She was usually the subject of flattery in high society. She had never been treated that way."No, I must show that woman Ling Yiran a thing or two. She must have told Yi Jinli about this. He has never treated me this way." Lyu Zhixue put all the blame on Ling Yiran."That's enough! Don't bother Ling Yiran again, and that's the end of this!" said Hao Qirong.Lyu Zhixue looked at her husband in disbelief. "What are you saying? Ling Yiran murdered our daughter!"Hao Qirong's eyes flashed a complicated look, and he looked away. He was trying to avoid his wife's gaze. "If you don't want the entire Hao family to be buried with Meiyu, do as I say!"Lyu Zhixue wanted to say something, but Hao Yimeng pulled her mother aside. "Just listen to Dad, Mom. Don't go after Ling Yiran for now." As for when Yi Jinli would lose his interest in Ling Yiran, that was entirely up to Ling Yiran's luck.Lyu Zhixue's face was full of resentment. Had she been slapped for nothing?Why did Ling Yiran not di
However, if she depended too much on him, perhaps it would slowly become a habit...He leaned down and kissed her still swollen cheek gently. The kiss was so soft, it was like the stroke of a feather. "Then depend on me. It’s the very thing I desire."He wanted her to depend on him so much that she could not leave him…About half an hour later, the family doctor came to Yi residence. He took a look at Ling Yiran's swollen cheeks and prescribed some medicine to reduce the swelling.After the doctor left, Ling Yiran was about to apply the medicine when Yi Jinli took it from her. "I'll do it for you.""Okay," she answered.He dipped his long fingers into the ointment and gently spread the oil across her cheek. His movements were very gentle. With the coolness of the ointment, her cheek was no longer burning."You're a real pain in the neck. You're always getting hurt," he whispered. He was still applying the ointment on her.Ling Yiran found herself unable to refute what he said.
"No... Nothing. I just remembered that I'm going to visit Grandma tomorrow, and I haven't bought anything yet," Ling Yiran said. In actually fact, she had bought a few things, but the Hao family had thrown them into the trash can."About that, I bought them for you and left them on the coffee table," Yi Jinli said.Ling Yiran looked at the coffee table in her room and saw a familiar packaged bag. It was... the same packaging bag she had received when she bought the pastries at the mall that day. Had he... bought the same ones?"Are they the ones I bought today?" Ling Yiran asked breathlessly."Yes, I bought a few extra ones," Yi Jinli said."How did you know what... uh, what I bought?" Ling Yiran asked doubtfully. Even if Yi Jinli had watched the video, the most he could have seen was the packaging bag."I just checked their transaction statement history and found out what you bought," answered Yi Jinli.It explained the matter. Ling Yiran finally understood that such things mig
However, Ling Yiran had not expected Yi Jinli to ask his driver to bring his personal car which only cost around 300 thousand dollars.Ling Yiran was shocked."Didn't you say you wanted it to be a little more normal?" asked Yi Jinli."I want it to be normal because I don't want to stand out in the town. It's a small town so all kinds of gossip would probably arise. I'm afraid such things would bother Grandma. But are you really going to drive this car?" said Ling Yiran."Did I just say all of that for fun?" Yi Jinli smiled. "All right, get in the car."It was only when Ling Yiran got into the car that she discovered that the driver was not coming this time and that Yi Jinli would be the one driving."You're driving?" She asked."Yes. It's not that far anyway. Just take a nap if you're sleepy. I know the way there," Yi Jinli said as he started the car.Ling Yiran unconsciously pressed her lips together as she watched Yi Jinli drive. It would take more than two hours for the car
She looked at him with a puzzled expression on her face. "What's wrong?""Have you thought about how you're going to introduce me later?" Yi Jinli asked.Ling Yiran was taken aback but quickly replied, "Of course I'm going to introduce you as my boyfriend."Yi Jinli smiled. "All right, let’s go."After getting out of the car, Ling Yiran approached the door and knocked on it. Shortly after, someone answered her. It was Third Aunt.When Third Aunt saw Ling Yiran, her expression became a little sarcastic. "It's you, Yiran. You’ve even brought a man with you this time!"Third Aunt glanced out the door as she said so and noticed the ordinary car parked in front of the house. Almost instantly, she looked at Ling Yiran with something like a sneer.They all thought that her niece had hooked up with a rich man. After all, a man had exaggeratedly saved her from the fool's house that day.However, looking at the car parked outside, it did not look like a luxury car. Additionally, Third Au
"You done seeing your grandmother?" asked Yi Jinli."Grandma's still asleep. I didn't wake her up and came out first," answered Ling Yiran.As Ling Yiran was speaking, Hua Lifang, her cousin, came out with two cups of tea and placed them in front of her and Yi Jinli. "Come and have some tea, Yiran."There was a flash of surprise in Ling Yiran's eyes. Her cousin had never served her tea before when she came back."Hey, Yiran. Aren't you going to introduce the gentleman you brought here?" asked Third Aunt, her tone sounded rather jealous."He's my boyfriend, Jin," answered Ling Yiran. She did not say Yi Jinli's full name on purpose so that her relatives would not cause a ruckus when they find out Jin was Yi Jinli. All Ling Yiran wanted was for her grandmother to spend her remaining years in peace."Boyfriend? Impossible!" exclaimed Hua Lifang.It sounded as if Ling Yiran had told a big joke.Yi Jinli squinted his eyes and gazed coldly at Hua Lifang.All of a sudden, Hua Lifang
It was as if the man would not tolerate anyone talking bad about Ling Yiran.Hua Lifang's heart could not help but tinge with envy. Hua Lifang was jealous that Ling Yiran was able to find such a handsome boyfriend who did not care about her imprisonment. On her end, she had married a blacksmith when she was young.Hua Lifang had thought that the blacksmith she married was at the very least skilled. Additionally, he did pay a substantial bride price. However, throughout the past few years, Hua Lifang had begun feeling more and more miserable.The friends she used to go out with now all living good lives in the city, marrying white-collar workers, civil servants, directors, and alike. They sounded so high-class that Hua Lifang was embarrassed to say that her husband was merely a blacksmith.She had often wondered in recent years that if she had not married so early, would she have been married in town now? At the very least, she would be married to a white-collar worker!"Hey, so th
A flash of embarrassment immediately flushed Hua Lifang's face. What Yi Jinli said to her was like a slap in the face!Third Aunt was visibly annoyed by this. She complained to Ling Yiran, "Hey, Yiran. Lifang has good intentions. Why is your boyfriend so arrogant. He's our guest. Does he want us to worship him like he's our master?" Ling Yiran simply said lightly, "My boyfriend is quite shy. He keeps his distance from people he doesn't know well."Third Aunt and Hua Lifang almost choked on their saliva.Shy?!The man did not look like he was shy.Nevertheless, when the man gazed lazily at them, they could not help but feel their hearts begin to beat quickly. It was as if they were subconsciously afraid of his gaze.Third Aunt pursed her lips and did not say anything else. On the other hand, Hua Lifang shamelessly and insinuatingly asked when Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli met, how they got together, what Yi Jinli’s true identity was, what kind of job he had, his family background, and
