Chapter 1137 - Revealing Her True Colors (1/2)

Yi Ran was working overtime at the office.

When she felt slightly tired, she went to the pantry to make a cup of coffee and by habit, took out her phone to look at the news.

She saw a video that one of their clients had uploaded, the caption saying: Accidentally Saw President Xiao proposing.

Yi Ran’s heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly opened the video. The video was of Xiao Yi confessing to Xia Yanran on the ma.s.sive LED screen.

Yi Ran felt all of her blood flowing backwards.

He was proposing so quickly?

The scorching hot coffee spilled a little on the back of her hand, her skin a scalding red.

Yi Ran didn’t have the chance to feel that pain when her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Yi Ran’s expression changed.

Most of the staff had already left work, so Yi Ran was the only one left in the pantry.

Tang Chao was about to leave as well, but because he saw Yi Ran walk to the pantry when he left his office, he wanted to ask Yi Ran to go with him for a dinner meeting with one of their big clients, so he went to the pantry as well.

Just as he was about to reach the room, Tang Chao heard a woman’s angry voice trail from the pantry. “How can I get into his heart so quickly? Just because I look similar to Xia Yanran? Don’t worry, I have my own plans. So what if they got married? Xia Yanran cannot get pregnant. Even if Xiao Yi can bear it now, do you think he can bear it in the future? He’s a traditionalist, it’s impossible for him to not want any children…”

Tang Chao heard Yi Ran’s words and glanced into the pantry, seeing a dark and ugly expression on Yi Ran’s usually pretty and bright face. It was a look he was completely unfamiliar with, and he furrowed his eyebrows immediately.

Sensing that something was wrong, Yi Ran turned back and saw a figure leaving.

Yi Ran’s heart clenched as she hurriedly bid farewell to the person on the other end of the call before she hurriedly walked to the entrance.

Tang Chao had already entered the elevator. The doors were about to close when a slender hand stretched in.

The elevator doors opened once more and Yi Ran walked in.

As the elevator moved down, there were only Tang Chao and Yi Ran in the small s.p.a.ce.

Yi Ran glanced at Tang Chao carefully, her heart skipping a beat because of his dark expression. Did he hear her conversation? How much had he heard?

A coldness flashed in Yi Ran’s eyes, but she didn’t show it. Tears covered her eyes instead. “Young Master Tang, did you misunderstand me?”

Tang Chao glanced at Yi Ran, who suddenly acted pitifully. He hummed coldly. “I suddenly understand everything. You joined the company, acting like you’re very driven and can do everything because of Brother Xiao, right? You even acted pitifully in front of me to sow discord between Xia Yanran and I purposefully by making me think that she’s not good enough. You’ve really put in a lot of effort!”

The elevator arrived at the bas.e.m.e.nt, and Tang Chao rushed out angrily.

Yi Ran’s expression was tensed as she chased after him.

Tang Chao got into his car, only to have Yi Ran open the front pa.s.senger seat door and get on as well.

Tang Chao glanced at Yi Ran. “Get off!”

Yi Ran’s eyes were covered with bright tears. “Young Master Tang, you’ve really misunderstood me. I’m not who you think I am, can you listen to my explanation?”

Tang Chao laughed coldly. “What else is there to explain?”

Yi Ran suddenly took out a sharp dagger from her bag. Tang Chao furrowed his brows tightly. “Why? Now that you’ve showed your real face, you want to harm me?”

Yi Ran looked down, her tears falling. “I’ve been an orphan since young and was brought up by the Old Madam. I’m sure you know this too. Brother Xiao Yi’s Aunt is the Old Madam’s daughter, now that the Old Madam had been diagnosed with cancer and doesn’t have more to leave, she sees Brother Xiao Yi as her grandson. She wanted to see Brother Xiao Yi had a child before she leaves, thinking that she could let that child have her surname and let Brother Xiao Yi manage her company, so she forced me to approach Brother Xiao Yi and want me to have a child with him…

“I really don’t want to ruin Sister Yanran and Brother Xiao Yi’s relations.h.i.+p, but the Old Madam threatened me with her kindness to me, so I can’t not do it.” Yi Ran’s lips s.h.i.+vered as her tears fell nonstop. “If only Sister Yanran can have a child, I wouldn’t have to bear this responsibility. Young Master Tang, my heart feels really bitter…

“If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you.” Yi Ran took her dagger and pressed it against her slender wrist.
