Chapter 1120 - Relationships Needed to be Warmed As Well (2/2)

Xia Yanran was watching television in the living room when Yi Ran sat next to her and pa.s.sed her a cup of red date tea. “Dr Wei from the Royal Hospital gave this to the Old Madam so help her regain some life. I saw that Sister Yanran’s face doesn’t look too good, do you want to try a cup?”

Dr Wei from the Royal Hospital?

Xia Yanran’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. If she didn’t remember wrongly, the doctor who did her checkup yesterday had a surname ‘Wei’ as well.

Could it be so coincidental that it was the same doctor?

Seeing Xia Yanran blank out, Yi Ran blinked her bright eyes. “Sister Yanran, what’s wrong?”

Xia Yanran shook her head. “Oh, I’m fine.”

Judging from Xia Yanran’s reaction, Yi Ran was sure that Dr Wei wasn’t llying.

Yi Ran smiled brightly. “Sister Yi Ran, you should try this tea! It’s good for women.”

…

After Xiao Yi came out from the Old Madam’s study, Xia Yanran stood up.

If Dr Wei was the one who did her checkup yesterday, she might have told the Old Madam about her condition after seeing her. Did the Old Madam call Xiao Yi in to tell him this?

Xia Yanran felt extremely uneasy, feeling like she was a criminal awiaitng her sentence. She stared straight at Xiao Yi, who walked towards her with large strides. He caressed her head. “The Old Madam said that you’re very good and told me to love you properly in the future.”

Xia Yanran’s heightened heart eased immediately.

The Old Madam then called Xia Yanran into the room alone, taking out a set of jewelery. “I wanted to give this to Xiao Yi’s Aunt at first, but since she’s no longer here and Xiao Yi is her only family, treat this as my meeting gift to you! I don’t have much longer to live anyway. In life, you’re bound to meet some problems, but don’t afraid and don’t give up, there will be a day where everything will work out.”

From her words, Xia Yanran vaguely guessed that the Old Madam knew about it, but since the Old Madam didn’t say anything, she never mentioned it either.

…

After they left the Old Madam’s manor, Xia Yanran and Xiao Yi went to the hotel to take their luggage before they rushed to the airport.

After they parted that day, Xiao Yi put all of his attention into his work. However, he would call or message Xia Yanran everyday.

At Peace City, the workers there were slowly able to handle the construction sites themselves, so Xiao Yi and Tang Chao returned to their company office at B City to work on more projects.

When they got busy, they lost track of their days. Xiao Yi had always been a person who was able to take hards.h.i.+ps, so in order to pull in more projects and get a proper footing in B City, he couldn’t help but break his ban on drinking as he had to wine and dine with his partners.

Seeing Xiao Yi work so hard, Tang Chao felt that it was strange. To be honest, Brother Xiao should relax slightly now that the company was doing better. However, he didn’t. One day, when Xiao Yi had drank too much, Tang Chao used the chance to ask him about it. He heard from Xiao Yi that he wanted to list the company and become one of the top corporations in the country.

When Tang Chao heard Xiao Yi’s ambitions, he didn’t think it was impossible to reach. Instead, his pa.s.sion and blood boiled within him.

On this day, Tang Chao and Xiao Yi had just finished a meal with the construction agency’s leader. They walked out of the clubhouse as Tang Chao elbowed Xiao Yi. “Brother Xiao, your career is important, but you cannot ignore your relations.h.i.+p too. How long has it been since you parted with Sister-in-law in the Capital?”

With Tang Chao’s reminder, Xiao Yi finally remembered that Xia Yanran was either in a meeting or a business trip when he called her recently. She rarely replied to his messages either. He put all of his attention on work, but ignored that he needed to put some attention on his relations.h.i.+p as well.

He hit his head, slightly drowsy as he said, “It’s almost been two months.”
