He had never said these words before, but as he looked at her standing before his father's spirit tablet, he just naturally said it.It was as if he could only get the words out of his heart when he was facing her."Speaking of which, my father must have seen a lot of women in his day, and there must have been some prettier ones. What a fool he was to give up everything for a woman like that," muttered Yi Jinli."Your father did not necessarily like your mother because she was pretty. Sometimes looks are not that important when a person likes another person. Besides, they'll like them whether they’re good or bad," said Ling Yiran.Yi Jinli's eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze settled firmly on Ling Yiran's face. "Maybe… it's just like you said. Sometimes looks are not that important when a person likes another person…"It was just like how he liked her. He had seen women who were more beautiful, more understanding of a man's heart, and more accommodating than her. However, he j
"What's the matter?" Ling Yiran asked in confusion as Yi Jinli stopped in his tracks."Nothing," Yi Jinli replied dryly with his head down."How are you feeling now?" asked Ling Yiran when they returned to the main house."Much better," he answered."Even if your stomachache is an old problem, you still have to go to the doctor to get it fixed when you're free," said Ling Yiran. "Some illnesses are minor ones that we don't pay attention to and they'll eventually develop into something serious.""Are you worried about me, Sis?" he said as a smile rose from the corners of his mouth.She choked and wanted to go upstairs. She was a little embarrassed. However, he suddenly raised his hand and took her directly into his arms. "All right, I promise you. I'll find the time to find a doctor and get my body in order. I'll also be good and take the medicine you bought me today. Would you like me a little more if I listened to you?""What?" She was a little stunned. What was he saying? Did
The call was finally over and Ling Yiran said, "What did your mother say to you? You look so miserable that you even mentioned kneeling on a keyboard.""What else can it be? Blind dates," Qin Lianyi said as she rolled her eyes. "My mother said that this man is a good catch. She managed to grab him from the other aunts so that I can have a go first."Qin Lianyi was speechless with her mother's thinking, Her mother seemed to think that if she could not get married in these two years, she might never get married."Then go and meet him. Think of it as an opportunity," said Ling Yiran after thinking about it for a moment."No, I'm frustrated enough. I might go crazy if I go on another blind date." Qin Lianyi wanted to vomit blood every time she thought of how her mother pestered her to go on blind dates."Why? Is there something else?" asked Ling Yiran.Qin Lianyi looked at her best friend before saying, "Will it surprise you if I tell you I'm dating Bai Tingxin?"Ling Yiran almost
After all... Lianyi had not experienced too much of the dark side, unlike her who had seen so much darkness in the prison that she sometimes did not even have the strength to cry."Poof!" Qin Lianyi spat out the pudding which she had not yet swallowed and quickly took a tissue to wipe it. Then, she said to Ling Yiran, "At least joke when I'm not eating, Yiran. You're taking the joke too far.""I mean it," said Ling Yiran.They stared at each other for a long time before Qin Lianyi laughed and said, "We're not meant for each other even if he's really still in love with me. What kind of family do you think the Bai family is? If I get together with him, then the rest of my life will be one big internal fight in a wealthy family. With my skills, I reckon I'll be beaten to bits in a minute."Uh, just forget about it. Once she paid off her ‘debt’ to Bai Tingxin, she would be free."Let's not talk about it. By the way, you said you got a new job. How is it? Everything all right?" said Qi
All right! All confirmed.Qin Lianyi stepped forward and said, "Are you Mr. Zhang, Zhang Guangtian? Hello, I'm Qin Lianyi.""Hello," he replied as he looked her over."Well... I wanted to tell you that I..." Qin Lianyi wanted to apologize to him. After all, she went on the blind date today without really meaning it. She just wanted to deal with her mother. She could treat him to dinner later and just become friends with him.Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her. "Why don't we take a walk? I saw a small park next to the supermarket. Why don't we go there?"Huh? The park?Qin Lianyi glanced at the already darkened sky and looked at the time. It was already past five o 'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost time for dinner. "Don't you want to eat first?"Her remark was a well-meaning reminder. This was a crowded place after all. By dinner time, people would have to queue for a lot of restaurants around here. If they went for dinner after taking a walk in the
"Who is he, Miss Qin?" asked Zhang Guangtian."Yes, tell him. Who am I?" Bai Tingxin said as he looked at Qin Lianyi.All of a sudden, both men were looking at her. Qin Lianyi felt as if she was about to be badly pricked by the two men's gazes.One was the blind date her mother snatched while the other one was her newly appointed boyfriend who came to collect her debt. She could not afford to offend either of them!However, after comparing the two, she would choose the one with lesser damage. Compared to her mother who was behind the man, Qin Lianyi still felt that Bai Tingxin could not be offended, so she smiled rather lamely and said to Zhang Guangtian, "I almost forgot, Mr. Zhang. This is my boyfriend. Uh, his last name is Bai."With that, Zhang Guangtian's face immediately took on a ghastly expression. "Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?""Yes... Yes, I do..." Qin Lianyi answered him guiltily. No matter how strange Zhang Guangtian was before, in this case, she was at fault.Zh
Qin Lianyi was almost choked by his words. Cheating? What the hell! She had not cheated!However, in the presence of Bai Tingxin, she thought for a while and explained, "Well... My mother forced me to go on a blind date. She would disown me if I didn’t. I tried to tell him that I have a boyfriend, but he interrupted me."She was not lying."Your mother forced you to go on the blind date?" he asked as he raised his eyebrows."Yes, yes!" She smiled lamely. In short, her mother was extremely aggressive in forcing her to go on blind dates. She was the type who would be tortured to bits."You didn't tell your family that you have a boyfriend?" he asked with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.Qin Lianyi was suddenly guilty. Tell her mom and dad? How was she supposed to tell them? Bai Tingxin's identity alone would probably frighten her mom and dad, especially when… she and Bai Tingxin were inconclusive. They were just going through the motions."We started dating so suddenly, and it would
She looked just like a greedy piglet.Bai Tingxin was not sure which restaurant was good in the area, but this did not stop Qin Lianyi from taking him to a restaurant she liked."This restaurant serves some special dishes, some of which you can't find in other restaurants, only here." Once they were in the restaurant, Qin Lianyi took the menu and began to order enthusiastically.She started to introduce the dishes as she ordered. When she was halfway through, she found Bai Tingxin staring at her gloomily."Uh. Sorry, I'm talking too much," she said."It's all right. You can continue, I'll just listen," Bai Tingxin said lightly.Qin Lianyi touched her nose but did not know what to say all of a sudden. "Well... Why are you here today?" she asked as she did not know what to say. However, she wanted to bite her tongue as soon as she said it.It was not easy for her to get past the blind date issue, and now, she was mentioning it herself.Sure enough, he looked at her and said, "If
