His gaze made Ling Yiran feel a pang in her heart. ‘Has he misunderstood something?'
"Why trap Yiran if you don't love her?" Gu Lichen faced Yi Jinli. "Or are you trying to deny ever having said you don’t love her?”
Yi Jinli pressed his thin lips tightly as he stared at Gu Lichen.
The two men confronted each other.
Ling Yiran tried to pull her arm out of Gu Lichen's hand, but Gu Lichen's fingers were so tightly wrapped around her that she could not do so.
Yi Qianjin, who was standing beside Ling Yiran, was visibly scared. Her small hand held Ling Yiran's other hand tightly while her small face grew pale.
Suddenly, Yi Jinli's thin lips curved as he sneered, "So what if I said that?"
As he spoke, he walked up to Gu Lichen, grabbed the man’s hand, and said, "Even if I don't love her, Ling Yiran is still my wife. She can't go anywhere as long as I don't let her!"
"Even you can't stop her if she wants to go!" said Gu Lichen. It was because he would do anything to help her leave.
She occupied his heart. It was alright if Jinli could give her happiness. However, he did not want to miss out on Yiran again if Jinli did not love Ling Yiran.
"Well, then let’s see if I can stop her or not!" Yi Jinli said coldly. Then, he told the subordinate behind him, "Carry the little young lady away!"
His subordinate responded and went over to carry Yi Qianjin away.
Ling Yiran said with great certainty, "Yes, I won't leave him. I'll never leave unless he asks me to leave one day."
"You..." Gu Lichen was stunned. "Do you love him that much? How am I any worse than him? He doesn't have to love you, but I can't do it. I met you first... and... I looked for you for years..."
Ling Yiran was silent. There was no first come, first serve in relationships.
Gu Lichen was persistent about her and she believed he was sincere. However, her heart had no place for him.
Her silence made Yi Jinli's eyebrows furrow slightly.
