Chapter 563

The tears were... Suddenly, as if there was a needle pricking in her mind, she felt a sudden pain… "You know what? I miss you so much... I miss you..." he muttered as his face drew closer and closer, his lips almost touching hers. Pow! A clear slap rang in the darkness. Ling Yiran panted slightly, the palm of her right hand had a burning pain—a sign of how hard she slapped him just now. Gu Lichen's face was slapped to one side. The air around him seemed to freeze. There was silence. After a long time, he slowly turned his head with his eyes fixed on her. Only now, his eyes were no longer blurry like just now. They had become a lot clearer. His fingers slowly loosened their hold on her, and without saying a word, he turned and staggered into a nearby car. It was only then that Ling Yiran put her hand up against her head which was still throbbing. Why did she have a headache when she saw Gu Lichen's tears just now? It was as if she was triggered by something. A terrible feeling even welled up in her heart at that moment. Why... Was she so upset? It was as if her body did not want to see him cry. Even Ling Yiran could not explain why she felt this way. Now, in another dark corner not far away, Ling Luoyin gritted her teeth as she looked at Ling Yiran's back with a fierce, malevolent look. Today, she had followed Lichen to the town and watched him stand like a fool in front of the hill for hours. She almost stood with him until her legs ached to the point of collapse. Later, Lichen went to a restaurant in the town and had a drink. She had never seen him drink like this—one drink after another as if he intended on getting himself drunk. She was secretly pleased, thinking that if he got drunk tonight, it might be an opportunity for her. She could find an opportunity to approach him, and maybe something would happen. However, unexpectedly, he came here to meet Ling Yiran next. Just now... They almost kissed! Why... Did he do this to Ling Yiran when he clearly did not know that Ling Yiran was the little girl in his painting? Ling Yiran already had Yi Jinli, but she was still trying to mess with her Lichen! If she really could not keep Lichen one day, she would surely make Ling Yiran pay for it! Ling Luoyin swore in her heart with a twisted expression. ... At night, Ling Yiran had her chin in her hands as she looked at Yi Jinli who was working in the room. He insisted on having her by his side when he was working. He euphemistically said that her presence made him feel less tired.
