Chapter 263: I Love You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Somehow, the image in her mind made her feel a little annoyed.

However, she sobered a lot when she thought about his abusive ravaging of her body that night.

The two of them had separated into different paths and what he did with another woman was no longer a concern for her.

Retracting her gaze, Nan Zhi forced down the irritated feeling and left. She found Xia Yanran at the hotel entrance. Pulling at Yanran’s hand, she asked, “Your Brother Yi wants to treat us to watch fireworks?”

Xia Yanran blushed, then nodded her head with slight vigor. “I didn’t expect him to come suddenly.”

“Waa, your Brother Yi is quite romantic.” The Xia family was once part of the top four families in Ning City. However, Yanran, Junyuan and their younger sister were all driven out of the Xia family after their mother passed away. They suffered quite a bit since young and it had not been easy for them.

“Where’s Yubing?” Nan Zhi looked around but did not see Qin Yubing.

“Oh, she... I tried to convince her but she ended up saying that I was looking down on her and thought that she wasn’t worthy of young master Mu.” Qin Yubing had been incredibly defensive when she tried to convince her otherwise, with Qin Yubing eventually throwing back in Yanran’s face that Yanran had also been financially supported by a man three years before.

Back then, Junyuan had been framed by someone three years ago and was almost sent to jail. He needed a large sum of money because of it.

Xia Yanran, who was still studying in university, was afraid that Junyuan’s future would be ruined. She went to dance at the club to earn money and got financially supported by a ‘psychotic’ man for a month.

Although it had been three years since then, everything that happened in that month was still very clear to her and she still felt scared at the thought of it.

That man would use his leather belt and whip her ruthlessly once he was unhappy. He would even burn her arm with a cigarette head sometimes. The man was clearly insane.

Yanran had only told ever Nan Zhi and Yubing about this. She did not think that Yubing would use her scars to attack her tonight.

“Yanran, what’s wrong?”

Xia Yanran returned to her senses from the fear. She rubbed the goosebumps that had formed all over her arms and shook her head. “N-Nothing. Let’s go to the beach and have some fun!”

...

Xia Yanran and Nan Zhi had just arrived at the beach when pretty and vibrant fireworks suddenly lit up the sky, sparkling in the dark night in vibrant bursts of color. It was so colorful it looked like a goddess was throwing flowers one by one in all shapes and colors. The colorful fireworks turned the sky into a bright picture .

“So pretty!” Nan Zhi exclaimed.

The corner of Xia Yanran’s lips curled up in happiness as her eyes turned a little wet. She did not think that she could still gain happiness after she experienced the darkest part of her life.

The fireworks display continued for more than ten minutes. The sky quietened for a while before another few vibrant fireworks sparkled again.

It was different from the fireworks before. It was sparkling and attention-grabbing English words this time.

“I Love U.”

After the fireworks confession ended, a gentle voice rang from behind Xia Yanran. “Yanran, I love you!”

Xia Yanran smiled brightly. Her voice choked up as she said, “Thank you, Yi Fan.” She wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes. Yanran glanced at Nan Zhi, who was standing not too far away and pulled her next to her. “Zhizhi, he’s Yi Fan and Yi Fan, this is my best friend, Nan Zhi.”

Nan Zhi shook hands with Yi Fan as they greeted each other.

Yi Fan was friendly and handsome. He was so gentle and considerate. His gaze at Yanran was also filled with love. Seeing the pair, Nan Zhi was thoroughly happy for Yanran and could not stop the smile on her face.

Yi Fan wrapped his arm around Yanran’s shoulder and said with a smile, “My best buddy is also on Flower Island today. He came to attend the Bo-Nan wedding.”

“He’s wanted to meet you for a long time. There, he’s here.”

Xia Yanran followed Yi Fan’s finger and looked at the direction he was pointing at, only to see a tall and slender black silhouette walking towards them.

Xia Yanran’s pupils constricted suddenly as the silhouette approached them. Her heart started to thump without a rhythm and a dark hand seemed to claw at her chest.
