Chapter 1103 - What Did You Say? (1/2)

The sky grew darker and Xia Yanran tossed and turned in bed. She was exhausted, but somehow, she was not sleepy at all.

Bardahl had a big temperature difference between day and night. During the day it was like a hot stove, but at night it was cool.

Putting on a jacket, Xia Yanran went downstairs.

…

In the canteen.

Tang Chao looked at the time. Why was Brother Xiao not back yet?

After waiting for about ten minutes, there was a noise at the entrance of the canteen.

Xiao Yi and several foremen came back.

Tang Chao got up and went to Xiao Yi. “Why are you back so late today?”

“Something happened on the construction site. Some thieves came to make trouble.”

Tang Chao frowned. “Has it been settled?”

“The government took them away.”

Tang Chao cursed lowly.

Although the Bardahl project would bring them huge profits, it was undoubtedly dangerous. The security here was really very bad.

Xiao Yi came over with food and after taking a few bites, he looked at Tang Chao. “Why, you’re scared and want to go back home?”

Tang Chao rubbed his nose. “You’re not even afraid for your woman, what am I afraid of? Men must have a career!”

Xiao Yi laughed and continued to eat with his head lowered. But after a few seconds, he raised his head. “What did you say just now?”

Seeing Xiao Yi’s expression change so suddenly, Tang Chao decided to tease him. “I said that men have to have a career!”

“The sentence before it.”

“Before it?” Tang Chao touched his head, looking like he had forgotten what he had said. “What was it?”

“Young Master Tang, you were talking about President Xiao’s woman,” one of the foremen reminded Tang Chao helpfully.

Tang Chao laughed out loud. “Oh, so that’s what I said!” Then, he looked at Xiao Yi. “Did you receive the message I sent?”

Xiao Yi pursed his lips and took out his phone from his pants pocket. He saw that Tang Chao had sent him a message at noon and clicked on it.

‘F*ck! Your woman is here! Come back quickly!!!’

With a slap, Xiao Yi threw his chopsticks on the table and grabbed Tang Chao’s collar. “Is it very funny to make such a joke?”

Tang Chao’s collar tightened around his neck and he was almost out of breath. He pulled away Xiao Yi’s hands and looking at his tensed and cold face, he did not keep him hanging.

“The message was real. I went to pick her up in the afternoon, she was travel-worn and even met with thieves on the way. d.a.m.n, she really loves you!”

Xiao Yi’s body stiffened and after a while squeezed out the words. “Where is she?”

“She didn’t want to eat dinner so she’s in your room!”

Before Tang Chao could finish, he saw Xiao Yi turned and strode outside.

…

Xia Yanran walked around downstairs and then sat on a stone bench in the courtyard for a while. Hugging her knees, she sat there looking at the moon in the sky.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind Xia Yanran and she turned back, seeming to have felt something.

But that person was walking quite fast, running upstairs.

Xia Yanran knew it was Xiao Yi’s footsteps and she lifted her lips, laughing slightly, but did not call out to him.

Xiao Yi ran up to the second floor and perhaps feeling something, he came back downstairs again.
