Give her a home?
Xiao Yi furrowed his eyebrows, as a dark complexity flashed in his eyes.
A person like him had offended too many people. Assassination, robbing, revenge, those could take his life anytime.
How would he dare give her the promise of a home so easily?
Even Xiao Xi, who he had protected so well, had been…
Xiao Yi glanced towards the woman whose eyes had turned red and his eyes darkened. “Xia Yanran, did you fall for me?”
Xia Yanran sniffled, her eyes stinging as if there was something scorching hot that wanted to leave her eyes. She did her best to suppress the boiling emotions within her and scoffed, “Am I that cheap? Why would I like a man like you that had caused me so much trauma?”
“If you don’t like me, then why are you asking all those useless things?” Xiao Yi caressed her pretty face, his fingers rubbing against her smooth skin. “Isn’t what we have now very nice? I dote on you while you fulfill my needs, we’re all getting what we need.”
At his words, Xia Yanran’s heart immediately fell.
He could dote her the most, but he wasn’t able to give her a normal home.
She never existed in his life plans.
A person like him separated their sexual desires very clearly from their feelings.
Woman fell too easily. She hated him so much at first, to the point that she even wanted to kill him. Who would have expected that she would change her impression towards him after a meager year?
Her heart had also started to beat for him.
However, reality was always cruel and filled with blunt and blatant mockery. He managed to move her heart, but he did not need it.
Xia Yanran sucked in a deep breath. Her eyes were scarily red.
“Xiao Yi, let’s end this unusual relationship of ours. I don’t want to be your mistress anymore.”
Xiao Yi leaned closer towards Xia Yanran, pinching her chin with his long fingers. His eyes darkened. “Xia Yanran, can you stop being so sensitive? Did I not dote on you enough in the past year? What do you want that I haven’t satisfied?”
Xia Yanran’s nose was stuffy.
She knew that she was the one being too selfish.
His attitude had never changed from the start. He liked her body, and he could give her everything, as long as he was satisfied.
It was her who had slowly lost herself in her delusions.
She was the one who did not understand that their relationship was only a contractual one.
She had no right to choose. She could only be free when he got tired of her and kicked her away!
Xia Yanran closed her red eyes, feeling extremely sad.
When she saw him hugging his adoptive daughter so intimately today, she already felt so miserable. She did not know how she would feel if he got tired of her and got together with another woman in the future.
However, this incident had finally rung the alarm bells in her mind.
She needed to control her heart properly.
She could no longer let herself be moved so easily.
“Then can you give me a timeframe? Xiao Yi, I don’t want to continue such a life with no future!”
Xiao Yi furrowed his eyebrows. However, he did not have the chance to say anything when his phone started to ring.
He glanced at the caller ID, it was Xiao Xi.
Xia Yanran had also seen the caller ID. Xiao Xi, it must be his adoptive daughter.
She stared at him quietly.
Xiao Yi pursed his lips tightly as he answered the call.
“Uncle Xiao, I’m really scared. Where are you? Can you come back and accompany me?”
The two of them were so close to each other, so Xia Yanran naturally heard the girl’s delicate and sobbing voice.
Go back and accompany her?
Xia Yanran really wanted to f**king laugh.
After Xiao Yi hung up, he glanced at Xia Yanran. “Let’s go back together.”
There seemed to be a thorn stuck in Xia Yanran’s throat. She sneered at him as she felt a bitter taste in her mouth. “Xiao Yi, you adopted an eighteen year old girl when you’re only barely 30 years old. Are you a pedophile or do you have weak sperm?”
It was only now that Xia Yanran realized that she knew absolutely nothing about his past.
She only knew that he was rather rich now. However, she was completely clueless about what he had done to get where he was.
He had indeed given her a lot in the past year, but he never mentioned his past in front of her.
Xiao Yi”s handsome facial features tensed. He glared at Xia Yanran sharply. “Take note of what you’re saying and stop your nonsense.”
Xia Yanran leaned back against the big tree, a scoff appearing on her lips. “What do I have to take note of? A man who is barely 30 years old going back to accompany a young girl who is eighteen years old, who is his adoptive daughter as well. Haha, who would believe it if you told them…”
Seeing Xiao Yi waving his fist towards her, Xia Yanran immediately stopped speaking.
She closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come.
A loud bang sounded as the fist hit just above the top of her head.
“Xia Yanran, I don’t want those words to be said again.”Xiao Yi took several steps back, as he furrowed his eyebrows tighter. “She has done nothing to you to deserve your words!”
Xia Yanran stared at the man who was turning and planning to leave. She clenched her hands into tight fists, as she shouted at him with a hoarse but sharp voice, “Xiao Yi, if you leave now, let’s stop contacting each other in the future.”
Xiao Yi stopped, turning back to look at Xia Yanran. “Between us, the decision has always been up to me.”
Tears flowed out of Xia Yanran’s eyes.. She bit her lip, holding on tightly to the last bit of dignity she had. “Xiao Yi, you’re right. I started to fall for you. I’m unhappy tonight, and I want you to accompany me.”
After she said that, it was completely silent between them.
The man stared straight at her, before he walked towards her with large strides.
Xia Yanran’s disappointed heart seemed to see a sliver of hope.
He walked towards her, as his large palm cupped her pretty face before he kissed her ferociously.
Without giving her any time to think about it, he pushed her teeth apart, his scorching hot tongue entering her mouth to intertwine with hers, sucking her sweetness.
He held onto her tightly, so much that she could not breath properly.
A tingle of numbness spread in Xia Yanran.
She lost herself in his kiss, as her hands pushing against his shoulders moved to wrap around his neck instead.
She did not know what she was thinking. All she knew was that he was willing to stay for her, that he still cared for her.
She was still young, and had never thought about forming a family. She only questioned him like that earlier because she wanted to prove her importance to him!
Their lips only separated when they were about to run out of breath. A long strand of silvery liquid was pulled from Xia Yanran’s lips, and the sight was so scandalous that it made one drunk.
Xiao Yi leaned forward, kissing that stray of silver away directly.
Xia Yanran’s long eyelashes fluttered, as she pursed her lips shyly. Xiao Yi caressed her hair. “Let’s go.”
Xia Yanran looked up at him, her breathing tightening. “Why are we leaving? I already set up the tent?”
Xiao Yi interrupted her, “Yanran, you don’t know what Xiao Xi experienced. She’s afraid and I cannot leave her alone.”
Xia Yanran’s heart that had warmed with so much difficulty, chilled once more. At the end of the day, you’re going to leave, aren’t you?”
