Ling Yiran was shocked, but then she found that it was Yi Jinli who was holding her in his arms."What... What are you doing here?" As soon as Ling Yiran said it, she realized that she had asked a silly question. She came to the police station with the two bodyguards he had sent to watch over her. They must have reported what happened to him."You don't want to see me?" Yi Jinli raised his hand and immediately brushed it across the spot where Gu Lichen had touched her just now as if to cover Gu Lichen's trace.As Ling Yiran stiffened, Yi Jinli raised his eyes and looked at Gu Lichen. "I told you, you can't touch her!"Gu Lichen frowned slightly and raised his phoenix eyes slowly. "I must have her!"This simple sentence was a sign of his determination."Impossible!" Yi Jinli said coldly.Gu Lichen's thin lips parted slowly. "It may have been impossible before, but since you’ve broken up with her, then why is it impossible?"Looking at Ling Yiran, Gu Lichen said, "You don't need
'However, is it possible?'Could this man be… Yi Jinli?'Is Young Master Yi, the man who rules Shen City and who many are intimidated by, the 'younger brother' Yiran mentioned?'However... I remember reading a magazine stating Yi Jinli is the only child of the Yi family. He doesn't have any brothers or sisters.'What's more, the way Yi Jinli looked at Yiran and what he said to Gu Lichen just now was nothing a brother would do or say. Instead... It looks more like he’s a man who loves Yiran deeply!'Are Yi Jinli and Gu Lichen, the two men at the top of Shen City, fighting over... Yiran?'Guo Xinli felt that his brain was a little inadequate to process this.Hua Lifang finally came over to Gu Lichen. She bit her lip and asked piteously, "Lichen, have… Have you fallen in love with Yiran?""Yes," Gu Lichen replied lightly. He knew about the feelings Hua Lifang had for him, but he just did not feel that way about her.He could treat her as his savior but not a lover. Just like how
"Lifang, I think we shouldn't be too intimate with each other to avoid unnecessary speculation from outsiders," said Gu Lichen.Before this, he had still been unsure about what he wanted, so he allowed Lifang to mislead people into thinking she was his girlfriend.Even though he knew what she was up to, he did not say anything. After all, she was his savior, and he would not mind if she wanted to use him to make a name for herself.However… It was different now!Since he now realized he loved Ling Yiran, he did not want Yiran to misunderstand him.Hua Lifang's face turned a little pale hearing that. She sulkily lowered her head and said, "In that case... I... I'll pay attention to that."Her voice sounded a little pathetic. However, with her head lowered, her eyes were full of resentment. Her hands were slowly clutching her skirt.'It's all because of Ling Yiran!'Now, Lichen is already distancing himself from me because of Ling Yiran! Not to mention the future!'If Ling Yiran
'Warm his hands…' Ling Yiran felt a rush of sadness. 'It was great back then. It was so great when I thought I had a family.'However, the better it was, the crueler it seemed.He leaned toward her. The face that could turn a woman on so easily got closer to her. "Or is it because of Gu Lichen? Since he has confessed to you, now you can’t stand my touch?”His warm breath sprayed on her face as he spoke. His beautiful peach-blossom eyes were cold."It has nothing to do with Gu Lichen," said Ling Yiran."Really?" His eyes sparkled a little. "In that case, you don't love Gu Lichen either?""Does it matter whether I love him or not? Besides, we're not a couple. We're just brother and sister. So what even if I do fall for him?" She could not restrain herself and the words just blurted out.His expression changed immediately, and the atmosphere in the car took a dip.Ling Yiran only felt breathless. Yi Jinli's face slowly approached her cheek, rubbing it gently.His voice was like a
"Yi Jinli, when is this going to end?" she asked in a whisper.His hands paused for a moment. Then, he looked up at her and smiled like how he had smiled at her back in their rental house."Sis, there will never be an end between you and me!" he said.He would never allow her to end their relationship!…So much had happened that Ling Yiran could not sleep. When she arrived at the law firm the next day, Lawyer Gu looked at Ling Yiran and asked, "Were you alright yesterday? Are you sure you're not hurt?"She had called him yesterday when their call was suddenly cut off in the middle. When he dialed back, he could not get through, which made him worried for a while. He nearly called the police.Fortunately, she called him later and told him what had happened. He was relieved to hear from her.Ling Yiran said, "I'm fine. I'll check out the results of the police investigation later."Lawyer Gu said, "It's alright. I went to the police station this morning. The man who attacked you
Therefore, even if she had a license to practice law, she would probably be out of business if she were to attempt being a lawyer again.Lawyer Gu said, "It's great that you're taking it easy. I'll let you handle some small cases if there are any. You can build a reputation first. It'll be useful for your future.""Thank you," said Ling Yiran.After coming out of Lawyer Gu's office, the receptionist informed Ling Yiran that a Mr. Guo had been waiting for her.Ling Yiran went to the reception room and saw Guo Xinli.Guo Xinli was immediately at a loss at the sight of Ling Yiran. His face grew red as if he wanted to say something but did not know what exactly to say."What's the matter? You might as well just tell me whatever you want," said Ling Yiran."I... I came here today because I heard that there's hope for Lil Li's case. It seems that Su Xi is going to be added as the defendant! I heard from Lil Li's parents that Lawyer Gu called and told them it's all because you found th
That was because he had other things he cared about!However, Gu Lichen was willing to do it!He was willing to do such an extreme thing for Ling Yiran. It was as if all he cared about was Ling Yiran!Guo Xinli had left, but Ling Yiran was just dumbfoundedly standing where she was. What Guo Xinli had just said echoed in her mind.'Gu Lichen almost killed Su Xi for me?'How is that possible? He always cared about me because he thought I was the one he was looking for.'Now that he has Sis Lifang by his side, why would he…'The scene at the police station yesterday once again recurred to her. He said he loved her with a serious expression.Just like how he said that he would find her and be good to her with the same serious expression when he was a child.His serious look seemed to have never changed after so many years...…As Ling Yiran was leaving the building after work, Gu Lichen stopped her."Why don't we have dinner together? After all, we had a lot going on yesterday,
At the diner, several women looked sideways at Gu Lichen. Ling Yiran now regretted bringing him there.Maybe they should have gone to a restaurant with a private room.After ordering a few dishes, Ling Yiran looked at Gu Lichen. "I heard you helped search for me after I disappeared yesterday. Thank you.""Well, I didn't help much, did I?" Gu Lichen smiled faintly."Thank you anyway. However..." Ling Yiran paused and looked at the person in front of her seriously. "Yesterday, you said you would wait for my answer. I can give you an answer now. I don't love you, so you don't need to waste your time on me."Gu Lichen raised his eyebrows slightly. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had been rejected by a woman!Whether he had mistaken her for someone else in the past, or now when he had fallen in love with her."Are you rejecting me because of Jinli?" he asked nonchalantly, looking as if her refusal had not affected him."No," she said as she shook her head.Even if Yi
