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
She looked at him in astonishment. "Are you moving here?""Is there something wrong? Didn't we live together before?" he asked, half amused.'How could it be the same?' Ling Yiran pressed her thin lips together. For a moment, she did not know how to answer."Or is that you just don't want to live with me, Sis?" he asked as he lowered his face close to her cheek.His breath was on her face. His face that was a masterpiece by God was so close to her that she could make out his eyelashes and their fluttering.Subconsciously, she wanted to turn away to avoid his eyes.However, the next moment, his fingers grabbed her chin to force her to look at him."What's the matter? Is it difficult to answer?" His voice was cold, and his black eyes stared at her with a keen light that seemed to see through her. "Are you regretting it? Are you regretting that you agreed for Zhuo Qianyun?""I… won't regret it. It's just that I can't get used to the changes... as quickly as you can. Yi Jinli, I wa
Zhuo Qianyun had heard Ling Yiran talk about how she and Yi Jinli met, so she somewhat knew about it.Back then, she was lamenting how fate miraculously put two irrelevant people together.However, now she wondered whether such fate was actually doom."You needn't suffer for my sake!" Zhuo Qianyun said, full of guilt."It's not all about you. Sis Zhuo, you don't have to feel guilty. Yi Jinli has already made up his mind to make me his sister again anyway. Even if it wasn't because of you, something else would’ve come up," said Ling Yiran. As long as Yi Jinli decided on something, he would do it somehow.Even if she could refuse him once or twice, how many times could she get away with it? Maybe her refusal was just a part of his game, making it more challenging."However..." Zhuo Qianyun seemed to want to say more."Sis Zhuo, at least you and Lil Yan can now stay in Shen City without any worries. I'm a former convict who has gotten my name cleared. While I'm only a small paral
"If that's the case, I'll help you out. Anyway, be prepared for it, but don't be too pessimistic," said Ling Yiran."Thank you, Yiran," Zhuo Qianyun said gratefully.If it were not for Yiran, she would have no idea what to do and might not even be able to get away from Ye Wenming until now!Ling Yiran left Zhuo Qianyun with a heavy heart.She did not tell Zhuo Qianyun that Ye Wenming would have a good chance of winning if he were to fight for custody.After all, Zhuo Qianyun led an unstable life and was an ex-convict while Ye Wenming was a famous entrepreneur in S city. He did not seem to have any tainted history and was reputable. He could provide the child a good life.Now, there were also rumors that Ye Wenming and Kong Ziyin were going to get married.A normal family was far more advantageous than a single-parent family. All these would put Zhuo Qianyun at a disadvantage.'What can I do to help Sis Zhuo solve her current predicament?'Ling Yiran was worried, and before she
Yi Jinli's eye darkened immediately.'Contradict each other... Yeah, they do contradict each other!' He was afraid that he would love her too much that he would one day repeat his father's mistake of losing his dignity and life for love. He could not let her control his emotions!However, after breaking up with her, he could not help wanting to see her and ended up forcing her to stay by his side."You know what? The only person in the world who can make me contradict myself is you!" His thin lips parted as he stared at her intently.Ling Yiran was stunned as she stared at Yi Jinli in confusion. 'What does he mean by that?'The way he looked at her seemed to be a combination of extreme desire and restraint. It was extremely contradictory!...The next day when Ling Yiran got off work and was walking out of the building, the Yi family's driver came up to her. "Mr. Yi wants to see you, Miss Ling."Ling Yiran pressed her lips together before following the driver into the car witho
Yi Jinli was topless with a towel around his waist. His hair was wet and dripping with water.Seeing Ling Yiran in the room, he smiled. "You're here.""Yes." She looked away uncomfortably."What's the matter? Are you embarrassed?" He came up to her. "Aren't you going to help me dry my hair? I remember the first time you took me to your rental house that you offered to dry my hair when I came out of the shower, Sis.""You're a little too tall for me to dry your hair. Why don't you—"Before she could finish, he bent down. "Can you do it now?"His sudden approach startled her, and when she turned her head, her eyes met his.His eyes seemed to have some kind of magic that one could not help looking at.Then, he put a dry towel in her hands. "I like it when you help me to dry my hair."Ling Yiran held the towel almost stiffly. She put it over his head and began drying his wet hair.The towel managed to block his eyes, giving her a sense of relief.Not only did she help him dry hi
"Really?" muttered Yi Jinli. The scissors were completely in his hand in the blink of an eye.He looked down at the scissors in his hand, and there was a coldness on his expression. For a moment, he felt the urge to give her his life even if she did want it!'How did that happen?'I never intended to give any woman my life. Only I can decide whether I should live or die, right? Isn't that what I was afraid of when I broke up with her?'Why do I still have such an idea even after we’ve broken up?'"Yi Jinli, I've never thought about killing you." His silence made her misunderstand. "Even if we’ve broken up, it was sad and painful at the beginning, but it's all over now. I won't kill someone just because we broke up."He furrowed his brows. She was only explaining herself, but why did it hurt him when he heard her say that it was all over?"You've never thought about killing me?" He turned his head to look at her."Yes," she said."You don't want me to die, then?" he asked, his
Ling Yiran was rendered speechless. 'What does that mean? Am I a mascot?' Shaking her head, Ling Yiran threw the jumbled thoughts out of her head and refocused on the case files in her hands.Lil Li's trial was about to begin in a few days. According to the defendant's attitude, it was clear that she wanted to put it off and not pay them any compensation.A year behind bars could wipe out millions in damages which was a bargain for the defendant.Although she was now 70 or 80 percent sure that the real culprit was the actress Su Xi, the evidence she had was not strong enough!'Maybe... by revisiting the route the car took or the crime scene, I might find something useful,' Ling Yiran thought to herself. After all, it was all she could do now.Otherwise, when the case did come to trial, even if they won, Lil Li and his family would not receive any compensation."What are you looking at? Why are you so focused?" Yi Jinli's voice suddenly rang in her ears.Ling Yiran suddenly reali
