The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 229

"Did I frighten you?" he asked.

She hesitated. "I know you're just treating me like a game. You're interested in me now because you think it's fun. Once your interest wanes, then I'm worthless. If I offend you by accident, things might be as worse as what it was like in prison."

She did not want any more of those dark and miserable days!

"Aren't you afraid that you'll offend me now by saying that?" he asked.

Her body suddenly stiffened. Yes, of course, she was afraid, but she chose to say it anyway.

Her expression said it all.

There was a terrible silence all around.

Ling Yiran lowered her head, and all she could hear was her breathing and heartbeat. Yi Jinli did not say anything, but she could feel that his eyes were on her.

No one knew how much time had passed. Suddenly, she heard his voice. "If I say I'm not treating you as a game, will you want to stay with me?"

She raised her head suddenly and looked at him in astonishment as if she had not expected him to say that.

"Will you?" His eyes were still fixed on her.

She gave a bitter smile. "What am I supposed to do by your side? Continue to be your sis? Or be your playmate? Either way, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."

His thin lips drew a straight line, and his eyes grew cold. The word ‘wife’ was stuck in his throat.

However, it was too late. He had already seen what was on the phone.

Yi Jinli slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Yiran, half smiling. "Why, are you searching for news about me? If you have something to ask me, you can just call me and ask instead of searching the internet like this."

"..." She gasped. How could she explain this? Could she say that she just saw an influencer's live stream and, out of curiosity, searched for the relevant content?

"The party you attended today just started when you left. Doesn't it matter if you just come out like that?" She could only digress.

"It's just a party," he said nonchalantly. There were many parties like that in a year, and sometimes, he did not even bother to attend at all.

"Sis hasn't finished eating yet. Go on." He glanced at her half-eaten takeaway food, then calmly drew a chair and sat down.
