"If you have no further questions, then I'm going to leave," said Ling Yiran as she walked toward the conference room's door.However, before her hand touched the door handle, Gu Lichen grabbed her."Ling Yiran, do you have to shut me out like this?" There was a note of impatience in his voice that was usually calm.Gu Lichen felt a rare sense of anxiety, one that he could not even articulate.Ling Yiran stared at the handsome face in front of her. His delicate features reminded her of another miniature face.Back in the woods, the little boy with that face had once held her when she was exhausted from carrying him. "I'll be very nice to you. I'll buy you a lot of dresses. I'll take you to eat lots of delicious food. I'll protect you better than anyone else!"She did not take it very seriously at the time. After all, many children forgot what they said the next day.She then forgot about him and their shared memories after catching a fever.She was not aware that he had been lo
Her face would surface in his mind from time to time. Even at night, he would dream of when he met her on the hill, carrying her on his back.It was as if he was carrying that little girl on his back."Are you sure you don't love Yi Jinli anymore?" he murmured.She smiled faintly, but it was somewhat absentminded. "Does it matter whether I love him?"Yi Jinli had told her not to fall in love with Gu Lichen.Now, Gu Lichen was asking if she did not love Yi Jinli anymore.‘All they want are results. They never care about what I want! All I want is peace!’Gu Lichen stared at Ling Yiran, her smile and voice like invisible blades that pierced his heart!…Ling Yiran was exhausted when she got off work. After all, too many things happened today. However, when she reached her neighborhood, she saw a familiar black car parked near her house. It had already attracted some people's attention.The Yi family's driver jogged up to Ling Yiran and said, "Miss Ling, Young Master Yi's waitin
"Of course, I care about you," he said."He came to see me, but he said nothing," she said as she bit her lip. She felt as if he knew everything about her. 'Is he spying on me?'"Really?" Yi Jinli whispered as he approached Ling Yiran, "I'm curious though. Why didn't you tell him that you were the one who saved him?"She immediately stiffened even more.He raised his hand and touched her lips with his fingertips. His elegant voice once again rang like a melodious violin. "Tell me why."Ling Yiran suddenly found her nose a little sore.'Why... Is he asking me this? Does he know that it's because I love him so even though I remember it all now, I still chose to bury those memories?'Even when Sis Lifang took her place, she did not utter a word.She did not want to upset him, so she severed all ties with Gu Lichen.She ridiculously thought she had given him enough security. She never thought that she was not as important as she thought she was. In the end, it turned out that she
Yi Jinli regretted asking Ling Yiran to come over and cook dinner."Keep your hand under the cold water. I'll handle the soup," he said."You?" She was a little surprised."What's the matter?" He went to the pot, lifted the lid, and looked at the soup. Then, he added a little seasoning before taking a little soup with a spoon and tasting it. Moments later, he turned off the stove.His movements looked elegant and natural. Ling Yiran felt like she was watching a cooking show.However, Yi Jinli kept looking at her from time to time as he prepared the soup as if to see whether she was keeping her hand under the running cold water from the tap.After running cold water over her hand for about ten minutes, the burn on Ling Yiran's fingers was finally relieved.It was still a little red, but it was not a big deal."It's still a little red," said Yi Jinli, frowning."It should be okay in a couple of days," said Ling Yiran.She had just finished speaking when he put her fingertips in
He had almost lost control just now. As he was licking and kissing her fingers earlier, his lust only grew stronger and stronger. 'Almost... Almost… I almost had my way with her in the kitchen!'Even if he had decided not to love her, even if they were now broken up, and even if he only called her Sis now, her influence over him was as strong as ever.She had only looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes and it was enough for him to lose his soul. At that sight, all reason was thrown out the window."Tell me. How can I not love you..." His mutters rang in the silent bedroom.'I thought it was hard to love a person, but I fell in love with her so easily.'I thought it was easy not to love someone, but... It's so hard…'"Yiran... Yiran..." His hoarse voice cried out her name again and again as if it was the only name he knew…...When Ling Yiran went to work the next day, everyone in the firm looked at her differently.Many people came up to Ling Yiran to ask about her relation
Ling Yiran was a little relieved. If Mrs. Zhuo had gone out for groceries, she should not be too far away from home and would probably be back soon.Therefore, Ling Yiran asked more about the situation and said, "Lil Yan, listen here. Help your mother loosen her collar and put a pillow under her feet to raise it a little. I'll call the ambulance now. If your grandma comes back later, tell her what happened, alright?""Yes, got it," answered Lil Yan.Ling Yiran then called the emergency services and gave them Zhuo Qianyun's current address after explaining what happened.15 minutes later, Mrs. Zhuo called, saying that the ambulance had arrived. The paramedic checked and said that Zhuo Qianyun’s condition should not be too serious, but just in case, they were sending her to the hospital for a check-up.Ling Yiran was finally a little relieved. After asking which hospital the ambulance was going to, she hurried to the hospital after work and saw Zhuo Qianyun on the hospital bed.Aft
"Of course, I'll help you out," said Ling Yiran. At the very least, she could save Sis Zhuo some money, but... "However, I'm not sure that I'll win the case. After all, there are many unfavorable factors so far," Ling Yiran said truthfully."I understand, I understand." Zhuo Qianyun repeatedly said. These unfavorable factors were part of the past she could not change. She was just grateful enough that Yiran could help her with this lawsuit! "Thank you, Yiran.""By the way, are you staying in Shen City for now? Have you confirmed Lil Yan's kindergarten?" Ling Yiran was reminded of this. After all, as far as she knew, Lil Yan was looking forward to going to kindergarten."Not yet." Zhuo Qianyun's joy turned to worry. She had been trying to enroll her son in many ordinary private kindergartens. However, once they learned that he was deaf, they refused even though she repeatedly insisted that he wore a hearing aid and could communicate perfectly.Ling Yiran mused about it. "I'll see wh
"The child's mother is Zhuo Qianyun." His deep baritone voice uttered the last thing Kong Ziyin wanted to hear.'A child! Zhuo Qianyun has Wenming's child and it’s a son too! Therefore... Zhuo Qianyun didn't lie when she said she was pregnant? It wasn't a lie to get out of jail?'Kong Ziyin was filled with resentment at the thought of this. If she had known, she would have done something to get rid of the child when Zhuo Qianyun was in prison.However, her face hid the hatred and jealousy she was feeling. "She gave birth to your child?""Sorry," Ye Wenming said apologetically."There's nothing to be sorry about. It's... It's not like I can conceive. At least you have a child to carry on your bloodline," Kong Ziyin lowered her eyes gently and said in a choked voice, "Wenming, since you have a child with her, will you be with her... I… I would understand if this is your decision…"Kong Ziyin seemed to have reached a breaking point and stopped speaking.Ye Wenming raised his hand a
