Xiao Yi’s goal was simple, that was, to let Xia Yanran live like a queen in the future. Like that, she could go to work if she wanted to, or not go if she did not want to.
He wanted to give her everything that other women had.
Xiao Yi never liked to talk about these things. He was a man who would fulfill his ideas. But Tang Chao’s words reminded him that feelings needed to be heated too.
Xiao Yi came out of the clubhouse, his tall body leaning against the marble pillar. He was looking down, holding his phone and calling Xia Yanran.
He had one hand in his pants pocket, the other holding his phone, his well-defined face and facial features under the dim light were like an exquisite carving. His slightly drunk looking eyes were deep and dark, and was able to make people feel that he was aloof yet charming just by standing there.
The call got through but no one answered.
He frowned slightly and his sexy red lips pursed into a straight line.
A horn sounded.
Xiao Yi looked up. Tang Chao had already gotten into the car and he lowered the car window, beckoning to Xiao Yi. “Brother Xiao, get in the car.”
Xiao Yi’s call was automatically hung up because no one answered it.
He called again. It rang for a long time, but still, no one answered.
Xiao Yi stuffed his phone back into his pants pocket with a slightly dark expression and pulled open the car door.
His jaw was clenched tight, showing his unhappiness and thus, there was a cold and menacing air coming from him.
Tang Chao used his elbow to poke at Xiao Yi. “Brother Xiao, look at who’s driving?”
Xiao Yi had on an expression that seemed to say ‘I’m not in a good mood now, don’t provoke me’. He had one hand on his head and did not look at the person who was driving.
The person who was driving looked at Xiao Yi through the rearview mirror and said in a slightly embarrassed manner, “Brother Xiao Yi.”
Xiao Yi put down the hand on his forehand, his eyebrows raised slightly. “Yi Ran?”
“Yes, I applied to your company and now I’m working under your assistant as an intern. Your assistant is busy tonight and asked me to pick up you and Young Master Tang.”
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes. “Didn’t you just start university?”
“I look young, but I’m actually twenty years old. I skipped a grade when I was in junior high.”
Tang Chao chimed in, “You’re quite outstanding.”
“Young Master Tang, you flatter me.”
Xiao Yi was not paying attention to Yi Ran and after brushing her off with a few words, he thought about Xia Yanran again.
What the hell was that woman doing?
It was fine that she was giving him the cold treatment, but she’s not even answering her phone now?
…
On Xia Yanran’s side.
After entertaining several clients, she had drunk a little too much. At the end of the gathering, she threw up in the hotel’s washroom.
It happened that Xia Mo was also here at the hotel for a meal. When she saw Xia Yanran in the washroom, she quickly held her. “Sister Yanran, why did you drink so much?”
Xia Yanran’s head was turning and her flushed face came close to Xia Mo, looking at her closely and then laughed. “Momo?”
Xia Mo nodded. “It’s me, Sister Yanran.”
“I haven’t seen you for a while, where have you been lately?”
“I went back to Hong Kong and then went for a vacation.”
“No wonder I didn’t see you looking for my brother…”
Xia Mo was a little embarrased. “Sister Yanran, don’t laugh at me. Are you okay? Is there anyone to take you back?”
Xia Yanran waved her hands. “I’m fine, I’m fine. I’ll take a taxi back.”
When Xia Mo saw that Xia Yanran was so drunk that she was unable to walk steadily, how could she rest assured and let her take a taxi back? Helping Xia Yanran to her sports car, Xia Mo drove to Xia Yanran’s apartment.
