Chapter 1100 - Not Allowed to Say Anything Bad About Him (1/2)
Hearing that Xia Yanran was willing to find Xiao Yi, the weight was finally lifted off his shoulders.
His sisters had grown up now and his wish was for them to be happy and that their future half would be able to give them a stable life.
Now that Xiao Yi had left the b.l.o.o.d.y world of the mafia and was living an ordinary life, he had no reason to stop them.
Junyuan patted Xia Yanran’s head and said gently, “Okay, now go to work!”
Xia Yanran stood up from the sofa and seeming to have thought of something, she looked at Junyuan. “Brother, did Xiaomo say anything to you when you took her home last night?”
Junyuan’s jaw clenched tight.
Xia Mo’s confession was too frank last night. At that time, he was slightly dazed and did not know how to respond. She was so noisy, shouting ‘Doctor, I like you’ over and over again… Maybe she was too drunk to remember what she had said last night.
Junyuan’s face turned hot. He was not a person who was easily shy, but thinking about how Xia Mo’s way of confessing her feelings to him was too direct, no matter how calm of a person he was, he would still be confused when met with a situation where she kept saying she liked him.
Xia Yanran looked at Junyuan’s expression and guessed that Xia Mo might have confessed to him. Xia Mo was brave enough to speak out about liking him and did not hide it in her heart, which many people could not do.
“Brother, Momo is a nice girl. What do you think of her?”
Junyuan had already calmed down and he said, “No idea. She’s just a little girl in my heart.”
Yanran was not surprised by Junyuan’s train of thought.
Her brother had a strong sense of self-esteem. He was unlikely to fall in love again given the circ.u.mstances of his body.
“Brother, if you try to not treat Xiaomo as a little girl, you will find how wonderful and attractive she is.”
Junyuan only smiled and said nothing else.
After Xia Yanran left, Junyuan returned to his bedroom and looked at the heart-shaped stethoscope on the bedside table, his expression slightly dazed.
When he was leaving after taking the drunk Xia Mo home, she was still mumbling for him to take the stethoscope.
…
After Xia Yanran arrived at the magazine agency, she found the HR manager and told her she wanted to take extended leave.
But the HR department did not approve and asked her to look for the magazine agency’s boss.
When the boss learned that Xia Yanran was going to take extended leave, she said earnestly, “Yanran, you’ve just gotten promoted and you can’t take leave for that long. How about this, if you have something urgent, I’ll give you a three-day leave to settle your matters. The other time you managed to interview Mrs Wen and it made the performance of our company multiply by several times. The superiors and I are very optimistic about your ability.
“You’ll have a chance to be promoted again in the future. We women can’t give up our careers at anytime.”
The boss was right. Xia Yanran did not know what would happen after she found Xiao Yi in Bardahl. If she quit her job, she would have to start again. She was not young anymore and it would not always be so smooth, being promoted and having a raise in a short time.
After weighing the options, Xia Yanran agreed to take only three days off.
It would be five days plus the weekend.
Xia Yanran contacted Tang Chao. After meeting in B City, they had exchanged their WeChat.
After inquiring indirectly where they were in Bardahl, Xia Yanran bought a ticket to Bardhal.
…
The night was getting darker.
Xia Mo, who had spent the day in a state of anger and distraction, still drove to XX Hotel.
The hotel was under the Huo family and when Xia Mo first came to Ning City, she had stayed in the presidential suite for a period of time.
When the manager saw Xia Mo, he greeted her respectfully, “Miss Xia, to what do we owe the pleasure?”
