Chapter 1048: Lover
Xiao Yi looked at her tears and had the urge to let her go.
But, like what he had said, after ten years of entanglement, how could he bear to let her go that easily?
Xiao Yi raised his hand and wiped her tears away. He lowered his head and bit her lip. This time, he did not go deep but pressed against her lips, his voice low and a little wild. “You can think of me as selfish and unreasonable. Yanran, as long as I’m alive, you can’t stop what I want to do and who I want to get!”
Xia Yanran suddenly felt a sense of helplessness deep in heart and the blood in her body froze.
He was still that ‘devil’ she first knew. He was unreasonable!
Unable to communicate with him, Xia Yanran pushed him away.
This time, he did not stop her, and Xia Yanran fled in a panic.
Xiao Yi leaned against the desk, looking at Xia Yanran’s departing back and his eyes turned dark. The door was closed with a bang.
Her figure disappeared from his sight and he took out a cigarette, lowered his head and lit it. His heart gradually returned to a pool of stagnant water.
Xia Yanran…
How I wished I had never met you.
…
After Xia Yanran left the office, she went straight to the washroom. Turning on the tap, she splashed her face with the cold water.
Raising her head, she looked at herself in the mirror, and her eyes were slightly red.
After calming down, Xia Yanran went back to the office.
When she passed by Bai Tongtong’s seat, Bai Tongtong was glaring at her.
Although she did not know what happened in CEO Xiao’s office, when Chief Editor Xia walked past her, she could smell a faint smell of tobacco on her with her keen nose.
That was what CEO Xiao smell like.
From Bai Tongtong’s experience, Chief Editor Xia must had seduced CEO Xiao.
Shameless! Absolutely shameless!
Other than Sister Mei, Chief Editor Xia was the oldest among the female colleagues in the company. Although she was good-looking and had a good figure, how could she dare to snatch a man from a younger woman!
Xia Yanran did not notice Bai Tongtong’s gaze. She returned to her desk and was about to turn on her computer when her phone rang.
It was her younger sister, Xia Tang.
After graduating from university, Xia Tang, who loved singing, was scouted and went to a media company of a large organization to be a trainee.
Almost two years had passed but the company had not let Xia Tang officially debut. She recently participated in a female group idol trainee program and Xia Yanran heard that if her popularity in the finals was high, she could officially debut.
“Sister, my throat doesn’t feel that good. I’m at the hospital.”
As soon as Xia Yanran heard that Xia Tang was in the hospital, she quickly picked up her bag and went out of the office.
When she arrived at the hospital, Xia Tang had finished her checkup. Xia Yanran saw that her face was slightly pale and asked worriedly, “What happened?”
“The doctor said that I might have drunk something that damaged my throat, but fortunately I only took a sip. I’ll be better with a few days of rest, but it will be the first round of the competition in two days. I’m a little worried about not performing well.”
Xia Yanran furrowed her eyebrows.
Although she only worked in the newspaper company, she knew a thing or two about the darkness of the entertainment industry.
Her sister had a problem in her throat at this juncture, someone must have tried to ruin her good voice.
After coming out from the hospital, Xia Yanran took Xia Tang to the computer city and bought a miniature surveillance camera for Xia Tang. “When you go back, put this in the cupboard where you usually put water and don’t let the other trainees see it. You’re too pure, you must be on guard and protect yourself. You’re lucky this time to have only drank a little bit. If you drank more, wouldn’t your throat be permanently damaged?”
Xia Tang nodded. “Sister, I know. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”
Xia Yanran was still worried about Xia Tang and sent her to the trainee’s dormitory.
“Sister, I will take care of myself. Go back to work!” Xia Tang hugged Xia Yanran.
Xia Yanran nodded. “I’ll watch you go in.”
Xia Tang jogged towards the elevator and when she was almost at the elevator, she turned back to look at Xia Yanran, who was still standing at the entrance, and waved. When she turned back, she knocked into the person who had come out of the elevator.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you blind?”
The one who spoke was the trainee who was most popular, Ye Qiaoqiao. She had been in advertisements and music videos since she was young and her sister, Ye Feifei, was a top singer in the entertainment industry. She was naturally the center of attention. At every event, she was the darling of media interviews.
In front of the cameras, she was a youthful fairy, but in private, she was an arrogant and contemptuous young lady.
Xia Tang was well-behaved and she did not want to create trouble. Lowering her head, she apologized.
“I really don’t know what the program team is thinking. Even people like you can come in as trainees. Tsch.”
Xia Tang lowered her head and said nothing.
“Qiaoqiao, forget it.”
Xia Tang looked up and saw a tall and beautiful woman in sunglasses coming out of the elevator. It was Ye Feifei, the queen of pop who was popular all over Asia.
Ye Qiaoqiao held Ye Feifei’s arm affectionately and glared at Xia Tang. “What are you looking at, country bumpkin?”
With that, Ye Qiaoqiao flounced off with Ye Feifei.
Xia Yanran saw that Xia Tang seemed to have clashed with someone at the elevator. She strode towards the hall and suddenly saw Ye Feifei.
Ye Feifei was made popular by Xiao Yi. Last year when Xia Yanran was still with Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi appeared at a public event with Ye Feifei by his side. He had made her into her status as the queen of pop from a B to C lister as a young star.
Ye Feifei did not know Xia Yanran. As she passed by Xia Yanran, Xia Yanran heard her say to Ye Qiaoqiao, “Why were you being bothered by a country bumpkin? Don’t talk to a person like her in the future. So what if she has talent? Did she still want to think about debuting with her awkward appearance? I’m afraid her legs will be weak before even getting on stage!”
Xia Yanran frowned. Who were they calling country bumpkin? Was it Xia Tang?
Xia Yanran glanced at the elevator and Xia Tang had entered the elevator. Xia Yanran turned back to look at the figure of the sisters. She pursed her lips and went towards the entrance.
A black Bentley drove up to Ye Feifei and Ye Qianqian. Xia Yanran saw a man in a suit get out of the car.
Xia Yanran was no stranger to that man. He was Long Ye, Second Master Qin’s confidant and had worked with Xiao Yi to deal with Second Master Qin. Now, he was the second-in-command of Xiao Yi’s organization.
He opened the car door personally for the two sisters and only got back into the car after they had gotten in.
Did Long Ye come to pick up the sisters for Xiao Yi?
Xia Yanran did ont want to think much about it. She planned to return to her car when suddenly a horn sounded.
A cool sports car braked suddenly and stopped in front of Xia Yanran. The car window came down, revealing Xiao Yi’s handsome and cold face. Xia Yanran was stunned.
“Why are you here?”
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows. “I followed you all the way. You cried so badly just now I was afraid you’d do something stupid.”
