“The kitchenware and bedding can be sold at the second-hand shop later when I pass by it. As for the clothes and shoes, I can still wear them, so I’ll take them back.”
Yi Jinli looked at the clothes and shoes that Ling Yiran wanted to take back. They were old clothing. Although the quality looked good, the styles were outdated and some of the colors had faded.
Yi Jinli understood that these clothes were probably those she owned before going into prison.
However, he did not say anything. After all, even if he wanted to give her money to spend and told her to buy new ones, he still had to do it slowly.
He was afraid that if he rushed into it, he would frighten her. She was only beginning to let down her defenses in front of him.
“Why don’t you wait for me here? I’ll be back soon,” Ling Yiran said. Then, she picked up the kitchenware and bedding that she had packed to bring them to the second-hand shop.
Yi Jinli was quicker than her and took the stuff from her. “Let me carry them. Please open the door for me.”
“Oh,” she responded and went to the door to open it.
Yi Jinli walked out of the house while carrying the bag of kitchenware in one hand and the bedding in the other hand.
Ling Yiran quickly closed the door and caught up with Yi Jinli.
“Why don’t I carry something? My hands are empty.” Ling Yiran offered as she felt bad seeing Yi Jinli with his hands full.
“There’s no need. You just lead the way in front.”
His tone was firm when he said that.
Ling Yiran understood that the uncle was just on the lookout for her, thus she said, “He’s my boyfriend, and I think I know him quite well.” She knew his family background, his personality, where his house was, and his family members... She had seen his old man as well.
Although, she could not say that she had a good experience meeting Old Master Yi for the first time.
The man sighed, thinking that Ling Yiran was in too deep that he could not help her anymore.
Ling Yiran managed to sell that bunch of old items for 100 yuan. After she received the money from the man, she and Yi Jinli went back to the rented unit.
“What did the uncle say to you just now?” he suddenly asked. He had noticed the man speaking to her in private earlier.
Ling Yiran teased. “The uncle advised me to be careful so that I won’t be cheated by you. Would you lie to me?”
