Previously, on this day, Yi Jinli would not leave Yi residence even if it was at night. Not even if there was a big event. He would spend the night at his father's spirit tablet, telling himself not to repeat his father's mistakes.
This went on year after year.
However, tonight was different!
...
Ling Yiran was led out of the hospital by Yi Jinli.
A black car pulled up in front of the hospital. After getting into the car, Ling Yiran still felt like she was dreaming.
She thought tonight was going to be her nightmare, but she did not expect him to show up.
"Are you scared?" he asked as he put his hand over hers, which was still shaking even now.
Ling Yiran bit her lower lip and nodded her head. Yes, how could she not be afraid? It was as if her fate was completely in the hands of someone else, and all her struggles were so powerless.
It was as if someone else's word could determine her life and death.
"It's my fault," Yi Jinli said. "I didn't think the old man would touch you. I can't believe he’s more impatient than I thought and would even choose this day."
She was a little stunned. "What's special about… today?"
However, his face changed a little as she asked this question. He pursed his thin lips and his beautiful deep eyes were staring at her as if he was going to swallow her up.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became depressive.
At night, she lied in bed, tossing and turning for some reason. He was unable to sleep.
Yi Jinli walking toward the stairs haunted her mind. Where... was he going? Was he not going back to his room? She felt that he was a little different tonight than he usually was.
Sitting up, she looked hesitantly at the door between their rooms.
She just had to push open the door and she would know if he had gone back to his room, but...
Stop being curious! Curiosity killed the cat! There should not be any curiosity for a man like Yi Jinli!
She kept saying this to herself in her mind, but her hand could not help pushing open the door.
It was dark, and she looked around the room with the light from her room. Sure enough, there was no one there.
