Chapter 1123 - Her Words Could Make Him Come All the Way (1/2)

Xia Mo’s heartbeat sped up slightly.

But she could not be like before, showing her emotions so clearly on her face. He rarely came so close to her on his own initiative and he was so close that she could clearly smell the clean and fresh scent on him.

Her hands that were hanging by her sides clenched into fists and she tried to control her panicking heart.

Xia Mo. Don’t let yourself sink any further.

She did not want to experience that sharp and stifling pain after her failed confession last time. Never again.

Looking at his gla.s.s-like clear eyes, Xia Mo was afraid that he would say words that would embarra.s.s her the next second. In order to conceal her feelings, she smiled even deeper. “Doctor, you don’t have to apologize to me. I’ve already walked out of the hurt you’ve brought to me.”

But had she walked out of it?

Junyuan frowned slightly and the image of the big boy holding her at the airport the other day appeared in his mind. The boy was tall and handsome, and they looked compatible standing together.

Xia Mo saw that Junyuan was silent and still had his hand pressed on her car door. They were standing very close and she could see the eyelashes on his lowered eyes and his fair and flawless skin.

He was beautiful and Xia Mo dug her fingernails into her palms, reminding herself to keep calm.

He was here to apologize to her and should have no other motives, so it was better that she did not have any wishful thinking.

Junyuan looked down at Xia Mo. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Xia Mo’s heart skipped a beat.

What kind of question was this?

There was a faint expectation in her heart, followed by a fear.

“It’s that boy from the airport that day, right? You look quite good together.”

Her cheerful feeling disappeared because of his words. There was a trace of anger in her eyes and her face was tense. “Really? You think we look good together?”

Junyuan hummed and then withdrew his hand that was pressing against the car door.

Xia Mo raised her chin and there was anger in her eyes. “Okay, I’ve received your apology. My boyfriend and I will be happy.” Her tone was unfriendly and there was an obvious unhappiness to her voice.

Junyuan saw her att.i.tude towards him becoming bad, and a complicated look flashed past his eyes. Without saying anything more, he stepped aside and let Xia Mo get into the car.

“Be careful.”

With a bang, Xia Mo slammed the car door shut, blocking out his evil face and unpleasant voice.

The sports car then sped away.

After getting out of the district, Xia Mo lowered the car window. She was almost charmed by him when he put his hand on the car door and their bodies were close.

Fortunately, she did not do anything embarra.s.sing. But she felt ashamed of herself, because for that few seconds, she even hoped that he would kiss her.

Xia Mo took out her phone and made a call.

After ringing for a while, the person on the other end of the line finally answered. Loud music could be heard and there were sounds of gla.s.ses clinking together and laughter.

Young Master Huo said lazily, “Little Momo, why are you calling at such a late hour? You miss me?”

Xia Mo could not help rolling her eyes. “You have so many girls around you, you don’t need me.”

“Tsk, tsk. Can’t you just coax me? Tell me, why did you call me at this hour?”

“Didn’t you say you want to introduce a boyfriend to me the other time? I’ve thought it over. Ask him out for me and see when he’s free to meet me!”

“What a surprise. I thought you were going to be an old woman forever!”

“Can’t you put it in a nicer way?”

“Okay, okay, I got it. I’ll send you a text once I’ve arranged it.”

…

The next day.

Xia Yanran was still asleep when the doorbell rang.

She had a splitting headache and did not want to get up. Snuggling herself deeper into the blanket, she turned over and continued sleeping.

But the doorbell was like an evil sound, ringing nonstop.

Argh! Shut up!

Xia Yanran opened her eyes. Not only was she having a headache, her eyes were slightly dry because of her hangover. She rubbed her eyes and felt around, picking up the alarm clock on the bedside table.

It was almost eight o’clock.

Xia Yanran hurriedly lifted her blanket.

The doorbell was still ringing.

Xia Yanran thought Junyuan had forgotten his keys when he went out in the morning and she had no time to freshen up. She ran towards the door barefooted.

Xia Yanran was stunned when she pulled open the door.

It was not Junyuan, but Xiao Yi.

He was wearing a black s.h.i.+rt, faint stubble covering his jaw. He had one hand on the wall and the other was continuing the action of pressing the doorbell.

The rays of light from the corridor shone from behind his shoulders and landed on his well-defined face, showing the tiredness of staying up. His deep eyes were bloodshot like he had not rested all night .

Their eyes met.

Xia Yanran’s head that was still slightly in pain suddenly thought of some things about last night. Did she video call him? What did she say?

Because of her words, he came all the way here?
