The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 718

"I just happened to meet him. Then, I almost fell, so I grabbed his hand by accident. After that, I had another headache..." she tried to explain to him what had happened, lest he would misunderstand her.

"Were those things you said to him really nonsense?" he asked again.

She was stunned. Her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she could not get the words out!

'Nonsense? It wasn’t nonsense. It was what the little girl said to the little boy in my dreams.

'However, how am I supposed to answer that question?

'I don't want to lie to him, but I don't want him to misunderstand the situation before I find out the truth.

"Why, is that a hard question to answer?" Her silence made him raise his head slightly. His dark bright eyes just stared at her.

"I... Was so dazed by the pain that I can’t even remember what I said," said Ling Yiran. This was true.

As for the rest, she might have to wait until she found out the truth before she could give him an answer.

"Is that so?" he muttered as he continued to rub her bruises. "However, your hand gripped his so tightly just now, even with the headache."

"It was just an unconscious grip because I was about to fall, so it was like grasping a lifeline..." she explained eagerly.

However, the more she explained, the more his face darkened.

"When did Gu Lichen become your lifeline?" he asked. When she uttered the word ‘lifeline’, panic had crept into his mind.

The image of her gripping Gu Lichen's hand flashed before his eyes again.

For a moment, he felt as if he was unnecessary.
