The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1382

"Xiao Ziqi..." Yi Jinli's mouth spat out these two words. "He betrayed you, but... if he hadn't betrayed you, would you be married to him now?"

"No," said Ling Yiran.

"Are you so sure?"

“I was young. I didn't know how much the words ‘equal status’ meant. Now that I think about it, even though I was Xiao Ziqi's girlfriend at that time, his parents would’ve never let him marry me and let me join the Xiao family."

Ling Yiran looked back and sighed at herself for being too naive.

"What's more, Xiao Ziqi didn't have that much affection for me either. He may have had some affection for me, but maybe he just found me fresh and interesting. He wouldn’t go against his parents or give up everything he had in the Xiao family for me. That's why he was able to distance himself so quickly after the incident."

"So would you have married him if he had gone against his parents’ wishes and given up everything in the Xiao family for you?" Now, Yi Jinli was the jealous one. That handsome face of his was full of concern.

Ling Yiran could not help but laugh. "Do you think everyone is like you? That won't happen. I don’t think a man who treats me as a sacrifice can be so affectionate with me.”

His hands around her tightened a little more.

Yi Jinli muttered, "The Xiao family won’t be able to enjoy their lives much longer. Since they want someone of equal status, they can share their status with the Hao family."

Ling Yiran was stunned. She looked up at Yi Jinli, asking, "Are you going to do something to the Xiao family?"

"The Xiao family won't appear in Shen City's high society anymore. Since the Xiao family wants to be in the same boat as the Hao family, it's only natural that the Xiao family can forget about having it easy now that the Hao family has sunk," Yi Jinli said with a faint smile, but there was something resolute and fierce in his tone.
