Who was Ling Yiran? She had been to prison!In a small town like this, people had a natural disdain for ex-convicts. Some would criticize Ling Yiran, while some thought that Ling Yiran should not be here keeping vigil at all. She was a disgrace to the Lu family, so they should kick her out!Every time the Lu family members heard something like that, they were so afraid that these words would anger Yi Jinli. If that happened, he would wipe out the Lu family and they would be too helpless for tears.Although Lifang was now under Gu Lichen's protection, Gu Lichen had never said that he would protect the Lu family!On the day of Old Mrs. Lu's funeral procession, Ling Yiran stood among the crowd while dressed in black. Her eyes were slightly red as she had obviously been crying again.Yi Jinli wore a black suit. He stood beside Ling Yiran and accompanied her to the funeral home.The Lu family booked a hall in the funeral home so that they could accommodate those coming to the service.
Before the man could finish, he was already kicked to the ground with one foot."Sorry, I couldn't control my foot," Yi Jinli said lightly, but his left foot stepped on the man's heart, causing the man to immediately cry out in pain. His face was red, but he could not move the foot that was pressed against his heart.Seeing this, First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt of the Lu family immediately came forward to say, "Mr. Yi, um... You shouldn’t be doing this at a funeral.""It would be disrespectful to the dead if anything happened.""The man only said a few words. Don't take him seriously, Mr. Yi!"Yi Jinli looked lazily at the three people in front of him. "I think if Grandma saw someone insulting her granddaughter like this, she would probably approve of me doing so, wouldn't she?"His half-smile sent cold shivers down their backs."Of course, of course, she would!""That's right. This man is just angry that Yiran refused his proposal back then, so he's here to make trou
Ling Yiran learned that from her time in prison!She stepped forward and looked quietly at her grandmother who lay in the coffin, knowing it would be the last time she could see her. The kind old woman gave her a lot of love after she lost her mother and made her enjoy her childhood.Ling Yiran gently placed the flower in her hand in front of her grandmother's coffin and bid her final goodbye in her heart.She did not go over when Grandma's body was cremated. She was afraid, afraid that she would not be able to stand the sight of her grandmother's body being cremated."Grandma left me after all, Jin. There's one less person in the world who truly loves me and treats me well," murmured Ling Yiran.Looking at Ling Yiran, Yi Jinli said, "I won't leave you." 'I’ll always be here for you.'"Yes, I know you won't leave me, and I... Won't leave you too," said Ling Yiran. He always gave her peace of mind when she was at a loss.Grandma's ashes were cremated and placed in an urn.The Lu
...Ling Yiran sat in the car, watching the scenery receding on both sides. She began to hum softly. A beautiful and soothing song filled the air in the car.Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly and waited until Ling Yiran had finished singing before asking, "What’s this song?""Strolling Down the Path of Life. It’s an old song. My grandmother loved listening to it. She was the one who taught me to sing it. I used to sing it for fun when I was a kid. I didn't understand much of the lyrics back then, but the older I grew, the more I understand them," answered Ling Yiran."It's indeed a good song," he said."Yes, too bad Grandma can't teach me any more songs," she murmured, looking exhausted.She had only slept for three to four hours a day. She spent most of her time beside her grandmother's refrigerated coffin or was busy with funeral affairs, so she did not have time to sleep properly."Get some shut-eye if you're tired. It's a two-hour drive back," said Yi Jinli.Ling Yiran
"What if the bad guys catch you too?" It was a little boy's voice, but she could not see his face."No, they won't!" the little girl retorted at once.The little boy just looked at her thoughtfully without speaking a word.After a while, the little girl muttered, "If I get caught too, at… At least we can keep each other company. I'm not afraid!"The little girl held the little boy by the hand tightly. The pair of silver bracelets on her slim, fair wrist were particularly conspicuous.The little girl and the little boy ran on the rugged hill road. The little boy was usually well-pampered. Even if he had great motor skills, he had never experienced a situation like this.The little girl led the way while tightly holding hands.Suddenly, the boy slipped and began to fall down the hill. Due to inertia, the girl followed suit until her body was stuck in a small branch that grew out of the side of the hill. That stopped them from falling.The little girl's left hand was still holding
As soon as Ling Yiran touched her forehead, she felt a layer of cold sweat. 'What's wrong with me? Did I have a nightmare? The hill in the dream was the hill near the town.'Also... Sceneries from the dream…' She could not help biting her lip.The sun shone brightly outside the window. It was sunny.Ling Yiran looked at the time. It was almost 11 a.m., and she had slept for a long time. There was a note from Yi Jinli on the nightstand.His handwriting was lanky and strong.Ling Yiran read the note and knew that he had gone to the office early this morning to deal with the company's business affairs that had accumulated over the days, but he would be back to have dinner with her.Looking at the words on the note, Ling Yiran felt a warmth in her heart. The feeling of anxiety over her dream earlier seemed to fade a little.She took a change of clothes into the bathroom and took a shower.As the warm water washed over her, she looked down at her left hand in a trance.It was as if
"It's nothing. If it's what you want, of course, I'll do it for you," Gu Lichen said lightly."That's very kind of you, Chenchen," said Hua Lifang.The word ‘Chenchen’ made Gu Lichen feel a pang in his heart. When she uttered the word, he somehow found it irritating to his ear."Call me Lichen from now on. Chenchen is just a childhood nickname," said Gu Lichen."Sure," Hua Lifang replied obediently.Speaking of which, it was Ling Yiran who told her about the name Chenchen. When Ling Yiran was a child, she came home with her dress in tatters and said that she had saved someone. No one in the family believed her and they all thought she was lying to cover the fact that she was being naughty. As such, they beat her for it.However, Hua Lifang was curious as a child and went to ask Ling Yiran about it. Hence, she knew how Ling Yiran had saved the little boy called Chenchen.Otherwise, when Gu Lichen found her, she would not have succeeded in pretending to be Ling Yiran. Of course,
"A year?" Qin Lianyi gave a low cry. "Then your wedding with Yi Jinli will also be postponed a year?"Ling Yiran nodded. "I haven't talked to Jin about this yet. I'll talk to him tonight and see what he thinks." However, she had a hunch that he would agree.It seemed as if he had agreed to every request she made ever since they started dating.Qin Lianyi looked at her friend's haggard face and suggested. "Why don't we go to the shopping mall? Bai Tingxin asked me to accompany him to a meeting. He said he’s ordered a set of clothes for me to pick up at the shop in the shopping mall near here."Qin Lianyi did not want to be noticed at all at such conferences, banquets, and so on. However, Bai Tingxin kept dragging her to them as if he was addicted.The most infuriating of all was when she argued that she was busy at work and needed to work overtime or something, the fellow would only smile and say it did not matter. Then, she would get a call from her superior who said she need not
