Xia Yanran blinked, thinking that something was wrong with her vision.

She closed the door with a loud slam.

Leaning back against the door, she stood there taking a few deep breaths.

What did she just see?

Xiao Yi was leaning in the corner, several cigarette b.u.t.ts scattered on the floor. He was looking slightly up, seemingly zoning out. He did not even look at her when she opened the door, like he was completely out of it, with a lighted cigarette still dangling between his fingers.

Xia Yanran had never thought that she would meet Xiao Yi here.

Besides, it was one in the morning.

What on earth was he doing here?

There were so many cigarette b.u.t.ts on the floor, so he must have been here for a while.

She felt extremely complicated and her heart palpitated.

Why did Xiao Yi come all the way here in the middle of the night?

Wait, how did he even know that she stayed here?

However, at that thought, it was not hard for him to find out where she was staying, since he was following Second Master Qin in Hong Kong and still had quite a bit of power.

As she leaned against the door for a while, her mind was a complete mess, not knowing if she should go throw the rubbish or to bring the rubbish back to her apartment.

But then, bringing her rubbish back to her apartment would be avoiding the problem. It wasn’t like she was afraid of seeing him.

This was where she stayed, it wasn’t his territory. So, why should she hide?

Taking a deep breath in, Xia Yanran pushed the door open once more and walked in front of the rubbish bin.

After throwing the rubbish, Xia Yanran was about to turn around and leave. The man who was staring at the ceiling seemed to have felt something, as he suddenly looked towards her.

Xia Yanran immediately froze on the spot.

Her legs seemed to have been filled with lead, making her unable to move for a moment.

His eyes were calm yet sharp. Her scalp started to turn numb, as she did not know what to do.

G.o.ddammit. If only she had chosen to bring her rubbish back to her apartment earlier, she would not have been in such an awkward position now.

The two of them stared at each other for nearly ten seconds, when the loud slam of the door closing suddenly disrupted the silence.

Xia Yanran regained her senses.

She looked away, not even asking the man why he appeared here in the middle of the night as she hurriedly turned around, pus.h.i.+ng the door open and walked towards her apartment.

There were no footsteps flowing behind her.

A sigh of relief escaped from her lips.

Her apartment door was closed by the wind, but it was fortunate her door was locked by a fingerprint lock.

Xia Yanran opened the door, entering her apartment before she closed the door behind her.

However, after pus.h.i.+ng it a few times, she still was not able to close it.

Turning back, she jumped at the man who was suddenly standing by the door and had a hand on the door.

She took a few steps back immediately.

Using that chance, the man pushed the door open.

“What’s the matter? You want to run away after seeing me?” The man’s lazy voice rang, full of warning and somewhat accusingly, unlike the indifference he had when he spoke to her in the hotel lobby.
