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
He stared at her quietly, then smiled softly.This smile was like the melting snow mountain in spring, so beautiful that people could not look away."Yiran, I believe you," said Yi Jinli as he opened his thin lips slightly.He was sensitive and never really believed in anything.However, he wanted to believe what she said–That she would not fail him and that she would not let him down!She hid the incident between her and Gu Lichen from him, but... He would believe her again. He would believe her again.He would believe what she said and believe that there was nothing between her and Gu Lichen! He would also believe that he would not follow in his father's footsteps!He leaned forward and put his lips to hers.It was not as soft as when she kissed him, but it was domineering. It was so domineering as if he wanted to take away all the sweetness in her.However, while it was domineering, it had an endless gentleness.The gentleness was only for her!By the time the kiss was ov
Her hands were in his. Their small and large hands stood out in contrast.His hands were beautiful, from the shape of the fingers, length, to the joints and nails–They all looked so beautiful.On the contrary, some joints of her hand looked a little unnatural, and two joints were particularly prominent. They looked just like hands that had done laborious work for many years. If one were to look closely, they could see some scars on the skin of her hands…Hands like that seemed very ugly when it was next to his."What's the matter? Holding my hand like that..." Ling Yiran bit her lip slightly and tried to pull her hand back.However, he stopped her. "From now on, anything you can't do with your hands, I'll do for you."She was shocked, and then after seeing the guilt on his face, she seemed to realize something. She smiled gently and said, "It has nothing to do with you that my hands are faulty. You don't need to feel guilty."He looked at the smile on her face with a mixed look
"Who is it? Who's blacklisting me?" she asked bitterly.However, when she heard the name from her manager's mouth, her face paled.Yi Jinli!The one who wanted to blacklist her was Yi Jinli!Yi Jinli had never been interested in the entertainment industry. He had never picked on any celebrity in the entertainment industry before, and now... This was the first time he did so!As for the reason... Hao Yimeng's mind went back to the time at the fair when she humbly apologized to Ling Yiran and asked for forgiveness, but Ling Yiran refused.Later, Yi Jinli even said, ‘If she won't forgive you, then no.’She suspected Yi Jinli would do something later on, but she did not expect him to blacklist her in the entertainment industry.She was almost Yi Jinli's sister-in-law in name!Even though Yi Jinli never loved her sister, the Yi family and the Hao family were somehow related to each other from an outsider's perspective.If word got around that she was blacklisted by Yi Jinli, then
The mother and daughter, Lyu Zhixue and Hao Yimeng, were immediately surprised at this.The piece of land in the south of the city was a hot piece of land. The Hao family had put in a lot of effort to get it. The real estate boom of the past few years had made this land now worth ten billion dollars!Were they giving Ling Yiran ten billion dollars just like that?How could they reconcile to that!Lyu Zhixue was just about to have a fit of anger, but what the mother and daughter did not expect was Hao Qirong’s face to pale. "Are you sure you won't reconsider it, Young Master Yi?"Could it be that... Yi Jinli refused?Lyu Zhixue and Hao Yimeng showed a surprised look at the same time.After a while, Hao Qirong put down his phone and looked into the eyes of his second daughter with helplessness and sympathy.The causes that were planted now bore the fruit.Who would have thought that Ling Yiran, who anyone could trample on back then, would now have the most powerful backup in She
She had also figured it out these days. If it was doomed that she and Ye Wenming would be entangled with each other again and if it was doomed that Ye Wenming would find her, then when the day came, she would just let him take his revenge to his heart's content."However..." Ling Yiran wanted to say more, but Zhuo Qianyun gently took her hand and said, "I know you want to help me. I'm really happy to have a friend like you. It's just... This is something between Ye Wenming and me. It’ll have to be settled eventually."After a pause, Zhuo Qianyun added, "Yiran, I have only one thing to ask of you."Zhuo Qianyun's expression was solemn and serious, which made Ling Yiran's heart tremble suddenly."I just hope that if... Ye Wenming does find me, then maybe I won't be able to visit my mother and Lil Yan for a while. I hope you can take care of them when the time comes. After all, one is old, one is young, and both are incapable," said Zhuo Qianyun.She had left all her money to her mot
