Chapter 1177 - He Looked at Her Deeply (1/2)

Xia Yanran did not want to turn herself into a resentful woman.

After all, she was the one who wanted the breakup. Even if they slept together that night, she had said she did not care about the one night stand when she called him.

Now that he was single, it was his right to eat with other women and send them home. She had no right to interfere! She was here for work today and could not bring in her personal feelings.

Because she had an appointment, Xia Yanran was not stopped like Junyuan the other time.

But when she was registering at the front desk, the front desk staff looked at her strangely. Actually, it was not strange but more like sizing her up, like those staring when one was looking at a celebrity.

Xia Yanran’s scalp tingled at the blatant stare.

When she reached the top level, a.s.sistant Fang brought Xia Yanran into Xiao Yi’s office.

Xiao Yi sat behind the desk, his head lowered as he was signing doc.u.ments. Xia Yanran could imagine even with her eyes closed that his signature must be strong and forceful.

“President Xiao, Miss Xia is here.” a.s.sistant Fang reminded Xiao Yi, who was still looking down. He really did not understand what President Xiao had up his sleeves. His girlfriend was here, but he was not even looking at her.

Xiao Yi hummed coldly.

a.s.sistant Fang made a cup of coffee for Xia Yanran and went out of the office.

Now, Xiao Yi and Xia Yanran were the only two people left in the vast s.p.a.ce. Xia Yanran saw that he was silent and did not disturb him. She sat on the sofa and took a sip of the coffee.

But she could not help glancing at the man behind the desk from the corner of her eye.

Today, he was wearing a black s.h.i.+rt and the tailored cloth wrapped fittingly around his slender body. Faint stubble covered his jaw and a mature man’s charm was vividly enhanced in him.

Xia Yanran found that he was more stable and reserved than before. When a man reached a certain age, his temperament would change and his charm would grow with each pa.s.sing day.

Perhaps noticing her gaze, he suddenly raised his head and looked at her.

Their eyes met.

He looked at her, his handsome face calm and there was a cold aura hidden in his body.

Over the years, what had remained unchanged was the sense of oppression that naturally emanated from him.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Xia Yanran thought of the purpose of her visit and she put down the cup of coffee, standing up from the sofa.

Xiao Yi looked down again and flipped through the doc.u.ments in front of him.

Click, click, click.

The crisp sound of high heels on the floor could be heard. Xia Yanran walked to the desk in a sullen mood and broke the dead silence. “President Xiao, I’m Xia Yanran, the chief editor of XX Magazine. I’m here to interview you.”

Xiao Yi raised his wrist to look at the time. “You’ve already wasted ten minutes. You still have another ten minutes.”

Xia Yanran looked at his cold and unapproachable expression and felt infuriated.

d.a.m.n it, when you f*cking slept with me, why didn’t you calculate your time so accurately then?

Xia Yanran was angry, but she did not waste time arguing. She took out the stand and put the camera on it, adjusting it to video mode.

She took out a notebook from her bag and looked at the man who had laid down the report. He sat elegantly on the leather chair with his arms crossed, his dark eyes like whirlpools staring at the camera lens.

Xia Yanran quickly entered her professional interview state. “President Xiao, thank you for accepting this interview from our magazine. From what I know, your corporation has a wide range of businesses, ranging from finance and real estate, to marketing and communication, branded shopping malls and so on. Will you continue to expand to other fields after taking over? What are your plans for the future operations of your corporation?”
