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

As long as she took the first step, he would follow.

But this time it was different.

He did not catch up with her again.

Xia Yanran suddenly regretted what she had done. Why did she give up so easily? Why was she so quick to jump to breaking up?

If she had communicated with him well, things might not have turned out like this!

Xia Yanran and Xia Mo returned to the banquet hall and Xia Yanran sat at the corner of the sofa. Looking at Xiao Yi, who had achieved success one way or another and had taken to it all like a duck took to water, an unspeakable bitterness and loss swept through Xia Yanran’s heart.

Was it only when one lost something completely that one would know how happy and difficult it was to be together?

Xia Yanran ignored Xia Mo’s dissuasion and drank a lot of wine.

Usually she had a good tolerance for alcohol, but today she was feeling down and soon after, her head began to feel heavy and was slightly drunk.

“Sister Yanran, stop drinking. I’ll take you back to the hotel!”

Xia Yanran hummed in agreement.

What was the point in staying? Whenever she saw Xiao Yi talking and laughing with other socialites, she felt like she was suffocating.

Xia Mo stood up and let Nan Zhi know. As Nan Zhi was the host of the banquet and could not leave, she arranged for a chauffeur to take them back.

Soon after, Xia Mo helped Xia Yanran out of the banquet hall. Xia Yanran leaned against Xia Mo, rubbing her temples. “Momo, don’t tell my brother about what happened in the banquet hall. I don’t want him to worry.”

Xia Mo nodded sensibly. “Okay.”

After finding the car sent by Nan Zhi, Xia Mo helped Xia Yanran to the back seat. Xia Yanran had her eyes half closed and suddenly hit her head. “Momo, where’s my handbag?”

Xia Mo then remembered that she had forgotten to take Xia Yanran’s handbag when she was helping her out.

“Sister Yanran, wait a minute and I’ll go back and get it.”

When Xia Mo came back out after rus.h.i.+ng back to the banquet hall to take the handbag, she found that Xia Yanran was no longer in the car.

Xia Mo quickly asked the chauffeur.

The chauffeur replied, “That lady left with a Mr Xiao and asked you not to worry.”

A Mr Xiao?

Was it Uncle Xiao?

Xia Mo was still not at ease and she took out her phone, calling Xiao Yi.

Uncle Xiao’s private number was the same as before. The phone rang a few times before it got connected. The man’s low and cold voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Momo.”

Xia Mo could not help feeling slightly angry when she thought of how Uncle Xiao was unwilling to see Sister Yanran at the banquet hall, but now had taken her away. “Uncle Xiao, is Sister Yanran in your car? Where are you taking her? I have to take her back to the hotel.”

Xiao Yi could hear the dissatisfaction in Xia Mo’s tone and he laughed. “She got into the car herself.”

“Sister Yanran’s drunk.”

Xiao Yi did not say anything. He handed his phone to the woman who was leaning her head against the car window. “Tell Xia Mo yourself.”

Xia Yanran’s head was dizzy, but she was not completely irrational. When she heard Xiao Yi’s words, she took the phone and said, her words slightly slurred. “Momo, don’t worry. I just… I just want to ask him something. I’ll go back to the hotel after that. Ask the chauffeur to take you to the hospital first…”

After ending the call with Xia Mo, Xia Yanran returned the phone to Xiao Yi.

She huddled in the corner, frowning and her lips tightly pursed. Her face was flushed red and she looked pitiful.

Xiao Yi sat opposite her, his long legs crossed together and his fingers playing with an e-cigarette.

Taking in a breath, Xia Yanran met his eyes for a few seconds before she mustered up her courage to ask, “You won’t promise to marry the Marquis’s youngest daughter, will you?”
