Not owe each other anything and never meet again?
Hmph.
Every word he spoke were as sharp as knives, slicing Xia Yanran’s heart into pieces ruthlessly!
Did he really think that he only owed her a slap?
She hated him! When she hated and despised him, he took her and was not willing to stop at that, using extremely intelligent methods to snatch her heart too!
Now, he was saying that they don’t owe each other anything?
Xia Yanran really wanted to laugh out loud.
But what else could she say now?
Should she tell him that after they broke up, she started to have insomnia because she would only think of him every time she closed her eyes?
That village was filled with their sweet memories.
Whenever she had a break, she would go there.
She would even stay in the cave alone, sitting at where she had slept before, as if his scent and temperature still remained in the air!
Xia Yanran suppressed her emotions, looking up at him quietly.
Although he was a devil, he was also a master at stealing hearts.
If he was willing to do so, women would unconsciously be baited by him.
The streetlights shone on him, as if creating a layer of warm light on him. He was still that handsome and cold boss, but he was no longer the man Xia Yanran was familiar with.
What happened the last few days was just an interlude.
Men were always able to differentiate their love and desires very clearly.
But women were not.
The sadness in her heart rushed through like a flood. It was hard for her to even breathe properly.
The cigarette between Xiao Yi’s fingers had unknowingly burnt halfway. He threw the cigarette down and stepped on it to put it out.
Reaching out a hand out to Xia Yanran, his words were strange. “Can I hug you before I leave?”
Seeing the gangsterish smile on his lips, Xia Yanran felt a painful pang in her heart.
She stood on the same spot, unmoving.
It was as if she did not hear him, but it looked like she heard him as well.
Because she was not moving, Xiao Yi stretched his hand out instead, wanting to pull her into his arms. However, she took a large step back immediately.
Xiao Yi’s fingers froze midair.
Xia Yanran’s eyes were completely red by now, as she was starting to show her emotions on her face. However, she did all she could to keep her emotions at bay. It was easy to know how ugly she looked right now. She spoke with trembling lips, “Xiao Yi, back when we broke up in Ning City, I might still have wanted to hold onto you. I came to Hong Kong to open a branch here without any regard for anything, and paid attention to your news like crazy.
“All of the men who were interested in me… rejected them all. I even had the unrealistic thought that maybe if Xiao Yi took his revenge, he might still come back to look for me!
“I waited foolishly for you to turn over a new leaf, so that we could get back together again. However, in this moment, I finally realize how wrong I was. You were right back then. From the moment you started on this path, we can never go back again.
“When you treated me like that last night, I could tell that it wasn’t that you didn’t have feelings anymore, it’s just that you no longer have feelings for me. Did my appearance cause a problem for you? Don’t worry, I’ll leave. Just like you said, let’s not meet again!
“However, Xiao Yi, I will not wait anymore. I won’t foolishly only want you anymore. I will let go of you like you have, and get a fiancé, or get married immediately if I find someone suitable.”
Xia Yanran smiled at him, her smile still the usual 30 degree smile that she thought she looked the best with. “You don’t have to remember the woman with an ugly smile anymore. Xiao Yi, I wish you happiness. Don’t worry, after I put down everything, I will be happy too.”
The moment she finished speaking, she looked away from him, turning to walk into the house.
The man did not look at her anymore as well, as he got into the Bentley.
Xia Yanran’s eyes were filled with misty tears.
All of her energy felt like it had been sucked away by a large syringe.
Her legs were soft and weak.
She felt a little dizzy, as if she was going to die from the pain.
It had been a long time since they broke up. Why was saying goodbye like one of them was dying?
She was really stupid!
Xiao Yi, who was seated in his Bentley, started the engine, holding onto the steering wheel as he stepped on the accelerator to drive away.
His expression darkened visibly under the faint lighting.
That damned woman, why did she come to Hong Kong?
Why did she say all these things to him?
F*ck it, his heart was hurting so much!
…
After saying everything that should have been said, Xia Yanran felt a lot better on her way back from Elder Dong’s house.
“Yanran, after you’re done allocating all of your work here in Hong Kong to your colleagues, you should take a break!” Nan Zhi suggested.
Xia Yanran nodded.
She indeed had an intention to do so.
She had been tensed for too long, so she did need to relax for a while.
Xia Yanran hugged Nan Zhi’s arm, resting her head on her shoulder. “My heart is very strong. I won’t let myself be defeated by relationship woes. Besides, I am preparing to start again. What do you think of that Young Master Huo?”
A smile appeared on Nan Zhi’s pretty face. “I can tell that he’s sincere towards you. However, you’re still not in a state to be in a relationship. You should only consider him after a while, when you’re feeling better!”
“Alright, I’ll go see my Godson and Goddaughter when I’m on my break!”
“You’re definitely welcome to do so!”
…
Xiao Yi drove around half of the Hong Kong city.
He had never felt so empty.
A ringtone started ringing.
Seeing that it was a call from Second Master Qin, Xiao Yi put on his wireless earpiece.
“Ah Yi, come to the Qin Clubhouse.”
Half an hour later, Xiao Yi arrived at the Qin Clubhouse.
He had a cigarette placed between his lips, his actions as graceful as a panther.
When he was on the porch, the maid bent down to help him change his shoes. He waved his hand. “I’m not that precious, you can go and do your own things.”
Second Master Qin was seated in the living room with a walking cane beside him. Several of his hardworking assistants were standing by him.
After changing his shoes, Xiao Yi walked in, taking out the cigarette between his lips. He asked with a playful smile, “Second Master, there’s still a meeting even though it’s so late at night.”
Qin Peipei was preparing fruits in her room. Seeing that Xiao Yi had arrived, she made a cup of tea that Xiao Yi usually liked before she took out a bottle from her pocket, pouring the liquid inside into the tea.
According to the person she had bought the drug from, a drop of it was enough to take effect on any man.
Having poured the entire bottle, she did not believe that he would still be able to hold back.
The two of them were about to get engaged originally, and she did not want to ruin the image he had of her. However, ever since that call at night, she felt extremely uneasy.
The best was still doing things that couldn’t be undone!
If she was able to use the chance to get pregnant with his child, she would be able to bind him to her for the rest of her life.
Qin Peipei waved a maid over. “Bring this tea to Brother Yi.”
“Alright, Young Miss.”
Qin Peipei stood in the dining hall, staring at the group of people in the living room silently.
Ever since Daddy asked Xiao Yi to be with her, Xiao Yi had been very nice to her, doing everything that she wanted.
However, she had never been able to enter his heart.
Sometimes, the gaze he looked at her with made her think that he was looking at another woman through her.
