Chapter 1063: The End

Xiao Yi stopped in front of Xia Yanran.

He stared at her with furrowed eyebrows. “Why did you stop working and sell your shares?”

Xia Yanran stared at his handsome face before she suddenly lifted her hand and caressed his face. She traced his exquisite features slowly. His facial features were exquisite and well-defined, like they had been drawn by a master carefully.

She was once so smitten by this face.

She traced his facial features, her eyes on him looking like she knew him, but never knew him at the same time.

In her heart, she knew that if he knew about, he would never have allowed his men to hit her brother to that extent. However, even if he didn’t know about it, what could he do now?

At the end of the day, their love had caused a permanent scar to her brother’s life.

Xiao Yi grabbed Xia Yanran’s hand. However, he had just touched her when she waved his hand away.

It felt like his touch would make her contract some plague and wanted to avoid it completely.

Xia Yanran looked down, a small smile appearing on her lips. “I sold my shares and quit my job.” She took out a credit card from her bag. “This is the money from selling the shares. You gave me that newspaper agency in the past. I don’t want it now, so I should return the money to you as well.”

Xiao Yi tried to look at Xia Yanran’s expression, but she was looking down, so he couldn’t see her properly. All he could feel that she wanted to cut all ties with him.

Her attitude was filled with a determination that was never present before.

Xiao Yi’s heart panged, his strong arms grabbing Xia Yanran’s shoulders as he pressed her against the wall. He looked down at her. “It’s alright if you sold it and don’t want to work anymore. I’ll take care of you from now on.”

Xia Yanran’s lashes fluttered.

Seeing that she wasn’t speaking with her lips pursed tightly and seriously, Xiao Yi felt a hint of panic in his heart. He lifted her chin and kissed her.

He looked for her lips, his actions filled with panic.

Xia Yanran turned away.

He froze, looking at her with dark eyes before he reached out to grab her face. He forced her chin up as he continued kissing her.

Xia Yanran’s eyes were completely cold as she reached out to push him away with all of her strength. She lifted her hand, and slapped him ruthlessly.

A loud slap echoed, and the man who wanted to pull her into his arms froze.

Xia Yanran looked up into the man’s eyes for a few seconds.

Her voice was weak, yet steady. “Xiao Yi, let’s end this here! I don’t need a month, I can give you your answer now. We cannot be together anymore, never in this life!”

His face ached slightly, but he didn’t care. His tongue poked his cheek as he remained quiet, before he pushed her against the wall once more, grabbing her chin to kiss her with all he had.

She didn’t struggle.

When he pushed her mouth open, a sharp item was suddenly pressed against his chest.

He paused, moving away from her lips as he stared at her with dark eyes. After a few seconds, he slowly looked down to see a sharp knife pressed against his chest.

The sharp point of the knife was pointing at him.

As long as she put a little more strength in it, she could take his life.

There was no change in Xiao Yi’s well-defined face. Apart from his eyes turning darker, there was no fear in them. The only thing inside his eyes were confusion and a deep sadness.

However, very quickly, he saw Xia Yanran turn the sharp blade around, aiming it at her neck.

“Xiao Yi, promise me that you won’t come and look for me again. If not, I’ll die in front of you now.”

Xiao Yi’s expression was dark. “Reason.”

“I don’t want to be with you anymore. I don’t want to contact you again. I want to stay away and never see you again. This is the reason.”

Xiao Yi stared at her, not missing any emotion on her face. Her eyes were filled with determination.

His heart sank.

She really wanted to cut it clean with him.

Xiao Yi remained quiet for a while before he smiled with slight ridicule. “Yanran, do you have to?”

Xia Yanran smirked, the blade sinking into her flesh. Blood started to flow from her neck. “Do you promise me?”

Seeing the blood on the blade, Xiao Yi’s jaw tensed, his dark eyes constricting crazily as the atmosphere turned colder and stiffer.

“Are you serious?”

Xia Yanran stared at her as she tightened her hold on the knife. “Do you think I’m joking? Xiao Yi, it’s been ten years, let’s end it here!”

Xiao Yi pursed his lips into a tight line.

Quietness spread amongst them.

His body moved as he suddenly grabbed her wrist. With a bit of strength, he managed to take the knife from her.

“Xia Yanran, with my age, I don’t want to force women to do anything anymore. If you want to end it, you don’t have to use such a method.”

His Adam’s apple bobbed, his breathing turning heavier and messier. “It’s just a pity, I haven’t been able to make you happy yet.”

Xia Yanran looked down, taking a deep breath to suppress her emotions. “It’s not important anymore.”

Xiao Yi nodded. “I never thought that our relationship would end like this. I don’t want to force you anymore. You’ve made your decision and I will respect it.”

Hearing his words, Xia Yanran really felt like crying. She didn’t say anything as she opened the security door and walked into the elevator.

Frantic steps followed her in.

When the elevator door closed, Xiao Yi caught up to her. He pressed her against the elevator walls and kissed her with all he had. His scorching hot and panicked breath sprayed on her.

Xia Yanran leaned against the wall, not moving and not struggling.

He didn’t kiss her too deeply, moving away from her lips very quickly. He stared into her eyes. “I won’t appear in front of you anymore. Even if we meet coincidentally, please treat me as a stranger.”

Xia Yanran slowly looked up at him. “I will.”

He didn’t say anything anymore, staring at her deeply before he turned around and walked out of the elevator.

The doors closed and Xia Yanran slowly slid down to the ground. She hugged her knees, burying her face inside as he slender shoulder trembled nonstop.

…

After Xiao Yi walked out, he took the blood-laced knife back onto his car.

He sat at the driver’s seat, smoking.

After seeing her apartment light up, he drove away.

He drove around aimlessly. He was surrounded by bright traffic lights and the busy and luxurious streets, but he felt like he was in the desert.

When he left that morning, she was still fine.

Her willingness to give herself to him meant that she hadn’t let go of him completely. It had only been such a short time, but her attitude had changed so thoroughly.

Xiao Yi had briefly guessed what happened. He turned the car around, driving for some distance before he saw a figure at a traffic junction.

When he saw clearly what that person was doing, Xiao Yi’s dark eyes turned cold.
