Chapter 1178 - Called Him After Getting Drunk (1/2)
After the interview, Xia Yanran received a call from Nan Zhi. The bridesmaid dress was ready and she asked Xia Yanran to go to the Crown Palace to try it on.
Xia Yanran rushed to the Crown Palace and tried on the dress.
It fit perfectly.
After trying the dress, Nan Zhi called Yan Hua and she took the two of them to a newly opened high-end clubhouse for dinner.
Xia Yanran was not in a good mood. She knew that she could not blame anyone being at this state with Xiao Yi. Not only Xiao Yi, she was also beginning to hate herself now.
She was always relying on the fact that Xiao Yi would not really leave her and was wearing down their feelings fearlessly.
Now, she regretted it, but she did not even have the courage to ask to reconcile with him.
Why was she such a coward? Why?
Xia Yanran drank a lot of wine and Yan Hua and Nan Zhi could not stop her.
After the meal, Nan Zhi wanted Xia Yanran to go back to Crown Palace with her, but Xia Yanran refused, choosing to leave on her own.
…
Back at the hotel, Xia Yanran lay on the bed. Picking up the telephone on the bedside table, she called Xiao Yi.
Wine made people brave.
This saying was not wrong at all. She wanted to say all the things she wanted to say to Xiao Yi using the courage she got from the wine.
The phone rang several times.
Just when Xia Yanran thought that no one was answering, the call went through.
“h.e.l.lo?”
It was a woman’s voice.
Xia Yanran’s blood seemed to have frozen in an instant.
Seeing that Xia Yanran was not speaking, the woman on the other end of the line said without much emotion, “You’re looking for Xiao Yi, right? He went to the washroom. I’ll ask him to call you back when he comes out?”
Xia Yanran mumbled a quick ‘no’ and hung up.
She turned off her phone.
Leaning against the pillow, she sobbed without a care.
Why was this love of theirs so exhausting?
…
In the clubhouse room.
Xiao Yi came out of the washroom and Zhen Mi handed him his phone. “A woman called you just now and I said you were in the washroom. I think she must have misunderstood something.”
Xiao Yi took the phone and he smirked when he saw that it was the number from the hotel Xia Yanran was staying at.
Zhen Mi saw Xiao Yi smiling and blew out a mouthful of smoke, asking with interest, “Your girlfriend?”
Xiao Yi did not reply. He took his phone and went aside, calling back.
It rang for some time, but no one answered.
Then Xiao Yi called Xia Yanran’s phone, but she had turned it off.
Xiao Yi’s mood that had just improved slightly, turned gloomy.
She hadn’t changed at all!
Hearing a woman answering his phone and she started to overthink, not asking him personally. Why was she so infuriating?!
Xiao Yi frowned and rubbed his temples.
He felt exhausted, both physically and mentally.
A cigarette appeared in front of him. Xiao Yi raised his eyes and looked at Zhen Mi who was standing beside him, taking the cigarette she had pa.s.sed over.
