Chapter 728

Author: Gu family's Little Bamboo
When Ling Yiran pushed open the door to the president's office, she could only see the tall figure standing by the French window that overlooked the skyline of Shen City.

Ling Yiran suddenly found that the image in front of her was almost like a poster. He simply stood there as if he had the entire Shen City under his control.

However, it was true that he did have the ability to rule Shen City.

He looked so different from the fragile, lonely man she had seen in the wee hours of the morning.

"Jin," she said aloud.

He turned his head around and looked at her. A slight smile appeared on his lips. "You're here."

"Yes, I brought you lunch. See if you like it." As she spoke, she walked with familiarity to the coffee table and put down the lunchboxes and fruits in her hand.

He came over, opened the lid of his lunchbox, and sat down on the couch.

Ling Yiran only felt as if she had gone back to the days when she had lunch with him in the office every noon.

"Is it good?" she asked expec

    There was a slight twist in her knuckles that he knew was from when her finger bones were crushed in prison.Some fine movements, which might have been easy for her in the past, were laborious for her now.She was now peeling him an apple with such difficulty.'Therefore, she must have me in her heart. She said it before, I'm the only one she loves!'Yi Jinli kept telling himself as his bright eyes just looked at the movements of her hands, as if to tell himself how much she cared about him.When she finally finished peeling the apple in her hand, Ling Yiran breathed a sigh of relief and handed it to Yi Jinli, saying, "Alright. Here you go."He took the apple and took a bite. The sweet flesh rippled in his mouth."Is it sweet?" she asked."It's sweet," he answered."I'll have one too." As she spoke, she took another apple, intending to peel it.However, the next moment, he stretched out his long arms and gathered her into his embrace. "Why bother peeling another one?""Eh?"

    "Yes, a cake will be enough. However, this year, my birthday comes the day after the 49th day of Grandma's death. I don't want a big celebration. I just want to have a cake with you, Lianyi, and the rest," said Ling Yiran.This was her first birthday after they got together.However, Grandma had just passed away, after all. She was still mourning for her.She did not want a boisterous birthday celebration. She just wanted to celebrate her birthday quietly with him and her friends."Sure. I'll prepare your birthday cake," he answered."Thank you." She smiled and looked at the time. It was almost time for him to work in the afternoon. "Then, I'll get going and leave you to work."As she spoke, she picked up her bag and stood up.However, before she had taken two steps, a pair of arms encircled her from behind her, and she was immediately swept into his arms.His face was buried in her neck, taking in her body scent. "Don't... Go to the hospital tomorrow. I'll take you to another

    A few days ago, Lil Yan saw the birthday present she prepared for Yiran and asked out of curiosity. Therefore, she told her son that the 22nd of this month was his Aunty Yiran’s birthday. When the time came, she would give it to her as a surprise.She did not expect her son to take Yiran's birthday to heart.Come to think of it, Yiran was so kind to Lil Yan. How could Lil Yan not take it to heart?Children were always simple and direct. They would get close to whoever was kind to them."I want to choose a present for Aunty myself," the little one said seriously.Zhuo Qianyun could not help hesitating as she heard this.'Yiran has given Lil Yan so much help. Without Yiran's help, Lil Yan wouldn't have gotten such a good hearing aid so soon. It’s only normal that he wants to choose a gift for Yiran.'However, the mall is crowded, and we’d be spending a lot of time outside to choose a present.'The longer we stay out, the more risk there is!'After all... Ye Wenming should still

    It was... Ye Wenming!He was dressed in a suit and tie, and his hair was as scrupulously combed as she remembered. His face was cold and handsome. Even his side profile made her heart throb with pain.Time had been kind to him. Years had passed, and he was as handsome as ever.However, she was already covered with wounds and was no longer the same person.As if sensing her gaze, Ye Wenming turned his head in her direction.Almost subconsciously, Zhuo Qianyun immediately picked up her son and ran for the exit passageway in the other direction."Hey! Miss, what happened?" the sales assistant shouted at Zhuo Qianyun for her sudden change.Ye Wenming, who was standing on the escalator, saw nothing but a figure running away, flitting across his sight.However, just for a moment, his face paled. Then, all the people who were following him saw President Ye, who was known for his calm and composed manner, running speedily down the escalator and toward the exit passageway as if he was c

    …"Mommy?" Lil Yan did not call out to Zhuo Qianyun until they got into a taxi.Although he did not know why his mother had suddenly picked him up when he was picking out a birthday present for Aunty, he had always been an obedient child and knew there must be a reason for her to do that, so he kept quiet all the way."I… Saw someone I didn't want to see just now, so... I ran away with you in my arms. How about I bring you to buy a present for Aunty Yiran next time?" said Zhuo Qianyun.The little one nodded and asked in a babyish voice, "Is the person you don't want to see a bad person?"Zhuo Qianyun suddenly found her nose to be a little sore. When Lil Yan was younger, he once asked her where his father was.Each time he asked, she would say that his father was in heaven.She wondered when Lil Yan would understand what it meant to be in heaven.However, she knew that she could not tell him that his father was only a few dozen meters away from them, and she could not tell him t

    Ling Yiran stood in front of the hospital's entrance, still hesitating and unsure whether she was making the right choice.'Am I really going to find out the truth? If it's a lost memory, could it be restored? What happens after I restore it? Will I be entangled with Gu Lichen, or will it make Jin feel more insecure?'Should I restore the memory, or should I bury it forever? Should I just act as if I know everything and treat my headache in some other way?'Or, as long as I can keep Gu Lichen at arm's length in the future and not let him stimulate my memory, then the headaches will probably stop, right?'"Miss Ling!" Suddenly, a female voice rang in Ling Yiran's ear.Before she knew it, she found herself in front of Dr. Leng's office, and the one who called her had been the nurse who was with Dr. Leng yesterday."Miss Ling, something came up with Dr. Leng this morning, and she had to ask for leave for some time. I'm sorry to make you come here in vain. Dr. Leng took an emergency

    Her silence seemed to allow Gu Lichen to confirm his speculation further. "Therefore, have you really forgotten something? Does it have to do with me?"Ling Yiran bit her lip slightly. "Mr. Gu, you have an overactive imagination. I did come here today for hypnosis, but not because of the reason you’ve mentioned. It's to treat some of my other symptoms. As you know, I was in prison for three years before, so I have some anxiety disorder or something."His phoenix eyes were fixed on her as if to distinguish the truth from falsehood in her words. "Is that so? Anxiety disorders? Do you have them?"She met his eyes. "How do you know I don't?"He suddenly moved closer to her, his elegant and handsome face inching closer to her eyes. "Did you know that when you grabbed my hand at the fair that day, you said the same things as the little girl who saved me?""I told you. It was nonsense," she said without flinching."Nonsense?" he sneered, "You grabbed my hand and said you won't let go, t

    Taking a deep breath, Ling Yiran stopped struggling and calmed down. "It was Sis Lifang who saved you, wasn't it? Mr. Gu, you found this out yourself, I suppose. Don't you find it amusing to ask me that now?"Her words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down on him and turning him pale in an instant."Gu Lichen, don't you find your speculation absurd? How do you think Sis Lifang would feel if she was here and heard what you just asked me?" she asked.His reddened eyes were still fixed on her, and indeed, all the clues in his investigation pointed to Hua Lifang.Those clues were telling him that Hua Lifang was the one he was looking for.'But why do I think the woman in front of me is the one? Is it because of her looks? Or is it because of the look in her eyes that she sometimes showed?'The look where she retains a trace of pride even though she was trampled on, and the yearning for and pursuit of the so-called justice... It's so similar!'"Are you… Really not her?" He sp

    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
