Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Yanran kept taking in deep breaths, biting down on her jaw tightly.
Despair and anger filled her chest.
Just now, she had thought that he was willing to stay for her!
How stupid of her. She was so stupid.
Xiao Yi stared at Xia Yanran, furrowing his eyebrows tightly. “You weren’t this unreasonable in the past!”
Xia Yanran felt it was really funny after hearing his words.
She was not unreasonable in the past because she did not think that there was someone that there would ever be someone to threaten her like this. She had never imagined she would care the way she did.
However, she did not like his adoptive daughter from the first moment she saw her.
Call it intuition, but that girl’s eyes showed an expression that was not something an eighteen year old girl should show.
“Stop it. If you don’t trust me, go with me.” He had always been impatient towards women and what he was giving to Xia Yanran was already reaching his limit.
Xia Yanran looked into his eyes, enunciating every word with twisted lips. “I’m. Not. Going!”
Xiao Yi moved his Adam’s apple, seemingly unable to control his emotions anymore. He snapped, “Xia Yanran, are you done with your temper? Xiao Xi is very important to me, you are also very important as well. The two of you are incomparable. Why are you trying to fight against a child?”
Xia Yanran froze for a few seconds from his shout.
She knew that his temper had always been bad, as he could be happy in a second and angry in the next. All of his subordinates were afraid of him, as he could joke around with you in the first second and aim a gun at your head in the next.
She felt like she really gained the courage of a bear to dare to talk to him like this.
However, she was really unhappy!
“Alright, leave then.” Xia Yanran smirked, as if she suddenly did not care anymore. “After you leave, I will stop talking to you, no matter how much you force me to in the future!”
It was dead silent.
She did not know how long had passed, it may have been five minutes, or possibly longer.
Xia Yanran heard Xiao Yi say coldly, “Xia Yanran, you really disappoint me.”
Before Xia Yanran could say anything, Xiao Yi’s expression darkened as he turned to leave.
Xia Yanran stared at his disappearing figure in the dark. The tears that she had kept in her eyes for so long, finally fell uncontrollably.
Men were not good at all. Not only would they play with you, but you also had to accept and endure whatever they threw at you.
What for?
For a man who had such an old adoptive daughter when he was barely 30 years old, did he really want her to become a stepmother?
Alright, since he could leave so easily, she swore she would ignore him from now on!
Xia Yanran walked into the tent and took out a can of beer before she downed it all in one gulp.
Because she drank too hurriedly, she choked on the liquid. She started to cough uncontrollably.
Xiao Yi, that as*hole, why did he have to provoke her?
It was fine if he merely provoked her, why did he have to dote on her and give her hope as well?
...
After Xiao Yi reached the bottom of the hill, he instructed his subordinates, “Look after her properly, you’d better not let anything happen to her.”
Ning City had not been very peaceful recently, as the political leader was changing. Not only that, one of his enemies had finished his term in jail and Xia Yanran had also offended the secret boss behind the Entertainment Town scandal.
The company had also gotten into some trouble recently. It was different from the natural up and down fluctuations from the economy in the past. Someone was targeting him specifically this time, and some of the evidence he had gathered pointed slightly towards the secret boss behind Entertainment Town.
The secret boss was from Hong Kong. He was the one who saw the potential in Xiao Yi when Xiao Yi was still a nobody in the mafia. He brought Xiao Yi to Hong Kong and pulled him into the gang.
After he left the gang to start his own business, he would still go back to visit him every year while he would also give the secret boss 20% of the profit his company earned.
Now that he was doing very well in Ning City, the once ‘Big Boss’ was no longer doing as well and had come to invest in Ning City behind his back.
He had never thought that the hornet’s nest that Xia Yanran broke was actually him.
Maybe, he was just using this as an excuse to start conflict and hold onto something on him so he could suppress Xiao Yi!
Xiao Yi rubbed his temple, as he got in the car with a dark expression.
...
Nan Zhi did not sleep properly that night. Yanran was not in a good mood, but she did not want Nan Zhi accompany her either, Nan Zhi was worried that something might happen to her.
In the morning, when she was still half-asleep, Nan Zhi heard her phone ring and answered the call without looking at the caller ID.
It was when the call went through that she realized that it was not a normal call but a video call.
“You’re still not awake?”
Hearing the man’s low and cold voice, all of Nan Zhi’s sleepiness immediately went away, as she sat up on the bed hurriedly.
The man had probably just finished showering, as he was wearing a bathrobe with the belt tied around his waist loosely. A large patch of his muscular and sexy chest was exposed, his hair still a little wet as water beads rolled down his well-defined face. He was leaning against the balcony railing, holding onto the phone with one hand as his other hand held onto a cigar.
Seeing that she had sat up on the bed hurriedly, he smirked, making him seem handsome and wild at the same time.
Nan Zhi stared at the wicked smirk he had while he exhaled a mouthful of smoke. Her heart thumped slightly harder.
“Kitten, you’re not wearing anything under your nightgown?”
Mu Sihan stared at Nan Zhi’s sleepy face. She was completely bared-face, looking extremely pretty with her fair, smooth skin and scarlet red lips. He really wanted to swallow her up in a go.
Nan Zhi looked down at her nightgown. One of her shoulder straps had fallen off sometime during her sleep, as half a side of her full breasts was exposed.
Nan Zhi pulled the silk blanket over her body, before she glanced towards the man in the video-call and smiled brightly and charmingly, “Seeing that you let Xiaojie come back with me, I’ll give you some benefits.”
“Tsk!” When the woman was shameless, she was really... Was she bullying him, so that he could only see but not touch them?
She rarely used such a flirtatious tone to speak with him, and a burning fire of desire started to burn below his abdomen. His sexy Adam’s apple bobbled. “Kitten, you’re really stingy. This tiny bit of benefit isn’t enough for me.”
Nan Zhi gave him a mischievous smile. “It’s good enough to be able to see them.”
Mu Sihan smirked. “Alright, I know that you’re shy. If you don’t let me see you, I’ll let you see me.”
Before Nan Zhi could say anything, the man suddenly pulled his bathrobe open, as he moved the camera downwards from his chest.
Nan Zhi glanced at his well-defined chest and his Apollo’s belt that extended beyond under the bathrobe. She could not help but blush furiously.
“M-Mu Sihan! You... you’re shameless!”Nan Zhi faced her phone away as her cheeks heated up, not wanting to look at him anymore.
“Do you want to continue looking further?” the man’s low, cold voice sounded like a cello playing. It was extremely magnetic and charming.
“Mu Sihan, I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”
“Ha,” he chuckled softly, “You just saw mine, shouldn’t you let me see yours too? It’s only fair.”
Nan Zhi thought that this person was really too shameless. He was probably the only one who thought about asking a person to strip naked in a video-call.
She glared at him. She did not have the chance to reject him when another call came in.
Noting that it was Xia Yanran calling, Nan Zhi hurriedly hung up the video call and answered Xia Yanran’s call.
“Zhizhi, I want to lock myself in.”
Nan Zhi immediately got off the bed and walked to the apartment’s entrance. She opened the apartment door to see Xia Yanran squatting in front of the door like an abandoned cat. She hung up the call and crouched down as well, before she hugged Xia Yanran tightly. “You can take my room.”
At Nan Zhi’s words, Xia Yanran looked up with red eyes before she burst out in laughter. “My best friend is indeed more dependable than any man.”
