Chapter 1162 - She Got into His Car (1/2)

It turned out that with a change of status, a person’s aura and temperament would also change.

Before, there was an evilness in his eyes and his gaze was sharp and cold. From time to time, there would be a murderous look in them and at one glance, one would feel that he was not someone to be trifled with and was wild and cold.

But now, he had one hand in his pants pocket, the other holding a gla.s.s of champagne and was chatting with the Marquis and his wife. There was a steady and reserved smile on his face and he looked a little more elegant and n.o.ble.

Xia Yanran felt like her heart was scratched by a cat.

Never before had she felt that he was so far away from herself.

She did not know if her gaze was too heated, but the man who was talking to the Marquis and his wife suddenly tilted his head and looked at her over the crowds.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

His dark eyes stopped at her face calmly and after a few seconds, he looked away and continued his chat.

Xia Yanran lowered her long eyelashes.

A young guest approached Xia Yanran and Xia Yanran politely exchanged a few words with him before walking to the corner.

She drank two gla.s.ses of wine alone.

After Xia Mo circled around, she came to Xia Yanran. “Sister Yanran, Uncle Xiao is here too. You saw him, right?”

Xia Yanran hummed in acknowledgement.

“He seems quite popular. Look, many socialites are secretly looking at him.” Xia Mo swept her gaze around.

Xia Yanran had long noticed it.

Even when he was still in the mafia, many women had always liked him. Not to mention with his current status. Moreover, he was handsome and charming.

‘Sister Yanran, if you do something, I think Uncle Xiao won’t be able to escape from their clutches.”

Xia Yanran pursed her lips.

After talking with Nan Zhi, Xia Yanran had understood a lot of inconsistencies. She really wanted to find Xiao Yi to ask him about some things.

“Momo, I’ll be going to the back garden later. Help me tell Xiao Yi that I’ll be waiting for him at the spot where he was earlier.”

Xia Mo’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning when she heard that Xia Yanran was going to take the initiative. “Okay, okay!”

Although she was sweetly in love with Junyuan after coming to S Country, she was still paying attention to Sister Yanran and Uncle Xiao’s relations.h.i.+p problems.

They shouldn’t end up breaking up!

Xia Yanran went out of the banquet hall and went to the place where Xiao Yi had spoken to the man before. To boost her courage, she drank all the champagne in her gla.s.s.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Xia Mo ran over breathlessly.

Xia Yanran looked behind Xia Mo and did not see Xiao Yi.

“He doesn’t want to come, does he?”

Xia Mo puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, “I finally found the opportunity to talk to Uncle Xiao and told him that you’re waiting for him here, but he only replied with an ‘I’m busy’.”

Xia Mo thought of Uncle Xiao’s cold expression and was filled with indignation. “Is that still the Uncle Xiao I know? Did he become arrogant and changed after becoming the richest n.o.ble in the Capital?”

Xia Yanran thought of how when they had broken up before, it was as though someone had raked their nails over her heart. In the past, he would forgive her as long as she took the initiative or gave him a good feeling.

This time…

The gaze he had when he met her was distant and cold. He was in front of her but there seemed to be a layer of transparent film between them, making her unable to touch him easily.

“Sister Yanran, do you want me to drag Uncle Xiao over by force?”

Xia Yanran shook her head. “It’s fine. I don’t want to force him if he doesn’t want to come.”

Perhaps they had always made up very easily, so before she asked Momo to call Xiao Yi, she had the illusion of being fearless.
