The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 14

That was slapping her in the face.

Zhao Mantian felt angered and humiliated, and she immediately turned to leave the place with Miao Jiayu following her.

Ling Yiran felt as if she were watching a show. The minute she stepped out of the bazaar, she saw a few people smashing a car that seemed to belong to Zhao Mantian.

"What happened? Has she offended someone and that person is taking revenge?" Ling Yiran asked.

"Who knows!" Yi Jinli replied as his eyes glittered, lips pursed.

"Anyway, it's none of our business." Ling Yiran took Yi Jinli's arm and walked to the bus stop.

Suddenly, Yi Jinli stopped walking. Ling Yiran turned to look at him and saw that he looked pale. He looked shocked as he fixed his gaze on the bus stop.

"What happened?" Ling Yiran asked, looking worried.

"N-nothing," Yi Jinli replied when his expression resumed to normalcy. Earlier on... he had mistaken a woman who was getting on the bus for that woman.

The woman who had deserted her husband and son couldn't have appeared in that area.

...

"Jin, don't follow in my footsteps. Even if you were to fall for a woman, don't love her whole-heartedly.

"The most unreliable thing in this world is love. When she no longer loves you, it will be useless even if you were to kneel before her.

"Jin, one day, when you fall in love, you will realize that someone in this world has the power to control your emotions. She could make you live or die. However, if possible, Dad hopes that you will never get to experience that."

"Who's that? Who is saying these things to me?

"Stop saying these things to me. Don't stay here! It's cold... it's so cold... Don't stay here... if you continue to stay here... you will freeze to death!"

"Jin, I'm leaving. I don't want to hear your father telling me how much he loves me and is yet unable to give me the kind of life I want! I've already done my best."

"Who's that, who's talking to me now?"

"Don't...go..." "Who's that talking now? Oh, it's him. He's begging the woman. If she leaves, my father would..."

"Don't go! Don't go!" Yi Jinli struggled to catch hold of her, but he couldn't do so. The surrounding area became darker and he was about to drown. He felt so terrible that he found it difficult to breathe.

He struggled to grab hold of something, even if it was only a straw!

Suddenly, he caught hold of something warm. A gentle voice rang beside his ears, saying, "Jin, Jin, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

"This voice... belongs to Sister. She's Ling Yiran, the woman who has asked me to address her as Sister!"

The minute Yi Jinli opened his eyes, he saw a pretty face. Her black Almond Eyes were full of anxiety, her pink lips opening and closing as if she were talking.

She was telling him not to be afraid!

When Ling Yiran saw that Yi Jinli had awakened, she heaved a sigh of relief as she asked, "Jin, what happened? Did you have a nightmare?"

He continued to shut his eyes, waiting for the pain to leave his body. It was nothing new for him to be alone.

Ever since his father had passed away, Yi Jinli had been taken back to the Yi family. Although he had a grandfather and many servants around him, he felt lonely.

After some time, the door opened. Yi Jinli heard a familiar voice panting, speaking gently, "Jin, I've bought medicine for you. You will not feel as painful after you have taken the medicine."

Yi Jinli opened his eyes and saw her panting. Her hair was in a mess, as she had been running. Her pretty face looked worried. She had a cute nose and slightly red lips. Although Yi Jinli had seen many women more beautiful than Ling Yiran, at that instant, he couldn't shift his gaze away from her.

He felt as though there was another person in this world beside him.

...

Ling Yiran poured a glass of warm water and took out two tablets, according to the prescription. She helped Yi Jinli sit up and fed him the medicine.

Having done so, she wiped away the sweat from his face.

"If you still feel terrible, shut your eyes and try to sleep," Ling Yiran said. "Today, you shall sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor." As Ling Yiran spoke, she was helping him to the bed.

As she was about to turn around, Yi Jinli suddenly caught hold of her hand.

"What happened? Are you still feeling terrible?" Ling Yiran asked, looking worried.

He was in a daze as he looked at her. He had caught hold of her hand unconsciously, as he didn't want her to leave him.

After some time, Yi Jinli said, "I'd like... Sister to keep me company."
