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 Although the quality looked good, the styles were outdated and some of the colors had faded.Yi Jinli understood that these clothes were probably those she owned before going into prison.However, he did not say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
She was shocked. Then, a blush came over her face. "I... I..."Ling Yiran was suddenly at a loss. It was as if answering with either yes or no would both be wrong!"You can't say no!" Yi Jinli bossily put his hand around Ling Yiran's waist and said to her, "If I do have children, it will only be with Sis, so... If you want to be a mother, you can only be the mother of my children."Ling Yiran's face grew redder. "This is the hospital." There were still people moving back and forth where they were, and there were already people looking this way as he put his arms around her."So what?" His lips pressed close to her ears. He was breathing down her ears and neck. "Do you understand what I just said, Sis?"Her body could not help but tremble. His voice and breath seemed like a spell, enchanting her into nodding.After getting into the car, Ling Yiran's face was still red.Yi Jinli was driving, and she could not help but glance at him from the passenger seat.From her point of view,
"Sure," replied Ling Yiran.As Ling Yiran put her phone away, she heard Yi Jinli's voice. "Was that a call from Qin Lianyi?""Yes.""Why? Did she ask Bai Tingxin to help with your case?" he asked."Not really," said Ling Yiran. "She just asked Bai Tingxin to investigate a witness in S City. She said the witness is now in detention and he has ways to make him talk. I'm going to S city tomorrow."Though Qin Lianyi did not elaborate on how it happened, Ling Yiran, a former lawyer, knew some of the ropes.It was not that easy to talk to a man in detention. With Lianyi's abilities, it was out of the question. Therefore, it was probably Bai Tingxin's doing.However, this was clearly her business, but she let Lianyi owe Bai Tingxin a debt of gratitude again.Just how much did Lianyi have to do for her? Would she ever be able to repay Lianyi? Ling Yiran's heart was heavy with the thought of it. She did not notice Yi Jinli's eyes glinting."I'll go with you tomorrow," said Yi Jinli."
"Do you think I should let her know the truth?" Yi Jinli asked lightly, but there was a deep chill in his eyes.Gao Congming's body suddenly shivered. He knew that he had accidentally touched his boss's sore point.About the lawsuit and Ling Yiran… This was not a matter Young Master Yi would let outsiders pry into.All he had to do was just follow Young Master Yi's instructions."I'll go to S city now," said Gao Congming. Then, he left the study.Just as he got out of the study, he saw Ling Yiran walking toward him."Are you looking for Young Master Yi, Miss Ling?" Gao Congming asked respectfully. He knew in his heart that she would be the mistress of the Yi family if everything went well.Even if Young Master Yi was just playing around with the woman at first, he was now very serious about her.He could even say that he had never seen Young Master Yi take a woman so seriously. Even Hao Meiyu, who was only one step away from becoming the mistress of the Yi family, was never tak
