Besides, if a man like him could get in danger, it did not matter whether she kneeled or not.
Even if she were to break her legs kneeling, it would not do him any good.
Her silence darkened his eyes. Without another word, he started the car and drove away.
Just then, Ling Yiran felt nothing but silence and repression in the car.
...
Ling Yiran went to Qin Lianyi the next day, and the two found a table at a restaurant near Qin Lianyi's house. Looking at her best friend's obvious dark eye circles, Ling Yiran reckoned she did not sleep well last night.
"What happened after you got home yesterday?" Ling Yiran asked.
"Don't go there. My parents were preparing a ransom and almost made me kneel on the washboard when I got home," Qin Lianyi said.
Ling Yiran's face was full of surprise. "Why? You didn't tell them about Bai Tingxin?"
"Uh, I told them that a friend I hadn't seen for a long time played a little joke on me, but I forgot to tell them. It was all a false alarm," Qin Lianyi said. She did not have the guts to tell her parents the truth.
If her parents knew that she had ‘slept’ with a man abroad, they would have done more than just roast her last night. Maybe her old man would have beaten her with a rolling pin.
"What is it with you and Bai Tingxin? Why did he take you away like that yesterday?" Ling Yiran asked the biggest question in her mind.
Ling Yiran was stunned after hearing the story of her best friend and Bai Tingxin. According to Yi Jinli, Bai Tingxin was not a simple guy. He was scheming and manipulative, but her best friend...
Who would believe a thing like that?
"He has been looking for you for years?" Ling Yiran asked.
"I guess so..." Qin Lianyi said, embarrassed.
"Although we saved you from him yesterday, I don't think he'll leave it at that," Ling Yiran said. "How are you going to handle your relationship with him?"
Qin Lianyi scratched her head in distress. "I don't know. Let's take one step at a time." Speaking of which, her phone was still with Bai Tingxin. She had to buy another one later and report the loss of her phone number.
