However, it all turned out to be excessive expectations.After playing for about half an hour, Ling Yiran looked at the time and saw that it was about time to send Lil Yan back. She took the little one by the hand and got back to Yi Jinli."You're done?" asked Yi Jinli as he raised his eyebrows."Pretty much. If we don't send Lil Yan back now, Sis Zhuo will be worried," said Ling Yiran. Then, she looked at Lil Yan whose face was red. She signed and spoke, "Does Lil Yan like it here?"The little one nodded his head vigorously."Then, I'll take you here again next time," said Ling Yiran.The little one nodded again. He grinned at Ling Yiran, wrapping his arms around her waist while his small head rubbed against her stomach to show affection.Yi Jinli could not help frowning. He raised his hand, lifting the little one straight from Ling Yiran's side. He placed Lil Yan on the other side. "Let's go, then."He did not like anyone getting too intimate with Ling Yiran!Ling Yiran did
However, Zhuo Qianyun soon came to her senses. She stepped forward to take her son from Yi Jinli and said, "Thank you. I'll carry Lil Yan into the room first."With that, Zhuo Qianyun took Lil Yan in her arms and headed to the backroom behind the small restaurant.Ling Yiran saw this and said to Yi Jinli, "I'll have a word with Sis Zhuo. Give me a minute." Then, she followed her into the backroom.When Ling Yiran entered the room, Zhuo Qianyun was putting Lil Yan on the bed. She pulled over the quilt and gently covered her son with it."Thank you for taking care of Lil Yan today, Yiran." Zhuo Qianyun thanked Ling Yiran.Ling Yiran bit her lip slightly and looked straight at Zhuo Qianyun, saying, "I met Ye Wenming today, Sis Zhuo."The words ‘Ye Wenming’ made Zhuo Qianyun stiffen suddenly, and her face paled. "He..." She had just started talking but could not go on anymore.It was because she did not know how to start or how to ask. Her eyes were filled with a layer of fear and t
Once Ling Yiran left, Zhuo Qianyun looked down at her son who was still sound asleep and raised her hand to touch his young face with a bitter expression.She thought of when the child asked where his father was in sign language.She could only tell the worst lie—in heaven.She did not know how long she could keep the lie. However, she could not tell Lil Yan the truth about where his real father was.What was she to say? Tell him that his father had purposely approached her with malice from the beginning? Tell him that she shouted at him, "What if I have your baby?" However, the man just coldly said, "Get an abortion. Who are you to bear my child?"Did Lil Yan know that from the beginning, his father did not expect to have such a small being as Lil Yan?That man had never loved her. It was just her wishful thinking from the start. She was foolish. She was stupid. After understanding his true intentions of approaching her, she just ended up with a more tragic ending.She might no
It was as if no matter how in love the two people in the photo were, it had nothing to do with her.She thought she must have already given up.Now, she just wanted to protect her son and her family!…After Ling Yiran left the small restaurant and returned to Yi Residence with a heavy heart, Yi Jinli said, "Are you still thinking about Lil Yan?"Ling Yiran nodded. "Sis Zhuo doesn't want Ye Wenming to find her. Sis Zhuo has been telling Lil Yan that his father’s in heaven all this time. But Ye Wenming already has someone else. If it were me, I'd stay away and rather not see him again."What she said made his brows furrow. She might not have meant what she said, but he, as a listener, took it seriously."Is it because... He sent Zhuo Qianyun to prison?" asked Yi Jinli. Only he knew how nervous he was when he asked this seemingly ordinary question."Yes," Ling Yiran gave a resounding answer.Yi Jinli's heart began to beat so violently that it almost seemed to stop."Then if it
"All right, I promise you. You'll always see me." Her gentle voice rang in the air. It was as soft as the softest of comforts, soothing his troubled heart.He looked down, straight into her eyes. "Really? You're not lying?""Of course, it's true," she said, for how could he, a man who loved her so much, do anything to hurt her?He was not Ye Wenming, and their life would not be like Ye Wenming and Sis Zhuo’s."Tell me you love me and you can't bear not seeing me," he said with a hoarse voice, his bright eyes filled with yearning and longing.Sometimes the look in his eyes shocked and amazed her, making her feel as if she was the world to him.How much did this man love her? If at first, she had doubted his love, now she was certain."I love you." She put her hand on his cheek. She did not understand why he was afraid. Perhaps it was because of his childhood experiences that he felt insecure about love? In that case, she would try to soothe his fears. "Therefore, I can't bear not
"At least that job makes me feel like I can support myself," said Ling Yiran.Yi Jinli's eyes glistened as he heard this. Then, he smiled and said, "I'll take you to work today." As he spoke, he kissed her on the forehead, then pulled back the covers before getting out of bed."Ah!" Ling Yiran let out a low cry and subconsciously turned away. She... Saw it. She saw it just now!Her shy appearance made him smile. He only found it extremely cute."Why, don't you like it?" He turned around, his hands resting on either side of her thin quilt while his warm breath sprinkled over her face.Ling Yiran's face turned red. He was so close that it made her a little confused about where to look. "Yes... I'm sorry.""What are you sorry for?" He raised his hand and took hers, letting it touch the skin before his chest. "You touched here yesterday, and you saw it too, didn't you? You love me and I love you, so it's only natural for you to look at me. Unless you find me unattractive.""Of cours
As the years went by, the hideous scar became shallower and shallower, but it remained there.With today's technology, he could easily choose to remove the scar with high-tech methods, but he never did.It was as if to remind himself of something with the scar.If the source of his insecurity toward relationships was his mother, what about her? She was also an insecure person. Due to Xiao Ziqi's betrayal, she was even afraid of love. She once thought she might live alone for the rest of her life.Now, it was he who gave her that sense of security and made her want to love someone again."What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Yi Jinli looked up just in time to catch Ling Yiran's almond-shaped eyes. The way she was looking at him was with distress mixed with compassion and pity, as well as other emotions that he could not understand.Ling Yiran suddenly came to her senses and shook her head. "Nothing. I just realized that I love you very much." As she spoke, she bent
However, she could tell that Yiran loved Yi Jinli very much. She thought about it but did not say anything. After all, Yiran had been through a lot like her, and Yiran must have thought about the concerns that came to her mind.She could only hope in her heart that Yiran could have a happy ending, unlike her.Qin Lianyi chatted with Ling Yiran in her spare time during the afternoon. Then, she let out a series of exultations when she learned that her best friend had gone to see the premiere of Gao Jingshan’s movie. She only wished she had been there yesterday.Then, she started asking about Ling Yiran's meeting with Gao Jingshan yesterday and her photo with him.Ling Yiran sent Qin Lianyi the photos she had taken on her phone yesterday. As for the signed photos and the posters Gao Jingshan gave her yesterday, she would have to take photos of them and send them to Qin Lianyi after she got back."Wow, I envy you so much for getting to see Gao Jingshan up close. I heard that he has a
