fall in love with another person so easily?'

However, his next statement turned the disappointment in her eyes into shock.

"But I think I like you," the elegant voice said.

"You... like me?" Zhong Keke asked in disbelief.

"I don't think I'd let you kiss me if I didn’t like you, and I don't think I'd let you force yourself on me either," Gu Lichen said slowly.

He would have been disgusted if another woman had said these.

However, he was only amused when she said those words. He even had the impulse to satisfy her.

He had never had this feeling.

Zhong Keke only felt her heart beating quickly. What he just said was like music to her ears. "Do you really like me?"

There was excitement and anticipation in her big, round eyes, but they seemed to contain wariness too. It was as if she feared the answer would be no.

His heart broke a little. He seemed to have seen the old him in her.

    She and Gu Lichen lay in the same bed that night, but Gu Lichen did not do anything to her. He only lay beside her.However, she did... uh... touch him a little bit, especially his shapely abs.Of course, she did that unconsciously after she fell asleep. When she woke up in the morning, her hand was still in his bathrobe, pressed against his abs!Thinking of what had happened when she woke up this morning, Zhong Keke had the impulse to kill herself. He must think she was a pervert now!Gu Lichen drove back to the city in the morning."Do you want to return to your apartment or studio?" he asked."Uh... My apartment," she said."Alright," he replied and drove toward her apartment.The car fell silent again.After a long pause, his voice suddenly rang out. "What's the matter? Are you embarrassed to talk to me now because you love me?""Cough... Cough..." She choked. Well, he was right.He glanced at her flushed face out of the corners of his eyes. "You seem to blush easily.

    He smiled. "Yes, you can."His assurance immediately dispelled her tension. A smile spread from the corners of her lips. He fell into a trance when he saw her smile.He found the smile beautiful.When she got out of the car, waved at him, and turned to walk into the apartment, he slowly raised his fingers and touched his lips where she had just kissed.His usually cool lips were burning slightly...."You checked into a hotel room with Gu Lichen!" Zhou Xinmian looked at her best friend. Things had escalated a little too quickly."No. We only checked into a hotel to dry our wet clothes," Zhong Keke hastened to explain."But didn't you spend the night at the hotel? Do you know how worried I was? I couldn't get through to you. I almost went to the police!" joked Zhou Xinmian.Zhong Keke touched her nose awkwardly. She found many missed calls and text messages from her best friend after charging her phone as soon as she got home."Well... Didn't I call you back as soon as I charg

    As far as she knew, such charity galas had nothing to do with her. At most, she would only read relevant content online. She never expected an opportunity to attend one."Who else was invited?" Zhong Keke asked."They also invited the male lead, Bai Ruoqing," said Zhou Xinmian."That's it?" Zhong Keke blinked."That's it," said Zhou Xinmian.Bai Ruoqing was a popular celebrity, so it was reasonable to invite him. However, the other directors, the producer, and the female lead were not invited. Instead, they invited her—the original author. It was weird. As if seeing her best friend's doubt, Zhou Xinmian explained, "I think people in the circle know you're the crown prince's girlfriend, so it's natural that you would be invited to a charity gala like this. "Zhong Keke was instantly enlightened. "Can I skip it?" After all, she shuddered at the prospect of facing reporters' cameras and questions."You can ask Gu Lichen for his opinion. Attending charity galas will do you some go

    "Why don't you choose a new outfit? I'll prepare the jewelry for you," he said."No thanks. It’ll be a waste to get a new one. I don't often wear gowns and jewelry either," said Zhong Keke."You're going to need them more in the future, so you might as well have more," said Gu Lichen.She froze, thinking he was implying something.After dinner, Zhong Keke and Gu Lichen went to the lakeside for a walk.The night breeze blew past them. It was comfortable.There were many couples by the lakeside. Zhong Keke could not help but envy the couples walking hand in hand.Although she had held hands with Gu Lichen before, she was usually the one taking the initiative to do with while he just agreed. He would never have held her hand when they were alone if she did not mention it.Even if he said he liked her... the affection was probably far from the love between lovers.Zhong Keke's eyes fell on the couples' intertwined hands from time to time.Suddenly, Zhong Keke froze and looked b

    "So I won't kiss you or do anything more intimate with you than holding hands and hugging from now on," Zhong Keke seemingly said with determination.He frowned when he heard her say this, and a sudden discomfort overwhelmed him. "But didn't you say you're happy to do those?""I'm happy, but it's not fair to you. If it were me, I wouldn't enjoy someone I don't love treating me like that," said Zhong Keke."I don't mind...""But I do!" She looked up and widened her eyes to meet his beautiful phoenix eyes. "When we’re being intimate, I hope you’re in love with me. People would want to be close to each other because they love each other, right? It’ll become a burden if only one party is in love."He stared darkly at her as he pressed his thin lips. Her eyes were so clear that he was flustered.'Do I really not hate her being intimate with me? Did I say yes only because we're a couple?'"It's up to you. If you think it's unnecessary, then we don't have to do those things," he said i

    "Okay," replied Zhong Keke as she walked into the changing room. With the staff's help, she changed into the gown.The gown fit her well, making her look classy and elegant.The makeup artist started to apply Zhong Keke's makeup. While they chatted, Zhong Keke learned that the gown and jewelry were made by the same famous foreign designer. Besides that, it was the only set."This gown and jewelry got quite a few compliments when they were shown at the fashion show. Many people wanted to buy the set. Who knew Young Master Gu bought it and gave it to you, Miss Zhong? Young Master Gu really cares about you," the makeup artist smiled and said. Their words were somewhat obsequious.Zhong Keke smiled politely. She and Gu Lichen were not what others thought they were.However, she had to admit that Gu Lichen had given her enough face as his girlfriend even though he did not love her. At least outsiders thought he doted on her.When her makeup and hair were done, Zhong Keke looked at her

    "I was wondering who became Young Master Gu's girlfriend. I didn't expect it to be a comic artist. She's probably not popular. I've never heard of her.""A woman like her probably just wants to find a rich husband.”They talked as if no one was there, and their tone was full of contempt for Zhong Keke.Some even looked at Zhong Keke with disdain and said, "Why don't you tell us how you fooled Young Master Gu into becoming your boyfriend?” Zhong Keke looked at the people in front of her. Judging from their outfits, they were probably socialites of Shen City like Song Qingyao.They were looking at her maliciously."Do you think the 'Young Master Gu' you speak of is a person who gets fool easily?" Zhong Keke asked in reply. She knew she could not show weakness. Showing weakness would only make these people push their luck as well as embarrass Gu Lichen."You..." The expression of the woman who asked the question turned ghastly. "What a smart mouth! I've met a lot of women like yo

    "I like it. It's beautiful," said Zhong Keke."Let me help you with the jewelry," he said, taking the sapphire necklace and helping her put it on.The rich and delicate necklace added a touch of classiness to her when she wore it around her smooth neck."Why aren't you apologizing?" Just then, Gu Lichen's voice rang out again, but he was now talking to Song Qingyao and the rest.They instantly looked at each other. Song Qingyao even looked shocked. "You... You want me to apologize?""Shouldn't you? Since you know Keke is my girlfriend, you should know what to say and what not to say." His indifferent voice gave people a faint sense of danger.Gu Lichen leaned over, picked up the sapphire earrings, and carefully helped Zhong Keke put them on. This gentle gesture was in sharp contrast to the indifferent tone he had just used to speak to Song Qingyao.Song Qingyao clenched her teeth. She had admired him since she was a child, but he had never considered having her as his girlfriend

    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
