Chapter 1144 - Why She Left (1/2)

It wasn’t a secret that Yi Ran had gotten an important contract signed for the company. Not only that, she had also gotten their boss to agree to treat everyone to go to a spa resort as a celebration. From these points alone, many colleagues saw Yi Ran as their future boss lady in private.

Several a.s.sistants that were close to Yi Ran would tease her about the boss occasionally. Although Yi Ran would scold them, her heart felt sweet.

Ever since Brother Xiao Yi called Xia Yanran that time, his att.i.tude to her seemed to change a little. He would stare at her and daze out occasionally, a hint of gentleness appearing on his stiff and stern expression as well.

Maybe it was because she looked like Xia Yanran, so he would think of her when he looked at her!

She didn’t mind that.

After all, she was younger than Xia Yanran and could get pregnant. Not like that selfish woman!

From her observations, it seemed like Xia Yanran didn’t contact Xiao Yi again, their relations.h.i.+p cutting off just like that. However, they spent so many years running around each other. Whether or not they could cut their relations.h.i.+p clean was a huge question to Yi Ran.

She knew she had to take the initiative first and get pregnant with his child. The trip to the spa resort this weekend would be the perfect opportunity.

…

Very soon, the long-awaited weekend arrived.

That day, Yi Ran put on some exquisite makeup and wore a dress that showed off her figure.

Tang Chao had taken off the bandage on his head. After hearing that the company staff were going to the spa resort, he got into Xiao Yi’s car as well.

When he saw the prettily dressed Yi Ran, Tang Chao looked like his eyes were going to pop up from his head as he stared at her. “Yi Ran, you’re really pretty today.”

A shy giggle left Yi Ran’s lips.

By now, the whole crowd of staff were starting to arrive at the spa resort.

Xiao Yi didn’t go to the spa to relax with his colleagues, choosing to work in his room instead before he went with all of his colleagues for dinner.

Although Xiao Yi was usually stern and strict when it came to work, he was more easy-going and cool in private. He told his staff to drink and eat as much as they wanted.

The male colleagues all drank quite a bit, so they started to let go of their professional demeanor. Several young male colleagues liked Yi Ran, thinking that she was young, pretty and capable, so they all mustered their courage to chat up Yi Ran.

Thinking about what she should do at night, Yi Ran didn’t dare drink too much. Nearing the end of the dinner, Yi Ran brought a gla.s.s of wine to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was talking to several of the higher management. When Yi Ran walked towards him, some of the drunk people started to cheer.

“Cross your arms to drink! Cross your arms!”

Xiao Yi glanced at Tang Chao. Tang Chao was slightly drunk as he started to clap with the rest, shouting the same words as well.

Waving her hands in front of her face, Yi Ran said shyly. “Please stop joking about President Xiao and me, everyone. If Sister-in-law finds out about it, she’ll be unhappy.”

“Yi Ran, you probably don’t know, but Brother Xiao and Xia Yanran have already broken up! Brother Xiao is a golden bachelor now!” Tang Chao burst in.

Xiao Yi furrowed his eyebrows quietly.

Afraid that Tang Chao’s words would make Xiao Yi unhappy, Yi Ran hurriedly spoke up, “President Xiao, Young Master Tang has drank too much. I believe in Sister Yanran and your relations.h.i.+p.”

Xiao Yi stood up, covering Yi Ran with his tall shadow. Yi Ran’s heart started to beat faster, her body shaking slightly in her high heels. Seeing that she was about to fall towards Xiao Yi, a strong hand caught her arm.

When her skin touched his warm and hand, her lashes fluttered crazily.

Xiao Yi smirked and clinked their gla.s.ses together.

As Yi Ran watched him down the gla.s.s of alcohol, she stared at his jawline and well-defined features, and her heart couldn’t help but flutter.

On the outside, she drank her gla.s.s coolly.

Even though Brother Xiao Yi usually kept a distance between them, he probably had some feelings for her too!

She noticed that he only took a small sip of alcohol when some of the female colleagues toasted with him earlier. But just now, he drank the whole gla.s.s.

She was different.

After dinner, Yi Ran gestured quietly to Tang Chao and the two of them walked to a corner outside. She asked softly, “Did you put the drug in front of Brother Xiao Yi’s room air conditioner?”

“I did as you said.”

Tang Chao was the one who had arranged the rooms for the staff, so Yi Ran stretched her hand out. “Where’s Brother Xiao Yi’s room key?”

Tang Chao pa.s.sed a key card to Yi Ran.

Yi Ran returned to her room to take a shower before she changed into a black nightgown.

Then, she went out and went straight to Xiao Yi’s room.

She had already calculated the time. At this time, Xiao Yi should feel the heat all over his body and would need a woman to help him relieve the pain and heat.

Just as she was about to open the door, a figure suddenly walked out from inside. That person was wearing a black outfit, looking tall and handsome.
