"As long as you don't do anything illegal, why would I be disappointed?" she asked as she put on her socks and shoes again. Then, she got up and walked towards the small square table.He smiled and looked at her back. His eyes flashed and he whispered to himself, "Well, sister, I really hope you won't be disappointed in the future."—Since that night at the club, Ling Luoyin had been feeling anxious. After all, Assistant Director He's attitude that day had been really odd. And the next day, Assistant Director He had not shown up at work. After another day, the director had even been changed.As for the reason, no one in the film crew could seem to explain it. However, for some reason, Ling Luoyin felt that the change of the film's director had something to do with Assistant Director He. When she thought about it some more, she became afraid that it had something to do with Ling Yiran.Then, a few days later, when she heard Assistant Director He had been hospitalized and that his
Ling Guozhi, Fang Cuie, and Ling Luoyin looked at each other hesitantly.Fang Cuie was about to curse but was suddenly stopped by Ling Guozhi. "Come on. Perhaps the man was released from prison as well! There are all kinds of people in prison. Who knows why this man had been sentenced to jail?"Hearing this, Fang Cuie said awkwardly after a long while, "Then shall we just let it go?"Ling Guozhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait. If that Assistant Director He holds Luoyin accountable in the future, then we'll think of other ways." He didn't have the courage to come in and challenge the man now.Ling Luoyin frowned on the side. "Had the man just now really... really been in prison?" Although she could not see very clearly since the man's eyes were covered by his bangs, she could still notice that he was good-looking.Particularly for some reason, she felt that the man looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.Or was this man also a member of the
Back then in prison, Ling Yiran was alone. If Lianyi had not visited her frequently to encourage her and run around doing things for her, Ling Yiran might not have walked out of prison alive.It was Lianyi who had been giving her support over the past three tough years."The life-saving straw...?" Yi Jinli's eyes glittered. Qin Lianyi seemed to hold a special place in Ling Yiran's heart. Yi Jinli asked, "However, don't you find it funny to treat a person as a life-saving straw? What if the life-saving straw abandons you, won't you feel despair?""Lianyi would not do that," Ling Yiran replied confidently, showing her absolute trust in Qin Lianyi.Yi Jinli had no idea why he felt uneasy. He didn't like the idea of Ling Yiran trusting somebody else. She seemed willing to do anything for that person....Over the next few days, Ling Yiran's workload increased tremendously, as the management staff from Sanitation Service Center would be coming over for inspection. At times, she had to
"This model is good enough!" He cut her off. He lowered his head to take a serious look at the mobile phones.Suddenly, a voice was heard from behind them, saying, "Oh, Yiran!"Ling Yiran lifted her head and saw Miao Jiayu and another woman walking toward them. They were out shopping.When they came near, Ling Yiran saw that the other woman was her high school classmate, Zhao Mantian."What a coincidence seeing you here! Is that your boyfriend?" Miao Jiayu asked as she sized up Yi Jinli, who was standing beside Ling Yiran.When Zhao Mantian saw that Ling Yiran did not respond, she said, "Hey, Jiayu, don't spout nonsense. I heard that Yiran has a rich boyfriend. This guy doesn't dress like a rich guy.""What a cheap set of clothes!"After saying that, Zhao Mantian raised her brows. There was a look of disdain and mockery on her pretty face as she said, "Oh! Are you feeling awkward? I forgot that your boyfriend already has a new girlfriend and they will be getting engaged soon. Ov
That was slapping her in the face.Zhao Mantian felt angered and humiliated, and she immediately turned to leave the place with Miao Jiayu following her.Ling Yiran felt as if she were watching a show. The minute she stepped out of the bazaar, she saw a few people smashing a car that seemed to belong to Zhao Mantian."What happened? Has she offended someone and that person is taking revenge?" Ling Yiran asked."Who knows!" Yi Jinli replied as his eyes glittered, lips pursed."Anyway, it's none of our business." Ling Yiran took Yi Jinli's arm and walked to the bus stop.Suddenly, Yi Jinli stopped walking. Ling Yiran turned to look at him and saw that he looked pale. He looked shocked as he fixed his gaze on the bus stop."What happened?" Ling Yiran asked, looking worried."N-nothing," Yi Jinli replied when his expression resumed to normalcy. Earlier on... he had mistaken a woman who was getting on the bus for that woman.The woman who had deserted her husband and son couldn't h
"I'm keeping you company. I'll be sleeping on the floor beside the bed. You can see me when you tilt your head to the side," Ling Yiran said."This bed can hold two people. Sister, can you lie on the bed to keep me company?" Yi Jinli muttered. Even he was unaware of the longing look on his face.Ling Yiran bit her lips and hesitated for a while before nodding her head, saying, "All right." She lifted up the quilt on the floor and lay down beside him.She was astonished that she had agreed to sleep beside a man. He must have looked like a fragile glass doll that would break at any time, which was why she wanted to protect him.After she lay on the bed, she switched off the light, his left hand holding her right hand."Jin, if you feel terrible, call out for me," Ling Yiran said."I will," Yi Jinli replied. "Is it due to the medication?" He felt better; better than he did in any of his previous attacks."Could it be... her? Her hand is warm.""Sister, will you stay with me foreve
Ling Yiran's body froze. Whenever she heard the names of those two people, she felt as if she were having a nightmare!She knew about the six-carat diamond ring, as she had seen it in the news. Even if she had tried to avoid reading the news about the two of them, she would see mentions of it when she used her mobile phone to search for information.Back then, when she and Xiao Ziqi were in the jewelry shop, she had seen the pink diamond. Xiao Ziqi had told her, "Yiran, if you like it, I'll buy it for you as our marriage ring."However, Xiao Ziqi and the diamond ring did not belong to her."Yiran... are you going home?" A man's bashful voice resounded in Ling Yiran's ears.Ling Yiran lifted her head and saw a man of about 30 years old smiling shyly at her. He had short hair and wore the uniform of the fleet.Ling Yiran was taken aback. Suddenly, she recalled that he was Guo, from the Sanitation Service Center's fleet."Yes," Ling Yiran replied."I'm free. Let me send you home,"
Ling Yiran felt as if her fingertip was about to catch fire. It was very hot, and her heart was pounding violently."Oh no! What's happening to me?!"She withdrew her hand, her face blushing as she said, "All... all right. Let's tuck in lest the dishes get cold." After saying that, she lowered her head and started eating.Yi Jinli smiled when he saw that Ling Yiran's face was almost buried in the bowl. His smile deepened as he asked, "Do you like me, Sister?""I like you," Ling Yiran replied without hesitation."I like you too, Sister. I like you very much," Yi Jinli said as he curled his lips into a smile. It had been ages since he had last found someone who could interest him....After the inspection from the Urban Management Bureau ended, Miao Jiayu told Ling Yiran, "Yiran, we will be having a gathering with our high school classmates this weekend. Come and join us.""A gathering?" Ling Yiran laughed. Given her current condition, she would be mocked if she were to go to the
