1512: Heartless

Heartless

Bo Xiao wanted to explain to An Rao, but before he could say anything, he fell silent again.1

Actually, there was no need for him to say anything. The two of them had already understood everything. In the past few years, Jun Shiling was upset, and so were they. Now that Jun Shiling had something on, Bo Xiao would definitely help him.

After a while, Bo Xiao only said, "I'm sorry."

In the eyes of outsiders, Bo Xiao was a high and mighty official. An Rao had climbed up the social ladder.

However, Bo Xiao knew very well that An Rao was the one who had given the most in their marriage.

On the other end of the line, An Rao was quite calm. She stroked Xiao Qingli's head. "Yuan Yuan has been missing for the past few years. Actually, I'm very sad too. If only you could help CEO Jun bring her back."

"But…" Although Jun Shiling had not revealed many things to the outside world, Bo Xiao had worked with him for many years and could naturally tell something from Jun Shiling's actions. Bo Xiao was not confident about this trip.

Bo Xiao had just said something when An Rao understood what he meant. "I know. Go ahead. Don't worry about the family."

Hearing An Rao's words, Bo Xiao's heart warmed. "An Rao, thank you."

"Thank you very much too." An Rao had a smile on her face. "Really."

In her pale life, Bo Xiao was her salvation. When Bo Xiao needed her, she could also become his last support.

Bo Xiao spoke to An Rao for a while more. Just as he hung up, the ward door opened and Jun Shiling walked out.

Bo Xiao stood up and walked towards Jun Shiling. "How's her condition?"

"It's already stable." Jun Shiling pinched the space between his tired eyebrows. "Why are you here too?"

"You're treating me like an outsider." Bo Xiao looked into Jun Shiling's eyes. "If you need me for anything, just say it. Why are you being so polite to me?"

Jun Shiling looked back at the ward, then turned to walk out. "Come out and let's talk."

Bo Xiao followed Jun Shiling into the garden. It was already the end of spring, and the fallen flowers had withered on the ground, looking very bleak.

Jun Shiling turned to look at Bo Xiao. "You took a long leave?"

"Mm." Bo Xiao nodded.

"Where are you going?" Jun Shiling's eyes narrowed.

"I'll go wherever you go." Bo Xiao looked straight into Jun Shiling's eyes. "There's no need to persuade me. I've already decided."

Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. In the end, he did not say anything and only reached out to pat Bo Xiao's shoulder.

At this moment, in Continent F, Chu Man was sitting on the sofa with a red wine glass in her hand. She quietly looked at Xia Wei, who was packing his things not far away, and her gaze changed.

"Xia Wei." After some time, Chu Man finally could not help but call out to Xia Wei.

Xia Wei turned around. The usual gentleness between his eyebrows was gone, and there was a depth that Chu Man could not understand.

However, this depth was more attractive than gentleness. Looking at Xia Wei like this, for some reason, Chu Man felt helpless.

Even though in everyone's hearts, Xia Wei was her subordinate, only Chu Man knew that the distance between her and Xia Wei was actually very far, till the extent that she could not approach him.

"What's wrong?" Xia Wei had lost some of his usual gentleness and vaguely had the aura of a supreme being. The sharpness in his eyes made one not dare to look straight at him.

"Are you going to look for Xia Wanyuan?" Chu Man finally spoke, completely opening the window between her and Xia Wei.

Xia Wei frowned. "Mm."

"You like her? You like her so much that you know that this meeting will be a narrow escape, but you still want to look for her?"

To the outside world, World A and World D claimed to have an alliance meeting, but almost everyone present knew that this meeting was the only contact between World A and World D in so many years. The danger was unpredictable, and no one knew what the final outcome of the negotiation would be.

Furthermore, as one of the two parties who had initiated the meeting, everyone knew about his entanglement with Xia Wanyuan. They really did not know what Jun Shiling would do in this meeting.

Xia Wei could clearly refute, but he did not. He lowered his head slightly. "Chu Man, you crossed the line."

This was the first time Xia Wei had called her name so directly with a condescending tone. Chu Man felt a little sad.

"Ha, yes, I crossed the line. I shouldn't have picked you up from the desert back then."

Xia Wei lowered his head, his expression unclear. "No matter what, thank you for saving me back then."

He was so calm again and had such a calm expression. Chu Man hated Xia Wei to the core.

She raised her hand and drank the red wine in her glass in one gulp. Then, she walked forward and planted a kiss on Xia Wei's lips.

Seeing this, the surrounding subordinates immediately left the room.

Chu Man was called a fiery rose blooming in the desert. Her loving eyes had a proud dominance and a hint of beauty. No man could resist such temptation.

At this moment, Chu Man placed her hands on Xia Wei's shoulders. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shocking despair and a rare hint of vulnerability.

Any characteristics a woman like Chu Man had were attractive enough. Now, that vulnerability accentuated her, making her have a complicated charm.

Xia Wei's pupils constricted for a moment. Chu Man noticed and narrowed her eyes. "Are you a man?"

Xia Wei was not angered by her. He replied calmly, "Yes."

"Why can't I tell?" Chu Man snorted coldly. "I'm already standing in front of you like this, but you don't react at all. You still say you're a man?"

Xia Wei reached out and pulled Chu Man's hand away from his shoulder. "It's getting late. Go and rest."

Chu Man had already torn apart all her face and taken those 99 steps towards Xia Wei tonight. She did not expect that there was only one last step left, and Xia Wei was unwilling to approach her.

Chu Man clenched her fists. "Am I so annoying??"

Xia Wei took a step back and stood a distance away from Chu Man. "I don't hate you. Don't have any expectations for me. We won't have a future."

"Ha." Chu Man sneered. "Future? The future I, Chu Man, want is in my own hands. What right do others have to tell me that there's no future?"

Looking at the arrogant and confident Chu Man, Xia Wei shook his head slightly. "You don't understand."

"I don't understand?" Chu Man suddenly raised her voice. "Then did you tell me?? Ask yourself honestly. In the past three years, when have you taken off your mask? Xia Wei, you don't have a heart."
