Wen Xinya turned around and faced him while tears welled up in her eyes. “Si Yiyan, you crook. You… you didn’t even bother to look me up. If I didn’t come here today, you’d probably continue with your life and not see me. I didn’t call, but you didn’t call me either. Neither did you text me…”
Little did he know how flustered and panicked she had been in the past three days, during which she let her imagination run wild. She wondered, Why did Si Yiyan ignore me? Is he upset? Why is Si Yiyan so petty? Si Yiyan is so annoying…
She had never been a pretentious or overly sensitive person. However, she would often find herself over-thinking whenever it came to Si Yiyan.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She clenched her fist and punched his chest. “Do you think that there’s no need to chase me anymore because I’ve already fallen in love with you and that I won’t leave you at all? Is that why you’re so dauntless and confident that I’ll bring myself to you and send myself into the lion’s den?”
Having pushed through three arduous days, she no longer wanted to continue living that way.
“I don’t!” Si Yiyan exclaimed, hugging her in his arms while she struggled.
“You do…” Wen Xinya insisted.
In fact, she knew that she was simply being unreasonable, for she was well aware that she should not be adding on to his burden at such a critical juncture where the Russian political situation was unstable and Lucifer’s existence was at stake.
Si Yiyan kissed her tears away and asked, “Do you think that I’m not that serious about you and our relationship? Is that why you’re feeling upset?”
Wen Xinya sobbed and said, “You’ve got such strong willpower. Gu Yuehan said that you got addicted to drugs a few times in Russia but managed to kick the addiction in the end. We’ve been together for more than two years and, although your hormones raged on countless occasions, you never failed to hold them back and prevent your sexual desires from ruling your head. It seems nothing can erode your willpower!”
She was not confident that she could erode his willpower.
He was too calm and too composed, to the extent that it was slightly intimidating.
She suddenly remembered what Old Mr. Mo had said about Si Yiyan two years ago. He said that she would never be able to control such a manipulative man.
Si Yiyan pressed his hands on her shoulder in a domineering way and exclaimed firmly, “I don’t!”
Wen Xinya’s teary eyes glassed over and she was forced to hold his gaze.
Si Yiyan said, “I don’t. Wan Niang said that giving a man her virginity is a tough decision to make. Because she’s also committing her loyalty and love to him, and making him the love of her life. She’s also handing her happiness to him. Wan Niang said that I was too reckless and that I should be giving you more time…”
Wan Niang’s words ran through his mind, again and again, causing him to doubt himself. He wondered, Am I not good enough for her? Why is it so difficult for her to give herself to me?
He could not help but be reminded of the water that he had given her a few days ago, which was too warm, the time when she had gotten menstrual cramps and he promised to cook her some sweet glutinous porridge but failed to do so because of his busy schedule, as well as the time when he bought her oranges during her period and only found out later that women should not eat oranges when on their period.
It dawned upon him that he did not do well enough.
It was the first time that he ever felt so flustered and uncertain about the future. While he was doubting himself, he also worried about whether Wen Xinya would have doubts about him.
He almost panicked because of the paranoia.
That night, he drove to the Wen Family home and climbed into her room through the window, like a thief. He sat beside the window and gazed at her while she slept.
Today, he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the noises from the engine of her car, while he had a discussion with Gu Yuehan and the man.
He was suddenly filled with a sense of eagerness when he saw her sitting on the couch opposite him. He would often steal a glance at her, though he was afraid that Gu Yuehan and Xu Xianghu would find out. He constantly wondered about how he could hide his feelings.
The teacup and documents had become his tools.
After discussing work, Wen Xinya was overly excited because it had been long since she last saw him. Hence, Si Yiyan began to lose his composure.
Even till now, he still blamed himself for doubting her feelings towards him, while watching her lash out at him tearfully.
Wen Xinya punched him even harder and said, “Fool, bastard, jerk. You’ve already given me two years to think…”
Although she was chiding him, she did not sound angry at all. In fact, she even sounded like she was taking pity on him. He would often spare a thought for her and yet, she did not understand him at all. She blamed herself for chiding him.
Si Yiyan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t cry!”
Wen Xinya hugged his waist and pressed her face against his chest. “Si Yiyan, I’m sorry!”
She was being so willful and preoccupied with her own shyness that she had forgotten to spare a thought for Si Yiyan’s feelings. She felt that she was being too unreasonable for expecting Si Yiyan to pay attention to her despite the tension in Russia.
“Xinya, I’m actually very happy,” Si Yiyan said while gazing at her and admiring her incredible beauty. All he wanted was to shower her with affection, especially after she wept pitifully.
The fact that she would show him such a vulnerable side of her meant that she had reached another level of intimacy with him.
Upon recalling her words, Wen Xinya hurriedly changed the subject and asked, “Who was that big dimwit? Why do you have such a dense subordinate?”
She was filled with anger at the thought of him.
Si Yiyan burst into laughter and fiddled with her hair. “He’s Xu Xianghu, one of the leaders of Lucifer. He’s my able subordinate.”
He particularly emphasized on the word “able” because he felt a need to save his subordinate from some embarrassment.
Wen Xinya sneered in disdain. “He’s able-bodied but thick in the head. Do you really feel safe leaving Lucifer in his hands?”
Wen Xinya felt extremely annoyed at the thought of Xu Xianghu almost causing her to embarrass herself and getting in their way. Hence, she decided to tell tales to Si Yiyan and criticize Xu Xianghu, in a bid to warn him not to mess with his boss’ woman.
Si Yiyan gave it some thought and said, “You’re right. There’s a lack of manpower in the oilfield in the East region, would you like me to transfer him there?”
Si Yiyan had initially arranged for Xu Xianghu to come to the city because he intended to let the latter be in charge of the oilfield cooperation so that he could have more time to accompany Wen Xinya. Yet, Xu Xianghu knocked on the door…
Could it be that I made the wrong decision? Wen Xinya smiled, punched his chest playfully and teased. “Silly emperor.”
“If I’m a silly emperor, you’re the trouble.”
Wen Xinya punched him again and exclaimed, “Do you really want to be a silly emperor!?!”
Actually, she could tell that Xu Xianghu was not a simple man.
Si Yiyan chuckled and said, “Yes, I’m planning to give it a try, but you don’t seem qualified to be a troublemaker.”
She was merely gossiping and telling on Xu Xianghu and yet, she was already extremely nervous.
Wen Xinya could not help but pity Xu Xianghu for offending his boss as well.
