Ling Yiran pursed her lips, finding Xiao Ziqi ridiculous. She started to walk away from him.Xiao Ziqi was angry as he felt that Ling Yiran had not only turned down his goodwill, but that she despised him. He said, "Ling Yiran, what do you mean by this? I'm already taking a risk by offering to help you!""Did anyone ever ask you to take the risk?" Ling Yiran asked flatly. She continued, saying, "Moreover, aren't you afraid that Miss Hao will get to hear about this?"At that instant, a voice was heard saying, "What is it that you're keeping from me?"Xiao Ziqi froze. He released his grip on Ling Yiran's arm immediately and turned to look at Hao Yimeng, who was walking toward him, then said, "Oh, it's nothing."When Hao Yimeng heard Xiao Ziqi's reply, she went up to him, putting her hand around his arm and saying, "Ziqi, why did you talk to this kind of person? Aren't you afraid that Yi Jinli will get to know about it? You know jolly well that my sister is the only woman that Yi Jin
"The management has passed down instructions that we're not to approve any write-up about Ling Yiran," the editor replied.Li Xinzheng asked in amazement, "Is the Xiao family behind this?" It didn't make any sense to him. When he had written about Hao Yimeng earlier on, the editor had approved his news. However, he was not allowed to write anything about Ling Yiran!"It's not the Xiao family. That's enough, don't ask any more questions. In any case, if this piece of news gets released, not only will you lose your job as a reporter, but I will be sacked as well," the editor said.Li Xinzheng widened his eyes in amazement. What the editor had said... seemed too much of an exaggeration."Ling Yiran... is merely a sanitation worker. Who would want to protect her?""You're too young. In this world, there are many things beyond your imagination," the editor replied with a sigh. He was also puzzled about why Young Master Yi was out to protect Ling Yiran.—Meanwhile, as Yi Jinli watche
And yet the pair of eyes behind his bang were abnormally clear as if it was only a simple question to him."Uh... Jin seems very innocent. He probably doesn't mean anything by the question."Ling Yiran thought to herself, then she cleared her throat and said, "I can like my younger brother but it isn't love. It's two different feelings. I thought loving someone was forever and irreplaceable. I even... thought that lovers could live and die together."His dark eyes narrowed instantly. "Live and die together? Strangely, when I heard her answer, the first thought that struck me was that... it sounds pretty good to live and die with her."So does that mean I've fallen in love with her?"How could that be?" He laughed as the idea crossed his mind."I must I admit, I have feelings for her. I'm sentimentally attached to her and I care for her. It seems as if I've unconsciously started to be obsessed with the feeling of being next to her. If not, I wouldn't have played this game for so l
Just then, Fang Qianqian walked over, looking at Ling Yiran in contempt and said, “Sister Xu, why are you talking to her? She’s been to jail! She’s taken a human’s life!”"Qianqian, we're all colleagues. Why do you have to say that? Besides, Yiran went to jail because she wasn't driving carefully..."Sister Xu had barely finished speaking when Fang Qianqian interrupted her. "But the person she killed was Hao Meiyu. Sister Xu, do you know who Hao Meiyu is? She's Hao Yimeng's sister! I was wondering why Hao Yimeng wanted so many of our colleagues to look for a non-existent ring. It was because she was targeting Ling Yiran and we were all dragged into it.""But didn't she also apologize and compensate us?" Sister Xu asked.Fang Qianqian's expression was unpleasant and she was clearly not pleased with Sister Xu standing up for Ling Yiran. She had been the one who had leaked the news of Ling Yiran's imprisonment.She had accidentally come across Ling Yiran speaking to Xiao Ziqi and Hao
—Ling Yiran returned to the rental apartment at night. Just as she was having dinner with Yi Jinli, someone knocked at the door.Ling Yiran was startled. "I never usually have visitors. Could it be that my father, stepmother, and sister are here?!"But when she opened the door, she was surprised to see Guo Xinli standing outside.Guo Xinli was wearing a black cotton shirt and his face was slightly red. He looked at Ling Yiran and spoke rather uneasily, "I..." He had barely opened his mouth when he noticed Yi Jinli, who had walked over to stand behind Ling Yiran, and he stopped suddenly as if he was hesitating.Yi Jinli studied the man standing outside the house. "I remember this man. He's Ling Yiran's colleague from the Sanitation Service Center and he seems to have feelings for her.""Why are you here? Are you looking for Sister?" Yi Jinli asked."I... I have some business to discuss with Yiran privately," Guo Xinli said with a flushed face, then he glanced at Ling Yiran and a
"Sister, do you like that man because he said those things?" he murmured and asked. There was a hint of jealousy in his eyes that even he was unaware of.His scent permeated her senses and the close distance made her at a loss over what to do. An instinctual sense of crisis was emerging within her. "It feels like if I give the wrong answer, in the next moment a ferocious beast will violently pounce on me and snap my neck."Oh God, what am I thinking?!"Ling Yiran laughed at herself internally at the idea that had just crossed her mind. "The person before me is Jin. He's not some dangerous character.""I don't like Guo Xinli," she replied. "I can only apologize to him for his feelings for me."Her reply improved his mood immediately. He stared at her and asked, "Sister, do you really not like that man?""Why would I lie to you?" she retorted. "Ever since I got out of jail, I've never even considered the idea of falling in love with someone. Love is a feeling that is too burdensome
"Even in the past, it was already such a difficult task being able to find a job to provide for myself.""But you can't waste your years doing this job. How can you find a good husband like this?!" The biggest concern for people like Sister Xu was marriage. "Guo doesn't seem to mind your past. Are you sure you don't want to consider it? Honest men like Guo are rare nowadays.""No, it's impossible for me and him," Ling Yiran replied.Sister Xu hesitated before asking, "Yiran, do you think that Guo is of a lower class because he's just a driver? After all, your ex-boyfriend was...""Sister Xu!" Ling Yiran interrupted her and said, "I don't think that. It's just... I've been through so much, I'm not in the mood to fall in love.""Oh, you child!" Sister Xu let out a sigh. "You should know that if you really don't marry and stay by yourself, you might not feel it that much now, but when you're old with no children around you... it's going to be a kind of loneliness that no one can endu
Back then, he had just gotten off work and had noticed her squatting by the roadside. She had been continuously comforting a young girl who was bawling. She had sung and jumped, making all sorts of funny poses as if she did not care at all about the strange glances coming from the surrounding crowd.Ultimately, she had succeeded and the young girl had stopped crying.Then, she had bought a bun for the little girl to eat on the spot. She called the police and waited there, intending to see if the little girl's family would come looking for her.In the end, the police and the little girl's family had come over. The girl's parents had taken out several hundred yuan and wanted to stuff them into her hands as a symbol of their appreciation, but she had just shaken her head with a laugh, not accepting a single penny from them.When the parents had left with the little girl in their arms, she had stood studying the backs of the family with a content smile.At that time, Guo Xinli had fel
