Chapter 445: Chapter 449: We Can’t Really Just Ignore Him, Can We?
He really wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her that all of this was just an act.
But these thoughts of Xing Chen were something Ran Xiangsi would never know.
She was proud at her core too, and was willing to let her guard down and talk to him about this, which was already a bit of a stretch.
Yet he kept pushing her boundaries, saying such things...
"You!" She gritted her teeth, glaring angrily, "Fine, it’s your thing. If you don’t cherish and care about it, there’s no point in others saying more! Don’t come crying to me when you regret it!"
She threw out these words and stormed off in a rage.
She had come with good intentions to help, only to be sarcastically rebuked by him, who would feel good about that?
Ping’an saw Ran Xiangsi running out with a dark expression and then walked into the office.
His gaze fell on the young master who was still leaning against the sofa.
He had never seen such a young master before; his eyes were a bit blank, staring aimlessly at a spot.
The hand holding the wine glass was also hanging weakly, loosely, as if the glass might fall to the ground in the next second.
"Young Master, Miss Ran... she seemed very sad."
Ping’an had no right to interfere in Xing Chen’s affairs.
However, the current situation was indeed a bit worrying.
Fortunately, Xing Chen did not blame Ping’an for meddling, and after sitting up straight, he raised his hand and drained the liquid in the wine glass.
"Ping Le has already found some clues. Today, someone approached her on the subway. At this point, there’s no turning back." Xing Chen had made up his mind and no one could change it. Yet, he didn’t know why, seeing her so upset, he also felt a vague unease in his heart, "Report her movements to me at all times."
"Yes, Young Master." Ping’an nodded and stepped out.
He had never doubted the decisions made by the young master.
It seemed that this opponent was indeed formidable, otherwise the young master wouldn’t have to take such risks.
Ping’an harbored no blame for the young master; he could see that the young master was actually very upset too...
He hoped that the two of them could successfully get through this ordeal.
On the other side, Ran Xiangsi went straight into the elevator and descended to the first floor.
Standing alone at the foot of the building under the bright sunshine, she suddenly couldn’t move her feet.
Looking up at the towering building, thinking about the man who still sat on one of the floors inside, the man who was jealous and always making troubles, she began to feel reluctant again.
"Sigh, cheer up Xiangsi... You really can’t just ignore him, right? Never mind, since he won’t let me touch the system, I’ll go find Xie Jiaqi..."
Talking to herself, Ran Xiangsi called Xie Jiaqi down, and the two went to a nearby ice cream shop for a while.
Ran Xiangsi almost told Xie Jiaqi every unexpected situation she could think of and how to solve them.
After all, they were in the same profession, so their conversation was simple and to the point.
Xie Jiaqi took all these to heart, but the more he listened, the more surprised he became while looking at Ran Xiangsi.
"Why don’t you tell President Xing these things? If he knew..."
"Don’t tell him I taught you this. If he fires you too by then, it will be my fault..." Ran Xiangsi shrugged helplessly. Even if Xing Chen had refused her so firmly, she really couldn’t just leave...
At the end of the day, it’s because she wanted to protect her master that she hurt Xing Chen.
