The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 52

"Sister, do you like that man because he said those things?" he murmured and asked. There was a hint of jealousy in his eyes that even he was unaware of.

His scent permeated her senses and the close distance made her at a loss over what to do. An instinctual sense of crisis was emerging within her. "It feels like if I give the wrong answer, in the next moment a ferocious beast will violently pounce on me and snap my neck.

"Oh God, what am I thinking?!"

Ling Yiran laughed at herself internally at the idea that had just crossed her mind. "The person before me is Jin. He's not some dangerous character."

"I don't like Guo Xinli," she replied. "I can only apologize to him for his feelings for me."

Her reply improved his mood immediately. He stared at her and asked, "Sister, do you really not like that man?"

"Why would I lie to you?" she retorted. "Ever since I got out of jail, I've never even considered the idea of falling in love with someone. Love is a feeling that is too burdensome. I put all of my emotions into someone else, and when I was abandoned, I was struck by a devastating blow. I don't wish to go through that again."

There was a touch of joy in his eyes. "Then you have to remember to reject him. If not, a man like him will probably wait for you forever."

"I'll reject him," she said. "Since I don't reciprocate his feelings, I can't string him along.

"Furthermore, Guo Xinli is a good man. He should have a relationship with someone who truly belongs to him and not waste time on me."

"Oh right, how does he know that Sister has been to jail?" Yi Jinli asked suddenly.

She had already mentally prepared herself for such situations. She could not change the fact that she had been in jail, after all.

However, Sister Xu treated Ling Yiran as usual, taking care of her when they were doing their regular jobs, which she was grateful for.

"Yiran, you're a university graduate, why did you find a job like this? Do you really want to sweep roads for the rest of your life?" Sister Xu chatted with Ling Yiran during their free time.

"I have a criminal record and it isn't that easy to look for a job," Ling Yiran said frankly.

"Many employers asked about the incident when they found out that I had a criminal record. When they realized that I was the perpetrator who killed Yi Jinli's fiancée, Hao Meiyu, they all rejected me without any exception."
