Chapter 1069 - His Change (2/2)

Xia Yanran did not know what to say to Xiao Yi and she said to Xia Mo. “It’s fine. We’ll call someone to fix it later.”

Xia Yanran turned and left.

Xia Mo leaned over the car window and frowned. “Uncle Xiao, I don’t know what happened between you and Chief Editor Xiao, but there are so few cars here and it’s not realistic to call someone to repair it. If they don’t get it fixed soon, it’ll be even harder for them to get into the mountains before it starts to get dark.”

Xiao Yi pinched out his cigarette and pushed open the door to get down. He took out the toolbox from the boot and headed for Xia Yanran’s car which had broken down by the roadside.

Wen Qian was still checking the the hood and seeing Xiao Yi coming over, he greeted him as he did not know the past between Xiao Yi and Xia Yanran.

Junyuan said nothing when he saw that it was Xiao Yi who got out of the car, quietly standing to one side to smoke.

Xiao Yi took out his jacket and he wore a thin s.h.i.+rt underneath. He rolled up his sleeves, showing his firm and strong arms and because he bent over to check the car, his body a perfect silhouette. His broad shoulders, long back, slim waist and long legs… Compared with the gentle Wen Qian, he was full of wildness and masculinity.

At one glance, he was not someone who was not so approachable.

Wen Qian asked Xiao Yi if he needed help and received a negative answer. Wen Qian then went to talk to Xia Yanran by the side.

“Did you not rest well recently? Your dark circles looked slightly deep,” Wen Qian asked with concern.

Xia Yanran hummed softly. “I was busy looking for a job.”

“Don’t work too hard. If there aren’t any suitable jobs, I’ll take care of you in the future.”

Xia Yanran smiled. “No matter when, women should be independent and self-reliant.”

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Apply for it when you think it’s suitable for you. Treat this period as a vacation.”

“Okay.”

Wen Qian looked at Xia Yanran’s smile and he smiled too.

The sound of the hood being closed could be heard and Xia Yanran tilted her head, seeing Xiao Yi putting his tools back into the toolbox.

Her eyes swept to his hands that were stained with black oil and she hesitated for a few seconds before taking out a packet of tissues.

“Is it okay now?” She went up to Xiao Yi and handed him the tissue.

Xiao Yi looked at Xia Yanran with his dark eyes and he hummed in response. He did not take the tissue from her and nodded at Wen Qian before going back to the SUV.

In the car, he took out a few tissues to wipe his hands.

Looking out of the window, his gaze landed on Xia Mo. “Get in the car.”

Xia Mo said to Xia Yanran, “Chief Editor Xia, then I’ll be leaving first.”

Xia Yanran waved at her and smiled. “Goodbye.”

After Xia Mo got into the car, the SUV sped away. Just like Xiao Yi said, the car had been repaired and could be started again.

When the car went back to the road, Xia Yanran looked out of the window, her expression slightly dazed.

On second thought, he had not looked at her in the eye from the moment she stopped his car and found that it was him inside.

In the past, he had always liked to go back on his words. When they had a fight, he would soon be shameless, but this time, he had changed.

Xia Yanran sighed slightly. Wasn’t this what she wanted?

Even if they met, they would be like strangers.

More than strangers.

Xia Yanran closed her eyes. She felt that it was good like this.

Each of them would have their own lives.
