Ling Yiran suddenly found it hilarious when she heard everything the two men said. 'Why is it up to others to decide whether I should learn about the truth I deserve to know?’
"Jin..." The word escaped her mouth softly. The volume was soft as usual.
However, it made the two men in the hall below stiffen instantly.
The two men looked up almost at the same time and looked in Ling Yiran's direction.
Their expressions instantly changed. Gu Lichen was worried and frustrated. After all, he had not intended to let others hear this. Yi Jinli had also asked all the maids to leave the main house for the same reason.
The purpose was to make sure no one would overhear their conversation.
However, sometimes, the more you were afraid of something, the more it would happen!
Yi Jinli looked at Ling Yiran standing at the top of the stairway with astonishment. His face was pale, and all his blood seemed to have frozen when he heard the word ‘Jin’.
'Jin... Jin...'
As much as he liked hearing her call him that, he was afraid to hear it now.
He had taken precautions against his maids and butler but not her!
He thought she would sleep a little longer and not wake up so soon. He had forgotten to think of the possibility that she might wake earlier.
'Why? Why am I so careless?
The way he looked and what she had just heard was enough for Ling Yiran to understand what the truth was.
Even so, she took a deep breath while her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with tears. "Tell me if what Gu Lichen said is true."
His lips trembled, and he opened his mouth. However, he did not know how to answer.
"Was Hao Yimeng the real perpetrator?" Ling Yiran continued asking.
Only then did he speak. "Yiran, I... I can explain. I..." His voice, which should have been elegant and gentle, was now hoarse.
"Was it Hao Yimeng?" she asked persistently.
