Chapter 334: Chapter 334: A Distressed Someone_1 Chapter 334: Chapter 334: A Distressed Someone_1 What made him even more helpless was… after so much had happened, didn’t Ranran think to come and comfort him?
Could it be because she doesn’t care about him? That there’s no place for him in her heart?
Si Limo suddenly fell into such a tangled state of mind, wondering if there was even a slight hint of affection for him in Qiao Xiaren’s heart?
After much internal struggle, he abruptly stood up, simply grabbed his coat and car keys, and headed straight out the door.
Watching Si Limo’s retreating figure, Si Er shook his head, an expression of clear understanding on his face: “Keep it up, I knew he wouldn’t be able to hold back.”
The bystander was puzzled, “Is Si Limo rushing back from the military region to deal with company matters? Such a hard worker. He’s certainly our role model. We must learn from him!”
Qiao Xiaren was in the lounge when there was a knock at the door, she thought it was Xixi.
To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, a tall and upright figure suddenly bore down on her, pushing her against the wall. The sound of the door closing behind him echoed in her ears.
He trapped her entirely in his arms, seeking her lips. She retreated step by step, he advanced step by step, until she could retreat no further.
“Si Limo, what are you doing…” Qiao Xiaren had always been overwhelmed by his aggressive approach, instinctively trying to push him away.
It was as if he had anticipated her struggle, he had cut off every escape route. Contending with this man, indeed, she couldn’t let her guard down even for a moment.
She quite distinctly felt that his mood wasn’t great. His lips came down on hers, the scent of his breath laced with a hint of mint smoke. With a firm yet gentle touch, his forehead rested against hers, calming him down only after quite some time.
“You liked the beef from that place last time, I brought some back for you.”
Si Limo’s mood changed as quickly as it came. Qiao Xiaren couldn’t quite figure him out, she answered calmly: “Then you should let go of me first.”
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Qiao Xiaren suddenly reached up lazily, her pale fingertips tapping lightly on his chest, “That’s what I should be asking you. Was it you who meddled with Lei Ruida?
His eyes narrowed slightly, a deep luster shimmering within, “Are you still upset about that dirty old man?”
Anyone who dared to have thoughts about her, to cause her trouble, he would deal with ruthlessly.
Qiao Xiaren looked at him and eventually broke into a soft smile, “No, I just wanted to compliment you.”
“A compliment? I prefer something more substantial, like…” His lips came closer again but Qiao Xiaren took advantage of the moment to push him away, stepping out of his grip. The man was slightly disappointed, missing just by a bit.
Looking over, she indeed saw neatly packaged beef of quite a generous portion. There were also a lot of snacks, all sorts of nuts like pecans, and several types of sweet and spicy foods.
“You didn’t specially buy these snacks for me, did you? Perfect, I was just thinking of having some.” Qiao Xiaren couldn’t help but chuckle. Despite her older mindset, like others her age in this second life, she had a particular affection for these sweet and spicy snacks.
“You’re still just a child.” He followed over, caressing her hair. After a moment, he let out a chuckle, “From now on, I’ll take care of all your snacks and delicious food.”
Not long after Qiao Xiaren was at the company, she received a call from Mo Guanyu. The show to Explore the Mysterious Reality wanted to invite her as a guest for their current season, they had already sent the notice to her agent.
