When they arrived at the VIP area, there was a person-in-charge waiting for them. All Ling Yiran needed to do was to follow the nurse.Ling Yiran followed the nurse to draw some blood, take an x-ray, and go for an ultrasound scan among others. Yi Jinli waited patiently for Ling Yiran at the VIP lounge.While Ling Yiran followed the nurse through all the various departments, she saw a few that had a long queue.The nurse explained to her that those were people from other organizations who were here for a check-up. Thus, it was rather crowded.Just as Ling Yiran followed the nurse toward the ultrasound room, a few of the other rooms had a long queue, but the nurse led Ling Yiran to another door that had no queue outside.“Yiran!” Suddenly, a voice called out Ling Yiran’s name.Ling Yiran turned around to see who it was. She saw Guan Lili in one of the queues.Ling Yiran was taken aback. She had not expected to bump into Guan Lili here. ‘Is she here for a check-up as well? That mea
‘Ling Yiran shouldn’t have always tried to one up me in the past. Everyone took her as a hotshot in the law firm that they treated me like I was invisible.‘Now, I’m going to make Ling Yiran ‘famous’ again. I’ll let everyone at the firm see how their best female lawyer is living her life now.‘I’ll let them know how wrong they were in the past!’It seemed that this was the only way she could appease the anger in her heart.At that moment, a nurse walked past. That colleague asked the nurse. “Earlier, one of your hospital staff said that regular patients can’t go into that ultrasound room, but I saw a nurse leading someone into that room. What’s going on?”“Oh, that should be our hospital’s VIP package customer,” the nurse replied.“VIP package? How much does a VIP package cost?” That colleague was taken aback.“That depends on the package chosen. The cheapest cost a few thousand while the expensive ones can go up to a few hundred thousand. If you want to find out more, you can h
That was the darkest period of her life. She felt that there was no meaning for her to live on. If not for Lianyi who frequently came to visit her, she would not still be alive right now.The doctor sighed. “Let the gynecologist have a look at your report and see if there is anything we can do.”“Anything we can do?” Ling Yiran was stunned for a moment. “Are there any other ways?”“You’re still young. We can’t tell you that there’s no chance at all. Besides, in medicine, nothing is absolute.Somehow, hope began to bud within Ling Yiran’s heart. Even if she knew how small that hope was, it was still hope, was it not?If there was a way for her to treat her uterus, did that mean she could have a child?When she thought about it, Yi Jinli’s face appeared in her mind.If she could have a child, then the father of the child would be...“Alright, we’re done. You can get up.” The doctor’s words interrupted Ling Yiran’s daydream.She immediately got up from the examination bed and adj
After Ling Yiran was done talking, she had no intention of continuing the debate with Guan Lili. She informed the nurse who was with her, and they went to the next station.Guan Lili was left at the same spot. She glared spitefully at Ling Yiran’s back view. When she turned around once again, she was faced with the stares of her fellow colleagues.Guan Lili smiled sheepishly and rejoined the queue while feeling defeated.After going through so much trouble, she still did not find out how Ling Yiran had the money to afford a VIP package.After Ling Yiran was done with all the necessary check-ups, she went back to where Yi Jinli was.“You’re done?” Yi Jinli asked.“Yes, but some of the reports can only be done in the afternoon,” Ling Yiran replied.“Then, let's have breakfast. You haven’t eaten anything since this morning.” Yi Jinli offered.“Okay.” Ling Yiran then left the hospital with Yi Jinli.“Where do you want to eat?”“Let's just find a random place to eat nearby.” It wa
Ling Yiran thought about it and found it reasonable, thus she nodded and said, “Okay.”Subsequently, she devoured her breakfast while Yi Jinli continued to observe her with a smile on his face. He found her expression when she took each bite of her shaobing and youtiao, as well as each spoon of her douhua, extremely cute in his eyes.Her ponytail, her neat and clean forehead, her elegant facial features, that pair of shimmering eyes, that little button nose, and those pinkish lips...Everything was perfect to him.He never imagined that one day, he would fall in love with such a woman, yet it seemed so natural for him that he did.As Ling Yiran ate, she randomly looked up to have her almond eyes meet Yi Jinli’s deep gaze. In that split second, she felt that her brain was vacuumed by that pair of eyes.“Wh... What’s the matter?” she mumbled.“Nothing. I just find you too pretty.”Ling Yiran was dumbfounded. He had seen plenty of beautiful women, yet he could still say such a thi
“The kitchenware and bedding can be sold at the second-hand shop later when I pass by it. As for the clothes and shoes, I can still wear them, so I’ll take them back.”Yi Jinli looked at the clothes and shoes that Ling Yiran wanted to take back. They were old clothing. Although the quality looked good, the styles were outdated and some of the colors had faded.Yi Jinli understood that these clothes were probably those she owned before going into prison.However, he did not say anything. After all, even if he wanted to give her money to spend and told her to buy new ones, he still had to do it slowly.He was afraid that if he rushed into it, he would frighten her. She was only beginning to let down her defenses in front of him.“Why don’t you wait for me here? I’ll be back soon,” Ling Yiran said. Then, she picked up the kitchenware and bedding that she had packed to bring them to the second-hand shop.Yi Jinli was quicker than her and took the stuff from her. “Let me carry them. P
Yi Jinli paused his steps as his black eyes stared at her.She was puzzled. “What is it?”“What if I would?” he suddenly asked.She was taken aback for a moment as the smile on her face gradually disappeared. With difficulty, she pursed her lips and looked at him solemnly. “Jin, I don’t like it when someone lies to me. I’ve always thought that for a relationship to last, we should be honest with each other. The least is not telling lies to each other.”He was silent, but his gaze remained fixed on her.“Would you lie to me?” she asked again. Her heart was feeling anxious and uneasy as if she was afraid that he would say yes. She was afraid that their take on things would be on opposite spectrums.If they could not be on the same page regarding this, how were they going to continue with the relationship?His hands that were by his sides clenched unnoticeably. Then, his lips slowly moved as he uttered out two words, “I won’t.”When she heard his answer, she felt as if a boulder h
He loosened his hold slightly but continued to hug her. “Sis, don’t ever tell me that you want to break up, okay?”He lowered his head. There was a growing sense of distress in his glittering eyes that she had never seen before.It was as if her telling him she wanted a breakup was something so devastating that he would become lost.Was she... that important to him? So important that he could not even accept a hypothetical scenario?Ling Yiran felt as if something was stuck in her heart. It made her feel uncomfortable. She could not hold herself back from raising her hands and returning the hug to him.“Okay, Jin. I’ll never say the word ‘breakup’.” This promise was pledged by her just like that.At this moment, she did not think further about the meaning and price behind this promise. Right now, she just did not want to see him looking like that.That would just make her feel horrible....In the afternoon, Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli returned to the hospital. Her check-up report
