The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1110

However... it turned out their relationship was just a ‘mistake’ to her.

The woman he loved most was begging him to let her go. Was there anything more ironic?

"Okay, I'll let you go." He heard his voice saying. "We have nothing more to do with each other after this!"

Neither a lover nor a sister, no relationship of any kind existed between them from now onward.

Just like how two horizon lines were only horizon lines.

...

Gu Lichen took Ling Yiran back to her rental house. She had not been back for a week, and nothing had changed except for some dust in some places.

Gu Lichen said, "You... didn’t have to kneel before Jinli. I could’ve thought of something else even if you didn’t kneel."

Ling Yiran gave a wry smile. 'I’ll just think of it as payback for him kneeling before me previously.'

Yesterday, Yi Jinli knelt in front of her, begging her to love him! Today, she knelt in front of Yi Jinli, begging him to let her go!

"Gu Lichen, thank you, but…" She paused and looked at his hands with a complicated gaze. Fortunately, Yi Jinli did not break Gu Lichen's left hand after all. Otherwise, she would owe him more. "You don't have to do this for me. Really, I told you I have no—"

He interjected and said, "No feelings for me, right? It may be the case today and tomorrow, but can you be sure that it'll be the same in one or two years, even ten or twenty years?"

Ling Yiran was stunned. Gu Lichen's voice continued saying, "Yiran, I can wait. As long as you don't fall for anyone else, then I can wait forever."

Taking the water, he suddenly said, "It seems to me that this is the first time you've offered me water."

"Huh?" She froze.

"So you see, just because something hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen," he said. He had always given people a sense of indifferent estrangement, but now, he had a rare gentleness when he faced her. "Just like you. Maybe one day, you'll fall in love with me?"

With that, he threw his head back to finish the glass of water in his hand. He said, "Do you want me to send someone to protect you? In case Jinli takes you away again."

"No thanks." Ling Yiran shook her head. "After what he said today, I don't think he'll come to me again."

Gu Lichen stared at Ling Yiran for a moment before nodding slightly. "Alright, it's late. I gotta go. You can call me any time if something comes up."
