...
After Ling Yiran returned to Yi Residence, she changed her clothes in the bedroom. She was planning to pick up her two little ones from kindergarten afterward. Just then, Yi Jinli came back.
"Why are you home so early?" Ling Yiran asked in surprise as she put on her shirt.
"There's nothing much going on in the office today, so I came home early," Yi Jinli said as he approached her and raised his hand to button her shirt for her. "Let me do it for you."
She blushed a little. She was wearing nothing but her bra underneath her shirt. Although he often helped her wear her clothes these days, she still could not help blushing.
He looked at her flushed face with fascination. She was blushing because of him.
His long fingers buttoned her shirt button by button while his voice rang nonchalantly. "Where did you go today?”
Ling Yiran said, "I went to the hospital. I went to see Xiao Ziqi's mother, who's hospitalized. She has kidney disease and owes more than 20,000 dollars in medical bills. She also needs 100,000 dollars for follow-up treatment. So I deposited money into Xiao Ziqi's mother's medical insurance account."
"Really?" Yi Jinli gently looked down, his hands never stopping what they were doing.
"Sorry, I should have mentioned this to you first, but I didn't decide to pay for her medical bills until I went to the hospital," said Ling Yiran. She had only made up her mind after meeting Mrs. Xiao.
If it turned out Mrs. Xiao hated her with all her heart, she might not have paid for her medical bills. However, Mrs. Xiao had begged for her children.
"What's the matter?" she asked in confusion.
He muttered, "I’m just thinking how great it’d be if I were the one who saved you that day. If I had been by your side that day, I would’ve spared no effort to save you. I wouldn't have let you suffer any harm."
A scene instantly recurred to Ling Yiran. They were at the seaside, and he had crouched down with his fingers pressing on something. He looked up at her with a wary expression and said, "Yiran, don't be afraid. You'll be fine. I won't let anything happen to you."
The scene soon faded, and those words seemed to be the only thing she could hear at this moment.
'What's going on here? What did I just see? Seaside? Is this the memory of me falling into the sea? Oh yes. Gao Congming once mentioned that Jin had pushed the button of the device set up by Old Master Yi with the intention to sacrifice himself to save me!'
