'No! No way!
'I'll take Ling Yiran's place completely one day. I'll be the one to stand beside him and have the last laugh!'
…
Ling Yiran took the bus and went back to her rental house. Her legs were so sore that she could hardly lift them. She took out two band-aids from her first aid kit and applied them on her knees.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the heat in her knee and the easing pain.
Tonight had been like a battle for her. She was exhausted, and her back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
It seemed that even if it was already summer, her joints could not endure the cold air-conditioning for too long.
The encounter with Gu Lichen and Hua Lifang this evening was a surprise. When Gu Lichen grabbed her by the arm and asked about Yi Jinli right before she left, she felt a pang in her heart again.
'If it was back in the old days, Jin would probably have accompanied me if I was going to a place like a nightclub.'
Yu Kaihao would not have the guts to keep her standing for so long.
'If my knee was hurting, Jin would hold me carefully and rub my knee.
'It's just that... All of this no longer exists!'
The sweeter and intimate they once were, the more it set off the cruelty now!
'My Jin is gone!'
Ling Yiran thought she was done with the nightclub incident. However, the next day after work, she saw Gu Lichen waiting at the door of her rental house.
Instead of asking Jinli, he came to her instead!
'Why?' Gu Lichen's phoenix eyes were fixed on Ling Yiran's comely face. He always thought that this was how the little girl he had been looking for would grow up to look like.
'Did I come here only to see her one more time?'
Gu Lichen laughed. He had no feelings for her anymore. He came just because he was curious and wanted to find out the truth.
Ling Yiran bit her lip and met Gu Lichen's eye. "I broke up with Yi Jinli, so now I live here. What's so weird about that?"
"Broke up?" Gu Lichen was surprised.
Very few things surprised him, but now he was shocked!
