The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 598

She was almost choked by his embrace.

"I'm not... Not..." she said with difficulty.

Just as Ling Yiran thought she might faint from lack of breath, a sudden gust of force yanked her out of Gu Lichen’s arms. The next moment, she heard the pow of a punch in her ear. It was followed by a muffled snort, the sound of heavy objects falling, and the crash of chairs and shelves.

Ling Yiran took a deep breath. Then, all she could see was Yi Jinli's face.

It was Jin who had yanked her out of Gu Lichen's arms! Ling Yiran stared blankly at Yi Jinli who was standing beside her, wondering why he was here.

With a gloomy face, Yi Jinli stared at Gu Lichen who had just been punched to the ground by him.

Gu Lichen was now leaning uneasily against a row of shelves, surrounded by the mess from his crash.

Blood trickled down the corner of his lips. It was obvious that Yi Jinli's punch had not been light.

"Do you know what you're doing?" asked Yi Jinli with a ghastly pale face. His voice was as cold as the bone-chilling wind, and the mere sound of it would make an average person tremble.

However, Gu Lichen met Yi Jinli's eyes with a smile on his face. "I know."

"You know? You still did it when you knew? Do you want to turn the Gu family against the Yi family, Lichen?" Yi Jinli said condescendingly.

Gu Lichen wiped the blood from his lips and slowly stood up. "Jinli, you know I've been looking for someone, don’t you? Ling Yiran could well be the one I'm looking for."

He knew Gu Lichen was right. He was indeed afraid!

He was afraid Yiran would find out she was the one Gu Lichen had been looking for... He was afraid she would find out the truth he had been keeping from her.

Ling Yiran felt her hand hurting as Yi Jinli was holding her with much force.

He held her hand so tightly that it... began to tremble. It was as if he was silently telling her of his panic.

She never thought that his hand would tremble like that.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Yiran raised her other hand and grabbed Yi Jinli's trembling hand.
