The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1552

'Also, I don't even know this uncle. Why would he be happy to see me?'

Gu Lichen gently touched the little one's head. Then, he straightened up again. Those dark phoenix eyes gazed intently at Ling Yiran. "You're still alive, but why haven't I heard from you in these five years? Do you know how devastating it was when I thought you were dead and saw the Yi family give you a funeral?"

He had even gone to the ocean she fell into, thinking of jumping in to be with her!

Ling Yiran said, "I'm sorry I made you worry."

Gu Lichen's Adam's apple bobbed. His eyes that were looking at Ling Yiran were now red. "It's good that you're alive. It's good that you're alive..."

As he spoke, he unconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch her to make sure that she was alive and she was not just an illusion.

However, before his hand touched her, she already backed away slightly.

His expression changed a little. He saw the rejection in her eyes and instantly only tasted the bitterness in his mouth. "Is it because of Jinli?"

"Yes." Without hesitation, she replied, "I'm Jin's wife, and he's also the one I love the most."

Gu Lichen suddenly laughed, but his laughter sounded a little sad. "It's been five years and there was no news from you in those five years. You never even come back. Do you really love him? If you love him, why didn't you come back earlier?"

Ling Yiran took a deep breath and said, "I have my reasons, but no matter how many years have passed, I’ll still love him and always return to him. Lichen, it's been five years. You shouldn't continue wasting your time on me. It's not worth it, and it's unnecessary."

A touch of pain flitted across those phoenix eyes. "It's not up to you to decide if it's worth it. I know better than anyone whether it's necessary."
