The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1736

Qin Lianyi's heart trembled, feeling as though she was about to be bewitched by his voice. His embrace was so tight that he seemed to be trembling...

"I'm gonna slap you if you don't let go!" She bit her lip and made a threatening remark.

He suddenly chuckled and lifted his handsome face, which was instantly so close to her. "You can do it if you want."

She froze and stared blankly at the face that was right in front of her. She could slap him just by raising her hand but she could not bring herself to do it.

It was as if the feeling of the time she slapped him still lingered on her palm.

"Lianyi, do you know how much I’m suffering to embrace you like this?" he asked. The sarcasm had left his face, leaving only solemnity.

Then, she noticed that his face had turned pale and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"Are... you okay?" she asked.

Instead of answering her question, he said, "I'm not afraid of suffering. What I fear most in life is not being able to be with you. Do you... understand?"

Qin Lianyi took a deep breath and said sternly, "You wouldn't have broken up with me if what you fear most is not being able to be with me. Bai Tingxin, what you fear most is losing the wealth and power you've worked so hard to gain."

His eyes darkened, and his face seemed to grow paler. "How can I protect you if I don’t have all this wealth and power? Lianyi, you just don't understand how important these are!"
