Chapter 1180 - It’s Enough to Have Just One Child in This Life (2/2)

After taking three joss sticks, Xia Yanran knelt down in front of the statue of the Guanyin.

Closing her eyes, she silently prayed in her heart. In this life, let her get pregnant with a child, just one child was enough. After praying, she kowtowed three times, put the joss sticks into the censer and gave money as an offering.

Turning around, she prepared to leave.

But she saw Xiao Yi standing at the entrance as she turned around.

He was wearing a black windbreaker and casual pants. He had both hands in his pants pockets and seeing her turning around, he looked at her with a faint smile.

Xia Yanran pursed her lips and for a moment, looking as if she had done something embarra.s.sing and wanted to dig a hole and hide inside.

However…

A man like him was not embarra.s.sed appearing here, so why should she feel embarra.s.sed?

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yanran looked away as if she had not seen Xiao Yi. As she pa.s.sed by him, he smiled slightly, said nothing to her and strode into the temple.

Xia Yanran saw him taking three joss sticks and knelt at the place she had prayed at just now.

Her heart could not help beating wildly.

But the next second, the appearance of a figure made her heart sink quickly.

The woman who was with him had also come over. She walked up behind him and patted his shoulder. Their behavior looked familiar and intimate.

Xia Yanran did not want to look anymore. She turned and left quickly.

But the temple area was not large. Xia Yanran walked around and was about to rest at a pavilion with a good view, when she saw Xiao Yi and the woman again.

Now, the woman had taken off her jacket and was wearing a short sleeved t-s.h.i.+rt inside, paired with tight jeans. Her b.u.t.tocks were perky, her waist slender and her figure was very good.

The woman’s height looked to be more than 1.77 meters and was good-looking, her face more deep-set than typical Asians. Her facial features were exquisite and well-defined. She had short hair and looked a little handsome.

She looked energetic and was exchanging martial arts moves with Xiao Yi. Her legs were long and straight, and when she swept towards Xiao Yi, her action was cool and handsome.

It could be seen that they were comparing their moves, but they looked quite harmonious.

Xia Yanran had never seen such women around Xiao Yi before. Those before were always soft and delicate. The style this time was too different.

After fighting for a while, the woman proposed to stop first. “Okay, I’ll give in. You were indeed a mafia boss before, so full of strength.”

The woman wiped at the sweat on her forehead and seeing Xia Yanran in the pavilion, her eyes turned bright. “Xiao, isn’t she the beauty you saved just now? She keeps staring at us. Hmm, why do I find her a little familiar?”

Before Xiao Yi could say anything, the woman started to walk towards Xia Yanran. She stretched out her hand to Xia Yanran and smiled. “Hi, beauty. I’m Zhen Mi, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Zhen Mi?

So she really was the Marquis’s daughter. Although she was a little different from what Xia Yanran had imagined her to be.

Looking at Zhen Mi’s smile, Xia Yanran was unable to be hostile to her. Standing up, she was about to shake Zhen Mi’s hand when a long hand reached over, pulling Zhen Mi’s arm.

Like that, Xiao Yi had pulled Zhen Mi away.

They stood a distance away and Xia Yanran did not know what they were talking about. She only saw that Xiao Yi was seemingly unhappy, his expression dark, though Zhen Mi was smiling brightly.

The empty feeling in Xia Yanran’s heart seemed stronger than ever. She sighed. It must be the lack of oxygen that was making her feel so uncomfortable!

After circling around again, Xia Yanran found another place to rest and sat there until the evening. Fortunately, she did not meet Xiao Yi and Zhen Mi again.

Thinking that Jue Chen should be back at this time, Xia Yanran got up and walked towards the temple.

After asking, she learned that Jue Chen had returned and was meditating and chanting scriptures in her room. Xia Yanran asked the nun who was cleaning during the day to take her over.
