Ning Ranxue clenched her teeth in hatred. She could have fooled Lichen if it were not for Zhong Keke."I'm free to like Lichen, Miss Zhong. You have no right to interfere," said Ning Ranxue."It's your freedom to like someone. But there’ll be a problem with your integrity if you destroy people's relationships! Miss Ning, if you're here to steal my boyfriend, I have to say that I don’t welcome you here. Please leave!" Zhong Keke said unceremoniously.Ning Ranxue choked. Her face with delicate makeup was almost distorted."Didn't you hear her?" Gu Lichen turned to look at Ning Ranxue. "You’re not welcome here. Besides, I already told you it's never going to happen between us! If you don't want to work abroad, you can resign. Gu Group doesn't support idle people!"Ning Ranxue pressed her red lips tightly. She could tell Gu Lichen was angry. "I... I’ll leave. Lichen, don't be mad at me. I know it's my fault. I'm sorry I upset Miss Zhong."She solemnly said to Zhong Keke, "Miss Zhong,

Gu Lichen's eyes glimmered as he muttered, "Yeah, I missed out on Yiran. At least I didn't miss out on you."Maybe God pitied him and let him meet her."Keke, I don't know how long it’ll take me to fall in love with you. But... even if I only like you and you still want to stay with me, we'll get married. I will make you my wife." His elegant voice said.She was stunned!"Get married? You... want to marry me?""Yes, I'll make you my wife if you're willing." As long as she did not mind that he could not love her, he would give her everything he could afford!...'Is this a proposal?' Zhong Keke was still thinking about the question in a daze after Gu Lichen left the studio.'Or is he trying to make things up to me because he doesn't have the confidence to fall for me? But will anyone sacrifice the rest of their life to make things up to others?’ Zhong Keke was confused.Fortunately, her two assistants were not in the studio today. Otherwise, today's incident would not have esca

"Really? You'd better hurry up, or else I don't know if I'll last till your wedding," Zhong Qishan said emotionally."Don't talk like that. Didn't the doctor say you can be cured if you continue to receive treatments?" Sun Cuimei said."But the treatment costs so much money. Let's forget it. Our family has so little money. It's better to leave what we have to you. I only hate myself for being incompetent and not earning much. I failed to give you a good life and caused Keke to suffer with us." Zhong Qishan gave a long sigh."Keke, persuade your uncle to get treatment," Sun Cuimei shouted to Zhong Keke."Is Uncle sick?" Zhong Keke asked."Yeah, Dad has been diagnosed with kidney disease. The doctor said he must be treated in time. If he delays his treatment, he'll probably need a new kidney to survive. But if he goes through treatment, he'll need imported medication for better results. But imported medication is expensive. One treatment plan costs half a million dollars. Our family

With that said, he wanted to lead her into the mansion when she suddenly lunged forward and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face deep in his arms.Gu Lichen stiffened as he looked at her with surprise."Don't... push me away. Just let me hold you for a while, okay? I want to hold you like this right now." Her voice was hoarse and choking."Did something happen?" he asked. The air around him seemed gloomy.She said nothing, but the arms holding him tightened slightly, and their bodies grew closer.Gu Lichen did not ask any more questions. He raised one arm and put it around her waist while the other caressed her hair.The two quietly hugged each other like two people needing comfort.Zhong Keke's face pressed on Gu Lichen's chest. All she could smell was his scent. It was as if holding him like this would make her feel safe and warm.When she was in university, she had told herself to be strong because all she could depend on was herself.However, she could not h

Zhong Haocheng said righteously. Zhong Haocheng even tried to push Zhou Xinmian away at the end of his speech.Zhou Xinmian tried hard to stop him. Zhong Keke was afraid that her best friend would get hurt, so she rushed to help her. As soon as she came forward, Zhong Haocheng slapped Zhong Keke in the face.There was a loud slap.Zhong Haocheng slapped so hard that Zhong Keke felt her ears buzzing and her cheek burning.Zhou Xinmian immediately scolded Zhong Haocheng, "How could you slap her? You've gone too far!"Zhong Haocheng said confidently, "She's heartless. Of course, I can slap her! I’ll still slap her even if you call the police. Don't you guys agree? Don't people like her deserve to be slapped?"Several voices in the crowd said, "Yeah!""Heartless ingrates deserve to be slapped!""How dare she works as a comic artist? The works of people like her should be banned."It was uncertain who started it, but someone began throwing things at Zhong Keke.Zhou Xinmian protec
