The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 148

Ling Yiran returned to the rental apartment in a state of embarrassment. "It has only been a few days since I left on New Year's Eve and returned but it feels like I've experienced a whole lifetime in that period."

She studied the cramped rental apartment and felt as if there was a chilliness in the air. Ling Yiran could not help smiling wryly. "From now on, I'll stay here alone once again.

"No one will accompany me and talk to me in the still of the night. Moreover, no one will smile as they call me 'Sister'!"

She grabbed a set of fresh clothes and washed away her shame before starting to tidy up the house.

"Although Yi Jinli was here for only a short time, there are so many traces of him in the house. The cutlery, towel, and toothbrush he was using as well as the clothes and shoes he wore..."

She cleared up everything and placed them all in a cardboard box.

"Why not throw them away?" she asked herself. "Keeping these things will just take up space, but I'd rather keep them. It might sound funny but I actually miss the days I spent with Jin.

"That Jin was clearly an illusion. He was a fake created by Yi Jinli, but... my feelings for Jin were real!

"I was so happy on the days I had Jin, as if I was finally not going to be alone anymore."

Ling Yiran finally picked up the half-knitted gloves she had placed by her headboard. "I had wanted to wait until after New Year's to find the time to continue knitting these gloves for him to wear. And yet, now... I will never have the opportunity to finish these gloves."

She put the gloves as well as the needles and yarn into the cardboard box. She then took some tape to seal the box, placing it in a corner of the house.

Ling Yiran was unable to sleep for the entire night. Whenever she shut her eyes, she could only see Yi Jinli's face and the scent of blood was still lingering in her mouth, unwilling to disappear.

She had gargled countless times throughout the night but that bloody stench was still very distinct.

The next day, Qin Lianyi arrived at the rental apartment and when she noticed Ling Yiran's tired appearance, she hurriedly asked, "I only saw the news this morning. Were you surrounded at the hospital entrance when you tried to leave yesterday? Are you hurt?"

Ling Yiran shook her head and replied, "I was only a bit embarrassed, but not hurt."

Qin Lianyi was angry and distraught when she saw the self-deprecating expression on her friend's face. "I'm angry that those people who surrounded and scolded her knew nothing about the incident, and yet they treated an innocent woman like that. I'm distraught that my friend clearly had not been drinking but she was indicted on a charge of driving under the influence."
