The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 136

It was as if she had heard his voice and she frowned suddenly. Her forehead broke out in a cold sweat and immediately, she started to shake her head left and right as if avoiding something.

Yi Jinli furrowed his brows and just as he wanted to call for a doctor, Ling Yiran who was still in deep slumber abruptly opened her eyes as she sat upright, shouting, "Noooo..."

"Sister, what's wrong?" Yi Jinli asked.

In the next moment, Ling Yiran hugged Yi Jinli's waist tightly as if she were drowning. "Jin, that's great... it's you... it's you... I had a nightmare. I dreamed that I was in jail and those people would not let me go. I begged them, I... I even kowtowed to them but they continued to hit me..."

"Even in my dream, the pain was still so acute. Now that I'm awake, I can still feel my abdomen hurting."

She suddenly stopped mid-sentence and her entire body froze.

She had just realized that this was Yi Jinli not "Jin"! "The man I'm hugging now is Yi Jinli and the pain I suffered in jail was instigated... by him."

Ling Yiran released her arms stiffly and her body subconsciously shifted back.

And yet, in the next moment, his arm had already looped around her waist and he pulled her straight into his embrace. "Sister, are you afraid of me?"

As he hugged her, he could feel her body shivering slightly like a fragile small creature reacting when faced with a predator at the top of the food chain.

She bit her lip and struggled to suppress the fear within her. "Yes, I'm afraid," She then continued frankly, "I've been taught too many lessons in prison. Fear was beaten into me..."

"No one will ever beat you again," he said, interrupting her. "Sister, I promise that from now on, no one will dare hit you."
