He wanted to hear her voice because hearing her voice would reassure him!A moment later, the call was answered, but what came through was a voice Yi Jinli had not thought of."Jinli?"That was... Gu Lichen's voice.Yi Jinli's heart sank immediately. Almost mechanically, he said, "It's me. Why are you answering Yiran's phone?""She's changing her clothes. Her phone and bag are outside... Shall I tell her to call you back later?" Gu Lichen's voice said lightly."It's all right." Yi Jinli ended the call.When the call was over, Gu Lichen lowered his eyes and looked at the phone in his hand.Just now, after seeing the caller ID on Ling Yiran's phone spelling out ‘Jin’, he answered the call as if he was momentarily possessed.Usually, he would never answer someone else's phone call.However... He had done that just now. Was it because it was Yi Jinli who called?The man who he previously thought would never fall in love with any woman, fell in love with a woman he was also inter
He would wonder how beautiful she would look wearing the dresses he had bought for her.However, he never had such a shock. The woman in front of him was wearing an ordinary and cheap dress. She walked slowly to the mirror and looked at it, but this simple act made his eyes redden instantly.Ling Yiran was now standing in front of the mirror, looking at the dress she was wearing. She took a fancy to the dress because it looked like the floral dress her grandmother had bought her when she was a child.Unfortunately, the floral dress ripped and was thrown away.She even cried for it back then!Fortunately, the dress was quite long. She did not have to worry about flashing something when riding the electric bike in it. Besides, it was not expensive—280 dollars. She could still bargain the price in a shop like this, making it even cheaper."What do you think, Miss? Do you like it?" asked the shop owner as she stepped forward."It's all right, but can you reduce the price a little?"
She was almost choked by his embrace."I'm not... Not..." she said with difficulty.Just as Ling Yiran thought she might faint from lack of breath, a sudden gust of force yanked her out of Gu Lichen’s arms. The next moment, she heard the pow of a punch in her ear. It was followed by a muffled snort, the sound of heavy objects falling, and the crash of chairs and shelves.Ling Yiran took a deep breath. Then, all she could see was Yi Jinli's face.It was Jin who had yanked her out of Gu Lichen's arms! Ling Yiran stared blankly at Yi Jinli who was standing beside her, wondering why he was here.With a gloomy face, Yi Jinli stared at Gu Lichen who had just been punched to the ground by him.Gu Lichen was now leaning uneasily against a row of shelves, surrounded by the mess from his crash.Blood trickled down the corner of his lips. It was obvious that Yi Jinli's punch had not been light."Do you know what you're doing?" asked Yi Jinli with a ghastly pale face. His voice was as cold
His body suddenly shuddered. He turned to look at her in surprise. There was too much emotion in those dark, amorous eyes that she could not understand."Let me talk to him, Jin," she said, holding his hand firmly as if to comfort him.Yi Jinli looked at her without moving. His thin lips were pressed together tightly.He was hesitating. He was hesitating because he did not know what to do. Ling Yiran took a step forward and walked out from behind Yi Jinli. He did not stop her.She looked at Gu Lichen who was a few steps away. "I'm not the one you're looking for. I have no impression of what you just said, so I think you've mistaken me for someone else!"Yi Jinli's eyes glistened as she spoke, while Gu Lichen's face looked incredulous. "That's impossible, you... Forgot, didn’t you? Did you forget because it was so long ago?""I've always had a good memory. I don't remember anything like what you just said ever happening. If I really do look like the little girl you remember and
Yi Jinli said nothing but drove on with a panic he had never felt before.He did not know what he was afraid of. Was he afraid of Gu Lichen finding out that Yiran was the one he was looking for, or was he afraid that Yiran would have feelings for Gu Lichen?No, Gu Lichen... Could not have figured it out. He had tampered with the evidence just in case.Yiran... It seemed that she really did not remember the events of that year. After investigating the matter, he knew that Yiran had fallen ill a few days after Gu Lichen was found. She was even sent straight back to Shen City with a high fever.It was probably because of the fever that she could not remember some things.It was just that... Even though he was prepared, why was he still agitated?It was as if there were exceptions to everything. Some things would happen without him knowing it.Just like the pictures he saw of Gu Lichen holding her while crying. What was she thinking then? Why had she never said anything to him about
"Why are we here?" Ling Yiran asked in confusion.Yi Jinli pressed his thin lips together and looked straight through the car window at the view of Shen City.His father had brought him here when he was still alive and said to him, "You know what, Jin? Only when you're on top can you understand what it feels like to be lonely on top. However, if you're not on top, then most of the time, you can't even control your own destiny."Therefore, if he wanted to be in control of his destiny, he had to keep climbing to the top!In the process, whenever he was upset, he would come here and look out at the skyline of Shen City. He would tell himself that one day, he would be in control of his destiny.However, how long had he not been here since he took over Yi Group?Back then, he felt that he was already in complete control of his destiny and would not be pushed around by anyone anymore.However, today, he drove here again.Was he really in control of his destiny, or was his fate alread
Why... Did she have to spell the answer out?However, he now looked as if he wanted her to answer him."Tell me. Why? Tell me why you won't fall for Gu Lichen." He was pressing her for an answer.Ling Yiran could not help blushing, but she still said it out loud, "Because you're the one I've fallen for. There's really nothing between me and Gu Lichen, Jin. I don't want you to misunderstand me."Was there really nothing?His eyes became darker and darker. The photos of Gu Lichen holding her in his arms that were in his email inbox seemed to appear in front of his eyes.Even... The photo of Gu Lichen crying in front of her.Those photos seemed to mock him in silence. Despite all his efforts, he still could not break the bond between her and Gu Lichen."Nothing? Have you nothing to hide from me?" he asked in a mutter."I've made everything clear between me and Gu Lichen." She thought he was asking about the incident today."Well then... Yiran, how crazy are you about me?" His br
Ling Yiran was stunned. 'Prove? How can I prove it?'However, the next moment, as she watched him stare at her, she looked as if she had suddenly realized something. She hesitated, then took the initiative to raise her hands and put them around Yi Jinli's neck.Then, she lifted her chin slightly and kissed him on the lips.His lips were cool, and his scent reassured her. Her kiss was shallow, only a touch on the lips, but it was an initiative from her.The friction on the lips was filled with love... It was her proof of how crazy she was for him.However, such a kiss was not enough for him.Just as she was about to withdraw from the kiss, his right hand grabbed the back of her head. His lips pressed hard against hers. He turned and sucked, prying open her teeth and squeezing the tip of his tongue into her mouth. He demanded all her sweetness.She was startled by the sudden intensity of the kiss, but immediately, she became addicted to it.The kiss grew deeper and deeper, and he
