Ling Yiran felt her face heating up when she thought about what happened last night.Although she was awake right now, she continued to keep her eyes closed. She was afraid that she would see Yi Jinli when she opened her eyes and feel extremely awkward.Furthermore, what should she say the first thing when she sees him to avert the awkwardness?Ling Yiran began to ponder these questions.However, before she could figure out a plan, a voice was heard. “Are you awake? If you are, there’s no need to keep your eyes closed. Or perhaps, you’re afraid to see me?”Ling Yiran’s body shuddered as she abruptly opened her eyes. The first thing that she saw was an extraordinarily handsome face... Yi Jinli’s face!Right now, his hand was resting on the side of the bed. His waist was bent forward, and his face was just inches away from hers as his warm breath blew on her skin.With that distance, she could even count the number of eyelashes he had.Those long and black eyelashes that complime
When she wanted to get down the bed, he said, “Hold on a minute.”Then, she watched as he lowered his body and knelt in front of her to help her wear a pair of socks. He put on her slippers for her before he carried her to the bathroom.“Um, what are you planning to do?” she asked in a daze.“Weren’t you going to wash up?” Yi Jinli asked back.‘Um... Okay. So that was the case.’Once in the bathroom, he carefully let her feet down first, then her body, and said to her, “If you’re unable to stand properly, then grab on to me.”“Oh,” she softly replied and looked up at the mirror in front of her.They could see their reflections in the mirror. She could see him from the mirror with his head lowered, carefully preparing the toothpaste on her toothbrush...‘This must be how it feels like to be taken care of by someone,’ Ling Yiran thought.“I’m done,” he said while passing the toothbrush to her. “If you’re unable to brush your teeth, I can do it for you as well.”“It’s okay, I...
“How do you think they should help? Are you expecting the Xiao family to go against Yi Jinli and become his enemy? Or do you expect the Xiao family to pump in billions to bring up our shares?” Hao Qirong asked.Lyu Zhixue immediately shut her mouth. She understood little regarding the business world. Once her husband said so, she understood that it was impossible to get help from the Xiao family.It was not just a matter of whether the Xiao family could bring out a few billion at one go. Just the fact that they would be going against Yi Jinli was impossible for them to do anything.“Then... Then what should we do?” Lyu Zhixue was anxious. “What’s wrong with Yi Jinli that he’s now bewitched by a woman like Ling Yiran? What drugs did that woman give him? She’s just a woman that Ziqi did not want!”Hao Qirong impatiently chided, “Enough! You can speak such things in front of me, but don’t go around talking about it in public lest you want to attract more unnecessary troubles.”Lyu Zh
Ling Yiran was at the hospital visiting Lil Yan. This time, Lil Yan was awake and interacting with Zhuo Qianyun who was also in the room. Zhuo Qianyun was pointing at various objects and telling Lil Yan what they were.Lil Yan was listening attentively, literally listening. He would occasionally point at the item that Zhuo Qianyun mentioned earlier and she would repeat it for him.Ling Yiran called out, “Lil Yan.”At that moment, the boy turned around to look in her direction.This had never happened before. That meant that Lil Yan could hear her voice! Ling Yiran was elated for the boy.Since Lil Yan could hear now, it meant that there was a chance he could learn to speak in the future. As long as he wore a hearing aid, he could then function like a normal person.Although three years old was a little late as doctors usually recommend that treatment begin as early as possible, the opportunity was not completely over as most children are not fully developed yet and would still ab
“But I can see that Mr. Yi treats you very well. You have reaped the good fruit you sowed,” Zhuo Qianyun said.‘Reaped the good fruit? Perhaps. Right now, my relationship with Jin is getting better. It feels as if we have gone back to the time when we were living together in the rented house.’No, there was still some difference. At that time, she merely saw him as a younger brother. Now, she saw him as a lover, a person whom she considered giving him the reins to her future.“Sis Zhuo, you also have reaped the good fruit. Lil Yan can now hear sounds and he may be able to speak soon. Next time, he can be like any normal child, studying and making friends.”“Yes, Lil Yan is my life. As long as he’s well, I don’t mind going through any hardships.”Zhuo Qianyun said so and looked at Ling Yiran. “You’re not yet a mother. When you become a mother, you’ll understand that as a mother, you’ll be willing to sacrifice anything for your child!”‘Be a mother?...’ Ling Yiran looked at her fla
“Oh, look at that, you’ve called for a sidekick!” The woman mocked Qin Lianyi when she saw Ling Yiran.Ling Yiran frowned and looked at her friend. “Lianyi, what happened?”“You don’t need to be bothered about her,” Qin Lianyi said.The young woman burst out like a barrel of petroleum that caught on fire as she yelled, “Why? Are you ashamed to admit that you shamelessly seduced my boyfriend? If I hadn’t caught you in the act, were you going to strip naked and get into my boyfriend’s bed!”Qin Lianyi glared at the woman. “Seduce? Do you think I’m interested in this kind of man? What exactly is going through your brains? You only think that the problem lies with other people but have you ever considered that it’s your boyfriend that’s the problem!”“I saw you with my own eyes yet you’re still arguing with me about it!” the woman yelled.“Bullshit! What did you see with your own eyes?!” Qin Lianyi argued back. She pointed at the man who was curled in a corner. “Let me be frank. With
While Ling Yiran was going through the procedures to bail Qin Lianyi out, Yi Jinli called her. “Are you at the police station?”“Huh?” Ling Yiran was stunned for a moment and quickly recovered. It must have been the driver who informed him.“Yes, I’m at the police station. Something happened to Lianyi, so I’m here to bail her out.”Yi Jinli found it quite amusing. ”She needs you to help bail her out? Why didn’t she look for Bai Tingxin? Isn’t he her boyfriend?”“...” It was a rather complicated situation, and it was Lianyi’s private matters. “I guess she has her own way of thinking. Anyway, I’m in the middle of going through the paperwork. I’ll talk to you later!”Ling Yiran ended the call and continued with the process.Zhou Jiewen was still cursing at Qin Lianyi as she was adamant that Qin Lianyi was interested in her boyfriend.Qin Lianyi was so angry that she scolded Zhou Jiewen as a pig! She had Bai Tingxin as her boyfriend now. Although he was just a temporary boyfriend, h
Shen Ziyu nodded cowardly. “Y-ye-yes... Qin Lianyi seduced me!”Qin Lianyi wanted to give a slap to that man!Ling Yiran was worried that her friend’s rash behavior would land her in hot soup, thus she pulled her friend back and said to the couple, “You’ll need to be legally responsible for whatever you’ve said just now. Otherwise, that’s considered as defaming a person’s reputation. Why don’t we go back into the station to see if we need to open up a case.”Shen Ziyu shuddered and shut his mouth.Zhou Jiewen was still hurling verbal abuse when Yi Jinli lazily looked at her. “What a pompous woman. Are you fit to point out what kind of person my girlfriend is? Who do you think you are?”Zhou Jiewen looked horrified. Yi Jinli’s words were like a slap to her face.“I... I’m just giving a kind reminder. I’m worried that you’ll be cheated on.” Zhou Jiewen tried to argue.However, Yi Jinli was not interested to listen to what she had to say. He turned to Qin Lianyi and said, “You were
