Chapter 1191 - So Sour (1/2)

When they left the hospital, Xia Yanran’s eyes were red and swollen.

Xiao Xi was too much. What wrong did Tang Chao do for him to be hypnotized and be used?

As Xiao Yi drove, he spared a hand to grab Xia Yanran’s hand. “She’s already receiving her punishment in jail.”

Xia Yanran blinked her wet lashes, grabbing Xiao Yi’s hand in return. “Do you really not have any feelings for her after you found out that she’s Xiao Xi?”

“Ever since she colluded with Second Master Qin and almost got me killed and since I found out about what she did to Tang Chao and you, I lost any possible feelings I might have for her.”

Xia Yanran hummed softly.

Xia Yanran didn’t know if it was because she had taken the medicine pill during the day, but she felt rather sleepy now. With the steady hum of the car in the background, she leaned back on the chair and fell asleep briefly.

Xiao Yi drove for a while before he realized that the girl wasn’t speaking anymore. He turned to look at her.

Her head was bobbing left and right, and he quickly spared a hand to support her head. When his fingers touched her smooth skin, he couldn’t help but caress her softly. Her eyes were shut tightly, an undeniable exhaustion written all over her face.

He slowed down before he parked the car by the side of the road.

Leaning over, he lowered her seat, before he took off his jacket and covered her softly. It was only after he stared at her for a while before he finally looked away.

There was a little girl selling flowers on the street. She kept recommending the flowers she had in her basket to the people who pa.s.sed by, but rarely did anyone buy flowers from her.

Xiao Yi got out of the car.

The little girl stared at Xiao Yi, walking over with her basket. “Uncle, do you want to buy flowers?”

Xiao Yi took out a hundred dollar note from her wallet. “Give me one.”

“One hundred dollars can buy all of the flowers I have!”

Xiao Yi stared at the little girl. “I just want one.”

“Then, I’ll give you change.”

Xiao Yi took the flower and shook his head. “There’s no need to.”

Xiao Yi got back into his car, tearing away the thorns on the flower stalk until it wasn’t sharp and p.r.i.c.kly anymore.

Xiao Yi placed the flower in Xia Yanran’s hand, before he took out another small box from the storage compartment, placing it at a place she could see the moment she opened her eyes.

…

Xiao Yi had bought a new mansion at the Capital. He went to the Old Madam’s mansion often as well. However, since Ku Li died in an explosion there, he didn’t want to bring Xia Yanran there.

When they arrived at the mansion, it was nearly eleven at night.

Xia Yanran felt the car stopping and slowly opened her eyes. Because she had just woken up, sleepiness was still present in her eyes.

Xiao Yi stood outside of the car, smoking and didn’t realize that Xia Yanran was awake.

Xia Yanran slowly stood up, suddenly finding that something was wrong. When did a rose appear in her hands?

She blinked, thinking that she was hallucinating. However, very quickly, she saw the small box placed in front of her.

Xia Yanran’s heart thumped crazily.

She took the box and opened it. Indeed, it contained the ring she sent back to Xiao Yi.

After Xiao Yi finished smoking, he looked inside the car. When he noted that Xia Yanran was awake and was giggling foolishly as she stared at that ring, he reached out and opened the car door.

“Do you accept it?”

Hearing the man’s low and s.e.xy voice, Xia Yanran looked up with fluttering lashes.

His eyes were extremely warm and focused.

She couldn’t really stand this type of gaze from him, so she looked away slightly. “Don’t look at me like this.” Her ears felt slightly heated.

Xiao Yi pulled Xia Yanran off the car.

Xia Yanran had just balanced herself when he pressed her against the car.
