At this moment, Ling Luoyin stared at the painting in front of her. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.Before this, when she walked past this atelier and wanted to take a look, she got stopped by Gu Lichen.Once more, she could not control her curiosity. She pushed open the door and walked in.However, she did not expect to see Ling Yiran’s portrait.It was not Ling Yiran when she was an adult, but rather it was her when she was a child.There was a little girl carrying a little boy on her back in the painting. The little girl was Ling Yiran when she was young.The floral dress the little girl was wearing... Ling Luoyin recalled seeing the same dress in Ling Yiran’s photo album.‘What’s going on? Why is there a portrait of Ling Yiran in Lichen’s atelier? What’s the relationship between Lichen and Ling Yiran?’Too many questions appeared in Ling Luoyin’s brain. Panic rose in her heart. This feeling was even more intense than what she felt just now.It was as Ling Yiran was ab
After a long while, she heard him sigh. Then, he straightened his back. His mesmerizing eyes looked at her helplessly. “It’s only you.”Only her. She was the only one he longed to have. Just her. She was the only one who could make him helpless after being rejected. It was as if he was becoming less and less like himself in front of her.“Help me dry my hair,” he said. Then, he handed the towel that he planned to dry his wet hair with to her.She looked at him in shock as he lowered his head before her.“What’s wrong? Didn’t you always dry my hair for me when we were in the rented house?” he asked while lifting his eyebrow.Things were way different back then! Ling Yiran pressed her lips together. Eventually, she started drying his hair for him.Since the towel covered his face, it made her slightly more relaxed.He was like an obedient puppy that was allowing her to dry his hair. At this moment, Ling Yiran had a weird feeling. It was as if she was his ruler and he was bowing do
“I’ll listen to you. So, are you willing to like me?” When he said that, she started to feel slightly hesitant.If… If he was not Yi Jinli, perhaps… she might like him.However, he was Yi Jinli. During the three years in prison, his existence was like a nightmare to her. He was someone she feared from the bottom of her heart.…Ling Yiran felt that she did not even know what was going on between her and Yi Jinli anymore. She was scared of him. She was terrified of him, but sometimes, she could not control herself from worrying about him.When he looked at her with such a serious expression on his face and said those touching words, she would once again be at a loss.Was he really treating her as a game or was he being serious? What about her? Did she feel anything for him?She could only let this progress slowly. It was as if she had sunk into a swamp. She wanted to get out of there, but she was sinking deeper and deeper instead.She finished delivering all of the takeouts. Lin
“Wait.” He grabbed her instantly. “Are you mad? I didn’t mean to look down on your job with what I said just now.”She looked at him weirdly. “I’m not mad.” If she were to be mad about this, she would have died from anger a long time ago.“If you want to, I can find a better job for you,” Gu Lichen said.“Mr. Gu, I don’t think we’re that close. You don’t need to help me find another job. I’m perfectly happy with what I’m doing now,” Ling Yiran said and glanced at his hand that was holding hers. “Can you let go? I need to deliver these.”The dark pair of eyes stared at her. After a while, he finally let go of his hand. Not close? However, he knew her better than she knew herself.He knew about her past from his conversation with Ling Luoyin. He knew everything about her, from her youth to her adulthood…“You’re happy with what you’re doing now?” He chuckled softly. “A former lawyer is happy with being a delivery person?”Ling Yiran’s eyes became dim. Lawyer… It sounded so far awa
“He just asked me where you are and I said you’re in the kitchen, so he just glanced at the kitchen.” Mrs. Zhuo asked curiously, “Who is that person? Do you know him?”After all, when her daughter saw him, she immediately ran away.There was a complex look on Zhuo Qianyun’s face. “That’s Gu Lichen. He’s the young master of the entertainment industry. When I was… with that person, I saw him a few times.”“Will he recognize you?” Mrs. Zhuo asked anxiously.Zhuo Qianyun sighed. “I’m afraid… he did.” Even though she looked completely different than how she looked before, if Gu Lichen had not recognized her, he would not have asked that before he left.Mrs. Zhuo’s face fell. “Then… What should we do? Will he tell that person about this? I think he knows Yiran. Why don’t we ask Yiran to help talk to him for us?”Zhuo Qianyun bit her lip. She was also puzzled right now. She thought Gu Lichen had wandered into her shop unintentionally, but now, it seemed like he was waiting for Yiran.H
Does it mean that Young Master Yi wanted to be liked by Miss Ling? Gao Congming knew the answer, but he still could not hide his surprise. Since when did Young Master Yi care about whether a woman liked him or not?“Miss Ling… suffered quite a lot before. I’m afraid she can see things clearer than anyone. Plus, if you go hard on a woman like her, maybe she’ll listen to you on the surface, but she might distance herself from you.” Gao Cong ming analyzed the situation for Yi Jinli. “From what I can see, Miss Ling is the kind that prefers the soft approach. Why don’t you try to humble yourself in front of her? Maybe it’ll make her put down her walls.”“So, she’ll only like me if I fawn over her?” Yi Jinli muttered.Gao Congming blinked, looking shocked. He… He just suggested that his boss should be humble. he did not say to fawn over her.Um… If Young Master Yi wanted to fawn over this woman, then what kind of woman…“How should I fawn over her then?” Yi Jinli said.Gao Congming fel
The man was wearing a suit, accentuating his perfect features. He looked like a prince from a manga. People might not believe that her boyfriend was someone like this.Qin Lianyi wanted to sigh into the heavens. She recalled what had happened these few days and thought that she was extremely miserable.Everything started from that blind date. She thought that since everything had already gone to sh*t, that would be the end of it.To her surprise, she was scolded furiously by her mother the moment she got home after the blind date. Her mother questioned her about why she did not tell them that she had a boyfriend. The person who introduced her to the blind date even called her parents and scolded them. They said she embarrassed the entire family.Then, her parents started to ask her who her boyfriend was.When this happened, Qin Lianyi denied it, of course. She said he was just a friend who passed by. He knew she did not want to go on the blind date, so he tried to help her.In th
The elevator got here after a short while. However, the people who got out were Qin Lianyi’s neighbors. When they saw Qin Lianyi, they started greeting her. “Lianyi, you’re back. This must be your boyfriend.”Her neighbor said and kept looking at Bai Tingxin.Qin Lianyi hesitated. Before she could get back to her senses, Bai Tingxin opened his mouth and replied, “Yeah, I’m Lianyi’s boyfriend.”“Hehe, I think I’ll be able to attend your wedding party soon.” The neighbor laughed before saying urgently, “Lianyi, your mother has been nagging the entire day. She’s waiting to meet your boyfriend.”Qin Lianyi was feeling awkward. She finally knew why her neighbor knew that Bai Tingxin was her boyfriend. It seemed that her mother had already announced this to everyone.They walked into the elevator. Qin Lianyi looked at Bai Tingxin. The other party was looking at her with a half-smile on his face.She blushed uncontrollably. She hesitated for a while and reminded him. “Um… My parents mig
