"Sure," she said and slowly closed her eyes. She felt his fingers gently rubbing and pressing on her head.
"However, Jin... Gu Lichen seems to really care about that person," muttered Ling Yiran. She used to think Gu Lichen was a playboy, but this man's insistence on looking for that one woman shook her up a bit.
He was looking for a little girl he had met when he was a child. If he met that girl when he was a child, how long had he been looking for that person? Ten years? 20 years?
Spending such a long time looking for a person… This was the kind of persistence many people did not have.
"He has been looking for so long. Do you think he'll ever find her?" asked Ling Yiran.
"Do you want him to find her?" he asked.
"I hope he does, so he won't mistake me for her anymore," she replied.
With her eyes closed, she did not see the gloom and calculation in Yi Jinli's eyes.
Mistake? No, Gu Lichen was not mistaken! However... He would make Gu Lichen think that he was mistaken! Yiran could only be his. He would not give up Yiran to anyone!
"Come to think of it, it's kind of sad that he has to look for substitutes." Ling Yiran slowly opened her eyes and looked at Yi Jinli. She said, "No matter how many substitutes he finds, what's the point if they're not the one he's looking for?"
Yi Jinli chuckled. "It's really sad. I hope Gu Lichen can find her soon."
...
Some children his age who started speaking earlier might not speak as well as he did. It was obvious that Lil Yan had a strong ability to absorb language and was very intelligent.
"You can also video call me. When you miss me, just video call me!" Ling Yiran said with a smile.
Just then, Ling Yiran's phone rang. It was a call from Yi Jinli. "I'll send someone to pick you up now. I'll be there in about 15 minutes."
"Sure," replied Ling Yiran. He had told her yesterday that he would let her pick out the wedding rings today, so she gave Zhuo Qianyun a heads-up about her working hours.
However, when the car that came to pick her up took her to the jewelry store where she was to meet Yi Jinli, Ling Yiran was shocked to see the diamond in front of her.
This was a diamond that had not been set yet, but she had seen this diamond before. She had seen it when she accompanied Xiao Ziqi to attend an auction abroad. The index of this diamond was top-notch, almost flawless. Its name was... Frozen Heart!
