The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1875

She replied in a mutter, "Yeah, I can't bear to do it."

The vegetable beef soup was soon ready. They sat down at the dining table. Yi Jinli took the chopsticks and spoons. They began to eat.

"Jin, do you believe me?" Ling Yiran asked suddenly.

"As long as you don't do anything to betray me, then I’ll always trust you," said Yi Jinli.

Ling Yiran's hands tightened as she held the chopsticks. "What if I... have to betray you one day? If many reasons cause me to inadvertently betray you, will you..." She pressed her lips together and said with difficulty, "Will you forgive me?"

"What if I don't forgive you?" he seemed to ask casually as he continued to drink the vegetable beef soup she made.

Her fingers instantly loosened, and the chopsticks in her hand clattered onto the table.

He glanced at the chopsticks and then her face. "What's the matter? Are you shocked to hear me say that?"

'Shocked... Yeah, I'm shocked.' Ling Yiran acquiesced.

Yi Jinli said, "Anyone in this world can betray me. Congming, Uncle Kwan, even Lil Mo, and the other children. But not you, Yiran. You're the only one who can't betray me."

Ling Yiran was instantly stunned, never expecting to hear him say such a thing.

"I'm the only one... who can't?" she muttered.

The moonlight shone on him through the window, and his sleeping face looked so peaceful that her eyes caught sight of the scar underneath his night robe.

She gently pulled open the collar of his robe and quietly peered at the scar. His mother had given it to him in the past. Was she giving him another one now?

She bent over and kissed his scar with her lips.

"Jin, I'm sorry," she murmured and got up to leave, not noticing the fingers beside her quivering slightly.

...

Ling Yiran walked out of Yi Residence unimpeded. The security guards on night watch would not bother the mistress even though they saw her.
