Chapter 1124: Defensive

Xia Yanran’s pupils constricted.

She stared at that pair of stilettos for a moment, her chest heaving.

But she was not a girl anymore. She trusted Xiao Yi so she would not leave on an impulse because of a pair of high heels before finding out the truth.

If he really had any other thoughts, he would not give her the pa.s.sword for his house.

Xia Yanran’s heart that had jumped into her throat, slowly returned to normal.

Xia Yanran did not change her shoes and went into the living room with her suitcase.

When she was by the sofa, one of the room doors in the hallway that was connected to the living room, suddenly opened and a woman, who had just taken a bath and wearing a male s.h.i.+rt, walked out.

The woman had a slender figure, her long hair dripping wet and plastered to her shoulders. She was using a towel to wipe it.

The woman was wearing a pair of big men’s grey slippers. Her ankles were slender and her skin was delicate like a jade.

The woman had come out with her head lowered so Xia Yanran did not see her face. Seeming to have sensed something, the woman raised her head.

The two pairs of eyes met.

Slender eyebrows, bright eyes, delicate nose, charming red lips… With a glance, it was Yi Ran, the girl who was similar to Xia Yanran when she was young.

Xia Yanran’s heart that had calmed down pounded again, and wild thoughts ran rampant in her mind.

Why was Yi Ran here? And wasn’t it a little ambiguous for her to be wearing a man’s s.h.i.+rt and slippers?

Although Yi Ran was still a young girl, Xia Yanran thought of how she was at Yi Ran’s age when Xiao Yi took a fancy to her and bought her.

She knew that he liked girls like her, if not, he would not have bought her that year!

Did his old habit act up and mistook Yi Ran for when she was in her youth?

Xia Yanran put down her suitcase and regained her senses from her thoughts. She said with a slightly cold gaze, “Miss Yi, why are you here?”

Yi Ran also got out of her shock. She seemed to have gotten a fright and waved her hands hurriedly, saying anxiously, “Sister Yanran, d-don’t be mistaken. Sit down first…”

Yi Ran walked towards Xia Yanran and went past the living room, going into the kitchen to pour a cup of water for Xia Yanran. “Sister Yanran, I heard Brother Xiao Yi mention that you’ll be coming. You drove over here, right? You must be tired, have a drink of water first!”

Looking at Yi Ran, who had on the att.i.tude of the female owner of the house, Xia Yanran was unable to be courteous to her. “I’m asking you, why are you here?”

She hardened her voice, a sharpness in her eyes.

Xia Yanran was a bright person. She usually liked to make friends and was also kind to others. When she saved Yi Ran in Bardahl, she felt that the girl was pure and cheerful, like how she was when she was young, so she had quite a good impression on her.
