Ling Yiran stumbled as her knees went weak. She was about to fall over.The next moment, an arm grabbed her waist and prevented her from falling."What's wrong with your leg?" Gu Lichen asked coldly. He saw her limping over earlier."It's an old problem," said Ling Yiran before she thanked him for his help.He pressed his thin lips together and withdrew his hand while his gaze fell on her legs. 'Old problem. Does she have such old problems?'"Yiran, are you okay?" Hua Lifang was quick to show her sisterly affection. "If your legs are uncomfortable, you can sit down and have a rest."Ling Yiran glanced coldly at her cousin. If her cousin really cared about her, she would not have looked on coldly while happily playing pool as she stood there.Yu Kaihao was stunned and said with an unnatural expression on his face, "You know... each other?""Yeah, Yiran's my cousin," Hua Lifang said with a smile.Yu Kaihao's expression suddenly became more unnatural. Then, he turned to Ling Yira
'No! No way!'I'll take Ling Yiran's place completely one day. I'll be the one to stand beside him and have the last laugh!'…Ling Yiran took the bus and went back to her rental house. Her legs were so sore that she could hardly lift them. She took out two band-aids from her first aid kit and applied them on her knees.She breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the heat in her knee and the easing pain.Tonight had been like a battle for her. She was exhausted, and her back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.It seemed that even if it was already summer, her joints could not endure the cold air-conditioning for too long.The encounter with Gu Lichen and Hua Lifang this evening was a surprise. When Gu Lichen grabbed her by the arm and asked about Yi Jinli right before she left, she felt a pang in her heart again.'If it was back in the old days, Jin would probably have accompanied me if I was going to a place like a nightclub.'Yu Kaihao would not have the guts to keep her
'Jinli... broke up with Ling Yiran? How is that possible? The man who didn't even allow others to have any ideas about her would break up with her?' Gu Lichen had known Yi Jinli for years, so he knew that he was cold and had never been interested in women. Ling Yiran was the only exception.People like Jinli would either not love or hold on to it forever once they fell in love.However, now there was no forever. He had broken up with her!"Why did you break up?" he asked as he stepped closer."That's personal, and I don't feel the need to tell you, Mr. Gu." She took two steps back from him, putting some distance between them. "If there's nothing else, I want to go home and rest."As she spoke, she took out the key, opened the door of the rental house, and went straight in before closing the door.Gu Lichen was left standing in a trance outside the house.Gu Lichen stared at the tightly closed door. Somehow, her calm expression when she told him about her breakup with Yi Jinli
Yi Jinli's fingers clutched Gu Lichen's neck as if he was about to break his neck.Ye Chongwei quickly put down the glass in his hand and grabbed Yi Jinli's hand, trying to pull it away from Gu Lichen’s neck. "Jinli, what are you doing? Lichen was just asking. You… You mustn't act on impulse..."Ye Chongwei was scared to death, but Gu Lichen, who was being grabbed by the neck, showed no fear on his face. He asked, "Is it... because of me?"However, the moment he uttered the words, the fingers around his neck tightened so hard that Gu Lichen started choking as his face turned red.Ye Chongwei got nervous. "Jinli, let go! Let go! Are you really going to strangle Lichen?"'Gosh. What the hell is going on? If something happens to these two big shots when they're at my place, my life will probably be over!'Ye Chongwei tried his best to pull Yi Jinli's hand away.'Is it.. because of Gu Lichen?' Yi Jinli's eyes stared at the person in front of him.No, rather than Gu Lichen, it was b
"Did Ye Wenming come when you were hospitalized?" asked Ling Yiran.Zhuo Qianyun shook her head. "No, I think he must have left Shen City. I hope he'll stop having such ridiculous ideas after this."Pausing for a moment, Zhuo Qianyun's face then showed a dejected expression. "I'm not afraid of his revenge. I'm afraid of getting involved with him."He had brought her too many injuries and too much pain! Even the sight of his face was painful to her!It seemed to be telling her how ridiculous her love for him was back then!"What are you going to do?" asked Ling Yiran. After all, no one knew what Ye Wenming would do next."Maybe I'll leave Shen City and move to another place where he can't find me," said Zhuo Qianyun.If they continued to stay in Shen City, Ye Wenming might discover Lil Yan if he ever came looking for her on a whim.This was the last straw!Ling Yiran was shocked, but she understood Zhuo Qianyun's decision. "If you leave Shen City, I'm afraid we won't see each o
Maybe she should be glad that even though she and Yi Jinli did not take any contraceptive measures when they were together, it was difficult for her to get pregnant because of her uterine trauma. Therefore... She did not have to worry about getting pregnant.At least, she would not have any children with Yi Jinli. Even if they broke up, they could do it without any doubts.However... She felt a faint regret.If she had children, it would mean she could have a family member who was related to her by blood.If she did not have children now, she would end up without a family.Perhaps it would be the same if she grew older and died alone.Ling Yiran smiled wryly. It was not until she met Lil Yan and saw his pretty, cute face that she felt a little better.Picking up Lil Yan, Ling Yiran kissed him several times and shared a slice of the cake she had specially bought for Lil Yan to make up for not having treated him to a cake on her birthday last time.The little one was excited to g
A familiar figure was sitting near the dining table in her rental house, and his bright eyes were looking at her.'Yi Jinli!'Why is he in my rental house?'Ling Yiran looked at Yi Jinli in shock. For a moment, she did not even know how to react.Yi Jinli pressed his thin lips tightly together before standing up. He walked toward her step by step. "What's the matter? Are you that surprised to see me?"'How could I not be surprised?' Ling Yiran thought bitterly.She thought that they would never meet again after breaking up, but she kept seeing him again and again these days.Seeing him would remind her of the pain of the breakup and... how he had saved her in Drunken Days as well as when she was drunk in his arms."Mr. Yi, what are you doing in my rental house?" She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down."Waiting for you,” he said out these three simple words.'Alright, with his ability, it's easy for him to get into this room. However... Waiting for me?' "Mr. Yi,
At the end of the day, she was only a game to him."That's my business!" His voice rang in her ears.'Yeah, it's his business. I'm not even in a position to ask.'"You'll leave if I give you the photo?" said Ling Yiran after taking a deep breath.He shuddered as his eyelashes quivered a little. A long time passed before he spat out the word, "Yes"."Fine, I'll give you the photo." She pushed him away, went to the cupboard, and dug out the photo album. Then, she took out the photo of her as a child in a floral dress from the album.She just wanted him to leave as quickly as possible. The longer he stayed in the small rented house, the more he would disturb her mind.She just wanted to stay away from him so that she could calm down and forget about him.Ling Yiran handed the photo to Yi Jinli.He reached out his hand to take the photo. He lowered his eyes and looked at the photo somewhat distractedly.Meanwhile, Ling Yiran looked at Yi Jinli's profile and could not help thinkin
