He knew he was jealous, terribly jealous!
That was why he did such a thing and said something like that after going out of control.
'The Gao family... Gao Manlin... Since Gao Manlin chose this way to test me, there's no need for me to drag it on any longer.'
Even though his plan would be more secure after a little more time, he did not want Lianyi to be criticized and suffer any more harm. Hence, he would end things now!
...
It was already nighttime when Ling Yiran learned that her best friend's incident had become hot gossip. Yi Jinli casually mentioned it, and she took out her phone to read the news.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Bai Tingxin is just causing her trouble by doing all that. Does he think he's helping Lianyi by doing that?" asked Ling Yiran.
"He's not an impulsive person. Since he dared to take Qin Lianyi away in public today, then he must be prepared," Yi Jinli said meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Ling Yiran asked, puzzled.
"If the one Bai Tingxin loves is Qin Lianyi and he only broke up with her for the Gao family's power, do you think someone like Bai Tingxin will be content having the Gao family manipulate him all the time?" asked Yi Jinli.
Ling Yiran froze. "Is he going to have a falling out with the Gao family?"
"He’s about to marry the Gao family. Now that such news has broken out, what he should do is distance himself from Qin Lianyi, but he did the opposite. Either he has lost his mind, or he's ready to have a falling out with the Gao family," analyzed Yi Jinli.
Qin Lianyi paused slightly before speaking, "It has nothing to do with me. I'll think of this as having a few days off for myself. Once this is over, I'll make it clear to Bai Tingxin that he should stop."
"Are you sure you won't consider it if he breaks up with Gao Manlin?" Ling Yiran asked hesitantly. After all, she knew how deep Lianyi's feelings for Bai Tingxin were.
Qin Lianyi murmured, "No. We’ve never had anything in common, and we want different things. Besides, five years have passed. Many feelings have changed."
Ling Yiran stopped speaking after hearing that. After all, the speculation about Bai Tingxin was only from Jin's analysis.
"If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. Lianyi, I can protect you now!" she said.
