The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 17

Ling Yiran felt as if her fingertip was about to catch fire. It was very hot, and her heart was pounding violently.

"Oh no! What's happening to me?!"

She withdrew her hand, her face blushing as she said, "All... all right. Let's tuck in lest the dishes get cold." After saying that, she lowered her head and started eating.

Yi Jinli smiled when he saw that Ling Yiran's face was almost buried in the bowl. His smile deepened as he asked, "Do you like me, Sister?"

"I like you," Ling Yiran replied without hesitation.

"I like you too, Sister. I like you very much," Yi Jinli said as he curled his lips into a smile. It had been ages since he had last found someone who could interest him.

...

After the inspection from the Urban Management Bureau ended, Miao Jiayu told Ling Yiran, "Yiran, we will be having a gathering with our high school classmates this weekend. Come and join us."

"A gathering?" Ling Yiran laughed. Given her current condition, she would be mocked if she were to go to the gathering. "No. I'm not free, and I won't be going," Ling Yiran replied.

"This kind of gathering with our high school classmates is rare. What is it you're busy with? Come and join us!" Miao Jiayu tried to persuade her, sighing lightly. It was apparent that she wanted Ling Yiran to attend the gathering.

If the previous super scholar and prettiest girl in the class were to attend the gathering in her current state, everybody would be shocked. Miao Jiayu couldn't wait for their high school classmates to see Ling Yiran in her pathetic condition.

"I need to work over the weekend. Do you really think that weekends would be rest days for me given the scope of my job?" Ling Yiran asked.

Miao Jiayu was speechless when she heard that. Indeed, she had forgotten.

"However..."

"I'm clearing the rubbish. Let's talk another time." Before Miao Jiayu could finish her statement, Ling Yiran turned to leave.

She was not stupid. She knew Miao Jiayu's intentions.

However, no matter how hard she tried to avoid it, the vice director instructed her to send a document over to someone from the Urban Management Bureau at the weekend at a Luxury Club in Shen City.

Ordinary sanitation workers were not allowed to enter such a luxurious club. However, when Ling Yiran went to the entrance, a staff member was already waiting for her, and he led her in through a side door.

When the staff member opened the door to a private room, many people were inside.

When Ling Yiran stepped in, she heard a familiar voice, saying, "Look who's here!"

Ling Yiran saw Miao Jiayu, Zhao Mantian, and some of her high school classmates. Miao Jiayu was the one who spoke.

Ling Yiran knew immediately that Miao Jiayu had deliberately made the arrangement. As she was from the Urban Management Bureau, the supervisors would be eager to get into her good books. As long as Miao Jiayu wanted a document and specified the person she wanted to bring it to her, the vice director would accede to her request.

"See! I didn't lie to you. The prettiest girl in our class has become a sanitation worker!" Zhao Mantian said, looking snobbish.

At that moment, Ling Yiran's uniform completely stood out from the attire of the rest of the people in the private room.

"Isn't this our beautiful super scholar? You were imprisoned for three years and I almost couldn't recognize you. Xiao Ziqi used to dote on you. What happened? Why did he allow you to be a sanitation worker? Doesn't he care for you?"

Ling Yiran's body froze. Whenever she heard Xiao Ziqi's name being mentioned, she felt like she was being pricked in the heart.

The person who spoke walked over to Ling Yiran and Ling Yiran saw that it was Shen Wanhao. Shen Wanhao's family was reputable in Shen City and he had tried to woo her once before.

After she had gotten into a relationship with Xiao Ziqi, Shen Wanhao had tried to molest her. It was only after Xiao Ziqi had taught him a lesson that Shen Wanhao had started to behave himself and stopped creating trouble for her.

Ling Yiran ignored Shen Wanhao. She walked over to Miao Jiayu and handed the document over to her, saying, "This is the document that you asked for."

Miao Jiayu smiled hypocritically. After taking the document, she said, "Yiran, sorry to have had you make the trip."

When Ling Yiran turned around and was about to leave the room, Shen Wanhao suddenly caught hold of her arm, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? This is our gathering. Let's catch up."

After saying that, he took a glass of red wine and put it to Ling Yiran's lips, saying, "Come on, drink up this glass of wine. Back then, you were convicted of driving under the influence. Don't tell me that you can't drink!"

Ling Yiran refused to open her mouth. She turned her head and pushed him away.

Shen Wanhao lost his balance and spilled the red wine down himself. He became angry and gave Ling Yiran one tight slap in the face, shouting, "Ugh! Do you think you're still Xiao Ziqi's girlfriend? You're merely a sanitation worker. You don't know what's good for you!"

As Shen Wanhao was shouting, he took up the bottle of red wine beside him and poured it down Ling Yiran's head.

The cold wine soaked her body, embarrassing her.

Miao Jiayu smiled, saying, "Ling Yiran, apologize to Shen Wanhao quickly. He may forgive you."

"Apologize?" Ling Yiran found the idea ridiculous. She was being humiliated, but she was expected to apologize to Shen Wanhao!

Ling Yiran pursed her lips, her Almond Eyes looking bright. She looked determined not to give in despite being humiliated.

However, her expression caused Shen Wanhao to only become more infuriated as he said, "Ling Yiran, do you think that you're still Xiao Ziqi's girlfriend? I'm giving you a chance to apologize to me. Even if I raped you right here, no one would stand up for you!"

Shen Wanhao pushed Ling Yiran to the floor, and a ripping sound soon followed. Ling Yiran's top was torn open, revealing her flesh.

"No!" Ling Yiran screamed.

However, none of her classmates spoke for her, let alone stood up for her.

She hadn't been exposed to any sunlight during her three years of imprisonment, making her fairer than anyone. However, she was also covered with scars.

Some of the scars had not faded away, looking petrifying.
