Chapter 1163 - Reaping What One Sowed (1/2)

Xiao Yi leaned back against the chair lazily, staring at Xia Yanran with half-narrowed eyes. He had a small sneer on his lips. “Miss Xia, who are you to ask me?”

Hearing him call her ‘Miss Xia’ made Xia Yanran feel like her heart had been grasped tightly by an invisible hand.

But what could she be unhappy about?

She was the one who caused them to become like this!

Although she was sad and conflicted about her being infertile, ultimately, she was the one who didn’t trust his feelings for her enough. In the end, it was why they ended up missing each other.

Xia Yanran suppressed the bitterness and sadness in her heart. She smiled, acting normal. “We’ve known each other for so long after all, can’t we be friends even though we’ve broken up?”

Xiao Yi’s expression darkened slightly as he said indifferently, “I am never friends with women I break up with.”

Xia Yanran was speechless.

What in the world?

The atmosphere in the car immediately froze to a glacial temperature and it was extremely awkward.

Xia Yanran could tell that he didn’t want to talk to her anymore.

She closed her eyes, saying everything she wanted to, everything she had held in her heart. “When I left your apartment in B City that day, I left you a note. I waited at the garden for you for a very long time, but you didn’t go. I thought, I thought that you couldn’t accept the fact that we wouldn’t have children in the future, so I asked to break up…”

Pursing his lips tightly, Xiao Yi held up the electronic cigarette between his lips. He inhaled once, before he slowly exhaled with a silent puff. Smoke slowly rose and blurred his face, but his eyes looking at Xia Yanran were dark and emotionless.

Just as Xia Yanran thought that he wasn’t going to reply, she heard him say slowly, “Do you remember what I told you before? I don’t like people who keep talking about breaking up whenever something happens. I can forgive you once or twice, but anything more than that, I’ll feel tired too.”

Xia Yanran’s heart was clenched tightly.

She looked down, staying silent as she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

“There are bound to be challenges in life. If we got married and met with another challenge again, will you want a divorce? Miss Xia, I don’t have to stand at the same spot, waiting for you to regret your actions every time.”

Xia Yanran’s head started to spin, feeling as if her temple had been p.r.i.c.ked painfully.

She knew it. She understood everything he said.

Feelings were the weakest, pus.h.i.+ng at your most sensitive areas.

Xia Yanran didn’t want to let herself appear so ugly in front of him, so she nodded and looked down, hiding the disappointment in her eyes. “I never asked you for that… I’m really sorry for getting into your car forcefully.”

Xia Yanran looked up at the driver in front, saying politely, “I’m sorry, please stop the car.”

But since Xiao Yi didn’t speak, the driver didn’t dare stop.

It immediately fell so silent that they could even hear the sound of a needle falling on the floor.

Xiao Yi spoke slowly, “You’re drunk. If you get off now and something happens to you, I cannot answer to the Queen and your family.”

His voice was very calm, so calm he sounded like he was only scared that something might happen to her because he needed to answer to the people that cared for her. It sounded as though he was no longer present amongst those people.

Xia Yanran stopped asking to get out of the car. Xiao Yi was right. Her head was really dizzy right now, if anything happened to her, it would only make people who cared for her sad.

For the remainder of the trip, the two of them never spoke again.

To think that they were once so close, but now that they were sitting opposite each other, they were even worse than strangers.

Xia Yanran leaned her head against the window, closing her eyes slightly. All she was thinking about was that he was going to marry another woman in the future and would have children with another woman. Her heart clenched tightly, suffocating her.

With the alcohol showing its effects, and the pain in her heart, Xia Yanran felt even worse by the second.

Her head felt like it was going to split open.
