The car window was half lowered and Xiao Yi leaned against the seat lazily. As he lit a cigarette, his lips opened slightly and when he blew out the smoke, he looked incredibly s.e.xy and charming.

His slender and gloomy eyes landed on her and Xia Yanran’s heart beat faster.

She tried to control her feelings and said with a cold expression, “Don’t worry, I won’t feel like dying over a man.”

Without waiting for Xiao Yi to say anything, Xia Yanran’s phone rang.

Seeing that it was from Sister Mei, Xia Yanran turned around and answered the call.

“Yanran, I went to the company to look for you just now and the colleagues said you went out.”

Xia Yanran felt a little guilty about Sister Mei being dismissed. If she had not agreed to the blind date and angered Xiao Yi, Sister Mei might not have lost her job!

“Sister Mei, wait for me at the company. I’ll be back right away.”

Sister Mei laughed. “It’s all right, Yanran. I came back to clear my things. I’m going to work in a large company instead!”

What? Going to work in a large company?

“CEO Xiao felt that I have the ability to work in HR and introduced me to another company. I didn’t expect myself to get hired. Yanran, I have to thank CEO Xiao!”

Xia Yanran was slightly dazed.

After ending the call with Sister Mei, Xia Yanran glanced at the man in the sports car. He had stubbed out the cigarette and seeing her looking over, he stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

When the sports car went past her, Xia Yanran sighed and left with a complicated feeling.

But after walking a few steps, she heard a sharp braking sound from a distance.

Xia Yanran’s heart thumped.

She turned back and frowned when she saw the sports car that had driven ten meters had stopped suddenly.

The sports car stopped there with no sign of any movements.

Xia Yanran pursed her lips and through the car window, she saw the man who was leaning against the steering wheel with both hands on his stomach looking in pain.

Were his stomach problems acting up again?

When they were together, she found that he often did not eat on time and had the bad habit of drinking and staying up late. She corrected him forcibly and during that period, his stomach problems seldom acted up.

She herself had stomach problems, and knew that when it acted up, her organs would be in pain too.

Xia Yanran could not be cold-blooded and leave him to die. She raised her hand and knocked on the car window.

After a while, the car window slowly lowered down.

Xiao Yi raised his head from the steering wheel and his long and slender eyes seemed even more gloomy and dark than usual and were slightly bloodshot. “What?”

Xia Yanran ignored his cold att.i.tude and pointed at his stomach. “Don’t drive if you’re feeling uncomfortable. Take a taxi!”

Xiao Yi pursed his lips and stared at her. “You’re concerned about me?”

Xia Yanran’s hair stood on end by his stare. “I’m just concerned as ordinary friends.”

Xiao Yi’s expression turned cold.

Xia Yanran did not know if she was seeing things, but a trace of hurt seemed to have flashed past his eyes.

“There’s a drugstore across the street. Help me buy some medicine.” After saying that, he leaned against the steering wheel again.

Seeing that he was in pain, Xia Yanran did not think about it too much about it. She turned and went to the drugstore across the street. After buying the medicine, she also brought a cup of water over.

“CEO Xiao!”

The man leaning against the steering wheel did not reply.

“CEO Xiao?”

There was still no response.
