Xia Yanran looked at the man in front of her with a dazed expression. His tall body seemed to be covered in light like an exquisite sculptured statue, arrogant and flawless.

  He lifted the corner of his lips into a wild and cold smile.

  “Chief Editor Xia, Chief Editor Xia?” The previous boss saw that Xia Yanran was in a daze and called her several times.

  Xia Yanran blinked and regained her senses. She sorted out her feelings and reached out a hand to Xiao Yi, showing her professional smile. “Hello, CEO Xiao.”


  Xiao Yi looked at Xia Yanran and hummed coldly in reply before his gaze moved away from Xia Yanran.

  He took a few steps into the office and his gaze landed on the new staff who had recently joined the company. “Come to my office.”


  The new staff’s surname was also Xia, and was called Xia Mo. She was a fair and beautiful young woman.

  Seeing the other staff looking at her, Xia Mo’s face flushed red. She lowered her head and followed behind Xiao Yi, looking slightly embarrassed.

  Xiao Yi raised his chin at her and then they went into the big boss’s office.

  After they left, Xia Yanran turned around slowly. Looking at the closed office door, she pursed her lips.

  So, it was all her wishful thinking.

  Xiao Yi did not buy the big boss’s shares for her, but for Xia Mo!

  Xia Yanran laughed mockingly at herself, thinking that it was better this way. They could let go of the past and start a new life.

  When they had just separated, she felt that the sky was grey and could not put her heart in anything she did.

  But after some time, she had gotten used to it. Now, she was used to the days of him not being by her side.

  Xia Mo was an innocent and nice girl. Xia Yanran heard that her family was rich, but she was not spoiled. She did not rely on her family and found a job herself.

  Xiao Yi must have doted on her to have spent so much money to buy the shares from the previous boss!……

  “Uncle Xiao, I heard that you bought over the big boss’s shares for a female colleague in our company. Could it be for me?” Xia Mo blinked her big eyes and looked at Xiao Yi with a smile.

  Xiao Yi looked at her smile and big eyes, and said with a smile. “What do you think?”


  Xia Mo pouted. “Of course not. It must have been for some other female colleague, right?” Xia Mo’s fingers were on her delicate chin and she laughed. “But I still can’t guess who it is for now.”

  Xiao Yi took out a credit card from his wallet. “Your Fourth Uncle asked me to give this to you.”


  Xia Mo stamped her foot, her beautiful face turning red. “I don’t want it. I’m already an adult and can earn money myself.”


  Xia Mo’s fourth uncle was from the Huo family, one of the four biggest families in Hong Kong. Xia Mo was the child bride adopted by the Huo family and had to marry the nephew of the Fourth Master of the Huo family when she turned 22 years old.

  Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows. “You really don’t want it?”


  “I want to stand on my own two feet.” Not wanting to talk about the cold Fourth Uncle, Xia Mo’s big eyes turned. “Uncle Xiao, who do you like in our company? If you tell me, I can help you!”


  Xiao Yi stuffed the credit card into Xia Mo’s hands and sat on the boss’s chair, his long fingers tapping the table. “No one.”


  Xia Mo did not believe him and her eyes turned around cunningly. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll tell the colleagues later that Boss Xiao will be treating them to dinner and karaoke after work.”


  Xiao Yi smirked and said nothing.

  Xia Mo pulled open the door and ran out cheerfully. Before the door closed, Xiao Yi could hear her crisp voice shouting, “Everyone, CEO Xiao said that he will treat us to a meal after work!”


  The colleagues were originally uneasy after seeing the powerful aura around the new boss. Although he looked handsome and charming, there was a murderous glint in his eyes and one would shiver when being looked at by him.

  But now it seemed like he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

  Xia Mo went to Xia Yanran’s desk and leaned on the table, smiling brightly. “Chief Editor, you can’t be absent tonight.”


  Xia Yanran looked at the pretty and energetic Xia Mo, and seemed to have seen her past self. She was so pure and unrestrained.

  Shaking her head with a smile, Xia Yanran replied. “I can’t go tonight, I have some personal things to do.”


  Xia Mo looked disappointed. “Ah, if you don’t go it’s not fun at all!”


  “Have a good time in my stead!”
……

  After work, Xia Yanran, Sister Mei and Bai Tongtong went into the elevator.

  Bai Tongtong pouted and said, “Xia Mo looks innocent, but she must be acting chaste. CEO Xiao only came to the company for around one hour and you see how many times she went into his office. Every time she came out smiling, as if she was afraid that people didn’t know CEO Xiao came for her.”


  Bai Tongtong had just finished speaking when her elbow was poked by Sister Mei. Bai Tongtong looked out of the elevator and saw Xiao Yi and Xia Mo walking over.

  Xia Yanran took a big step back.

  After Xiao Yi and Xia Mo stepped in, several other colleagues also came in, and the elevator was packed with people.

  Because of Xiao Yi’s presence, the colleagues dared not speak.

  Xia Yanran and Sister Mei stood at the back. When the elevator was going down, Sister Mei reminded Xia Yanran softly. “Later at Four Seasons Restaurant, he will be the one with glasses and wearing a blue suit sitting at the table with a rose.”


  Xia Yanran nodded.

  Bai Tongtong stood in front of Xia Yanran and happened to hear their conversation. She turned around and looked at Xia Yanran. “Chief Editor Xia, you’re going for matchmaking later?”


  Bai Tongtong’s voice was not too loud or soft, so everyone in the elevator heard her.

  Xia Yanran furrowed her eyebrows. She did not like Bai Tongtong’s gossipy and ostentatious nature, but she still hummed softly out of courtesy.

  “Chief Editor Xia is not that young anymore, and it’s time to find a man to marry.”


  Xia Yanran glanced at Bai Tongtong and from the corner of her eye, saw the man standing in front of Bai Tongtong. He had his head lowered slightly and was listening to Xia Mo, the side of his face handsome and gentle.

  Xia Yanran had a complicated feeling in her heart and felt terrible. She was doing well in Ning City, why did Xiao Yi come here? Why did he have to come to the company she was at? Couldn’t he use another way if he wanted to dote on Xia Mo?……

  The elevator reached the basement level.

  Xia Yanran was not going for dinner with her colleagues and after letting them know, she quickly walked to her car.

  Xiao Yi stepped out of the elevator with his hands in his pants pockets, his slender eyes looking at Xia Yanran’s back dangerously.

  Bai Tongtong walked up to Xiao Yi and looking at his tall body and cold handsome face, she said softly, her face red, “CEO Xiao, my car broke down. Can I take your car later?”


  Xiao Yi glanced at Bai Tongtong. “I only drive Xia Mo.”


  At his blunt words, Bai Tongtong left looking aggrieved and embarrassed.

  Xia Mo ran to Xiao Yi and thinking of how Bai Tongtong had glared at her just now, she said thoughtfully, “Seeing Bai Tongtong’s reaction, the person Uncle Xiao likes shouldn’t be her. The female colleagues left in the office are Sister Mei and Chief Editor Xia. But Sister Mei has a family already,” Xia Mo speculated observantly and her eyes lit up.

  “Ah, I know! The person Uncle Xiao likes must be Chief Editor Xia.”
