"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
"You're back. How did the doctor's appointment go?" asked Yi Jinli."It's all right." Ling Yiran thought for a while and said, "About that headache. If I get it again over time, why don't you get me another doctor?"His eyes glistened a little before replying, "Sure.""By the way, I just realized that you're interested in making cakes. What made you want to learn it? How long have you been learning?" asked Ling Yiran as she looked down at the cake Yi Jinli had just decorated.It seemed well decorated. At least to a layman like her, it looked about the same as the ones in the cake shop."Mr. Yi's a quick learner. He got the hang of it with one lesson." The pastry chef nearby praised Yi Jinli."All right. That's all for today. You can leave," Yi Jinli said to the pastry chef.He nodded and left the kitchen.Suddenly, only Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli were left in the spacious kitchen."How about you? Did anything happen today other than seeing the doctor?" he asked calmly.He knew e
