However, now the room was quiet with no one making a sound. Ling Yiran noticed that Old Master Yi was looking at her very carefully, but there was some disdain and disgust in his eyes.Besides a nurse, there was also the man who brought her here. He had claimed to be Old Master Yi's private secretary."Do you know why I brought you here?" Finally, after a while, Old Master Yi's voice broke the silence."Yes," replied Ling Yiran. "It's probably because of Yi Jinli." It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous on her way here. However, once she got here, she somehow calmed down after looking at Old Master Yi's disgusted eyes.She had been through the worst, so how bad could it get now?Old Master Yi snorted. "You would know!""What are you trying to say?" Ling Yiran asked outright. Perhaps because she was really tired after all she had gone through, but she did not want to beat around the bush anymore."I never thought he would let you live in Yi residence. Do women like you
Did she not study law in the hope that justice would be served? However, now she could not even serve her own justice."You're clever," the man snorted before saying.Ling Yiran's hands were tightly clenched into fists. Being trampled on was just that easy!She trembled more and more as the dagger came closer to her face. Suddenly, she lowered herself and rushed toward the door of the ward.However, when she opened the door, she was suddenly held down by the two bodyguards who were guarding the door.The man went up to Ling Yiran and sneered. "I thought you were brave, but it turns out you were just finding the opportunity to run away. However, just like you said, there's no escape."Yes, there was no escape, but at least she wanted to give herself the option of resisting even if she was a prey that was at the mercy of others.Ling Yiran was once again brought into the room. Just as she saw that the dagger was about to cut her face this time, the door of the room was suddenly ki
Previously, on this day, Yi Jinli would not leave Yi residence even if it was at night. Not even if there was a big event. He would spend the night at his father's spirit tablet, telling himself not to repeat his father's mistakes.This went on year after year.However, tonight was different!...Ling Yiran was led out of the hospital by Yi Jinli.A black car pulled up in front of the hospital. After getting into the car, Ling Yiran still felt like she was dreaming.She thought tonight was going to be her nightmare, but she did not expect him to show up."Are you scared?" he asked as he put his hand over hers, which was still shaking even now.Ling Yiran bit her lower lip and nodded her head. Yes, how could she not be afraid? It was as if her fate was completely in the hands of someone else, and all her struggles were so powerless.It was as if someone else's word could determine her life and death."It's my fault," Yi Jinli said. "I didn't think the old man would touch you.
He was not in the room.Then where could he be? Downstairs?However, when Ling Yiran got downstairs, Yi Jinli was not there either.She even went out of the house after not finding him in the main house.The Yi residence was very large. Besides the main house, there were the servants' rooms, the garden, other pavilions, and ponds.After living in Yi residence for so long, she had never really explored Yi residence and had no idea how big it was.It was nearly midnight, and as far as the eye could see, it was dark except for a few lights along the way.The night wind was a little chilly and Ling Yiran could not help turning up her collar. She could not help wondering why she was looking for Yi Jinli. Was she afraid that something might have happened to him?What else could happen to him in Yi residence?At last, she could only explain to herself that he had saved her life today and that she just wanted peace of mind.Suddenly, a flash of light caught her attention.She saw wh
She hesitated a little before saying. "Nothing. It's just that after you took me to my room, I saw that you didn't go back to your room but headed to the stairs. I wondered if there was something wrong with you. Uhh, If you're all right, I'll go..."She said and turned to leave.The next moment, however, a pair of arms encircled her from behind. "Are you worried about me, Sis?"Ling Yiran's whole body seemed to be enveloped in his scent, and for a moment she did not know what to say.Worried? Was she worried about him?She seemed confused. Was it because he saved her tonight? Therefore, instead of thinking of him as Yi Jinli tonight, she was taking him as Jin and worried about him?Ling Yiran was thinking about it when suddenly his breathing seemed to fasten in her ear. There was a faint muffled moaning in his throat. His arms, which had encircled her, gradually loosened.Ling Yiran turned around and saw that Yi Jinli was now pale with beads of sweat on his forehead. He was hold
"What if the pain gets worse if you don't take your medicine?" asked Ling Yiran. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Ling Yiran pulled out her phone and browsed the online pharmacy.Although the pharmacy was a little far, it was all right if she paid enough service fees. Besides, the medicine would arrive in 20 minutes. That way, it was faster than waiting for the security to buy the medicine.Ling Yiran thought for a moment and decided to place the order through her phone. She ordered the same medicine she had bought for Yi Jinli last time. After placing the order successfully, her eyes once again fell on him.He was already curled up into a ball. His lips were pressed together as if to muffle the murmur that was about to burst from his mouth, but it made his breath sound a little more subdued.His eyes were now closed. His long fan-like lashes cast a shadow beneath his eyes.The man who ruled Shen City looked like a vulnerable and helpless child right now. It was as if
Ling Yiran then said to Yi Jinli, "Wait here while I go and get the medicine." With that, she hurried out of the mourning hall.Yi Jinli laid on the sofa. Wait here... That was also what she had said previously when she went out to buy medicine for him late at night.All right. He would wait. He would wait for her to come back......Ling Yiran hurried to the residence's iron gate. There was a street lamp beside the iron gate, which happened to shine on the deliveryman's bewildered face.The delivery man did not expect to deliver medicine to the entrance of such a big mansion."You ordered this? Miss Ling?" the man asked."Yes, it's me," Ling Yiran replied as she took the medicine from the man. She thanked him before she turned and ran in the direction of the mourning hall.The deliveryman scratched his head. He glanced at the huge mansion that seemed endless, still a little bewildered.In Yi residence's security room, several security guards gawked at the surveillance screen
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. She... returned, panting just like before. Even though she was afraid of him, disgusted with him, and perhaps even hated him, she did not want him to hurt? At the thought of this, it seemed that even the pain in his body had become much less intense.Yi Jinli cooperated by opening his lips and swallowing the medicine Ling Yiran fed him. Her eyes fell on his lips, and sure enough, there were distinct teeth marks on his lips. He must have been in such severe pain that he bit his lips."If you look at me like that again, you'll make me think you want to kiss me." Yi Jinli's voice rang. Ling Yiran immediately came to herself, her face turning red all of a sudden. "I just saw that you bit your lip. I didn't mean anything.""It… doesn't matter if you mean anything else. You can kiss me whenever you want, Sis," he said. Though his face was still pale and his forehead was still covered with a layer of thin sweat, he did not stammer as he had
