The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1097

He seemed to sense what she was thinking, and his thin lips parted lightly. "Don't worry. I won't let the old man have the chance to hurt you."

She gently lowered her eyes and got up to put the empty bowl aside. "Rest well. I'll go back to my room first."

However, before she could turn around, his hand had already grabbed her sleeve. He looked at her with his chin slightly up, and there was a glint in his bright eyes.

She asked, "Yi Jinli, what are you doing?"

"You feel something for me, don't you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t watch over me, make me take my medicine, make porridge for me..." His hoarse voice escaped his mouth little by little. His expression was one of supplication and longing. "Ling Yiran, fall in love with me, alright? I never knew I could love a woman so deeply!"

He was the high and mighty Young Master Yi to others, but he was willing to swallow all his pride just to ask her to love him!

Her mind seemed to go blank for an instant.

...

Gu Lichen tried to track Ling Yiran down with almost every connection he had, but it was not that easy. He had connections, but so did Yi Jinli. Of course, Yi Jinli could stop him from tracking them down.

Not only Ling Yiran but even Yi Jinli had not shown up in days.

For a moment, the search seemed to have hit a dead-end.

Gu Lichen had never been so distracted. He could not even concentrate on what Hua Lifang was telling him. His mind was preoccupied with Ling Yiran's whereabouts.

"What did you say?" asked Gu Lichen.

"I said... my birthday is in a few days. Can I have a birthday party this year?" said Hua Lifang as she looked at Gu Lichen expectantly.

Gu Lichen looked at her with some indifference after hearing what she said. "Your cousin is missing, yet you're thinking about your birthday party?"

"Yiran's with Yi Jinli. They were a couple. Maybe they're having a sweet time with each other right now..." she said deliberately to make Gu Lichen give up on Ling Yiran. "Maybe she and Yi Jinli will show up in a few days, all intimate again. Besides... I want to use my birthday to celebrate our reunion. I can't not celebrate anything just because of Yiran, can I?"

Gu Lichen pursed his thin lips for a moment and then said, "Alright, I see. I'll get someone to prepare your birthday party. You can talk to them if you need anything."

Hua Lifang's face lit up, and she was about to say something when Gu Lichen's phone suddenly rang.
