Xia Yanran stared at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

Although she had heard before that there was never a lack of women by Xiao Yi’s side, she had never seen him with another woman after they got together.

The most recent time was also the incident when she misunderstood him and his adoptive daughter.

When he was in front of her, he had never hugged another woman apart from her.

No matter if he was just acting or angering her on purpose, Xia Yanran’s heart still felt like it was stabbed ruthlessly with a sharp, twisted blade.

After the young girl was pulled onto Xiao Yi’s lap, she immediately blushed, not knowing what to do.

She struggled, wanting to stand up but Xia Yanran was faster than her.

“You can help him change his bandage!” Xia Yanran did not say anything else, merely blurting out this sentence before she got up to leave.

Her ankle still hurt, and she was still limping as she stumbled out of the cave.

Only when her slender figure disappeared from the cave did Xiao Yi retract his eyes. He glanced at the young girl whose face and ears were completely red from his action, letting go of her as he glanced at her indifferently. “I’m sorry.”

Although the young girl was innocent and did not really know of the harsh realities of the world, she understood why he had done this.

He was merely using her to chase that older girl away.

The young girl looked down. “I’ll help you change your bandage!”

Xiao Yi took the bandages from her, as he waved his other hand. He said a little weakly, “I can do this myself. You can leave too!”

Ever since she saved him, his att.i.tude had always been very cold and indifferent.

He would even go crazy in the middle of the night. She wanted to help him once, but he pushed her far away.

The young girl knew a little about medicine. Her parents had taught her since young to be a kind person, which was why she wanted to quickly heal this man whose face was covered in stubble and wanted nothing else.

However, since he insisted that he could do it himself, she did not persist. “After you’re done changing your bandage, please remember to eat the food.”

Xiao Yi’s face was tensed as he remained silent.

After Xia Yanran left the cave, she limped towards the village.

The young boy that saved her was standing at the end of the village. He hurriedly ran over after seeing Xia Yanran, his tanned cheeks a little flushed.

Xia Yanran glanced at his black, bright eyes as she smiled brightly, “Is there a shop in your village?”

The boy nodded.

“Can you take me there?”

The boy shook his head. “I have to wait for my older sister.”

Xia Yanran shrugged her shoulders. “Alright, can you tell me where the shop is?”

“At the village entrance.”

Xia Yanran thanked the boy before she left.

As Xia Yanran walked to the small shop at the village entrance, her forehead was covered in a layer of sweat.

Her ankle hurt so badly.

It was lucky that she had placed some cash in her pockets before she left home.

She bought a bowl of instant noodles.

The people in the village were all very simple and kind. The lady boss noticed Xia Yanran limping and hurriedly called her into her house and brought over an ointment for her.

While Xia Yanran was eating instant noodles, the lady boss sat opposite of her as she knitted a sweater. Glancing at Xia Yanran’s scarlet lips and white teeth, she said mysteriously, “Miss, you’re really pretty, so don’t run about anyhow at night. If you have nowhere to stay, you can sleep in our house tonight.”

Xia Yanran’s long eyelashes fluttered lightly. She sipped a mouthful of noodles before she glanced towards the lady boss in confusion. “The people in the village are all very nice, would they do anything to me?”
