"You know full well whether I'm lying or not." Ling Yiran ignored Hua Lifang's antics. Her gaze only fell on Gu Lichen's face. "Do you believe what I say?"
The shock in Gu Lichen's eyes slowly faded. His long eyelashes fluttered a little and then they were slowly lowered. "Do you want me to believe that you're the little girl who saved my life when I was a child?"
"Yes," replied Ling Yiran. She knew it was too sudden for her to say it now, but... she wanted to gamble on his trust.
"Do you remember when we met on the edge of the cliff on the 49th day of your grandmother's death? What did you say when I asked you if you were the little girl?" Gu Lichen's voice rang faintly.
Ling Yiran felt bitter. She had just wanted to give Yi Jinli a sense of security. Therefore, even though she had recovered her memory, she still insisted on denying the fact that she had saved him when she was a child.
She said, "I remember. I denied it back then, but—"
"But afterward, I still asked you more than once if you are that girl!" Gu Lichen's voice was tinged with sarcastic laughter. His phoenix eyes slowly looked up, also full of sarcasm. "But you kept telling me over and over you're not, and now you want me to believe that you are. Ling Yiran, don't you think it's a little ridiculous?"
The look in her eyes made Gu Lichen feel an indescribable pain in his heart. She was the one he wanted to protect, but he felt jealous again when he thought of her defending and trusting Guo Xinli.
He tried to ignore the pain in his heart. "What do you think? If it's true, you had too many chances to tell me the truth. But why did you choose to tell me after Guo Xinli's incident? Do you want to help Guo Xinli that much? You'd even make up such a lie for him?!"
Hua Lifang, who was beside him, immediately said with a look of grievance, "Yiran, you've gone too far! You can't say that even if you want to help Guo Xinli win the lawsuit. Have you ever thought about what Lichen will think of me if you say this? Lichen will just think I'm a liar! Have you thought of what will happen to me?"
