The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1828

She remembered how she often quipped, "Bai Tingxin, do you think we'll still kiss like this when we're in our 70s and 80s? Would we be tired of each other and no longer kiss?"

Each time, he would say gently, "We won't get tired of each other. Lianyi, I will still kiss you when you're old. I will always kiss until I close my eyes and leave this world."

However... she and he would never have that. Not five years ago, not now.

Qin Lianyi did not resist or struggle but let Bai Tingxin deepen the kiss.

It was like a farewell to her—a farewell to the relationship.

When the kiss finally ended, Qin Lianyi heard Bai Tingxin's hoarse voice say, "Lianyi, you still love me, don't you? Do you know how badly I’ve been wanting to kiss you like how I just did?"

After five years, he could finally touch her like this again without the pain of the blood curse.

"Lianyi, do you know that I chose to break up with you not only because I wanted to regain control of the Bai family and have what it takes to protect you in the future, but also because—"

However, before he could finish, Qin Lianyi interrupted him. "If your idea of protecting me is dating another woman, then I would rather not have such protection."

"What do you mean it's not what I think? No one told me about this. I saw it with my own eyes. I saw her go into your mansion last night and leave this morning." Qin Lianyi laughed bitterly and said, "Are you still going to tell me you have nothing to do with her? Are you going to say that although she stayed in your mansion the entire night, nothing happened between you two?”

"What if I say yes? I have nothing to do with her. She did spend the night at the mansion, but nothing happened between us! Lianyi, don’t you believe me?" he said.

However, her answer disappointed him.

"How am I supposed to believe you? Bai Tingxin, do you think I'm gullible? When we were dating, you told me we would never break up. I believed you, but then you broke up with me! Now, you want me to believe you again. You want me to believe that you and Gao Manlin have nothing to do with each other and that you broke up with me so I could live? What a shame that I won't believe a word of it!"
