Chapter 1104 - I’m Here to Make Up with You

Xia Yanran looked at Xiao Yi’s cold and strong attitude and she felt a lump in her throat.

An unspeakable grievance spread out from her heart.

She came all the way and was on tenterhooks the entire time. Now that she had finally seen him, she thought he would be happy, but did not expect it would turn out like this.

Of course, she could not blame him. They had already broken up and they could not make up so easily just because she wanted to.

Xia Yanran did not want to anger him. After her brother got injured, her heart ached for her brother, but it did not mean her heart did not ache for him.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yanran calmed herself down. “Okay, don’t pull such a long face. I’ll leave tomorrow.”

Her long eyelashes fluttered and there were tears brimming in her clear eyes, reflecting his cold face clearly.

Seeing her like that, his temper disappeared.

“Have you eaten dinner?”

Xia Yanran heard that his indifferent voice had turned deeper and she shook her head. “My stomach doesn’t feel so good so I don’t feel like eating.”

“I’ll go to the kitchen and cook some porridge.”

He was about to leave when his long fingers were grabbed by a small hand suddenly. She first held one finger, then two, three... until she held all five fingers.

Her hand was slightly cold and her body moved in front of him, raising her head to look at him with clear eyes. “Xiao Yi, I think I’m sick.”

The man immediately pulled back his hand and touched her forehead. “Your temperature’s normal.”

Xia Yanran stared at his cold eyes and she understood that if a broken mirror was pieced back together, there would still be cracks. Besides, they had broken up a few times and got back together a few times.

“I’m here to make up with you.”

After saying the words ‘make up’, Xia Yanran wanted to avoid his gaze, but then at the same time she also did not want to avoid it. She wanted to see his expression clearly and know what he was thinking.

Xiao Yi’s Adam’s apple bobbed, “Xia Yanran, you came all the way without caring about your safety just to make peace with me? What if I don’t want to?”

He clasped her slender wrist and threw her to the wall.

His handsome jaw was clenched tightly. He, like Tang Chao, had become more tanned, but he looked more masculine. His dark eyes were deep and he pinched Xia Yanran’s chin. “I’m sweaty now and don’t have much money. I can’t go back from here immediately and have nothing. Are you sure you want to make up with me?”

Xia Yanran stared at his eyes, her expression firm and she enunciated every word. “I can earn money if you don’t have any. Can’t a woman support a man?”

“Ha.”

Xiao Yi gave a low barking laugh and said nothing.

“Hey, don’t squeeze, don’t squeeze...”

“F*ck, don’t be so agitated...”

Hearing voices outside, Xia Yanran’s mind cleared up. She looked at the man who was holding her and they both understood immediately. Xia Yanran got down from Xiao Yi’s body and Xiao Yi went to the door, pulling it open without warning.

The men at the door fell to the ground like a human pyramid.

Tang Chao’s angry voice sounded. “F*ck, what have you all eaten? You’re going to crush me to death!”

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows. “You’re the one leading this. Crush this brat.”

The other foremen slowly got up and looked at Xia Yanran who was behind Xiao Yi.

But Xiao Yi’s tall body blocked her behind him.

“Brother Xiao, you’re usually like a monk, not interested in women. We thought you were with Tang Chao. Since your girlfriend is here, let us take a look!”

Tang Chao got up from the ground and rubbed his nose grumpily. “F*ck, do I look like I’m gay?”

Xiao Yi spat out two words coldly, “Get out.”

After the room became quiet again, Xiao Yi turned around and looked at the woman who was laughing like a little fox. “Ignore them. I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow morning. It’s not safe here.”

Xia Yanran’s lips were still tingling with his breath, but his words made her heart tighten. She had never thought he would ask her to leave immediately.

“I’m sweaty. I’ll go take a bath and ask the kitchen to cook something for you. Take a rest on the bed.” With that, he turned and left the room.

Xia Yanran looked at his retreating figure and felt that he was somewhat different.

...

Xiao Yi went downstairs and took a bath. When he came out, he felt slightly unwell and coughed several times.

“Brother Xiao, your phone rang.”

Xiao Yi took his phone from Tang Chao and went to a quiet place to answer it.

“Mr Xiao? I’m the doctor on duty in Peace City’s hospital. You didn’t collect the results from your last visit. From the CT scan, it shows that you have a large shadow in your lungs. If you have time, you need to come to the hospital for further examination.”

Xiao Yi’s hand that was holding the phone tightened. For a moment, everything around him seemed to be stationary and his gaze flickering, making him not know where he was.

“You should pay attention not to overwork, your blood sugar is still a little low, so don’t consume too much energy...”

Xiao Yi hung up the call directly.

Before leaving the triad in Hong Kong, he felt unwell and the doctor told him to quit smoking but he did not take it seriously.

After leaving the triad, his head was seriously injured and he stayed in the intensive care unit for nearly half a month before regaining consciousness. After that, it wasn’t long before he was discharged from the hospital.

His body was not as good as before and he knew it in his heart.

Raising his head, Xiao Yi looked at the room at the far east side on the third floor, his jaw clenched tightly. His heart was heavy and made him breathless.

He did not expect that Xia Yanran would come all the way to find him.

If he could live a few more years, he planned to earn more money and give it all to her, making her able to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
