The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1144

"Are you awake?" Gu Lichen's voice rang in her ears.

As soon as she looked up, her face turned slightly red. She gave a vague response and got off quickly.

Gu Lichen got off the bus with her.

No matter how fast or slow Ling Yiran walked, Gu Lichen followed her steadily and saw her off until she reached her rental house’s door.

"Okay, I'm going home," he said. He did not attempt to enter the rental house. However, just as he was about to turn round, as though he suddenly remembered something, he said, "By the way, even if the police can't find anything about the lounge incident right now, I'm going to keep investigating it. No matter who that person is trying to frame, I'll find them and give you justice!"

Ling Yiran said, "So you believe in Sis Lifang’s words that someone is trying to harm her and I'm the unfortunate substitute who entered the lounge at the wrong time?"

"I don't believe her. I just want to find out the truth," said Gu Lichen.

"If you find out the truth and she’s the one who did it, will you turn her in to the police and do things fairly?" asked Ling Yiran as she looked at Gu Lichen.

His eyes glimmered. 'If Lifang did all this, I will naturally give Yiran justice, but... turn her into the police? Do things fairly?'

Such a case was enough for a sentence. "She... did save me when I was little, though," Gu Lichen said with difficulty.

Ling Yiran gave a wry smile, suddenly finding it ironic.

It was she who had chosen to conceal the truth from him. Although she was the one who saved him when she was a child, he was protecting Hua Lifang who was trying to harm her because of the affections they had when they were young.

His thin lips were still parting and closing. "Yiran, I can't decide whether you want to enter my world, but I can decide whether I want to enter your world! You're the person I want to protect the most in my life, so I'm not going to let anyone hurt you or harm you again!"

Her heart felt as if it were being pulled by something, and she could not take her eyes off his face.

Ling Yiran felt as if a rush of heat had come up from the back of her throat. It mixed with the soreness on the tip of her nose, creating a sensation she had never felt before.

...

The driver dropped Hua Lifang off at her place and left. Hua Lifang stomped her foot forcefully as she entered the neighborhood and arrived at her apartment building. She stepped into the elevator.

It was considered a wealthy neighborhood in Shen City. Although it was an apartment building, the smallest unit here still cost more than 20 million dollars.
