When she said the name 'Yi Jinli', his body unnoticeably stiffened.
"Do you hate Yi Jinli?" he murmured.
She sighed and said, "Everyone in Shen City knows him. When I had the car accident, Hao Meiyu was Yi Jinli's fiancée. So, of course, I was not going to get out of it easily. How many people want to curry favor with him? It's the same number as the people who want to kick me when I'm down."
After a pause, she said with a look of self-mockery, "Sometimes I even think that if it had not been Hao Meiyu who I hit in the accident, I could have won the lawsuit. Would I have been spared from being in jail for three years and experienced all those things?"
She was not angry or sad, but the faint self-mockery she gave made him feel very guilty.
Perhaps half of her pain was because of him.
He squatted in front of her, staring at her through his thick bangs. "If I had known that you would suffer so much, I would have protected you three years ago."
This sentence had nothing to do with the game but was something that had come from the bottom of his heart.
Back then, if he had never allowed anyone to curry favor with him and been willing to give her fair treatment, then... she would neither have been imprisoned for three years, nor would she have been left with such injuries.
"I know that you would have. Alright, let's not talk about this." Ling Yiran smiled again and lifted her hand to rub his black hair.
It seemed that she had been doing this more and more frequently recently.
Qin Lianyi took the medicine and said to the two of them, "I'll go get the car from the underground parking lot. Jin, help Yiran to the entrance and wait for me."
"Alright," Yi Jinli agreed.
Qin Lianyi left in a hurry to pick up the car. Ling Yiran was still preparing to stand up with the help of the person next to her, but she saw that his slender body in front of her was shorter than usual.
She hadn't noticed that when she put her arms around his neck, his face had changed slightly. With such a posture, it could be said that he was trusting her with his life since she could clearly choke his neck.
He usually would never allow others to put their hands in such a place.
But when it was her...
Yi Jinli's eyes were filled with a tenderness that he didn't even know was there.
Carrying her on his back, he walked out of the emergency room and headed for the entrance of the hospital.
"Am I... heavy?" Ling Yiran bit her lip and asked. Deep down, she was afraid that if she was too heavy she could cause him trouble.
