Yi Jinli said, "Now that you've mentioned it, there's no harm in telling you." Even if he did not tell her now, she would know about it soon.
After all, it was not really a secret in Shen City's high society.
He might as well tell her himself rather than have someone else break the story to her.
"Gu Lichen is indeed looking for someone. He’s looking for a girl he knew when he was young, but he still hasn’t found her. You can say that his girlfriends are substitutes for that girl. Since he can't find the right person, he finds replacements to comfort himself instead," Yi Jinli said as he watched Ling Yiran's reaction.
Ling Yiran could not help furrowing her brows. "He's looking for a substitute for a little girl?"
"His ex-girlfriends look more or less like that little girl.”
"But they're not the one he's looking for. Is it fun to keep looking for substitutes?" she asked.
"Maybe he's too obsessed with it, or maybe he’s on the verge of despair. After all, maybe he doesn't even think he'll ever find that little girl again."
As Yi Jinli spoke, the conversation took another turn. "If you were that little girl and you knew there was such a person looking for you, what would you do?"
Ling Yiran was stunned for a moment. She had not thought about this assumption.
