If it were in the past, he would have chosen to lock her up and keep her with him forever with no hesitation. However, when you love someone so deeply, you would feel unbearably miserable when they were miserable.
Ling Yiran's heart ached. Although it was just a hypothetical situation, she thought it was cruel to make him answer it upon hearing him say this.
"You won't drive yourself insane, and I won't leave you!" She flung her arms open and embraced him hard.
Yi Jinli looked down at the person hugging him, and a smile appeared on his lips. He slowly leaned over and rested his head on her shoulder. "You won't leave me, and I won't leave you."
Ling Yiran hugged him for quite a long time before calming down. Then, she laughed at herself. "Hey, what's wrong with us? We were just talking about Sis Zhuo and Ye Wenming, but..."
She paused. "Is Ye Wenming really going to do that to Sis Zhuo?"
"Maybe." It was all Yi Jinli could say.
After all, he was not Ye Wenming, and his assumption might not be 100% accurate. Besides, the human heart was fickle. Anything could change.
"Then..." Ling Yiran hesitated as if she was wondering what to say.
"What's the matter? Do you want me to help you? Do you want to protect Zhuo Qianyun if Ye Wenming is going to force Zhuo Qianyun?" Yi Jinli seemed to have read her mind.
"Yeah." She nodded. "But this will cause conflicts between the Yi family and the Ye family, which might impact the Yi family's business."
After all, Ye Wenming was influential in the market. If the Ye family did declare war on the Yi family, it was hard to say how much the Yi family's businesses would be affected and how much they would lose.
'But... Sis Zhuo!' Ling Yiran pitied Sis Zhuo.
Besides, everyone had concerns about her ex-convict identity when she was looking for a job back then. Only Sis Zhuo was willing to give her a chance and treat her with kindness.
Sis Zhuo was kind to her, and she wanted to protect Sis Zhuo as best she could.
