However, he seemed to turn a deaf ear to her words. He just stared at her and said, "Are you going to hurt me, Sis?"
Her body shuddered as she felt her throat tighten as if some words were stuck in it.
His eyes were fixed on her as if he was going to see through her.
"Is that a difficult question?" After a long silence, he muttered, "It's all right if you don't want to answer, but let me remind you..."
He bent slowly while his lips got close to her ear. He whispered, "Never hurt me, all right?"
As long as she did not hurt him, he would praise her to the heavens, love her to the earth, and even protect her, making sure she was happy and safe for the rest of her life.
As long as she did not hurt him!
...
In the huge room, Ling Yiran fidgeted, occasionally checking the clock on her phone and calculating how long it would be before she heard any news about her best friend.
Yi Jinli, on the other hand, had changed into a set of casual clothes and was sitting on the sofa, leafing through some professional reports.
Looking at the elegantly seated Yi Jinli, Ling Yiran could not help but think of the words he had said earlier.
He said that she must never hurt him.
The problem was, she could not hurt him at all! What he said was a little redundant.
Yi Jinli glanced at the caller ID on his phone, answered the call, glanced at Ling Yiran's eager expression, and turned on the speaker.
A man's voice sounded from the phone. "We've found her, Young Master Yi. Qin Lianyi was taken away by Bai Tingxin. She should be at Bai Tingxin's house in Crescent Bay now."
Yi Jinli frowned slightly. "Bai Tingxin?"
"Yes, there’s no mistake. Bai Tingxin himself captured her today," the man said.
"All right, I see." Yi Jinli ended the call, looked up at Ling Yiran, and said, "When did Qin Lianyi get involved with Bai Tingxin?"
Ling Yiran looked confused. "Bai Tingxin? Who is he?"
