Chapter 1187 - He Had Always Loved Her (1/2)
Xia Yanran was speechless.
So, what he meant was for her to get the room card from his pocket?
Xia Yanran looked at his cold and indifferent face and bit her lip. Reaching out her hand gingerly, she put it into Xiao Yi’s pants pocket.
Xia Yanran’s fingertips grazed his strong and firm thigh through the fabric and she felt like she was electrocuted.
But it seemed like there was nothing…
She drew back her hand in a panic and looked at the man whose eyes were dark. “It’s not in your pants pocket.”
“Isn’t there another pocket?”
Xia Yanran was speechless.
He was doing it on purpose. It was clearly not in that pocket and he did not tell her, making her fumble around!
She could only fumble in the other pocket. This time she was going to be quick. She reached right inside his pants pocket and found the room card.
Xia Yanran was in a hurry to take it out and did not expect her little finger to touch his…
Drawing back her burning fingertips, Xia Yanran’s hurriedly swiped the room card embarra.s.singly, not daring to look at the man.
When they went into the room, he put her down in the bathroom and brought her a bathrobe. Xia Yanran closed the bathroom door with her face red and heart racing.
Xiao Yi walked to the window. He looked at his reflection on the french windows and then looked downwards.
Useless!
Hearing the sound of water running in the bathroom, Xiao Yi went to the bedside table, picked up the telephone and made a call.
…
Twenty minutes later, Xia Yanran came out from the bathroom.
She was wearing a white nightrobe, her long hair spread over her shoulders. She had no makeup on her face and her skin was slightly flushed pink from the steam in the bathroom.
Xiao Yi sat on the sofa smoking, the smoke curling up, blurring his handsome face. Looking from afar, his emotions were hard to read.
It was only after she stared at Xiao Yi for a few seconds that she collected herself and started to limp to his side. She wanted to ask him why he had started smoking again, but she swallowed the words that were on her lips back when she saw his cold face.
Even though he had eased his att.i.tude towards her, she still had not much courage.
A broken vase would still have cracks even if it was fixed to what it was before.
It was the same for Xiao Yi and her.
Every time they broke up and reconciled again, they would leave a crack in each other’s hearts. It would need time and companions.h.i.+p to heal that crack.
After taking two puffs of the cigarette, he stubbed it out. He got up from the sofa and went to Xia Yanran. Without a word, he grabbed Xia Yanran’s slender ankle.
His calloused fingers pressed lightly on her ankle.
Xia Yanran sucked in a breath and almost hissed from the pain.
Xiao Yi carefully inspected the area she was injured. It was not very serious but it was still slightly sprained. He applied medicine for her and ma.s.saged her ankle gently.
