He felt a sensation in his stomach that he could not even express!Just then, the car stopped in front of a hotel. Ye Wenming got out, and Zhuo Qianyun followed suit while holding Lil Yan's hand.The place Ye Wenming stayed was naturally the hotel's presidential suite.It was Lil Yan's first time in a presidential suite. Everything here was full of wonder to him. Even just looking at the 70-inch LCD TV screen, his eyes were wide with curiosity.However, after the initial feeling of novelty, the little one gradually became sleepy.He was supposed to nap after lunch, but he was so excited earlier about taking the high-speed train that he could not fall asleep. Now that they had gotten to the hotel, he immediately fell asleep like a log.Zhuo Qianyun looked at her son who was asleep in her arms and said to Ye Wenming, "Can Lil Yan sleep in this room? If there's anything you want to talk to me about, we'll talk about it in another room. I don't want him to hear things children his ag
He had made an oath to never let anyone from the Zhuo family hurt him! However, how did she hurt him so much with a few words?"We'll find out with a DNA test." Ye Wenming suppressed the pain in his heart without a trace."No. He's not yours!" Zhuo Qianyun said quickly."It's not up to you to decide whether he is. If he's my son, it's only natural for him to acknowledge his biological family and return to the Ye family!" Ye Wenming said coldly.Zhuo Qianyun immediately turned paler as a shrill "No!" escaped her mouth.Her voice was so piercing that Ye Wenming was a little stunned."He's a child you don't want. Why do you want him to return to the Ye family? No one in the Ye family ever expected him!" Zhuo Qianyun said angrily. Lil Yan was her everything!"My blood runs through him. I don’t intend to let my child stray," he said.She was suddenly silent as her thin body trembled. There was something desperate in her pale face.For a moment, his heart seemed to ache even more!
Ling Yiran received a phone call from Mrs. Zhuo. Mrs. Zhuo sounded distraught on the phone. "Yiran, well... Yun and Lil Yan were taken away by Ye Wenming. What… What do we do now? She told me not to worry, but the… The more I think about it, the more worried I am. She's no longer answering her phone!"Ling Yiran was stunned. "What happened? Are you guys still in Shen City?""Yeah, we were about to check-in, but Yun took Lil Yan to the washroom. I waited for them, but they never came, so I called and Yun said she’s with Ye Wenming..."Mrs. Zhuo was choking by now.Ling Yiran immediately comforted Mrs. Zhuo, saying, "Don't worry, Aunty. I'll figure something out and contact you later."Ling Yiran frowned once she hung up the phone. She thought things would be better for Sis Zhuo after she moved to G City.However, Ye Wenming took Sis Zhuo and Lil Yan away!'Where will he take them to? Are they out of the city? Or are they still in Shen City?'What do I have to do to find Sis Zhuo
The senior executive tried his best to finish the last sentence of his presentation before looking at Yi Jinli carefully, fearing that his presentation was not up to standard.The atmosphere in the conference room had become tense.Just then, a phone rang suddenly. Everyone in the conference room looked at the two phones lying in front of Yi Jinli.Senior executives of Yi Group knew that Young Master Yi had two phones. One was a high-end limited edition phone that cost more than 100,000 dollars while the other was a cheap phone you could find everywhere in the city.Young Master Yi was usually protective of the cheap phone even though it seemed to never ring.Now, it was the cheap phone ringing.All they saw was a sudden change in Young Master Yi's expression as he picked up the phone and answered it in front of everyone. Moments later, they heard Young Master Yi saying, "Are you begging me... Fine, send me their photos and their last known location. I'll have someone look into i
Ling Yiran pursed her lips and asked with a sigh, "Where is he?" "If you want to see Young Master Yi, you can come downstairs later. I'll take you to Young Master Yi," said Gao Congming.Ling Yiran was shocked and did not expect that Gao Congming was already downstairs. 'Did Yi Jinli… already expect this?'Did he already expect her to beg him to get them out after learning where Sis Zhuo and Lil Yan are, so he asked Gao Congming to wait downstairs beforehand?'Ling Yiran suddenly felt as though a net had caught her. She could not break free from it nor escape!"Alright, got it," said Ling Yiran before putting away her phone.When she returned to her desk, it was the end of the day. Her colleagues began to leave the office. Ling Yiran packed her things quickly and left the firm. As it was time to get off work, she did not have to ask for leave.When she was downstairs, she saw a grey car parked opposite the building. A second later, Gao Congming stepped out of it.Ling Yiran a
Ling Yiran was stunned. 'Booked?' In Shen City, even if those rich and powerful families wanted to book such a top restaurant, the restaurant would not agree.Only a handful of people in Shen City could actually do that.She did not understand why Yi Jinli would go to the trouble of booking the restaurant.When she followed Gao Congming to the third floor, there was only one table left in the large hall. Yi Jinli was sitting on one side of the table, looking through the menu in his hands.When he heard footsteps, he raised his head and looked in Ling Yiran's direction.His dark eyes shone brightly while his thin lips smiled brightly. This image of him seemed to imprint deeply into one’s heart, making it unforgettable.'Is that what they meant by an eternity in one glance?'Ling Yiran then took a deep breath and walked over to Yi Jinli. "Here I am. I’d like you to help me save Sis Zhuo and Lil Yan from Ye Wenming. Is that alright?"Yi Jinli gently smiled. "Sit down first."Ling
'What place do I occupy in her heart?'Is this uncomfortable feeling some kind of jealousy?'"Would you have come to me if something hadn't happened to her?" he asked as he stared at her.She was silent and said nothing, but her expression said it all.A tense atmosphere immediately filled the air.Fortunately, the restaurant staff began to serve their food.A series of exquisite dishes appeared on the dining table, and they looked like the food in posters.However, Ling Yiran had no desire to eat at all. All she could think about was Sis Zhuo and Lil Yan.'If Ye Wenming wanted to take Lil Yan away…' Ling Yiran thought about the last time Zhuo Qianyun was hospitalized with an injury.'Ye Wenming didn't even know Lil Yan existed. Sis Zhuo wanted nothing to do with Ye Wenming and even hurt herself. This time…'Ling Yiran could not imagine it."Eat." Yi Jinli's cold voice rang. His long fingers picked up the chopsticks in front of him before he placed some food into Ling Yiran'
He had said that she would one day beg to be his sister.Sure enough, everything he said came true!Taking a deep breath, she said, "I… I'll be your sister, so can you save Sis Zhuo and Lil Yan from Ye Wenming now? Then send someone to protect them, at least... Ye Wenming can't touch them that way!"It was her decision. If becoming Yi Jinli's sister was the only way to assure Sis Zhuo and Lil Yan's safety, then she was willing to do so.Sis Zhuo had given her a hand when she was in trouble while Lil Yan... was so pure that she could not help protecting him!"Sure." With a satisfied smile, he took out his phone, dialed Gao Congming's number, and gave him the orders. Then, he looked at Ling Yiran. "Is that alright?""How long will it take to know if Sis Zhuo and Lil Yan have left safely?" she asked."It shouldn't take long. Alright, let's eat, Sis," he said gently, smiling like how he used to.Ling Yiran shuddered and stiffly picked up her chopsticks to dig in.She ate the delic
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
