"Jin, I've forgiven you!" Ling Yiran said solemnly, wanting to ease his regret, pain, remorse, and guilt... Was that not why she did not want to tell him the condition of her hands? "I’ve really forgiven you, so stop blaming yourself."
He looked blankly at her. She had forgiven him so earnestly, but he was still heavy-hearted.
"You didn't know me back then. I was just a nobody to you," she said.
‘Would she still… forgive me for the things I did after meeting her? Does she know that Hua Lifang would never have been able to impersonate her if I hadn't tampered with things?
'Whatever that happened afterward would never have happened. Gu Lichen wouldn't have misunderstood her because of Hua Lifang's schemes, and Gu Lichen would have immediately helped her when Qin Lianyi was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital!
'She wouldn't have begged me and married me!
'She wouldn't have fallen into the sea, lost five years of memory, and lived such a hard life!
'My actions not only changed my and Gu Lichen's fate but also... her's!
...
Gu Lichen met Hao Yimeng in the detention center.
Hao Yimeng was a little surprised. "I didn't think you'd come and see me. I heard you were on the hill too. Were you trying to save Ling Yiran as well? But it’s pointless even if you risk everything for her. Yi Jinli is still the one Ling Yiran loves. You’re overestimating yourself!"
Hao Yimeng's expression changed.
"You must be familiar with Jinli's temper too. If someone is indebted to him, he'll want them to pay it back tenfold. You and Xiao Ziqi are doomed to be in prison, but you have a child, Hao Jifei. Although Xiao Ziqi isn't his father, you're his biological mother. What do you think Jinli will do to the child?" said Gu Lichen.
Hao Yimeng was silent as her hands almost unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt.
A long time passed before she said, "Will you protect Lil Fei if I tell you the truth, no matter what it is?"
"As long as the child doesn't do anything that threatens Yiran and her three children, then I can protect him," said Gu Lichen.
