Yi Jinli said truthfully, "It's one of the Yi family's old mansions. However, very few people know about this place, and the Yi family has never announced it to the public."
She could not help frowning. 'Is he implying that an outsider would have a hard time finding out that he's keeping me here?'
"Besides, you're not the only one who's locked up in this mansion," he said.
She blinked. 'What does that mean?'
"A woman was once locked up in here too. This mansion was bought to keep that woman here," Yi Jinli said as if he was telling her a story.
Ling Yiran was stunned. She felt a chill enveloping her body. 'Another woman… was locked up in here too?'
"It was probably around 70 years ago. One of the Yi family's ancestors fell in love with a woman, but she already had a fiancé and the couple was very much in love. Therefore, this ancestor kidnapped the woman and locked her up in this mansion, guarding her day and night just to make her fall in love with him."
Yi Jinli's voice had always been cold, and when it rang in the large vintage dining room, it gave off an air of cold depression.
She had found the place vintage and elegant when she was first brought here.
However, she felt differently after hearing him say so.
"What happened… afterward?" She heard herself asking somewhat hoarsely.
"Afterward, that woman fell in love with the Yi family's ancestor and managed to leave this place," he said as he stared at her. "What about you? Do you want to get out of here too?"
