Chapter 539 Hua Xiaoran

The number shows that someone calls her on the internet.

Xia Ning hesitates for a moment and then presses the answer button

This time, she does not speak first.

In the last two times, the other side didn’t utter any words. The person might probably do it for a particular purpose. The possibility of playing pranks cannot be ruled out.

As a journalist, offending people is all in the day’s work. In most cases, she has no idea who she has offended and how the person will sort her out.

After a long time, the person on the other end of the line still does not speak. Xia Ning gets annoyed, preparing to hang up the phone.

“Hello…”

Just at that moment, a weak voice comes from the other end of the line.

It is a soft woman’s voice.

A woman…

“Hello, are you the one who called me twice before?” Xia Ning asks directly.

“I…” The person at the other end of the line mumbles and then continues, “Yeah, right. I’m sorry that I shouldn’t have called you. But there’s one thing that I need your help…”

“Do you know who I am?”

“Miss… Miss Xia, right?”

Seeing that the woman knows her, Xia Ning raises her eyebrows, replying, “Yep. Your surname, please?”

“I…” The voice trembles with fear, “I’m Xiaoran. Miss Xia, I’m sorry but I don’t mean any harm. I’m timid. Can you forgive me?”

Xia Ning’s heart is softened by the woman’s pitiful voice, “Just get to the point. What is it?”

“Miss Xia, could you promise me not to hang up?”

“…” The woman appears secretive. Xia Ning keeps her shirt on, replying, “OK, I won’t. But Xiaoran, can you briefly explain the matter now?”

“Um.” The woman at the other end of the line pauses and then responds, “Miss Xia, I wanna inquire about someone. Though he has been warning me not to see you, I really feel sorry to see him like that. Despite that, I finally decided to make this call. I only want you to hear me out and then decide what to do.”

Xia Ning is listening quietly and patiently.

“I’ve known him for a year. He’s good, amiable, and outgoing. But he has a secret and he never tells me about it. No matter how many times I asked him, he never told me. Finally, he couldn’t stand me anymore and told me your name…”

Xia Ning slightly knits her brows. Who is the person Xiaoran is talking about?

“I asked him why he did not visit you by himself as he had been thinking about you. But every time I brought it up, he would become emotional. He said you would never forgive him for what he had done…”

“Who’s he?”

With some hesitation, the woman on the other end answers, “Ou Yixuan.”

“!” For an instant, Xia Ning wants to hang up the phone!

She doesn’t want to know anything about Ou Yixuan!

Now everything is fine with her. She will not allow the man called Ou Yixuan to appear in her life again.

“Miss Xia, are you still there? Don’t hang up the phone, please!” It seems that she knows what is in Xia Ning’s mind. She exclaims hastily, “Miss Xia, I don’t know what happened between you two before, but Mr. Ou cares a lot about you! The past still weighs on his mind, but he has been reforming himself. He is really a good man and even calls out your name in the dream… Miss Xia, what he values most is your feelings towards him. Can you forgive him?”

Forgive?

Xia Ning sneers.

Now he and she are complete strangers. Forgiving is out of the question.

And it can even be said that they are no better than strangers! He has no right to ask her to forgive him.

Xia Ning takes a deep breath, keeping her shirt on, “Xiaoran, are you done?”

Hearing that, Hua Xiaoran instantly replies, “Miss Xia, are you still mad at Mr. Ou? It has been such a long time. Can’t you just let it slide? As long as you tell me you can forgive him, he’ll get over it. Mr. Ou has turned over a new leaf. Just give him a chance, will you?”

“I am not the one to give him an opportunity, but he is. Whether he can let go of the past is none of my business. Now we are total strangers. So please don’t call me again, Xiaoran. As for what happened today, I’ll let it slide. OK, now I’ve got something else to do. Bye…”

“Miss Xia!” Sensing Xia Ning is about to hang up, Xiaoran roars anxiously, “Don’t hang up, OK? Mr. Ou has been trying very hard to reform himself and ask for your forgiveness. Just one sentence, one! Just tell me and I’ll pass it on to him. And then he can rid himself of it. Miss Xia, don’t be this heartless, OK?”

“Fine. Listen up. All I can say is that we’ve squared up because now we are even!” With that, Xia Ning drops her phone.

If it hadn’t been for this call, she would have forgotten who Ou Yixuan was.

She doesn’t want the man to appear in her life ever again!

She doesn’t want to know anything about him!

Leng Weiwei sits in the most inconspicuous corner of the coffee shop, with a cup of warm coffee in front of her and a newspaper in her hands.

She has been in journalism for over ten years and reading newspapers has become her daily routine. She will feel uneasy if she does not read newspapers for even one day.

Though her acts make her look a little out of place in this coffee shop.

The coffee shop is not a top-end one as it is for ordinary people. However, it feels like home for her.

During the ten years of working in journalism, she has always been accessing top-end places that make her feel stressed.

She is a workaholic. She used to think that the world would crumble if she stopped working. Now things don’t look that bad.

Lei Weiwei picks up the coffee, takes a sip of it, and slowly puts down the newspaper…

But moments after that, she picks it up again, leans to one side, and pointedly hides herself.

In the distance, she catches sight of a figure whom she immediately recognizes. It is Yi Yuntian!

God, when did this man arrive at the coffee shop? How come she had no idea about it?

Wait, did the man follow her here?

Leng Weiwei is afraid of being found by Yi Yuntian as she told him that she needed to go to work today.

A laptop is set on the coffee table in front of Yi Yuntian with a cup of coffee next to it. President Yi seems to be working.

Leng Weiwei sits hesitating, wondering if she should go over to admit her mistake personally.

Yi Yuntian is as cunning as a fox. If she does not take the initiative to confess her mistake, Yi Yuntian will give her a big surprise.

Leng Weiwei is in a dilemma.

Or is Yi Yuntian really following her anyway? Ordinarily, President Yi will never come to such a shabby place to have coffee…

Just then, the door of the coffee shop is pushed open, and a woman who is smartly dressed enters. She is slim and plump with proper makeup on her face. She is really hot.

And then the beauty walks straight to Yi Yuntian’s table and takes her seat.

Though Yi Yuntian sits with his back to Leng Weiwei, she can see the woman’s countenance clearly.

The moment the woman looks at Yi Yuntian, her eyes light up as if she wants to swallow Yi Yuntian alive.

Inadvertently, Leng Weiwei notices the car parked outside the window. It is a limited-edition rare sports car, which the woman just drove over!

Parvenu, a female parvenu!

As soon as the female parvenu sits down, she puts her clean and white hands on Yi Yuntian, looking at Yi Yuntian and eager to swallow him alive.

Leng Weiwei’s eyes grow cold and a sense of jealousy wells up inside her.

She is really disgusted at that!

Yi Yuntian comes here to go on a date with such a woman?

If so, she really thinks too highly of Yi Yuntian!

What poor taste!

Even if he wants to get a mistress, he should get a prettier one!

Jealousy fills her heart as she grasps the newspaper.

Didn’t Yi Yuntian say that he had something to do today? Why does he come here to hang out with a woman?

… Men can never be trusted!

That is right! A smooth-tongued man can never be trusted!

She is no longer a kid and does not believe a woman can win a man’s heart by having sex with him, not to mention Yi Yuntian, such a sophisticated womanizer! She has no chance of winning!

But she is afraid of the bitterness in her heart.

She doesn’t know whether Yi Yuntian has feelings for this woman. She only knows that this woman is very bold.

If it could draw Yi Yuntian’s attention, any woman would follow the example.

Yi Yuntian shakes his hand slightly, pushing away the parvenu’s hands.

Seeing that, Leng Weiwei gets less jealous, snorting contemptuously.

She is being quite active, but Yi Yuntian still turns her down. What a b*tch!

As if she knows Yi Yuntian will refuse her, the woman retreats her hands and smiles sheepishly. And then she sweeps her hair back, exposing her white neck.

Yi Yuntian picks up his coffee mug and takes a sip of the coffee without saying anything. His eyes are fixed on the laptop in front of him.

Seeing that her first trick doesn’t work, the woman presses her lips and ponders. And then she stands up and kneels down in front of Yi Yuntian…

Leng Weiwei watches it with her mouth open, astonished!

In such broad daylight, on such a public occasion, beneath the gaze of so many eyes… The woman should do that!

That is outrageous!

Leng Weiwei feels an urge to splash her coffee over the b*tch!

She stifles her temptation to take hold of the woman and beat her, telling herself that she has to calm down now. It is inappropriate to fight here!

She wants to know why Yi Yuntian lied to her. She wants to know if it is because of this woman!
