Hearing that Du Xiaoyu wanted to bring her to Xiao Su, Jiang Xiaobai became flustered. She hurriedly withdrew her hands and curled back into her chair, shaking her head vehemently.
“I’m not going. I’m not going to look for him. He didn’t even look for me, and he only wants his Yan. If I go look for him, I would be so embarrassed!”
“So what if you’ll be embarrassed?” Du Xiaoyu was upset as she said, “Is that more important than your happiness? If you miss him, then you should go look for him.”
“No.” Jiang Xiaobai was stubborn. “I won’t look for him. I was always the one initiating things in this relationship. I’m tired and I want to rest.”
Saying this, Jiang Xiaobai stood up, grabbed her bag and prepared to leave.
Shocked, Du Xiaoyu ran after her. “Where are you going?”
“Um, I want to leave. I want to make sure that the bastard Xiao Su won’t be able to find me. Since he likes to abandon me for another person so much, then I’ll let him know how capable I am. I, Jiang Xiaobai, have my dignity too!”
Jiang Xiaobai rushed out at such a speed that Du Xiaoyu could not stop her and had no choice but to follow her quickly. But as they came downstairs, Du Xiaoyu who was a little slower was blocked by the waiter.
“Excuse me, Madam. Please pay the bill.”
“Just wait for a moment. My daughter has run off. I’m going after her for a bit, and I’ll come back to pay later.”
“No, Madam. This is against the rules.”
Since the waiter would not agree to let her go, Du Xiaoyu had no choice but to stop and open her purse. “How much?”
Then, she took some cash out and stuffed it in the waiter’s hand. “I’ll give this much first. I’m going after my daughter first. She’s drunk and it’s dangerous for her to be alone.”
The waiter counted the bills but found that it wasn’t enough. So he went up to block her again, “I’m sorry, Madam. The money isn’t enough.”
Du Xiaoyu was so angry that she wanted to curse at him, but felt that it wasn’t proper of her to do so. So she had to stop and count the money properly before giving it to the waiter.
“Thank you.”
In the end, as Du Xiaoyu finally came out from the restaurant and wanted to find Jiang Xiaobai, she found that the girl had run off and disappeared out of sight. She hurriedly ran around the area several times but could not find Jiang Xiaobai at all. Agitated, she called Jiang Xiaobai’s number.
But Jiang Xiaobai was drunk and not in her right mind now, so she did not pick up the phone.
Du Xiaoyu was so pissed off at this moment. Why did they not choose a restaurant where they could pay upfront and chose this one instead? If she had paid upfront, she wouldn’t have lost her daughter.
This dumb girl Xiaobai will always become crazy if she gets drunk. I hope she won’t be in danger.
Xiao Su had finished discussing a project and had completed all the other tasks in the company. He tidied up his desk and prepared to leave.
As he got into the elevator, he coincidentally met that woman who had confessed her love to him before.
She too didn’t expect to see him as she walked into the elevator and was startled for a moment. Then, she asked him upfront, “Can I come in?”
Xiao Su didn’t have any objection to that, so he pursed his lips and said, “Come in.”
The woman hobbled in. Xiao Su glanced at her and asked out of concern for a coworker, “What’s wrong?”
The woman blushed in embarrassment as she replied, “I’ve never worn high heels before, so I accidentally sprained myself just now.”
Xiao Su glanced at her feet and realized that she was indeed wearing a pair of high heels today. The elevator became silent as they both didn’t say anything else.
Previously, the woman was rejected by Xiao Su. She was well aware that he didn’t like her, and she wasn’t planning on clinging to him anymore. After all, it’s not possible to force someone to love another, and every person had his own fate.
Forcefully clinging onto someone was not something she was able to do.
Therefore, even though she had sprained her foot, she didn’t plan on asking Xiao Su to send her to the hospital.
After a while, Xiao Su felt rather awkward and asked, “Do you need me to send you to the hospital?”
After all, there were only two of them in the elevator. He had asked her about it out of concern and knew that her foot was injured. It would be rude of him if he didn’t offer to send her to the hospital.
Hearing this, the woman was pleasantly surprised as she lifted up her head. But then she seemed to have thought of something as the light in her eyes dimmed and she lowered her eyes, shaking her head.
“Thanks, but it’s fine. I’ve already called for a cab and it will be here when I reach the lobby.”
Already called for a cab? Since it was so, Xiao Su didn’t say another word.
The elevator reached the ground floor and Xiao Su walked out. The woman clung onto the wall as she hobbled after Xiao Su. Staring after his back, she felt rather depressed. If only he is willing to help and hold me for a moment!
No, he’s waiting for his wife to return. How can I hope for him to be nice to me? Instantly, the woman’s imagination was shattered by reality.
After a few steps, she realized that Xiao Su was slowing down. He turned back to glance at her and asked, “Your cab is outside?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Xiao Su wasn’t planning to bother about her, but seeing how aware she was of her position, he felt bad for not helping her. So he went up to her and held her hand. “Let me help you to the cab.”
“Thanks.”
Xiao Su helped the woman up the car, closed the door and prepared to go back to his own car. As he turned around, he saw a familiar figure standing not far away from him.
At first, he thought he was hallucinating and was in disbelief. But as he stared more closely, the figure was still standing there. Her face was streaked with tears.
“Xiaobai?” Xiao Su was shocked and stood rooted to the ground for a long time. Suddenly, he came back to his senses and strode toward her.
Seeing him moving suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly turned around and ran away. Anxiety and panic spread across Xiao Su’s heart as he quickly ran after her.
But as he was chasing after her, he realized that she was running haphazardly, as if she didn’t know where to run to. Although she ran here and there without knowing her way, she was very fast.
Jiang Xiaobai was tall and had a pair of long, slender legs. When she ran, she was so fast as if she was standing on a shooting star.
Actually Xiao Su wasn’t any slower than she was, and their speed was equal. But since Jiang Xiaobai was some distance away from him in the first place, he still couldn’t catch up to her.
Xiao Su increased his speed to catch up to her. Finally, he leaped forward and caught Jiang Xiaobai in his arms.
At that split second when he caught her, Xiao Su heard an explosion going off beside his ear. He was really afraid that she was just an illusion and she would disappear once he caught hold of her.
But now it was different. Jiang Xiaobai was well and truly caught in his embrace, but because his force was too strong, they were going to fall over.
Xiao Su’s arms tightened as he turned her over and used his own body to cushion her fall.
Then, his back hit the ground. The pain shot through his body and awakened all his senses, while the woman in front of him was still lying in his arms safe and sound.
But she had come to her senses and was struggling with all her might.
Xiao Su hugged her tightly and couldn’t help but growl, “Don’t leave me anymore!”
