"If you have no further questions, then I'm going to leave," said Ling Yiran as she walked toward the conference room's door.
However, before her hand touched the door handle, Gu Lichen grabbed her.
"Ling Yiran, do you have to shut me out like this?" There was a note of impatience in his voice that was usually calm.
Gu Lichen felt a rare sense of anxiety, one that he could not even articulate.
Ling Yiran stared at the handsome face in front of her. His delicate features reminded her of another miniature face.
Back in the woods, the little boy with that face had once held her when she was exhausted from carrying him. "I'll be very nice to you. I'll buy you a lot of dresses. I'll take you to eat lots of delicious food. I'll protect you better than anyone else!"
She did not take it very seriously at the time. After all, many children forgot what they said the next day.
She then forgot about him and their shared memories after catching a fever.
She was not aware that he had been looking for her for so many years! His obsession was deeper than she had ever imagined.
Only now, his obsession was with Hua Lifang.
'As for me... I've chosen not to say anything.'
He was not the one she loved. If he shifted his obsession to her, then there would only be more confusion. It might not be a good thing for him.
Ling Yiran did not say anything, but the way she looked at him made Gu Lichen feel a pang in his heart.
