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
He probably should have been nicer to her if he knew that she was this capable, but there was no use for Ling Guozhi to regret it now.After hearing her husband's words, Fang Cuie could not help but scorn. "How did Yi Jinli take a fancy to an ex-convict like her? It was Yi Jinli's fiancée she killed!""How would I know?" grumbled Ling Guozhi."Hey, she’ll probably be kept a secret no matter what," said Fang Cuie. "Unlike Luoyin who is official… Luoyin can marry into the Gu family. Wasn't it Luoyin who gave us the money for this trip?"Ling Guozhi felt a little better at the thought of his youngest daughter. He could only pin his hopes on his youngest daughter now.Yi Jinli handed the phone back to Ling Yiran with a fierce look in his eyes. "What do you want me to do to your father?"He asked her with a smile, but she understood the fierce look in his eyes.Ling Yiran knew that whatever she wanted to do to her father, he would do it for her once she told him.However... "It's al
She could not help thinking that he… really did like her. However, how long could this affection last?Her mother must have thought that her father loved her very much when she married him. However, there was not a shred of affection left for her mother in his heart.What had been an unforgettable love was now only a joke as time passed.Had she not previously been in a loving relationship with Xiao Ziqi too? She thought she had found someone worthy of her life, but he just turned away and kept his distance from her!"Do you think I'm just fooling around with you too?" Yi Jinli asked suddenly.Ling Yiran was stunned, not knowing how to answer him all of a sudden.That thought had crossed her mind several times now. Even if he was not fooling around with her now, how long could his so-called affection last? She did not have much confidence in this regard.Maybe a year, two years... Maybe only a few months."Tell me, what do I have to do to convince you that I'm not fooling aroun
The kiss was so intense that it almost choked her. When it was over, Ling Yiran felt a little weak. Half of her body was being propped by his arms."You'd better not even think about breaking up," muttered Yi Jinli with endless persistence in his bright eyes. "Now that you've promised to date me, I'm the only person you can date from now on! I, too, will only date you."His voice was silky and lovely. It was like an invisible net grabbing her tightly!...When Ling Yiran finally finished her lunch in Yi Jinli's office, she looked at the time, hurriedly cleaned up, and left the office.When she got out, she met Gao Congming who was polite and somewhat reverent as he said, "Are you leaving, Miss Ling?""Yes," replied Ling Yiran."Be careful on your way back," said Gao Congming.After Ling Yiran got into the elevator, a mid-level executive beside Gao Congming could not help but ask, "Who... is she, Secretary Gao?"After all, the woman was dressed in cheap clothes and did not look
"It will be. Besides, Sis Zhuo, you have a great deal of life ahead of you. That's such a pessimistic thing to say. Maybe it'll get better in the future," said Ling Yiran.Zhuo Qianyun looked at Ling Yiran in surprise. "You seem to have changed a little.""Changed?" Ling Yiran was confused."Yes, when you first came to my store, you seemed depressed, as if life was crushing you down. But look at you now, your depression seems to have dissipated. It’s like you have hope for the future," said Zhuo Qianyun.Did she... have any hope for the future? Ling Yiran was stunned. Was it because Lianyi was helping her look into the case? Was it because... there was a new beginning between her and Yi Jinli?That night, when Ling Yiran came out of the small restaurant, she saw a car parked not far from the restaurant. It was Yi Jinli's car!She stepped forward. The door was already open. Yi Jinli was sitting in the back seat as he said to her, "Get in.""I'm going back with the electric bike,
