"No, it's fine here!" Ling Yiran said quickly. The cemetery plot he had chosen for her mother was in a separate spot in the cemetery, not in line with the rest.If one were to describe them as houses, the rows and rows of tombs were apartments while the tomb he had chosen was like a mansion.It was a small independent space surrounded by a row of trees. There were even stone tables and chairs a few meters in front of the tomb for visitors to rest."Great. Then you can put your mother's ashes in," said Yi Jinli.Ling Yiran nodded, stooped down, and placed her mother's cinerary casket in the hole in front of the tombstone where the ashes were kept. Then, the workers covered it with the slate and poured cement over it to seal it.The cemetery staff presented Ling Yiran with a contract for the cemetery. It was a one-time contract for 50 years.However, Ling Yiran saw that the cost was a huge amount. Even before her incident, she might not have been able to afford such an expensive ce
Dark hair, moon-white skin, and a sleek neck. From her line of vision, she could see the shape of one of his ears and the profile of his face. She could not take her eyes off of him. She even felt that his ears looked better than the average man's.When he straightened up and turned to face her, she felt as if something had struck her heart.In the moonlight, his eyes were like peach blossom petals that fell on the lake, causing silver ripples. His lips opened and closed. They acted like strings that stirred her heart up.Just then, it was as if the sky and the earth had disappeared. She could only see him.Then, she watched as his face got closer and closer to her. His features were exquisite, like God's most elaborate masterpiece."What happened?" Her ears finally heard his voice.She shuddered. She came back to her senses only to discover that she had fallen into a trance just by looking at him."No... Nothing," Ling Yiran said quickly."If there's nothing else, we can go
She would look at him and fall in a trance for a moment as if they were incomparably close. However, the next moment, her eyes seemed to return to their usual way of desperately trying to get away from him.What was different from the past was that it now seemed to be a struggle.For a moment, she did not know how to answer him. Her face turned redder and redder under his gaze."Why won't you look at me? I want you to look at me, Sis!" He leaned close to her as he spoke. It was as if she had been mesmerized by his voice as her eyes fell unconsciously on his face. This man was looking at her tenderly right now, and there seemed to be longing and attachment in that look.His bangs were pulled back, revealing his full forehead. In her mind, he was constantly overlapping with Jin in her memory.Jin used to look at her like that."Do you like me in any way?" His voice once again murmured in her ear.A flash of guilt crossed her face, and she opened her mouth to deny it. However, he
All he wanted from the very beginning was for her to be willing.However, as time went on, he wanted more.He wanted her to like him more. He wanted her to like no other man except him.He could not even accept the possibility that her future would involve another man besides him. Every time he thought of this possibility, he would be filled with a pang of jealousy.Jealousy... It was because of her that he finally knew what jealousy felt like.Ling Yiran raised her eyes and looked at Yi Jinli carefully. His hand was hot against her cheek, and the details of his time with her these days kept coming back to her.Even though she somehow still feared him, perhaps she liked him as he had said in the car.Perhaps she liked him when he was Jin."Do you really want me to like you?" she muttered."Yes," he answered without hesitation."What kind of feelings do you have for me? Is it because you think I'm new? Therefore... I'm a good game object?" She plucked up her courage to ask her
Perhaps she had said those words somewhat impulsively last night, but the things she said were also true. She did seem to have fallen in love with this man without even knowing it... This man was called Yi Jinli.She felt a mixture of fear and affection for him. They were two different emotions, but they somehow mixed well together."You also said you want to date me, right?" He added."Ahh!" Ling Yiran froze suddenly. Then, she remembered that he had held her in his arms after she said that she liked him last night."What do I have to do for you to like me alone and not anyone else?"When she heard this, she said, "Like you alone... Do you mean as a boyfriend?""Boyfriend? Is Sis trying to date me?" he murmured in a somewhat indulgent whisper at her words.Date? When the word burst into her mind, it was as if her mind had gone blank. Perhaps it was because she had never thought about dating him.He looked at her with a smile. "Then let's date. What do you think, Sis?"Ling Yi
"It seems that I was right the other day. It was you." Gu Lichen calmly glanced at Zhuo Qianyun. "Did you come to beg me not to tell Ye Wenming about seeing you?"Zhuo Qianyun's body shuddered when she heard the words ‘Ye Wenming’. She had not heard anyone mention this name for a long time.This was a name she loved and hated with all her heart.Now, she just wanted to get away from the name completely and live a quiet life."Yes, I know I don't have the qualifications to talk to you. I just hope you can take pity on me and just forget that you ever saw me!" answered Zhuo Qianyun after gritting her teeth. Her tone was so humble that even if Gu Lichen asked her to kneel, she would not hesitate to do so."You should know he has been searching for you all these years," said Gu Lichen.Zhuo Qianyun pursed her lips and said nothing. The man was only searching for her because he thought she had not suffered enough and for escaping from the miserable path he had given her.He was sea
'Is there something else... behind Ling Yiran's accident?' Gu Lichen thought and laughed a little. The one who died in the accident was Yi Jinli's fiancée, Hao Meiyu. Ling Yiran was now with Yi Jinli.Even if there was really something else behind that car accident, Yi Jinli would have checked it out. Why did he bother to worry?However... "When did Ling Yiran start working in your restaurant?" Gu Lichen asked suddenly."Huh?" Zhuo Qianyun was stunned. After a while, she replied, "About half a month ago. She came to apply as a delivery rider.""How does she usually behave at your restaurant?" Gu Lichen continued asking."She's pretty good. She works hard, is efficient in delivering the orders, and doesn’t complain…" Zhuo Qianyun described how Ling Yiran behaved in the restaurant while Gu Lichen listened with fascination as he held one cheek in his hand. He was smiling faintly, and his originally indifferent face had a touch of faint gentleness.Zhuo Qianyun could not help but fee
The remark infuriated Ling Guozhi. When he tried to question the landlord, the landlord had already hung up."What's the matter? Did something happen to the cinerary casket?" Fang Cuie asked her husband immediately."The landlord said that someone went there last night and took the cinerary casket!" said Ling Guozhi."They took it? What about our 50 million dollars? Without the cinerary casket, that wench won’t give us 50 million dollars!" Fang Cuie was worried now. Suddenly, she thought of another possibility. "Speaking of which, she must have had someone taken the cinerary casket away..."Frowning, Ling Guozhi simply picked up his phone and dialed Ling Yiran's number.Moments later, Ling Yiran answered the phone. "Yes?""Yiran, I've thought about it. After all, we're father and daughter. No matter what, we're still related. If you really can't give me the 50 million dollars we agreed on yesterday all at once, you can give half of it first. I'll tell you where your mother is bur
