"Sister is very light," Yi Jinli said. "What I said is true. Although Ling Yiran is more than 160cm tall, now that I'm carrying her, I would estimate that her weight is less than 45kg. Looks like I'll have to build her up more in the future."Her face was pressed against his back and she could feel a sense of warmth. "How long has it been since I was carried by someone else like this? In my memory, when I was a child, Mom was the only one who ever did this for me."It’s just that my memories of those times are too vague.""Jin, you're so nice," she murmured."Is Sister going to say that I'm a nice person again?" he asked."I want to say that you're a good younger brother. I'm very lucky to have a younger brother like you," she replied."Younger brother..." His eyes flashed imperceptibly."Back when I was playing this game, didn't I stay by her side as her younger brother? She allowed me to call her Sister."But now it seems as if I don't want her to see me as a younger brother.
In the rental apartment, Yi Jinli carefully placed Ling Yiran in the chair. He then went to reheat the dishes that had gone cold.Qin Lianyi noticed Yi Jinli bustling about, which changed her opinion of him. "I used to think it was not good for Yiran to live with a stranger like this but it's obvious that he treats her well."If there's someone taking care of my good friend like this, I'll be able to feel relieved as well."Qin Lianyi returned home while Yi Jinli and Ling Yiran enjoyed a simple dinner. After the meal, Ling Yiran wanted to tidy up but Yi Jinli said, "Leave the tidying up to me. Sister, please don't move too much."At that moment, Ling Yiran had become an idle observer.When Yi Jinli was done tidying up, he asked Ling Yiran, "Sister, do you need to go to the bathroom?""Huh?" She was momentarily dazed and then her face flushed red."Yes or no?" he asked as if it was an extremely normal question.Her expression was awkward but she ultimately said "yes" quietly.T
"But if I'm dismissed with no income, then the rent as well as the money for food and living...""You still have me!" he exclaimed. "I'll earn money to take care of you, so you don't have to worry about it much."Ling Yiran stared dazedly at the man before her. "Even though I know he only does some odd jobs every day and can't make much money at all, the things he's saying now are giving me an unprecedented sense of security."My life is no longer lonely and helpless with no support. I can rely on Jin.""Make the call." He brought the phone before her.She pursed her lips and called the group leader in charge of the sanitary workers at the Sanitation Service Center.She had thought that the group leader would deliberately make it difficult for her to apply for a long period of leave, but to her surprise, when she asked for one week's leave, the group leader hastened to agree. He had even said that if one week was not enough, she could ask for two. Furthermore, she would still be
That night, Yi Jinli was awakened by Ling Yiran's muffled scream. When he turned on the lights, he realized that she was sleeping uneasily and she was mumbling something under her breath.But her voice was too soft for him to hear what she was saying clearly."Sister!" he called to her. He then lifted a hand and pressed it against her temples. He found that her forehead had broken out in a cold sweat and her temperature was high.Yi Jinli hurriedly wrung a towel soaked in warm water and wiped Ling Yiran's forehead.But her eyes were still shut and she was still muttering something.No matter how he called her, her eyes never opened.He pursed his thin lips and uneasiness spread within his body. He was momentarily at a loss as to how to make her feel more comfortable."This is probably the first time I have ever worried over a woman like this."He took out his phone and immediately dialed the number of his secretary, Gao Congming. Therefore, at two in the morning, Secretary Gao
But almost immediately, Gao Congming reminded himself not to make blind conjectures. "This is not something I should be speculating about."Gao Congming gently closed the door of the rental apartment. Inside the house, Yi Jinli studied the woman who was still in a deep slumber and placed the medicine in his hand by her rather dry lips. "Be good and take the medicine."However, she subconsciously pursed her lips tighter. He could not even get the pill in, let alone have her swallow it.Yi Jinli's thin lips pinched into a straight line. He then put the pill in his mouth with some water and lowered his head to get closer to Ling Yiran's lips.He pressed his lips onto hers and used the tip of his tongue to pry open her mouth, pushing the pill inside. "It's not as if there aren't any other methods, and yet, inexplicably, I'm still using this technique to feed her the pill."Even though the pill was already in her mouth, he still missed her lips."It's like a kind of greed or a type of
Xiao Ziyi continued complaining.Master Xiao and Madam Xiao could not help but frown at her complaints."4.8 million yuan is not a lot of money to the Xiao family but it is a large sum of money for an ordinary person.""Ziqi, you..." Madam Xiao stared at her son anxiously."You should ask Ziyi what she did," Xiao Ziqi replied rudely. "She told Ling Yiran to choose a dress from the shop to buy for her and Ling Yiran chose a 4.8 million yuan dress. I was just cleaning up Ziyi's mess.""Just because she chose it, you had to give it to her?!" Xiao Ziyi retorted insolently. "Brother, why didn't you say that you still have feelings for Ling Yiran?""I'm saving your life!" Xiao Ziqi was itching to slap his sister again.Xiao Ziyi indignantly replied, "She's just Ling Yiran. What can she do to me? Brother, what you said sounds very laughable.""That's right. Ziqi, you've gone too far, hitting your sister because of Ling Yiran. That woman is a curse. If it weren't for her, would our fam
Xiao Ziqi wanted to repent before Yi Jinli but he had no opportunity to meet him at all. Therefore, he could only stand by the entrance of Ling Yiran's housing estate. When Xiao Ziqi noticed a Bentley parked not far away from the property and a figure getting out of the car at the estate's entrance, he hurriedly got out of his car to approach the man."President Yi, the incident that happened before was because my younger sister did not have the sense of propriety. Please show your moral superiority by being merciful and letting the Xiao family off the hook," Xiao Ziqi pleaded with a modest attitude."Let the Xiao family off the hook?" Yi Jinli snorted lightly."If you have any conditions, please list them. I will accept any request that I am capable of fulfilling."Yi Jinli's beautiful and amorous eyes stared coldly at the man before him. In an instant, Xiao Ziqi felt as if all his blood had frozen. Yi Jinli's gaze made him feel as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast and
Xiao Ziyi had barely finished her threats when the stranger interrupted her. "Since it was really you, that's great."Once he was done talking, he turned to order the men behind him. "Break her right leg. In the video, she stuck out her right leg.""What... what does that mean?!"Xiao Ziyi was frightened. "Unless these men are not here to blackmail me?"A moment later, an anguished wail rang out in the private room...When Ling Yiran woke up the next day, her fever had gone down and Yi Jinli said, "Luckily the fever has settled. If not, I'd have to carry Sister down to the hospital today.""I... had a fever last night?" Ling Yiran mumbled."Yes, you had a fever and you said plenty of things in your fevered state," he replied.She was instantly surprised and asked, "What... what did I say?" She then thought to herself, "I didn't say anything that I shouldn't have said, did I?""You said that you'd be more obedient, be a good baby, and that you wanted me to stay by your side," h
