"..." What a gossip.
"Why don't you bring that woman over and let us meet her? I'd rather like to know what that woman looks like," Ye Chongwei suggested.
After all, in their circle, Yi Jinli had always been cold towards women. Even Hao Meiyu, who had been engaged to Yi Jinli that year, had been treated coldly. It was unprecedented for him to rush over and besiege a house with police cars in the middle of the night, just for a woman.
When Ye Chongwei had heard about this, he was stunned. After the incident, he had specially called to ask.
However, Ye Chongwei's curiosity made Yi Jinli inexplicably unhappy. He didn't want other men to be curious about her and didn't want her to meet those people. He just wanted to have her in a place where only he could see her.
If Ye Chongwei and the others met her, and if she became one of their...
Yi Jinli knew that Ye Chongwei's group was quite popular among women, especially Gu Lichen. It seemed that any woman Gu Lichen liked would eventually become his girlfriend. Even though those women knew that the relationship would be shortlived, they continued to chase him.
If Gu Lichen was interested in Yiran... As he thought about this, Yi Jinli's heart became agitated.
Perhaps, in other people's eyes, the name "Yi Jinli" meant that he could obtain any woman he wanted. However, these three words were Yiran's greatest taboo.
"It's just a woman. What's there to see?" he said lightly.
"But this woman is different. You even abandoned your Old Master for this woman," Ye Chongwei said, "Tsk tsk, I haven't seen you care so much about any woman before. Don't tell me you've fallen in love with her and want to hide her away?"
The more Ye Chongwei said, the more agitated Yi Jinli became. What flashed across his mind was that delicate and beautiful face. Uneasiness arose in his heart.
"I said, Yi Jinli..." On the other end of the line, Ye Chongwei was still mumbling. Yi Jinli quickly ended the call.
There was an endless silence between them. It was only when the cigarette between his fingers singed his hand that he put it out.
"Are you... Yi Jinli?" Ling Yiran heard herself asking. There was no anger, no tears, no complaints. There was only... calmness.
When she had pushed open the glass door and heard him say that it was just a game, that it was to kill time because he had been bored, her originally chaotic heart had suddenly calmed down.
That's right, that should be the answer.
Otherwise, why would someone like Yi Jinli stay with her in the rental apartment for two months as "Jin"?
