Xiao Yi pursed his lips and did not respond.
Xia Mo patted her head. “Oh no, Chief Editor Xia is going to have a blind date soon! Uncle Xiao, aren’t you going to go after her?”
Xiao Yi narrowed his long and dangerous looking eyes and said with a cold expression, “She has nothing to do with me.”
Huh? Was it not Chief Editor Xia?
Then was it Sister Mei?
But Sister Mei was older than Uncle Xiao, and she had a husband and children!
Xia Mo looked at Xiao Yi’s whose expression was unreadable, and she really could not understand!
…
Four Seasons Restaurant was an old shop, with classical and elegant decoration. Gentle and melodious music played inside and it was an excellent place for dates.
The person Xia Yanran was having the blind date with was a distant relative of Sister Mei’s family. He was the director of the surgery department in the city hospital and Sister Mei had mentioned this for a long time to Xia Yanran and she only agreed to this blind date before she went to the Capital.
Perhaps it was because Junyuan was a doctor, so Xia Yanran had a good impression and admiration for doctors.
Xia Yanran looked around and saw a man in glasses sitting by the window waving at her. Wearing a suit, glasses and a rose on the table.
It was the date Sister Mei talked about.
Xia Yanran walked over with a smile and greeted him politely, “Hello, I’m Xia Yanran. Sorry for being late.”
The man stood up in a gentlemanly manner and reached out a hand to shake Xia Yanran’s hand. “I’ve only just arrived myself. I’m Wen Qian.”
Like his name, Wen Qian looked gentle and modest, unlike Xiao Yi’s coldness and dominance.
Wen Qian only sat down after Xia Yanran had sat down. After asking about Xia Yanran’s preference, he ordered the food.
Xia Yanran was not a teenage girl anymore. When she was young, she might have wanted an unforgettable romantic relationship and for love, she was not even afraid of death.
But now, she was already twenty-eight years old. Her youth had been depleted in her last relationship and she just wanted to have a stable and peaceful life.
She did not want to be frightened anymore.
“Miss Xia, I heard from my Aunt that you’re looking for a partner for marriage?” Wen Qian went straight to the point.
Wen Qian’s words made Xia Yanran feel relieved as she did not like meaningless small talk. She smiled and nodded. “Yes, since I’m not that young anymore and if there is someone who gets along well with me, I will want to get married.”
Wen Qian looked at the beautiful Xia Yanran, who looked charming when she smiled. If he had not known her age from his aunt, he would have thought she was in her early twenties. Her skin was tender and well maintained. “I have such a plan too. I’ve been busy with work all these years and neglected my love life and my family are worried. My mom saw a gay couple getting married on the internet some time ago and she even wondered if I didn’t like women.”
Wen Qian was gentlemanly, intelligent and humorous. Xia Yanran had a good impression of him through their conversation. Sister Mei was right, Wen Qian was really an outstanding man.
When Xia Yanran was chatting with Wen Qian, a noise came from the restaurant door.
Xia Yanran looked back subconsciously.
More than a dozen people filed in from the restaurant entrance. Xia Yanran frowned when she saw the people who had come in.
It was her colleagues.
Was Xiao Yi treating them to a feast here?
Before coming, Xiao Yi had asked Xia Mo to book a private room. The colleagues knew that she was having a blind date so they did not disturb her.
Xia Yanran was about to look away when she saw Xiao Yi walking in with the evening glow.
Pretending not to see it, Xia Yanran looked away quickly.
…
Xiao Yi had answered a phone call outside and when he came in, he saw Xia Yanran.
Since she had her back towards the entrance of the restaurant, Xiao Yi could not see her expression.
Xiao Yi glanced at the man sitting opposite her. That person wore glasses and looked refined and intelligent. They seemed to be having a good chat and the atmosphere was good.
Xiao Yi narrowed his cold and dangerous eyes.
Just now when they were in the car, Xia Mo had given him Xia Yanran’s new phone number. Xiao Yi stood at the door and called the number with no expression on his face.
…
Xia Yanran was talking to Wen Qian when her phone rang suddenly. Looking at the caller ID, Xia Yanran’s heart jolted.
She had deleted his phone number when she broke up with him.
Although during this one year, she did not intentionally think about it, but as soon as the number appeared, she would know who it was.
She knew that some things could not be forgotten, even if she wanted them to be gone from her mind.
It was engraved deep into her bones and perhaps by carving out her bones could she really forget.
Wen Qian saw that Xia Yanran was staring at her phone but not picking it up, he asked with concern, “Miss Xia, are you all right?”
Xia Yanran smiled. “I’m fine.” She did not answer and rejected the call.
After hanging up, her phone rang again after ten seconds.
Xia Yanran hung up again and this time, put the number on her blacklist.
…
Xiao Yi saw that his call was hung up and when he called again, it did not get through. A trace of irritation and danger flashed past his eyes and his expression turned dark.
He looked in the direction of Xia Yanran. With his tongue against his cheek, he laughed.
…
Xia Yanran was a little distracted during the meal.
After dinner, Wen Qian said, “Miss Xia, if you’re free after this, let’s go watch a movie!”
Xia Yanran was in a daze. She had not seen a movie for quite some time except with Xiao Yi.
So she smiled and said, “Okay.”
Since she wanted to start over, she shouldn’t close herself up.
…
After greeting the staff in the room, Xiao Yi went out. When he looked over at Xia Yanran’s table, she was no longer there.
Xiao Yi walked over and the waitress who was clearing the table glanced at him. Xiao Yi then asked with a dark expression, “Where are they?”
The waitress looked at Xiao Yi and got a fright when she saw his dark expression and his cold and intimidating eyes.
This was a person not to be provoked.
“T-They left. I heard them say they were going to the movies…”
Xiao Yi’s expression darkened and a cold smirk appeared on his lips. Wasn’t their relationship developing too fast? They had just finished dinner and were going to the movies already!
…
Xia Yanran and Wen Qian arrived at the cinema and Wen Qian went to buy tickets. Xia Yanran sat in the rest area and waited.
After a while, she heard a voice that was clear and pleasant. “Chief Editor Xia.”
Xia Yanran looked up and saw Xia Mo skipping towards her. “You’re finished with dinner?”
Xia Mo nodded. “Mmm. I haven’t seen a movie for a long time so I pulled CEO Xiao to come with me.”
Xia Yanran glanced at the ticket counter and Xiao Yi was standing behind Wen Qian.
How could there be such a coincidence?
She came to watch a movie and Xiao Yi also brought Xia Mo to the movies?
What was he doing?
