The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 177

‘Yi Jinli has been backing Ling Yiran ever since then!’

-

Ling Yiran followed Yi Jinli into a private room. Once Ling Yiran sat down, Yi Jinli asked the manager to bring in some appetizers first.

“Come on, eat a little to ease the hunger pangs first. The appetizers here taste quite nice.” He took a piece of appetizer as he spoke and brought it in front of her.

Ling Yiran looked at the appetizer in front of her and hesitated for a moment before she received it and ate.

Yi Jinli then personally placed the menu in front of Ling Yiran. He said, “Sis, take a look and see if there is anything you want to try.”

“Never mind. You can order on my behalf. I don’t have any particular requests.” Even while she was eating such a delicately-made appetizer, it was as if her tongue had a layer of wax. She could not properly enjoy the taste of the food.

Yi Jinli squinted his eyes and stared at Ling Yiran.

At that moment, the atmosphere abruptly became chilly.

The manager who was still in the private room held his breath while his heart thumped rapidly. He was afraid that this master here would throw a temper right now.

Fortunately, a smile surfaced on Yi Jinli’s face. “Then I shall order for you.”

He proceeded to order a few dishes while the manager noted down every one of them before retreating from the private room.

Outside, the manager finally heaved in relief.

“I want to rest earlier.” She created an excuse. The truth was, she did not want to look at him and interact with him anymore. For each second she had to be with him, it became more clear to her the difference between them both.

Her heart would unknowingly miss the Jin she used to know. She knew that Jin was just an imaginary persona he had created and that Jin did not exist.

However, she still would think of Jin.

“You’re afraid of me,” he stared at her as he said it. It was not a question, but a statement.

Her body stiffened as she pursed her lips tightly.

“Why? Because I’m Yi Jinli?” His gaze seemed like they could penetrate her. “Sis, do you still miss Jin?”
