"However, you'd better take everything I've said to heart," he said.
Ling Yiran was shocked. What did he mean by that? Take it to heart...?
He would marry her if she was willing to marry him. Did he know what that meant?
Ling Yiran's mind was all messed up until they got into the car. Once the car reached the Yi residence, she followed Yi Jinli out of the car and was just about to enter the house when he stopped abruptly.
"By the way, it's not that I've never starved," he said. "There were times when I was so hungry I thought I would die."
When he was still young, his father passed away, and his body was cremated. Yi Jinli remained in the small shabby house while holding onto the urn filled with his father’s ashes. At that time, he was famished. He was so hungry that he almost lost his strength. He only narrowly missed death.
Finally, a neighbor knocked on the door and offered him something to eat. It was only then did he recover his strength and vigor.
Ling Yiran was stunned and looked at him in surprise. When he said this, his light tone made her feel a little distressed.
She thought of the childhood stories he had previously told her when he was still Jin.
His mother left him and his father… died in the snow. Before he joined the Yi family, he must have led a tough life...
She could not help but slightly fold her hands that were on the sides of her body. Earlier when he said those last few words, she even unconsciously wanted to pat his head and comfort him as she used to do before.
However, it occurred to her in the next moment that he was not Jin. He was Yi Jinli, someone she was not supposed to touch.
Their words were like a basin of cold water, instantly putting out the ideas Ling Guozhi had in his mind.
They were right. His daughter was only a sanitation service worker who had been to prison. Who was Yi Jinli? Could he take a fancy to a sanitation service worker who had been to prison?
"Besides, Sis was deliberately friendly to Lichen. This made Lichen misunderstand me and think that I have something against her." Ling Luoyin continued complaining. "Dad, what kind of older sister will do that? Other people's older sisters are happy to see their younger sister doing well, but my sister is holding me back!"
Ling Guozhi frowned.
Ling Luoyin was continuing her efforts. "If Lichen breaks up with me because of Sis, I don't know what I'll do. I really love Lichen, Dad."
