Ling Yiran was woken up the next morning by her phone's alarm.Her head was a little dizzy, and there was a sore feeling in her neck. She raised her hand and subconsciously rubbed her neck. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she froze and quickly looked around her room.However, everything in the room was the same as usual. Even her pajamas were intact. There was nothing unusual.She seemed to have been kissed in her sleep yesterday, and then... she passed out!'I didn't see who it was, but the kiss felt like... it was Jin!'However, nothing seems to be unusual. Did I dream of him kissing me? Did I have such a dream because I haven’t forgotten about him?'Ling Yiran's eyes darkened, and she lifted her thin quilt before getting out of bed.'When will I be able to forget that man? I thought I’d finally have a family, but it turned out to be just a dream.'She could only start over when she forgot about him!Ling Yiran went into the bathroom, took her toothbrush and cup, and
"Thank you," said Zhuo Qianyun."Don't be a stranger, Sis Zhuo. If one day I'm in trouble, I think you'll help me too," Ling Yiran said with a smile."That's true." Zhuo Qianyun also smiled. "By the way, I'm planning to move to G City.""G City?" Ling Yiran was surprised. This city was not far from Shen City, but it was not near either. It was a three hours' drive.However, that city had beautiful landscapes. Although it was a tourist city, the cost of living was not high. It was about the same as the cost of living in third-tier cities in the country."When are you moving?" asked Ling Yiran."Probably in September. I need to find a place over there and find a kindergarten for Lil Yan. With the hearing aid on, Lil Yan is just like an ordinary kid and has no problem communicating with others. So I want to find an ordinary kindergarten for him. I wonder if there's any kindergarten that will accept him."Since her son was deaf, it was normal for him to go to special education kinde
The little one immediately fell lovingly into Ling Yiran's arms."By the way, would you like to go to the amusement park this Sunday?" asked Ling Yiran.The little one's eyes immediately lit up while his little head nodded vigorously."Why don't I take you to the amusement park this weekend?" asked Ling Yiran."Won't it be too much trouble for you?" asked Zhuo Qianyun."Not at all. I look forward to spending a day with Lil Yan at the amusement park!" said Ling Yiran. Besides, once Sis Zhuo and her family moved to G City, it would not be as convenient to see the little one then as it was now."Besides, you'll have to go to the hospital for a follow-up this weekend. Aunty will take you for the follow-up, and I'll take Lil Yan to the amusement park. It's just nice," said Ling Yiran."Then... thank you," Zhuo Qianyun said shyly."No trouble at all. Isn't it, Lil Yan?" asked Ling Yiran as she turned her face to the little one in her arms.What she got in return was a sweet kiss fro
Although he was nice to her, but... it always made her feel like something was missing.More importantly, after Zhuo Qianyun was imprisoned, she thought it would not be long before he married her.However, their wedding kept getting delayed, and this made her worry.Kong Ziyin bit her lip slightly and looked at the man in front of her as she asked, "If I want to marry you, would you... be willing?"She did not want to delay it any longer. After knowing that he had found Zhuo Qianyun in Shen City, she was even more worried.'He probably extended his stay in Shen City by a few more days for Zhuo Qianyun!'But he somehow came back early! Moreover, he’s always talking about getting even with Zhuo Qianyun.'What was going on now? Didn't he find Zhuo Qianyun? It doesn’t seem like anything has happened, though.’Even after he came back, he never mentioned Zhuo Qianyun again.What happened to him and Zhuo Qianyun in Shen City?Though Kong Ziyi was full of speculations, she dared not
She had not seen Guo Xinli in a few days, so she thought he had figured it out. However, she could feel it in the way he looked at her. He did not seem to have... given up."I happen to be busy today. I have to pick up a child. I promised him I'll take him to the amusement park today. About the clues you mentioned..." Ling Yiran was in a dilemma.After all, she did not want to change the deal she made with the little one. She did not want to see the little one disappointed, but it was work.Besides, the more clues they had, the higher the possibility of them getting compensation for Lil Li!After seeing Lil Li lying unconscious in the hospital bed, Ling Yiran sincerely wanted to help the young man and his family."Then I'll send you over to pick the child up and we can talk about the clues on our way there," said Guo Xinli.Ling Yiran thought about it. 'That works too.' Therefore, she got into Guo Xinli's car.On the way, Guo Xinli drove while telling her about the details that
Looking at Guo Xinli and the excited Lil Yan who were both beside her, Ling Yiran was too embarrassed to say no in front of the child. As such, she nodded her head and agreed.The three of them went to the amusement park together. On the way, Guo Xinli initiated a conversation with Lil Yan.Lil Yan was unexpectedly friendly to Guo Xinli, especially when Guo Xinli talked about the toys he played with when he was a child. Lil Yan's eyes sparkled, and he excitedly asked him about some toys from that era that he had never heard of.When they arrived at the amusement park, the three went to the ticket window to buy tickets.Lil Yan looked at a little girl sitting on her father's shoulder in another line next to them. She was looking left and right, enjoying herself.Ling Yiran noticed that Lil Yan had been looking at the little girl and her father for a long while now.She knew that Lil Yan was brought up by Zhuo Qianyun and Mrs. Zhuo. He only met his birth father, Ye Wenming, once. L
"You're a good catch. You could attract a lot of good women," said Ling Yiran who was already scarred when it came to love and relationships.Guo Xinli parked the car at the gate of the neighborhood where Lil Yan now lived. Then, he scratched his head shyly and said, "Maybe that's how falling in love is. I just want to give it a try."For a split second, Ling Yiran did not know what to say. 'Give it a try. Didn't I have the same idea with Yi Jinli?' When Yi Jinli wanted to keep her by his side and confessed to her, she gave it a try. Unfortunately, she lost anyway.After sending Lil Yan home, Guo Xinli sent Ling Yiran to the entrance of her apartment block."Yiran, you don't need to feel any pressure. Maybe... After a few years, if you still don't like me, I'll give up," he said.Ling Yiran could feel Guo Xinli's kindness. He probably said this because he did not want his feelings for her to become a burden.After saying goodbye to Guo Xinli, Ling Yiran got back to her rental h
"How did you get this..." she murmured.He smiled a little, and it was as beautiful as springtime in the mountains. However, the more beautiful the smile, the more daunting it was."Why shouldn't I have this?" he asked with amusement as if she had asked a silly question.Ling Yiran was stunned. 'That’s right. Since he can sit in my house and wait for me to return, getting hold of a video like this is naturally a breeze.'However... she did not even notice that someone was secretly filming her and Guo Xinli today.'Is this the only part of the video? Or had he been keeping watch of my entire trip to the amusement park with Guo Xinli and Lil Yan today?’Her scalp tingled at the thought."You know what? What you're doing now is a violation of human rights!" Ling Yiran criticized him.After all, no one wanted to live under surveillance, and she had already broken up with him. She had no idea why he would do that.Yi Jinli smirked as he stood up and approached Ling Yiran. "Is that
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
