Chapter 1178 - Called Him After Getting Drunk (2/2)

“It’s really your girlfriend? When are you going to introduce her to me?”

Xiao Yi glanced at Zhen Mi and gave her a ‘do I know you that well?’ look. Not wanting to mention Xia Yanran, he asked in a deep voice, “You’re one of the few pairs of eyes that know hypnosis, why can’t you hypnotize Yi Ran?”

Xiao Yi asked for Yi Ran to be confined to a cell by herself. The other time Junyuan mentioned to him that Xia Yanran was unable to get pregnant, he kept thinking that it might have something to do with Yi Ran.

But Yi Ran was tight-lipped. He tortured her, threatened and intimidated her, but she refused to say a word.

“I also find it strange. At my level, I shouldn’t have failed. Even if she knew hypnosis, I think my skills are better than hers. But I don’t know why it doesn’t work on her.”

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and his long fingers played with the cigarette Zhen Mi had pa.s.sed to him. “If something isn’t right, there must be a demon in the shadows.”

…

Xia Yanran woke up with a hangover and her head felt heavy.

She had been too indulgent on herself recently. She would get drunk when she was in a bad mood.

She could not go on like this.

Getting up from the bed, Xia Yanran went to the bathroom to take a bath. As she was putting on a facial mask, she turned on her phone.

There were several missed calls and one of them was from Xiao Yi.

Before Xia Yanran could think of why he had called her, she had a phone call. It was from Shu Min.

Xia Yanran quickly answered it.

“Sister Shu.”

“Yanran, after I returned to Ning City, I heard from the old dean of the orphanage who the girl beside Yi Ran was.”

Xia Yanran’s long and thick eyelashes fluttered. “Sister Shu, who is she?”

“I only know that her name is Xiaoxi and as for her surname, even the old dean doesn’t know.”

Xia Yanran frowned. That girl was Xiaoxi. No wonder she felt that she looked familiar when she first saw her!

If Xia Yanran remembered correctly, Xiaoxi did not leave until Xiao Yi got rid of Second Master Qin and she went to Hong Kong to make up with Xiao Yi.

At that time, Xiao Yi had already noticed that Xiaoxi had feelings for him, her adoptive father. Xiaoxi had left on bad terms with Xiao Yi. She had broken off her relations.h.i.+p with him as her adoptive father and swore to never have contact with him.

Later, Xia Yanran learned from Xiao Yi that Xiaoxi had threatened him before. If he wanted to stay with Xia Yanran, she would inform Second Master Qin about it.

Xiaoxi had already thrown away the kins.h.i.+p Xiao Yi had for her. After she left, Xiao Yi did not look for her again. A frown marred her forehead as many thoughts ran around her mind.

Seeing that Xia Yanran was silent, Shu Min asked with concern, “Yanran, are you okay?”

Xia Yanran bit her lip. “I’m fine.”

“I went back to the orphanage and saw a boy who had grown up with Yi Ran. I mentioned Yi Ran to him and he told me about Yi Ran’s relations.h.i.+p. The man Yi Ran loved had died in a car accident and Yi Ran was devastated. The last time the boy saw Yi Ran, she told him that she wanted to go to Tibet, where she could cleanse her soul… Oh that’s right, Yi Ran should have asked Xiaoxi to go with her…”

After ending the call, Xia Yanran sat on the sofa, thoughts whirling around her mind.

She still did not understand many things.

Since Yi Ran had a man she had loved, how could she have liked Xiao Yi? Did she get close to Xiao Yi because of the Old Madam’s fortune?

No, from how she looked at him, it was clear that Yi Ran liked Xiao Yi.

And Xiaoxi… The doctor said that she was unable to get pregnant because she took medication that affected her hormones. Could it be that someone did something to her birth control pills when she was staying in Hong Kong?

Did it have something to do with Xiaoxi?

She needed to find out and clear things up.

…

With her thoughts in a jumble, she found Nan Zhi and asked her to contact the prison. She wanted to see Yi Ran.

When she learned that Yi Ran was confined to a cell and did not want to see her, Xia Yanran could only give up getting information from Yi Ran.

Tibet, she needed to go to Tibet.

Aside from her relations.h.i.+p, Xia Yanran was a very a.s.sertive and decisive person in other matters. Within moments, she had booked the next flight to Tibet.
