He was angry that he was jealous of an actor and even a mere TV role. However, he could only accept it because of Qin Lianyi.If he pressured her, she could take it. If he was nice to her, she would push her luck and he could do nothing.However, Bai Tingxin suddenly felt a little more relaxed when Qin Lianyi said that Ling Yiran was also Gao Jingshan's fan.It seemed that he was not the only one to feel bitter!Yi Jinli and Bai Tingxin took turns driving the car, each driving half the way. By the time they reached the detention center in S City, it was already past nine o'clock. Bai Tingxin already had everything arranged, so they went into a room next to the meeting room.There were several large screens in the room, which showed images of the meeting room. They could see what was going on inside and hear the conversations of the people inside.After a while, the mediator came into the room where Ling Yiran was. Ling Yiran told him the key questions she had come up with and c
You Lei's eyes flickered with guilt as he said, "What do you mean by clean? I'm usually upright and honest. What is it that's not clean?""By the way, I went to your parents' house yesterday to talk to them about you. They were both talking in Shen City's dialect. Are they from Shen City?" the mediator said casually."Yes, they used to live in Shen City.""You used to live in Shen City too? Why did you settle in S City? Shen City is better than S City," the mediator said as if they were having small talk."Big cities have a lot of pressure. Although it's smaller here, it's a comfortable place to live.""That's true." The mediator smiled and suddenly said, "I almost forgot. The man you wounded asked me to ask you about Miss Hao. He said that if you're not afraid of being exposed, you'd better pay the money as he requested, or he'll tell the world."You Lei's face turned pale, though he seemed to be trying hard to hide it. "Miss Hao... I don't know what he has to expose, but I was
If the local tyrant of Shen City wanted to help someone reverse a case, it was sure to be a success!Besides, Yiran was innocent! Whoever was behind it was sure to be found out!Qin Lianyi, relieved from her gloom, brightened up. "It's almost noon. Let's have lunch together." Ling Yiran nodded, and the four of them walked out of the detention center before getting into their car.Qin Lianyi was busy going through the list of recommended food in S City and found several restaurants to try. Then, she asked Ling Yiran to choose one. The two men had no objections, so Bai Tingxin drove up to the restaurant.It was a local specialty restaurant here in S City, and it had a long-established reputation. Four of them got out of the car and asked for a private room before they started ordering.Of course, Qin Lianyi did most of the ordering, but she based her orders on the recommendations she read online. As Qin Lianyi had ordered by referring to her phone, she looked at the 20 or so dis
"All right, let's eat," said Yi Jinli.The four of them started eating their lunch. Yi Jinli offered to help Ling Yiran peel the prawns when they were eating this particular dish. Ling Yiran was a little embarrassed. After all, they were now in front of her best friend and Bai Tingxin.Qin Lianyi, in particular, even winked at her, making Ling Yiran a little speechless.Yi Jinli looked so graceful while peeling the prawns for her that he did not seem to care about other people's opinions.After the meal was over, Yi Jinli reminded Ling Yiran, "Don't forget to take your medicine 20 minutes after lunch.""Okay," replied Ling Yiran."Are you sick?" Qin Lianyi was shocked and asked with immediate concern."No, it's just some health-restoring pills. It’s medicine for the pain in my joints," answered Ling Yiran.Qin Lianyi was stunned. She knew about her best friend's imprisonment for three years. After she was released from prison, she suffered from rheumatism. Her joints would hurt
As if she could see what her best friend was worried about, Ling Yiran said, "Never mind, I'll find out the truth and give Hao Meiyu justice while clearing my name!"Never mind me. What about you? How are you with Bai Tingxin?" asked Ling Yiran."What else? That's all." Qin Lianyi shrugged and said, "We look just like a couple in a normal relationship."It was precisely because it looked too ‘normal’ sometimes that she often got into a trance, thinking that she was really dating Bai Tingxin. She even got caught up in this ‘dating’ feeling. She needed to remind herself constantly that everything was fake. Bai Tingxin was only going to take revenge after she fell in love with him."I still don't think Bai Tingxin is going to take revenge on you as you think," said Ling Yiran. If he wanted to take revenge on Lianyi, people like Bai Tingxin had a lot of ways to torment people. There was no need for him to choose such a circuitous and time-consuming method."I hope it's not what I thin
When Bai Tingxin saw Qin Lianyi's twinkling eyes, his mood inexplicably turned sour.When the car drove back to Shen City, it arrived at Yi residence first. Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran got out of the car while Bai Tingxin went to the driver’s seat."See you next time, Yiran," said Qin Lianyi as she bid Ling Yiran goodbye."Sure," replied Ling Yiran. "Thank you for today, and be careful on your way back!" With that, she and Yi Jinli walked through the large iron gates of Yi residence.Qin Lianyi kept her eyes fixed on Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran who were now behind the iron gates. Then, she heard Bai Tingxin's impatient voice. "Haven't you seen enough?""I'm just looking, that's all," muttered Qin Lianyi. When she met Yi Jinli at Yiran's rental house previously, although she did not perceive him as a hobo, she never thought of him as the local tyrant of Shen City!Then, a pair of hands grabbed Qin Lianyi's face. Her face was turned to face his. "Didn't you say you liked looking at my face
Fine, he was her creditor anyway!…After Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli returned to Yi residence, Yi Jinli asked, "Are you disappointed today? We went to S City but didn't find anything useful."Ling Yiran shook her head. "No.""You're not disappointed?" He seemed somewhat surprised."Because you're willing to help me find clues and clear my name. I'm happy regardless if we find something useful or not," she said.It was as if he really trusted her, and the original estrangement between them was slowly disappearing.He stared at her. He understood her desire to reverse the case, only... He could clear her name, but he could not tell her the truth.Even though it was a truth she wanted to know."As long as you're happy." He smiled slightly and sidestepped the topic by saying, "What are you going to do the next few days if you're not going to work?""I'm going to visit Grandma in a couple of days," she said. She was so busy with her work that she did not have time to call her grandmo
"..." She was speechless. No one had ever tasted other people's medicine just to know how bitter it was. Besides, it was medicine for women.Even though there was only a little bit left and it would not hurt him, but... Uh, he was a little careless in doing so."Why don't you have a piece of candy to keep the bitterness down?" she asked while still sucking on the candy in her mouth."Sure," he answered. However, instead of taking the candy on the plate, he leaned over to her. His hand grabbed the back of her head while his handsome face leaned close to her."You..." She had just opened her mouth when his kiss fell on her lips.All of a sudden, she could feel him prying his way inside her mouth. It was as if he wanted to rob her of everything...His kiss was lingering and domineering, making her almost breathless. The bitterness was mixed with sweetness, and it was evident by the end of the kiss that she could not tell what was the taste in her mouth.When the kiss was over, she
