Those penalties were no small amount."I do love you, Lichen. Didn't... Didn't you say my lips look like 'her' lips? Even if you only think of me as a substitute, I'm content as long as I can stay by your side. Please, don't break up with me!" She begged. She could not afford to break up with him no matter what.He let go of his fingers carelessly and sat down on the sofa once more. "It's a pity, but you're not even qualified to be a substitute now!"How could someone like her be a substitute?He had looked for someone to substitute that person again and again but was disappointed each time. The women he chose always had a part that made him feel like they were "her". However, whenever he spent time with them, he was unable to find the feeling he had felt when he was with that little girl.It was as if the more he tried to grasp it, the less of it he could obtain.Ling Luoyin wanted to leap forward and detain him, but the two mansion guards stopped her from going anywhere near G
There were probably many people who wanted to throw stones at the person who had fallen down a well. Nevertheless, Ling Yiran did not sympathize with Ling Luoyin.She was not the Holy Mother who would sympathize with someone who was bent on causing her trouble."Why won't you let me announce that you're my girlfriend?" asked Yi Jinli; he had planned to go public about their relationship as a couple. He did not like people mistaking that she had something going on with Gu Lichen.Nevertheless, Ling Yiran stopped him. "I don't want to make a big deal out of it, and I don't want to be on the news." She was not trying to hide the fact that they were dating anyway.Besides, in the circle in which they lived, many people already knew about their relationship.However, once it was announced online, she would be in the news. A bunch of people would probably come to the small restaurant to see her then. Additionally, she would be surrounded by people whenever she delivered food.Moreover,
The next day, news of Ling Luoyin having broken up with Gu Lichen quickly became a trending search topic. It has to be said that online comments suggesting that Ling Yiran had stepped in to cause the break up were quickly deleted each time they were posted.With that, Ling Yiran was completely left out of the matter.Since Gu Lichen had so many ex-girlfriends, it was no surprise to the public that "another girlfriend had been dumped". Many even said that they knew Ling Luoyin would be dumped. After all, those female celebrities who were more popular, more beautiful, and more educated than her, had been unable to escape being dumped.Compared with Gu Lichen's ex-girlfriends, Ling Luoyin had little to merit.Many people had therefore speculated that Ling Luoyin's future status in the entertainment industry was probably going to take a dive. People had previously flattered her because she was Gu Lichen's girlfriend, but now she was at best an "ex-girlfriend".In Ling Luoyin's private
Yes, it was all Ling Yiran's fault! It was Ling Yiran who made her lose all she had gained.It just did not occur to Ling Luoyin that everything she had gained was also because of Ling Yiran....Ling Yiran had just finished delivering an order when she stepped into the small restaurant. Two figures immediately rushed over. One of them raised her hand and slapped Ling Yiran in the face.The slap struck so hard that Ling Yiran tottered back for several steps as she tasted blood in her mouth."You shameless creature. Are you so jealous of your little sister? How could you seduce your sister's boyfriend? Why did the Ling family have a daughter like you?" A shrill voice followed the fall of the slap.Ling Yiran looked coldly at Fang Cuie, her stepmother. She raised her hand to ward off Fang Cuie’s other hand as it came toward her.Fang Cuie glared at her. "Why, can't your mother hit you?"Ling Yiran coldly said, "I only have one mother, and you're not her!""Who do you think your
Ling Guozhi immediately caught his wife and shouted at his eldest daughter, "How can you treat your Aunt Fang this way? She's your elder, after all. Come on, apologize to your Aunt Fang!"Ling Yiran looked at her father coldly. She used to work hard to gain his approval so that he would treat her like how he treated Ling Luoyin, but it all turned out to be wishful thinking.Finally, she had given up completely. "Apologize? What do I have to apologize for? You expect me to crane my neck toward her and let her hit me if she wants to hit me? If she wants to scold me or even my mother, I have to let her? Do I have to be more explicit about who wronged my mother in the first place?"There was a flash of embarrassment on Ling Guozhi's face, but then, amid Fang Cuie's screams, he said, "So what if Aunt Fang hits you? Why don't you tell me the dirty deeds you've done to your little sister? If it hadn't been for you, she wouldn't have been dumped."Ling Yiran sneered. "Why don't you ask her
Yiran... Had better luck than her! Zhuo Qianyun's eyes dimmed when she thought of her past. Once, she also thought she had met a man who was willing to fight the whole world for her.However, it turned out that the man regarded her as his enemy.Pathetic and ridiculous—that was her comment on that relationship.Now, she just wanted Lil Yan to grow up well.Yi Jinli lowered his head to look at the corner of Ling Yiran's mouth that was injured from the slap. He saw that her cheek was swollen as well. There was a trace of blood trickling down the corner of her mouth. The sight stung his eyes.Frowning, his fingertip gently brushed across her wound. "Who did this?""Why are you here?" she asked without answering."I just finished some business and happened to pass by, so I thought I'd come and see you." It was a good thing he had come to see her. If he had not come, she would have been bullied by her father and stepmother just like that. "Who hit you just now?" He repeated his quest
She hesitated and said, "I'm actually quite happy at the small restaurant, and..." She paused and said very seriously, "I want to work on my own, Jin. If I were to work at your company, I won’t have to do anything if everyone knows I’m your girlfriend. I'll just sit there and get paid every month.""Isn't that great?" he asked."I want to see how far I can go on my own. I don’t expect to spend my whole life delivering food. I'm also looking at some research materials in private, hoping it'll help me in my future career," said Ling Yiran.She had begun planning for her future career.Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly as he heard this. Then, he raised his hand and stroked her swollen cheek.She gasped in slight pain.He said, "Apply some medicine when you get back. Also, didn't I tell you to call me if there are any problems? Why didn't you call me?"God knew what would have happened if he had not decided to drop by.She replied somewhat awkwardly, "Uh... I forgot..." After a
Through this glass wall, one could see the hubbub in the center of the hall outside. There were singing and dancing performances by various resident singers.Compared with the noise outside, the private room was strangely quiet.Gu Lichen poured himself a cup of tea, sipped on it, and stared coldly at the uproar outside that was alien to him.The door was pushed open, and the sound of footsteps rang in the private room.Gu Lichen turned his head slightly and looked at the visitor. "You're here. Would you like a cup of tea?""No thanks." Yi Jinli walked to a chair opposite Gu Lichen and sat down. "I came to tell you a few simple words. I'll leave right after."Gu Lichen raised his eyebrows slightly. "Really? What do you want to tell me?""It's your business to break up with Ling Luoyin, but don't get Yiran involved. I have limited patience and won't let Yiran be targeted again and again." Yi Jinli warned.Gu Lichen's eyes glinted. "What do you mean?""Today, Ling Luoyin's paren
