The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 16

Ling Yiran's body froze. Whenever she heard the names of those two people, she felt as if she were having a nightmare!

She knew about the six-carat diamond ring, as she had seen it in the news. Even if she had tried to avoid reading the news about the two of them, she would see mentions of it when she used her mobile phone to search for information.

Back then, when she and Xiao Ziqi were in the jewelry shop, she had seen the pink diamond. Xiao Ziqi had told her, "Yiran, if you like it, I'll buy it for you as our marriage ring."

However, Xiao Ziqi and the diamond ring did not belong to her.

"Yiran... are you going home?" A man's bashful voice resounded in Ling Yiran's ears.

Ling Yiran lifted her head and saw a man of about 30 years old smiling shyly at her. He had short hair and wore the uniform of the fleet.

Ling Yiran was taken aback. Suddenly, she recalled that he was Guo, from the Sanitation Service Center's fleet.

"Yes," Ling Yiran replied.

"I'm free. Let me send you home," Guo Xinli said, mustering up his courage.

Ling Yiran remembered Sister Xu telling her that Guo was interested in her. "Is Guo trying to woo me?" However, Ling Yiran had no intention to get into a relationship.

"You don't have to." Ling Yiran turned him down.

"It's all right. I have a car. It's convenient for me to send you back," Guo Xinli said immediately as he made a second attempt.

"Huh! Your car is too cheap. She wants to sit in a luxury car. If you could buy her a six-carat diamond ring, she would let you send her back," Fang Qianqian from the Department of Tools said with envy.

Guo Xinli's face immediately turned red, not knowing what to say.

Ling Yiran glanced at Fang Qianqian and said, "In that case, if someone wishes to send you home and you turn him down, it must be because it's not a luxury car and there's no six-carat diamond ring! Or, will you accept anyone who wishes to send you home?"

"You..." Fang Qianqian was rendered speechless as she glared at Ling Yiran.

Ling Yiran turned to Guo Xinli and said, "Thank you. However, I live nearby and I'm used to walking home." After saying that, she turned to leave.

On the way home, Ling Yiran bought some lean meat and vegetables. After she returned to the rental apartment, she cooked vegetables and lean meat porridge and had dinner with Yi Jinli.

"Did you still have gastric pain today?" Ling Yiran asked out of concern.

"No. It's no longer painful," Yi Jinli replied.

"Take the medicine for another day to stabilize your condition. In the future, you must eat your three meals on time. You can't be distributing leaflets for a living. Go get a more stable job." Ling Yiran continued, "Shall I help you check on the Internet to see if there are any suitable jobs for you?"

"It's all right. I will look around," Yi Jinli said. "If Sister wants me to get a stable job, I'll do that."

"Good boy!" Ling Yiran lifted her hand and touched Yi Jinli's head, smiling happily.

She felt that it was wonderful to have a younger brother.

Yi Jinli was shocked. As he looked at her, there seemed to be a layer of fog over his eyes. When Ling Yiran touched his head, he felt that she was treating him like a kid. No one had touched his head in a long time.

It was only when he was very young that his father had touched his head, telling him, "Jin, you must be strong. You must be stronger than anyone and not be a weakling like me."

"That's right. I must be strong and ruthless. Only by doing so can I get what I want and not end up like my father."
