Chapter 1161 - There Are Many Women Who Want to Marry Him (2/2)

Nan Zhi looked at the change in Xia Yanran’s expression and pulled Xia Yanran’s hand away from her head, saying gently, “Yanran, don’t blame yourself too much. It’s a woman’s nature to overthink. Besides, it was understandable for your EQ to plummet when you felt that you’re unable to have children for Xiao Yi.”

Xia Yanran sniffed. “Although I still have many doubts, I suddenly understood something. Xiao Yi couldn’t have gotten involved with a subst.i.tute just because I proposed to break up.”

What kind of person was he? Being involved in a b.l.o.o.d.y and scheming world, what kind of things had he not experienced?

There should be many women who wanted to climb into his bed, but had they succeeded?

As long as he didn’t want to, even if he was drunk or drugged, he would not touch those women!

And she believed Yi Ran’s words.

The child in Yi Ran’s stomach must be another man’s!

Nan Zhi saw that Xia Yanran had thought through quite a few things and she smiled slightly, patting Xia Yanran’s arm lightly. “It’s good that you’ve thought it through. When you encounter something in the future, the two of you should communicate and discuss more.”

Xia Yanran gave a bitter laugh. “I’ve probably worn out his feelings for me. I don’t know if we have a chance to be together again.”

A guest came to look for Nan Zhi and Nan Zhi looked at Xia Yanran. “If you want to be with him for the rest of your life, then muster up your courage. Go and find him.”

After Nan Zhi went to talk with the other guests, Xia Yanran circled around the banquet hall. Her eyes were searching around, and she looked at all directions and corners from time to time.

There were too many guests who attended the banquet. Maybe Xiao Yi did not come after all. Xia Yanran could not find him.

After a while, she was sure that he did not come.

Xia Yanran took a gla.s.s of champagne and went to the back garden. She had walked for a moment when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

The man was very tall. He was wearing an impeccable black suit and was talking to a man. She did not know what the man said, but Xiao Yi raised his wine gla.s.s at him.

Xia Yanran’s heart skipped a beat.

He was able to blend in no matter what the occasion was. Looking at his appearance now, one could hardly tell that he used to be a big boss of the mafia.

Instead of continuing forward, Xia Yanran turned, going back to the banquet hall and went to the washroom. Washrooms had always been the birthplace of all kinds of gossip.

When she was about to leave the cubicle, she heard two socialites discussing softly…

“Did you hear about it? The Marquis is planning to marry his youngest daughter to the newly started businessman, Mr Xiao.”

“The Marquis was formerly with the Prince. After the Prince’s treason, the King weakened the Marquis’s power. Now the Marquis only has the t.i.tle and was not as good as before in all aspects. The Marquis is also a shrewd man. Now that Mr Xiao has become the richest new n.o.ble in the Capital, he would naturally gain some benefits, marrying his daughter over!”

“It’s a win-win situation. Although Mr Xiao is rich, getting involved with the aristocrats, his status will also be improved.”

“I heard that the Marquis’s daughter is quite beautiful. Previously, the Marquis planned to marry her into the Prince’s family, but the Shangguan’s eldest daughter got the advantage…”

The voices gradually faded away. Xia Yanran pushed open the cubicle door and came out, not looking too good.

Yi Ran had just exited, what, now the Marquis’s daughter was coming into the scene?

Xia Yanran washed her hands and hurried out of the washroom.

She thought that Xiao Yi was still talking to the person in the back garden, but he had gone into the banquet hall and was talking to a couple with a beautiful young girl beside them.

Xia Yanran stood frozen on the spot, her gaze on Xiao Yi. He was wearing a tailor-made suit, a white s.h.i.+rt with a straight collar inside. His figure was tall and straight, his facial features handsome and cold. Under the bright lights, the outline of his face was smooth and exquisite, making it difficult to look away from him.
