It was as if he was afraid of something!
'What is he afraid of?
'Is it because of Hao Qirong? What Hao Qirong said last was...'
Ling Yiran suddenly seemed to have realized something and said, "Jin, are you... scared that I'll be angry?" she guessed.
His body stiffened suddenly, and his breathing became rapid.
However, he did not answer her, and his arms closed a little tighter around her.
Ling Yiran instantly knew she was right. It seemed to be because of what Hao Qirong had said at the end.
After all, Jin's reaction to what Hao Qirong had said earlier... The rage and murderous look in his eyes had been frightening.
It was as if Hao Qirong... had said something that crossed his bottom line.
"Don't worry, I won't be mad!" said Ling Yiran.
Yi Jinli's lips trembled, and even his voice quivered as he spoke, "You won't... get mad?"
"Yes, I won't." She smiled and lifted her hands to hold his face. "Hao Qirong probably came to look for you because of Haocui Garden today. I know you want to get justice for what happened to me back then, so you can rest assured that what he said won't affect our relationship."
He looked at her blankly. "Do you really not care about his words at all?"
"You didn't know me back then, did you? It didn't matter to you back then because I was only someone who had killed your fiancée. Those people only made it difficult for me in prison to please you."
Then everything else would probably have been different too.
"Let's talk to each other about everything from now on, okay? Jin, I don't want us to be like Sis Zhuo and Ye Wenming."
Yi Jinli pressed his thin lips together. "Did you see Ye Wenming again today?"
Ling Yiran said, "Yeah, I met him when I went to see Sis Zhuo, so I took him to meet the doctor who performed the so-called miscarriage operation on Kong Ziyin. Ye Wenming's reaction... It was just like what you said. He’s indeed in love with Sis Zhuo. But because he’s still in love with her, the truth hit him all the harder."
After a pause, Ling Yiran said, "If he had been willing to confront his feelings after falling in love with Sis Zhuo and talk to Sis Zhuo about their elders’ feud, they might not have arrived at this point.”
"But maybe it's best to keep some things hidden and keep the other party in the dark forever," muttered Yi Jinli.
