The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1079

She thought of getting out of here by pretending to love him.

However... How long could she ‘pretend’? Unless she could keep this up forever, it would end up badly when Yi Jinli found out she lied to him.

More importantly, she did not want to use her feelings to deceive his feelings!

The mansion was large. The buildings and pavilions inside were just like those seen in rich and powerful families' residences in movies and dramas. There were many lotus-related items there.

For example, lotus porcelains. The pillars and beams also had carvings of lotus flowers. Some antique furniture also had lotus carvings, not to mention the lotus pond in the yard.

The lotus flowers here were still in full bloom even though it was already past their season, which was really strange.

The owner of the mansion probably liked lotus flowers very much.

'Or maybe... It was the woman imprisoned here back then who was fond of lotus flowers?' Ling Yiran thought to herself.

She was quite fond of lotus flowers herself. Perhaps it was because lotus flowers always seemed pure even though they grew in mud!

Ling Yiran walked around the house, looking for Yi Jinli.

Though he kept her in the mansion, he did not restrict her movements in it. At least she was ‘free’ within the confines of the mansion, so to speak.

Finally, she stopped when she reached a passage and looked into one of the rooms.

She remembered seeing Yi Jinli coming out of this room once.

'Would he... be in the room?'

Ling Yiran was about to leave when suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her. Then Yi Jinli's cold voice rang out. "Why are you here?"

Ling Yiran immediately turned around and that handsome face caught her eye. "I was looking for you. I entered this room to see if you were here."

"Looking for me?" he asked lightly. He walked to the center of the room and approached the display case with the ancient sword.

"I... I want to contact Lianyi and Sis Zhuo. Lianyi will be worried if she can't find me, and Sis Zhuo... I'm representing her in her custody case. I can't get out of here right now... And her case is also a little difficult."

He pursed his thin lips as those dark eyes stared at her, examining the truth of her words.

Ling Yiran said, "I'm just contacting them to tell them something. I'm not going to say anything more than that. Besides, even if I do say something, they wouldn't be able to take me away even if they did find this place."
