Chapter 1078 - He Proposed to Me (2/2)

Xia Mo nodded. “I want to ask about Uncle Xiao. I met Brother Xiao Feng today and he said Uncle Xiao left the mafia.”

Fourth Master Huo had his fingers on his chin and said with a slight frown. “I heard of this too. I tried contacting Xiao Yi, but his phone was turned off and I don’t know where he went. If Xiao Feng don’t know about it, I think he might be…”

Xia Mo’s heart tightened. “Might be what?”

“From what I know, it’s not easy leaving the mafia. One might lose his life.”

“I don’t believe Uncle Xiao is gone. He may be seriously injured and is just being treated.”

There was an unspeakable sadness in Xia Mo’s heart. Uncles Xiao was fine when they went to visit the school in the mountains. Now thinking back, he might have already decided to quit the mafia at the time.

He had worked hard to get to this point today. He had fought hard to achieve all of this and had just given it all up like this, even paying with his life, and for what?

Was it for Chief Editor Xia?

Xia Mo’s heart could not help quivering.

Without waiting for Fourth Master Huo to say anything, Xia Mo ran out in a hurry. Fourth Master Huo looked at Xia Mo’s back and his frown deepened.

Xia Mo bought the earliest ticket to Ning City the next day.

Once she got off the plane, she called Xia Yanran.

But the call could not get through.

She then remembered that the other day when she saw Wen Qian proposing to Chief Editor Xia, Chief Editor said that she was going abroad to do an interview and would give him an answer when she returned. Chief Editor Xia must be abroad now.

Xia Mo did not have any other way of contacting Xia Yanran. She then thought of Xia Yanran’s brother and called her colleague to ask about Xia Yanran’s home address.

After getting the address, Xia Mo took a taxi there.

When she arrived at the district where Xia Yanran lived, Xia Mo saw Chief Editor Xia’s brother getting into a car before she got out of the taxi. After a while, a beautiful young woman also got into the same car.

Was it not the right time for her to come? Chief Editor Xia’s brother was taking his girlfriend out for a date?

Somehow, Xia Mo’s mood suddenly felt down.

The driver asked Xia Mo if she was getting out of the taxi and Xia Mo found herself saying, “Follow that car.”

The car stopped by the beach.

The weather had been good recently and many people came to the beach.

Xia Mo bought a hat and followed Junyuan and that woman at a distance. When they came to a place where there were few people, they stopped.

Xia Mo quickly turned around and bent down, pretending to be interested in the beach.

“Junyuan, your senior proposed to me.”

Xia Mo was dumbstruck. So they weren’t a couple! But that couldn’t be right. If they weren’t a couple, why were they sneaking around?

After a few seconds, Xia Mo heard the doctor say coldly, “Congratulations.”

Perhaps the doctor was too cold, the woman’s voice sounded choked up. “Junyuan, is it really incurable? I won’t hide it from you. I still think of you in my heart and if you can cure it, I won’t accept your senior’s proposal…”

Xia Mo’s mouth twitched.

What the heck was this?

Was there something wrong with the doctor? From the woman’s tone, it seemed quite serious. She would be together with him if he was cured? Then did that mean that if he was not cured, she would marry his senior?
