Chapter 2428

She could not see his expression now, but his voice and body movements seemed to indicate that he minded this a lot. Ling Yiran thought and said, "Maybe." "I thought you would say no," he muttered. "I don't want to lie to you. We agreed to be honest at all times," she said. His arm tightened around her. "If only I was your childhood sweetheart and had met you earlier..." "Even if I did have childhood sweethearts, I would still fall for you all the same," said Ling Yiran. "Really? You’re not just saying that to cheer me up, are you?" He looked up and stared at her intently. She smiled and cupped his face. "Didn't I say I wouldn't lie to you? Speaking of which, I wish I had met you sooner. If I had met you when I was little, you certainly would’ve been so cute!" Yi Jinli's ears reddened slightly. She was the only one who would describe him as cute! Just then, Ling Yiran's phone rang suddenly. Ling Yiran looked at her phone and saw an unfamiliar number. When she answered it, she heard Gu Lichen’s voice. "Yiran? I have a lead on Xia Xi." "What?"

He’s nearby the place where Xia Xi is being held," said Ling Yiran. Yi Jinli's eyes glimmered. They had just mentioned Gu Lichen and he had found the person they were looking for. Even though they had already settled the matters between them, Gu Lichen... still could not let go of his feelings for Yiran. He found Xia Xi earlier than Shen Weifang and him. It could only mean that Gu Lichen had sent someone to keep an eye on Xia Xi earlier. "What now? Are you going over?" he asked. "Yeah, it's urgent. I want to go over and see what's going on. Why don't you continue having fun with the kids?" Ling Yiran said. Yi Jinli said, "I'll go with you. I can help you if there's any trouble." "But..."
