Ling Yiran was stunned. She had just met him when she said that. He was gentle, careful, and never cared about the fact that she had been in prison. She thought he was a good man, but actually… there was a side to him that was scheming and cold-hearted. He had blood on his hands… He could never be a good man.
"Tell me, what will you do if I involve Guo Xinli?' he asked, testing her.
Her almond-shaped eyes stared at him with a certain determination. "Don't lay a hand on Guo Xinli. Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"
She could only threaten him with herself!
His face darkened more and more. "You overreact when it's just about Guo Xinli. Are you still going to deny that you care about him?"
'Care about him?' Ling Yiran asked herself. She did not have any special feelings for Guo Xinli, or maybe there was something simple and ordinary about him that made her wish for his safety.
The more you experienced darkness, the more you would feel that being simple and ordinary was the most valuable quality!
"I just don't want anyone to suffer because of me, and I don't want to be burdened with guilt," said Ling Yiran as she tried to play it down.
Yi Jinli pondered about it for a moment, then smiled. 'Then it seems that I can't do anything to Guo Xinli so that you won't feel guilty about him and think about him so often. However..."
His voice lingered. "You care about Qin Lianyi, Zhuo Qianyun, and her son. Now, there's another Guo Xinli. What about me? Where do I rank in your heart? Will you be so protective of me one day?"
"You're the high and mighty Young Master Yi. You don't need me to protect you," she replied.
"What if I insist? You once said you'd protect me," he said.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she lowered her eyes slowly. The corner of her lips curled as she said with self-mockery, "As you can see, I can't even protect myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't be your Sis again now."
