The car slowly drove away from her.
The man who was sitting with Second Master Qin never glanced at Xia Yanran from the beginning until the end.
His temperature seemed to still linger on her lips.
It was hot and numbing.
However, the person in front of her was no longer that person.
Xia Yanran turned around, staring at the disappearing black sedans. She felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Xia Yanran stood there for a very long time.
She felt completely lost.
The young girl ran over with the food that she had made.
“Sister Xia, are you alright? Where’s Mr. Xiao?”
Xia Yanran blinked her long eyelashes, hearing her own voice say softly, “He left.”
“He left?” the young girl was slightly confused, “But why didn’t he bring Sister Xia with him?”
Xia Yanran shook her head. “Maybe he had made the decision already.”
After the young girl left, Xia Yanran carried the food boxes and entered the cave alone.
The clean clothes that she had washed for him were still placed on the bed.
She sat on the bed, opening the boxes.
It was the same taste, but why did she feel like she was eating wax now?
“Why are you eating so little? Are you dieting? If you continue to lose weight, you’ll only be skin and bones! Eat more! If not, where will you get the energy to exercise at night?”
The man’s handsome face suddenly appeared in front of Xia Yanran. She swallowed the food in her mouth and punched her fist out towards him. “Can you think about other things?”
“What’s there to think about? Isn’t having sex the only entertainment in this cave?”
“Scram…”
After Xia Yanran shouted and blinked her eyes, the fierce man in front of her disappeared.
It was an illusion!
Xia Yanran put down her chopsticks, looking around the cave where she had spent two weeks together with him.
When he was around, it did not feel cold at all. In fact, this shabby and simple place still felt warm and sweet.
However, she felt extremely lonely now. But compared to feeling lonely, she felt even more disheartened.
That Second Master Qin guy almost killed him, why was he still working with him?
Or, did he give up on the most basic morals a human could have in order to keep his own life?
Women always liked to lie to themselves. They would always think that they could become the most unique person in a man’s heart, and hope that their appearance could change his life.
However, the truth was that women were only a flavoring to a man’s life…
Xia Yanran laid on the bed, as her tears fell.
…
Xia Yanran slept in the cave alone for a night. She woke up several times in the middle of the night, and would hallucinate from time to time, anticipating for him to come back to look for her.
However, he had left.
He had not even said anything.
The two of them had just made love on this bed yesterday.
Xia Yanran sat on the bed, hugging her knees.
Cold.
She felt really cold.
She felt like all of her blood had frozen.
The next day, Xia Yanran sorted her emotions and went to the house of the young girl who had saved Xiao Yi and her.
She left her phone number and address, telling the young lady that if she went to Ning City one day, she could go to find her.
Although she had never been to this place before, because of Xiao Yi, she felt a little reluctant when she left.
…
Xia Yanran arrived back at Ning City in the afternoon.
She took a shower when she reached home and took a nap like a zombie on her bed.
When she woke up, it was already evening.
She turned on her phone, seeing a message that Nan Zhi had sent her.
“Yanran, when are you coming back from your business trip? Huahua brought Little Apple over because it’s her daddy’s death anniversary the day after. She will return to the Capital after.”
Xia Yanran sat up on the bed, typing on the screen speedily as she replied to the message. “I’m already back, we can meet at night.”
Almost immediately, Nan Zhi sent her the address for where they were meeting.
Xia Yanran took a taxi to the clubhouse.
Half an hour later, Xia Yanran arrived at her destination.
When she entered the lobby, the clubhouse’s manager and staff all hurried over to the lobby.
They all stood in an orderly fashion by the entrance, split into two neat rows.
Xia Yanran stood behind the group, and before she could move away, she saw a group of people getting off a luxurious sedan.
Xia Yanran moved back to stand at an inconspicuous spot.
Xiao Yi, who was wearing a black leather jacket, entered the lobby with Second Master Qin beside him. More than twenty bodyguards followed behind them.
After seeing them enter, the clubhouse’s staff all bowed together.
Xia Yanran stared at the way Xiao Yi looked with a cigarette between his lips as his eyes ignored the staff fiercely and arrogantly. She felt like he was a complete stranger.
When the group of fierce people passed by the lobby, no one dared to lift up their heads.
It was only when they entered one of the private rooms that the staff quickly dispersed to do their own jobs.
Xia Yanran sent a message to Nan Zhi, not going to the private room where they were meeting at straight. Instead, she headed towards the private room where Xiao Yi was in.
She stood in front of the room’s door. She could see the extravagant world inside the room through the gap between the door.
Beside Second Master Qin and Xiao Yi, there were four sexy and pretty girls sitting with them. Second Master Qin passed Xiao Yi a small transparent plastic bag that contained white powder.
Xia Yanran watched Xiao Yi inhale slowly, feeling her blood flow the other way.
She suddenly felt like the two weeks she had spent with him in that cave was just a joke.
A bitter smile crossed her face as she walked away.
…
Xia Yanran left to go to the private room where Nan Zhi and Yan Hua were in.
When the meeting ended, it was about ten o’clock. Xia Yanran had drank a bit, but she was not drunk.
She sat on a taxi and gave the taxi driver an address.
It was the villa at the city’s south.
When she arrived at her destination, Xia Yanran did not enter the villa. She squatted down and curled up in a corner.
A black sedan drove towards the villa when it was nearing midnight.
Xia Yanran rushed up without a care.
She spread her arms to stop that sedan from moving forward.
The sedan was merely centimeters away from her knee when it stopped with a dangerous screech of burning rubber.
The driver was so frightened from seeing Xia Yanran that his face was pale.
Xia Yanran sniffled, stumbling towards the back of the car.
She pulled the door opened with her strength.
Staring at the man who was sitting behind with his eyes closed, she did not know if the man was sleeping, but with a bite to her lips, she sat in the car.
The driver glanced at the couple sitting behind. He did not get to say anything when he heard Xia Yanran say, “Can you get off please? I have something to talk to Xiao Yi about.”
The driver naturally knew Xia Yanran.
Seeing that Xiao Yi did not say anything, he got out of the car quickly.
In the car, it was extremely quiet after Xiao Yi and Xia Yanran were the only ones left.
Xia Yanran stared at his indifferent expression and his tightly pursed lips. She never felt him to be so… unknown.
He felt like a complete stranger.
In front of him, she suddenly did not dare to punch him, hit him, whine at him or kiss him freely.
It had only been a mere day, but she felt like they had already become two people from two very different worlds.
Xia Yanran closed her eyes, suppressing the sadness surfacing within her. She spoke with a hoarse voice, “Xiao Yi.”
The man opened his eyes slowly, his emotionless eyes looked towards her.
“Xiao Yi, look at me. I have something to ask you!”
The man stared at her, his eyes dark as his expression remained indifferent.
“Ask then.”
