The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 51

Ling Yiran returned to the rental apartment at night. Just as she was having dinner with Yi Jinli, someone knocked at the door.

Ling Yiran was startled. "I never usually have visitors. Could it be that my father, stepmother, and sister are here?!"

But when she opened the door, she was surprised to see Guo Xinli standing outside.

Guo Xinli was wearing a black cotton shirt and his face was slightly red. He looked at Ling Yiran and spoke rather uneasily, "I..." He had barely opened his mouth when he noticed Yi Jinli, who had walked over to stand behind Ling Yiran, and he stopped suddenly as if he was hesitating.

Yi Jinli studied the man standing outside the house. "I remember this man. He's Ling Yiran's colleague from the Sanitation Service Center and he seems to have feelings for her."

"Why are you here? Are you looking for Sister?" Yi Jinli asked.

"I... I have some business to discuss with Yiran privately," Guo Xinli said with a flushed face, then he glanced at Ling Yiran and asked, "Yiran, is that okay?"

Yi Jinli frowned lightly and found the way Guo Xinli called her "Yiran" to be unpleasant to the ear.

Just as Ling Yiran wanted to reply, Yi Jinli interrupted her and said, "Is it something you can't discuss here?"

"It's..." Guo Xinli hesitated.

Ling Yiran said, "If there's something you need to say, there's no harm in speaking frankly."

And yet, it was as if he had not heard her. He pressed his face closer to her instead and his lips lightly grazed her ear. "Sister, were you touched by what that man said just now?"

"Touched? That I don't know, but I was definitely surprised. After all, I had been expecting Guo Xinli to just give up when he found out that I had been to jail.

"I truly didn't expect that he would specially come to where I live just to say those things.

"In this world, there are so few people who would look at a person who has been in jail with a usual gaze."

He frowned at her silence. "I don't like her thinking about another man. It gives me a very uncomfortable feeling."
