The action pulled out many memories Xia Yanran had.
That unknown yet familiar feeling, that panicked and helpless fluttering, the ambiguous and heavy breathing, all made her feel dizzy.
Her emotions turned a million times.
As always, the man noticed all of her emotions.
Xia Yanran felt extremely weak and helpless. Her rationality was on the brink of disappearing, her heartstrings tensed like it would snap with just a simple pull.
She turned her head a little to avoid his touch.
Xiao Yi sat up straight, crossing his legs elegantly as he rested his chin on his hand. He stopped looking at her. “I wanted to do this when I saw you dancing with Tang Chao last night.”
Xia Yanran glared at him.
“I don’t regret it.” He side-eyed her. Since her skin was so fair, her cheeks would be dusted with pink whenever she was angry or embarrassed, like she was a blooming flower and exuded a charming fragrance.
Xia Yanran calmed her emotions. “Xiao Yi, don’t do it again.”
Xiao Yi took out cigarettes and matchsticks from his pocket before he placed a cigarette between his lips and looked up at the sky. “I won’t.”
Looking down at the floor, Xia Yanran couldn’t help asking, “How did you settle it with President Wen?” With President Wen’s personality, he probably wouldn’t settle for anything.
Xiao Yi took out the cigarette, playing it between his fingers as he smirked. “I got someone to follow him last night. He brought two women to his room and I got someone to film him from the hotel opposite.”
Xia Yanran was speechless. That old pervert was playing around so openly! She probably wouldn’t be able to work in the magazine agency anymore. It was a good thing that she at least had Mrs Wen’s exclusive interview with her, so it would probably be easy for her to find a new job.
“Oh right,” Xiao Yi turned towards Xia Yanran, the flush on her cheeks was almost gone and had become a creamy white again. “I found a doctor. He helped someone recover once, so he probably can treat your brother.”
Xia Yanran glanced towards Xiao Yi, their eyes meeting. It took a while before she finally moved her lips. “Is he dependable?”
Xiao Yi smiled. “He is. If he isn’t, I’ll ruin myself too.”
At his words, Xia Yanran’s chest heaved up and down slightly, as she looked away first. “You don’t have to do that.”
Xiao Yi’s smile widened as he played around with the cigarette. In the end, he didn’t light it and threw it into the rubbish bin. “I’ll help you flag down a taxi.”
Xia Yanran stood up. “Alright.”
The two of them walked to the roadside. After a while, a taxi passed by and Xiao Yi flagged it down.
After Xia Yanran got on the taxi, he said as he was closing the door, “I’m planning to go to Bardahl. The city is reconstructing itself after the war and Mrs Wen is developing a project there. My company and Tang Chao took on this project.”
Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Xia Yanran’s breath caught in her chest. “Really?”
“Yes, I probably wouldn’t come back within the next five years. Yanran, I’m really sorry for what happened to your brother. I hope that he can recover after the surgery and that your family can live nicely. Without an as*hole like me, I’m sure you will be happy.”
He closed the taxi door for her.
The taxi stepped on the accelerator and drove off.
Without an as*hole like me, I’m sure you will be happy.
The words seemed to replay in her head on an endless repeat. Xia Yanran leaned against the window, staring at the man who was still standing there and waving at her. Her heart dropped heavily, Xia Yanran feeling as if she lost all of her feelings.
Her mind was filled with the news that he was leaving, that he was leaving for five years to a city that was rebuilding itself after a war.
Xia Yanran almost control her emotions, her heart wringing in pain as her eyes felt extremely swollen with the urge to cry. She looked up slightly, doing all she could to stop the tears from falling out.
The driver glanced at Xia Yanran through the rear mirror. “Young lady, did you fight with your boyfriend?”
Xia Yanran sniffled. “We broke up for a very long time already.”
“Are you sad after hearing that he’s going to such a far place?”
Xia Yanran didn’t speak.
“I heard that although the war had stopped in Bardahl, the civil war is still ongoing. Will your boyfriend be in danger if he goes? If you can’t bear to part with him, why don’t you ask him to stay?”
Xia Yanran’s lashes fluttered lightly. “Sir, I broke up with him already.”
Seeing that Xia Yanran’s voice was slightly choked, the driver sighed and stopped speaking.
…
Once she returned to the hotel, Xia Yanran tidied her luggage and took an afternoon flight back to Ning City.
When she reached home, she took a long and proper sleep. The next day, she went to the magazine agency, planning to submit her termination letter.
Once she arrived at the office, the atmosphere was slightly strange.
Xia Yanran was planning to submit her termination letter to President Wen, when the colleague sitting next to her pulled her back. “Yanran, haven’t you heard?”
Xia Yanran was confused. “What?”
“President Wen has been fired.”
“What?” Wasn’t President Wen a relative of one of the company’s shareholders. His background was almost omnipotent and no matter how perverted he was, no one dared to say anything about him.
“I heard that President Wen’s computer was been hacked. He’s actually so sick to install a CCTV under the table of the company owner’s daughter and secretly state at their legs and panties. What a creep!”
“He’s definitely sick in the head!”
“Oh right, I heard that you managed to interview Mrs Wen this time? The Boss spoke up and said that he’ll promote you after President Wen leaves!”
Xia Yanran was speechless. Why did she suddenly feel like she had won the jackpot?
Just as the colleague was about to say something else, President Wen walked out of his office carrying a cardboard box. When he walked past Xia Yanran’s desk, his eyes were complicated. “Xia Yanran, the things in my computer were taken by your man, right?! I never thought that I would fail in the hands of your man and you!” President Wen spat angrily before he left.
Xia Yanran sat back on her chair, unable to regain her senses for a long time.
Xiao Yi, he… actually thought it all out for her, even the difficulties she would meet when she returned to work and helped her solve her problem…
Xia Yanran pressed a hand against her forehead, feeling extremely complicated.
…
Very soon after her return, the doctor that Xiao Yi told Xia Yanran about contacted her.
Xia Yanran went to the airport to pick up the doctor.
Xia Yanran didn’t know if the doctor could treat Junyuan, but she trusted Xiao Yi for some reason.
After Junyuan had been injured, she went to look for Bai Ye once. Although Bai Ye was a genius doctor, he didn’t specialize in that aspect. If Junyuan wanted to treat his wrist, he could help in that instead.
Xia Yanran brought the doctor to Junyuan’s pharmacy.
