  Xia Yanran was wearing high heels, but her steps were quick and her steps were fierce and cold with slender heels clicking on the ground.

  The hotel manager jogged to catch up with Xia Yanran. “Lady Boss, this room is really out of bounds today. Shall I change to another room for you?”


  Normally the manager would not be so soft-spoken, even to the most distinguished guests.

  But his forehead was full of cold sweat, his legs were shaking badly looking at the expressionless Xia Yanran!

  Xia Yanran looked at the manager standing in front of her, and she held her chin with her fingers, a faint smile on her beautiful face. “The air-conditioning is broken?”


  The hotel manager nodded. “Yes, yes.”


  “Why don’t you find a better reason? Only the air-conditioning in Room 1 is broken and Room 5 is working properly when the air-conditioning is central, who are you trying to lie to!” Xia Yanran looked at the tightly closed door of Room 1 and she felt that there was something wrong. “Did you book the room out to other guests privately?”


  The manager waved his hands and nodded.

  Although Xia Yanran was careless usually, she was still a woman and had a woman’s delicate and sharp mind.

  Call it a woman’s intuition, but there was definitely something wrong with the manager behaving like this.

  Nan Zhi walked over and saw that Xia Yanran’s expression was looking strange and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”


  Xia Yanran pursed her moist red lips and said to the manager, “In that case, take my friend to Room 5 first.”


  The manager was relieved. “Okay.”


  After the manager left with Nan Zhi and the rest, Xia Yanran went to the door of Room 1.

  She turned the door knob and it was locked.

  It was strange, too strange.

  Xia Yanran lowered her eyes and took out the spare key from her bag.

  She opened the door to the room without any hesitation.

  The big round table was filled with delicious food.But there was no one sitting on the chair.

  Xia Yanran closed the door and walked into the room.

  There was also a lounge in the room and she gave out no sounds walking on the handmade Persian carpet.

  She pushed open the door of the lounge a crack.

  Tsk, tsk. What did she see?

  Xiao Yi carried a girl with only a bath towel wrapped around her from the bathroom.

  The girl’s bare arm, shoulders and neck were all covered in bruises.

  Xia Yanran could tell at one glance how those bruises came about.

  At first, during her first time, after being abused by Xiao Yi, there were traces like that on her skin.

  Xia Yanran saw Xiao Yi putting the girl on the bed, his large hand touching the girl’s head and his voice asked with concern, “Does it still hurt?”


  The girl sobbed and said, “Can I hold you?”


  Xiao Yi reached out and held the delicate girl in his arms.

  The girl leaned against his shoulder and Xia Yanran saw the girl clearly.

  There were only countless curses in her heart!

  This girl, who looked to be about 17 or 18 years old, had a small face, delicate facial features, her nose tall, her lips were slightly pale and there was a pitiful look in her pair of black eyes.

  Most importantly was that on that fair little face, there was still a trace of childishness.

  Xia Yanran looked at how close the two of them were and she bit her lip hard, a buzz in her mind for a few seconds.

  She did not take another look and closed the door of the lounge, turning and leaving the room.

  For the past year, Xiao Yi was rough in bed but he was really good to her.

  At first, she loathed to even look at him and hated him. She just wanted him to get tired of her and let her go.

  But he could always come up with some tricks to make her submit.

  Later, after getting along for a long time, she realized that his heart was not as bad as how he was on the surface.

  Although sometimes what he said could anger her, afterwards, he would find ways to make her happy.

  She knew that with his big boss status, there was no shortage of women around him.

  With a curl of his finger, countless women would throw themselves to him.

  Nor did she ever think that she would be with him forever, or that they would have a good ending.

  She was always ready for him to leave any moment.

  However……

  When she really saw him with a younger, more beautiful girl, kissing and being so intimate, there was still a sharp pain in her heart!

  She thought she did not care.

  Xia Yanran closed her eyes, the stinging heat of hot tears threatening to come out. Clenching her hands into fists, she took a deep breath and left the room.

  She went to the washroom in the hotel lobby and used the cold water to wash her face.

  Several service staff in uniform bowed respectfully to her when they saw her. “Lady Boss.”


  When the hotel opened, Xiao Yi had pulled her to the front of all the staff, his arm around her shoulders and announced to the hundreds of employees below, “She’ll be your Lady Boss in the future. When you see her, you must bow and greet her without fail!”


  After the service staff left, Xia Yanran had her hands on the sink, looking at herself in the mirror.

  Although she was still young and beautiful, compared to a girl of seventeen or eighteen, what she lacked was the youthfulness she could never get back.

  It was nothing to be sad about.

  It was not unusual for a person like Xiao Yi to be polygynous.

  She had known it for a long time that he liked to rob the cradle, especially those girls who had just come of age. Wasn’t she like that in the beginning?

  He had a new lover and should be setting her free soon.

  She should be happy and smile.

  Xia Yanran lifted the corners of her lips. She walked to Room 5 and took Nan Zhi and the rest to a seafood restaurant.

  She ordered a big table of seafood and the most expensive wine in the restaurant.

  “Auntie, Auntie He, Jie Baby, tonight let’s eat to our hearts’ content!’


  Nan Zhi looked at Xia Yanran, who was smiling so brightly, and she pulled at her sleeve, asking her in a whisper, “Yanran, did something happen?”


  Xia Yanran poured wine for Nan Zhi and said with a smile, “Nothing serious, but it’s a happy event.”


  Nan Zhi looked at Xia Yanran in doubt.

  If it was something happy, why did she see tears behind Xia Yanran’s smile?

  “What’s wrong?”


  Xia Yanran finished a glass of wine and leaned over to Nan Zhi’s ear, saying with a smile, “Let me tell you, I’m about to regain my freedom. Don’t you think I’m super happy and thrilled?”


  Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows slightly. She looked at Xia Yanran who was forcing a smile and she held her hand. “Did you see Xiao Yi behaving intimately with another woman in Room 1?”


  Xia Yanran’s hand clenched into a fist and she knocked it lightly on Nan Zhi’s shoulder, her thick and long eyelashes fluttering lightly. “Come on, can you not be so smart for once? Yes, it’s a beautiful girl who’s several years younger than me.”
