Chapter 1102 - Heart Pounding (2/2)

To be honest, she was really worried that she would die before she got to see Xiao Yi.

Hearing Xia Yanran’s laughter, Tang Chao took off his sungla.s.ses and looked at the woman who had covered herself tightly. “F*ck, y-y-you’re Beauty Xia?”

Xia Yanran took off her veil, revealing a dark face. “If I didn’t do this, you’d probably not have seen me today.”

Tang Chao got down from the motorcycle quickly and hit the back of his head. “F*ck. I thought you were kidding, why did you really come here? Are you crazy? It’s not safe here and if you’re not careful, you’ll really die.”

Xia Yanran pointed at her face. “That’s why I have to do makeup like this.”

Tang Chao looked around Xia Yanran and raised his eyebrows. “Your bag was stolen?”

“Yes. But it’s lucky that I hid my important belongings on my body. So I’m okay.”

Looking at the optimistic Xia Yanran, Tang Chao shrugged. “You’re really not afraid of death for the sake of love.”

Xia Yanran smiled shyly.

Tang Chao patted the back seat of the motorcycle. “Brother Xiao went to the construction site. The signal’s not good there. I’ve sent him a message and I think he won’t see it for some time, so I’ll take you to where we live first.”

Xia Yanran nodded.

Along the way, Xia Yanran learned from Tang Chao that the city where their construction site was called Peace City. It used to be one of the most prosperous cities of Bardahl, but the war had destroyed everything.

When they arrived at Peace City, Xia Yanran saw that the houses on both sides of the road were shabby. They were either missing a door or window, or collapsed in shambles, looking extremely desolate.

Tang Chao took Xia Yanran to a building that had once been a government building. The building had lost its prior splendor and was covered with marks. At the door, Xia Yanran saw several women drying blankets and a few little boys without any clothes on.

“We’re staying here for the time being. These women lost their husbands and help with the cooking and laundry here.”

Xia Yanran nodded and greeted the women in English, before following Tang Chao into the house.

Tang Chao took Xia Yanran to the room right at the east on the third floor. “Brother Xiao stays here. You must be tired. I’ll go get some water and food first. You take a rest and have a nap.”

Xia Yanran nodded. “Alright, thank you.”

“No trouble. When Brother Xiao comes back and sees you, he’ll be over the moon.”

After Tang Chao left, Xia Yanran looked around the room. It was simple and dilapidated.

There was only one bed, one table and a stool with missing legs. There were spider webs in the corner of the wall and other than the bed, the rest of the room was covered in dust.

Xiao Yi must be very busy usually and he did not like anyone coming into his room, so those women did not tidy up his room.

After Tang Chao brought water and food up, Xia Yanran washed her face and ate a few bites of the food. First she took off the bedsheet and blanket, then she carried Xiao Yi’s dirty clothes and went downstairs to wash them.

The women were stunned when they saw Xia Yanran coming. The woman who followed Tang Chao up was clearly dark-skinned, how did she become a fair and beautiful girl in just a short while?

Xia Yanran smiled and greeted them, as well as explaining her skin color.

The women were very friendly and seeing Xia Yanran carrying Xiao Yi’s clothes, they understood that she might be CEO Xiao’s girlfriend and showed her where to wash the clothes.

It was sunny here and the clothes and blankets were dry by the evening.

Xia Yanran put the bedsheet on the bed and lay on it, her heart pounding. Xiao Yi was not back yet and she did not know how he would feel when he saw her after he returned.
