Author: Gu family's Little Bamboo
"Yes," she muttered. Women always liked pretty things. How could she not like such a pretty gown? However... "It's probably expensive. It’ll be a waste to wear this only once."

What she meant was that there were cheaper options.

When he heard this, he said, "If you think it's a waste, just accompany me to more banquets so that it won’t be."

"..." Ling Yiran was so stunned that she had nothing to retort.

Yi Jinli took Ling Yiran's hand and said, "All right, let's go."

The temperature of his hand passed to her palm. She gently responded to him before standing up. Then, she followed him out of the room and came downstairs.

Outside the main house, the car was already prepared. Yi Jinli held Ling Yiran's hand as he got into the car.

On their way there, Ling Yiran could not help looking at Yi Jinli who was wearing a formal black suit, white shirt, and dark purple tie. He looked smart and fresh, and it suited him very well.

He had a sharp jawline that was rare among Asians and delicat

    Ling Yiran's eyes widened, and Yi Jinli immediately knew he was right when he saw her reaction."Which intimate moment?" His voice, softer than ever, seemed to sway over her heart like a feather. "Was it that night? Were you thinking about that night?"Boom!Ling Yiran immediately felt as if her face was on fire. A look of embarrassment and shyness came over her face, and she almost wanted to bury herself.However, his fingers were still under her chin, making it impossible for her to turn away.The way she blushed struck him as indescribably cute. Her misty eyes kept avoiding his gaze, but she did not know that the way she looked would only further arouse the man’s desire to possess her.If they were not in the car right now and if they were not about to arrive at the party, he probably would not have been able to resist…"Are you shy? What is there to be shy about?" His fingers brushed gently against her hot cheek. "Isn't it natural for men and women to be attracted to each ot

    When the car arrived at the venue of the banquet, Yi Jinli walked in while holding Ling Yiran's hand.Naturally, hundreds of eyes were focused on Ling Yiran. After all, Yi Jinli would always be in the center of attention, and as everyone in Shen City knew, this was the first time Yi Jinli had a woman next to him in more than three years.Even Hao Meiyu, who attended several public occasions with Yi Jinli previously, was never seen holding his hand. However, Yi Jinli had been holding Ling Yiran’s hand ever since they entered.Quite a few of Shen City's socialites attended the banquet today. Most of them knew about Yi Jinli.After all, although Yi Jinli was famous for being celibate in Shen City and had not been romantically involved with anyone since Hao Meiyu's death, these ladies were still eager to try and approach him.However, no one dared to take the first step. After all, it was no secret in their circle how badly a woman would end up if she played tricks to get close to Yi

    He was more ruthless than passionate.Did someone like him have anything important to him? As soon as the thought flashed through Ling Yiran's mind, she somehow remembered Gu Lichen's silver bracelet.It was because of the silver bracelet that she knew Gu Lichen.The bracelet was obviously for children, but Gu Lichen treated it like it was a piece of treasure. What exactly was the story behind the bracelet?"Who are you looking at?" A low and elegant voice suddenly rang in Ling Yiran's ears.She immediately came to her senses, and when she turned around, her lips narrowly missed Yi Jinli's. Then, she realized that his face was so close to hers that she had almost kissed him.Yi Jinli's thin lips parted as he whispered, "No matter who you're looking at, the person in your heart can only be me."As he spoke, he looked past her to the figure standing at the entrance.Gu Lichen was a childhood friend. Yi Jinli did not expect that one day they would be interested in the same woman.

    It had been a long time since she felt this way. Even though she knew that Ling Yiran was with Yi Jinli, she did not think that Ling Yiran had beaten her. After all, she was Lichen's official girlfriend.However, Ling Luoyin now felt that she was being outdone.Gu Lichen came back to his senses and said to Ling Yiran, "It seems quite a coincidence to see you again.""Hello," Ling Yiran responded simply.Gu Lichen turned his eyes to Yi Jinli. "I didn't expect you to be here today.""I brought Yiran here to show her around. After all, there are some people she is bound to know someday," Yi Jinli said lightly. However, there was just too much information in that one sentence.Ling Luoyin was shocked. What did he mean by 'bound to know'? Was Yi Jinli… hinting that he would marry Ling Yiran someday?Ling Luoyin felt another pang of jealousy at the thought of this, but she put on a smile and said, "Long time no see, Sis. Speaking of which, I've been wanting to apologize to you. Mom an

    Gu Lichen even had a hunch that if he did not let go, Yi Jinli might just break his wrist.There was really no need to fall out with Jinli for a mere woman. After all, Ling Yiran was not the one he was looking for. Had he not figured it out earlier?Gu Lichen lowered his eyes before loosening his fingers with a faint smile, and Ling Yiran's wrist was instantly free."I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten my manners just now. Miss Ling reminded me of an old friend," said Gu Lichen."She's not your old friend. Don't forget your manners again," Yi Jinli said coldly before grabbing Ling Yiran's hand and leaving.Gu Lichen's eyes were clouded as he looked at Ling Yiran's departing back. Ling Luoyin, who was beside Gu Lichen, wanted to scream.Was she not? She should be! If the portrait she saw in Lichen's studio was indeed the old friend Lichen was referring to, then she was certain that the girl was Ling Yiran.She remembered the dress Ling Yiran wore, what the little girl in the port

    It's rare for Ling Yiran to hear Yi Jinli call someone a friend, so Ye Chongwei was probably close to him. "Hello, I'm Ling Yiran."Ling Yiran introduced herself gracefully."Hello, I've wanted to meet you for a long time now, but I haven’t had a chance," Ye Chongwei said with a smile. After all, he had always been curious about the woman who managed to capture his best friend's heart.On the eve of the Lunar New Year, Ye Chongwei was shocked and intrigued by the fact that his best friend brought a group of police officers to the town next to Shen City for her. He even left Old Master Yi behind for her.Now, after meeting Ling Yiran, Ye Chongwei thought that even though she was not stunningly beautiful, her eyes gave people a sense of comfort—it was gentle and relaxing.Standing alongside Ling Yiran, Jinli also seemed more relaxed than usual.Ye Chongwei immediately understood why his best friend fell in love with Ling Yiran. People like them were often in a treacherous environme

    Ye Chongwei gulped the saliva in his mouth. All right, it was obvious that Ling Yiran, whom he had just met, would one day marry into the Yi family and become their mistress."Well, she's really lucky then," muttered Ye Chongwei."I'm the lucky one," Yi Jinli let out a whisper. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that her misfortune had made him lucky.If the accident had not happened, she might have married Xiao Ziqi and bore his child by now. She would not have met him the way they did and he would not know that it was such a pleasant thing to be by her side.Ye Chongwei was shocked when he heard this.He was only thinking of one thing at this moment—Jinli had really fallen for Ling Yiran!...Ling Yiran took a glass of champagne from the waiter and drank it. It had a low alcohol content and a fruity taste. It tasted pretty good.However, she could not take too much of it. She was not a good drinker. She would get drunk easily if she drank too much.She looked around as

    "By the way, I wonder what your relationship is with Yi Jinli? Why don't you tell us and satisfy our curiosity?" asked Lu Zhener.Ling Yiran smiled and said, "That's personal, and I don't think it's convenient to tell you."As soon as she said this, the three women suddenly took on a ghastly expression. Wang Yuqian, the daughter of a chairman of a convenience store chain, immediately said, "That's not a very nice thing to say. Is there something shameful in the story that you dare not tell us?"Ling Yiran's face darkened a little. There it was… Even though she wanted to avoid it, she could not.Zhao Yingyi, the granddaughter of a five-star hotel owner, stared at Ling Yiran's face with a slight frown. She looked as if she was thinking about something.Wang Yuqian continued to probe aggressively, "Could it be that you played some tricks to get involved with Yi Jinli?"Ling Yiran pursed her lips slightly. "Sorry, I've got something to do, so I need to go," she said and tried to leav

    He clenched his jaw and felt his teeth ache. 'Yeah, she’s broken up with me. She has every right to find a new boyfriend, but... the thought of her smiling at another man, and kissing and hugging him makes me uncomfortable.’ Gu Lichen could not help feeling irritated."You can't find one! Do you think you can find another man like me to love when you love me so much?" he said.Zhong Keke retorted with a slightly red face, "You... You're too confident. Who are you to say I can't find one? I love you now, but I can slowly get over you. Besides, I don't need to find a man like you in the future. I just need to find an ordinary man with a good personality who treats me well! I’ll give him all my heart, and he’ll do the same!"It was more like she was telling herself that.'Yes, I can move on from him. I can do it!'However, her words seemed to have provoked him as he turned the steering wheel sharply, slammed on the brakes, and pulled over at the roadside.She was thrown forward and

    The fact Zhong Keke accepted was that she feared she would love him more and more!When Yi Jinli and Gu Lichen returned to the ward, Ling Yiran was still chatting with Zhong Keke about the children, not only the new baby but also the triplets."Alright, Lichen and I are going home first. Yiran, have a good rest. I'll visit you and the baby again next time," Zhong Keke said and got up after seeing the exhaustion on Ling Yiran's face.Ling Yiran replied, "Okay. I'll let you meet my triplets next time.""Sure."After Zhong Keke and Gu Lichen left, Yi Jinli lay on Ling Yiran's bed and said, "If you're sleepy, sleep first. The doctor said you need more rest."Ling Yiran said, "I'm a little sleepy, but I had a nice chat with Keke today. Jin, you know what? I think it's great that Lichen has fallen in love with Keke. Keke's a wonderful woman, and Lichen has finally found his happily ever after."She said as she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.Looking at his wife's sleeping fac

    "Thank you! It's a good painting, and I like it very much. I didn't expect you to draw my daughter like that.""I saw the baby when I came to the hospital that day, so I remembered," said Zhong Keke."I heard from Jin that you and Lichen both came to the hospital that day. I didn't scare you, did I?" said Ling Yiran.Zhong Keke smiled softly, "All that matters is that you're safe. Being alive is better than anything."The two women chatted while the two men looked at each other. Then, Yi Jinli said, "Lichen, let's go get some air."The two men got up and walked out of the ward.Zhong Keke looked uneasily at the ward door.Ling Yiran said, "They’ll be back soon. Don't worry. My Jin won't kidnap Lichen."Zhong Keke smiled, knowing that Yi Jinli probably had not told Ling Yiran about what happened that day."By the way, how are you and Lichen's relationship? Does he treat you well?" Ling Yiran asked."He treats me well." It was true. He treated her well. He would give her everyt

    He and Song Qingyao were not even friends."You don't have to explain this to me," said Zhong Keke. They had broken up, and she did not need these explanations.Besides, she knew better than anyone that he had always been in love with Yiran.Thinking of Yiran, Zhong Keke said, "I want to go to the hospital to see Yiran. Can I?" The last time she visited Yiran, Yiran was still unconscious, so she wanted to check on her.Hesitation flashed across Gu Lichen's face."Don't worry. I won't say anything to trigger Yiran. I’ll still pretend to be your girlfriend in front of Yiran. If Yiran asks you, you can say we're doing quite well. When Yiran has recovered, I can make an excuse to say we've broken up. Of course, I can take all the blame. For example, I thought being with you attracted too much attention, or I couldn’t get used to being with you, or I had fallen for someone else—"Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly pulled into a wide embrace.His hands held her tightly

    Zhou Xinmian: [I said you were living with Gu Lichen now. Then they said nothing and left readily.]"..."Zhou Xinmian: [Did you block their phone numbers? They said you're not answering your phone.]Zhong Keke: [Yeah.]She should have blocked her uncle's family's phone numbers long ago. Even blocking them now was considered late!Zhou Xinmian: [Well done! But didn’t they try calling you using another phone number?]Zhong Keke: [They did. But as soon as they spoke and I heard their voices, I hung up and blocked their phone numbers.]In other words, she did not give them a chance to talk.She did not want to listen to what they had to say anyway. They had worn out the last of her affection.Zhou Xinmian: [Have you made up your mind this time?]Zhong Keke: [I’ll just consider that my grandparents only gave birth to my father!]In other words, she no longer considered her uncle and his family her family!Zhou Xinmian: [You should have done that long ago! They told me Gu Lichen

    It was why he had said such things at the time to keep the woman from leaving!"Maybe I've liked you since then." It probably started earlier than he thought.Zhong Keke's eyes watered as tears were about to pour out. She raised her hands and covered her eyes, "Gu Lichen, stop telling me such things!"Such things would only make her waver when her resolution was hard-won. Did he know how much determination and perseverance it took her to ask for a break-up and keep her distance from him to stop loving him when she loved him so much?Though her hands shielded her eyes, they could not stop the tears.His fingers pulled her hands away. "Alright, I'll stop. I'll stop talking. Don't cry."Her tears had always left him flustered.He hugged her and coaxed her. The indifference in his phoenix eyes had become affection.Zhong Keke finally stopped crying, but she still sniffled occasionally.Holding a tissue, Gu Lichen carefully wiped the tears from her face. After a moment, he said,

    "Do you care about me?" She smiled bitterly. "That word isn’t only something you say but..." She did not continue speaking after a pause.However, he already knew what she was going to say.Gu Lichen turned pale. He knew that the incident at the comic fiesta was something that bothered her.He was the one who caused it!"Also, I think we'd better talk about the possibility of me getting pregnant!" she said."Okay, go ahead," he said as he asked the others in the living room to leave."Will you insist that I have the baby if I get pregnant?" she asked, looking at him."If you’re pregnant, I don't want to lose the baby," he said. He had never longed for children even though his parents had always wanted grandchildren, even if it was out of wedlock.However, such ideas had never occurred to him.Now, he wanted to have the baby because they would be... his baby with Keke!"Even if I don't want the baby, are you still going to stop me from having an abortion?" she asked.He was s

    Even though he did not love her, she still thought she was a better candidate than Zhong Keke.However, to her disappointment, the way Gu Lichen looked at her was still icy."I'm not interested in you. The Song family you're so proud of will no longer exist in Shen City a year later. Perhaps the Song family can keep some things if you start planning now. Otherwise, you'll have nothing left."With that said, Gu Lichen left the ward, leaving Song Qingyao standing where she was in a daze.Other than reluctance, resentment, and jealousy, there was more shock and fear on her face.'Does Lichen intend to eradicate the Song family within a year? Is... Is he going that far for Zhong Keke? He doesn't love Zhong Keke, right? Why is he doing it? Why?' Unfortunately, no one could give her the answer.Gu Lichen walked out of the hospital and got into the car. He slowly closed his eyes as Song Qingyao's last words flashed through his mind.'It doesn't matter... even if I don't love her?'Kek

    Song Qingyao's heart sank. Sure enough, he could find out anything he wanted to."Why did you do it?" Gu Lichen said coldly.Song Qingyao suddenly laughed. "You're asking me why? Gu Lichen, I’ve loved you for so many years. What do you think?""I wouldn't love you even if Zhong Keke didn't exist. If I wanted to fall for you, I would have done so from the beginning," said Gu Lichen.Song Qingyao's mouth was full of bitterness. She knew that!However, knowing was one thing. Her being reluctant and unwilling to accept it was a different matter!She shouted, "Why did you choose Zhong Keke? You love Ling Yiran because Ling Yiran saved your life when you were a child. What about Zhong Keke? Why her?"She accepted losing to Ling Yiran because she had never saved Lichen's life.However, how could she accept losing to Zhong Keke? "Because she's the one who saved me from the messy relationship," replied Gu Lichen."What do you mean?" Song Qingyao was puzzled.Instead of explaining, he
