Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering
Chapter 1042: Meeting“It has been almost a year since then and I haven’t contacted him. He is now the boss of the gang and is doing very well. But he has nothing to do with me anymore.”
Xia Yanran put her hand on her forehead, her voice hoarse. “Zhizhi, we both did our best. Actually, I don’t have any regrets after breaking up, it’s enough that we were in love before.”
Nan Zhi moved to Xia Yanran’s side and put her arm around her shoulders. Xia Yanran leaned her head against Nan Zhi and there was a smile on her face. “Is it that hard to find a man with two legs in the world? As long as I curl my finger, there will be many men that are like-minded.”
“Yanran, if you’re really not suitable, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to start afresh.”
Xia Yanran nodded. “I know. That’s why I broke up with him. After the situation with the company improves, I plan to start a new relationship.”
…
Because of the matters at the newspaper company, Xia Yanran did not stay any longer at Nan Zhi’s. She left the Capital with the photographer the day after Nan Zhi registered her marriage.
Returning to Ning City, Xia Yanran did not know if she had caught the cold. After getting down from the plane, she felt drowsy and unwell.
The photographer, Da Li, called a taxi for her. “I’ll compile the news of the King and Queen of S Country when I get back. You’d better go home and take your medicine and have a good rest.”
Xia Yanran sneezed two times in succession. Ning City was colder than the Capital. She shrunk her face into her scarf and nodded. “Thank you.”
“It’s all right.” Ever since he knew that Xia Yanran was the Queen’s best friend, Da Li had become even more hardworking.
Before getting into the taxi, Xia Yanran reminded him repeatedly, “Don’t say anything about my relationship with the Queen.” Zhizhi and her were best friends and there was purely friendship between them. She did not want anyone to use her to get benefits from Zhizhi after finding out about their relationship.

Da Li patted his chest and promised. “Don’t worry. I won’t say a word.”
Xia Yanran returned home and glanced into Junyuan’s room. He had already gone back to work, only just having walked out of the shadow of being injured. Being a surgeon who could no longer hold a scalpel was a fatal blow to him.
Fortunately with her and their sister’s company, he had walked out of it. Not only did he open a drugstore sometime ago, he now had a girlfriend as well.
Xia Yanran found the cold medicine and after taking it, she slept.
After resting a day, she felt better.
Concerned about the company, Xia Yanran wore a smart suit and went to the company.
Not long after entering the office, a female colleague suddenly came to her table, saying mysteriously, “Yanran, you’re the small boss, have you heard of it?”
Xia Yanran raised her eyebrows. “Heard about what?”
“The few days you’re not around, the big boss changed hands. I don’t know if there will be a personnel shake-up. Yanran, I have old and young ones relying on me. If the new boss cuts down the staff, you have to protect me!”
“Sister Mei, you’re a senior employee. Even if there’s a new boss, you won’t be laid off.”
“I hope so!”
Sister Mei looked around and then continued mysteriously, “Let me tell you secretly. I heard that the new boss bought our company for a woman.”
Xia Yanran’s heart jolted.
For a woman?
Xia Yanran frowned and seemed to feel that what she guessed was impossible. When she proposed to break up with Xiao Yi, he did not agree but his silence and a year of not contacting her already showed that he had agreed to break up with her.
How could he possibly buy the shares of the big boss? Although they had separated, she had heard some things about him in Hong Kong. He was fierce and ruthless in his methods and made those founding members in the gang who did not obey him, submit to him. The gang he was in had become the leading gang in Hong Kong. Now everyone called him ‘Brother Yi’ respectfully wherever he went.
But Xia Yanran knew that no matter how good he looked, he was still dangerous.
Reluctant to think about him again, Xia Yanran concentrated on her work all morning.
…
In the afternoon, Xia Yanran received a call from the big boss. The new big boss would be coming to the office at 4 p.m.
Xia Yanran was a little surprised. So there really was a change in management? Hearing the news, Xia Yanran had to inform the other staff.
“We changed our big boss? I hope he’s not a bald man with a big belly this time!” said Bai Tongtong, who considered herself the most beautiful and fashionable in the company.
“Tongtong, don’t tell me you want the big boss to be a wealthy handsome man?” Da Li laughed.
“Of course. A beautiful and rich woman like me is here, I naturally would want a wealthy handsome man to match with me! The men in our company are all ugly. I feel irritated looking at them everyday.”
Da Li looked defeated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXia Yanran and Sister Mei heard their conversation and their eyes met. None of them saying anything. Everyone in the company knew that Da Li liked Bai Tongtong, but Bai Tongtong disliked him. She would say some things to provoke him everyday but Da Li still enjoyed it.
In order to leave a good first impression on the new boss, Bai Tongtong dressed herself up fancily.
Four o’clock in the afternoon finally came around.
“The new boss is here!” Somebody shouted and all the staff immediately stood at the door to welcome the boss. Xia Yanran arranged her clothes. As the small boss, she had to welcome him personally.
A steady and strong sound of footsteps rang from the corridor and a group of people came in.
Xia Yanran looked at the man in the middle and her body froze. Her legs felt like it was filled with lead and she could not move them for a moment.
That person wore a black leather jacket with a dark colored turtleneck inside. He had both hands in his pants pocket and wore sunglasses. He did not look like a boss coming for an inspection, but rather like a big boss with a powerful aura.
Xia Yanran pursed her lips. She really could not understand, they had not contacted each other for a year and had broken up. Why did he buy the shares of her company from the previous boss?
In the morning, Sister Mei said that he bought the shares for a woman. Was it for her?
He still wanted them to continue their endless entanglement?
Xia Yanran felt a complicated feeling in her heart.
Looking at him approaching step by step, Xia Yanran held her breath. Time and experience had worn off the intimidating badness and sharpness that exuded out from his body. Now, he seemed to have matured, but he was still full of a devilish coldness, overbearing arrogance and dominance.
“Master Xiao, this is the chief editor, Xia Yanran who is a small shareholder of the company. Chief Editor Xia, this is the new big boss of the company,” the previous boss introduced enthusiastically.
Xiao Yi took off his sunglasses and his slender eyes looked at Xia Yanran with no emotions, and there was even a trace of coldness lingering. He smirked coldly and hummed with no clear reason.
