Chapter 1088 - Suddenly (2/2)

Xiao Yi glanced at the caller ID and put down his chopsticks to take the phone.

Hearing the men’s conversation, Xia Yanran lost her appet.i.te to eat. She took a gla.s.s of water to drink, as her eyes slowly s.h.i.+fted onto the man sitting diagonally opposite of her.

A wave of emotion washed over her heart.

Was the person Tang Chao talked about a woman?

From Tang Chao’s tone, the relations.h.i.+p between the woman and Xiao Yi seemed to be quite good?

Xia Yanran looked down. She thought she had already learned how to let go slowly, but when she heard that he had an unknown relations.h.i.+p with another woman, sadness still spread in her heart slowly.

She took a deep breath, doing her best to ignore that feeling.

They had already broken up and had no relations to each other. Whatever relations.h.i.+p he had with others were no longer her concern.

However, why was learning how to let go so hard to accomplish?

Xiao Yi answered the call. The person on the other end of the call said something and Xiao Yi replied, “Alright, I’ll come over now.”

Xiao Yi returned Tang Chao his phone before he glanced at Xia Yanran. “Eat slowly, Tang Chao will send you back when you’re done.”

Tang Chao froze. From his tone, why did it sound like this wasn’t the first time he had met Beauty Xia?

Xiao Yi left hurriedly.

Tang Chao stared at his disappearing back, cursing unconsciously, “I really don’t know what this guy is thinking! That kind of woman is so coy and flirtatious, why can’t he ignore her? She must be h.o.r.n.y so she called him over so late at night!”

Xia Yanran’s hand on the table clenched slightly.

She glanced at Tang Chao quietly. “Was it his girlfriend?”

Tang Chao seemed to hesitate for a moment.

What in the world?

“I don’t know what’s wrong with Brother Xiao either. He actually played with her for a month now. Yes, she is pretty, but it’s obvious that she has done many surgeries.”

Tang Chao glanced at Xia Yanran. “Ultimately, people still like original beauties like you, Beauty Xia.”

Xia Yanran didn’t hear what Tang Chao said clearly, her mind only thinking about Xiao Yi going to meet a promiscuous woman.

And that woman managed to call him away with a call.

She was the one who suggested to break up and not contact each other anymore. When she suggested it, she would have thought that he would be good to another woman one day.

However, she never expected for the man to remove his feelings for her so quickly. It has only been a little more than three months, but he already has feelings for another woman.

No matter how good the food was, it felt like she was chewing wax now. Xia Yanran didn’t want to show her emotions in front of Tang Chao, as she smirked and forced her tone to sound light. “Mr Tang, thank you for the supper. I’m full now. I’m a little tired, so I’ll go back to the hotel first.”

Tang Chao was still planning to go shopping with Xia Yanran in B City after supper. Seeing that she wanted to leave, he hurriedly stood up. “I’ll go pay and send you back.”

Xia Yanran returned the jacket to Tang Chao. “It’s alright. Since we’re in the city now, I can take a taxi.”

Tang Chao was about to say something else, but Xia Yanran had already started to walk outside. The night was dark, but the busy city seemed like a sleepless city.

After hailing a taxi, Xia Yanran sat inside, a rainbow-lit tall building entering her sight. She leaned her forehead against the window, like a small animal that was trapped in a cage.

Why was forgetting a person so difficult?

Just a careless gaze or a small action from him was enough to tug at her heart.

She clearly knew there wouldn’t be an ending, but her emotions were drawn to him unconsciously still.

Xia Yanran buried her head further down, her neck and shoulders forming a lonely line. When she looked up again, her tears fell and blurred her sight.
