Chapter 2423: Taking Action
After that night, Xiao Ran did not see Cornelia again for several days. It was not that Xiao Ran was avoiding Cornelia. To him, it was neither a big deal nor something he could not accept or handle. Rather, Cornelia was deliberately avoiding any contact with him on her own, including meeting him face-to-face.
As for the reason, although Xiao Ran could not quite be called an Old Driver, he was at least experienced enough to drive on his own.

It was also normal for her not to know how to handle her relationship with Xiao Ran and to choose to avoid meeting him. But perhaps Cornelia was simply too proud at heart, unwilling to appear before the man who had completely conquered her in both body and mind and reveal her vulnerable side.
Since Cornelia was intentionally avoiding him, Xiao Ran naturally had no intention of shamelessly sticking himself to her, nor did he plan to have a heart-to-heart talk, reason with her, or comfort her. He had no such thoughts at all, and Cornelia did not need anyone to do that for her.
