The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 372

When Ling Yiran finished work at the restaurant, she said to Zhuo Qianyun, her lady boss, “Sis Zhuo, may I take tomorrow afternoon off? I wish to visit my mother’s grave and pay homage.”

Although the following day was Tomb Sweeping Day, a national holiday, holidays often meant that restaurants would be packed. Naturally, restaurant workers were usually not allowed to take leave on national holidays.

Zhuo Qianyun was quite shocked that Ling Yiran’s mother had passed away. Hence, she said, “Okay, no problem. Since you’re going in the afternoon, ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes for you to bring to the grave as an offering.”

“Thanks but it’s alright. I will prepare them myself.” Ling Yiran wanted to cook the dishes for her mother herself.

When Ling Yiran’s mother was still alive, she was still a young child. Now that Ling Yiran had become an adult and knew how to cook, she wanted to show her skills to her mother.

“Then I shall go home now,” Ling Yiran said.

“Okay.” Zhuo Qianyun seemed to have something that she wanted to say, but she kept it to herself in the end.

‘Since Yiran said that she isn’t close with Gu Lichen, there is no need for me to drag Yiran into this. As for Gu Lichen, I’ll just have to make a visit when the time comes.

After Ling Yiran left the restaurant, she did not return immediately to the Yi Residence. Instead, she went to the supermarket and bought some fish, meat, and vegetables. She then rode her electric bike to a shop that sold prayer items.

“Granny Fan, please get me the usual three sets of incense sticks and ingots.” Ling Yiran said to the old lady who was well over 80 years and was sitting inside the shop. Each year, before Ling Yiran went to the grave to offer her mother prayers and offerings, she would come to the same shop to buy the same things. This of course was an exception for when she was serving her sentence.

“It’s Yiran. You’re going to the grave tomorrow.” Granny Fan flashed an almost toothless smile at Ling Yiran.

“Yes, it’s me,” Ling Yiran responded.

“Why were you sitting on the sofa in the dark?” Ling Yiran asked.

“I was waiting for you.” Yi Jinli said as he stood up to approach her. “What about you? You haven’t answered my question.”

Ling Yiran pursed her red lips. “After finishing work at the restaurant, I went to buy some ingredients, incense, and ingots. I’m going to visit my mother’s grave tomorrow.”

‘Visit her grave...” Yi Jinli’s gaze landed on the back of the ingots and incense. “Oh yes, tomorrow is Tomb Sweeping Day. It’s time to visit her grave. Unfortunately, I can’t accompany you tomorrow.”

Ling Yiran was stunned at first. She was not expecting him to accompany her to the grave, but his words... Ling Yiran recalled that his father had passed away as well. Therefore, he was probably going to visit his father’s grave.

One was going to visit their mother’s grave, while the other was going to visit their father’s grave. At times, they seemed like people in similar situations.
