《Avoid the Protagonist》 Chapter 1 - Same Name (1) Xin Siyue dragged her tired body and her large pink suitcase out the elevator, her complexion noticeably haggard. She had been on a business trip for nearly a month, and had not been able to sleep well day and night, but what she couldnt stand most was that despicable baldy CEO with the round belly. Every night, she did her best to build a good professional relationship with this business partner. However, one time during a toast, she was pushed aside while being ridiculed that her body was no use. Since she cant get drunk, the man said he preferred a beautiful woman to drink beside him. At that point, Xin Siyue, who seldom drank wine since childhood, gritted her teeth and forced herself to smile at those disgusting faces. She reluctantly swallowed one cup of wine after the other until she ended up feeling nauseous. Her eyes turned red as she vomited at the hotel rooms bathroom. Recalling how those filthy beasts took advantage of the dim restaurant and touched her thighs, she wanted to curse at their familys 18-generations for thousands of times over! Hmph! When this Miss recovers, shell make sure theyll wish they were dead! When Xin Siyue thought of those despicable faces and her own helplessness, her face scowled even deeper, but soon, a glint flashed through her eyes. Even though her days have been difficult, hasnt she survived? What was she afraid of? She smiled once again and slid the hair on her cheeks behind her ears. If the project becomes a success, she might have a brighter future in the company. Now that her task was over, the number of unpleasant meals will be reduced. Well, most importantly, she can go home and surprise Lin Hui, In the past, the Xin family fell apart; her parents died, her brother had completely disappeared to who knows where, and a series of bad luck had befallen her since then. Thankfully, Lin Hui never abandoned her. He didnt even mind that she had nothing! The two of them applied for a marriage license and soon became husband and wife. Everything happened so fast while maintaining a low-key reputation. Although their marriage life wasnt wealthy, they had great joy in each others company. Even in poverty, their times together were very beautiful. Xin Siyue tried to display her brightest smile as she opened the door lightly, but her smile suddenly froze the moment she saw clothes scattered across the hallway leading towards the bedroom. Suit, coat, tie, a long sleeve shirt, a womans white bra, denim shorts, black underwear Xin Siyues face, which had been slightly pale, became even paler in an instant. Her eyes were fixed on the closed door to the bedroom. There was poor sound insulation through the walls. She stood stiff in her place as she heard a womans groans and whispers: Uh-uhslow down. Pain, hey, slow down, slow down, hurry up You little devil The growling mans voice was full of joy. Whose voice could that be other than Lin Hui?! Mr. Lin, it seems that your wife has no ability to satisfy you Why mention that b*tch?! If she wasnt the precious young Miss of the Xin family, do you think I wouldve married her? I just thought that Chen Sinan would let me off if I married into the Xin family, but who wouldve thought his grudge would go so deep that he wouldnt even consider his old relationship with the Xin family. To think he would directly uproot their foundations which had been prosperous for the past 100 years. Now theyve fallen into misfortune. Xin Siyue could only feel herself go cold. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fist, and stepped forward, when she suddenly heard Lin Hui sarcastically say: How can her bed technique be as good as yours? Every time I move, she cries out in pain, saying it hurts while calling me a bastard. Woman, I havent even made my move Lin Hui, you bastard! Unable to bear it any longer, Xin Siyue pushed the door open while cursing his name. She went straight in and without a word, grabbed a glass bottle not far from the door, then smashed it towards the back of Lin Huis head while he laid on top of some unknown woman. Chapter 2 - Same Name (2) Ch.2 Same Name (2) Upon hearing the newcomers voice, Lin Hui immediately turned around and saw Xin Siyue, who had a fierce and murderous expression. The man quickly raised his hand and blocked the glass bottle. Xin Siyue huffed and once again advanced, but the bottle was soon snatched from her hand directly. Xin Siyue, youre insane! Yes, Im definitely insane! I was crazy for treating you like a human being! She always thought that she had found hope in the low valley, but in the end, all her hope was placed on a scum worse than a beast! Well, if Im not human, then youre certainly no different! Who in Shengjin city doesnt know how shameless and cheap you were when you chased Chen Sinan? In the end, youve been thrown away like trash Yes! Just as you want to smash my head, I also want to throw you away! Xin Siyue glanced at the despicable woman who was wrapping herself in a bathrobe by the bedside, obviously enjoying their drama on the sidelines. At such a sight, her temper rose again and she lifted her hand to slap Lin Hui on the face. The man gritted his teeth and cursed at the mad woman who wanted to retaliate. He raised the glass bottle and smashed it against her head without any remorse. As the crisp sound of shattering reverberated, Xin Siyue could only hear a buzz in her head. As she slowly fell, she saw many scenes in her mind, frame by frame. She recalled her college days when she relentlessly chased after Chen Sinan despite his cold rejection. She thought of her parents and brother who died tragically. Those days, she was once that bright, carefree and arrogant girl who had all the delicacies and clothing However, none of these will ever return. Before dying, she heard that disgusting woman speak with a concerned voice: Oh no, you killed your wifeC What are you afraid of, help me tidy up the scene! Remember, she slipped and fell on her own and her head hit the bottle. Then she bled so much that she died! You better not talk too much, or else you wont get away with it Before the last of Xin Siyues consciousness disappeared, she simply felt that her retribution this lifetime was truly deserved, and thus, had no regrets dying. After all, whats the use of regret? Xin Siyue couldnt have Chen Sinan for herself. She wanted to tear apart that Sheng Wenyang, but as a result, that woman ended up in a wedding dress while she herself was forced to walk the road to hell. This is the end of my life. Maybe not long after, no one will remember my existence. CEnd of story. After reading the ending, Xin Siyue sighed heavily and closed the book solemnly. For some reason, she only felt as if her heart weighed down. After work that afternoon, she visited the bookstore to find a romance novel to read. Upon discovering a novel whose villainess shared the same name as hers, she immediately opened its pages and began reading in excitement. She just never expected the ending to be so tragic. Most of the plot consisted of intense, dog-blooded drama. Sheng Wenyang, the novels female protagonist, started out as an ordinary girl. Because of her excellent academic performance, exceptional temperament, and her many chance encounters with the male protagonist, they gradually began to develop feelings towards each other. However, the woman prioritized her career ambition; Sheng Wenyang had always hoped to break free of the worlds traditions and become equally matched with her man by gaining the strength to withstand the wind and storm of the business world. Thus, she leaves Chen Sinan and goes abroad without saying a word. After Xin Siyue meets the male protagonist and falls in love with him at first sight, she tries every means to win his heart. Whenever the opportunity presented itself, she would deliberately approach him. However, for these few years up until the female protagonists return, Xin Siyue never managed to catch the mans sight. Unable to stand for this, the villainess pointed all her spears at the female protagonist, setting up traps everywhere while abusing her. Naturally, Sheng Wenyang, with her main character halo, always managed to escape danger with the help of the male protagonist. The couples feelings would grow deeper with time, while Chen Sinan would come to abhor the villainess even more. Chapter 3 - Same Name (3) Ch.3 Same Name (3) Near the end of the novel, Chen Sinan was completely enraged when the villainess husband, Lin Hui, caused Sheng Wenyang to miscarry her one-month old baby. Within half a month, the Xin family and their company went bankrupt, and both Xin parents committed suicide in tears. Xin Siyue lived for less than a year before dying miserably. For some reason, the reader Xin Siyue was in a sour mood after reading the novel, perhaps because she shared the same name as that woman. Her name was obviously very special. How could a villainess be given the same name as her? Although the womans fate was miserable and the male and female protagonists won a happy ending as expected, Xin Siyue wasnt happy at all. The more she read this book, the more her heart felt choked. Suddenly, she stood up, picked up the book, and put on her slippers before walking out of the room. Better take this out of my sight so I can forget about it! She had this thought as she hurried down the stairs. Without paying attention to her feet, Xin Siyue felt her slippers accidentally slip off a step and her whole body soon rolled down the stairs. Her efforts to save herself were futile. It took a while before her body stopped falling down the steps and excruciating pain enveloped her. Her eyelashes trembled and she could barely see the book spread open in front of her. The text bled so much that she died was stained with red blood. The wet sensation seemed to spread from the back of her head. Before Xin Siyue could think of her life this past month, her vision blacked out and she fainted. *** Siyue, Siyue, are you awake? Xin Siyue woke up in a daze. Hearing someone call out her name, she struggled to open her eyes when an intense pain throbbed at the back of her head. She recalled that just before, she was so angry that she decided to throw away her novel. Instead, she rolled straight down the stairs, probably knocking her head against the sharp edges of the stairs corners. D*mn it, it hurts. She subconsciously frowned from the pain. A womans happy voice rang out: Shes awake! Hurry and call a doctor! Xing Siyue slowly tried to open her eyes, but all she could see was the vague image of a middle-aged woman with delicate makeup. She seemed to be looking at her with worry Siyue, are you finally awake? You scared mother to death! Xin Siyues eyes narrowed. No, no, how can she be my mother? My mom was obviously a country woman. She would never wear makeup with elegant clothes! I must be hallucinating. Xin Siyue closed her eyes and went back to sleep. It seemed to be late at night by the time she woke up once again. As she looked up, the brilliant crystal chandelier up ahead was just too dazzling. Xin Siyue unconsciously reached out her hand to shield her eyes from the bright light, but someone suddenly caught her wrist. Then, she heard a steady male voice say: Dont move, your arm is attached to the IV drip. Somewhat puzzled, Xin Siyue woke up properly and looked at the stranger beside her. You are? At her question, the handsome young man, stiffly stared at her before scolding: Who am I? Im your brother! Brother. No, she should be an only child! Of course, illegitimate children outside her fathers marriage cant be counted! Xin Siyue was very confused at this moment. The more she tried to think, the more painful her head felt. Noticing her pale face, Xin Qiancheng composed himself and solemnly asked: You dont know who I am? Huh? Do you know what your name is? She replied without even thinking: Xin Siyue. The man touched her forehead and happily said: Well, it seems that you havent completely gone stupid. Im Xin Qiancheng, your brother. Xin Qiancheng? Why does that name sound familiar? Xin Siyue suddenly recalledC this was a name that appeared several times in the novelCthe villainess brother! No way! What just happened?! Chapter 4 - Doubts Ch.4 Doubts Xin Siyue painstakingly tried to recall, What city did the female and male protagonists live in again? ShengC what? She remembered how the author liked the female protagonist so much that the first word for the citys name was also the same as the protagonists last name Thats right! Xin Siyue asked in a hurry: Is this Shengjin City? Xin Qiancheng carefully observed her, but after a while, her eyes were still inquisitive and clear. Seems like this wasnt a prank, so he could only nod. Xin Siyue suddenly felt helpless out of fear. She closed her eyes in defeat. Yes, yes! She actually transmigrated over into a novel as the villainess who was headed straight for a tragic ending! Xin Siyue wondered where the plot was at during this timeline. She asked her brother: How old am I now? Xin Qiancheng raised a brow and asked seriously this time: You really dont remember? Xin Siyue nodded, but immediately shook her head once again. Her brother asked impatiently: What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head? I only recall my name and some other vague details. For example, Im the eldest daughter of the Xin family. I know this is Shengjin City, and also Xin Siyue wanted to share a few other information regarding the villainess in the book, but she wasnt sure of her present circumstances and could only do her best to avoid arousing suspicion. So she changed the topic and said, I only remember these details, but I cant recall the rest. Xin Qiangchengs brows knitted deeply as he considered her words. After pondering about it for a while, he said, Go to bed first. Ill call the doctor to see you. Okay, thanks brother. Xin Qiancheng, who was about to turn and leave, suddenly stopped on his tracks and stared back at her doubtfully for two seconds. Finally, he walked out of the room with a disconcerted look. Weird, how can falling down the stairs make her act so strange? Since when did my sister treat others so politely? Did her brain really break down this time? She already wasnt very smart in the beginningCif we dont prevent it from degrading any further, who knows what disaster will come! At this thought, Xin Qianchengs pace quickened. Upon seeing the man slip away so quickly, Xin Siyue laid back in bed and sighed in her heart. The former Xin Siyue of the novel had such a temper that not even her brother was willing to be close to her. Although there werent many descriptions of Xin Qiancheng in the book, its not difficult to see that he was a smart and capable person. He was able to run most of the Xin familys businesses at such a young age, but he was later implicated due to the villainess deeds. She recalled a scene in the novel, right after the villainess had succeeded in plotting Sheng Wenyangs miscarriage. Outside the operating room, Chen Sinan, who had always maintained a calm and composed demeanor, now wrapped his fingers around the villainess neck with one had and viciously warned, If something happens to her, Ill definitely bury your corpse with her! She also recalled the authors description: For the first time, Xin Siyue felt a deep fear from the murderous aura that emanated from Chen Sinans body. It was as if his cold hands could tighten its grasp mercilessly around her throat at any moment, easily taking away her life. She wanted to struggle against him, but did not have even half the strength to resist Finally, Xin Qiancheng rushed into the hall in a hurry, giving his sister a chance to live. Xin Qiancheng walked behind Chen Sinan and ordered in a chilling voice: Chen Sinan, youd better let her go this instant! Chen Sinan simply replied: And if I say no? Then I wont let you rest, even if I have to use all of our Xin family resources! Chen Sinan sneered and replied without shame: Id like to see who it is between us who will have no time of peace! After that, he pushed the villainess away, causing Xin Siyue to hit the wall behind her. Her eyes burst into tears as she heard Chen Sinans parting words with a cold warning: Xin Siyue, just wait, Ill have you pay off your debts! Chapter 5 - Avoid Entanglement Ch.5 Avoid Entanglement Chen Sinan threatened her to stay out of his sight. As she sobbed on the floor, Xin Qiancheng squatted down next to her and lifted her up. He advised: I told you before that hes not the man for you. Chen Sinan is not the kind of person you can force or keep by your side. Now you finally know right? His sister cried so hard that her tears fell like rain. She retorted fiercely: But what can I do? I just love him! Xin Qianchengs face darkened and he looked at her silently. The man isnt interested in you at all even after all youve done to pursue him. He was quite clear in expressing his rejection. In that case, why not let go and just live freely? The current Xin Siyue also felt some sympathy for Xin Qiancheng at that time. In fact, there was nothing he could do to convince such a stubborn person. With these thoughts, Xin Xiue drifted off to sleep. By the time she woke up again, it was early in the morning. This time, the person sitting in front of the bed was the villainess beautiful mother. Xinyue considered that since she had transmigrated into the world, she had yet to find a way to return back to her own. There is the saying only those who recognize the trends of the times can become outstanding figures. Perhaps the way for her to return was by letting nature take its course and simply wait for the male and female protagonists to write their happy ending. Whatever happens after that is none of her business. But before the ending, she must reduce her already small sense of existence and not get entangled with them. That way, everything should turn out fine, right? As for the villainess tragic end at the male protagonists hands, she believed that this was no longer a problem! Why? Because she wasnt the real Xin Siyue, and the current her had no feelings for Chen Sinan whatsoever! While she was deep in thought, her mother gave a long sigh. Siyue, there are so many good men in the world. Although that Chen kid is exceptional, you are the eldest daughter of our Xin family, meaning there is a long line of excellent men waiting for you in the future. And who knows if your tastes change someday? Lets not pursue this any longer. Upon hearing this remark, she silently thought to herself: Wow, with this kind of mother, the villainess really wasnt worthy of her own parents! But maybe its not so good that shes boasting about her daughter too much? Then the next second, Xin Siyues thoughts were thrown in turmoil! Wait, does that mean the villainess already knows of Chen Sinan at this point? So shes already in college? Mom? Xin Siyue asked weakly: How old am I right now? Mother Xin gazed at her with incredulity and asked, Did you really forget everything? I forgot, Xin Siyue nodded. Well, if her daughter has forgotten everything, then that must include Chen Sinan. Since they will simply meet as strangers in the future, its all for the best! With a complicated look on her face, Mother Xin immediately called for the doctor. After the doctor examined her, his lines were no different from those in a drama series: Based on her circumstances, it is presumed that her concussion led to a partial loss of memory. What do you mean? Mother Xin asked anxiously. To put it simply, its amnesia. It was Xin Siyue who said this before the doctor could open his mouth. Left speechless, the physician couldnt help but glance at her. Meanwhile, faced with the mans unspeakable look, Xin Siyue laughed and said, Doctor, Im very much aware of my health. Mother Xin, who didnt know what words to say for a while, finally said, You mean, amnesia? The doctor looked at Xin Siyue helplessly and nodded. Mother Xins eyes reddened as she looked at her daughters tearless face. Her heart ached for her child. Xin Siyue mentally rolled her eyes. What was she worried about? Its not like this condition was a terminal disease, plus she didnt actually have amnesia. Actually, she knew way too much when it comes to the plot, but right now, she couldnt name people based on their faces. Thats why she still needed to use amnesia as an excuse. Chapter 6 - Accepting ‘Reality’ Ch.6 Accepting Reality Xin Siyue made up her mind to carry out her amnesia act til the end, so she quietly comforted her mother: Mom, even though I have amnesia, its not necessarily a bad thing. Im still in good health, arent I? Whats better than living in peace and security right now? You can tell me more about the past, and who knows, maybe Ill recall everything after you give me some time. Even if I cant remember, I dont think its a big issue. So mom, dont be sad, Im alright. Mother Xins eyes gradually showed a hint of incredulity and horror at her daughters words of comfort. Since when did her daughter comfort her so obediently rather than lash out? The only way she can calm her mind was by reasoning that perhaps her daughter has now become sensible after falling down those stairs. Well, its good that shes safe and healthy, so nothing else should matter. The confusion on Mother Xins face cleared up at once, which caused Xin Siyue to sigh in relief. Yes, good. I successfully made it through! At any rate, even if some unfortunate event was waiting for her in the future, everyone will know now that she lost her memory. That way, they wont pursue her misdeeds to the end. Xin Siyue spend the next half of the month taking good care of herself. She listened as her family members took turns trying to tell her of her experiences, along with all kinds of important and minor details, day after day. But out of all the information, there were only two details that Xin Siyue considered useful. One is that her father was Xin Jin and the other is that her mother was Bai Ning. These things were never mentioned in the novel. When the original author mentioned their suicide, she simply called them Father Xin and Mother Xin. Out of the past several days she has stayed with them, she truly felt like a daughter who was doted on by her elders. They sincerely wanted to give her everything she asked for. And although Xin Qiancheng occasionally showed a bad attitude towards her, his tone layered with impatience, she could still feel the mans love for his only sister. He simply wasnt good at expressing it. In times when Xin Siyue was alone, she always felt that if she lived this way in the real world, it would surely be the kind of life that everyone envies. Her present familys economic standing was superior, and there was family love and harmony. Xin Siyues current physical health gave her many advantages that she never had in her past life! Back in her world, she was born in the countryside to a poor family. Her mother wasnt in good health while her father was an undisciplined and profligrate man. They quarreled with each other all year round, sometimes so fiercely that no one else could stop them. After Xin Siyue graduated from high school, her parents soon divorced. She then went on to college and attended part time, and soon after her graduation, she went on to poor primary schools among the mountains to teach. However, Xin Siyue never expected that before she could complete two years of teaching, she suddenly transmigrated into a novel. In fact, she was still quite confused right now; in the end, was her previous life real, or was her present life the actual real thing? How can such a strange event be possible? Over time, she convinced herself to accept it. Rather than waking up every morning with a panic-stricken face, checking her surroundings to see whether she has left the novel world and returned back to her own world, it was better to get used to her situation. In addition, she also learned from her family that she was now at her sophomore year on her second semester. Xin Siyue knew that the villainess originally aimed for a Dance major, but later changed it to the Art Department to chase after Chen Sinan. Thats because right next to the Art Department was the Construction and Engineering Department which Chen Sinan attended. Two days before going to school, Xin Siyue considered the fact that she personally had no talent for drawing. Was it too late for her to switch departments now? Will she be able to do it? Chapter 7 - Crossing Paths Ch.7 Crossing Paths Xin Siyues questions were answered the day she returned to school. After Xin Qiancheng drove her to her college, he paid the Deans office a visit for ten minutes before walking out the door and handing over a piece of paper to her directly. It was a written consent on transferring her department. Below was the Deans signature along with the schools bright red seal. Xin Siyue was shocked silly. Was it so easy to change departments in this era? And wasnt she in the second semester of her sophomore year? Seeing his own sister wide-eyed with surprise, such a straightforward expression left Xin Qiancheng feeling helpless. Although it was a little unpleasant back then to see her unrestrained arrogance, her current expression was also annoying to look at. Yes he was smart, but what should he do about his own sisters lack of brain cells! Xin Qiancheng had to lower his pride as he finally explained things to her in a dignified manner: Half of the investments in this school comes from our Xin family. If you want to change departments, its simply a matter of saying one sentence. After saying so, he privately thought to himself: The fact that I came here personally was more than enough to show the Dean some respect. Xin Siyue clicked her tongue and said half-jokingly: Sure enough, with money, even ghosts will be willing to do the grinding for you.** (T/N: Chinese idiom, as long as you have the money, someone will always be willing to do the job for you.) Then youre the one bribing the ghosts, said Xin Qiancheng good naturedly. He knew that she intentionally made fun of him so he replied in a good mood. Just before he could finish his sentence, he looked up slightly and noticed a young man approaching, not far away. Chen Sinan wore a white short-sleeved shirt with one hand lazily resting in his pockets. He walked onwards without a care, and with each step, the aura of a young master could not be denied. Xin Siyue was curious as to why her brother suddenly looked so defensive. When she turned around to follow his line of sight, she immediately noticed an attractive, beautiful man. What the hell! Hes as handsome as a devil! Although she cried out in her heart, she couldnt look away. At this time, Xin Qiancheng pulled her hand and dragged her forward. Lets go! It was a simple and concise command. Xin Siyue hurriedly looked back at her brother with some wonder: Its not like they encountered a monster, what was he in such a hurry for? Do the both of them have some kind of grudge? As she thought of this Xin Siyue happened to brush past the man, but then immediately noticed those thick brows, beautiful Phoenix eyes, and his high bridged nose. Complemented with his perfectly smooth and white skin, this was truly a stunning man! Xin Siyue nodded unconsciously as she assessed this persons appearance in her mind. Strangely enough, after she nodded her head, the handsome passerby released a sullen aura, as if wanting to keep her far out of his way. Xin Siyue was confused. Its not like she was trying to get close to him, ah! She simply nodded at him! It was subconscious! Did that stranger misunderstand something? Brother, is he your enemy? Xin Siyue changed the topic to indirectly express her innocence. She really didnt do anything wrong! Upon hearing this, Xin Qiancheng ceased to pull her forward and immediately stopped on his tracks. He turned around to stare at Siyue, then glanced back up at the other guy, but this time with a smile. This was the first time Xin Siyue saw him smile so openly after coming to this world. Suddenly, she felt a little frightened. Why did she have a bad feeling? Unexpectedly, Xin Qiancheng pointed at the handsome man who continued to walk away, then deliberately said in a loud voice, What, you dont know him? Xin Siyue shook her head, Is he someone I know? Satisfied with her answer, Xin Qiancheng grinned once again and said meaningfully, No, you dont know him. Thats just an insignificant person. Chapter 8 - Don’t Mention Her Ch.8 Dont Mention Her Xin Siyue felt that there was something more to this on the surface. Once again, she glanced at the man who stood four or five steps away from her. Is it coincidence, or does it seem like after her overhearing her conversation with her brother, the man resumed his earlier demeanor of business as usual? Was he someone she was supposed to know? Sure enough, after walking ahead a couple of steps with Xin Qiancheng, she heard her brother triumphantly say, Good, I finally got to a good slap on that Chen Sinan today! Why would anyone from our Xin family get along with him! Hes hateful! He doesnt deserve to enter our sights! Rather than pay attention to all his words, a single key word caught Xin Siyues attention: Surnamed Chen? Does that person happen to be Chen Sinan?! Based on his temperament, her guess cant be wrong. Xin Siyue secretly frowned. It seems like the first day of coming to this school wont go smoothly Meanwhile, Chen Sinan entered the Deans office and saw a white haired elder greet him with a smile. Anan, have you met with the Xin family earlier? They left just now. After that, he pointed to the doors direction. I dont know them well. Chen Sinan wasnt surprised at all. The Dean failed to realize that this young mans flat tone was an indirect indication of his displeasure. The elder continued to happily say, I heard that the young daughter of the Xin family had deliberately transferred over to the Art Department to chase after you, but now, she has once again changed her major to learn broadcasting and hosting. I recall that both majors are east and west of your department? That has nothing to do with me. Uncle Zhao, I came here today to talk to you about the project. If you want to continue talking about unimportant things, then I wont be staying. Im simply talking about your family life, why be so serious about it? Alright, whatever you say. Just when this uncle thought the topic was over, Chen Sinan specifically explained, Shes not part of my family and isnt going to be. Uncle Zhao shouldnt bring up this topic later. President Zhaos face blackeneddoes this teenager have to take it so seriously? The news that Xin Siyue changed her major once again immediately spread like wildfire throughout the Department of Fine Arts. After all, back then, she had stirred up the entire college when she officially announced her pursuit towards Chen Sinan. Xin Siyue packed up her things to transfer to her new dormitory. During this time, she became deeply aware that one reason why the villainess died was due to her failure to communicate with those around her. At least while Xin Siyue packed her bags, not one of her three roommates went up to talk to her or lend her a hand. Seeing their attitude towards the villainess, she was simply left speechless. Xin Siyue closed her suitcase, stood up, and noticed the three roommates still standing in place while staring quietly at her. Upon making eye contact, they quickly looked away, pretending to stare off elsewhere or busying themselves with other things. After some thought, Xin Siyue spoke: I want to move to the student dormitory at the West Wing. If there is a chance, then IllC halfway through her sentence, she wanted to say that shell make time to visit them or hang out, but then it might be inappropriate promise such a thing if she likely wont contact them in the future. Indeed, she never imagined that the villainess and her roommates would have such a stiff relationship. Thus, she could only leave with these parting words: Thank you. Goodbye. After Xin Siyue rolled her suitcase out of the dormitory door, she heard a clear voice behind her say: What just happened? Did Xin Siyue actually apologize earlier? Yeah! Why do I feel as if shes broken her head and her whole temperament has changed? Ha ha, if her accident changed her character completely, then she should be grateful to Sister Shi Shi. If it werent for them encircling her, she wouldnt have fallen so badly. Chapter 9 - Change in Temperament Ch.9 Change in Temperament Ha ha, if her accident changed her character completely, then she should be grateful to Sister Shi Shi. If it werent for them encircling her, she wouldnt have fallen so badly. At this time, Xin Siyue had not yet left, and was currently standing outside the rooms entrance. Upon overhearing their conversation, she raised an eyebrow and pondered: Shi Shi? Could it be that someone deliberately pushed the villainess down the stairs before she transmigrated over to this world? Ha ha, when she read this novel back then, nothing like this was mentioned at all. Aside from trying to avoid Chen Sinan, why does it seem like plenty of other troubles are waiting for her? But its better to take ones time. It will never be too late to get back at her enemies, since right now, Xin Siyue had better things to do. In her previous life, she had always dreamed of becoming a TV host after her graduation. Why study teaching and education when she now had the opportunity to start all over again? In addition to her rare advantages this life, Xin Siyue thought: No matter what, since Im given a second chance at life, I should make my dreams come true this time. That way, Ill feel joy and satisfaction in my heart. After moving into her new dormitory, Xin Siyue introduced herself to her new roommates. The beautiful girl with short, yellow hair didnt look at her at all while the other two roommates stared closely at her without a word. Hearing no response, Xin Siyue ended her introductions there. Anyways, she did what she could do, even if other couldnt accept her. This was a consequence left behind by the villainess, and had little to do with herself. So Xin Siyue resumed her routine of studying all day long. Class, another class, then the library. Fortunately, the subjects studied during her sophomore year of class werent too profound in regards to the profession. It wasnt difficult to digest the topics to learn them considering her learning ability. But the numerous people who knew of Xin Siyue were gradually amazed. Why did this sister, who used to hate studying all day while chasing after Chen Sinan, suddenly change her temperament? Xin Siyue was more or less aware that people were scheming things behind her back, but she didnt care. They werent people she knew anyways. That day, when she was on her way back to her dorm after borrowing a book from the library, a college billboard caught her eye. To her horror, she discovered her name up on the announcementChow did her name appear on the list of finalists for the college song and dance competition? Xin Siyue preferred to believe that her eyes were playing tricks on her after being worn out from reading too many books. However, when she approached the board to confirm, she couldnt help but think: Oh no, this piece of news came too fast, ah! That student number, whose else can it be but mine? Xin Siyues face lost all of its life. She didnt know how to dance at all, meaningCshes done for! Upon noticing Xin Siyue stop on her tracks, Mao Shiyue suddenly turned vigilant. He immediately began to consider whether it was better to look ahead as if he didnt notice her, or if he should take out something to cover his face. After all, he was still horrified by her fierce appearance back then when she chased him down six times a day to get Chen Sinans number. But unexpectedly, the girl glanced at the announcement posted on the billboard with a frown, then turned back with a heavy heart. Mao Shiyuan was shocked. Yes he was thinking about escaping at first, but what stunned him on the spot was how the girl walked passed him without even a glance. Her footsteps were light and steady while her brow didnt even wrinkle into a scowl. Its as if the both of them had become complete strangers to each other. Although they were indeed unfamiliar, Mao Shiyuan immediately thought of another question: Did this woman dare to change her routine to grab attention? Dream on! Chen Sinan wont be fooled, even if she did such a wise move! Chapter 10 - Playing Hard to Get? Ch.10 Playing Hard to Get? Oh his way back to his dormitory, Mao Shiyuan felt more and more indignant. Upon entering his room, he suddenly found Chen Sinan, that culprit, who rarely stayed in the dorms. Finally, he opened his mouth and said, You were right to turn down Xin Siyue. Chen Sinan, who was in search of something, suddenly stopped, half bent over, then looked up at him faintly. Mao Shiyuan didnt have to wait for him to reply; he was already satisfied with Chen Sinans expression. Thats right, why should he be interested about that girl? In fact, this was simply Mao Shiyuans self righteous thoughts. Chen Sinans first reaction when hearing the surname Xin was trying to recall which person this roommate was talking about, up until he heard the full name, Xin Siyue. That Xin Siyues schemes are very clever. First of all, she tried to chase me and block my path every day just so she can ask for your specific cell number and address. She would talk to me and smile, then try to flatter me as if Im her savior, but after you showed that you werent interested in her, she simply walked past me like I was air Chen Sinan retracted his gaze and continued to search for a document. What about her? Im not interested at all. But Mao Shiyuan was curious. He leaned over the corner of the table and asked: Do you think Xin Siyue wants to go after me this time? After hearing this assumption, another roommate poured a glass of water on his shorts while scolding: Da Mao**, arent you jumping to conclusions? If Xin Siyue were to chase again after someone, that someone would still be Chen Sinan. So even if she was rejected by him, in conclusion, theres still no place for you at all! (T/N: Da MaoCderogatory nickname for Mao Shiyuan, i cant figure out the meaning) Go! Get out of here! Mao Shiyuan snapped back. What upsets him most is when someone calls him Da Mao. What was so wrong with having Mao as his surname? The more Mao Shiyuan thought of it, the more he couldnt understand. When she left, I looked at the billboard she was staring out and discovered she was staring at the contestant list for the colleges Song and Dance competition. Did she join because she found out that you would be one of the judges that day? Upon hearing this, Chen Sinan straightened up and considered it. If Mao Shiyuan hadnt mentioned this matter, he wouldve completely forgotten his promise to Ji Yin that he would be one of the judges. However, when he thought of Xin Siyue, Chen Sinan suddenly recalled a memory two weeks ago in front of the Deans office, when the girl said that she didnt recognize him at all. Was that true or was she simply acting? Or was this simply her scheme of playing hard to get? Just as he was about to think further in this direction, Chen Sinan decisively cut off this train of thought. Why go through the trouble of thinking of this unimportant person? On one corner, Mao Shiyuan continued to gossip: I heard that Xin Siyue changed her major to broadcast and hosting, which is really far from our department. And since the beginning of this month, she no longer squats in front of our dormitory to bring you breakfast and midnight snacks. If these are signs that she has abandoned you, then you can also assume that Chen Sinan looked at him and slowly said: Is your Chinese at an elementary school level? What? Chen Sinan gave him that look that seems to say Its a waste of my energy to explain it to you, idiot. Mao Shiyuan asked in confusion, Do you have something you wanted to say? The other roommate could no longer stand seeing this so he explained, You fool, he says your language skills are poor because youre misusing the word abandoned. Who is Ah Nan to be abandoned, or is it your turned to be abandoned? (reminder: Ah Nan is Chen Sinans nickname) Based on this roommates perspective, even if Shen Wenyang left him in the past, the two of them never had a definite relationship. One can only say that Shen Wenyang was loved too deeply by Chen Sinan that she had to leave to a faraway country. But how can a man like Chen Sinan be someone abandoned by a woman? As long as he used his inherited handsome looks to stand out, just a fingers movement was needed to attract bees and butterflies. Naturally, someone would end up sticking to him like glue, chasing him everywhere. Chapter 11 - Dropping Out Ch.11 Dropping Out Chen Sinan was too lazy to deal with these two bored roommates. After finding the documents he was searching for, he turned around and asked: After a while, the subsidiary company will be very busy. Before that, what do you think about going to dinner together? Chen Sinan had his own apartment aside from this dorm, so he seldom comes back here for the past year unless something happens at school. Mao Shiyuan also knows that when Chen Sinan gets busy, his whereabouts become elusive, appearing at one moment then disappearing the next. So as soon as he invited them to eat, Mao Shiyuan immediately waved his hand and said, Lets go! Well eat at the most expensive restaurant in the neighborhood! When Xin Siyue returned to her dormitory there was only one person present. Zhong Qin applied a face mask after coming out of the bath. After being here for the past month and a half, most of her roommates still held distant attitudes, but since theyve been together for some time now, they would chat from time to time. In her opinion, it was quite harmonious. Within this room, the most gentle and easy-going person was Zhong Qin, so it was easier to talk to her in private. Upon seeing Xin Siyues sad face when entering, Zhong Qin couldnt help but ask: Whats wrong? Xin Siyue looked at her roommate who wore a face mask and asked: Is it possible to waiver my participation in the college song and dance competition? It should be common for contestants to pull out halfway through a competition. Zhong Qin sat up in surprise, You wont be participating? Since another person from the dorm, Sun Miaomiao, joined the competition, many students paid close attention to the list of contestants. Xin Siyue nodded, I really dont want to participate. Zhong Qin asked in curiosity, Didnt you intentionally join the competition to become famous and grab Chen Sinans attention? When the auditions were held, you even vowed to win the championship! Hehe.is that what happened? Xin Siyue recalled that in the novel, as soon as the female protagonist left abroad, the next two years of the plot were focused mainly on the male lead and the villainess. And what was written were the villainess earth-shaking pursuits after the male lead. In other words, the author is constantly tearing down the villainess IQ while speeding up her impending death. Xin Siyue subconsciously believed that she could avoid a lot of things by claiming amnesia, but she never expected that there was still so much to clean after. Zhong Qin nodded very seriously and affirmed: You really said that. Xin Siyue wearily put her hand over her forehead. She recalled that when the second part of the competition was held, Chen Sinan was also among the judges. That time, the villainess performed a dance while wearing sexy, revealing clothes, and afterwards confessed to the male protagonist on the microphone. What did she say that time? Anyways, what she recalled was that Chen Sinans face darkened on the spot, not daring to even spare a glance on the villainess. He treated it as if she were a monkey playing cheap tricks. Xin Siyue thought to herself: Before the female protagonist returns, Ill just avoid meeting with Chen Sinan. Anyways, by the time the female lead comes back, Chen Sinan will be devoted to his princess while Ill just graduate peacefully. No one will recall any embarrassing moments related to me. So she feigned a helpless expression and replied to Zhong Qin: Actually, Ive lost all of my memories ever since falling down the stairs last time. What? Zhong Qin was stunned. Youve lost your memory? Just when Xin Siyue nodded, the dormitor door opened and Sun Miaomiao walked in wearing an open shouldered dress while exposing her brilliantly white legs. Upon seeing the pair in the room, she didnt mention overhearing their conversation, and instead said: Im in a good mood today, so Ill treat you. Lets go out and have a good time together. Chapter 12 - Sun Miaomiao Ch.12 Sun Miaomiao Xin Siyue actually wanted to refuse this roommates invitation. During her first day at her new dorm, Sun Miaomiaos disdainful gaze left a bad impression on her, which is why she seldom spoke to this roommate. Whats more, Xin Siyue wouldnt speak ill of this girl openly, especially since Sun Miaomiao is the one offering to treat them. Its very likely that shell be coming back again and again to invite them. So troublesome! But she couldnt just refuse. The three young ladies packed up and left their dorms. On their way, Zhong Qin continued to ask: Do you really want to quit the competition? Xin Siyue nodded. She wont go, definitely not! Seeing how firm she was in her decision, Zhong Qin lamented: What a pity, you dance so well! Xin Xiyue felt a tinge of guilt. Thats not her, she cant dance at all! When Sun Miaomiao learned that she was going to withdraw from the competition out of her own initiative, she pretended to be surprised as she said: Siyue, youre going to withdraw? Yeah. Oh, what a pity. Sun Miaomiao added: Are you afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of Chen Sinan? After all, you were rejected so badly after youve chased him for so long. Are you using amnesia as an excuse as a reason to step down this time? For some reason, Xin Siyue felt that Sun Miaomiaos last words were spoken quite harshly. As soon as she turned to ask her what she meant by that, Xin Siyue immediately noticed a young man at three oclock from her direction, with his head bowed down slightly. Who could it be other than Chen Sinan? Xin Siyues eyes stopped for a moment on Sun Miaomiao, who was staring at Chen Sinan, and then back on that devil again for another second. Finally she reactedC Im outta here! Sh*t! Is it too late for me to leave now? Xin Siyues scalp went numb. She really didnt want to see Chen Sinan now of all times! Although he had all the virtues that an excellent male protagonist would have in a romance novel, Chen Sinan had one of the most undesirable faultsCall his good qualities were only in favor of the female protagonist! No matter how rich, good-looking, capable, or attractive and dedicated he was, just that one fault of his can become a fatal wound. She will only get hurt if she falls in love with him, so she mustnt fall for him at all costs! Moreover, she knew of Chen Sinans ruthlessness. When the villainess knelt on the ground and cried for mercy, asking him to let her family go, he arrogantly stared back at her without a word. Xin Siyue valued life much more than money. Now that the Xin family was on the right track, she had no desire to head towards the villainess tragic ending all because of a love that would never be real. She didnt want the surname Chen at all. As she pondered, she couldnt help but look meaningfully at Sun Miaomiao. There were so many characters who ended up in accidents for liking the male protagonist. Since the villainess in the novel never switched to a broadcast and hosting major, naturally, Sun Miaomiao was never mentioned. But who wouldve guessed shed appear at this time, trying to vie for peoples attention. Xin Siyue inwardly rolled her eyes. Hey, cant we just have a good time hanging out? Upon noticing Xin Siyues complicated expression, Sun Miaomiao smiled brightly and said: Xin Siyue, what a coincidence, Chen Sinan is also there. Dont you want to go and talk to him? Xin Siyue raised an eyebrow and quietly stared back at her. Instead of rushing to answer, she asked the waiter who happened to come to their side: May I know if theres a vacancy upstairs? The waiter answered: Im sorry but its full upstairs. Would the three of you like to come this way instead? Xin Siyue found that the direction he pointed to was just behind where Chen Sinan and his group were seated. She remained on the spot, frowning. Sun Miaomiao had already stepped forward and walked past, her waist and legs swaying seductively. Xin Siyue knew this woman wouldnt stop! While she was dragged to the table by Zhong Qin, she bitterly scolded in her heart: Surname Sun, if you invite me to eat out again, Id rather write my name Xin Siyue upside down! Chapter 13 - Embarrassment Ch.13 Embarrassment Mao Shiyuan, who was talking to a roommate, subconsciously glanced up at Chen Sinan after hearing the female voices behind him discuss. Just then, the name Chen Sinan was clearly heard. Mao Shiyuan wanted to see if Chen Sinans expression dimmed or showed anything unusual, but the man was so calm that he didnt even stop to pick up his chopsticks. Mao Shiyuan sighed in his heart: This guys on a totally different level than the rest! While in thought, a soft voice resounded: Student, are you eating here too? What a coincidence. Chen Sinan didnt reply at all. Sun Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed. She seldom summoned up the courage to talk to Chen Sinan, which is why she borrowed Xin Siyues presence. This mans attitude towards Xin Siyue was obvious to everyone here. Her plan was that, even if Chen Sinan ignores her, Xin Siyue definitely wouldnt miss the opportunity to get his attention. As long as this scene continues, Sun Miaomiao wont appear so bad when standing next to someone like Xin Siyue. But after standing here for several seconds, Xin Siyue still remained unresponsive! Sun Miaomiao began to lose her composure, so she hurriedly looked towards Xin Siyue. Mao Shiyuan and his roommates were in a good mood while waiting to see this drama develop. They also noticed where Sun Miaomiao was looking and found that Xin Siyue, who wore a light beige dress, particularly stood out among the two other girls who were approaching. The color of her plain dress complimented her next and her arms, while her hair, which had been dyed black some time ago, was simply tied up in a ponytail, making her appear more refreshing and comfortable. She had no makeup on her face, but she appeared more beautiful than before when she used to apply heavy makeup. Especially those big eyes filled with spirit, and those long black lashes that fluttered. When Mao Shiyuan spotted her last time, he was so anxious to hide that he didnt pay attention to her appearance. After not seeing her for a month, he only realized now that she seemed to have changed as a person. After two more glances, he immediately turned to Chen Sinan, who, to his disappointment, simply acted like an outsider who had nothing to do with any of this. Mao Shiyuan really felt like beating this guy up. Noticing the gawking stares from the two other boys who shared Chen Sinans table, Xin Siyue examined them openly as well, trying to figure out who they were. After pondering about it for a while, Xin Siyue still couldnt recall their names or background. Well, since these were guys who hung out with Chen Sinan, its better to avoid them. When Zhong Qin saw the Sun Miaomiao had no intentions to withdraw, she kindly went up beside her and asked: Are we sitting over there? Sun Miaomiao replied: Yes, sister, Ill go first. Chen Sinan didnt even raise his eyelids. Instead, Mao Shiyuan politely said: Go head. Sun Miaomiaos face blushed with unspeakable embarrassment. Xin Siyue unintentionally lifted the corners of her lips and laughed silently to herself: Haha, serves you right! Chen Sinan was someone she knew bestChe wont look upon any woman except the female protagonist, not to mention those young girls at school who would spend all day in shopping malls, strong women who flaunted their fashion, or those wealthy and gentle sisters. Not one of them can afford this man. Chen Sinan can be described as someone who valued cleanliness. He hates it when girls pester him, touch his belongings, or have physical contact with him. Of course, the female protagonist is naturally excluded from this list. Knowing that Sun Miaomiao was trying to get a response from Chen Sinans attractive eyes, Xin Siyue inwardly rolled her eyes. Hoping for that is simply an idiots dream! Chapter 14 - What Game Are You Playing? Ch.14 What Game Are You Playing? Seeing someone else take the villainess route really is enjoyable, ah! Xin Siyue was in a good mood watching all of this from the sidelines. As she passed the protagonists dinner table, she unconsciously quickened her pace, looking forward to leaving them. But contrary to her wishes, there are just some people who wont let her off the hook. In this case, it was a side character who didnt like being looked down on. When Mao Shiyuan saw that the other party was about to leave, he deliberately shouted to Xin Siyue, Sister Xin, why are you going so fast? Arent you going to say hello to your savior? Sister Xin? Xin Siyue turned around and doubtfully stared at the boy who just spoke. Although he looked fit and had a handsome face, somehow, the smile on his face seemed a little unkind. After at him several times, the boys identity still didnt come to mind, so she pretended to ask innocently: Were you calling for me? Who else has the surname Xin here except you? Xin Siyue secretly gritted her teeth. Who wants to talk with you? Oh. After a faint reply, she was about to turn away. Mao Shiyuan stopped her again: Your male god is here, but youre not even going to greet him? Subconsciously, Xin Siyue felt like looking back at the male protagonist, but reason prevented her from doing so. Although she was only three steps away from Chen Sinan, she could still feel the fierce aura that emanated from him. Xin Siyue tried to smile in a relaxed manner and said, Sorry classmate, but I dont know who you are. You dont know me? Mao Shiyuan was surprised. Xin Siyue nodded calmly. He asked in disbelief: What game are you playing now? Sorry, I really dont know you. What about him? Mao Shiyuan pointed to Chen Sinan who had been quiet all this time while staring at her strangely. Xin Siyue glanced at Chen Sinan then immediately looked away as she replied: No, I dont recognize him. Before the other party could reply, she continued to say: Excuse me, classmate, but were going to order dinner now. Afterwards, she dragged Zhong Qin and hurriedly walked away while completely ignoring Zhong Qin. Just two steps later, she felt a chilly gaze piercing at her direction, causing her to look back subconsciously. Just then, she caught Chen Sinans gaze. Those handsome eyes narrowed as the man stared at her indifferently. Caught off guard, Xin Siyue was stunned as she saw her figure reflected in those deep, dark eyes. What the hell! Its a foul to have such beautiful eyes! As her pace slowed down, she noticed that his lips curved slightly upwards with a hint of ridicule. She immediately retracted her gaze and turned away. Damn it! Sh*t! Ive been cheated, that Chen Sinan did it on purpose! It was if he was making fun of her for having bad acting skills That day, she wasnt lying at all that day when she told Xin Qiancheng that she didnt recognize the passerby. Who wouldve guessed that the passerby was Chen Sinan himself! Fortunately, no one seemed to notice the momentary eye contact they just had. Xin Siyue felt slightly relieved. Zhong Qin took her arm and asked again: Siyue, did you really lose your memory after hurting your head last time? She nodded and replied: Well, I dont recall anything before that event. Zhong Qin looked at her sadly before secretly glancing at that expressionless Chen Sinan. She sighed: What a pity. Overhearing their conversation, Sun Miaomiao walked past them and whispered disdainfully: Only ghosts will believe that. Mao Shiyuan was also surprised. He leaned towards Chen Sinan and asked: Has Xin Siyue really lost her memory? If she has, then that would explain her weird behavior today! Chen Sinan snorted with disdain and was too lazy to answer his room mates question. He didnt believe that she had lost her memories at all! That look of hers was clearly a dodging one, but he wasnt interested in it at all. Amnesia as an excuse was just right; it would save him the trouble of entangling with her. Chapter 15 - Waste of Kindness Ch.15 Waste of Kindness Mao Shiyuan was upset. So she doesnt love you anymore now that shes lost her memory? That girl changes easily. Hah, looks like we wont be having anymore free breakfasts or lunches in the future. Oh yeah, that soup! The more I think about it, the worse I feel Chen Sinan slowly replied, If you like her, then man up and chase her. Mao Shiyuan repeatedly waved his hand and replied, No, never mind! Forget it! Who in town doesnt know how troublesome the eldest daughter of the Xin family is. Its difficult to talk to her, even if you talk with reason. Everyone around the table ate heartily except for Chen Sinan. Of course, they were deeply curious about the relationship between Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan, and why Sun Miaomiao seemed to hate Xin Siyue. From time to time, Xin Siyue would glance fiercely at Chen Sinans back in irritation as she ate one bite after another. Since she really wanted to throw him down, perhaps she should go ahead and do it. Xin Siyue sighed. After some thought, she concluded that Chen Sinan was truly a source of disaster, since this whole time, everyones only been talking about this femme fatale! It wasnt easy to pass through Chen Sinans group to reach the cashier counter. Once she got the chance, Sun Miaomiao immediately stood up and said, Im going to pay first. Meanwhile, Xin Siyue, who had just returned from the restroom, paused as she wiped her hands dry. The corner of her mouth twitchedC Have I made a mistake? Im sure I just paid the bill before I went to the restroom! Just when Xin Siyue was about to tell Sun Miaomiao this unfortunate news, she froze on the spot. If she stopped Sun Miaomiao, who was approaching Chen Sinans group, wouldnt this cause this girls grudge towards her to swell up? Xin Siyue stood on the spot as she watched Sun Miaomiao approach the cashier counter. On the way, the girl stopped by Chen Sinans table, and with a shy blush, asked him if he had paid his bill yet. However, the young man didnt reply. When Sun Miaomiao finally got to the cashier, she found out that their bill was already paid. The girl turned around and stared at Xin Siyue in surprise. Of course, Xin Siyue didnt fail to notice the spark of fire in the girls eyes. Yeah, it looks like my kind deed turned into something bad. Xin Siyue hurried back to her seat then bent over to check her phone. When Mao Shiyuan overheard that the other groups bill was already paid, he raised his head to peek at Xin Siyue. Then, he heard Sun Miaomiao explain weakly, Haha, thats just the kind of person Siyue is, someone who likes to brag about her wealthy family. Before coming here, I definitely said that I was the one treating this time. As if none of this had anything to do with him, Chen Sinan glanced up at Sun Miaomiao, his eyes containing unhidden displeasure. Sun Miaomiao realized that she would annoy the young man if she lingered, so she hurriedly excused herself and returned to her seat. However, from that time onwards, she didnt glance once at Xin Siyue or talk to her. Xin Si Yue shrugged. She didnt care anyway. As Mao Shiyuan walked out of the dining room, he couldnt help but ask: Is it me or has Xin Siyue changed a lot? His roommate agreed. I think so too. Mao Shi Yuan nodded. I can feel shes changed. Shes less annoying now though. His roommate commented: Actually, even before, I didnt think she was hateful at all. Although she was very straightforward when chasing after a guy, I like a girl whos as frank as her. When it comes to people, its better to be with someone frank rather than with a person who has a hidden agenda, unlike that roommate of hers who obviously wanted to lay a trap for others when she was actually just acting like an innocent white lotus. Mao Shiyuan, who shared the same opinion, was about to reply when Chen Sinan suddenly interrupted: Are you all so bored that you have to gossip behind someones back? Although it was a question, it put an end to Mao Shiyuans and the groups discussion. Right, they all knew that Chen Sinan hated it most when they talked about Xin Siyue. The person who had crazily chased after him from childhood til now, and the girl who brought him endless trouble and complications was none other than Xin Siyue. Chapter 16 - Ji Yi Ch.16 Ji Yi Xin Siyue didnt bother mind her encounter with Chen Sinan that day since right after returning, her first priority was to quickly find the person in charge of the dancing and singing competition. She needed to forfeit as soon as possible. Apparently, the Student Council was in charge of holding this contest. President Ji Yi was a third-year university student who coincidentally studied in the same field as Chen Sinan. Upon hearing her desire to forfeit, President Ji Yis face wrinkled in confusion. Sister Xin, everythings been going well up to now. Why do you want to forfeit? Xin Siyue looked back at his perplexed eyes and gave a vague answer: Ive been busy these days so theres no time for me to participate. Ji Yi didnt plan to let her off just yet. I still remember when you boldly stated that you were going to claim first prize. Haha, Xin Siyue smiled, not wanting to explain any further. Anyways, I dont want to join this contest anymore. Im here to talk to the one in charge of this competition. Even if you dont agree, I have no choice. Then, just as she was about to walk away, she heard Ji Yi comment: Turns out Sister Xins isnt the kind of person who keeps her promises. Xin Siyue kept silent as she thought to herself privately: No matter, its not like I was the one who promised. When Ji Yi saw no reaction from her, he had to use Chen Sinans name. Are you afraid that you would embarrass yourself in front of Senior Chen if you encounter him during the competition? Its none of your business. Ji Yi was even more interested in the topic. Isnt it true that you love Senior Chen so much that you would hover between life and death for him? Why would you give up after just one year of chasing him? XIn Siyue couldnt help but roll her eyes as she thought to herself: In more than a year, even a cold stone shouldve warmed up under the sun. (T/N: Chen Sinans heart is still stone cold even after a year of pursuitnothings changed) She replied lazily, Its because Ive already stopped by the edge of the abyss, and now Ive turned around and made my way back to the shore. Didnt you say that I loved him so much that I even hovered between life and death? Ive already died once. If I still dont change my mind, wouldnt it be no different from seeking death one more time? Ji Yi was choked by her words. He didnt know how to retort. Although he had many chances to speak to Xin Siyue, he had never heard that she was a person with a sharp tongue! Ji Yi squinted and observed her for a while before continuing, Even if you change yourself for Senior Chens sake, he still wont pay attention to you. Senior Sister Shen was such a perfect school girl, but she only received bits of Senior Chens appreciation. She never even got to earn the official title as his girlfriend. But looking at your sincere face that shows no desire, it shows that you know when to withdraw when facing difficulty. If you happen to win Senior Chens heart, Ill admire you sincerely. Xin Siyues lips twitched in annoyance as she replied, Thanks for the reminder. The heck! Its the first time that weve met and yet youre acting as if you know my mind! We obviously had no interaction before! Ji Yi appeared several times in the novel, but after the supporting female character left the campus, this man wont have any roles left, right? Xin Siyue looked down on shameless people like him. She clearly said she wanted to forfeit, and yet this man was so bored that he went after her at the library and at her dorm, just so he could convince her again and again to join the competition. After Xin Siyue left the library, she headed straight for the cafeteria, while Ji Yi chased after her. Just when she got in line to get her meal, Ji Yi stuck beside her like a minion, trying to brainwash her to join. Just take part in the contest. Youll have a chance to see Senior Chen! You know, I even spent a lot of time to persuade him to be a judge at the competition. That has nothing to do with me. It wont be any fun if you dont join. Upon hearing this, Xin Siyue gave him a sarcastic smile. Youre wasting time persuading me to join just so you can add oil to the flames and catch more attention? In this university, she was infamous for persistently chasing after Chen Sinan. Moreover, Senior Chen will be at the competition, so more people will be coming to watch the fun. And those girls who had crushes on this male god, but were too shy to voice out their feelings, will be using Xin Siyue to probe Chen Sinans mind. No matter what, watching the contest will only bring them more benefits than harm. Chapter 17 - Four MC Queens Ch.17 Four MC Queens After Xin Siyue considered this possibility, she knew that Ji Yi didnt simply become the Student President for no reason. Ji Yi smiled and said, Anyways, theres nothing for you to lose. Ill at least put in a good word for you in front of Senior Chen. Xin Siyue let out a quiet chuckle. Thank you, but no need. She thought to herself: You think you can speak such words in front of Chen Sinan? You think too highly of yourself! Afterwards, she no longer paid him any attention. Although Ji Yi still wanted to bother her, he was summoned by a phone call. No longer having that annoying voice by her ears, Xin Siyue was quite satisfied. Yes, she could finally have her meal in peace. Not far from her, Mao Shiyuans chopsticks paused in midair as he pensively observed Xin Siyue from afar. He took out his phone and texted Chen Sinan: I heard that kid Ji Yi has been close to Xin Siyue lately. Is it true that she shifted her attention to Ji Yi since she knows that it wont work out with you? Several minutes passed, and he still didnt receive any reply. Mao Shiyuan sent another text message: I heard many people say that these two have been hanging out together recently. Is it true? Since Chen Sinan was at a meeting, he wasnt able to see this text. It wasnt until he finished work and left the dinner party that he received a phone call from Ji Yi on his way back. The student council President wanted to confirm the time of the contest for next week. Chen Sinan had already agreed to join as a judge, so he simply answered with a curt yes before asking his assistant to cancel his schedule that night. Since the other party still hadnt hung up, Chen Sinan asked: What else? Ji Yi gave a dry laugh and responded, Senior Chen, how are you and Xin Siyue doing these days? Chen Sinans brow twitched slightly. Why ask? Just tell me what it is you want. Ji Yi answered directly: Xin Siyue said that since youll be participating that night, she wont join the semi-finals, no matter how hard Ive tried to persuade her. I really want her to dance, but since she refuses to, theres nothing I can do. Its good that shes happy. She told me that she doesnt want to be involved in anything related to you. Senior Chen, what happened between the two of you? Chen Sinan grinned as he leaned against his seat. He replied indifferently, Its good that she knows herself well. He hung up immediately afterwards, no longer wanting to continue this conversation with Ji Yi. Meanwhile, a classmate who overheard their phone conversation, asked in surprise: Whats your purpose in telling Senior Chen these things? Ji Yi waved his hand and explained, You dont understand! If Chen Sinan isnt interested in Xin Siyue, it would be for the better, right? Moreover, if what Xin Siyue says is true, then Im helping her indirectly, right? This is the most suitable method to get the two of them to hate each other. Ji Yi pondered the issue more seriously. Senior Chen was like a son of heaven. How can an aloof school girl like Xin Siyue possibly get her finger in this peace of pie? If Xin Siyue knew of his thoughts right know, she wouldve scoffed and said: Are all people in this novel crazy?! After Chen Sinan hung up, he read over Mao Shiyuans texts before dragging his number into his blacklist. A week passed quickly. Soon, the night of the semi-finals had arrived. Xin Siyue wasnt planning on going to the venue, even though Zhong Qin told her that the semi-finals would be as big an event as the Lunar New Years evening party. Since two of the Four MC Queens of the university would be the MCs for this round. Tonight will be their last time working together before they will graduate. (T/N: the term MC refers to the host of the program, a.k.a master of ceremonies or mic controller) Xin Siyue once heard about the Four MC Queens of the school. However, one was studying abroad, another has joined a TV station ahead of schedule, while the remaining two wanted to participate in this competition before graduating. However, Xin Siyue was really curious: Why did the two sisters agree to be MCs for this semi-final round? In theory, it was amazing luck that these well known MCs were both successfully invited for the final round. Chapter 18 - Neighbors Ch.18 Neighbors Zhong Qin looked at her in disbelief and said, Either you really dont understand or youre pretending that you dont understand. Xin Siyue was confused. Zhong Qin explained, Naturally because of Chen Sinan! Many people have guessed that this will be the last school activity hell be attending here. Which means this is the last time theyll see him here! Xin Siyue blinked in surprise. She muttered to herself: How can that be? When the female protagonist returns, hell return to school and give lectures so he can help her fulfil her dream. What were you saying? Nothing, I was just wondering whether I should go or not. Stop thinking, just go! Its a rare chance to see those two seniors on the same stage! Such a good opportunity, we wouldnt have a second chance to see this again! After being convinced, Xin Siyue followed Zhong Qin to the hall. The contest would start in ten minutes and the venue was already packed full of people. Zhong Qin had to push and squeeze to get two seats in the back. It wasnt even two minutes of being seated that Ji Yi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and waved to Xin Siyue while screaming, See, youre here! Xin Siyue threw him a quiet glance, indicating that she didnt want to talk to him. Come on, Ill take you to the front seats. While Xin Siyue still thought of it, Zong Qin jolted up and replied, Thank you, President! Siyue, lets go. Xin Siyue: The moment Xin Siyue was seated on the second row, she couldnt help but feel nervous. So it turns out that they moved several rows ahead their previous ones? She wanted to run away. The first two rows were actually the places where the teachers and judges were seated. However, Zhong Qin was so excited that she pulled her head and said, Siyue, Ive never been treated so well when watching any competition! So its true that theres a lot of good perks when going with you! Haha. Just when Xin Siyue was about to retort, a phone call interrupted her. The music in the hall was getting so loud that she had to walk out to receive the call. It was her mother, Bai Ning, calling to ask her why she didnt come home that night. Home? Xin Siyue was perplexed. You come home every Friday night, dont you? Then, Bai Ning said in realization, Oh, I forgot that youve lost your memory. Hehe. Xin Siyue didnt know what to say. Bai Ning went on to say: Then you should come home early tonight. I cooked you some soup. If it cools down by the time youre home, remember to heat it up before eating. After hanging up, Xin Siyue searched her memories and recalled that the villainess had her own apartment, one that was right next to Chen Sinans. Previously, the villainess spent plenty of effort and even did the despicable deed of stalking the male protagonist to find out his address, which wasnt far from school. Afterwards, she bribed Chen Sinans neighbors with a large sum of money so they could leave the apartment. She used this opportunity to move in next door and try win the male gods favor. Sigh, Xin Siyue wanted to die! Its quite pitiful that the villainess still didnt win his heart even after putting in so much effort. This was the fate of a villainess that would never change! While Xin Siyue was deep in thought of how to solve the housing issue, she failed to pay attention to the direction she walked in. Right when she turned around, she bumped into a broad chest. A refreshing, tender masculine scent entered her nose. Xin Siyue still had her cellphone in one hand. Baffled, she stared straight at a shirt that was unbuttoned at the collar, unable to pull her eyes away from that refined, faintly discernible collarbonedang! That white shirt looks so tempting! A thought popped up in Xin Siyues headC I really want to trace my hands from that chest to those broad shoulders! Is that too perverted? If I act like a hooligan, will there be serious consequences? The two maintained a close but ambiguous position for several seconds until the other party couldnt stand it any longer. He opened his mouth and spoke coldly: How long do you plan on sticking to me like this? Chapter 19 - Near Death Ch.19 Near Death The man finally couldnt help it. He said coldly: How long do you plan on sticking to me like this? Such a cold voice? Xin Siyue had a bad hunch. She was hesitant at first, but when she finally raised her head to look up at the mans face, there was a loud thump sound and a sharp pain pierced her forehead. Then she heard a clear voice exclaim: Hey! Xin Siyue was in such pain at their collision. She reached out and rubbed her aching forehead, feeling a little dizzy. The next second, she noticed Chen Sinans handsome face looking down at her with a dark expression. She pushed him aside in fright and backed away several steps. However, she forgot that behind her was the top of a staircase, the very place where she made her phone call earlier while leaning against the railings. Now that she had backed away several steps, her right foot suddenly found no floor to step on and she inevitably lost her balance. Xin Siyue instinctively reached out and grabbed the last saving straw, which regretfully, was the sleeve of Chen Sinans black suit. As she tightly held on to the sleeve for dear life, Chen Sinans expression was as cold as ice. Just as Xin Siyue thought that she was going to fall on her back, the embarrassing event she imagined didnt happen, because Chen Sinan unexpectedly went forward several steps to hold her waist, saving her before she falls further. The frightened Xin Siyue was now in his arms. She grasped his right arm tightly while the other hand pulled at his clothes. She breathed heavily in his embrace, and her legs seemed to have lost its strength. Once again, she experienced a near death experience, and the feeling of helplessness and terror of falling down the stairs was horrifying. Earlier, Chen Sinan was attending a dinner party, but he ended up coming here. Although he had rolled up his sleeves, the more than 30 degrees weather here made him feel hot and irritable. But at this moment, the slight fruity fragrance from the woman in his arms, along with the cold touch of her fingertips gave him a rare and pleasant sensation. Chen Sinan frowned. He loosened his arms around her slender waist and legs, straightened up, and said in a cold voice, Isnt that enough? Huh? Xin Siyue looked up at him. Chen Sinan stepped back this time, as if trying to avoid something poisonous. His jaw still ached from their collision earlier. But when he glanced down at her after losing patience, he suddenly noticed her pair of moist eyes. Her lashes were long and her eyes teary, and underneath the light, those pair of eyes seemed amazingly bright. It was rare for Chen Sinan to feel surprised. Xin Siyue blinked while feeling mad that she teared up! If it wasnt for him, she never wouldve gotten so frightened that she almost fell down the stairs! But what she didnt know was that her unconscious act of blinking made the onlooker feel as if she looked pitiful. Chen Sinan frowned slightly at the idea. Xin Siyue immediately came to her senses. Knowing that the man hated her, she quickly pulled back her hand that rested on his arm, and without saying a word, left straight towards the auditorium. She wanted to explain, but reason tells her not to try to explain things to him, lest Chen Sinan misunderstand. Chen Sinan, who had been standing in place for a time, finally moved and made his way to the auditorium while thinking to himself: After I said so many things to her, all she replied was a simple um? Well then, is it really her new goal to avoid me as if Im a snake? While thinking of this, Chen Sinans gaze deepened as he stared at her slim figure in the distance. Chapter 20 - Reserved Seat Ch.20 Reserved Seat Xin Siyue wore a light blue jacket with a matching blue denim skirt tonight. Since she took good care of herself, her figure was curvaceous. As the girl sat down, Chen Sinan noticed her unintentionally glance up at him before immediately turning her head away in disgust. Chen Sinans appearance in the auditorium had already caused quite a sensation in the crowds. When Ji Yi invited other people to sit at the judges seats, unfortunately, there was only one remaining seat in the middle. Chen Sinan looked at the seat, then glanced sideways at Ji Yi. Ji Yi smiled and explained: I reserved the seat for Senior Chen! If not, Im afraid you wouldnt have come. Chen Sinan whispered ah, making it unclear whether he was satisfied or not. After he was seated, Xin Siyue, who had been playing with her cellphone with her head down, suddenly looked up at Ji Yi with a fierce glare. Ji Yi happily responded with a Youll have to thank me expression on his face. Xin Siyue gritted her teeth as she thought: Sure enough, theres no free lunch in this world! This Ji Yi did it all on purpose! Otherwise, why would he have Chen Sinan sit right in front of her! Even several bored people in the room began to notice the subtle situation. Zhong Qin tugged Xin Siyues sleeves and whispered in her ear: Why is Senior Chens seat right in front of you? Xin Siyue was unhappy with her question, but she still controlled her tone as she replied: How do I know? That bastard definitely set this up. When Zhong noticed her dissatisfied look, she hurriedly said, But President Ji probably just wants to help you get closer to Senior Chen. Hes given you a rare opportunity! Upon hearing their conversation, Chen Sinan, who sat upfront, lifted the corner of his lips and smirked. Hmph, who cares! Chen Sinan had little interest in these competitions. Since the program hasnt started yet, he looked through his mailbox to check the documents sent over by his assistant. Occasionally however, he would look up when hearing that slightly dissatisfied female voice that resounded clearly from behind him. Haha, women are very fickle. They would spout all kinds of flattery and admiration while pursuing someone, but once they have new goal, the former is easily abandoned. Chen Sinan silently labeled her as someone who liked to play with peoples feelings. Xin Siyue automatically blocked out the contents of the audiences whispers behind her, including their worship and love for Chen Sinan, their gossip of her crazy pursuits, and the strange coincidence that both their seats were this close to each other. At the start of the program, Xin Siyue tried to focus her attention on the two MCs. Um, their clothes were well chosen. The two of them also seem very generous and the occasion is handled in a very coherent and responsive manner. Also, they skillfully delivered their lines and properly grasped the emotions with their words. The two sisters also cooperated very well with each other. After watching most of the program, Xin Siyue felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge. But the person in front of her had to go out and answer his phone from time to time, which made her feel irritated. Every time Chen Sinan stood up, a little disturbance would happen all around them, and the name Chen Sinan would be mentioned by people hundreds of times. After who knows how many times the man had returned to his seat, Xin Siyues mood finally flared up. She impulsively complained as he sat down: Classmate, can you please keep a low profile? Chapter 21 - Wrong Medicine Ch.21 Wrong Medicine After who knows how many times the man had returned to his seat, Xin Siyues mood finally flared up. She impulsively complained as he sat down: Classmate, can you please keep a low profile? Xin Siyue felt as if her brain had malfunctioned! But she was glad that she didnt say it loudly, which means the other guy shouldnt have heard it. Even if he did hear, based on the script, he would surely continue to ignore her. But to her surprise, Chen Sinan turned around and looked at her. With that meaningful, cold glare of his Xin Siyue felt herself tremble unconsciouslyC Im finished! Sure enough, Chen Sinan, who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine tonight, retorted back at her lightly and said, Dont you set an example yourself on keeping a low profile? WTF! Xin Siyues mind was in a frenzy: Why is he talking to me? Does Chen Sinan have the wrong soul in him too? What do I do, what do I do? While her mind was stuck on this issue, Chen Sinan glanced at her lightly, seemingly indifferent to her response. He turned around and stared straight at the show ahead. And Xin Siyue, who remained seated, silently looked at the male protagonists back and thought: Ah seriously! Even the guys back looks so tempting, theres definitely something wrong with me! Likewise, all of the gossipers present were losing their minds at that same moment! Chen Sinan had walked in together with Xin Siyue earlier, and even their seats were right in front of the other. Not only that, the male god turned around and talked to her! Whats going on between the two of them! Was Chen Sinan really seduced by that Xin Siyue? Thats terrible! This time, neither the audience nor contestants were feeling calm. It wasnt easy to wait until the end of the program. After the MCs announced the results of the competition, the event wrapped up without a hitch and Chen Sinan stood up and shook hands with several of the school leaders. Xin Siyue didnt get up to see him, and of course, the main reason was to avoid suspicion. However, Xin Siyue clearly heard the principal respectfully call him: CEO Chen. Upon hearing such a respectful address, she couldnt help but think, do they really have to be so businesslike? Chen Sinan soon left the auditorium. Naturally, Zhong Qin didnt want to linger here any longer so she planned to go back to the dormitory. Meanwhile, Xin Siyue recalled that her mother, Bai Ning, left soup back at her apartment. She still had to go back, so she said her goodbyes to Zhong Qin before leaving. Zhong Qin looked at her and said teasingly, Siyue, weve known each other for so long and weve also shared the same dorm for a while now. Then tell me, how far have you and Mr. Shen progressed? Huh? Xin Siyue didnt understand. Zhong Qin smiled and explained: Dont think that we have no clue. Just now, I saw Senior Chen turn around and talk to you deliberately! Xin Siyue calmed down. Hes justC Just what? Before thinking more about what to reply, Xin Siyue simply threw a sentence: He just forgot to take the right medicine today. After catching Zhong Qin off guard, Xin Siyue took this opportunity to slip away. Students who love gossip are really hard to deal with! As the crowd of students went to the front of the school gate, Xin Siyue also followed along while feeling confused. Where was her apartment located again? As she stood by the school gate, she carefully tried to recall where the male protagonist resided, but with someone as rich as him, there were several places to choose from to live alone. Xin Siyue didnt have the habit of memorizing a persons exact address. Since she simply glanced at it while reading the novel, nothing came to mind, even as she racked her brains. With no other choice, she sent a message to Xin Qiancheng, asking him to send a specific address. Xin Qiancheng was speechless. If his sister was this silly, how can he possibly save her in the future? Chapter 22 - Apartment (1) Ch.22 Apartment (1) Xin Siyue took a taxi to go to her so-called apartment. When she arrived at her destination, she looked up at the grand gate of her apartment complex and had a moments hesitation. Did they have to design it so luxuriously? She stiffly went up the stairs step by step, thoroughly feeling like a country bumpkin ever since arriving in this world. Only then did she realize that she needed more time to adapt to the fact that she was now a local wealthy heiress. For half-an-hour, Xin Siyue strolled around the compound while enjoying the magnificent view. A serious question suddenly came to mindCshe had asked Xin Qiancheng what the address for her apartment was, but she forgot to inquire as well about her specific apartment unit and room number. Just as she took out her cell phone to trouble her brother once more, a slender and handsome figure caught her attention. The sleeves of the young mans long-sleeve shirt was pulled up and his suit coat was folded up and slung on his arms. Haha, its Chen Sinan once again. Xin Siyue was about to turn around and hide, but just when she turned, another question came to mind: if she secretly followed after the male protagonist, wouldnt she be able to find her apartment? She clearly recalled that Xin Siyues apartment was next door to Chen Sinans. Following him would save her time trying to look around, because she had discovered that this apartment complex was quite large! After some consideration, she stealthily followed after Chen Sinan. Although she tried to make her footsteps very light and did her best not to get close to him, she was suddenly caught while only being less than 200 meters away from him. Chen Sinans gaze was cold and fierce, the warning message in his eyes obvious. Xin Siyue was frightened by the terrible look in his eyes. She unconsciously shook off the feeling and comforted herself, thinking, What are you afraid of? Its not like I wronged him! With that in mind, she dared to reply: What are you looking at? Oh. Chen Sinan sounded as if he heard a ridiculous joke. Dont you think you should ask yourself that question? Its that tone again! It was that exact same tone he used in the auditorium, one filled with undisguised sarcasm. Xin Siyue looked straight at him and said in a small voice: I wasnt looking at you. He laughed at her words. Xin Siyue muttered under her breath: Crazy! She went forward two steps, but then recalling that she had no idea where her apartment was, she stopped in her tracks once again. Noticing her hesitation, Chen Sinan folded his arms across his chest and glanced at her lazily, his eyes filled with pride and ridicule. Xin Siyue glared at him, then decisively walked past him. She took out her cell phone and called Xin Qiancheng. Brother, what apartment number do I live in? When Chen Sinan heard her voice gradually fading into the distance, he unconsciously raised a brow. She doesnt even know where she lives, so does that mean she really lost her memory? He considered this even more when he saw how Xin Siyue kept trying to unlock her apartment door with several different keys. Unexpectedly, he felt like laughing: Rather than amnesia, hasnt this girl gone stupid? Chen Sinan picked up an important phone call halfway through, so he stopped in place and wasted a lot of time answering the call. Afterwards, he took the elevator and made his way back to his apartment. When he got there, he saw that tiny figure half bent over while foolishly trying to open the door with one key after the other. The girl cursed under her breath: How can there be so many keys! Ugh, this isnt the one either! Chapter 23 - Apartment (2) Ch.23 Apartment (2) Chen Sinan stood not too far behind, listening to the crisp sound of keys colliding. After a while, the door still showed no sign of opening. Suddenly, he couldnt stand witnessing her lack of IQ. After Xin Siyue tried several keys without success, she muttered in frustration, No way, I obviously collected all of Xin Siyues keys. How come none of these are right? Was there something I missed? She was unable to find any solutions. As soon as she turned around, she saw Chen Sinan quietly standing behind her for who knows how long. She thought that he wouldve reached his own apartment earlier than she did, since it took her a long time of circling before finding this spot after all. Without glancing at her, he went straight to the front door of his own apartment, took out his key, then unlocked it. When he opened his lock, Xin Siyue stared straight at the mans hand, waiting for him to pull out his key so that she could see what it looked like. She needed a reference so she can have an idea of the apartments key design. Whats annoying is that Chen Sinan seemed aware of her thoughts. He opened his door and pushed it straight in, then pulled his key out quickly before closing the door. Xin Siyue glared at that spot with bitter resentment, but half a second later, she recalled that a high-end looking key with a red string tied to it was hidden under her pillow in her dorm. Now that she remembered, she hurriedly traveled back to her dormitory to grab the keys. Sure enough, when she tried this on her apartment door, just a slight turn caused the knob to click. Xin Siyue excitedly pulled out the key. That annoying guy dares to confuse me! Hmph! After muttering to herself, she glanced down at the red string and shook her head. In fact, the villainess was too infatuated with that man. Wrapping the key with a red string and hiding it under her pillow was evidence that she considered the handsome male protagonist as her only sustenance and source of hope. (T/N: red stringCsymbol of fated lovers) However, the villainess never wouldve expected that a miserable ending awaited her. Under the dim corridor light, Xin Siyue finally managed to open the door with her key. She retracted her key and smiled with pride. Just when she was about to enter, she heard her neighbors door click open and the sound of a womans voice echoed: Think again, if you dare play tricks with me, Ill have your old man deal with you! For a moment, Xin Siyue wondered who the woman was until she heard a familiar mans reply: Every time, you keep trying to threaten me with my old man. Why would I trick you? Now that she knows this was related to Chen Sinan, she wanted to quickly enter into her apartment, but then the womans voice behind her spoke: Huh? How can your neighbor be such a young girl? Chen Sinans mother, Weng Yinlin, wore a light gray dress with her skirt reaching to her knees. Even in her middle-age, her waist was still slender, and her face accentuated with makeup was full of charm. Xin Siyue observed this new face face and soon realized where Chen Sinan got his good genes; his mother was quite attractive. Xin Siyues impression of Weng Yinlin was the same as any mother of a rich male protagonist in whichever novelCshe hated this type of lady very much. Even in the original novel for this world, this mother threatened the female protagonist to leave her son while promising any amount of money, even if its thousands of dollars. However, during that time, the female protagonists career was flourishing, so she naturally humiliated Weng Yinlins reputation in a merciless fashion. Weng Yinlin had to retreat in the end. Chapter 24 - Weng Yinlin Ch.24 Weng Yinlin Weng Yinlin was treated like a princess since childhood. Later on, she started her own entertainment company and even won the title of Film Empress numerous times. Who wouldnt treat her like a queen? Aside from the female protagonist who clashed with her, no one else had a chance of going against Weng Yinlin except for her son. That was why she got into trouble when trying to subdue the female protagonist. Anyways, in Xin Siyues opinion, there would always be disagreements between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Since ancient times, there didnt have to be a good reason for someone to hate another. Xin Siyues thoughts began to wander. When did Weng Yinlin gradually begin to accept the female protagonist? It seems to be that year after her sons marriage, when Sheng Wenyang gave birth to a son. Since then, their friendship gradually began to develop. While in a daze, Xin Siyue had no idea that Chen Sinan glanced at her after hearing his mothers question. Naturally, he noticed that her door was still half-open. When he entered his apartment earlier, he heard her leave the apartment. How could she be back now? Perhaps she left to retrieve her keys before returning. Chen Sinan was surprised that this girl would still trouble herself and run back and forth diligently in the middle of the night. But thinking about it, the fact that she chases him diligently was one thing she was good at doing. Fearing that his mom might get the wrong idea, he unexpectedly spoke up and explained: Mom, I dont know her. The implication behind his words was to avoid gossip and prying any further. Weng Yinlin stared at him in disbelief. Just now, he was clearly sneaking a glance at that girl, dont think that she didnt miss it! Getting this boys attention was no easy feat! When Wen Yinlin looked at Xin Siyue once again, the girl nodded timidly in affirmation of Chen Sinans claim. Afterwards, Xin Siyue said that she had to go, then smiled at the mom before quickly retreating into her room. Weng Yinlin noticed that the young girl had a clean face without any thick makeup, but was still quite a beauty. She wanted to ask a question or two, but never expected the girl to run away as if she was being chased by frightening beasts. Weng Yinlin was familiar with her sons way of speaking and mannerism since he was a child. She turned to her son and asked, Do you know her? Chen Sinan impatiently replied, I just told you earlier. Weng Yinlin laughed and commented jokingly, Its rare for a girl to not be swayed by your appearance when she sees you. She didnt seem to put you in her sights at all, does she? How can two people claim to not know each other when the truth is already so obvious? After saying so, she was amused to see that her sons face seemed somewhat gloomy. Hmph, instead of faking, why dont you just admit it! After seeing Weng Yinlin off, Chen Sinan stood by his door while thoughtfully looking at his neighbors closed door. He was considering when to carry out his plan to move out of this apartment. To his surprise, however, before he could make his move, his neighbor already made plans to move out quickly. That weekend, while Chen Sinan had a break, he suddenly heard loud ping ping pang pang noises next door along with loud voices. Although he couldnt hear the specifics of what was said, it was obvious that there were several people next door. Feeling very angry, Chen Sinan changed into his casual clothes and opened the door, his expression dark and cloudy. Xin Siyue, who wore black jeans, shirt and a red jacket, was shaking her head while directing a group of large men in work clothes to move her furniture. Upon seeing this, Chen Sinan couldnt help but furrow his brow. Xin Siyue heard a door behind her open, but just as she was about to turn around in curiosity, something caught her attention and she continued to direct her men, Be careful, careful. Go left, go left again, okay. Chen Sinan, who was completely ignored, deepened his gaze. Xin Siyue, whats the meaning of this? Chapter 25 - Moving Out Ch.25 Moving Out Xin Siyue, whats the meaning of this? Xin Siyue didnt even think about it before she retorted, Im moving! Nevertheless, Chen Sinans expression remained calm and collected; he didnt respond to her. However, Xin Siyue was smart enough to sense his terrible mood. The mans entire body seemed to be emitting an aura, as if to say Im not in a good mood, so its best if you dont provoke me. As a result, Xin Siyues clear dark eyes swept at her surroundings before she said apologetically, Im sorry for waking you up. We will be done moving everything out in twenty minutes, so once were finished, we will leave immediately. Chen Sinan only felt an unhappy mood well up in his heart. Did he look stupid to her? How can he not see that she was moving? He only wanted to ask why it seemed as if she couldnt wait to move far away from him. Back when she liked him, she chased after him and stuck to his side like a sticky piece of gum that he couldnt wait to throw away. Now that she didnt want him anymore, she was trying to avoid him much more vehemently than he did to her. At this thought, Chen Sinan grunted at her with disdain and turned around. Xin Siyue was confused by his reaction. She stood on the spot, trying to figure what he meant by that grunt, but even after thinking about it for a few minutes, she still couldnt tell what it was that made him unhappy. She was obviously fulfilling his wish by moving far away! Since shes being so considerate towards him, why does he still have to act so enigmatic? Why is this guy so hard to understand? Xin Siyue already knew that even if she didnt move away, Chen Sinan would eventually move away on his own. In the end, it didnt make a difference whether it was him or her who moved out. Moreover, this wasnt a place that she had bought for herself. It would be better if she sold the place and used that money to buy a place she liked. When Xin Siyue had returned home the other day, she had told Xin Qiancheng that she wanted to sell her place. Xin Qiancheng naturally knew that she had originally stirred up trouble in order to buy that place and get closer to Chen Sinan. He had tried convincing her before, but Xin Siyue was persistent on buying that place. Back then, he wasnt in the mood to handle her affairs. Now that she wanted to sell it, Xin Qiancheng couldnt agree more with the idea. In less than a week, he was able to find her a buyer. Even the people from the moving company were prepared by him. Xin Siyue was idle since everything had already been taken care of by her brother. She had only come over to grab some things and help with the moving, but she never expected that Chen Sinan was such a difficult person to please. In the end, she didnt care about whether he was angry or happy. In high spirits, she happily finished all of her work, lifted her small backpack, and rolled her suitcase towards the train to head back home. Chen Sinan followed his normal routine of exercising in the gym for half an hour. He then took a shower and sat down in preparation to eat breakfast. As he sat down, he strained his ears to listen to the sounds outside, but it was completely quiet. He coolly took a sip of milk. In the end, he couldnt restrain himself and stood up, opening his door. As he glanced at the tightly shut entrance next door, his expression turned dark. After moving out, Xin Siyue was filled with excitement for a long time. Her spirits were incomparably high. Since it was now early May, she recalled that according to the plot following the competition scene, Chen Sinan would head back directly to his company and work. If they were to cross paths again, it would be during their graduation ceremony this early June. Haha, she would no longer encounter Chen Sinan at school, neither would she ever go where he lived. Xin Siyue was very certain that their paths would not cross in the future, so she relaxed mentally and single-mindedly focused on studying. However, the saying of The brother has left the Jiang Hu, but the Jiang Hu still has stories of that brother! was on point. (T/N: Jiang Hu() literally means rivers and lakes, but usually represents the wandering community of martial artists and people of special skills. Its mentioned often in Chinese martial arts movies and other c-novels as well) Although Chen Sinan was no longer physically on campus, the impact of the aftermath was still quite serious. Chapter 26 - Campus Forum Chapter 26 Campus Forum That night, the pairs display of intimacy was seen by everyone, causing the site traffic on the campus forum to increase considerably. There was a post titled Out of the 818 frenzied female fans who had chased S schools prince, who won in the end? that was very popular. After Zhong Qin had notified her of the post, Xin Siyue had no desire to check it out. However, her roommate still pushed her to skim through several pages of the post. The first comment included a photo that the dorm leader secretly took, which showed Chen Sinan turning around and speaking to Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue thought that it mustve been the lighting that had created a false impression. If not, why else would she see a slight touch of tenderness in Chen Sinans eyes? Of course, she was the only one who assumed that it was the lighting playing tricks on the photo. Thousands of others thought that the look in Chen Sinans eyes were exceptionally tender as he glanced back at Xin Siyue. As a result, after the photo was posted, some mourned, some cried, and some directly scolded Xin Siyue as shameless! Then, the main event broke out; after seeing several comments that scolded Xin Siyue for being shameless, everyone started joining in, crying out the same thing. They also very considerately dug out her old history of chasing after the male god. In fact, they reviewed all of her old awkward and embarrassing moments. Compiled together, it should be called Xin Siyues Growth Record of Shamelessness! After hundreds of pages of scolding, someone finally changed up the tune: Ah, this girl is actually quite praiseworthy and courageous! If there was someone who chased after me like this, I might reciprocate as well! Hence, everyones focus shifted again; they studied the secret of how to win over the aloof school prince! Xin Siyue wanted to prostrate before their brainlessness. It truly was impressive! Chen Sinans fame, coupled with this popular forum, caused the name Xin Siyue to become recognizable to more and more people. When Xin Siyue went to the school cafeteria to eat, people around her were no longer focused on their meals. Instead, they purely put their efforts into staring at her. As a result, she no longer visited the cafeteria as often. Of course, there were still some small troublesome matters, but Xin Siyue sincerely and earnestly warded them away. Xin Siyue stared at the group of girls blocking her way. Classmates, Im really not in a relationship with Chen Sinan. Youre lying! Who is Chen Sinan? He is the school prince of our college, the male god! Who do you think I am to be able to match up to him? Xin Siyue enthusiastically exaggerated Chen Sinans status. Oh, thats true! The person suddenly understood. So you are speaking the truth? I swear to God! But doesnt that post say The post was just blindly stating things. Chen Sinan and I have no relationship with each other whatsoever! Xin Siyue had bitterly tried to persuade them, and they had miraculously believed her. As they walked away, one of the girls even vowed Dont worry, I will help you clear up this matter. En, the kind students immediately replied to the post once she got home: Just now, I asked Xin Xin herself. She swore to God that she and Chen Sinan arent in a relationship with each other. She doesnt even think about him, everything is clear and innocent. Everyone, you can rest assured and go wash up and sleep. After the post was sent, quite a few people inquired about the truth of the statement by posting comments underneath the claim. The kindhearted student earnestly replied to each of the posts. Mao Shiyuan excitedly looked at the posts and comments and had even taken a few screenshots of them. He showed the screenshots to Chen Sinan and asked, Sinan, what did you do to make Miss Xin wholeheartedly deny the relationship between you two? Whats more, it seems like shes trying to avoid you as one might with snakes and scorpions! When Chen Sinan finished looking through the forum and its information, he frowned and glanced at the picture. Chen Sinan smiled an ice-cold smile as he just thought of something, then replied Mao Shiyuan one word: Oh. Mao Shiyuan didnt think that Chen Sinan would respond, but he actually responded this time! He was excited as he replied, Damn, I think I smell adultery in the air! Chen Sinan sneered, his slender fingers quickly typed a sentence on his phone before he sent, You should ask her how she felt that night when she met my mother. Chapter 27 - I’ll Capture Him! Chapter 27 Ill Capture Him! Mao Shiyuan was excited to the point that he couldnt even type his words correctly! He immediately replied, What is this situation? You guys actually got together while hiding it from other people? Quickly tell me, how long has this been going on? Shen Sinan indifferently replied, You can ask her. Continuing on, he acted as though he remembered something else: Im very curious how the people in the forum will react when they hear that she had seen my mother. Mao Shiyuan was stunneddid he want to publicize their relationship? Crap! He wished he could get closer to Xin Siyue now. But the way he was going about things right now didnt seem to be his usual style. After all, the way he spoke made it seem like there was a conspiracy behind it all. Even though he didnt fully understand the situation, Mao Shiyuan still fulfilled what he thought was Xin Siyues wish. Underneath the forum, he added oil to the fire by stating, According to the male party involved, the female party has already met his parents. The involved party had said, and I quote, you should ask her how she felt that night when she met my mother. The forum was just calming down, but Mao Shiyuans comment had sent them into a frenzy once again. Whats with this situation? I know this I.D., its senior Mao Shiyuan! Your mother! Isnt senior Mao Shiyuan living with senior Chen Sinan? That scared me! This means that the source of the information is definitely reliable! She actually had already seen his parents! It seems like we cant keep school hunk Chen anymore! Wu, wu, wu. The school prince has an owner now, lets all go wash up and sleep. Is there still room on the school roof? I want to book I already told you that there would be a good show, you guys just didnt believe me! Xin Siyue isnt worthy of our male god! I reject this couple! Are you stupid? Shes already met his parents, so theres no use even if you reject it! Im heartbroken! My male god Xin Siyue was at the library; she had just finished reading half of her book when she was beckoned back by an urgent message on her phone. She pushed open the door to her dorm and found that all the girls in her class were gathered there. Xin Siyue was surprised, Are you guys having a party? Siyue, stop acting dumb! We all know! Xin Siyue was still unaware, so she asked, Know what? We know the matter between you and the school prince! What? Youve already met the school princes mother, isnt that right? Xin Siyue thought about it, but still didnt understand the true meaning behind those words, and truthfully replied, Yeah, I met her. Oh my god! Siyue, you are amazing! After Xin Siyue finished speaking, they surrounded her and started their inquisition: What kind of method did you use to capture him? Quickly tell us! Oh right, how far have you guys gone? Have you guys kissed or hugged? Is the school prince considerate? Did it feel good to kiss him? Xin Siyue was still oblivious to the situation. In order to answer their quick succession of questions, she had to increase her voice by a few decibels. She was still baffled when she asked, What are you guys talking about? Zhong Qin explained, Senior Mao said that you and the school hunk are in a relationship! Huh? Xin Siyue was speechless until she saw what Mao Shiyuan had posted. Her expression became gloomy, Is this person ill? Why is he making up rumors? Sun Miaomiao was the first to refute her, Rumor? Are you saying that senior Mao isnt telling the truth? Thisit was the truth. I saw his parents, but I had only greeted them by nodding my head. Does that even count as meeting his parents? said Xin Siyue unhappily. Does that mean that of all the parents Ive met, if they have a son whose age is similar to mine, that would mean were dating? After Xin Siyue had finished venting, she was still annoyed, I dont need to explain the situation to you guys. I dont have any relationship with Chen Sinan. Ill be hostile with anyone who dares mention Chen Sinan to my face in the future! Did Chen Sinan have illness? She had tried so hard to minimize her presence, hiding and avoiding him. But it seemed that he didnt like to see other people living well! No one had ever seen the polite and amiable Xin Siyue become angry. The girls glanced at each other, but no one spoke up besides Sun Miaomiao, who mockingly smiled at Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue had used the computers ID to reply to the post: I am Xin Siyue. Im here to declare that Chen Sinan and I have no relationship with each other. If anyone tries to start making rumors about us again, I will really capture Chen Sinan for myself! Chapter 28 - Lashing Out Chapter 28 Lashing Out Xin Siyue was so angry with Chen Sinan for deliberately causing trouble, that she couldnt help but think over and over of the harsh punishments he would suffer hundreds of times in her mind. She went through a lot of trouble pretending to act tough to calm down the womens gossiping, but who knew that once men started to gossip, it was even worse? Ji Yi was an honest-to-goodness freak; he had already been bothering her for the past few days about it. When Xin Siyue walked out of the library, she couldnt help but sigh upon noticing Ji Yi approach from behind her. She looked back at him expressionlessly. Why are you still following me? I dont need to attend any other competitions. Cant I talk to you now that youre not going to competitions? Xin Siyue chuckled and answered impolitely, Hmm you really cant. Ji Yi was flustered at her ruthless remarks. Seeing that his face was fairly ugly, she stared at him and smiled smugly while continuing to speak, I dont want any relationship with your department or the student union. You should be conscientious enough not to put me in a tight spot. I just might lash out unkind words if I cant take it anymore. Xin Siyues threat prompted Ji Yi to ask, Just like when you lashed out on the forum about winning Chen Sinan for yourself? Well, I hope you would do the same for me. Xin Siyue was shocked. She posted rumors about winning Chen Sinan over, but it was only to make the girls stop. Under no circumstances would they would wish for the one they admired or liked to have his own angel. Even if these girls didnt date the school prince, simply knowing that the male god was single was enough to bring them joy. She knew that they didnt want her and Chen Sinan to be together since they heard of how shameless she was. With Chen Sinans strange attitude, she might have really ended up winning him over if she maintained this shamelessness. Xin Siyue knew that they wouldnt risk it. Therefore, the truth proved that no one would YY her and Chen Sinan anymore. She was satisfied. But Ji Yi really misunderstood. Xin Siyue couldnt help but sigh, responding, If you had half of Chen Sinans looks and power, maybe I could accept you reluctantly. Ji Yi was speechless. Seeing that he stopped talking, Xin Siyue was very pleased. Good! She could slip off! Who would have thought that Ji Yi`in his freakish behaviour`would grab her wrist? Youre rejecting me because Chen Sinan and I are in the same department? Or is it because he was the former president of the student union and Im the current one? Is that why you dont want relations with anyone that had to do with him? Xin Siyue couldnt help but knit her eyebrows annoyedly when she saw him grab hold of her slender wrist. Before she crossed over, she had always been single. At most, she had feelings towards one or two guys at school and chatted with them. But she never got together with them, they didnt even hold hands. But now, Ji Yi the freak was having his way with her wrist. Xin Siyue calmly looked at her wrist and raised her chin, Let go. Xin Siyue looked at him and said gloomily, You guessed right! Im not willing to have any relationship with anyone or anything related to Chen Sinan. Even if he left the school, I wouldnt be willing to mention the architecture department or even the student unions. All you did was borrow the light Chen Sinan left behind. Youre not being fair to me, Ji Yi replied. Were not related in any way, and Im not planning to be friends with you. Why should I be fair? Xin Siyue couldnt help but add, Ji Yi, your department is on the east side while mine is on the west. Stop letting me see you so often, okay? What she really meant was that she didnt want to see him at all! Ji Yis expression darkened. Xin Siyue didnt care much about it. There werent many people in her department who were similar to Chen Sinan. The only problem left was Ji Yi; she couldnt help but feel like she didnt know what he wanted. Instead of staying by her side and wasting brain cells, why not bug off earlier on? That way, she could peacefully do what she wanted to. Xin Siyue felt extremely accomplished after leaving Ji Yi, to the point where she even hummed a song while going out to look for food. What she wasnt aware of was that besides Ji Yi in the architecture department, Mao Shiyuan was also looking for her. He asked many people before finding out that Xin Siyue was in the library. Upon arriving he saw Xin Siyue and Ji Yi having a conversation. When he heard Ji Yi questioning Xin Siyue`asking if she wasnt willing to have any relations with people related to Chen Sinan`he eagerly took out his phone and recorded them. He even laughed at Chen Sinans misfortune when Xin Siyue admitted to it. Haha! I wonder if Anan will turn green with anger after seeing this video! Originally, he thought that Xin Siyue became smarter and learnt that there was no sweetness behind forced words. Today, he learned that was not the case; rather, she was ruthless and heartless! Mao Shiyuan thought that Xin Siyue was much more interesting than before. Because of this, he wanted to get closer to her and find out even more about her. Chapter 29 - Video Recording (1) Chapter 29: Video Recording (1) So when Xin Siyue was waiting for food and suddenly noticed a man sitting by her side, she instinctively raised her head to find none other than Mao Shiyuan smiling while he greeted her. Long time no see, Junior Xin! Xin Siyue didnt react as a thought crossed her mind: Those who smile are not good people. Xin Siyue looked up in alarm, saying unhappily, I dont know you. She remembered his looks. The person in front of her was the one who sat by Chen Sinans side whenever she went to eat with Sun Miaomiao. If he ate with Chen Sinan, then she wouldnt interact with him. Mao Shiyuan quietly acknowledged Xin Siyues lack of enthusiasm. He smiled and asked, Do you really not remember me? With closer observation, he figured Xin Siyue was probably only pretending not to remember! But Xin Siyue really didnt know him. You are? Mao Shiyuan exclaimed confusedly, Ah? He was shocked, was she going to continue to act? We dont really know each other, so theres no need to sit together. There are plenty of seats over there, Xin Siyue responded sincerely while she pointed to her right, unaware of the abundance of thoughts flowing through Mao Shiyuans mind. Mao Shiyuan froze while pouring water for himself, and roared, Im Mao Shiyuan! His loud voice practically demanded attention. Mao Shiyuan was about to explode from anger! He calmed down and continued, Did you really forget? Heh, replied Xin Siyue, not knowing what to say. But she knew it was the male leads best friend, Mao Shiyuan! Mao Shiyuan. She knew the name`he was pretty close to the male lead. After the male lead opened his own company, Mao Shiyuan was the one in charge of management. Plus, before she crossed over, Mao Shiyuan was considered a matchmaker between the second female lead and the male lead. Even if Xin Siyue wasnt unfamiliar with him, its not like she could pretend to know him very well either! Somewhat apologetically, she replied, Sorry, I really have no memory of you. Pretend! Keep pretending! Mao Shiyuan thought in his heart. Did you really lose your memory? Xin Siyue hurriedly nodded her head and confirmed, Yeah, really. Mao Shiyuan couldnt accept her response. I dont believe this. If you really lost your memory then how come you act differently when youre around Chen Sinan? Xin Siyue rolled her eyes. Dear, through which one of those eyes did you see me and Chen Sinan getting along in a friendly manner with each other? she thought to herself. Seeing that she didnt respond, Mao Shiyuan didnt have to either. The message behind the expression on his face was clear. Now that youve shown me what you really are, how are you going to clean this mess up now? Xin Siyue knitted her eyebrows. Mao Shiyuan struck while the iron was hot, Whats the matter? Have you run out of excuses? I dont need an excuse, but you can try. Chen Sinan is a name that you hear every day. How could you not remember his name? Many people seemed scared that I might forget all the embarrassment Id caused before`and even helped me look back at each event one by one. Tell me. If I really lost my memory, do you think Im so stupid that I wouldnt be able to find out exactly what happened? Xi Siyuan replied. Seeing him still dazed, she concluded, You know, if you were as influential and powerful as Chen Sinan, Id know your name too. Mao Shiyuan, was partly deceived, but he didnt fully take in what she just said. He just thought that the way she talked sounded familiar. Xin Siyue looked at his frozen expression, one which seemed to be unsure of the validity of her claim. She interrupted him. Whats the matter? Mao Shiyuan forgot about why he wanted to look for her in the first place. Instead, he began laughing and took out his phone. He moved closer and said smugly, in a quiet voice, Watch this. Xin Siyue was confused. Did he come all the way here just to show her a video? Was Mao Shiyuan really that casual? She looked surprised, but Mao Shiyuan already placed the phone in her view on the table in front of them. Look. First, she saw the green tree near the library. Just as she thought it was familiar, she suddenly saw herself in the video with Ji Yi. She was shocked to hear her voice, easily recognizable despite the distance. You guessed right! Im not willing to have any relationship with anyone or anything related to Chen Sinan. Even if he left the school, I wouldnt be willing to mention the architecture department or even the student unions. All you did was borrow the light Chen Sinan left behind. While Xin Siyue exclaimed this, she didnt know that she had spoken with such passion`or rather, such a decisive tone. Hearing it made her dazed. When she finally reacted, she hurriedly tried to grab the phone on in order to destroy the video. What was Mao Shiyuan thinking when he recorded this video? Xin Siyue felt an unbelievable awkwardness, seeing herself on video in someone elses phone`especially without her permission. She was angry but even angrier that Mao Shiyuan was quicker than her. Sh*t! Xin Siyue wanted to curse. Badly. Mao Shiyuan was satisfied seeing her reaction, and teased, Dont think about deleting it. I already sent it to Anan, anyways, so theres no use deleting it! Mao Shiyuan, youve got a serious problem! Chapter 30 - Video Recording (2) Ch.30 Video Recording (2) Xin Siyues chest ached in pain due to anger. One after another, the people in the book kept looking for trouble with her. What were their intentions? She finally calmed herself down and coldly asked, What do you mean? When Mao Shiyuan heard her tone, he was shocked for a moment, Why are you acting so serious? Xin Siyue felt that she was about to be schemed endlessly by them, Why are you sending this to Chen Sinan? Mao Shiyuan hurriedly placed his phone in his pocket to prevent her from stealing his phone. Once he believed it was safe, he replied, Im helping you. Helping me? Xin Siyues voice turned colder, Forgive me because I dont understand how youre helping me by your actions. Mao Shiyuan was amused by her tone, Ah, I noticed that you became much more interesting after the fall semester. Xin Siyue rolled her eyes, If you think I became interesting after my fall, then you should try falling down the stairs as well. As someone who wanted to avoid physical injuries, Mao Shiyuan immediately retorted, I didnt do anything wrong! Xin Siyue silently looked at him without reply. Meanwhile, Mao Shiyuan tried to worm his way closer to her: Im really trying to help you. Xin Siyue coldly humphed, Mao Shiyuan, I didnt know that you have a hobby of secretly recording other people. I would do a disservice to myself if I didnt capture such an amazing moment! Mao Shiyuan said with confidence. Xin Siyue felt that if she could shoot arrows out from her eyes, this student would already have ten thousand arrows stabbing through his heart! Mao Shiyuan laughed, Dont be anxious, listen to me as I explain. Xin Siyue wasnt interested, Thank you very much but I dont believe that there are any benefits for me for listening to you. However, I do know that youre just enjoying this show and treating me as amusement for yourself. Mao Shiyuan laughed, Indeed, I like to watch the show, especially when it involves both Chen Sinan and you. Not only did you successfully attract Chen Sinans attention with your words, what was most important was that he would know your truthful thoughts. If you really dont like him anymore, then he wouldnt think too badly of you from now on Xin Siyue didnt feel the same way as he did, Since I dont like him, why should I care about how he thinks of me? Uh Mao Shiyuan felt that there was something wrong; how was he supposed to respond to her remark? Xin Siyue knew that she was right and continued, You misunderstood my intentions. From the beginning, I didnt have any intentions of attracting Chen Sinans attention. What? Mao Shiyuan was shocked, Werent you pursuing him to the point where you would only marry him this life? Xin Siyue chuckled, Times have changed. Plus, I lost my memory, remember? As she childishly blinked her big eyes, Mao Shiyuan was stunned, not knowing how to react to her action. Xin Siyue subconsciously realized that it was out of character for her to act like this, so she softly coughed and emphasised, Anyways, dont mention Chen Sinan in front of me again. You should know that nothing will happen between Sinan and I. He loved Sheng Wenyang As if Mao Shiyuan had just suddenly realized something, he asked, So you gave up in him halfway because of Sheng Wenyang? He continued, No! Didnt you lose your memory? How did you know about her? Plus, you already knew about Sheng Wenyang in the past and I even reminded you about that out of kindness but you still ignored my advice. You told me that youre not afraid of a person who isnt even in the country right now and that you will win A-Nans heart while she wasnt here Xin Siyue waved her hands, I really dont remember everything that Ive said. Ji Yi was the one who told me about Sheng Wenyang. She looked at Mao Shiyuan, trying to verify the truth, Didnt they say that they were in love with each other? Chapter 31 - Video Recording (3) Ch.31 Video Recording (3) ThisMao Shiyuan didnt know what to sayhe was scared of saying something wrong and anger Chen Sinan. Chen Sinan might try to get rid of him later on. Therefore, he half-heartedly said heh. Xin Siyue grunted in disdain, Humph! I knew there was something going on between them!! Even if you dont tell me, I already know everything. Because of the conversation, the atmosphere was unbelievably strange and quiet while they ate lunch. When Xin Siyue and Mao Shiyuan left the cafeteria, she said, Stop looking for me in the future. Mao Shiyuan asked, Is that because of Chen Sinan? Xin Siyues smile sti stiffened, Hmm, another reason is because Im angry at you for secretly taking a video of me. So, dont show your face in front of me for a period of time. Otherwise, I might take revenge on you if I cant control myself. Mao Shiyuan, On the other hand, Chen Sinan was also having dinner. Last time, Weng Yinlin had specially invited him to attend a dinner but Chen Sinan knew what the adults were busy with, so he had rejected their invitations a few times. Now, Weng Yinlin was pressuring him by using the old man. Chen Sinan grew up surviving the old mans beatings. Although Chen Sinan was unreasonable from childhood, the old man was even more unreasonable and harsh, using feather dusters and sticks to beat him up. Gradually, he would only yield to the old man. Whenever the old man said something, Chen Sinan could only half-heartedly respond and eat with the so-called Lai Family and their daughter who had just returned to the country. Of course, he had a cold expression on the whole time. Besides greeting the adults of the Lai Family when he came in, he never looked at them. The daughter of the Lai Family bit her lip and looked like she was extremely wronged when he didnt say anything to her after she glanced up at him for a few hundred times. Weng Yinlin was on the sidelines, trying to mediate between their relationship. She had scolded him as being unfilial at least ten times. After Chen Sinan ate a bit, he elegantly picked up the paper napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth. He got up and said, Sorry, Im going to the bathroom. Without waiting for the other party to reply, he immediately left. Finally, Lai Familys parents faces looked ugly. Weng Yinlin smiled and apologized, Sinan is a bit proud. It will be better once you get to know him. Heh. However, she was thinking the opposite of what she had said. The Lai Familys parents could only smile apologetically. In reality, claiming connections with Chen Family was something that the people in the city could only dream about! After Chen Sinan got out of the private room and turned a few corners, he stopped by a narrow end of the stairs and looked out the window where the bright lights outside. Chen Sinan pulled out a cigarette box from his pocket and starting to smoke. He had smoked a few times before but he wasnt really addicted. However, there was a lot going on in the company and it was difficult to sleep after handling everything since it was in the middle of the night. It was very lonely and boring this late, so he had slowly began to smoke in order to pass time. Of course, he only casually smoked. Chen Sinan smoked a bit before gradually spitting out smoke rings. He squinted his eyes and looked through the smoke, unclear as to what he was looking at. He stood for a while, took out his phone, and casually scrolled through it to see the video Mao Shiyuan sent. Mao Shiyuan wouldnt dare to send him a boring video so he opened it to check it out. In this quiet space, even the womans voice became especially clear. Chen Sinan slightly squinted his eyes and the red light in his right hands fingertips slightly flashed. He watched her serious expression and her determined words. After Chen Sinan saw this, he had actually played it again. Then, he deleted it and sent Mao Shiyuan a text: Come out and drink with me. Chapter 32 - Video Recording (4) Ch.32 Video Recording (4) Chen Sinan slightly squinted his eyes, the red light between the fingertips of his right hand flashed. He attentively watched her serious expression as she as she resolutely said those words. When he finished watching it once, he had actually replayed it again. After he finished watching it the second time, he deleted the video and texted a message to Mao Shiyuan: Come and drink with me. After sending the text message, he put out the cigarette. Without turning back, Chen Sinan walked straight towards the entrance of the dinning hall. However, he never anticipated that he would accidentally meet Xin Qiancheng on the first floor lounge. Xin Qiangcheng was dressed in formal attire with an assistant following behind him. In addition to the assistant were three big bellied middle age man. From their appearance, it seemed that they had just finished attending a dinner party and were preparing to leave. When Xin Qiancheng spotted Chen Sinan from afar, the expression on his face turned cold. Ever since his little sister stopped pestering Chen Sinan, Xin Qiangcheng felt that he could finally lift his face again. When Chen Sinan saw that Xin Qiancheng was looking at him with hostility, he stopped walking and looked up at this man with interest. Xin Qiancheng instructed his assistant, Help me send off the bosses. The bosses naturally got the hint that Xin Qiangcheng wanted to discuss something with Chen Sinan. So, they complimented, Since President Xin has something to do, we will leave first. We will talk about the specific details regarding the arrangements for our collaboration tomorrow. Okay. Xin Qiancheng nodded his head. Soon after they left him, he saw that they had respectfully stopped walking and chatted a little with Chen Sinan when they walked passed him. Chen Sinan impatiently and perfuncterly nodded his head at them and responded a few words. Xin Qiancheng waited for everyone to leave before he said, Im less than impressed by President Chens attitude. President Xin is not to be outdone either. Xin Qiancheng naturally knew whether Chen Sinan was either joking or telling the truth. For the Xin Family to develop to what it is today was thanks to the hard work of the many generations. In Shengjin city, their company can be considered to be rich, outstanding, and elite. However, Xin Qiansheng knew the situation of the company better than anyone else. When their company was compared to the influential Chen corporation, there was a huge distance between them. Xin Qiancheng had vision and ambition, so he had always considered Chen Sinan as rival. But deep down, he knew that Chen Sinan had never taken him seriously. Because of that, every time he saw Chen Sinan, he would lose his reasoning and exchange a hostile few words with him. If he doesnt do so, Xin Qiancheng would feel restless. Is President Chen here for work too? Chen Sinan wasnt interested in answering his question. He just smiled and said, My mother said that the Xin Family is good and that the young lady from the Xin Family is very likable too. His words were light as a feather without any sincere feelings behind it. This caused Xin Qianchengs expression to immediately darken. Chen Sinan smiled with satisfaction as he nodded his head. He gestured that he was going to leave, then he turned around and confidently left. Before Chen Sinan had seen Xin Qiancheng in person, he had heard a little about him from other people. This man was only older than him by four to five years and was also considered one of the young and promising successors of a powerful business in Shenjing city. After meeting him two to three times, Chen Sinan found out what Xin Qianchengs fatal weak point was; this man wasnt willing to have his little sister to have any relationship with him at all. Because of Xin Siyues recent change of behavior, it gave Xin Qiancheng the confidence to face him again. However, Chen Sinan can easily break his confidence with just a simple sentence. Chen Sinan suddenly found out that Xin Siyue was pretty useful. Authors Comment: Chen Sinans mother: I have never said those words before ~ Chen Sinan: He turned his face away because he doesnt want to talk about it. His heart feels suffocated. Manuscript Monarch: My heart also feels suffocated. Yiyi almost forgot to release me ~/(o)/~~ Chapter 33 - Video Recording (5) Ch.33 Video Recording (5) Mao Shiyuan had waited quite a while in the private room before the Chen Sinan finally arrived. When he saw Chen Sinan enter in while dressed in formal attire, Mao Shiyuan put back the wine glass he had just picked up and asked in surprise, Why did you suddenly want to drink with me? Chen Sinan removed his jacket, loosened the tie around his neck, and unbuttoned two of the buttons on his neckline. Mao Shiyuan looked up at the male god who didnt reply to his question and began to undress. He was stunned by the mans action and asked, What are you doing? Chen Sinan glanced at him. Mao Shiyuan felt like he got goosebumps all over his body. He immediately stood up, waved his hand, and said, If you have something you want to say, just say it. Male god, please dont look at me like that! Theres no point in using the male beauty trap here. If it was a female that was sitting here, Mao Shiyuan knew that the female wouldve thrown herself at Chen Sinan in less than three seconds. Chen Sinan slowly sat down and he poured himself a glass of wine in the empty wine glass. He took a sip of the wine and suddenly said, Phone. What? Mao Shiyuan was confused by his sudden response. Chen Sinan repeated himself and said, Your cellphone. Mao Shiyuan didnt think much of his request as he took out his cellphone and handed it to him. He asked, You didnt bring your phone? Chen Sinan didnt reply, he simply gestured for Mao Shiyuan to unlock his phone. Mao Shiyuan obediently followed his order and unlocked his phone. Feeling surprised when he saw Chen Sinan grab it from his hands, he couldnt help but ask, You really didnt bring your phone with you? After Chen Sinan quickly pressed a few buttons on his phone, he returned it to Mao Shiyuan. Only after giving back the phone did Chen Sinan replied, I did. Mao Shiyuan accepted it back, but he was still a little puzzled after hearing his friends reply. He asked, Since youve brought your phone, why did you need mine? Chen Sinan meaningfully glanced at him. Mao Shiyuan stared blankly at him at him but then, it seemed as if he finally recalled something as he hurriedly unlocked his phone. He searched his phone for the recording he had of Xin Siyue and Ji Yi and found that it was gone. Mao Shiyuan exploded, Chen Sinan, are you retaliating against me? Chen Sinan rejected this idea as he replied, How does deleting a video count as retaliating against you? Mao Shiyuan felt that this man was very difficult to understand, Im trying to help you out of kindness! What are you trying to do by deleting it? If you arent going to delete it, what are you keeping it for? Are you keeping it as a souvenir? Mao Shiyuan choked on his words and was unable to respond. After some time passed, he finally reacted and said, A-Nan, could it be that Xin Siyue asked you to delete the video? No wonder I feel like there is something fishy going on when you invited me out to drink tonight. It seems that you had dug a pit and waited for me to jump in! Hm? Chen Sinan slightly looked at Mao Shiyuan from the corners of his eyes. Mao Shiyuan said, Today, I had a meal with her. She was determined to steal my phone and delete the video. But of course, she wasnt able to! However, in the end, he had never expected that Chen Sinan would be the one who deleted it. Chen Sinan thoughtfully looked at the sparkling and translucent liquid inside the wine glass. Mao Shiyuan paid extra attention to the expression on Chen Sinans face. He had an intuition. A-Nan, could it be that youre interested in Xin Siyue? Chen Sinan glanced at him with a smile yet not a smile. Mao Shiyuan deciphered his expression asno. He waved his hand, I also believe that it is impossible! In the past, Xin Siyue had tried so hard to chase after you, but you werent interested at all. Now, she cant wait to get as far away from you as possible, so you should have even less of an interest in her. Chapter 34 - Sheng Wenyang Chapter 34 Sheng Wenyang Chen Sinan didnt reply, he just allowed him to guess as he liked. After Mao Shiyuan finished speaking, Chen Sinan said, Recently, Ive been taking care of matters in my new company. You should join me. Huh? Mao Shiyuan was so startled by his news that he had almost choked on his wine, Since when did you start a new company? I began the preparations for the new company two months ago. Chen Sinan continued, I cant pull myself away from the Chen company, so you can help me take care of some matters regarding my new company. Mao Shiyuan glanced up at him. It didnt seem like Chen Sinan was playing a joke, so he slapped the table with his hand and replied, Okay! Chen Sinan nodded his head. After having two more sips of wine, Mao Shiyuan cant help but ask, I heard that Xin Siyue moved out of the apartment complex you are currently living at? Hm? Chen Sinan slightly narrowed his eyes. Mao Shiyuan continued, I heard this from her today. Chen Sinan squinted at him and said, You seem quite familiar with her. Mao Shiyuan dryly laughed, Im only trying to help you change her mind. But who wouldve thought, she had cut off all her escape routes? Chen Sinan glanced at him, he knew that Mao Shiyuan was purely enjoying the show and didnt feel like this was a big matter. Mao Shiyuan didnt pay any attention to Chen Sinans expression. While continuing to butt into others business, he said, Shes very strange. In order to avoid you, she had even used Sheng Wenyang who was abroad as a reason to give up. Chen Sinans expression slightly changed as he continued to listen to Mao Shiyuan gossip, What did you do to make her so discouraged to this point? She wasnt willing to turn back no matter what. It seems like she views you as someone extremely dangerous. Chen Sinan took a deep breath. He was somewhat agitated as he said, Dont mention her to me anymore. Mao Shiyuan detected that something was off, so he obediently shut up. In fact, Mao Shiyuan had misunderstood Chen Sinan when he had said, dont mention her to me anymore. The her he mentioned wasnt Xin Siyue but Sheng Wenyang. What outsiders didnt know was that while the way Chen Sinan treated Sheng Wenyang was different, it was only because of her distinctive charm. His feelings for her wasnt to the point where he loved her to death and back. In the beginning, Sheng Wenyang was like a bright and dazzling sun that broke into his world. She was beautiful and capable, mature and steady, and strong. Step by step, she had purposely approached him, confessed, and had followed through the standard routine to get closer to him. Even though Chen Sinan had seen every stage put into action, he didnt feel disgusted by her. Instead, he had just let her do what she wanted. Perhaps Sheng Wenyang believed that she was infallible. She believed that his occasional response to her advances was due to his growing affections, so she ran to him and cried about how her ordinary family could not match up to the strong and impressive the Chen Family was. Sheng Wenyang said that she wanted to go abroad to train herself to be more outstanding so that she could proudly stand side-by-side with him. Chen Sinan looked at her and did not say a single word. While Sheng Wenyang played a weeping beauty, she did not forget to pull down on his neckline and tiptoe, kissing Chen Sinan on the cheek. She then buried her head in his arms and continued to sob, Chen Sinan, I love you! Sheng Wenyangs display of love did not elicit a response. However, there was no better answer than his allowance of her to stay within his arms and kiss him. Chen Sinan had allowed all of her affectionate actions. This was enough to make Sheng Wenyang intensely proud of herself and confident. He had mysophobia, and always disliked being touched by others. However, Sheng Wenyang was an exception to the case. This point was known by many people. That was why rumors of Chen Sinan and Sheng Wenyang being in love with each gradually emerged. Those who saw the two together were even more convinced of the matter. Chapter 35 - Misunderstanding Chapter 35 Misunderstanding Even Mao Shiyuan thought that in this lifetime, the only person that could move Chen Sinans heart was Sheng Wenyang. After the two drank some wine, they bade farewell to each other and went their separate ways. Chen Sinan encountered Weng Yinlin at the entrance of his apartment. She had waited there for him for 10 minutes already. He rubbed his faintly throbbing temples and put up a smile, Mom, how come youre here? Weng Yinlin was angered by him to the point that she already had one foot in her coffin. In a bad mood, she replied: If I didnt come here, then I wouldnt be able to see my son again for most of the month! Chen Sinan lazily turned his head and looked away. He didnt know what these elders were doingC were they bothered about how there was nothing to do, so they just started randomly worried about him? Weng Yinlin saw that he didnt speak and that he even held a contemplative expression on his face. She followed his line of sight and saw that his gaze was fixed on the neighbors door. After staring at it for a few seconds, she suddenly understood and stated, It turns out the reason you kept refusing our matchmaking was because you liked the girl living next door! Chen Sinan didnt even think and immediately replied: She moved away! What he wanted to express was that she no longer lived here and that they no longer had any relations with each other. Also, to prevent her from falling again one day and becoming abnormal, he had already bought the apartment from the owner at a high price, so that she can no longer move back. However, in Weng Yinlins ears, it came across differently. The thoughts that arose in her heart were: Ah, his tone was filled with hidden bitterness. It sounded just like he was abandoned! Then she thought about it some more. That day, the girls attitude did not reveal any interest. It must be that she had no thoughts for him, otherwise, she would not have moved away so suddenly! Weng Yinlin became elated when she realized that there was someone who actually didnt like her son. It should be known that Chen Sinan had been receiving love letters since preschool. Whenever he spoke about girls, he always had this proud and overbearing aura around him, making her very angry! Rarely were there people that can cause him to be humiliated! Weng Yinlin immediately smiled and inquired, What is the name of that girl? Where does she come from? Chen Sinan looked at his mother strangely, Mom, what do you want to do? Weng Yinlin replied: If you like someone, you should just say it outright. Just look at your qualifications, are you still afraid that the girl wont be moved? Chen Sinan quickly realized what his mother had misunderstood. Mom, there isnt anything between me and that girl. Mom knows, but youre a male after all. Being a little more proactive wont hurt. Maybe if you are a little more proactive, the girl will be moved! You should listen and do as I say. Dont always go around with that stiff expression on your face. Smile more, girls prefer men who are gentler and more considerate Chen Sinan shook his head helplessly. He was too lazy to even explain and allowed her to continue and misunderstand. Anyways, its better than having her always shove females toward him. Since Weng Yinlin thought that his heart was already set on that girl, she didnt bother him for a good half month. Mao Shiyuan also truly kept Chen Sinans words, dont bring her up again in his heart. Even after several meetings, he only brought up matters regarding the new company, no longer mentioning Xin Siyues name. Chen Sinan continued to busy himself with work every day. However, he inexplicably felt that something was missing in his life. After he thought carefully about it, he felt that this kind of normal lifestyle was correct; there wasnt anything wrong, so he no longer thought about it deeply. It wasnt until he was on a business trip and attending a birthday celebration that he realized what was missing. When he saw Xin Siyue in a white off-the-shoulder dress at the same venue as him, Chen Sinan finally discovered what his monotonous life was missing. Chapter 36 - Banquet (1) Chapter 36 Banquet (1) Since Avoid the Protagonist! won first place, I will be releasing +3 chapters today. Enjoy the read! and check out Kitty Jius Patreon for more raffles and events Originally, Xin Siyue wasnt planning on showing her face to the birthday banquet, since she didnt know anyone attending. Xin Siyue grabbed Xin Qianchengs arm and held onto her dress, making small, careful steps on her seven-centimeter high-heels. Perhaps because it was the first time, she had paid attention to her attire, but she still felt extremely uncomfortable. Xin Siyue lowered her head to focus on her footsteps, but didnt forget to complain to Xin Qiancheng, I already said that I didnt want to come. You forced me to attend! Plus, I already made an appointment tonight to continue to learn how to dance with the teacher. Ever since Xin Siyue forfeited the competition, she understood: If she wanted to mingle, she needed a special ability she could demonstrate. The host normally wanted someone who had a lot of talent and abilities. They should be able to recite, dance, sing, or play an instrument As long as you have an extra ability, others will think more highly of you. When the time came, Xin Siyue did not want to do something last minute, so she immediately found a dance teacher and a piano teacher. Every night, she alternated what she learned. In Xin Siyues view, spending time on self-improvement was a much better choice in comparison to attending a banquet filled with people that she did not know. However, Xin Qiangcheng didnt think so. Although he later asked what happened with her and Chen Sinans mother, she had only carelessly replied that on the day she returned to the apartment, they had accidentally encountered one another. They hadnt spoken much before she had realized the strange situation and smartly left. After she had finished speaking, Xin Qiancheng was silent for a moment. On the surface, the encounter sounded perfectly normal; yet, listening to Xin Siyues tone, it seemed like it wasnt that simple. Xin Qiancheng, in order to remove the possibility of future trouble, thought that it was still better to let Xin Siyue come out and interact with people, thereby getting to know better-quality men. That way, she can more easily break off her foolish thoughts about Chen Sinan. Xin Siyue did not know that Xin Qiancheng still entertained such thoughts, she really wouldve wanted to stab his head and say: Do I look like that kind of leisurely person?! Xin Qiancheng was very diligent in his duties, taking Xin Siyue to congratulate the 70-year-old birthday host. He brought her away from the crowd and introduced her to each person`making a point of giving Xin Siyue space whenever he introduced her to handsome young men, whom he had selected very carefully, of course. No matter how stupid Xin Siyue was, she understood that this was basically a blind date banquet that Xin Qiancheng had arranged. Shoot! The young man with Xin Siyue at the moment, who just would not stop rambling about his career history, couldnt help but ask after suddenly hearing her say something under her breath, Miss Xin, what did you just say? Xin Siyue forced a rigid smile on her face. Sorry, Im a bit tired and would like to rest over there. Then let me accompany you. Thank you, but theres no need, Xin Siyue smiled as she politely rejected him. When Chen Sinan arrived in the front hall, he was witness to this scene. Xin Siyue wore a revealing long dress, which opened just below her shoulders and teased the passersby to imagine the rest of her delicate frame. She was smiling`talking to a man who was barely a step away from her. Chen Sinan couldnt hear the mans response, but Xin Siyue smiled even brighter, waving her hands at him. She carried her dress and walked over to the corner, where the resting area was. Chapter 37 - Banquet (2) Chapter 37 Banquet (2) Tonight was the first time Xin Siyue attended an event after crossing over. Her hair had been done by a hairstylist under Xin Qianchengs command for about two hours`her long hair softly pulled up, leaving a few soft strands to lay on her shoulder. Chen Sinans gaze stopped at her snow-white skin for a moment before he was greeted by the view of her slender back. The sight made him impatient. What was she planning to do, dressing like this? Gloom settled on his face as he received red wine delivered to him by a waiter. He pursed his lips, feeling the constant irritation that the surrounding environment was causing him. He raised his head to scan the banquets front hall but was surrounded by people who wanted to win his favor before his gaze even landed on the resting area. As he finally made his way out, he was nagged by the owner of the banquet and stopped to speak for a bit. Of course, the conversation was always one-way. Enthusiastic conversation would be met with Chen Sinans curt responses and occasional glances. Chen Sinan took the chance to move elsewhere when changing wine glass. He passed through the crowd and finally saw her. Xin Siyue had her head down, fixing her dress, but she wanted to take the time to look at her miserable feet. What Xin Siyue really wanted to do was to take her shoes off and walk comfortably on the floor. Considering her image, she suppressed her urges, but this didnt hinder her from scolding Xin Qiancheng. Why did he choose such a long evening dress? It was all because of him that she wore such high heels. Anything but high heels! It was all Xin Qianchengs fault that she was so miserable! She felt indignant. What if she sent a message to Xin Qiancheng, telling him that she wasnt feeling well? After all, she had accompanied him and even helped him talk with so many men. Wasnt she loyal enough already? Xin Siyue thought it was an okay plan, so she lowered her head again to flip through her bag for her phone. It took a while, but she noticed, quite tragically, that her stylists had found her a matching handbag. She never placed her phone in it. Was she stupid? Did she actually forget to bring her phone?! Xin Siyue felt so unprepared; she may as well have forgotten to look at the calendar before going out. Everything about that day was warning her that it wasnt a good idea to go out. She anxiously looked at the attendees passing by, attempting to find Xin Qiancheng, but her earnest gaze never fell upon him. Instead, she attracted the attention of Chen Sinan. When Xin Siyue noticed a dark silhouette hovering over her, she looked over without a thought to suddenly find herself captivated by his handsome face. She almost threw her bag in surprise! Shoot! Why is Chen Sinan here too? Why would he attend a boring banquet like this? But more importantly why is he standing here? Xin Siyue quickly snapped out of her trance as quickly as it came. She immediately dismissed the look on her face, and expressionlessly asked, Why are you standing here? Quickly! Leave! Get out of there! She could feel herself pierced by the gazes of the young women around her. She didnt want to stand out. Chen Sinan was about 180 centimeters. While Xin Siyue sat, he only needed to lower his head slightly to see her exquisite makeup as he stood. Her cheeks were flush with a warm blush, and her fair complexion was delicate even without the makeup. She was even more moving when she decided to dress up. Chen Sinans gaze stopped on her eyes, full of life . Chapter 38 - Banquet (3) Chapter 38 Banquet (3) The lasting impression he had of her was when he unexpectedly saw her by the stairwell`her eyes bright and charming but hiding a certain pitiableness to them. He couldnt see those eyes anymore, as all he saw in Xin Siyues eyes was unhappiness. Chen Sinan looked at her eye lines and commented, You didnt do your eyes very well. Xin Siyue didnt know if he was talking about her eyes or saying that her makeup didnt look good. She retorted, I dont care if it looks good. I wasnt planning on letting you see it anyways. Hmph! Its good enough! Did he come here just to criticize my looks? When Xin Qiancheng first saw her, he complimented her, saying she was beautiful. But this man was quite picky`she could feel it in his gaze. After Xin Siyue comforted herself, she didnt mind anymore. After all, it didnt matter whether or not Chen Sinan thought she was beautiful. As long as he thought Sheng Wenyang was pretty, then it was fine. Chen Sinans gaze naturally lowered, descending from her face to her snow-white shoulders and her beautiful collarbone. Even lower, he could see a faint hint of cleavage. The sight was stunning, and even Chen Sinan found himself under its effects before he reluctantly averted his eyes. Xin Siyue retorted as he awkwardly shifted his gaze. She thought that he finally realized that he said the wrong thing, wanting to continue to scold him when he coldly said, Stand up. What? Xin Siyue didnt understand. Chen Sinan shifted his gaze once again to look at her`to looking at her chest intently. Xin Siyues reaction was slow. When she lowered her head to meet the subject of his gaze, it finally hit her, and she stood up. You pervert! she angrily exclaimed. Chen Sinan curled his lips, Youre the one not paying attention. Why are you blaming me? Only you would look there. If you didnt wear that, who would look at it? Chen Sinan, youre twisting my words. You` Do you guys know each other? a pleasant female voice interjected as the two were arguing. Xin Siyue was too tired to pay any attention to Chen Sinan. She turned in the direction of the voice to see a beautiful woman with wavy hair. The woman wore a dainty short skirt and was looking eagerly at Chen Sinan. Xin Siyue had met her earlier. She seemed to be the granddaughter of the host. She seemed to be older than her by only a few years; she was beautiful, gentle, and had a pleasant voice. Xin Siyue took a few more glances at her before smiling at Chen Sinan. Her eyes seemed to be saying, Look! Look! Your peach blossom is here. Chen Sinan understood the look of pleasure she adopted whenever she saw anothers misfortune. He didnt even turn to look at the unexpected guest. He suddenly smiled charmingly, and before she could react, he reached over to take Xin Siyue in his arms. When Xin Siyue felt his warm palm on her waist, she was shocked! As this happened, she tripped and threw herself on his chest. Xin Siyue was confused. Crap! Chen Sinan, whats wrong with you! I stepped on my dress because of you! She buried her head in his embrace, and Chen Sinan used the opportunity to place his other hand on her head`preventing her from escaping. He smiled and coaxed, Be good, now. When we get home, I can sleep in the study if you want to punish me. Hu, hu, hu You bastard! Youve got a problem! Xin Siyue desperately wanted to scream her thoughts. While the other woman was stunned by the scene, Chen Sinan brought Xin Siyue out as she found herself half-carried and half-embraced by him. Chapter 39 - Shield Chapter 39 Shield Xin Siyue could finally breathe, but she was angry. She was also feeling unwell so she didnt have it in her to scold Chen Sinan. The moment he let her go, she immediately waved her hand over in an exaggerated motion, clearly feeling flustered. In response, Chen Sinan grabbed onto her flailing wrist. What are you doing? he asked as his face clouded with gloom. After suffering this mans torment, Xin Siyues hair was messy and ruined. Even without looking in a mirror, she knew that she had lost her elegance and grace. Her chest heaved visibly from anger. Xin Siyue suddenly pulled out the small hairpin that kept her hairstyle together and let her soft, long black hair fall. She fiercely scolded, Shouldnt I be the one asking you? Did you forget to take your meds when you left the house? Xin Siyue had regretted what she said the instant it came out of her mouth. If Chen Sinan forgot to take his medicine, then she had definitely left her brain at home! How dare she scold Chen Sinan without a second thought?! Her body trembled as she felt his dangerous gaze. As Chen Sinan spitefully narrowed his eyes, she thought of how her story would meet its tragic end. She calmed herself, but still felt her heart beating wildly. If she truly upset Chen Sinan, he could bring her to her death in minutes. How could she have done something so rash?! Xin Siyues legs went soft. If she decided to grovel and apologize to Chen Sinan, shed be going against how she had portrayed herself thus far. If she did, would she lose her pride? Didnt the saying go, one can lose anything but dignity and imposing manner? What would happen if she continued to play her stubborn act til the end? Or would it be better if she admitted that she was wrong? But during her indecisiveness, Chen Sinan did something that made her blood run cold. He took off his jacket and draped it considerately over her shoulders. He even helped her pull the jacket closed, while she stood stunned. You made a fuss and beat me up already. Dont anger yourself. Look at how little youre wearing, are you sure youd want to go out like that? he said in a gentle voice. Shoot! Youre the one who forced me out, okay?! After criticizing him in her thoughts, she realized she was paying attention to the wrong thing! What was Chen Sinan planning now that he suddenly started acting gentle? As if on cue, the moment Xin Siyue turned around, a handful of beautiful women stared directly at the two of them. Xin Siyue understood it all. Chen Sinan was using her as a shield, and she needed to play along in order to escape. Xin Siyue was in no mood to put on a monkey show with him, so she turned around, acting depressed. Take me back home. If you have any problems, tell me on the way, she said helplessly. Xin Siyue knew that he was going to use her, but she also knew her request wasnt one he could reject. She forced him to bring her home in order to close off their act perfectly because, in the long run, he couldnt risk people knowing it was all a ruse. Chen Sinan looked at the lonely view of her behind, knitting his eyebrows pensively. He then followed after her. On the way back, Xin Siyue leaned her head against the back of the car seat. Her hazy eyes glazed over the bright lights passing by. She was bored. After Chen Sinan took a few minutes to get accustomed to the dark, he couldnt help but look at her. She already took off the suit jacket as soon as she got in the car, folding it and placing it in the back seat. The urgent sensation that he sensed from her was really as Mao Shiyuan described`she was avoiding him like he was a scorpion. Chapter 40 - Let Me Go Ch.40 Let Me Go The urgent sensation that he sensed from her was really as Mao Shiyuan described`she was avoiding him like he was a scorpion. Thinking of the conversation Xin Siyue and Ji Yi had, Chen Sinans face filled with sadness. Xin Siyue felt his gaze and thought about it before sitting up straight. Her eyes fixed on the unceasing red numbers in front of the crossroads, she said, I know why you acted so oddly tonight, with a serious tone in her voice. Chen Sinan still kept his bitter demeanor and didnt respond. She continued, Although Im very unhappy that you used me to protect your peach blossom, know that Im not your enemy. Even if Im unwilling, you can still mess with me to get me to do what you want. Xin Siyue felt as small as an ant while talking to him. Her voice steadily lost its will and energy. Whats done is done. Ill take responsibility for the gossip and PR. But I hope that were done after this. Although I dont remember anything, I get the feeling that I was often irrational and caused you a lot of trouble in the past. Im going to apologize to you seriously for everything. If we ever meet again, lets just act as if we dont know each other. Ever since she got in the car, Xin Siyue had been mulling over it, and finally mustered enough courage to tell him. She didnt want to be hopelessly muddled with Chen Sinan and experience the same ending as in the book, especially after all her hard work to avoid its setup. She was insignificant, and if Chen Sinan wanted to play her, he neednt sacrifice anything to do so. She couldnt endure that risk. She was scared that her family would actually become bankrupt`that they would die out violently. Xin Siyue couldnt help but sigh. Chen Sinan, I let you down in the past, but please have mercy. Please let me go. As she made her final request, she felt as if the heat welling up beneath her eyes would finally make her cry. She was innocent. She felt wronged. She had crossed over, not knowing why, and ended up worrying each and every day, knowing that she might really lose everything like in the books ending. Why was he still making things hard for her even though she tried her best to avoid him? Chen Sinans slender fingers softly tapped the steering wheel. When he saw that she was about to cry, he shifted his attention and looked away in irritation. He looked out in front of him, thinking about what he felt deep in his heart after hearing her beg, and how he couldnt explain what he was feeling. His face darkened, becoming more and more terrifying. Xin Siyue detected the slight change of atmosphere as well. She thought that she had annoyed him because he didnt like seeing women cry, so she tried her best to hold in all the sadness. However, before she could fully hide her feelings, she suddenly heard Chen Sinan say emotionlessly, Get out. What? Xin Siyue was stunned. Get out! Dont make me repeat myself again. Xin Siyue was frightened by his icy expression, obediently opening the car door and leaving. The moment her feet touched the ground, she heard the sound of the cars ignition, and when she snapped out of her trance, it had already left her sight. Xin Siyue stood in the wind by the cold crossroad. The fact that she was forced out of the car by Chen Sinan, suddenly hit her. She also realized that she didnt bring a phone. What was most tragic was that she had left her handbag in the car! A breeze blew by, and Xin Siyue felt the unrelenting cold assault her shoulders. Chen Sinan! You call yourself a man?! Xin Siyue scolded Chen Sinans eighteen generations while she walked. After Chen Sinan drove the car for a distance, all the while seeing how blurry her weak body was becoming in the rearview mirror, he eventually stopped driving. Chapter 41 - Turned Down Ch.41 Turned Down Chen Sinan gazed deeply into the rearview mirror and couldnt help but curse. He took out his phone, about to call Mao Shiyuan to pick her up, when he saw her slowly walking in her heels. He couldnt help but put his phone down. Someone had quite the attitude! He parked the car on the side of the road and rolled down the window. The wind blew in and lifted his irritation away. He placed one hand by the edge of the window, his gaze still fixated on the stubborn figure that occasionally switched from walking to stopping. Xin Siyue thought of asking Xin Qiancheng for help after borrowing a passerbys phone, but when she thought of the lecherous male gazes she had received, she stopped thinking about it immediately. She realized that she didnt know anyones phone number in this world to begin with. She had saved them in her phone and never paid them any more attention. She also discovered that she didnt even know her own number. Xin Siyue raised her hand to her face, massaging her forehead. Heaven really wants to ruin me! After walking for almost twenty minutes, Xin Siyue suddenly noticed that the black car up ahead was no longer moving. Xin Siyue abruptly had a thought` Hm, Chen Sinan isnt the type to show compassion `before she wisely stopped herself from thinking any further in that regard. But the closer the car was, Xin Siyue couldnt help but feel that he was in there. He didnt abandon her, but that wasnt necessarily a good thing. Did he want to torture her because he had nothing else to do? What was his problem? When Xin Siyue moved closer to the car, she wanted to walk directly past the window. She didnt want to talk to him at all! If she did, she was afraid that she might just throw her heels at his face! Seeing that she was still in a fit, Chen Sinan had no choice but to get out of the car and stop her. Xin Siyue proudly raised her chin and coldly said, Get lost! There wasnt a person in the world besides Xin Siyue who dared tell him to get lost. Chen Sinan took a deep breath before saying, Lets make a deal` He couldnt even finish his proposal before Xin Siyue rejected without a hint of hesitation. No! Chen Sinan couldnt help but smile at her angry expression. I didnt say what it was yet. Im not interested no matter what it is. She stubbornly looked in another direction, unwilling to look at his face. Chen Sinan stopped smiling and looked at her. As long as it has to do with me, youre not interested, right? You saw the video? Xin Siyue asked, suddenly remembering what Mao Shiyuan had done. Seeing that he hadnt deny it, Xin Siyue smiled slightly. This will save me breath, then. Im entirely uninterested and dont want anything to do with you. I always thought that you wanted the same, too. Chen Sinan wanted to retort with, How do you know what Im thinking? But before he opened her mouth, she continued, I think it isnt your style to try building a relationship with me. I understand you, Chen Sinan, so lets stop tormenting each other. Why dont we just stay on opposite sides of the world? If you really dont want to see me, I wont attend these banquets in the future and focus on learning, alright? And if youre still worried about me staying in Sheng Jin City, then Ill just leave, alright? Seeing how far she stooped to tell him all that, Chen Sinan could feel what she was really trying to tell him: She didnt care about him at all! She wanted to be far away from him! Chen Sinan was displeased with how things had ended up, suddenly remembering how that night alone, hed already been rejected by the same woman standing in front of him multiple times. Xin Siyue was really something. Chapter 42 - Parting Ch.42 Parting That night, the two of them parted on bad terms. Chen Sinan wanted to bring Xin Siyue back, but she had refused til the very end. She stared at Chen Sinans gloomy face. How about you call my brother and let him pick me up? she bravely suggested. Chen Sinan looked at her expressionlessly, but eventually agreed and took out his phone. Number, he demanded while unlocking his phone screen. Huh? Chen Sinan looked at how bewildered she was. He was nearly unable to hold in his anger as he said, Xin Qianchengs phone number. Xin Siyue blinked a few times. I dont know. Chen Sinan was speechless. He tossed his phone back in the car and opened the door. Get in, he ordered. Xin Siyue was determined not to yield to him. No! Xin Siyue! I wont get in your car! Xin Siyue continued. Hmph! You already drove me out once. If I go back in, wouldnt I basically be saying I have no pride? Chen Sinan had never encountered anyone who disliked him that much. People needed to know that even if someone begged to hitch a ride with him, he wouldnt even bat an eye! Chen Sinan was seething. Whatever! Despite her refusal, Xin Siyue urgently pulled on him. Dont. Why not call Mao Shiyuan or Ji Yi to pick me up and bring me back to school? They were the only people who she was familiar with, and Xin Siyue couldnt think of anyone else who would come pick her up in the middle of the night. Chen Sinan looked coldly at her and asked, You want them to know what happened between us? Youre not afraid of being made a laughing stock? Xin Siyue didnt think of that, but still replied, Either way, they think its impossible for us to be together, so no worries! Plus, youve told me that Im already a laughingstock to everyone. Why would I be afraid if more people did? Chen Sinan maintained his icy stare. Hmph, well youre positive. If I wasnt positive, who knows how many times I wouldve died by now, Xin Siyue replied carelessly. In the past, when her parents fought over her fathers affair`her mother had to stay in the hospital for a few months due to the beatings she suffered, and her father didnt even visit once. He abandoned the family for another woman without an ounce of shame, and she had to get several jobs to survive and pay her tuition. She thought of committing suicide, so she could be free from all her problems, all the hardship. But she knew life was still infinitely beautiful, and she could endure it no matter how terrible it was to her. Nothing seemed that bad. Xin Siyue decided that shed never hold those bad memories close to her heart. Even if she occasionally became upset or sullen, her emotions would shortly float away like smoke. The most important thing was to have hope; nothing else mattered. As she seemed to straddle the line between joking and serious, Chen Sinan had no choice but to guess the validity of her statement. Xin Siyue smiled, no longer wanting to think about it. It would probably be too difficult for her to return to her world anyways. The past wasnt important anymore. How about this? Let me borrow $200 now, and Ill have my brother return ten times the amount. Chen Sinan could feel his pulse pounding in his temples. After Xin Siyue finished, she discovered his expression turned gloomy. Did she say something wrong? Chen Sinans demeanor showed his irritation as he said, Get on. Xin Siyue shook her head. Get. On. No! Chen Sinan was too tired to argue anymore, so he proceeded to bend over and carry her over his shoulder. Damn! Could you make me any angrier?! This is how you carry a sack, not a woman! She felt the blood rushing to her head. Xin Siyue slapped Chen Sinans long legs, screaming, Hey! What are you doing? Put me down! Im gonna be sick! Im going to be really, really sick! Chen Sinan, you better put me down! Chen Sinan shoved her in the car. Itd be so much easier if you were unconscious, he said through clenched teeth. You! Xin Siyue sat in the passenger seat`her face was almost abnormally flushed. She panted while leaning against the window, with only enough energy left to give Chen Sinan a murderous stare. Conversely, Chen Sinan didnt even have the energy to pay attention to her. If he treated her nicely, shed quickly get out of hand again. Quickly! Dont you dare come out. Chen Sinan was once again speechless. Why was she treating him like he was ugly? Chen Sinan`who had never been disliked by others`gave Xin Siyue one final sharp gaze before he turned around and sped off. Seeing his car finally drive off, Xin Siyue let out a well-deserved sigh. She turned around with a smile to greet Xin Qiancheng. Why are you back so early, brother? Xin Qiancheng looked at the car disappearing into the night, before shifting his attention to her. I couldnt find you back then, and when I tried calling, I also realized that you didnt bring your phone. Mhm, I forgot it Xin Qiancheng pointed in the direction of the car. Who was that? Ah, no one in particular, Xin Siyue said, planning to change the topic. Brother, I want your help with something. What is it? The two talked as they strolled in. Xin Siyue asked sincerely, Are there any ways to bring me somewhere non-local? Chapter 43 - Transfer Ch.43 Transfer Somewhere non-local? Xin Qiancheng didnt quite understand what she was saying. Xin Siyue nodded before continuing, I want to leave Sheng Jin City, but I dont want to leave the country, either. Life outside the country would be tiresome, and especially lonely if I was left by myself. As long as it isnt Sheng Jin City, Id be fine with somewhere in the country as well. Wait. Tell me the reason first. I dont want to be here because I dont want to see Chen Sinan, Xin Siyue answered truthfully. She knew from the book that Xin Qiancheng was against the two of them being together. She thought that if she told him she wanted to leave Chen Sinan; Xin Qiancheng would help her no matter what. Xin Qiancheng thought deeply before asking, You still like him? No, no! Xin Siyue frantically waved her hands. It might have to do with what I did in the past. I dont remember anything, but Im sure that what I did brought a lot of problems for me. I just want a peaceful life a calm one. Im not saying I want to drop out of school, but I want to learn in a different environment`in a place where no one knows me or Chen Sinan. When Xin Siyue finished, still aware of Xin Qianchengs hesitation, she promised, Dont worry, brother. I will come back in two years at the longest; thats when I graduate. Mom and dad wont be against it either, that way. The only fear Xin Qiancheng had, was that his parents wouldnt agree to this. They treated her like their treasure. She was only leaving for two years to gain experience and forget about Chen Sinan. Xin Qiancheng nodded in response. Which city would you want to go to? Which cities are there? Xin Siyue thought, as if she was asking about different types of food. Xin Qiancheng raised his eyebrows. Was her memory the only thing his sister lost? Xin Siyue seemed to understand his concern and laughed sheepishly. She had no choice. She wasnt even sure if this world had the cities she knew in her previous one. In order to disguise how dumb and uninformed she was, she said, You can make the decision, brother. Hmm, then you should go over as an exchange student. That would be the best way. Xin Siyue nodded again. Right! Not bad. When can you confirm the date? Xin Qiancheng seemed pensive as he stared at her. When would you like to leave? The quicker the better `Xin Siyue thought about it`Tomorrow is best. Wait, that feels a bit rushed. How about the day after? Three days from now. Xin Qiancheng decided to fix a time for his indecisive sister. Okay! As expected, Xin Siyue agreed. The next day, she went to explain her plans to their parents. Though they couldnt bear to see her go, they eventually agreed, persuaded by the reasons Xin Siyue had made up on the spot. Xin Qiancheng was made to prepare everything. When Xin Siyue returned to school, she heard from Zhong Qin that there were two spots for exchange students to A College. No one knew who was going to arrive. But Xin Siyue paid little attention to that. She, instead, started to admire Xin Qiancheng. He was handsome and acted professionally swift! By the evening, the department notified that besides Xin Siyue`who was an exchange student`a senior sister in her third year was able to take the remaining spot. That senior sister had exceptional grades and was very strong in all aspects. It was understandable that she was admitted. But what about Xin Siyue? Why was she able to? When Xin Siyue returned to the dorms, she heard some girls by the staircase who werent happy about the decision. She softly laughed giving no more than a slight glance in their direction and declaring, Because Im Xin Siyue! Each and every girls face turned sinister and ugly. Xin Siyue shook her head. She couldnt be bothered to care about what they thought, but she did admit that she often bullied people based on their status. She had experienced two lives. Since ancient times, no one could choose their background. No one could choose the power they were born into. You were simply destined to work harder and endure more if you werent lucky at birth. Xin Siyue couldnt help but laugh. As expected, power and wealth were the good things in life. No wonder people relentlessly chased after them until death. Xin Siyue packed her luggage when she returned, and when it was time to go, she was seen off by her entire family. Xin Siyue listened to her parents ramblings`making sure that she ate her meals on time, that she slept early, and similar rabble. She agreed to everything. If you have any problems, call me, or find A Colleges principal. Ive already talked to him, Xin Qiancheng assured. Okay. Thank you, brother. Mhm. As Xin Siyue said her final goodbyes, she felt all manner of feelings swell up in her heart. Other than a slight distaste for the situation, all-in-all, she was looking forward to what awaited her. A new day would shine. Chapter 44 - A City Xin Siyue had only lived in A College for a week, but she was already beginning to think that the quality of life and education here was much better than college life in Sheng Jing City. In Sheng Jin City, all the students attention would be on her because of Chen Sinan. Even if theyd never forget her, it was only because of everything she had done in the past. When she was reading the book, she felt like the second female lead always had disaster by her side. But now that she had become the leadoh, how irritating it was for others to constantly remind you of your tumultuous past! So, the change in environment made her feel amazing`beautiful, even. Xin Qiancheng already talked to her departments teachers and A Colleges principal, so they all took care of her. The students also occasionally helped her out, most likely in order to show her the best of the schools hospitality. Xin Siyue sighed, thinking that this was how a normal school life should be like. During the first few days following her arrival, her popularity grew quickly. Not only was she beautiful, but it was rare that someone like her openly enjoyed learning. Most importantly, she was easy to get along with. She would greet every teacher and peer she came across`sweetly, and without ever failing to. Over time, she had left a favorable impression on everyone. Xin Siyue was incomparably happy. It was a good decision to come to A City! Her days were bright and fulfilling. When Zhong Qin called her and heard about how well things were going at A College, he had the urge to fly over and seek shelter there as well. Xin Siyue felt that she learned a lot from A College, as she surrounded herself with good, diligent people. She had improved in all manner of ways. When she moved to A City, she immediately contacted her new dance and piano teacher on her second day there. Her plan was to take two to three hours every night to learn both. In the past, Xin Siyue never learned how to dance. Her movements felt rigid, but since her body was originally the second female leads, it had already become accustomed to dancing at a young age. Much to her surprise, it wasnt hard to do pirouettes, or even splits and the like. As she learned, she could feel her senses sharpening when she heard music. She often didnt know what move to do, but it was as if her body made the decision for her. The frequent praise Xin Siyue received from her teacher made her truly happy. Meanwhile, Chen Sinan and Mao Shiyuan were getting ready for their new company and were extremely busy. Chen Sinan stood at the forefront of the huge Shen Company, bogged with work nearly 100% of the time. He made a habit of drinking coffee at night, when returning from business trips. One night, Mao Shiyuan couldnt help but warn him, Work is important, but you shouldnt treat your body like it isnt. Chen Sinan placed his mug down, not once breaking his attention from his files as he absently replied, I know. Mao Shiyuan knew it wasnt a sincere response. He leaned by the corner of Chen Sinans desk and stared at the workaholic. I really should find a woman to take care of you. Chen Sinan naturally didnt bother with him. Mao Shiyuan thought carefully before saying, Sheng Wenyang is in America, and who knows when shell come back. Meanwhile, Xin Siyue is in A City. She said shed be back in two years, but who knows? Its still closer than America, though. If I want to call her` Chen Sinan raised his head and looked sharply at him, stopping his train of thought. She went to A City? he asked. She? The sudden question had stunned Mao Shiyuan, and it took a moment for him to realize that Chen Sinan was asking about Xin Siyue. He could only nod stiffly under such an intense gaze. Chapter 45 - Coincidence or Not? Chapter 45 Coincidence or Not? Mao Shiyuan felt it was odd how Chen Sinan expression changed so suddenly. He pondered more before asking, You didnt know that she went to A College as an exchange student? Chen Sinan quickly lost the energy he previously demonstrated. How come I never heard that our school and A Colleges school had this type of friendship? he asked, with his gaze still set on Mao Shiyuan. After hearing Chen Sinans question, Mao Shiyuan was suddenly reminded of what he was going to say before being interrupted. I really dont think Id be saying this if you didnt remind me, but our school has never cooperated with A College. This is the first time, and what a coincidence that Xin Siyue took the opportunity to move. That was one hell of a coincidence! What coincidence?! Someone definitely made it happen, and it was either Xin Siyue or Xin Qiancheng, Chen Sinan thought to himself, as his demeanor turned icy. She probably couldnt have done it, given how unintelligent she acted. Xin Qiancheng mustve been the one. What was the point? Was it to avoid him? The more Chen Sinan thought, the more he thought it was true. Lately, Xin Siyue wanted to convey only one thing, and it was that she wanted nothing to do with him. Why did she suddenly change her major? Why did she suddenly move out of her apartment? Wasnt it obvious enough when she decided to escape Sheng Jin City to A City while he was on a business trip? The thoughts spun in his head, giving him the kind of pensive gaze, he would never have otherwise. What she said by the road was true, and she was quick to do what she said. Hmph. Xin Siyue, Ill admit you have some tact. Mao Shiyuan was close enough to feel the strong, imposing emotions that Chen Sinan was practically exuding. He quietly retreated back by a few steps, and mustered the courage to ask, Are you angry? Normally, Chen Sinan wouldnt be angry. Those who made him angry would suffer from his wrath, and he would use everything at his disposal to make sure they did. Hmph, why would I be angry? Xin Siyuethat womanisnt worth the time Id spend being angry. If she wants to run away, then let her run away. Id like to see where she runs off to, Chen Sinan replied. Hearing the dark, unfiltered spite in Chen Sinans voice nearly turned Mao Shiyuan to stone. Xin Siyue, in A City, sneezed at the same time. Everything was good in A City but was just a bit too hot in the summer. Her class had many cases of heatstroke. Xin Siyue tried avoiding it as best she could, even to the point of spending half an hour in the evening to go for a run, but she had heatstroke as well. Being sick in the summer was no laughing matter. Her body alternated between burning hot and cripplingly cold, and she constantly felt dizzy and robbed of energy. Xin Siyue stayed in the dorms for half a day, took some medicine, and went to sleep. A fever even appeared, but she didnt feel any better. Xin Siyue figured she needed to go to the hospital, but she didnt even have the energy to flag a taxi. Instead, she called 120 and when the rescue workers arrived, she made herself proud by opening the door in her weakly state. After that last display of willpower, she was completely passed out well before arriving at the hospital. She had no idea how long she slept; she was at the hospital when she woke. It was the middle of the night, and the place was empty. She noticed that her IV was almost done and pressed a service bell to signal her nurse to pull the needle out. When the nurse saw her finally awake, she smiled and said, Well, youre calm. You were gravely ill, but you didnt come to the hospital until it got this bad. Chapter 46 - Kindness or a Trap? Chapter 46 Kindness or a Trap? All Xin Siyue had the energy for was to feel her chapped lips. She couldnt respond and only thought about rolling her eyes`she didnt have the energy to do that either, of course. If she knew that sickness could be so harsh, she wouldve gone to the hospital immediately. To think that her new body would disappoint her in such a way When she was sick in the past, she had gotten halfway better just from sleeping. Xin Siyue concluded that wealthy children had naturally fragile bodies. The nurse saw that she hadnt fully recovered yet, and reminded her again, Its really not good for you to be alone right now. Call your parents and have them come over. Xin Siyue didnt want to call. They were at Sheng Jin City, anyway, and there was no point in making them worried. When the nurse saw the reluctant look in her young patients eyes, she decided to ask, Are your parents not here? Xin Siyue thought that the nurse really understood her, so she nodded her head. Do you have a boyfriend? If you do, call him over. If not, call your classmates, the nurse continued. Thank you. Xin Siyue said, stopping the nurse from saying any more. She had no boyfriend, and she just met her classmates for a week. She felt embarrassed having someone take care of her in the middle of the night. Xin Siyue had nothing to do, so she went back to sleep, only waking up the second day from hunger. The rumbling of her stomach was becoming unbearable, but she couldnt go out herself, so she thought about getting her nurse to bring some light food for her instead. She had just pressed the service bell when her door suddenly opened. Xin Siyue was taken aback by how fast it swung open when she suddenly was suddenly greeted by the sight of a particular noblewoman standing by the door. It Chen Sinans mother, Weng Yinlin. Xin Siyue was shocked. Why did Weng Yinlin appear in her room? Unable to react, she stared wide-eyed at the woman wearing a light purple dress. Behind her were her secretary and driver. As she entered, the exquisite handbag she held came into view and left Xin Siyue silently awed. Her grandiose fashion paired perfectly with such an elegant figure. But no matter what she wore, she was pleasing to the eyes. Seeing as the bed-ridden woman before her was awestruck, Weng Yinlin smiled and said, Hello, Miss Xin. Do you still remember me? We met before. Xin Siyue nodded stiffly. She didnt understand why Weng Yinlin wanted to see her. Weng Yinlin laughed, Yesterday, I was at the hospital for some business and saw the doctors push you into the emergency room. I thought it was you but didnt dare to be certain. After finding the doctor and making sure, I came to visit. Have I disturbed you, Miss Xin? Xin Siyues heart trembled at how polite and respectful Weng Yinlin was. Wasnt Weng Yinlin swift and decisive, commanding her speech with an overbearing tone? Why was she speaking like that? Xin Siyue didnt know how things could have turned so wrong. Even the setup was wrong. Completely wrong. Every time Weng Yinlin talked with the female lead, sparks flew and blood spilled by the gallon. But now that she was acting so amicable, Xin Siyue was terrified. Should she call Xin Qiancheng and ask for help? She wondered where her phone even was. She looked all around and discovered that she didnt bring it! Again! Shoot! Weng Yinlin observed how Xin Xiyues eyes sparkled occasionally, even though her face was sickly pale. How did you become like this? she asked concerningly. She then proceeded to give orders to her secretary`all of them pertaining to Xin Siyue. The demands included everything from preparing her meals to nursing her body. Xin Siyue grew increasingly frightened as she saw it all unfold, wondering if there was a trap waiting for her behind Weng Yinlins kindness. Chapter 47 - A Mother’s Meddling (1) Ch.47 A Mothers Meddling (1) Indeed, Weng Yinlin dug a trap for her son and was waiting for him to jump into it. After meeting with the Lai Family, Weng Yinlin noticed that her son had secretly left. She chased after him only to see him and Xin Qiancheng bickering with one another as soon as they met. At that time she heard Chen Sinan say, My mother said that Xin Family is pretty good and that the young miss of Xin Family is very lovable. Weng Yinlin swore that she had never said those words before. She clearly understood her son whom she had carried in her womb for ten months. He definitely wasnt one to lie, unless he used it as a means to torment someone. She had heard of the Xin Family; they were considered to be a wealthy family in Shengjin City. Compared to many famous families who were arduously working their way up the financial ladder, they were quite a normal family. Was her son interested in the young miss of Xin Family? The fact that she heard a female name from Chen Sinans mouth was already unbelievable enough. Weng Yinlin quietly ordered for her subordinates to investigate the young miss from the Xin Family. However, she was surprised when she found out that this familys young miss was her sons neighbor! Her instincts told her that the two knew each other from way back then and as expected, she was right. Weng Yinlin was surprised that Xin Siyue was originally very interested in her son. But lately, she had been rejecting his contact after having an accident. This mother thought that this was quite amusing, so she ordered someone to pay attention to Xin Siyues actions. Xin Siyue had unexpectedly become an exchange student in A City. Coincidentally, Weng Yinlin made a huge investment in a movie and wanted to pick out a female lead from a school in A City. Besides, there was also a director in A City who had picked out some people as a potential female lead in the movie, so she had come to A City to take a look. Of course, there were staff members who couldve helped her pick out the female lead, so she didnt have to personally come to A City. However, the main reason she had traveled personally to this city wasnt to help pick out a female lead, but to meet Xin Siyue. She wanted to know more about her background, and more importantly, she wanted to see if Xin Siyue could be a potential candidate as her daughter-in-law. When she saw Xin Siyues pitiful and tragic appearance, she thought that she wasnt a bad candidate. She looked delicate and fragile. Her son was someone who didnt know how to be considerate and these types of girls made it easier to arouse his feeling of protection. She was a powerful and independent woman, so she wished that her daughter-in-law was someone with the complete opposite personality. Its best if she had a gentler personality so it would be easier to get along with her. Hm, not bad, not bad. At least, Weng Yinlin didnt detect anything bad from this meeting. When she came out of the hospital room, she called Chen Sinan. Weng Yinlin didnt go straight to the point either. She just smiled and said, I am at A City right now. Because of all sorts of award ceremonies, Weng Yinlin had flown all around the world countless times. She could appear in one city in the morning and another city in the afternoon. But she never called him to tell him about her journey. Chen Sinan had an important meeting in a few minutes, so he asked expressionlessly, Mother, what are you up to again? Weng Yinlin already knew that he would be sensitive to her teasing, but she still tried to tease him, Guess who I saw in A Citys hospital. When I saw her, she looked rather pitiful. She was sick to the point that she almost fainted. The girl rode the ambulance to the hospital alone, and without even someone to take care of her by her side. Seeing her pale face really made my heart ache for her Chen Sinan frowned, What do you really intend to say? Weng Yinlin said, I almost forgot that Feng Dao wanted to discuss the casting process with me. Bye. After she finished talking, she hung up on him. Chapter 48 - A Mother’s Meddling (2) Ch.48 A Mothers Meddling (2) Chen Sinan glanced at the phone after Weng Yinlin had hung up on him. He felt like she had an ulterior motive when she had called him. A City? Hospital? Someone both he and Weng Yinlin knew? After he thought about it for a while, he finally realized who she was talking about. He leaned against the back of the black chair and swiveled the chair. After glancing at his phone thoughtfully, he cant help but yell, Serves you right! After the phone call, Weng Yinlin was looking forward to seeing what Chen Sinan would do. Would he immediately call her back or would he personally come to her and demand to know what happened? However, what disappointed her was that even after quite a while, Chen Sinan didnt take any actions. Weng Yinlin hurriedly made another call to him, This is bad! The doctor said that Xin Siyues illness has relapsed! Im afraid her illness has become even more serious Chen Sinan lazily replied, Arent you there with her? Since you pity her so much, would you actually leave her alone? After he finished attending a meeting, Chen Sinan was finally able to calm himself down. The phone call from Weng Yinlin this morning mightve been a trick she was playing on him. Xin Qiancheng had sent Xin Siyue to A City, how would he leave her to die? Weng Yinlin wondered whether she had given birth to a cold-blooded child. She said, Since you dont want to come here and see her for the last time, then forget about it! After she finished talking, she hung up the phone with a depressed expression on her face. Could it be that her guess was wrong? When Weng Yinlin went to visit Xin Siyue in the evening, Xin Siyue noticed that the girl looked even more upset than she was that morning. Weng Yinlin sat down and chatted with her. Xin Siyue was frightened, but she sincerely asked, Auntie, why did you come here? They werent familiar with each other! Weng Yinlin smiled and said, Ive been away in a foreign country for so long, its always nice to meet up with an old friend. Xin Siyue forced herself to smile. Theyve only met once and they had never said anything to each other before, yet theyre considered to be old friends? In spite of the awkwardness, Weng Yinlin continued to smile. She asked, Ive heard that youve chased after A-Nan before? When Xin Siyue heard the question, she immediately waved her hand. She tried to clear her name and said, No, no, no! After I had fallen and hit my head, Ive forgotten everything. Its probably because I was still young and didnt know any better, so I did some embarrassing things. Auntie, towards Chen Sinan, no, I meant I have no inappropriate ideas regarding Senior Chen! You have no inappropriate ideas regarding A-Nan? Weng Yinlin asked strangely. Yeah. I dont have any! Xin Siyue quickly explained, He is too outstanding. How can someone like me chase after him? Its best if I dont force it. Whats more, isnt there still Sheng Huh? When Weng Yinlin saw that the girl had intentionally stopped talking mid-sentence, so she thoughtlessly gestured for her to continue talking. Xin Siyue had a close call; she almost revealed the existence of Sheng Wenyang. Chen Sinan and his family should resolve this and talk about this among themselves. As a result, Xin Siyue tried to conceal her earlier slip up by saying, Nothing! Auntie, thank you for taking care of me! When I am discharged from the hospital, I will tell my parents and let them thank you! Youre welcome. We are brought together by fate, otherwise, we wouldnt have met. When Xin Siyue saw that Weng Yinlin had put her hand on her right hand, she was frightened to the point that she got goosebumps all over her body. Oh my god! Can you stop acting so kind and gentle? The difference between your attitude was too drastic, its making me afraid! Xin Siyue tried her best to deal with Weng Yinlin. When she saw that Weng Yinlin had finally left her hospital room, she let out a sigh of relief the moment the door closed. She was exhausted as she laid down on her bed. That was too tiring! Xin Siyue cant figure out what Wen Yinlin wanted to do. Chapter 49 - Nightmare Ch.49 Nightmare Because she was so nervous and tense that night, when she fell asleep, she dreamt of the Chen Family and Weng Yinlin. Xin Siyue dreamt of Weng Yinlin scolding her. She dreamt that she was working as a slave in the Chen Family while Weng Yinlin ordered her around The scene changed and she was kneeling in front of the Chen Familys gate. While she faced the tightly closed golden gate, she kowtowed again and again as she tearfully shouted Chen Sinans name, begging him to let the Xin Family off In the dark room, there was no light source besides the occasional ray of light from the moonlight when the curtains swayed to the side. In the small and quiet room, the smell of disinfectant water was clear and distinct. Chen Sinan was still in formal attire when he arrived in her hospital room; he was still dusty from rushing here. Chen Sinan expressionlessly looked down at the unconscious person on the bed. Chen Sinan saw that Xin Siyue looked very uncomfortable, so he leaned towards her and reached out one of his hands to feel the temperature of her forehead. However, before his hand touched her, he heard her say, No! No! Chen Sinan, I beg you, please let me go Chen Sinan was stunned, and his hand froze in midair. He had heard her say those words before. When she had moved out of the apartment complex, she had said those words to him. After she said those words to him, she left Shengjin City. She looked happier and more at ease after she left and went to A City. The expression on Chen Sinans face turned cold as he stared at her. He saw her expression turn more and more uneasy and fearful, to the point where he could almost hear her cry. Chen Sinan narrowed his eyes and slightly leaned down again. He reached out one of his hands and stroked her forehead, which was drenched in sweat and burning hot. He immediately pressed the service bell and tried to wake her up, Xin Siyue, wake up! Wake up! Chen Sinan, I beg of you. Please It seemed like she still hadnt awakened from her nightmare as she tightly clung onto his sleeve and stained his clothes with her tears. When Chen Sinan turned on the light, he saw that her face was very pale. She was biting her lips as tears drops continuously flowed out from the corners of her eyes. He quickly helped her into his embrace and tried to coax her, Okay, okay! I will agree to whatever you say! Xin Siyue couldnt hear a thing as she was still immersed in her nightmare. Chen Sinan wanted to wake her up, but his efforts were in vain. When the doctor finally came, Xin Siyue finally calmed down and quietly fell asleep after he gave her a shot. Chen Sinan saw that she had stopped crying but the tear marks on her face had not dried up yet. Without saying another word, he directly said, Give her the paperwork to transfer to another hospital! What? The doctor still didnt understand what was going on. Chen Sinan ignored the doctor and directly called his assistant to contact the best doctor in A City. Xin Siyue, who remained asleep, didnt know that she had changed hospitals because of Chen Sinan. When she finally awakened, she was struck with a terrible headache. There was a buzzing sound in her head, while a sticky and uncomfortable feeling spread all over her body. In a daze, Xin Siyue opened her eyes. She wanted to push away her blanket because it was too hot. When she raised her arm to push away her blanket, she was restrained by the person beside her. Stop! This voice Xin Siyues body stiffened when she heard the voice. She slowly raised her head and just as she had expected, she came face to face with the person from her dream. Xin Siyue immediately remembered the terrifying nightmare she had last night. It seemed so real that it looked as if it was about to happen to her. Afraid, she hurriedly pushed Chen Sinan away from her, but she didnt know that there was an IV drip attached to her other arm. Just as she pushed him away, she had accidentally pulled out the needle from her other arm. The pain from forcefully pulling the needle out made her wrinkle her eyebrows in pain. Chapter 50 - Why Are You Here? Ch.50 Why Are You Here? Have you gone crazy? Just doing this and you still dare come? Xin Siyue almost couldnt breathe. Oh my god! Why was Chen Sinan here? She remembered how miserable she was in her dream last night. Now, right after she woke up, the first person she saw was him! She released a sigh and asked in a dissatisfied manner, Why are you here? Chen Sinans fingers were pressed against the back of her hands. He could clearly feel that the temperature of her hand was different from what it would normally be. However, once he heard her interrogative tone, he became upset. Isnt this what he should be asking her? Why did she decided to leave Shengjin City, and come to this godforsaken place? Chen Sinan was very unhappy, so despite the fact that Xin Siyue waited for a long time, she still received no reply. She gave up on his answer and thought: Hmph! You dont want to say it? I dont want to know the reason anyways! The two people remained silent for a moment, and the atmosphere gradually turned strange. In a short while, Xin Siyue broke the stalemate: Chen Sinan, help me call Xin Qiancheng. Eh? Chen Sinan stared at her and noticed that she leaned against the bed with a pale face. She looked as if she had nothing to live for. Xin Siyue slowly opened her eyes and said, Have my brother come over and take care of me. She knew that if she called her brother, he would come over and arrange someone else to take care of his matters, even if he was extremely busy. Xin Siyue didnt want to contact him before because she didnt want to trouble him. However, that would still be better than having Chen Sinan by her side. Chen Sinan had deliberately changed his plans, pushed back his meetings, and rushed over. Around midnight, when he had arrived, he hadnt even bothered to book lodging. He had gone directly to the hospital to find her. He then transferred her to another hospital, found the best doctor for her, and accompanied her for the rest of the night. However, when she woke up, she didnt even recognize his efforts; this was such an eye-opener. Chen Sinan didnt care about whether or not the back of her hand was still bleeding. He stood up, folded his arms across his chest, and coldly gazed down at her: Xin Siyue, the word heartless really does suit you. Xin Siyu was stupefied: What do you mean by that? The literal meaning. Chen Sinan walked to the side and picked up his suit jacket. He exited the hospital room without looking back, Im not kind enough to help you call Xin Qiancheng. Whether youre dead or alive has nothing to do with me! This irritating attitude and tone Xin Siyue leaned against the bed and felt that she was angered to the point where her all her internal organs were steaming. She didnt think before firing back, You really think too highly of yourself! Whether Im alive or dead, did it ever had anything to do with you? Chen Sinan, dont try to fool around with me anymore. I will live much better that way. Ha. Chen Sinan snorted and left without looking back. When had he ever fooled around with her? The one who was always trying to entangle with him was her! Her words seriously caused people to be angry! At that time, his brain mustve really been confused, causing him to run all the way to City A to listen to her biting sarcasm! After Chen Sinan left the hospital room, he closed the door with a loud bang, leaving Xin Siyue shocked inside. She didnt understand, why was Chen Sinan so angry? Theres no need to bother about him! Anyways, he was indisputably the male lead! It was fine if he doesnt appear before her! After Xin Siyue finished thinking, she pressed the service bell. When the nurse came in, she asked in bewilderment, How come the nurse from yesterday did not come? The nurse displayed a professional smile. After hearing Xin Siyues words, she turned to her and replied, After you came in last night, I was the one who took care of you. Ah? Xin Siyue finally reacted and looked at her surroundings. It was different from the one she was in before. She hesitated a bit before asking, So I had transferred rooms? No. You came here in the middle of the night yesterday. Xin Siyue was shocked, Who helped me transfer hospitals? She was quite comfortable there. How come she was suddenly transferred? Chapter 51 - A Brother’s Worries Ch.51 A Brothers Worries The serious nurse glanced at her and cleaned the remaining traces of blood around her stitches. She replied in an even tone: Your boyfriend. Boyfriend? Xin Siyue felt like she was struck by lightning. Who was the boyfriend? Chen Sinan? What sort of conspiracy was Chen Sinan trying to plan? Xin Siyue felt that it had something to do with his mother; otherwise, how can two busy adults appear at the same time in City A? Xin Siyue did not have the energy to think about it. She was incredibly hungry and couldnt wait to have breakfast. Surprisingly, a man wearing a suit was the one who delivered it to her. Xin Siyu saw that the man looked to be around 27 years old. Although he had an honest air about him, she would not eat anything of an unknown origin. The man knew that and was prepared: I am Mrs. Chens assistant, and Im here to deliver food to Miss Xin. Weng Yinlin told you to send it? The assistant was stunned to hear her directly call out the name of the bosss mother. He lightly nodded. Xin Siyue bit her lip and hesitated on whether or not to eat, Wengno Auntie. Why did she ask you to bring breakfast for me? In the past, wasnt it the nurse auntie whove always sent it? Thisthe assistant blushed in shame. He hurriedly made up a lie, Its just that she wasnt feeling well today. Xing Siyue had some doubts; however, when she tasted the porridge, she found that it was very delicious. She couldnt help but eat a few extra bites. After the assistant left the hospital, he went to the parking lot. Just as he entered the car, he hurriedly turned his head and saw the face of his boss sitting in the backseat. His expression was very gloomy. It seems like he shouldnt be provoked. In the small enclosed space of the car, the atmosphere was tense and scary. While the assistant was trying to be smart by keeping silent, he heard his boss asked without raising his head, Have you eaten? The assistant subconsciously wanted to say no! He had gone more than halfway across a city to buy breakfast and he had to wait in line for a long time before he was able to order breakfast. Yet, he wasnt even able to eat a bite of it! However, the no in his mouth was quickly changed to, I have eaten! He would only think that his boss was truly concerned about him if there was a hole in his brain! His Boss was clearly trying to ask about the young lady in the VIP ward! After Chen Sinan heard his reply, his gaze turned unclear. No longer wanting to continue the conversation, he switched the topic and said, Call Xin Qiancheng and explain to him about the current situation. A say what almost flew from the assistant out of impulse. He knew that if he really did say that, he would have to pack up and go home afterwards. So, he pretended to calmly nod his head. After Xin Qiancheng received the call, he was left speechless. He immediately called Xin Siyue, but her phone was turned off. At dusk, Xin Siyue leaned against the window in boredom and stared out at the sunset. Suddenly, the door to her room was pushed open by someone rushing in. She turned in surprise and was met with a black-faced Xin Qiancheng who had a scary look in his eyes. She disappointingly shrank back her shoulders, then used a fawning tone: Brother, why did you come? After Xin Qiancheng learned that she had been sick for so long without contacting anyone, he was extremely angry. He wanted to crack open her head to see what was stuffed in there! Xin Siyue! You are preposterous! If you dare to hide such a big matter again, you should roll back to Shengjin City! What does one Chen Sinan count as? If you want to avoid him there are thousands of other methods you can use to do so! You dont need to go through this much pain! Xin Qincheng thought about how their parents had protected her, cradled her in the palm of their hands since she was young, and how pained they felt about her going off abroad to study by herself. That was still fine but falling sick for so many days and not contacting anyone was not! Chapter 52 - Couple’s Fight Ch.52 Couples Fight However, Xin Siyue didnt think like that! In the past, while she was studying abroad by herself, it was a normal thing for her to take care of everything herself whenever she fell sick. How come Chen Sinan and Xin Qiancheng were acting so abnormal? Xin Siyue quickly put on a smile and followed up, Brother, theres nothing wrong about me. Look, dont I look just fine? Xing Qiancheng glared at her and said, You shut up! Xin Siyue wanted to spit but had no choice other than to obediently shut up. Even though she felt that she can be discharged tomorrow with no problems, Xin Qiancheng still made her go through a full-body exam. She was only discharged after Xin Qiancheng received the report saying that everything was normal. Unfortunately, on the day of her discharge, Weng Yinlin purposefully came in to visit her. Xin Siyue was panic-stricken! Chen Mama, what situation is this? Weng Yinlin was disappointed at her useless son. She knew that he was on the plane to A City and verified that he went to the hospital afterward. She thought excitedly that she should leave some privacy for the couples to interact with each other for a few days. Weng Yinlin was busy with casting, so when she remembered to ask about the progress between the two, she found out that several people discovered Chen Sinans trip to A City on the first day he arrived. Due to that, he was so busy that he didnt go to the hospital at all on the second day in A City. Even though hes still in A City, it looked like he came here for work by making himself as busy as the president of a country. Weng Yinlin called him and asked him what happened. With his stubborn temper he replied, You dont have to care about this affair, and even if you do, theres not going to be any result. Humph, she doesnt care about him, he would not rush to coax her. However, Chen Sinans assistant felt that his boss was very hard to endure this time! His personality was already cold, and now under this intense pressure, he doesnt want anyone to survive! Weng Yinlins tone towards him was puzzled. After pondering about it for a while, the only way to explain this strange situation was thatCthe couple was fighting. Since she cant get any information from Chen Sinan, she can only find Xing Siyue. But when she arrived at the hospital, Xing Siyue was leaving the building. Xing Qiancheng helped his sister carry a little luggage and some of the prescription drugs. When he saw Weng Yinlin approaching them, he just glanced at Xin Siyue with a questioning expression. The only thing Xing Siyue could do was smile and reply, Its Auntie Chen. Weng Yinlin glimpsed at Xing Qiancheng and turned to asked Xing Siyue Have you fully recovered? Thank you, Auntie Chen, Im fine. Xing Siyue was apprehensive on the inside. Weng Yinlin continued to smile and said, I rarely come here, maybe we should eat dinner together. Xin Siyue was thinking about rejecting the offer tactfully, but Xin Qiancheng was very direct, Mrs. Chen, thank you for the thought, but my sister just recovered. There are some foods she cant eat. Weng Yinlin replied immediately, Of course, I asked someone to prepare you some healthy recipes, theyre just waiting for you Auntie Chen, thank you. You dont have to be this kind, its too much trouble for you. Not at all, my son happens to be at A City. Tonight, we can Weng Yinlin just realized that this was the first time she had mentioned her sons name; both the Xing siblings restrained their negative expression at the same time. Not waiting for her to finish, she heard Xin Siyue said in a weak yet firm voice Auntie Chen, I think youve mistaken something. Yes? Xin Siyue smiled faintly, Chentheres nothing going on between Senior Chen and me. We dont have any relationship; we are not even considered friends. Auntie is being too nice to me and I feel a little anxious. Weng Yinlin doesnt believe it, I remember him Auntie Chen, Senior Chen already like someone else. You can ask him directly if you want to know. No need to ask. A deep voice took over right after Xin Siyue finished her sentence. Xin Siyue was startled and turned her head guiltily. She discovered that Chen Sinan had suddenly come out of nowhere. Oh my god! Im in huge trouble! Chapter 53 - To Protect Her Ch.53 To Protect Her It was 10 a.m. on a hot summer day. Under the suns harsh heat, Xin Siyue was already sweating even though she only stood by the car for a few minutes. Although she shouldve sensed the burning heat from the sun, for some reason, she felt the air around her turn cold and her hands felt frozen. Xin Siyues sharp eyes followed Chen Sinan closely. She was afraid that he was going to lose his mind and do something harmful to her. She clearly saw him gnash his teeth when he had said, No need to ask. Aside from that, she also sensed his anger. Xin Siyue was unaware as to why he was angry. As she tried to figure out why he was so mad, she finally came to the conclusion that it must be due to her accidental mention of the female leads existence. In the novel, Chen Sinan had concealed the existence of the female lead from the Chen Familys elders for so many years just to protect her. As Xin Siyue continued to ponder about this, she became more certain that she had crossed his bottom line. She stared at him without moving her eyes. Xin Shiyue saw him walk next to Weng Yinlin with a gloomy face. He asked his mother if she was leaving and even offered to drive her. Weng Yinlin was also good at observing others. Although the two of them had only exchanged a sentence with each other, after she examined their expressions, she can already guess that they were bickering. At least, she hadnt seen her son this angry for many years. Weng Yinlin thought for a while before she nodded her head told them that she was leaving now. Then, she turned to Xin Siyue and said, Take care of yourself, I will come again once I get a chance. Xin Siyue nodded her head, but she was already overwhelmed on the inside. She thought: Auntie, can you stop tormenting me and just let me survive on my own? I just want to live peacefully! Weng Yinlin had no idea what she was thinking; she only saw sadness reflected in Xin Siyues bright eyes. The young girl looked more and more pitiful the more she stared at her. As Weng Yinlin prepared to leave, she gave Chen Sinan a deadly look. Its all your fault! Xin Siyue wanted Chen Sinan to go as quickly as possible. When she saw that Weng Yinlin was ready to leave, she was about to tell Xin Qiancheng to quickly leave as well. However, before she had the chance to even talk, she heard a threat from behind, Xin Siyue, you better not see me again, or else I would neverC Chen Sinan stopped his sentence midway for a long time and he still didnt finish the sentence. Xin Siyue turned around to look at him fearfully and saw him staring at her with his sharp eyes. That sharp expression, it looked as if he wanted to kill her as soon as possible! Ugh Xin Siyue clearly felt her heartbeat accelerated. That was scary! After being scared by him, fear was reflected on her small face. Her originally thin face caused by the sickness was now pale white after his threat. Chen Sinan looked at her pale face and grind his teeth secretly; he left without looking back. Humph! Out of sight, out of mind! Xin Siyue was utterly confused. What did he mean by only saying half of a threat? After seeing the two people finally wrap up their business, Xin Qiancheng walked over to Xin Siyues side. That was when he noticed that her complexion was worse than before. His expression turned ghastly and he scolded, He has already left, are you still going to stay day-dreaming? Xin Siyues flickering look was not out of nostalgia, but out of confusion! If she appeared in front of him again, what would he do to her? Xin Siyue thought over the ending of the book and her dreams. She realized that no matter which ending, neither of them was a desirable ending for her. She sighed and turned to follow Xin Qiancheng back to the car, then asked hesitantly Brother, should I go abroad? If she goes abroad and not come back, at the very least, she wouldnt see Chen Sinan again. Xin Qiancheng rolled his eyes at her, Youve already tortured yourself to this point by just going out of the city. Dont even think about going abroad. Xin Siyue laid on the seat at the back of the car and sighed leisurely. It turns out that even if you have wealth and a happy family, trouble will still find you. She needed to prevent Chen Sinan from destroying all her happiness every second. Xin Siyues sorrowful look made Xin Qiancheng a bit annoyed, You still cant forget about him? Xin Siyue was still immersed in her own thoughts, so she replied without thinking, Him? Who? Xin Qiancheng glanced at her and the expression on his face was basically saying: Pretend! Continue pretending! Xin Siyue sighed stressfully, You mean Chen Sinan? Why cant I forget about him? Oh, actually, if you have to say I cant forget about him, then it must be that Im afraid he would kill me someday as if hes crushing an ant. Chapter 54 - Business Venture Ch.54 Business Venture Xin Qiancheng disagreed, Even if he doesnt like you, he doesnt have to be so narrow-minded that he needs to kill you. Also, did you forget that you have support from the Xin Family? Xin Siyue didnt forget, but she also remembered how Xins Family was like an unstable building; it fell so easily when Chen Sinan moved his fingers. She didnt know how to explain everything to Xin Qiancheng, so she said, Sometimes, its just better to have a backup plan. Xin Qiancheng looked at her intensely and said after a while, I think you got sick this time because of grieving. You never thought so much before, how come after you fell, you changed entirely. Xin Qiancheng often doubted if she was his biological sister. But her look and appearance, if its not her then who is it? Xin Siyue cant help but replied, I also hope that Im just overthinking. Xin Qiancheng saw that she was still lifeless, he thought of something and asked, Was what you told Weng Yinlin true? What did I say? Xin Siyue didnt know what he was talking about. Xin Qiancheng stared at her and lazily asked, Chen Sinan likes someone? Xin Siyue nodded, Yeah! The whole school knows. Xin Qiancheng looked at her suspiciously. He had asked someone to go to the school to find some information, but all the gossip in the academy was all about Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue said, Chen Sinan and Sheng Wenyang are a perfect couple! Sheng Wenyang? Yeah, she went abroad, but she will be back in two years. How do you know? After she was questioned by Xin Qiancheng, Xin Siyue realized that she accidentally slipped up, so she explained laughingly, Mao Shiyuan said that! Oh, hes Chen Sinans friend. Is his last name Mao? Xin Qiancheng asked with a frown face. Xin Siyue didnt think too much of it and only nodded, Yeah. Why? Do you know him? Xin Qiancheng only looked at her meaningfully, of course he knew who Mao Shiyuan was. In order for Xin Siyue to get closer to Chen Sinan, she had bothered Mao Shiyuan the most before. However, being close friends with Chen Sinan wasnt a good thing. Dont get too close to him. Xin Qiancheng said while driving. Xin Siyue didnt think it matters since they wouldnt often meet each other, so she replied readily, Okay! After Xin Siyue left the hospital, Xin Qiancheng stayed in A City two more days. But due to his continuously accumulating work, he had to rush back to Shengjin City. If the same thing happens again next time, you are going back to Shengjin City and dont ever think about going anywhere again. Xin Qiancheng said as he was about to leave. Xin Siyue wisely nodded her head and pretended to be obedient, Okay, I will promise to eat and exercise every day. I will take care of my body! Xin Qiancheng glanced at her; he was clearly not convinced by her words. But he found her a reliable housemaid before he left. Xin Qiancheng told the housemaid to cook for Xin Siyue 3 times a day and help her clean the house. Xin Siyue became speechless. It wasnt like she didnt know how to do those chores! But when she argued with Xin Qiancheng, he replied coldly, The only thing in your refrigerator are noodles, do you think I can trust you? Xin Siyue forced herself to smile. She really knew how to cook, but she thought that it was just too much work and a waste of time, so she usually ate meals that were easy to cook. Who wouldve thought that her brother would actually underestimate her cooking skills! Xin Siyue believed it was about time for her to show off her skills and scare him to death! After Xin Qiancheng left, Xin Siyues life went back to normal. She went to school in the morning and learned to dance and to play the piano at night. To sum it up, she was pretty busy. The same happened to Chen Sinan. After he returned to Shengjin City, he was extremely busy. He often worked overtime and constantly engaged in social activities related to his business. In the middle of June, the new company was finally established. Chen Sinan didnt go to the official establishment event of his company. He simply left all the work to the person in chargeC Mao Shiyuan. Feeling perplexed, Mao Shiyuan asked, You founded the company, so why arent you attending such an important event? Chen Sinan simply replied, I just want to see how far the company can go without Chen Familys protection. Mao Shiyuan understood part of his intention, but he didnt fully understand everything. Why was he trying to prove his own capabilities when the continuously growing Chen Company was the best proof of his abilities? Chen Sinan didnt want to utilize the Chen Familys resources for this company, it was such a pity. Mao Shiyuan thought that if the two companies merged together, it would be possible for the newly merged company to become the worlds most powerful company! However, Mao Shiyuan kept the thought to himself and followed Chen Sinans will to the end. Nobody can prevent Chen Sinan from doing what he wanted to do. Chapter 55 - Xia Qiao (1) Ch.55 Xia Qiao (1) Besides starting a new company, Chen Sinan was also preparing to start another project, a new science and technology building for the school. The Chen Company funded the project to take control of the buildings construction. Coincidentally, the news leaked two days before Chen Sinans graduation ceremony, and the whole school was seething. Chen Sinan paid for this entire massive project?! Hes so wealthy! As for those who looked up to Chen Sinan, the news only served to demonstrate the disparity between them. The girls, eager to confess to him, prepared as much as possible in the little time before the graduation ceremony. But, after searching the whole day unsuccessfully, they learned that he wasnt coming! Without an important figure like Chen Sinan attending, the girls soon lost interest in the ceremony. With the whole school already enraged, the atmosphere turned even darker in his absence. Zhong Qing and her roommates also woke up early and dressed elaborately. One reason was to congratulate the seniors with flowers, and the other was to experience Chen Sinans charm one last time. What they didnt expect was they would never get to see Chen Sinan, even after staying in the sun all afternoon, and taking photos with seniors until their faces were sore. You were right telling me not to go! Zhong Qing exclaimed. She was texting Xin Siyue on WeChat after returning from the ceremony. Xin Siyue was at the library when she received the text. Unaware Zhong Qing was talking about the Chen Sinans graduation; she replied: Not to go where? I was trying to take pictures with Chen Sinan! Oh my god, we stood under the sun for an eternity before we found out that he wasnt even coming! Xin Siyue couldnt help but laugh, replying Yeah. In the book, Chen Sinan also didnt attend the graduation ceremony. The villainess also had the same expectations as Zhong Qing and went to wait for him, only to never see him. Then she went to his apartment, but Chen Sinan also wasnt there. Feeling it was unusual of him not to appear, the villainess went straight to his company to visit him. However, the personnel at the front desk refused to let her in, saying she cant meet with the CEO without an appointment. The villainess started to cry and make a scene, forcing Chen Sinans assistant to come down and instruct security to take her home. Xin Siyue thought it was fine being alone in A City since she wasnt constantly forced to find excuses to avoid those kinds of situations. Xin Siyue was still trying to calm a forever complaining Zhong Qing while picking out her books. Zhong Qing typed for a while and sent a voice message. Xin Siyue, having left her wallet at her seat, went back for her earbuds. She bumped into someone as she walked out of the aisle. Xin Siyue didnt have time to look, but from the persons height, posture, and body language, she could tell it was a boy. She quickly apologized and bent down to help pick up his books. As she picked up the first book, she heard, No need to apologize, in a deep voice. That voice Without a second thought, Xin Siyue looked up and blurted Xia Qiao? Xin Siyue was lucky enough to be a guest at one of his events. The academy invited two famous online writers to A College to talk to students about their dreams and experiences; the events sole host was Xia Qiao. Xin Siyue witnessed his wit and unrivaled eloquence that day. His skill received much praise and admiration. At the end of the event, Xin Siyue was complimenting the host with her classmate Gu Tong. What did you expect? Its Xia Qiao, Gu Tong told her while smiling. Xin Siyue was confused. Who is he? The number one academy host! Gu Tong said in high spirits. Have you heard of Senior Li? Xin Siyue shook her head. Shes the senior who was hired by the City TV show, Gu Tong explained. Xin Siyue vaguely remembered one of the professors mentioning the girl when she just joined A College. She heard that Senior Li was not only versatile but highly skilled in all facets. The academy recommended her as an intern at the show right after she graduated and, after her probationary period, she was officially hired. She was present on many TV shows even today. Senior Li is already superb, right? But when she came back to the academy last year and saw Xia Qiaos talent, even she praised him! She said that itd be a piece of cake for him to get in with his talent. As long as he was willing, his success in the industry was inevitable, Gu Tong continued. And now, Xin Siyue unexpectedly met the man himself. Xin Siyue blinked a few times, to be certain that she identified him correctly. Everything about him was nice. His voice was already pleasant, but it sounded even more attractive when lowered. If Gu Tong heard what Xia Qiao said earlier, shed be so excited that shed never be able to fall asleep, Xin Siyue thought. After that event, she also confirmed that Gu Tong was a total Xia Qiao fangirl. Xia Qiao saw Xin Siyue looking around nervously, and couldnt hide his smile anymore. The sunlight shining through the window made her smile look even more attractive in his eyes. Chapter 56 - Xia Qiao (2) Ch.56 Xia Qiao (2) Xia Qiao stretched out his arm to organize his books. Xin Siyue looked a bit embarrassed as she stood up. She had stopped picking up his books because she was lost in thought. With only one book in her hands, she awkwardly placed it on top of his stack and said, Sorry, I got distracted. Xia Qiao stared at her, raising his eyebrows and smiling. Could I ask if you were thinking about me? Huh? The corner of Xin Siyues mouth twitched, as she found herself at a loss. Youre an exchange student from Shenjing City, right? Do we share the same major? Xia Qiao asked further. Xin Siyue nodded, but she didnt expect Xia Qiao to continue. If you were hosting a show right now, I think that reaction would have been a little too slow. Xin Siyue was completely out of her element, and after that final comment, it showed. He was right. When we interview guests, we ask questions. But a lot of times, the answers will include rhetorical questions of their own, which are the hardest to answer. So, when youre conducting an interview, and you meet a guest who unexpectedly asks you questions, your reaction would only make the situation awkward, he said, breaking the silence of her long pause. Xin Siyue admitted that he was correct, but to have someone so talented advising someone like her was a bit unexpected. Without waiting for Xin Siyue to finish her sentence, Xia Qiaos smile grew bigger. He looked into her eyes and said, I know you. Yeah? Youre Xin Siyue. Oh my god! Xin Siyue thought. He knew everything! Even though she had never interacted with him before; even though this was his first time seeing he. how did he know? Before she could even ask, Xia Qiao kept his smile and continued, I still have things to do, so Ill talk to you next time. Xin Siyue could only watch as he left, unable to figure out how he knew her. Distracted by the run-in, Xin Siyue forgot that she needed to listen to Zhong Qings voice message. Meanwhile, Chen Sinan had finished work and was dropping by the school to discuss his upcoming project with the principal, when someone bumped into him from behind. He had a sturdy frame, so he wasnt hurt, but the smell of perfume made him frown. Not bothering to even to turn around; all he heard was laughter coming from behind him. Then, he heard a clear female voice calling his name, Chen Sinan! Still unconcerned, Chen Sinan kept walking until the person rushed in front to block his path. He looked at the girl in front of him, with long hair, wearing a long dress that resembled a womans sailor uniform from the torso up. This person doesnt look as good as her. It was the first thought that crossed his mind. After realizing who she was, he suddenly frowned. After seeing his demeanor change, the freshman girl who blocked him simply stood and said nothing. Chen Sinan decided not to bother with her and kept walking. But the girl was persistent enough to block him again. Chen Sinan finally spoke. I hate women who dont know how to tell good from the bad. Just like that woman. If you say it a third time, Ill personally make you pack your belongings and leave, Chen Sinan growled without even looking in her direction. The girl was stupefied and started crying. Chen Sinan left as if nothing had happened. Upon arriving at the principals office, Chen Sinan didnt say a word. He simply seated himself with a particularly nasty expression from his earlier encounter. Principal Zhao, who wore glasses, finally lifted his head to examine him. He was curious about where Chen Sinans anger originated. What happened? Your anger is so intense, its spreading to my side of the table, He asked earnestly. Chen Sinan never knew why he couldnt control his emotions when he was at school. He massaged his temples, and finally calmed down a little. Nothing, he answered coldly. Without giving his opinion on the matter, Principal Zhao decided to change topics and asked, Well be cutting the ribbon for A Colleges new building in the next couple of days. Do you think I should go? As soon as Chen Sinan heard A College, he turned to look at Professor Zhao with an intense gaze. Now that you mention it, when did we become so well acquainted with A College? For obvious reasons, Chen Sinan grew even moodier. But Principal Zhao became more excited. Being a youth was so much fun. CEO Chen, would you do me the favor of joining me in A City? Principal Zhao asked with a smile. Chen Sinan thought of how ungrateful the principal was, noting the mans attitude and disregard for his feelings in the principals comments. He rejected almost immediately. I dont have time to waste. Principal Zhao didnt bother trying to change Chen Sinans mind, instead, he continued to smile and said, Thats unfortunate. After leaving school, Chen Sinan received a call from his childhood friend when entering his car. There were only a few people in Shengjin City who were both close to him and in the same age group. Other people called his friend Zhuan Zi, but Chen Sinan never wanted to use that name. Zhuan Zhu was curious as to why, and even asked him once. Chen Sinan glanced at him lazily and chuckled. Are you philosophical like Zhuan Zi? Zhuan Zhu nearly choked. Was he being sarcastic? But when he thought of his barely passing grades, he relented. Chapter 57 - Matchmaking (1) Ch.57 Matchmaking (1) After Chen Sinan picked up shainhe phone, he heard Zhuan Zhu speaking in a spirited voice. Bei Zi is returning today, and were planning a welcome home feast. Are you coming later? Chen Sinan thought it over and asked, What time? Tonight at 8. Ill be there. Chen Sinan thought there was still time until dinner, so he returned to his old house. He hadnt gone back to see his grandfather for months because of his busy schedule. Of course, the real reason was that his grandfather was trying to force him to meet with the Lai Family. He wasnt planning on forgiving him just yet. Thats why even after Weng Yinlin called Chen Sinan so many times, telling him to go back to the old house to eat dinner, he refused. She thought that if she ignored him, hed only act more reckless in the future. As Chen Sinans car pulled in front of the old house, he saw another white car. The model was clearly one that a woman would drive. Chen Sinan, his father, and his grandfather were all the only children of their respective generations. He also didnt have many female relatives. But despite all that, the cars owner was most likely a young woman. While entering the house, his mind filled with guesses of who the visitor was. Before he arrived at the lobby, he saw his Aunt Song walking towards him from the garden. Aunt Song, whos visiting grandpa? he asked. Aunt Song had been working in the Chen family for more than ten years, and she saw Chen Sinan as her own child. When she saw him, she was overjoyed that he finally came back after so long, and what a coincidence! Miss Lai was also over. Miss Lai is here to accompany your grandfather. We didnt think you would also come back today, but perfect timing! Im preparing dinner now, so you should stay, she said cheerfully. The Lai family? Chen Sinan thought for a while and remembered the existence of this Miss Lai, but he couldnt remember her face. Chen Sinan could hear her gently complaining to his grandfather as he walked in. Grandpa, youre being too hard on me! How can I win like this?! Hmph. Only that fellow can beat me a couple of times in this world. Other people? Dont even think about winning. Chen Sinans first impression of the uninvited guest was far from good, especially when he heard her acting shy. Grandpa, are you talking about Sinan? she asked coyly. Who else?! After he finished, his grandfather saw Chen Sinan standing out of the corner of his eye. Speak of the devil. He took a single glance at his grandson. You still know the way back? he asked mockingly. I intended to come back, but now that Ive seen someone so insignificant here, I guess there wasnt any need to, Chen Sinan coldly stated. Grandpa Chen decided to ignore Chen Sinan. Miss Lai saw that Chen Sinan finally came back, and became so happy that joy was practically oozing from her face. After all her persistence, after every day she came to his old house to make his grandfather happyit finally happened! Chen Sinan wasnt moved by her advances. He didnt even look at her, choosing not to reply either. I see that youre living a pretty good life, dont let me disturb you, he replied to his grandfather, instead. Grandfather Chen badly wanted to beat him with his cane but held back. He didnt want to embarrass Chen Sinan in front of a guest. You unfilial thing! he bellowed. Same to you, Chen Sinan replied softly. With that final comment, he gave his grandfather a murderous look and walked out. Aunt Song caught him leaving early, and urgently asked, Why are you leaving so early? Why dont you leave after dinner? Its fine. I dont feel like eating with an outsider. The sentence was basically a slap in the face to Miss Lai. Aunt Song carefully examined Miss Lais expression; the entire situation could only be described as awkward. But Aunt Song knew that she couldnt make Chen Sinan stay, and decided to let it go. She saw Miss Lai leave right after Chen Sinan. It was obvious she was chasing after him. Aunt Song was worried that Miss Lai would make things worse after she caught up with him. Master, should I stop her? she asked Grandpa Chen. Grandpa was resting on his wicker chair, and aggressively shook it as he proudly replied, Why would you do that? He doesnt like her, so let her bother him all she likes! After he finished speaking, he nonchalantly asked what the family was going to have for dinner. Aunt Song saw that she couldnt help either of them, so she listed dish names without another thought for Miss Lai. Whatever happened, Miss Lai was the one who brought the trouble to herself. The author has something to say: [Little Theater 1] Host Xin: Lets interview the most popular character in the novel, Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen, do you have any thoughts on our cute readers who want to ruthlessly and emotionally torture you? Mr. Chen: No comment. Host Xin: /(o)/~~, Chen Sinan, I cant interview you like this! Mr. Chen: Fine. Then Mrs. Chen, Ill answer the question however you want me to! Host Xin: Can the interview still go on like this? Also, where are you putting your hands? Move it Bystanders: Hey, can you guys let us peacefully watch the interview? Your PDA really isnt appreciated! Chapter 58 - Matchmaking (2) Ch.58 Matchmaking (2) Sinan! Wait! When Chen Sinan heard his name called so intimately, he retracted his hand from the car door, turned, and said, Were not that close, Miss Lai. You dont need to call out to me like we are. You dont like it when I do that? I dont. After seeing his total disregard for her feelings, Miss Lai could feel the rim of her eyes reddening as she stood in front of him. Chen Sinan could only say that he was entirely uninterested when he realized she was about to cry. Her eyes watered up, and the sight made him want to get in his car and drive off. However, to his surprise, Miss Lai leaped towards his torso. She was scared that hed push her away, so she used all her might to lock her arms around his waist. Chen Sinan didnt expect that the daughter of a respectable family would act so repulsively. Let go. He scowled, hesitant to break her grip. The thought of touching her skin, with his very own hands, made him shudder. He didnt want his hands to suffer. Miss Lai held on as if her life depended on it. If she let go, shed probably never have the chance to see him again. She could forget about ever getting close to him. She sobbed desperately. Do you hate me that much? Do I look that ugly to you? Why do you have to avoid me! If you hate me, then why did you agree to meet me back then? Sinan, you stole my heart but treat me like this What do you want me to do? I live in an endless world of suffering`I think of you every day, and I always wonder how youre doing. Have you ever thought of me? Even just a little bit is fine Chen Sinan steeled himself and quickly grabbed both of her arms while forcing her backward. Miss Lai didnt expect him to push her away so rudely. She didnt pay attention for a split second, and suddenly she was sitting on the ground after landing right on her tailbone. She was stupefied. Chen Sinan turned to glare at her as she sat on the ground. She was crying so violently that her eyeliner was everywhere. Dont pull something like this again. Its obvious you could never be with me, and Im not someone you can just get close to, he said. Miss Lai watched in fear as he threatened her without a single indication of emotion. She turned pale as she recalled everyones warnings. What they say about him is true. Hes immune to anything a woman would use on a man, she thought to herself. Chen Sinan drove off and left Miss Lai with a face full of dust. She sat on the ground, coughing loudly and feeling hopeless. Her status had held her high above the masses, so she was always well received. She was praised by her elders since she was a child, and countless men wanted her, yet somehow she was utterly humiliated! After standing up`tears still in her eyes`she rushed into her own car and fixed her makeup. She sorted her torrent of thoughts and made a call. Shi Shi, your idea was completely idiotic! Chen Sinan didnt even fall for it! The voice on the other side of the phone responded calmly. You saw him? Yeah. Have you made him hate you because of your usual haphazard behavior? Miss Lai suddenly fell silent. I told you to get his grandpa to like you first, but you decided to throw yourself at him the moment you saw him. How is any of that my fault? Ms. Lai was aggravated by the indifferent tone she received, and the first thing she would have done was to snap back at her cousin; if not for the fact that she was at a loss for words. Maybe she was a bit impulsive. Its fine. But how was it that easy for that Xin family bitch to get Chen Sinan? All she did was act weird, and drew everyones attention in the process. Just look at Chen Sinan`he didnt show a hint of emotion. If you want to make him like you, then prepare for a long war. If you decide to give up after failing once or twice, you may as well quit like that bitch did. Shi Shi was proud of herself whenever she remembered about Xin Siyue. Who told Xin Siyue to act so arrogant and full of herself? Xin Siyue became much more obedient after I taught her a lesson. I heard that she doesnt nag Chen Sinan anymore, and went back to A City instead. Chapter 59 - Ruthless Ch.59 Ruthless Shi Shi thought about how she had traveled for so long, and how it was time for her to return. Well, I still have things to do, so lets end the call like this, she chimed happily. Miss Lai had so much more to say but was robbed of the chance. Was it because she rushed? But with Chen Sinans attitude, how could she not? If she didnt hook him soon, thered be even more obstacles. She would have to plan more carefully for the future. When Chen Sinan arrived at his apartment, he took off his clothes immediately. He went into the bathroom to wash thoroughly and threw everything he had worn straight into the garbage. It made his skin crawl. As Chen Sinan kept thinking back, he felt more and more like he was being toyed with. And, if he didnt get his revenge, he wouldnt be able to live with himself. Chen Sinan thought about it for another moment and decided to call Zhuang Zhu. Has the Lai family been working on a business project with you? Yeah. Im about to sign the contract. Zhuang Zhu was curious about why Chen Sinan would call him to ask directly about the Lai family, given how little he normally called. A certain suspicion came to mind, and he asked, Are you close with the Lai family? No, but the Chen company will take the project we discussed previously, Chen Sinan replied. Excuse me? Zhuang Zhu was obviously mad. What do you think youre doing?! Last time I asked you to sign a contract, you rejected the offer as if your life depended on it. But now, youre saying you want it? I` Yes or no, one word, Chen Sinan interjected. Zhuang Zhu hesitated for only a second, before firmly replying. Yes! His smile stretching from ear to ear, he said, Anyone who wouldnt accept a deal like this is a fool! Everyone knew that the Chen company was wealthy. A new thought popped into Zhuang Zus mind, so he decided to prod further. Are you cutting off the Lai familys livelihood because they offended you? The Lai family had asked literally everyone they knew for help, and Zhuang Zhu only agreed because he couldnt turn away a friend. The Lai family wouldve never foreseen such an unfortunate turn of events. Chen Sinan replied bluntly. They did. When Zhuang Zhu heard Chen Sinans icy tone, he suddenly felt a great deal of pity for the Lai family. Why would they offend Chen Sinan? He was inhumanly ruthless when he wanted to be. Alright, Ill tell everyone to stay away from the Lai family. Also, remember to come by later. Zhuang Zhu made sure to stress the time and location, fearing that his friend wouldnt show up. I know. Chen Sinan hung up after a curt reply. While Zhuang Zhu was out womanizing with two of his wealthy friends, Chen Sinan had already arrived 30 minutes early. Zhuang Zhu held onto the small and slender waist of a beautiful woman while his other hand was rubbing her chest. He was nearly about to yell at the waiter when he saw the waiter entering the room without his permission when he noticed Chen Sinan behind him. Chen Sinan wore a white t-shirt and slim black pants, his hands in his pockets. With his chin up, he only used the corners of his eyes to examine the smoke-filled room. He gave off the impression that he was important and noble. His demeanor demanded the attention of the rooms women and filled their eyes with desire. Upon seeing Chen Sinan, Zhuang Zu bellowed at the scantily clad women. Leave! Hurry! Dont you see Master Chen has arrived? But the women didnt want to leave. A few of them even blushed as they decided to put their feminine charm on display. They looked intimately at Zhuang Zhu and the others, making it very clear what their intentions were. They were suddenly told to leave, so they were the victims. Not to mention, after seeing their boss frantically trying to please the handsome guy, they couldnt help but want to keep Chen Sinan in their sights for just a little longer. What are you looking at?! Get out of my sight now! screamed Zhuang Zhu. He carefully prepared a smile for Chen Sinan and was about to speak. He never had the chance because he was interrupted by Chen Sinan. Either you change rooms, or I leave, Chen Sinan said, completely expressionless. The room reeked of cigarettes and perfume, and Zhuang Zhu knew that it would never please a clean-freak like Chen Sinan. Yes! A new room! Lets change rooms! he replied immediately, before commanding a nearby waiter to prepare one for him. When the new room was ready, Zhuang Zhu welcomed his guest inside. I hope this is to your liking, Master Chen. Chapter 60 - Mo Bei Ch.60 Mo Bei Chen Sinans silence was taken as agreement after he came back from smoking alone. Though the room was to Chen Sinans liking, Zhuang Zhus wealthy friends would suffer unspeakably. If he stayed for the whole night, then their party would be about as eventful as a gathering for depressed monks, especially since none of the women were allowed to say. It was a pity because each and every one of them was an absolute stunner. Chen Sinan glanced at Zhuang Zhu and flashed a smug little smile. You guys cant survive without women? The two rich guys laughed awkwardly, and Zhuang Zhu came out nearly sneering. I wouldnt go so far as to say that, but its not good for my body when Im all pent up. As he finished his cheeky reply, he turned over to Chen Sinan with a smirk. He had only intended to tease but decided to stop when he saw the man in front of him shooting daggers through his eyes. Instead, he did his best to change the topic. But man, how rare is it for you to come early? Whats your reason? Yeah! Just look at how honored Mo Bei is, one of his friends chimed in. I just happened to have time tonight, Chen Sinan said. No wonder. What did the Lai family do to you to turn you so ruthless? Zhuang Zhu asked. Dont mention them right now. Chen Sinan replied. The thought of that Lai family woman hugging him was still fresh in his mind, and it made him furious. He lifted his head to address Zhuang Zhu but stopped himself. There was no point in asking. Zhuang Zhu was confused. What is it? Chen Sinan ignored him. He was certain that, with Zhuang Zhus IQ, it was a waste of time to ask. The handful of men sat around twiddling their thumbs until the main lead, Mo Bei, arrived. Sorry. I was stuck with my family, so I only just arrived. Its fine as long as youre here! Zhuang Zhu looked at Mo Bei, who seemed to have grown even more handsome during his time abroad. He went up to the guest of honor, and playfully tried to punch his shoulder while saying, Youre becoming almost as handsome as I am! Mo Bei laughed and dodged the pretend strike. Dont compare me to someone like you. F***. Surname Mo, are you looking for a fight? Well Im civilized, so I dont resort to violence. Zhuang Zhu got even more riled up by his reply, he nearly pounced on him. Mo Bei ignored him and rushed to get rid of him by heading towards Chen Sinan. Long time no see. Yeah, its been a while. Mo Bei smiled and continued the small talk. I heard you took over the family enterprises. I did. How was your time outside of the country? Chen Sinan asked. Its alright. Ill probably stay here for a while. Ill move back to China and see how the market is doing in the meantime. Welcome home, then. The group of men ate a very lackluster dinner and shared a few bottles of wine. Other than the odd dirty joke, nothing special happened. After dinner, Zhuang Zhu suggested playing mahjong. All five people joined in to play, but after each game, one person waiting for a turn would end up in the losers seat. After only a few rounds, it was clear that the game was only really between two of the men. Chen Sinan won many rounds, and so did Zhuang Zhu. As he placed a tile, Zhuan Zhu looked at his winning hand and bit into his cigarette. The god of wealth is watching our game, and hes definitely looking over me. My hands have been amazing, Master Shen! Chen Sinan was too lazy to respond. Mo Bei had also won a few rounds. He looked at Chen Sinan and casually mentioned, Theres this one woman from one of the countries I visited. I thought she was only good at cards, but it turns out shes good at everything. Zhuang Zhu noticed how strange Mo Bei was acting when he talked about the woman, so he couldnt help but gossip. Theres more to her, isnt there? Cmon, tell us! She blonde? She hot? Mo Bei smiled, Shes not blonde. Shes a Chinese woman, and ANan happens to know her too. Chen Sinan could tell what Mo Bei was trying to get at as he continued. Her name is Sheng Wenyang. Shes in the same grade as you and attends the same college. Chen Sinan stopped halfway through dropping a tile. Sheng Wenyang? Mo Bei smiled, When I was coming back, she promised me that youd remember. Turns out she wasnt kidding. Shell be quite happy when I tell her the news. Chen Sinan laughed and decided not to speak his mind. What a coincidence; Sheng Wenyang knew Mo Bei. Zhuang Zhu examined how the two had been acting and snuck his way into the conversation. Whos Sheng Wenyang to you, A Nan? Chapter 61 - Who is She to You? Ch.61 Who is She to You? Zhuang Zhu examined how the two had been acting and snuck his way into the conversation. Whos Sheng Wenyang to you, A Nan? Mo Bei decided not to wait for Chen Sinans reply and answered for him in an ironic tone. She said she was your woman. Zhuang Zhu was stupefied. When did Chen Sinan get a woman? Mo Bei waited patiently for Chen Sinan to clarify`Chen Sinan could tell from the glint in his eyes. Without even lifting his head, Chen Sinan leisurely placed another tile and said, If you know her so well, why dont you find out for yourself? Mo Bei held back his initial reaction and only glared at Chen Sinan. He had felt an attraction to Sheng Wenyang at first sight. He spent all his time trying to get closer to her. He helped and provided everything that he could for her. But when he confessed, she was merciless. Thank you for telling me, she said. But my heart lies with someone else. At the time, Mo Bei thought she was only using it as an excuse. Thats impossible! he exclaimed. How is it not possible?! Sheng Wenyang had firmly replied. If you already like someone else, how come Ive never seen you talking with someone like that at all? Youve never even mentioned him. I didnt mention him because Im afraid Ill turn weak just thinking of him`afraid that my heart will soften and Ill go back to China to find him. And Ive never contacted him for the same reason. If I dont hear his voice, I wont think about him as much, said Sheng Wenyang. Mo Bei was thoroughly hurt by her confession. He wasnt expecting her to continue. You know him too. Who? Chen Sinan. Mo Bei gave a bittersweet smile. Why are you so sure that I know him? Youre from Shengjin City, and everyone there knows of him. Mo Bei, the man I love can control the forces of nature`you cant possibly compare. I never thought about giving him up, and in fact, I even went abroad for him. Nothing is worse than an attack right after a rejection, but Mo Bei still kept his smile. Are you sure that Chen Sinan loves you? According to what I know, he was never into women. Im his girlfriend. What do you have to say to that? Mo Beis heart shattered into thousands of pieces. He wanted to call Chen Sinan for proof but was too scared to hear the truth. He wanted to forget about Sheng Wenyang, but she still acted like everything was business as usual. He remembered her saying, Mo Bei, even though we cant be lovers, I still hope that we can be best friends. He was screaming inside, frustrated at how useless he felt! Why couldnt he give up on a woman that would never return his love? Why couldnt he just let go? Her every movement, her every expression`each minute detail about her was intoxicating. Sheng Wenyang, Ill always love you. Authors words: Theater 2-Woke up on the wrong side of the bed The two have just been married, and Xin Siyue doesnt know Chen Sinan has a problem with waking up on the wrong side of the bed. One morning, due to certain happenings the night before, the two of them only got a bit of sleep before a call on Xin Siyues phone woke them up. The host of the station originally had a show that morning, but ran into a small emergency and called Xin Siyue for assistance. After they talked on the phone for a while, she turned and realized that Chen Sinan was also awake and staring at her, annoyed. Xin Siyue ignored him, and even after showering, he was still sitting in bed. He was entirely displeased and entirely silent. She looked at the time and saw that it only 6:30. It was kind of early Xing Siyue felt guilty for his morning grumpiness, so she walked over to him and said, Sorry for waking you up. Ill make sure to put my phone on silent next time! Chen Sinan was not swayed. Then, Xin Siyue shifted her gaze. She didnt care that all she had on was a towel. She lifted her leg, straddling his thigh as she leaned in for a kiss. Chen Sinan flinched but continued to stay silent. Xin Siyue kissed him again. And just as she was about to leave, she was forced back onto the bed Somehow, she showed up to work entirely late, despite waking up so early. Later on, she found out that these morning activities were actually a habit of his, and she didnt bother to care for him even if she woke him up. Hed surely get over it. After failing to get what he wanted, Chen Sinan was confused. How come she isnt falling for my honey trap anymore? Im depressed! What should I do? Waiting for an answer online! Emergency! Chapter 62 - Thinking of Her Ch.62 Thinking of Her On their way back, Zhuang Zhu insisted that he wanted to ride Mo Beis car. Mo Bei tried to refuse, but he wasnt as shameless as Zhuang Zhu. When Mo Bei heard Zhuang Zhus teasing, he ignored him. Zhuang Zhu folded his hands behind his head and raised his two long legs. He lazily said, Im not criticizing you but, stealing a brothers woman really shows that you have no taste. Although whoever is more capable, the woman should be his; but there are so many women in this world. Women are like clothes, so why would you break off a decade of brotherhood for a woman? Mo Bei said, Im not like you. You play with women like youre changing clothes. But the woman I like is different from all the women you know. Zhuang Zhu was amused by his serious tone, It seems that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Mo Bei glared at him, hinting that he should restrain himself before he becomes impolite. Zhuang Zhu raised his hands in surrender. D*mn, I cant even say anything. Mo Bei heavily sighed; it seemed like he was still frustrated. Zhuang Zhu understood that Mo Bei was someone who would easily fall in love. However, when he actually falls in love, he would lose control. In the past, Mo Bei was madly enamored with his first love. But no one expected that his first love would make him wear a green hat**. Because of that, the Mo elders didnt even need to stop the relationship from progressing anymore. Mo Bei immediately broke up with her. Since then, he has lived an innocent life. (T/N: green hatCcause the lover to be jealous, or cheat on him) Now he finally found someone he loved, and it turned out that the woman belongs to Chen Sinan, its not surprising that it was hard for him to accept that. Brother, since that woman had said that she is Chen Sinans woman, why are you torturing yourself about it? There are plenty of fish in the sea, dont hurt yourself over one woman. Mo Bei said, Are you Chen Sinans agent? Why are you helping him? Hey! Im saying this for your sake. How can you bite the hand thats helping you? Then it seems that I have eyes but have failed to recognize Mt. Tai. Zhuang Zhu felt like it was hard to talk with Mo Bei. Since were brothers, Ive already tried to convince you. If something happens in the future, dont blame me for not stopping you from jumping into the fire pit! Mo Bei didnt appreciate his kindness. Then why dont you go convince Chen Sinan? He laughed lightly, What? I bet you dont dare to! Zhuang Zhu cried out in grievance, Of course I want to persuade him. But he is really hard to read. He either deliberately avoids my questions or answers in an ambiguous way. Who would know whether he is acknowledging something or not? Do you think you can read him? Mo Beis expression darkened. It was precisely because he couldnt read Chen Sinan that he was suspicious. When Zhuang Zhu saw his expression, he heartily laughed. Haha, do you see now? It seems like Im not the only one. Who could know what Chen Sinan is thinking about? In fact, Chen Sinan was currently thinking about Xin Siyue. He and Xin Siyue had a great cold war in A City. The reason for the cold war was precisely Sheng Wenyang. When he heard Mo Bei mention Sheng Wenyang, he suddenly had a thought. If Xin Siyue had really lost her memory, then her previous memory regarding him and Sheng Wenyangs love affair shouldve been forgotten. Now that she always have Sheng Wenyangs name on the tip of her tongue, it should be because of Ji Yi and Mao Shiyuan telling tales and making mischiefs. The more he thought about it, the more his chest tightened in pain. Chapter 63 - To Go or Not? Ch.63 To Go or Not? The more he thought about it, the more his chest tightened in pain. Since Chen Sinan wasnt happy, the main culprit shouldnt have it easy either. He should give Mao Shiyuan a heavier workload, then he can vent his anger. As for Ji Yi, he sent a text message to Dean Zhao. Chen Sinan suggested that Dean Zhao should teach more lectures and set up more activities to train his juniors. Dean Zhao thought that his suggestion was pretty good, so he asked what kind of lectures and activities he should arrange. Chen Sinan moved his fingers and sent a series of questions Dean Zhao should focus on during his lectures. He even helped him draft a guest list. After Dean Zhao looked through it, he felt that everything was perfect. He contacted Ji Yi and asked the students to begin preparing. Ji Yi was busy preparing for the final exams. He was dumbstruck when he received the notification from Dean Zhao. Does Dean Zhao want to delay their holiday? In fact, Ji Yi was really naive and pure. After attending one activity after another, Ji Yi was as busy as a spinning top. When the Dean finally stopped setting up activities, the holiday was already over. The entire student union was exhausted from all the events. However, no one was more exhausted as Ji Yi. After receiving so many suggestions from Chen Sinan for no reason, Dean Zhao thought that Chen Sinan was helping him so that Chen Sinan can benefit from it. As a result, he generously sent the only invitation he had received to Chen Sinan early the next morning. Dean Zhao had also told the person delivering the invitation to leave Chen Sinan this message: This is the only invitation I have. The Dean has already promised the principal of A College that he will send someone to attend. Because of the current relationship between the two schools, Chen Sinan, you have to attend. When Chen Sinan finished attending a meeting, he returned to his office. Upon entering, he saw a golden invitation with the words A College printed on it. A light flashed in his eye, and he asked, Where did this come from? Assistant Wang Dongwen had been following Chen Sinan around the meeting, so he was naturally unaware of the answer. As a result, he immediately turned around and said, I will go investigate this. Because he is Chen Sinans only assistant, his workload was quite heavy. Fortunately, there are many secretaries working under Assistant Wang. Even though the secretaries also assist Chen Sinan, because Chen Sinan doesnt like having too many people around him, they were considered Assistant Wangs subordinate. When Assistant Wang went downstairs to ask the secretaries, a secretary immediately reported everything to him, saying that it was Dean Zhao who had sent the invitation. He also relayed the message, saying, The person who had sent the invitation told me that Dean Zhao had already discussed this matter with President Chen yesterday. He also told me that President Chen agreed to it, so I acted on my own initiative and accepted the invitation. Assistant Wang shouldve known about the origin of the invitation. In the past, he had never seen his boss having such a big reaction to just an invitation. This must be because Miss Xin is still in A City! Although Assistant Wang didnt know what had happened between the two in A City, he knew that this woman wasnt ordinary. This woman actually caused his boss to help her find the best doctor in the middle of the night, carry her to his car, and transfer hospitals. His biggest impression of Miss Xin was from waiting in line forever to buy her porridge. Whats more, he had to deliver the porridge under Mrs. Chens name! No matter how he thought about it, the relationship between Miss Xin and his boss was very complicated. Assistant Wang thought about before, and began praying his boss wouldnt go to A City. He still remembered how his expression was gloomy nonstop for over two days. When he finally came back to his office, the pressure around him was too frightening. Assistant Wang felt that whenever his boss gets close to Miss Xin, the aura he gave off would be frightening. In the end, Assistant Wang himself will be the one to suffer. However, no matter how unwilling he was to suffer again, Assistant Wang relayed the message word by word to Chen Sinan. Chen Sinan sat on the swivel chair. He was holding his phone in one hand while flipping through the invitation with his other hand. Chen Sinan silently listened to Assistant Wangs report. Assistant Wang looked at Chen Sinan. He tried to guess his bosss feelings. Would he go or not? If his boss wants to go, then he will have to work hard to rearrange the important workload for his boss. Chen Sinan continued to stare at the invitation in his hand. He waved to tell his assistant to leave. Chen Sinan didnt confirm whether or not he would be attending. When Chen Sinan entered his office the next morning, he took off his suit jacket and said, Book me a ticket to A City. Chapter 64 - Eye-catching Ch.64 Eye-catching When Chen Sinan entered his office the next morning, he took off his suit jacket and said, Book me a ticket to A City. Assistant Wang almost knelt down on the floor. Boss, please dont play like this! Whats more, he didnt know when and where in A City the ceremony, for the completed construction of a school building, would be scheduled. Assistant Wang tried his best to appear like he wasnt about to fall apart. He calmed himself and asked, President Chen, when will the ceremony start for A College? It will start at two oclock in the afternoon. Assistant Wang said, I will book the flights immediately! It will take two hours by plane to travel from Shengjin to A City. He also had to schedule some time for Chen Sinan to have lunch after getting off the plane. Therefore, Assistant Wang rushed to prepare everything and arrived at the airport at 9:30 in the morning with Chen Sinan. He will have to reschedule Chen Sinans meeting with various executives and the collaborations with other companies. After Assistant Wang got on the plane, he looked at the boundless blue sky and felt his heart was a little tired. In the past, when his boss attended these opening ceremonieswait no, his boss had never attended this type of boring ceremony. He would never attend an opening ceremony in A City when the school didnt even have a strong relationship with him. The event will officially end after the dinner party concluded. Under normal circumstances, his boss would most likely leave after the opening ceremony. But because Miss Xin was here, it was hard for Assistant Wang to make the decision. Therefore, he forced himself to work up the courage to ask Chen Sinan. But right after he asked the question, he secretly scolded himself for being stupid. It doesnt matter whether or not Chen Sinan wanted to stay in a hotel. He couldve just booked a room, and if Chen Sinan didnt want to stay, he could just cancel it on President Chens behalf. It was better than asking his boss such a worthless question. Chen Sinan didnt directly respond and just glanced at Assistant Wang. Assistant Wang felt that something was wrong, so he said, President Chen, I apologize. Chen Sinan waved his hand. When he started walking, he said, Book a room. Assistant Wang was shocked; he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He took out his phone and called the secretary to book a room at a hotel. During lunch, Assistant Wang could see that Chen Sinan was absent-minded. Although he had seen through his boss, it didnt mean that he could say it out loud. It was getting late after eating. After the meal, Assistant Wang sent Chen Sinan to the hotel so he could wash up. Then, they went to A College. When they arrived at A College, Assistant Wang reported their names. He looked up and saw that the schoolgirls in charge of welcoming guests looked astonished. Their gaze enthusiastic as they stared at Chen Sinan. Chen Sinan had combed back the loose strands of his hair that were usually on his forehead. This exposed his full forehead, making his facial features appear to look even more refined. When it was coupled with his handsome face and soul-sucking eyes, even if he was dressed in simple black pants and a white shirt, it couldnt conceal his noble aura. His boss had always been very charming. It was very obvious as the ladies had all turned their heads to have a better look at him. When Assistant Wang saw that the girl still hadnt returned to her senses and that his boss was getting more impatient, he said, May I ask which way is the opening ceremony is at? Oh, please wait for a moment. I will ask another classmate to take you there. When she said that, she apologetically nodded at Chen Sinan. Assistant Wang didnt even need to look to know his boss didnt respond to her at all. However, in the next second, the classmate shouted, Siyue, youre heading to the new lab building, right? Why dont you help President Chen lead the way? After all, he came here to represent your school. When Xin Siyue was suddenly stopped by Gu Tong to lead the way for Chen Sinan, she inexplicably became frozen. She looked in the direction that Gu Tong was pointing at and a handsome white figure. The handsome white figure could be no one else but Chen Sinan! Chapter 65 - Not Acquainted (1) Ch.65 Not Acquainted (1) Xin Siyues first thought, upon suddenly saw Chen Sinan after a long time was: The evil spirit has continued to linger on! Why does she still see him even after she came to A City? Xin Siyue was trying to ignore Chen Sinans scorching look as she pulled Gu Tong to the side. With her back to Chen Sinan, she said quietly, Hey, why did you bother me for this? Gu Tong didnt understand. Even though she had heard of the big shot Chen Sinan, why did Siyue appear to be avoiding him like the plague? Gu Tong examined her and asked in confusion, Didnt you guys go to the same school? I thought it would be best for you to show him around. Xin Siyue shook her head, Im not acquainted with him. You take him. What about my job here? Gu Tong said bewildered. Xin Siyue said without thinking, Ill help you. But arent you going over there to help too? There should be enough time, come back right after you show him the way and Ill rush over. Gu Tong didnt understand why Xin Siyue would rather go through such a complicated process, adding more work to both of them instead of bringing Chen Sinan over. But she thought she had already troubled Xin Siyue by making her help greet the guests, so she didnt want to reject her feelings. Then she turned and grinned sweetly, with an apologetic tone she said: Mr. Chen, Im sorry, let me escort you. Chen Sinan didnt look at her; his gaze was on Xin Siyues graceful back. She was wearing the same outfit as the girl in front of him; a red knee-length cheongsam, a Chinese-style dress. It fit her body tightly, showing off her beautiful curves and graceful figure. The side-slit was quite high, but far from his view, her long and snowy thighs were intermittently visible. Chen Sinans gaze deepened; as he lifted his chin, he said, I only want her to show me the way. Gu Tong was stupefied. What? Xing Siyue was also stupefied when she heard that. That f***! Nit picking! Gu Tong really didnt know what to do. She looked at Chen Sinan, who was only staring at Xin Siyue. Then she glanced at Xin Siyue, who was being stubborn and refusing to turn around. In the end, she could only look towards Assistant Wang for help. Assistant Wang was good at handling these situations, so he said to Xin Siyue politely Sorry to bother Miss Xin to lead the way. Thank you. Xin Siyue gritted her teeth. Anyone who wants to go can go; shes not going! Chen Sinan could stay here if he wanted to! Xin Siyue turned and was going to tell Gu Tong off, but after seeing Assistant Wangs appearance more clearly, she pointed at him and stuttered, YouWerent you the person who brought me the porridge? Xin Siyue looked at Assistant Wang. Assistant Wang looked at Chen Sinian and was a little speechlessYes, boss, we have been exposed. Following Assistant Wangs line of sight, Xin Siyue also looked at Chen Sinan. She cant help but ask, Isnt this your moms assistant? Why is he with you? Hes my assistant. Chen Sinan continued, Why? Do you have any issues with that? Xin Siyue gritted her teeth and glared at him! Yes! If Assistant Wang was his assistant, then why did he bring her breakfast? Also, why did he claim he was Weng Yinlins assistant? What the hell was he doing? Seeing Xin Siyue getting angry, Chen Sinan finally felt more comfortable. He said kindly, What are you dissatisfied with, say it. Xin Siyue said bluntly, I am very dissatisfied. Chen Sinan, what do you mean by this? Hes your assistant, so why did you lie to me that he was your moms assistant? If I didnt lie, would you have eaten it? I Xin Siyue swallowed her words. She could guess, without really thinking, that she most likely wouldnt have eaten the porridge if she knew it was him that had sent it. She just doesnt want any kind of unexplainable relationship with Chen Sinan. They have no relationship with each other, so why would he have other people deliver food to her? This makes it easier for others to misunderstand! Chapter 66 - Not Acquainted (2) Ch.66 Not Acquainted (2) Xin Siyue thought, if it were another girl, she would probably have misunderstood and thought he has feelings towards her. But Xin Siyue proudly and calmly gave herself an internal thumbs up. Luckily, she knew how the story would progress. She would be eliminated if she had any intentions towards Chen Sinan since she wasnt the female lead. Chen Sinans deep gaze never left Xin Siyue for a moment. After seeing her reaction, he said confidently, I knew it. Xin Siyue gritted her teeth, Then thank you for your previous kindness. But I dont feel your gratitude at all. He continued lazily, Is this the way that Miss Xin expresses her gratitude to others? It doesnt sound sincere in the least. Xin Siyue immediately looked at him defensively, Then what do you want? Lead the way, Chen Sinan said briefly. Isnt it the same if someone else guides you? I dont know anyone else, I only know you. Xin Siyue thought that he was unreasonable. Its only being a guide, does it matter who takes you there? Yes. Im not used to having a female stranger by my side. Hehe. Xin Siyue looked at him, contemptuously, Why werent you bothered when there were so many women around you in the mall? Chen Sinan smiled, I was just there to join in on the fun. How can you take that seriously? Xin Siyue was pissed off by his frivolous attitude. She was sure that he did it on purpose. She tolerated him and asked, If I guide you, does it offset the favor from last time? Chen Sinan gave her a look saying, Youre so innocent. Then, responded passively, You can ask Assistant Wang how troublesome it was for him to get you that porridge. If you think his hard work is only worth this much, then I think hes quite pitiful. Standing on the side, Assistant Wang beamed at his boss! In his eyes, Chen Sinan looked so manly at this time. He had never known his boss was this sweet. Not once has Assistant Wang complained to his boss about any matter, so how was Chen Sinan able to understand him so well? Even recognizing his hard work! Assistant Wang admired his boss and was thankful. The CEO was actually a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside! When Xin Siyue saw the expression in Assistant Wangs eyes, she was left speechless. She cant really say that he doesnt work hard enough Feeling reluctant, Xin Siyue gave up and said, I can bring you over. But once you are there, you cannot ask me for anything anymore. You cant pretend to be close to me. Chen Sinan had some issues with her words, We are close. Xin Siyue was about to turn and tell Gu Tong, but after hearing that, she refuted him directly and without hesitation Close your *ss! On the other side, Chen Sinans face became like Bao Qingtian after he saw that she didnt take him seriously. (T/N: Bao Qingtian C Northern Song official renowned for his honesty) This was the first time that Assistant Wang had witnessed his boss being contradicted and not yelling back. He tried his best to hold back his laughter. Gu Tong heard their conversation from the start; the back-and-forth between Xing Siyue and Chen Sinans conversation was shocking! How was Siyue not close with Chen Sinan! With this pace, they are clearly too close! Gu Tong, Ill bring them over first, and Ill see you there. Gu Tong still hadnt recovered from the shock. She grabbed Xin Siyues hand quickly as she was about to leave, Think about how youre going to confess everything to us tonight, after this has finished. Confess what? Xin Siyue was confused. The relationship between you and Chen Sinan! I Xin Siyue didnt think it was necessary to wait until tonight; she can clarify this with just one sentence C they have no relationship. Gu Tong seemed to know what she was about to say so she cut her off, Dont respond now, and dont think about fooling me. Just wait for us to serve you with cruel punishment tonight! Xin Siyue Chapter 67 - Jealousy (1) Ch.67 Jealousy (1) While being pushed by Gu Tong to leave, Xin Siyue was still puzzled. She really wasnt trying to fool anyone, so what do they want her to say? While leading the way, Xin Siyue was deep in thought, so she didnt say a word. Of course, the most important reason for her silence was that she didnt want to talk to Chen Sinan. But Chen Sinan wanted to talk with her! Although he could see her walk quickly ahead without looking back, he couldnt help but glance at her back a couple of times. When he couldnt take it anymore, Chen Sinan finally lengthened his stride to walk up to her side. Assistant Wang saw the whole thing from the back, his eyes widening from shock; then he purposely put a little distance between the couple and himself. He had to pretend that he didnt see the bosss embarrassing moment. Xin Siyue noticed something unusual after walking a few steps, she looked at Chen Sinan out of the side of her eye and frowned, What are you doing? Chen Sinan countered, How are you going to answer your classmates question? What question? Xing Siyue said without a care. Chen Sinan gaze deepened as he looked at her. Xin Siyue vaguely thought it might be that question concerning him. But that question doesnt even need any brain cells. She answered without thinking, I will tell the truth. You dont have to worry, this is not Shengjin City. Im not dumb enough to tie myself to you. Oh yeah, you also dont have to worry, I wont destroy your innocence. Upon hearing her words, Chen Sinan stopped and sneered, Xin Siyue, do you know how you will meet your end? Hearing him, Xin Siyue stopped and turned back to look at him in terror. Chen Sinan felt his emotions finally settle down, so he continued walking. While walking, he said, Because of your obliviousness! Xin Siyue rolled her eyes, she really wants to grab a brick and throw it on his head! Humph! Why are you so proud of yourself? I must tolerate him! Xin Siyue told herself to bear with it! She just needed to bring him to the lab building and then make a quick getaway. When they arrived at their destination, the principal came out to welcome Chen Sinan. When Xin Siyue saw Chen Sinan being surrounded by everyone, she withdrew quickly, while they were all clustered around him. She looked back at Chen Sinan cautiously during her escape, and thought, Hes indeed the male lead. He always has the halo effect surrounding him. The author had to be his biological mother! While Xin Siyue was looking back, she wasnt paying attention to the path and almost hit the person in front of her. Good thing that this time she didnt throw herself on to someones chest. Xia Qiao reacted quickly, holding on to her shoulder and moved her gently a little distance away. Xin Siyue realizing that she almost hit him again, apologized immediately, I forgot to pay attention to the path. Yeah, I know. Xia Qiao said, smiling, This wasnt the first time. Xing Siyue felt awkward. The corners of her mouth curved into an apologetic smile, then she changed the topic and asked, Is it starting? Wait for about 10 more minutes. Okay. The two of them had already met in the library. After that encounter, they saw each other a few more times afterward. Xiao Qiao was easy to get along and fun to talk to. With all of that, the two of them gradually became closer. Xia Qiao examined her red Chinese-styled dress and praised, Not bad, very pretty. Xin Siyue responded with a smile, Thank you, Im still not used to it yet. Is it your first time wearing it? Kind of. If you have a chance, you should wear it more often. It looks very nice. Xin Siyue smiled. Because the two of them had to do things afterward, they separated after talking for a bit. While searching for Xin Siyues figure in the crowd, Chen Sinan saw Xin Siyue talking sweetly to Xia Qiao. He immediately narrowed his eyes. She had never shown him such a pure and sweet smile! Chapter 68 - Jealousy (2) Ch.68 Jealousy (2) The whole time Chen Sinan couldnt keep his eyes off the host, who was gracefully presenting on A Colleges glorious history and the significance of the newly built experimental building. He was so moved that he turned around to the leaders and said, Your esteemed school is home to quite the talent, though he was mainly commending Xia Qiao. Xin Siyue was that close with such a polite and attractive young man? Each guest attending the event was distinguished in one way or another, so Xia Qiao specifically had been asked to host. He didnt disappoint. The leaders were proud but dared not show it. Why, president Chen, your school fosters much more talent than ours. Chen Sinan decided not to exchange any more pleasantries. Instead, his gaze landed on Xin Siyue, who was bustling about on the right side of the hall. He couldnt understand why she was willing to do such menial tasks. It seemed like she was quite happy doing her work, her face flushed as she smiled. While Chen Sinan knitted his eyebrows, the ceremony came to a satisfactory close; moving on to a tour of the new building. Chen Sinan was initially not interested, but reluctantly joined when he saw Xin Siyue in the back of the line. Opposed to Xia Qiaos systematic and detailed presentation of the complex, Chen Sinan surveyed the building with a glance. He noted how ordinary it was before seeing even half of the structure. Chen Sinan didnt have the patience to waste time with people he found boring, so he began to slow down and settle to the back of the line. Assistant Wang knew very well that Chen Sinan had slowed on purpose and followed suit, despite his doubts. When he noticed that Xin Siyue was also in the back, he suddenly understood what his boss was playing at. Xin Siyue noticed Chen Sinan, and could only stare in alarm. As the tour reached a turn in the corridor, he quickly grabbed her wrist, pulling her away from everyone else. Xin Siyue wanted to scream, but Chen Sinan covered her mouth before she could. If you want everyone to know about us, yell as much as you like! he hissed. Xin Siyue was angry. Whod want to be seen with him? Mmph MMMPHHH Let go! I can let go, but you have to do as I say and come with me. Mmmph Go where? Youll know when we get there. Xin Siyue was reluctant. Chen Sinan suddenly laughed. Its fine if you dont want to go with me. Ill ask your principal for permission instead. At least he will give me some respect If she really let him do that, Xin Siyue believed it would be pointless to stay in A College anymore. She quickly nodded her head. Seeing that, Chen Sinan loosened his grip in satisfaction and led her by the hand all the way to the parking lot. Assistant Wang was now certain that Miss Xin would be the boss wife. He respectfully opened the back door for them and, out of respect for their privacy, raised the partition between the front and back of the car. Xin Siyue urged Chen Sinan to loosen his grip. Hey. Youve been grabbing my hand the entire time. Why arent you letting go? Didnt he see how red her hand was? Chen Sinan let go, unwillingly. He didnt know what to say when he saw her wrist was so uncomfortably red. Why, when he didnt use much strength, was it like that? Xin Siyue couldnt care less about him. She decided to focus on the ride; but when she raised her head, only saw the partition instead of scenery. She couldnt help but worry. Why is there a partition? Chen Sinan took one last passing glance at her and decided not to comment. He closed his eyes to rest. What type of act is this?! Xin Siyue whispered to herself as Chen Sinan decided to doze off in front of her. The back of the car was cramped, and Chen Sinan had good ears. When he heard her comment, he reached over to pull her towards him. Xin Siyue had been shifting away at the moment, and she wasnt expecting him to suddenly move too. Somehow, she ended up stiffly throwing herself into him. As Xin Siyue landed on his solid chest, all she could think about was hitting him. But Chen Sinan was quicker and held her wrist in one hand, laying the other firmly on the back of her head. She was trapped in his embrace. Xin Siyue couldnt see his expression, so she wasnt sure what would be the best attitude or tone to take. She was in his arms, struggling to get out. Chen Sinan tightened his grip, ensuring she could only move her long slender legs. After floundering for one too many moments, she heard Chen Sinan say in a hoarse voice, If you keep resisting, I wont be as forgiving to any trouble you cause this time. Chapter 69 - Jealousy (3) Ch.69 Jealousy (3) If you keep resisting, I wont be as forgiving to any trouble you cause this time. Chen Sinans eyes landed on her long white legs as he continued to blatantly examine her body. In a relaxed tone, he replied, Whether I do or dont see Arent you afraid of what will happen to your image when you say stuff like that? Xin Siyue threatened, wanting to slap his stupid face even more. Chen Sinan grabbed her hand and smiled. You cant even control hands. Itd be better if I tied them up. Dont you dare! Xin Siyue increasingly felt like prey as her instinct to flee rose. She was a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. He caught both of her hands and even went so far as to seize control of her legs too. She couldnt escape even if she wanted to. Chen Sinan, Im warning you! Let go of me! I can let go but you need to answer a question first. Why do you have so many questions? Chen Sinan did, in fact, have a lot of questions. He looked intensely at her. Whats your relationship with that young man? What young man? The moment Xin Siyue asked, the color drained from Chen Sinans face. If you dont say his name, how will I know who it is? Xin Siyue asked bravely. So youre saying there are lots of attractive young men that you talk to? Xin Siyue was utterly speechless. How do you always know?! Chen Sinan pouted and quickly thought up a plan. He would eventually teach all of them a lesson, but Xia Qiao was first on the hit-list. So youre pretty close with Xia Qiao? Yeah, Id say so. Xin Siyue responded nearly automatically. By the time she realized what she had said, she could see the roaring fires had been lit in Chen Sinans eyes. He looked ready to slaughter someone. Xin Siyue was frightened and urgently tried to explain. No, no, no! Im not that familiar with him. Ive only spoken to him a couple of times. Chen Sinan observed her, trying to weigh the truth in her plea. Xin Siyue smiled sheepishly. Im honestly not close to him. Seriously! Seeing her state, she had no relations with the young man, he was satisfied. Stay away from him. Oh. Xin Siyue gave a half-hearted reply and wondered what the man in front of her was trying to pull. But it wasnt like she had agreed, either. After all, it was her right to talk to whomever she damn well pleased. As Chen Sinan observed her bright eyes hinting at the whirlwind of her thoughts, he knew that Xin Siyue was thinking of a way to go against him. He said, If youre brave enough, keep on giving him mixed signals then. Xin Siyue laughed. Whos the one sending mixed signals here? Forget Xia Qiao and me. Dont you see how strange the two of us are with each other? You know what they say, men and women should keep their distance. Now let me go! Men and women should keep their distance? Didnt seem like you cared before when you were chasing after me. Dont think of fooling me! Even if I did so in the past, I still never touched you, Xin Siyue quickly replied. You seriously believe that? I just Xin Siyue could barely finish her sentence. She could feel how serious he was. So, now what? You didnt lose your memory? Chen Sinan asked after a moment of earnest thought. Xin Siyue suddenly realized that she had divulged the wrong information. She racked her brain, trying to find a justification when her train of thought was interrupted. You better explain properly. Xin Siyue was enraged by his sharp gaze and struggled fiercely, gaining her freedom at last. She slipped to the leftmost side of the car, right by the window, gaining as much distance as she could from him. Chen Sinans breathing became heavy, nearly furious with the way she avoided him like the plague. You never lost your memory, did you? You were probably saying it all this time to save face. Xin Siyue lowered her head and arranged the hem of her skirt. She smiled and said, You can think whatever youd like. I mean, it doesnt affect me in any way. But Chen Sinan, I honestly hope that we wont have many chances to sit down and talk. Chen Sinan stared at her, only to see that she met his gaze. You have someone you like, and business to attend; why are you wasting both of our time? My wish has always been a simple one. I just want to live a quiet life. Even if its impossible, couldnt you at least give me two years? Chen Sinan, I dont think we need to talk about why I came to A City again. Dont come to A City anymore, Chen Sinan. Xin Siyue said her body full of determination. Chen Sinan looked deeply at her. And what if I still do? Xin Siyue turned to look at him. She helplessly smiled. Then I can only bother my brother to send me to a school further from here. Chen Sinan sighed deeply and let his incomparably heavy expression sink further. Chapter 70 - Nothing to Me Ch.70 Nothing to Me When the car once again stopped at the entrance of A College, Xin Siyue started to become confused. After making herself clear and saying what she wanted, Chen Sinans demeanor had a hint of gloom. But what really surprised Xin Siyue was that he immediately told his assistant to turn the car around and send her back. Xin Siyue was puzzled. After causing all this trouble, what was he planning? She couldnt imagine what he was thinking at all. As the car came to a stop by the entrance, Chen Sinan simply observed Xin Siyue for a while. She was sitting near the window and staring into space as if nothing had happened. He didnt even know what she was thinking. As he watched her out of the corner of his eye, he couldnt help but feel restless. Whats going on? Now you dont want to get out? he chided. Hmm? Xin Siyue replied passively. Chen Sinan did his best to control his temper, allowing only a spark in his eyes as he said sarcastically, You asked for all of this, so I hope you wont regret it later. What is there for me to regret? Xin Siyue couldnt resist the urge to smile. Youd better not. Chen Sinan spoke coldly. Whether or not I stay in A City, and how long I do stay is my choice. You have no right to interfere. Youre nothing to me, Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue looked at him without even blinking; then flashed another faint smile. Opening the door, she replied calmly, I never wanted to be anything to you. She said it softly, but Chen Sinan still heard everything. Xin Siyue didnt turn back to see his expression. This man has issues! she complained to herself as the car drove away. When she read the novel, her first impressions of each character was that they were all unique, in their own way. But now that she was randomly involved in their world, she had come to realize that they were all much more eccentric than she ever would have expected! At first, she simply thought that the male lead was an imposing person. If she were to name her biggest problem with his character, it was probably that he was too heartless and too cruel in his approach to everything But at that moment, Xin Siyue thought he was extraordinary in a different sense. If she kept her distance, hed be unhappy, so he occasionally felt the need to appear in front of her simply to annoy her. What a pain! As she walked into her college, Xin Siyue prayed silently. Please let him behave in a way that keeps everyone happy. He was smart, and she had made herself very clear, so he would understand. Since he was young, a seemingly infinite stream of girls had fawned over him at every step. Though he sought her out nearly a dozen times, it was likely because he was only bored`he wanted to find someone to entertain him. But Xin Siyue never thought she was special in any way, especially not in a way that would make him attracted to her. She earnestly prayed that they would never interact again. And on the way back, she prayed for Assistant Wang too. After she left, he was the one that would have to live with the storm brewing in his bosss expression Meanwhile, Assistant Wang sarcastically thanked Ms. Xin in secret. His boss was a glacier, but she somehow managed to make him even colder. How could he survive until they arrived at Chen Sinans abode? After some consideration, he asked, Mr. Chen, shall we return to the hotel or` Chen Sinan held his temper in, and coldly said, Go back to Shengjin City. Assistant Wang was so shocked that he talked aloud without a second thought. Werent you planning to stay in City A for a few more days? And Just as Assistant Wang was about to begin his next sentence, his mouth sealed itself at the sight of Chen Sinans eyes. He was being given a very clear warning. My apologies, Mr. Chen. I spoke out of line, Assistant Wang hastily apologized. Chen Sinan didnt say anything, only pressing his lips together in response. Assistant Wang didnt dare speak anymore, but he was still curious. How could Mr. Chen simply leave? Was he going to forget Ms. Xin? Did he come all the way to A City just to briefly talk with her? Assistant Want had gone through the trouble of fixing his travel schedule, but it was all for naught. Assistant Wang held a moment of silence for himself, grieving at the thought of having to revise the schedule again. In her happiness, she decided to accompany Gu Tong back, and the two unexpectedly ran into Xia Qiao on the road. Chapter 71 - Relieved Ch.71 Relieved Xia Qiao had already changed out of his formal wear, sporting black pants, and a simple white shirt. Gu Tong greeted him enthusiastically when she saw him. Host Xia! Xia Qiao smiled faintly. Dont call me that! Just call me Xia Qiao. Gu Tong smiled back. How could I? Even though I couldnt experience your hosting talent today, I overheard many classmates and seniors who attended, and they were all complimenting you. Host Xia was on fire today! His talent never fails to shine`not once! I dont even need to say how good he is! Xia Qiao continued to smile. Thank you. His eyes naturally shifted to Xin Siyue after he finished talking. Before Xin Siyue could even greet him, he said, When we were on the new building tour, I couldnt find you. I needed to ask you for a favor. What did you need help with? Xin Siyue recalled how she was practically dragged out by Chen Sinan, and because of that, she didnt know anything that happened. Xia Qiao shook his head and explained, It was nothing serious. Oh, one of the guests today was an alumnus from your school. Have you met yet? Xin Siyues hesitation showed in her eyes. She replied as she gave him an uncertain gaze. Are you talking about Chen Sinan? Xia Qiao nodded. Though he hadnt seen clearly when he turned around, he was certain the figure dressed in red and white that flashed before him was Xin Siyue. When surveying the people who were still participating in the tour, he found that only Xin Siyue, Chen Sinan, and Chen Sinans assistant were missing. Such suspicious activity made Xiao Qiao worry for Xin Siyues safety, but he couldnt just leave midway. He was greatly relieved when he finally saw her again. At the same time, he was curious about Xin Siyues relationship with Chen Sinan. But no matter how curious he was, he continuously reminded himself, it was Xin Siyues right to associate with whomever she wanted in her private life. He had absolutely no right to ask her about anything. Upon mention of Chen Sinan, Xin Siyue quickly brightened her smile and replied, Oh, he was just telling me he had to leave. Something urgent has come up, and he didnt want to bother everyone; instead, he asked me to show him the way out without attracting any attention. That was all? Hmm, then youve had a hard day. Xia Qiao smiled and spoke with a gentle tone. Youre probably tired from all the hard work today, you should go back and rest early. Of course. Gu Tong replied, Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Host Xia! You also had a busy day, so sleep early too! After saying their goodbyes to Xia Xiao, Gu Tong pulled Xin Siyues arm and excitedly asked, Wow Siyue! When did you become so close to Xia Qiao? What? Weve only run into each other at the library a few times. We talk for a bit whenever it happens, Xin Siyue replied. Wow, that actually works? Looks like I need to go to the library with you more often! Gu Tong exclaimed. Xin Siyue was speechless. I called you every time I went, but youve never responded like that. Now youre all gung-ho because you found out that your prince charming goes there too? Well, of course! The treasure is within our grasp! We need to march forward courageously! Gu Tong declared energetically. Oh, the one and only Xia Qiao hes so cute in that white shirt! Xin Siyue didnt really pay attention to him. She replied, half-heartedly at best. Hes alright. That reaction was so underwhelming! Xin Siyue laughed and said, What else do you want me to say? How else do you want me to react? I know someone who looks even better with a white shirt on Xixi Gu Tong was overjoyed. I finally have evidence! The person that you think looks good in a white shirt is Chen Sinan! She had seen him earlier that day as well, so she knew what he looked like in a white shirt. Xin Siyue turned speechless once again. Gu Tong decided to keep prodding. C mon, you can end this if you confess! Itll only be more painful the more you resist! Theres nothing to confess`Xin Siyue turned to look straight at her`because nothing is going on between us. At all. Gu Tong didnt buy it. I dont believe you! If you guys really didnt have any sort of relationship, then why did he ask you`and only you`to lead the way for him? Even Xin Siyue didnt know the answer. Why dont you ask him, and tell me what he says? Gu Tong was confused at how adamant Xin Siyue was being. Theres seriously nothing? Nothing, Xin Siyue firmly confirmed. Gu Tong examined her from top to bottom. She wouldnt stop blathering about how unfortunate it was; she was denied the juicy secret relationship she hoped for. Chapter 72 - An ‘Emergency’ Ch.72 An Emergency As Gu Tongs display continued, Xin Siyue watched, shaking her head. This girl could never imagine how heartless Chen Sinan was. It would be for the best if Gu Tong kept her distance from him too. Soon after, A College was on break. Xin Siyue never once thought of going back to Shengjin City. Alongside dance and piano, she signed up for English and French classes. The English classes were easy since she was quite good, to begin with, unlike French, where she had next to no experience. Xin Siyue made absolutely no plans to return home during the break, and she made a series of study plans that she kept a secret from the rest of her family. As expected, once they found out, each family member rejected them completely. It was only because they didnt want her to endure such hardship. Xin Siyue finally understood why the novels supporting female failed so badly. The most fundamental reason was, most likely, because her family spoiled her rotten. Xin Siyue actually wanted to live the relaxed life of a daughter born into a wealthy family`the kind that never did any chores, and only waited to be fed. However, whenever she remembered the unforgettable ending to her story, she was deterred from relaxing. She had to accomplish something that would be considered remarkable after graduation! It would be to her advantage that her family didnt collapse since it would only serve to pile onto her own troubles. Even if it were inevitable for her family would fall apart, if she had a job, she could at least take care of herself. Xin Siyue mulled over her predicament. If you lean against a mountain, it will eventually fall. So if you rely on other people, theyll do the same to you. I need to work hard and rely on myself, she thought. She was still young, so enduring a bit more stress and working a bit harder wouldnt kill her. On the other hand, her parents relentlessly tried to dissuade her; even Xin Qiancheng disagreed. If you want to learn those things, I can find you the best teachers in each field as long as you come home. Its simply improper for you to refuse to return for such a long break! Tch! You know I dont want to go back. So are you planning to stay there for the rest of your life? Not necessarily, but Ill see how it goes. Just let me do this! Ive already made up my mind, and Im accustomed to my new teachers approach. Help me just one more time, and I promise I will visit them when I have the time! Enough nonsense. Youre coming back! Im not. If you keep trying to talk me out of it, I wont talk to you for a month after I arrive at home. Do you honestly think you can threaten me with that? Xin Qiancheng didnt fall for her trap. Xin Siyue decided to act even more shamelessly. Then Ill cry in front of mom every single day. You Xin Qiancheng couldnt find the words to express his disbelief. Are you still a kid? No. Thats why I want to make my own decisions and do things that I like. Just leave me be! After Xin Siyues impressive persistence, her family eventually agreed. But they did remind her to take care of her health during her studies, to which Xin Siyue happily agreed. Time spent studying had always flown by quickly, especially now Xin Siyue no longer had time to care about anything else after a long day of school. Everything was going according to plan, until the end of August when a single phone call forced Xin Siyue to rush back to Shengjin City. Something critical had occurred; she had no choice, but to return immediately. As Xin Siyue listened to the message, she knew it was grave from the tone. She rushed home only to see Bai Ning and immediately knew what the emergency was. There was a birthday celebration for Chen Sinans grandpa taking place soon, and the Chen family had sent an invitation to the Xin family. The grandpas daughter-in-law`Weng Yinlin`even went so far as to make an individualized invitation for Xin Siyue, insistently asking her to attend. The moment Xin Siyue saw Weng Yinlins name positioned right by hers on the golden invitation, a panicked torrent of thoughts rushed through her mind. Oh my god! Im going to die, and its because of my mom! Why didnt I just tell her the truth over the phone?! If I had, thered be absolutely no chance that Id be forced to come back! Chapter 73 - A Sister or a Girlfriend? (1) Ch.73 A Sister or a Girlfriend? (1) As night approached, the city lights shone brilliantly in the darkness. In particular, the Chens villa was as bright as day due to Grandpa Chens birthday celebration. In the bright, spacious banquet room, Weng Yinlin and Aunt Song were busy greeting the guests, while on the floor above, Grandpa Chen and Chen An`Chen Sinans father`met with old friends whom they hadnt seen in ages. The spectacular lobby was filled with mingling guests. It was a truly magnificent display. After spending a few moments entertaining their guests, Weng Yinlin looked around for Chen Sinan without any luck. Just as she was about to call out for him, Chen Sinan suddenly appeared behind her. He had returned immediately after completing work for the day. After greeting a handful of the elderly guests, who were well-acquainted with the family, he made his way to Weng Yinlin. Mom, where are dad and grandpa? he asked. Weng Yinlin nodded her head towards the floor above. On the second floor, talking to your uncle. Alright. Just as Chen Sinan was about to leave, Weng Yinlin pulled him back and said, Youve been at work for the whole day, go change into a new set of clothes first. Then go see your grandpa, because I have something important to announce. She smiled meaningfully, cluing her son in on the big news. Chen Sinan examined her expression, trying to guess what she would reveal during the banquet. After changing into fresh clothing, Chen Sinan arrived on the second floor only to find that all the guests had cleared the room. All that remained was Grandpa Chen, Chen An, and Weng Yinlin. Happy birthday, grandpa. Chen Sinan did his best to show his grandfather respect, which was considerably rare. He realized that he left his gift in his car, and was about to leave the room when Weng Yinlin stopped him. Wait, Sinan. Id like to tell you something. Chen Sinan turned to look at her. Weng Yinlin gave Grandpa Chen and Chen An a huge smile,, and said, Dad, Im planning to use the party to introduce you to a girl. Which familys child? Grandpa Chen asked. Chen Sinan watched Weng Yinlin silently. His gut already warning him that something was terribly wrong. And just after Chen Sinan had a slight premonition, he heard it come true. She is the daughter of the Xin family`Xin Siyue, she stated. Chen Sinan furrowed his brow as he heard that accursed name. Weng Yinlin didnt seem to notice the change in his expression and continued obliviously. I saw her right outside Sinans apartment once, and she gave such a good first impression. As she talked, Grandpa Chen and Chen An shifted their attention to Chen Sinan in near unison. This could be the one, they thought after seeing his intense demeanor. I also traveled to A City two months ago and ran into her at a hospital. We kept each other company for the next few days, and I really felt a connection to her. Dad, Id like to take her in as a goddaughter, as long as I have your blessing. After finishing, she turned straight over to Chen Sinan and said, You know, I always wished for a daughter. Who wouldve thought that Id have a troublesome son instead? Shes quite easy to get along with, so I imagine youll come to like her too when you meet. What do you guys think? Dad? No, Chen Sinan answered. He did so before the two that were asked even had a chance to respond. Both Grandpa Chen and Chen Ans eyes flashed with anger at Chen Sinans outright refusal and blatant display of disrespect. Whats the reason for such an answer? Grandpa Chen asked with a grave tone and a deep voice. Chen Sinan had no expression and kept quiet, despite Grandpa Chens question still hanging in the air. Weng Yinlin pretended to be shocked. But last time you returned from A City, you said that there wasnt anything special going on between you two! Youre not a couple, and I want to take her as a goddaughter`you dont have anything to lose. And you even get a sister out of this! Shes not fit to be my sister. Then what is she fit to be? Your girlfriend? Weng Yinlin teased, not once forgetting to smile. It was only then that Chen Sinan realized`his mother was digging another hole for him to jump into. Chapter 74 - A Sister or a Girlfriend? (2) Ch.74 A Sister or a Girlfriend? (2) I dont agree with this. Thats all. Mom, if you want it so badly, then do what you like, but Im not suddenly going to say that I have a sister. It doesnt matter who she is. Chen Sinan went straight down to get his gift to silence Weng Yinlin. It wasnt as though the two were bound by blood, so there was absolutely no point having them act as siblings in some stupid game of house. Chen Sinan couldnt entirely hide his agitation as he went downstairs, and when Mao Shiyuan saw him, he was confused. What made your face like that? Did someone rub you the wrong way? he asked. Chen Sinan calmed himself and replied. Its nothing, Im just going to the garage to get something. Are you coming? Sure! The casual reply made Mao Shiyuan instantly feel at ease. The two of them conversed over a few job-related topics on the way, when Mao Shiyuan suddenly declared, I just saw Xin Qiancheng. Chen Sinan and Xin Qianchengs companies had been engaged in a tense bidding war the month before, which Chen Sinan ultimately won with a slight advantage. Since then, Mao Shiyuan had come to know Xin Qiancheng quite well. Upon mention of the name, Chen Sinan responded nonchalantly with a simple okay. Mao Shiyuan was still curious, though. Did Grandpa Chen invite him to his previous birthday celebrations as well? How come Ive never seen him? Chen Sinan knew the reason for his question all too well. The Xin family was deliberately invited by his mother. After returning to the lobby, he saw, as if on cue, a tall figure next to Chen An. Who else could it be other than Xin Qiancheng? Mao Shiyuan saw him too, noting how the members from both families appeared to be conversing quite intimately. He elbowed Chen Sinan and discreetly asked, When did Aunt and Uncle become so acquainted with the Xin family? Chen Sinan shot a glance at Mao Shiyuan from just the corner of his eyes. How would I know? There was no way he could know what his mother was planning anymore. Despite the presence of the Xin family, Chen Sinan couldnt spot Xin Siyue anywhere. She didnt come? Chen Sinan approached and heard Xin Qiancheng saying in an apologetic tone, Siyue is also very sorry. She wanted nothing more but to come to congratulate Grandpa Chen, but she was feeling unwell in every sense of the word. We insisted that she get enough rest, so she, unfortunately, wont be attending today. But when she recovers in a few days, well be sure to bring her for a visit. As the Chen family members listened to the apology, they also began to notice Chen Sinans demeanor. Chen Sinan showed no emotion, but he could still feel Xin Qiancheng and his parents gazes trying to look through him and see what he was thinking. What he was feeling. All he was thinking was a single question. Has she still not come back? Or is she avoiding me? He stopped this train of thought quickly and reprimanded himself for even starting it. There was no point defending her actions with contrived excuses. Whether or not she wanted to come, or if she came at all, had nothing much to do with him. As for the severity of her illness, if her family knew, then they wouldnt sit around doing nothing. There was absolutely no need for him to worry. Weng Yinlin was the first to become uncomfortable with the silence, which had stolen into the conversation for a few seconds. Thats so unfortunate, but its not that big of a deal. Siyue did return, right? she replied regretfully. In turn, Bai Ning replied with a smile. Yes, she just arrived this afternoon. Perfect! Tell her that whenever she has the time, she should come by. Our entire family will welcome her with open arms. Right, Sinan? After the mention of her son, Weng Yinlin realized that she had never formally introduced him, and hastily motioned towards him. Mr. Xin, Mrs. Xin, this is my unremarkable rascal of a son, Chen Sinan. Xin Jin obviously knew about Chen Sinan but played along with a smile. Youre much too modest, Mrs. Chen. You say your son is unremarkable, but Id wager our Qiancheng is even more useless. Xin Qiancheng and Chen Sinan shared a quick sympathetic glance as the conversation took an irritating but inevitable turn, before calmly ignoring their families. Chapter 75 - Xin Qiancheng’s Suspicions Ch.75 Xin Qianchengs Suspicions After a final exchange of pleasantries with the Xin family, Chen Sinan escaped under the pretense of greeting other guests. Shortly after, Xin Qiancheng saw an opportunity to speak with Chen Sinan. He walked to Chen Sinans side, which for once was unaccompanied, as he was finally free of the banquets guests. He confidently balanced a glass of red wine between his fingers and spoke casually. What do you want to do? Chen Sinan had his back turned right until the moment he heard Xin Qianchengs question. He turned to face Xin Qiancheng, and`with an equally relaxed tone`asked, What do you mean by that? Using every trick up your sleeve to make my sister return from A City After all that, youd have me believe the Chen family isnt planning something? If Xin Qiancheng had been on guard sooner, he never would have let Xin Siyue rush back. Heh, Chen Sinan scoffed. But he didnt deny a thing. You are implying the Chen family has some ulterior motive but, in the time you have spent here have you found any confirmation? Xin Qiancheng had on the edge the whole night but couldnt find any proof. This was why he wanted to test Chen Sinan personally. But how could Chen Sinan go easy for him? Dont be so suspicious of people, Chen Sinan suggested. You can never be too careful; particularly where you can get hurt being careless. This goes doubly for you and your family, Xin Qiancheng replied bluntly. I wont try to convince you. Chen Sinan chose not to express his opinions. Xin Qiancheng examined him carefully but gave up after realizing that Chen Sinan would never give anything away. He began to fear if he was overly sensitive; but if there truly was no other meaning behind the invitation, why would the Xin family have received one so suddenly in the first place? The two families never maintained any sort of contact, but Weng Yinlin had acted so amicably, it was as if she was talking to old friends. She also wouldnt stop talking to his mother about Xin Siyue. Xin Qianchengs ponderings over the special invitation eventually resulted in worry for his sister. Was it because Weng Yinlin, for an assortment of reasons, had her eye on Siyue? The party appeared normal, but was that because Siyue never came? The more he thought, the more convinced he was. Reaching a satisfying conclusion, he rejoiced. It was incredibly fortunate that Siyue couldnt attend due to her sickness. Otherwise, he would have had to guard against all of the Chen familys tricks! Meanwhile, Xin Siyue was lying on her bed with her hands clenched on her stomach. She had been tossing and turning all night but hadnt managed to find a comfortable position. She lay silently in bed, with nothing but her period to keep her company. She was fine when she had arrived in A City; but perhaps due to learning about the invitation and the sudden wave of anxiety that washed over her, her normally tame period woke like a beast anew. Her face unnaturally pale, reflected her pain. She had also lost the strength to walk, so there was no way to attend a party. Xin Siyue stayed in bed since she didnt have the strength for much else, and informed Bai Ning that she couldnt go. Bai Ning cooked brown sugar water for her, but to no avail. She saw that Xin Siyue was hopelessly ill, and her complexion stayed deathly white despite Bai Nings efforts. Rest well. Ill tell the Chen family, she assured Xin Siyue. Okay. That was exactly what Xin Siyue wanted. Though her period was essentially torture, it came at just the right time. She didnt even have to find an excuse to avoid attending. After Xin Siyue leisurely recuperated at home for a couple of days, she received another invitation. It wasnt as frightening as the first one`Zhong Qin was asking her out for a coffee since they hadnt seen each other for such a long time.If they didnt meet now, once school started, theyd most likely have to wait much longer. Xin Siyue planned not to return until winter break, so she agreed readily. Okay, send me the place and time. When Xin Siyue finally left the house, she not only heard a load of gossip by accident but met a certain someone as well Oh, how fate works in mysterious ways. Chapter 76 - Miss Lai and Chen Sinan Ch.76 Miss Lai and Chen Sinan Zhong Qin had asked Xin Siyue to go clothes shopping with her, but thanks to her period Xin Siyue was ultimately too lazy to try anything on. For the whole trip, she basically assumed the role of a personal assistant. She helped Zhong Qin carry bags, pick out clothes, and gave advice where she saw fit. Zhong Qin bought a heaping pile of clothes, and as the two of them leisurely strolled around with their arms locked together, she enthusiastically offered to treat Xin Siyue to a meal for her help. Sure, Xin Siyue replied. She agreed without hesitation. Zhong Qin brought her to a Western steakhouse and made small talk as they waited for their orders to arrive. Zhong Qin smiled and commented, I didnt think you were coming back for the summer. Xin Siyue took a sip of water before replying, I didnt want to come back, but I was deceived. By who? Xin Siyue thought of Weng Yinlin and Bai Ning. She shook her head helplessly and sighed. Never mind, the story would take way too long to tell. Zhong Qin raised her head and saw two women entering. One of them was wearing jean shorts and a white tank top and had just taken off her sunglasses. Zhong Quin was planning to ask Xin Siyue what she had been up to recently, but she stopped to examine the woman whose sunglasses were taken off. She leaned over the table towards Xin Siyue, and said in a hushed tone, Look over there. Isnt that girl in the jean shorts next to Ms. Lai from our school? She looks so familiar I feel like Ive seen her at school before. Xin Siyue followed Zhong Qins gaze, and also saw the two young women. She thought the one that Zhong Qin had alerted her to was only trying to show off with those shorts. The other woman, however, had long hair and wore a light purple dress. It was obvious that she was from a respectable family. Ms. Lai? Xin Siyue took a moment to recall if she knew either of the two, but couldnt. I dont even know them. Whos Ms. Lai? she asked in reply. Zhong Qin saw the two women, who didnt pay any attention to them, walk to the left side of the table. You dont know about Ms. Lai and Chen Sinan? she asked. Sorry? The incident and its fallout were both so bad that I thought for sure youd have heard! I tried not to mention it since I was afraid youd get all depressed if I brought it up! Zhong Qin said with disbelief. Realizing this gossip was about Chen Sinan, Xin Siyue immediately lost interest. Since youre so concerned for me, then dont talk about it, she said. It would be better if she didnt know. No no no, dont be like that! Ill tell you. Know both yourself and your opponent, so that you may taste victory in every battle! Zhong Qin declared confidently. Near the end of June, an entertainment company exposed a bunch of tabloid-worthy pictures of Chen Sinan. In them, there was one of him and yours truly over there`Ms. Lai` embracing intimately! The media went totally nuts over it, especially since it was Chen Sinans first time ever exposing that kind of relationship with a woman to the public. That picture was evidence, but in less than three hours, he managed to silence all the news about it. The head of the company responsible for the leak even released a public apology to Chen Sinan at the event, saying that he shouldnt have stirred up such trouble over nonsense. Soon after, Chens PR department clarified on a post that Chen Sinan had absolutely no relationship with Ms. Lai and that they would be pursuing legal action. Xin Siyue listened to Zhong Qin intently, and remarked, That neat freak germaphobe probably took it pretty badly. Just thinking of Chen Sinans disgusted face was satisfying. Not bad at all. Are you not curious about them? Zhong Qin was stupefied. Whats there to be curious about? If theyre really in a relationship or not. Zhong Qin was getting impatient. Didnt Chen Sinan himself say that theyre not? Xin Siyue replied. And youre going to believe him, just like that? Xin Siyue was speechless. The reason she believed him was because she knew that Chen Sinan only had a relationship with Sheng Wenyang! Every other female character slipped away like morning dew into the earth. When all was said and done, they were worthless to him and powerless against their fate. Chapter 77 - Payback (1) Ch.77 Payback (1) Xin Siyue looked into Zhong Qins hopeful eyes, and cleared her throat in an attempt to subtly change the topic, This is someone elses private life, so we shouldnt really care. Zhong Qin looked at her in confusion but eventually decided to move on. By then, the food had arrived. While Zhong Qin cut into her steak, she suddenly exclaimed, I finally remembered her! Do you know the girl that was with Ms. Lai? That was Shi Shi! The Shi Shi` from the art department! Shi Shi? Xin Siyue said the name, and her eyes gradually widened with shock. Yeah, Shi Shi. The young miss from the Shi family. Ive heard her reputation at school wasnt very good. So her last name is Shi. Xin Siyue suddenly remembered that the girl had also appeared in the novel once or twice. Shi Shi was a supporting female character, and Chen Sinan had disliked her so much he often made trouble for her. She clearly remembered when she teleported, she heard a girl blurt out that Shi Shi was the one who pushed her down the stairs. I didnt expect it to be her. Xin Siyue was always an eye for an eye kind of person, but she hadnt put much thought into how shed get her revenge. To start, she wasnt terribly experienced. Zhong Qin observed how deep in thought Xin Siyue was, and asked, You guys know each other? We have a bit of a complex relationship, Xin Siyue explained as she stood up. Eat first. I need to go to the washroom. Xin Siyue wasnt even planning on dealing with Shi Shi, yet she had already run into her. Just after leaving the washroom, she spotted Shi Shi leaning against the wall by the entrance. Shi Shi was waiting for her. I never wouldve thought Id see the Xin familys bitch ever again in Shengjin City, but now Ive had the misfortune of actually seeing you again. Shi Shi said the minute she saw Xin Siyue emerge from the bathroom. After a long stretch of silence, the lack of reply from Xin Siyue made the interaction deeply unsettling. Shi Shi looked over at her and met her gaze directly. Looks like you really did lose your memory. Dont remember who I am? Ill tell you. Im Shi Shi`the one that made you fall down the stairs. Slap! Just as Shi Shi finished, she was struck cleanly across the face by Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue felt the residual sting in her palm when she retracted her hand. It was her first time ever slapping someone, but it was a pleasure unlike any other. Xin Siyue smiled, looking at Shi Shis reddened face and smirked at how ridiculous she looked. Yeah, I did lose my memory, but thanks for reminding me. Your last name is Shi, right? Ill make sure to return the pain twice over, she said smugly. Dont get too full of yourself, Xin Siyue! Shi Shi screamed. She threw herself towards Xin Siyue like a wild creature but never reached her target. Xin Siyue nimbly dodged, while also managing to take hold of Shi Shis wrist. She twisted her body sideways and moved behind Shi Shi, locking Shi Shis arm behind her back, and slamming her against the wall. Shi Shi squirmed with a newfound terror as she was pinned. Youre not Xin Siyue! She doesnt know these kinds of moves! Who are you?! Let go of me! You dont need to be concerned over who I am. All you need to care about is that youre in my debt for as long as you live. And if you want me to let you go, itll be easy enough to convince me to. Watch that mouth of yours next time, or if Im not in a good mood, I just might decide to throw you off the side of a building. Have you ever seen the fluids that trickle out of a crushed skull?`Xin Siyue leaned in so close that her warm breath teased Shi Shis ear`The sight is absolutely beautiful. She relished every single syllable of her threat. Xin Siyue, you fucking bitch! Xin Siyue twisted Shi Shis wrist further, making her screech in pain. Let go! Now! If I hear you say another word, Ill make sure you pay up everything you owe me. Everything. From then, till now. Xin Siyue threw her away with disgust and shot a final abhorrent glare before leaving. Chapter 78 - Payback (2) Ch.78 Payback (2) If she wanted to take revenge, it looked like it wasnt going to be as hard as she had expected. While Xin Siyue contemplated how she wanted Shi Shi to pay, she heard Shi Shis voice behind her. Im warning you to stop acting so arrogant! You probably know the person who was with me. Even though Chen Sinan made her deny the rumors, my cousin is still dating him. Shes shared meals with him before and can enter the Chen residence freely. Grandpa Chen likes her so much, shell be the one to marry Chen Sinan sooner or later. Xin Siyue didnt want to listen to Shi Shi anymore, but could still hear her eagerly chirping. Even if Chen Sinan doesnt marry my cousin, theres still Senior Sheng, so youll never get the chance! Xin Siyue laughed at the comment, continuing to turn away from her. Who Chen Sinan would be with had nothing to do with her. Xin Siyue returned and saw that Zhong Qin had finished eating, so she asked, Shall we go? Hmm, sure. Zhong Qin didnt really have any objections. On the way, she asked, Did you run into any more trouble with Shi Shi? I saw her also go to the bathroom right after you left, and she was shooting serious daggers at you. Well, we do have some issues with each other. Xin Siyue replied. What do you mean? I cant really explain since I dont even understand it myself. What Xin Siyue could figure out, was that the two of them had started fighting over Chen Sinan. In the past, Shi Shi wasnt happy about her being with Chen Sinan all day, and there was probably a point where she just couldnt take Shi Shis provocations anymore. She still never remembered the moment when Shi Shi pushed her down the stairs in the novel. Her character was always bouncing around so energetically, so there were barely any scenes that described her injuries. What went wrong in the storyline? Xin Siyue couldnt wrap her head around it, but she had the feeling that she couldnt just let Shi Shi do as she pleased. Shi Shi would probably act out even more in the future, and if Xin Siyue had someone who thought of her as an enemy, how would she ever live a regular life with someone always causing trouble for her? The new development only reinforced the thought that constantly haunted her: Shengjin City wasnt right for her. Xin Siyue went back to A City the following day. Xin Qiancheng drove her to the airport and reminded her to take care of herself, but kept the goodbyes short as he had to rush back for a business meeting. While waiting in the airport lounge, Xin Siyue looked around only to see Assistant Wang in a black shirt. She froze for a beat before looking away, trying to minimize her presence. Nearly 99% of the time, wherever Assistant Wang went, Chen Sinan would be. She couldnt afford to be careless. Assistant Wang, unfortunately, saw her too, and nearly stumbled before maintaining his stride. He looked worriedly at his boss on his left. This felt like it, almost, wasnt a mere coincidence. Had the two planned to board the same flight beforehand? Assistant Wang was so obvious that something was wrong, Chen Sinan could tell almost straight away. Whats with that look? Well`Assistant Wang pointed to Xin Siyues direction`, Ms. Xin is also here. Chen Sinans turned to where Assistant Wang pointed; sunlight shone through the window and brightened the surroundings. In the rambunctious airport lounge, Xin Siyue was sitting alone in a chair near the aisle, wearing headphones and quietly staring at her phone. She was completely unaware of her surroundings. Chen Sinans sight lingered a bit longer. Noticing Xin Siyue seemed to have never looked away from her screen, he allowed a faint smile to curl his lips. Xin Siyue held her breath for the longest time, and finally, let out a sigh of relief after she felt Chen Sinans gaze on her disappear. What kind of coincidence was this, meeting again? Xin Siyue heard the boarding announcement, and caught them mentioning Country M. Wasnt Sheng Wenyang there too? So it was sort of like traveling a thousand miles to attend a date! Xin Siyue didnt spend much time thinking about it. After returning to A City, she was busy with life as usual and became even busier after school started. Chapter 79 - Pursuing her Dream (1) Ch.79 Pursuing her Dream (1) As the freshmen started their semester in September, Xin Siyue also attended the once a year hosting competition to hone her skills. In the competition, one must show off their talent. There were two options for the competition; piano and dance. After consideration, she chose dance. When her dance teacher found out that she was participating in her schools host competition, her dance teacher had personally adapted a piece of ancient dance music for her. At the end of September, Xin Siyues performance can be described as exemplary during the host competition. A lot of people praised her performance as catching their attention: whether it be her facial expressions, body language, or tone, all of these things made the audience feel at ease. Her language expressions and improvisational performance especially made her stand out from all the other participants. Xin Siyue was gratified. Before she had transmigrated, she had already been practicing for this profession in secret because she loved it. Now that the environment she was in allowed her to learn it without restrictions, she became even more motivated to improve and was satisfied with the results. But for the amateurs, what caught their attention was Xin Siyues dance and her light pink long flowing silk inner sleeves. Her dance moves flowed smoothly, showing both strength and gracefulness in her motions. The onlookers can sense not only the profoundness of her dance, but also the sentiments of the song by her body language and facial expressions. In other words, it was amazing. Even Gu Tong, who was quite close to her commented in shock, I didnt even know that your dancing skill was this good! Gu Tong inquired after her backstage after Xin Siyue finished her performance. She also felt that she had performed well. This was the first time she was so deeply immersed into this song since she first learned it, so she answered breathlessly with a smile, Theres a lot you dont know about! After seeing her smile, Xia Qiao, the host of the show, cant help but freeze for a few seconds. He didnt want to admit that Xin Siyue was the only person who was able to surprise him out of all the events he hosted. He can feel her confidence, as well as her effort and beauty while she was dancing. He had to admit that he wanted to pay more attention to her and uncover the other secrets she was hiding. Xin Siyues classmates in Shengjin City were also amazed by her. Some students from A College posted some clips of the highlights of the competition onto the schools official website, but many other students demanded that they only wanted to see Xin Siyues dance videos. As a result, after the videos were posted, there were considerable views, and the news of it had spread back to Xin Siyues school. Zhong Qin complimented her right after he saw it on the web forum, That was amazing! You were extremely beautiful! Xin Siyue was just about to accept his compliment when Zhong Qin continued, If Senior Chen saw it, will he regret that he didnt accept your pursuit? The more I look at you, the more beautiful you look! The original bright smile on Xin Siyues face froze on her after she heard him mentioned that Chen person, Zhong Qin, did you do that on purpose? What? Nothing. Xin Siyue didnt want to bring Chen Sinan up. Naturally, she became busier as she joined the schools hosting team for the new semester; she was as busy as a spinning top during the first month of host training. At the end of November, she started to officially host events. As expected, she received considerable praise. During the New Year evening party, out of the four hosts, she and Xia Qiao had shown great chemistry together while hosting. Some students even gossiped about it; they would be a golden couple and a good match. Xin Siyue didnt bother to care for those comments, but after reading the comments she realized that she had more contact with Xia Qiao because of this job. As finals week was approaching, she was too busy studying for the tests, so she didnt think more about it. During the winter break, Xin Siyue stayed in City A for half a month using the excuse of studying. However, she was urged by the Xin Family to return home for the Spring Festival. Chapter 80 - Pursuing her Dream (2) Ch.80 Pursuing her Dream (2) While she was buying the merchandise sold for Chinese New Year with Bai Ning, Bai Ning said, Whats so good about City A? You just arrived yesterday, and tomorrow will be New Years Eve already. Xin Siyue coaxed her, Mom, dont get mad. Ill stay a few days extra after the New Year ends. Bai Ning agreed reluctantly, You cant go back so early after New Year. Fine, fine, fine. Xin Siyue agreed orally, but she was already planning the best day to leave. She really thought that A City was good in every way, at least there was no one from the book in A City. Since there was no one there, she didnt have to worry too much. It also gave her the chance to be herself without any restrictions. She was worried about staying in Shengjin City for too long. Xin Siyue was one of the important characters that would carry the plot forward, so she was scared that the longer she stayed, the greater the chance that the plot will follow the storyline. She didnt want all her efforts to be in vain if the ending will be the same as it was in the original book, or else, it would be more than just tragic. While she was lost in her train of thought, she was pulled back to the present when she heard someone call out, Siyue! Xin Siyue turned to look back and saw Ji Yi, who was wearing a black sweater, staring at her excitedly, Xin Siyue, youre back? I thought I wouldnt see you again until your graduation ceremony! Xin Siyue never considered him to be an acquaintance, so she found the way he spoke so familiar to her to be inappropriate. As a result, she replied expressionlessly, Thats also possible. Ji Yi didnt care about her coldness, and continued, I saw your dance video at A College, you were great! I told you that your dance would amaze everyone last time, but no matter what, you refused to join the competition. Now, doesnt the result of host competition prove my words? Hehe. Xin Siyue, I just happened to invite a lot of my classmates to a party. Do you want to go together? They all know about you too Xin Siyue laughed sarcastically on the inside, thinking that her brain must have problems if she accepted the invitation. They know about me, but I dont know about them, so whats the point of me going? To meet each other, and even if you dont know them, youll be acquainted afterwards. Ji Yi said candidly. Xin Siyue rolled her eyes at him. Coincidentally, Bai Ning yelled her name while she was picking fruits. Xin Siyue responded to her mother that she was coming before she said to Ji Yi hastily, Thank you for your kindness, but Im not going. Bye. Hey, Xin Siyue! After Xin Siyue ran a few steps, she turned around immediately and said, Dont follow me! Ji Yi was stupefied, why did she become so hostile after coming back from City A? The more he thought about it, the more he thought that Xin Siyue was heartless. He even called Mao Shiyuan to complain, I told you shes not suitable for Senior Chen, Im smart enough to tell! After Mao Shiyuan finished listening to Ji Yis long complaint, he waited for him to take a break before Mao Shiyuan replied, Eh, who told you to provoke her? Why would she go to your class reunion when shes not even familiar with you? She doesnt even know your classmates; its going to be awkward if she went. Its all because Senior Chen isnt going. If Senior Chen went, she would immediately agree to go! Senior Mao, you dont understand Xin Siyue. Mao Shiyuan scoffed at him and said, Like you know a lot about her. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone because he didnt want to talk to him anymore. Chen Sinan heard the last sentence when he walked into Mao Shiyuans office, but he didnt ask. The two of them discussed work as usual. After they finished discussing, Mao Shiyuan finally asked, Are you still not planning to let me take a break for the New Year? You want to have a break? Chen Sinan lifted his eyes to look at him. Mao Shiyuan nodded. Sure, Chen Sinan said generously. Mao Shiyuan felt his spirits finally return to him after he heard Chen Sinans reply. He had been forced to work overtime while other employees left for break, so he had to take care of all the leftover tasks. Mao Shiyuan hadnt slept well in such a long time. After he thought of Chen Sinans inconsiderate orders, he said suddenly, Ji Yi said theres a class reunion today. Its still pretty early, do you want to go have some fun? You can go, Im not going. I have to go back to my grandpas place later. Mao Shiyuan already predicted his lack of interest in these kinds of events. He thought of Ji Yis words and examined Chen Sinans expression as he meaningfully said, Ji Yi said he saw Xin Siyue in the mall. Chapter 81 - Pursuing her Dream (3) Ch.81 Pursuing her Dream (3) Mao Shiyuan thought of Ji Yis words and examined Chen Sinans expression as he meaningfully said, Ji Yi said he saw Xin Siyue in the mall. Eh? Ji Yi invited her to go but she rejected. Eh. Im suddenly very curious. If you are going, would Xin Siyue agree to go too? Chen Sinan slowly lifted his eyes and glanced at him, I think you are too idle. How about spending a little time and finish the project proposal? No, no, no! I wont mention it anymore. CEO Chen, please let me go Humph. Chen Sinan contemplated about it while he was on the way home, but he still drove back to his old house. Since she didnt want to see him, why should he go meet her? After the encounter with Ji Yi, Xin Siyue became even more defensive. Now, she couldnt even go out of her house on New Years. She also realized on the night of New Years Eve, that there was no Chinese New Year special*! How sinful! (T/N: Chinese New Year special: Its a beautiful annual TV show that celebrates Chinese New Year where participants would sing and dance) She asked Xin Qiancheng, Arent you going to watch the Chinese New Year special? What Chinese New Year special? Xin Qiancheng asked in confusion. The next second, she became the stupid one. Xin Siyue was speechless. How can the author of this book not write about the Chinese New Year special? She was bored of staying at home! Her parents asked her to visit their relatives and friends house with them to wish them a happy new year, but she refused. She didnt want to go out at all. Bai Ning even suggested that she should visit the Chen Family since Weng Yinlin invited Xin Siyue last time, but she brushed off the advice. Bai Ning was still reluctant about it; she was afraid that the Chen family will think that Xin Siyue had no manners. Compared to Chen Sinan, Xin Siyue thought that everything else was less important. Manners? Not important! No matter what, she wont go, she couldnt go, and definitely would not go! So, when Chen Sinan was welcoming the Xin parents, he was extremely angryC Xin Siyue, you are ruthless. Xin Siyue rushed back to City A after staying home for a few days. Even until the end of summer vacation, she didnt go back to Shengjin City again. Xia Qiao was recommended by the school to the TV station in College A during his internship period. He told Xin Siyue that the station was planning to start an outdoor challenge program, so they were currently recruiting new hosts to get involved. This will significantly enhance her hosting skills and such an opportunity was hard to come by. Xia Qiao told her that if she was interested in it, she should start preparing for the audition and take part in it. Xin Siyue was surprised, I can go too? Xia Qiao explained smilingly, Eh, the station puts emphasis on talent, and you fit the requirements. Oh. Xin Siyue looked at his long eyelashes and asked, Why are you telling me this? Xia Qiao grinned, Maybe because I have faith in you. And isnt everybody else saying that we have good teamwork? I also think that our teamwork is pretty good. So? Are you going to sign up? Xin Siyue puffed her cheeks and thought over it; the answer was obviouslyyes! While preparing for her busy finals, she also had to prepare for the stations tests, interviews, and other processes. Then, after she was done with her finals, the TV station also contacted her saying that she was accepted. While Zhong Qin called her to ask about her summer plans, she was shocked upon hearing that Xin Siyue was going to stay in City A to improve her skills, Are you planning to stay in City A from now on? Ill see how it goes. Xin Siyue cant guarantee that she will be successful as Xia Qiao, who was able to stay in the TV station right after graduation. Zhong Qin analyzed, I think you have a pretty good chance. After all, you already got in and this is a great opportunity for you. However, Xin Siyue was more realistic. She will be hosting a brand-new show; the outcome of the show was still an unknown factor. But she also understood that this program was very important for her future. She must put in all her efforts and start off successfully. Chapter 82 - I Do Mind (1) Ch.82 I Do Mind (1) The plane slowly rose. Xin Siyue was in a trance as the familiar scenery outside the window gradually blurred Time flew by pretty fast in the novel. Two young and beautiful figures got off the plan and passed through the crowd towards the airport exit. Shengjin Citys September sky was blue and cloudless as the sunlight shone softly upon the crowds. As the gentle breeze blew past them, it gave people a sense of comfort and happiness. While enjoying the warm sun and the soft breeze, Xia Qiao, who wore a black long sleeved shirt and long pants, curved the corners of his lips and exclaimed, I finally understand why youre always so calm when dealing with different situations. What do you mean by that? Xin Siyue tilted her head to look at him while taking off her sunglasses. The unique features of a local environment always give special characteristics to its residents! Xia Qiao smiled brightly at her. Xin Siyue understood the underlying meaning in his phrase; he was complimenting the climate of Shengjin City! It was true, since even in the novel, the author described Shengjin City as warm in winter and cool in the summer. It was a good place to live; all four seasons felt like spring. Xin Siyue sighed in regret. Xia Qiao was wrong. No matter how great Shengjin City was, it wasnt the place where she was born, so this place had nothing to do with her growth. She didnt want to reminisce about her past, so she changed the subject and asked, You only have two days of vacation, why did you want to come to Shengjin City with me? Xia Qiao smiled and replied, I want to talk to people and gain more experience. I also want to take a look at Shengjin Citys scenery and visit your school. Xin Siyue was about to ask, whats there to see in Shenjing college, when she was disrupted by her phone ringing in her purse. She took her cellphone and saw that it was a call from Zhong Qin. Three months ago, during the graduation ceremony, Zhong Qin called her to remind her that no matter how late her program would end, she must rush back to Shenjin City. However, Xin Siyue still couldnt go back in time for the graduation ceremony due to her job. Because of this, Zhong Qin had complained about it for a long time until Xin Siyue couldnt stand it anymore. She wore her graduation gown once again and took some photos, before sending it to her friend. Only after that did Zhong Qin stop mentioning that incident. This time, it was the celebration for Shengjin Colleges 100 year anniversary. After knowing that Xin Siyue had agreed to Principal Zhaos invitation of being the host of their anniversary celebration, Zhong Qin would call Siyue to remind her everyday because she was worried that the same thing would happen. Even today, Zhong Qin called her before she got on the plane and called once again when she landed. Xin Siyue couldnt help but tease her after picking up the phone, Darling, strangers would think that we are a couple because of how frequently you check on me. We were not far from that point anyways. I even think that I worry more about you than myself, Im about to become your mother. Thats enough, if I have such a young mother, I would be scared to death! Zhong Qin laughed and scolded her, then she asked, Have you landed yet? When are you free? Ill treat you! Ill probably be free in the evening. Im going to check out the college first to understand how the celebration will proceed. Okay, sure! Give me a call when youre finished! After Xin Siyue hung up, she asked Xia Qiao if he wanted to unpack at the hotel first, or go to school with her and then accompany her back to the hotel later. Xia Qiao looked at her smilingly and replied, Of course Im going to school with you first. Okay. Xin Siyue fixed her hair that was messed up by the wind, and then stretched out her arm to call for a taxi. Chapter 83 - I Do Mind (2) Ch.83 I Do Mind (2) Xia Qiao cant help but smile as he looked at how nimbly she had handled all situations. The outdoor challenge show that was launched last summer in City A received exceptionally favorable ratings. The three hosts of the program, a senior with 5-6 years of experience, newcomer Xin Siyue and Xia Qiao all received high praises for the audience for their performance. Xin Siyues hosting style was dignified, magnanimous, and natural, which got her a lot peoples praise. Her Weibo fans reached 100,000 people within only half a month of opening her Weibo account. The TV station of City A also favored her hosting talent, so they signed a contract to keep her in their TV station. While Xin Siyue was a senior in college, she joined a few other reality shows in the station and all her performances was remarkable. Within a year, she transformed from a newbie in the industry to a host with moderate popularity. As her workloads continued to increase, she became busier, and so she only returned to Shengjin City a handful of times. The only reason she came back this time was solely because Principal Zhao asked her again and again, hoping that she would come back to her alma mater to help out. Xin Siyue couldnt refuse it, so she accepted the invitation. Upon arriving at her alma mater, she went straight to the Principals office. Upon pushing the door open, the faint smile on her face froze when she saw a certain person in a dark suit, sitting across from Principal Zhao. Chen Sinan? Xin Siyues fair hands were still on the handle when she was frozen in place. Why would Chen Sinan be here at this time? Who can tell her? Was it too late for her to withdraw? Obviously, there wasnt enough time for her to leave unnoticed. Principal Zhao looked up in her direction the moment the door opened. When he saw Xin Siyue, he nodded delightfully and then secretly examined the expression on the person across from him. He was about to speak when another voice came from outside the door. Siyue, what happened? Why dont you go in? A mans voice? Principal Zhao was very surprised. Little Xin, whos outside? Who is it? Shen Sinan already had an answer in his thoughtsCit was the male host, Xia Qiao. Upon hearing the question, Xin Siyue suddenly realized that she was acting inappropriately. She pushed open the door immediately and walked a few steps forward to introduce Xia Qiao, Principal, this is my colleague, Xia Qiao. As Xia Qiao and Principal Zhao greeted each other, the man who had his back facing them suddenly stood up. Chen Sinan turned around; his eyes skimmed over Xin Siyue and then landed on Xia Qiao. Xia Qiao felt the change in the atmosphere around him when Chen Sinan stood up. An oppressive aura surrounded him and it made him displeased. Chen Sinan curved the corners of his lips slightly and said with a lukewarm attitude, Host Xia, we havent seen each other in a long time. Xia Qiao replied with courtesy, CEO Chen, long time no see. It had been more than two years since we last met at College A. Hehe. Chen Sinans sight shifted to Xin Siyue, Indeed, it had been more than two years. Xin Siyue felt that there was an underlying meaning behind his words, but she ignored his gaze. She asked Principal Zhao for the schedule of the anniversary celebration and asked, Is the order of the programs confirmed? They will rehearse in the afternoon so you can adjust the order for tonights celebration. Xin Siyue knew that Principal Zhao had given her the authority to control the program, so she replied, Okay, thank you Principal Zhao. Where are the other hosts? There are three other hosts, their names are on the list. You guys can work on building good relationships with each other during the rehearsal. Xin Siyue looked down at the papers in her hand and flipped through them while answering without hesitation, Sure! Seeing her accepting the request without any hesitation, Principal Zhao said delightfully, If the students and the media knew that you are hosting the show tomorrow, they would be very excited. Chapter 84 - I Do Mind (3) Ch.84 I Do Mind (3) Seeing her accepting the request without any hesitation, Principal Zhao said delightfully, If the students and the media knew that you are hosting the show tomorrow, they would be very excited. Principal Zhao, youre overestimating me, Xin Siyue smiled and replied with ease. I know about your popularity in City A. I watched your shows and they were great. I believe that I have judged you correctly. Principal Zhao continued, Right, ANan? Chen Sinan curved the corner of his lips slightly to show his approval. Seeing that her list of things to do was completed, Xin Siyue wrapped up the conversation and said, Principal Zhao, Im going back now. Ill return in the afternoon for rehearsal. She had to eat lunch, bring Xia Qiao to the hotel, and then write the script for tomorrows anniversary celebration party. Principal Zhao thought that this opportunity was rare, so he didnt want to let her go so easily. Its rare for Host Xia and Sinan to be here, how about Ill treat you guys to a meal? You have to give me face, so lets have lunch together. Principal Zhao Can you not be this polite? Chen Sinan seemed to have seen her unwillingness, so he commented coldly, Is Host Xin looking down on Principal Zhao? Xin Siyue looked towards him with a forced smile. Chen Sinan, this person is sick! CEO Chen, you are joking. How am I looking down at Principal Zhao? I just thought that we are being impolite by having Principal Zhao treat us. Thats easy to solve, just make Host Xin treat us then. Chen Sinan along followed her words, his appearance was natural as it could possibly be. Xin Siyue gritted her teeth secretly, and then smiled to Principal Zhaos smiling face, Deal! Let Principal Zhao choose the place. Im not familiar around here. No problem, Principal Zhao was happy to see this result without doing anything himself. Chen Sinan made a humph sound, then walked out of the office first. Xia Qiao stood to the side. His confusion from a few years ago dissipated as he watched the exchanges between the three of them. Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan must have had a past that he didnt know about. Should he think about how to confess directly to Xin Siyue even though it was obvious to him that Xin Siyue only saw him as a friend the entire time? Should he confess? If it fails, will they still be able to maintain their current friendship? Xia Qiao was hesitant. Principal Zhao and Xin Siyue already decided which restaurant they were going to go, and Principal Zhao suggested that the four of them take Chen Sinans car to get there. Xin Siyue didnt have her car with her, so it would be convenient to ride Chen Sinans car. But she was also unwilling at the same time, so she wanted to know Xia Qiaos opinion. Xia Qiao froze for a while, then replied smilingly, Ill do whatever is convenient for my hostess. Thus, when Principal Zhao got on the back seat, Xia Qiao and Xin Siyue were stupefied. Xin Siyue became overwhelmed. Principal, what are you planning to do? Principal Zhao laughed when he noticed the awkward situation between the two, Im old, so its uncomfortable for me to wear the seat belt. Ill leave front row seats for you young people. Oh. Xin Siyue thought inside her head: Yeah, you are old. we all respect the elders and cherish the young. While she was hesitating between the front passenger seat and the back passenger seat, Xia Qiao quickly occupied the front passenger. As he put on his safety belt, he asked Chen Sinan smilingly, CEO Chen, you dont mind I sit here, right? Chen Sinan tilted his eyes and glanced at him for a second without any expression on his face. Yes, I do mind. Authors Afterword: I was stuck on this chapter for a day and night; it was so bad that I wanted to knock my head against the wall Thanks to my besties who conversed with me and gave me inspiration, and I was finally able to get out of writers block! *Tears streaming down* I have a little wish: I hope that I can exceed 4 digits in this years special column. Angels, please help me! You guys are the most beautiful! Hearts for you guys! Chapter 85 - Grant Your Wish (1) Ch.85 Grant Your Wish (1) Xin Siyue watched the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside the window, she felt that there was something strange going on with the current situation! Chen Sinan was completely focused on driving the car, she was focused on looking at the scenery outside, while Xia Qiao and Principal Zhao were immersed on chatting about this and that. This indescribable oddness lasted until the end of their dinner; after Xin Siyue ate a tasteless meal, she was glad that she could finally get rid of Chen Sinan. However, as they exited the restaurant, Chen Sinan unexpectedly said, Get on the car. Xin Siyue, Eh? Chen Sinan glanced at Xia Qiao and said, Isnt this Host Xias first time in Shengjin City? Then, we should act as a host to show you around. When Chen Sinan said we, his eyes were staring straight at Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue felt her scalp turned numb by his stare. There should be no we in that sentence! She doesnt need his kindness! She was about to reject it politely when Principal Zhao said, That would be great! I had been wondering where we should let our Xiao Xia reside. Since its like this, Ill leave this to you, ANan. Xia Qiao smiled faintly, I dont want to bother Principal Zhao and CEO Xing, Ill go to the hotel myself. Dont be so polite, Xiao Xia. Just let him bring you along. Principal Zhao smiled sincerely. Xin Siyue held back the urge to scratch her scalp in frustration. What are they planning? After Chen Sinan escorted Principal Zhao back to the school and Xia Qiao to the hotel, he coldly spoke to Xin Siyue without glancing at her: Get on the car. Xin Siyue stood next to the car and looked up at him, thinking stubbornly: I wont enter your car a second time! Now that everyone else had left, he began to use his oppressive aura. Xin Siyue cant imagine how dumb she would be if she get on his car. She ignored him and turned around to walk away. Just as she stretched out her arm to hail a taxi, Chen Sinan grabbed her slender wrist and dragged her in the direction of his car. Xin Siyue tried to struggle out of his grip, but Chen Sinan glared at her with his sharp eyes, If you dare to cause more trouble, I promise tomorrows headline will be about me and you. Xin Siyue gritted her teeth and glared at him aggressively! Do you think that youre amazing just because you have money? Chen Sinan lowered his eyes and sneaked a glance at her. He was content when he saw her baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. After placing her into the passenger seat, he closed the car door upon seeing that she sat there quietly. Chen Sinan got in the car and put on his seatbelt. He looked at her and saw that she seemed angered to the point that her face was expressionless. Does Host Xin want me to put the seat belt on for you? Xin Siyue snorted and didnt spare him a glance as she fastened her seatbelt on in frustration. She replied with a rude tone, CEO Chen, forgive me for being slow, but what do you mean by this? You dont know what I meant by this? If Host Xin thought about it carefully, how would you not know? Xin Siyue took a deep breath, she was unwilling to play around with him. I want to go home, Xin Siyue said directly. Since he seems addicted to acting as a driver, shell return the favor to him. Chen Sinan glanced at her coldly, only to see that she had already turned her head the other way; he felt a little suffocated by this. The car ride was very quiet, besides the few times when Chen Sinan had briefly picked up a few phone calls. Xin Siyue continued to look at the scenery flashing by the window. She tried her best to ignore his presence when she suddenly said, Thats not the direction to my house. Chen Sinan glanced at her and humphed inaudibly. CEO Chen, I apologize for troubling you by sending me home. Xin Siyue tried her best to keep calm; she was afraid that she couldnt resist the urge to go up and bite him. She had just came back and she had been seeing him all day! Whats up with that? Chapter 86 - Grant Your Wish (2) Ch.86 Grant Your Wish (2) Did I agree to bring you home? Chen Sinan said with a plain tone. You Xin Siyue was speechless! What was this person planning to do? The car drove into a familiar residential area, and after a long time of contemplation, she finally remembered why this place was so familiar. This was the area where Chen Sinan lived! While Chen Sinan was unbuckling his seatbelt, Xin Siyue deliberately smiled at him and asked, CEO Chen, are you going to invite me in for a cup of tea? Yes, is Host Xin going to do me this favor? I dont want to. Chen Sinan tilted his head and looked at her for a long period of time. He looked at her for so long that Xin Siyue felt chills run down her spine. Finally, in a serious tone, he asked, Whats Xia Qiaos relationship with you? What relationship? Are you guys going out? Xin Siyue was stupefied by this sudden question. Why did this person suddenly became interested in Xia Qiao? Chen Sinan watched her blinked her beautiful pair of eyes. It seemed like she was pondering about how to answer his question, but Chen Sinan lost his patience, so he said impatiently, Dont talk to him. Xin Siyue was speechless, CEO Chen, I think your request is over the top. First of all, Xia Qiao is my alumnus. Second, hes also my coworker, why do I have to talk less with him? When Chen Sinan heard that, he faintly smiled. He turned around and reached out his hand and lifted her chin by taking advantage of how close they were. Xin Siyue was suddenly forced to face his handsome face and deep black eyes. She had never been so intimate with the opposite sex before, so her cheeks began to burn up. She wanted to keep her calm, so she lifted one of her arms to push away his hand. But he quickly grabbed her arm and pressed it against the back of the car seat. This position! Xin Siyue clenched her teeth and tried to scratch him with her other hand, but he caught her other wrist as expected. Although her hands were restricted, she was able to make him let go of her chin. But there was a burning sensation in the place where he touched her, making her feel very uncomfortable. Why did Chen Sinan touch her? Xin Siyue was angry at how he was getting fresh with her without saying anything. Chen Sinan, I think youre the person whom I need to talk less to! Also, you better stop touching me!! Chen Sinan chuckled again, Are you going to say how its improper for me and women to touch each other? If you really think so, why didnt you say anything when Xia Qiao touched your elbow when we were eating? When we were eating? Xin Siyue thought for a long time before she finally recalled how Xia Qiao had touched her elbow because he was reminding her not to drink cold water. He told the waiter to change her cold water to warm water. She didnt take his action to heart. She didnt realize that Chen Sinan was sitting across from her during dinner, so he was able to see everything. Xin Siyue strengthened her nerve and confidently asked, Do you think you guys are comparable? Chen Sinan replied immediately without any hesitation, I dont compare myself with people like him. Xin Siyue was disgusted with how Chen Sinan thought of himself as the best. She refuted him, Whats wrong with people like him? Oh right, hes not as conceited CEO Chen is. He also doesnt get fresh with me like what CEO Chen is doing right now, right? Chen Sinan listened to every word she said, and it seemed to him that in her opinion, Xia Qiao was good no matter what while he was considered unendurable in every way. He frowned and asked, Is that how you see me? Chen Sinan, does it matter how I see you? Stop talking nonsense with me and let go of me! Humph, it seemed like you cant wait for me to let you go. No kidding! You should try this position. Would you be comfortable in this position? Chapter 87 - Grant Your Wish (3) Ch.87 Grant Your Wish (3) No kidding! You should try this position. Would you be comfortable in this position? Both of her hands were pressed against the back of the car seat and because he was so close to her, she had to adjust her breathing rhythm. She was angry and this felt unpleasant in every way. Humph. Xin Siyue, I will grant you your wish, so from now on, you better behave. What wish did you grant me? Xin Siyue was confused. Chen Sinans expression suddenly changed subtly, Serves you right that you only got this far during those years! This was a direct verbal abuse! She worked so hard to get here. Did he know how many small steps she had to take? Did he know much hard work and effort she had put forth all this time? Although she still hasnt become the top host, how did she become an eyesore in his eyes? What right did he have to belittle the hard work she had put into her work? Xin Siyues tone turned cold, CEO Chen, Im just a regular civilian, so Im different from you. You were born with a halo. But what I have right now is not something you can belittle, even though they might not seem as glorious, but at least they are things that I obtained through my own hard work. It was rare for her to have such a serious expression. Chen Sinan remained calm and collected as he loosen his grip on her hands and said, Go upstairs and change into clean clothes. When the time comes, Ill send you back to school. Thank you, but I dont need it. Xin Siyue opened the car door, got off, and then took out her phone to call someone. She will just tell Xin Qiancheng to pick her up. She doesnt believe that Chen Sinan would dare to get fresh with her in front of Xin Qiancheng. Xin Siyue found Xin Qianchengs phone number, but her phone was taken away by Chen Sinan before she was able to dial the number. Chen Sinan had taken large strides to walk around the car to grab it. Xin Siyue was mad, Chen Sinan! You bastard! Give me back my phone right now. Chen Sinan ignored her protest, once she got the phone, he used one arm to block her and used his other hand to type a set of numbers into her phone. As soon as he finished dialing the number in her phone, Xin Siyue heard his phone ring in the car. Xin Siyue stopped her futile actions and could only foolishly watch him return to his car to get his phone. When he returned her phone, he added, This is my private phone number. Xin Siyues eyes were filled with rage, Why do I need your private number for? Chen Sinan, can you not be so self-righteous and self-assertive? If Im self-righteous and self-assertive, do you think you would have leisure time during these past two years? Chen Sinan glanced at her after he finished speaking and clenched his teeth. He said, Youre heartless! Xin Siyue wanted to turn her head and just walk away, and she did. But Chen Sinan grabbed her wrist again and pulled her back when she had only walked a couple of steps. Xin Siyue had a headache and supported her head with her hand, Chen Sinan, dont do this. Lets have a talk and figure everything out. Its not something I can explain. He refused to have a serious conversation with her. After all, he already knew that whatever she will say, wont be anything he wanted to hear. You! You can continue to walk out on me, but I wont be a gentleman where I only grabbed your wrist the next time you walk out on me. Xin Siyue felt like there was fire burning in her eyes! How was he a gentleman? She didnt see it at all! Chapter 88 - Plot Has Deviated (1) Ch.88 Plot Has Deviated (1) The two refused to budge. Xin Siyue, who wasnt in the mood to have a battle of wits and bravery with him, said: President Chen, can you be generous enough to bring me to school? How could it have looked to others when he suddenly told her to come to his apartment? She didnt know when the two of them became familiar with each other. They clearly hadnt spoke once in the past two years. Chen Sinan smiled at her. Are you that uncomfortable being with me? Xin Siyue shrugged her shoulders. I am indeed feeling quite uncomfortable. Lets stop seeing each other from now on. They simply didnt have anything to say. Upon hearing her blunt words, Chen Sinans face immediately turned gloomy. Xin Siyue smiled. President Chen, Im just saying the truth. If you really cant take this, just leave me alone. We can just stop seeing each other. Are you just going to repeat these words? Then why do you keep on torturing me? Chen Sinan, I dont know what you want to do but I really dont have time to entertain you. Xin Siyue said indifferently, Im not interested. Chen Sinan tried to suppress the stormy expression on his face as he asked calmly, Whats your reason? What reason? The reason why youre not interested. Xin Siyue laughed. I need a reason for why Im not interested? Xin Siyue, dont think that you can casually dismiss me. I wont let you use the same reasons twice. I will give you time to get used to this. Xin Siyue was flabbergasted. Was she not speaking the human language? She had no idea how to continue to communicate with him! This person was simply unfathomable. Why must he pester her endlessly?! She waved her hands. My head hurts. I dont want to talk to you about this. You should bring me back to school. If not, Ill call a taxi. She said this and was about to leave. Seeing her unwell expression, Chen Sinan knitted his eyebrows. He took a step back and said, Ill bring you back to rest. Xin Siyue waved her hand. Her house was quite far from school and she wouldnt be able to catch up with the rehearsal time had she taken a round trip back home. How would she even have time to rest? Bring me back to school. Chen Sinan allowed her to have it her way, seeing how persistent she was. When they arrived at school, Xin Siyue found the three other hosts who were discussing the dress rehearsal that they will be having. With Xin Siyue, there were two men and women. That way, the pairs made the division of work convenient. The three hosts chosen from the school were quite remarkable. They looked at Xin Siyue in admiration and shock. One of the rather small and delicate female hosts even asked Xin Siyue for her signature and requested a photo with her. They discussed for a while before Xin Siyue concluded their draft. She asked for a laptop and printed out the script she thought of on the way here. In the end, she made a few changes. The initial draft was set and it was about time for the dress rehearsal. They followed the original workflow. Everyone was shocked by her aura as Xin Siyue greeted everyone at the beginning of the event. The three hosts secretly admired her inside their hearts. As expected, she was truly a host from the TV station! Her model and ability was different from others! Because of this, the three of them gave their best, trying to keep up with Xin Siyue. The entire workflow of the dress rehearsal was quite successful. They fixed some parts that werent satisfactory and Xin Siyue slightly adjusted the order of the programs appearing on stage so that the entire evening partys programs will flow smoothly. Upon completing her work, Xin Siyue glanced at the clock and saw it was 4:40pm. She was about to call Zhong Qin when unexpectedly, Chen Sinan passed through the school corridors and headed for the assembly hall. At this moment, Xin Siyue, who stood by the assembly halls door, finally detected something wrong. She looked to the left and to the right, trying to find an escape route when Chen Sinan arrived in front of her. He said in an extremely natural tone, Its over? Ill drive you back. Xin Siyues heart thumped quickly. Not right, not right. There seems to be something wrong! How can Chen Sinans character setting digress completely from the novels? Why was he acting nervously and wanting to bring her home? Even if he wanted to be a protector, he should be doing that for Sheng Wenyang! Sheng Wenyang! Xin Siyue who forgot about Sheng Wenyangs existence due to how busy she was, suddenly remembered her. Its not right. It was now September. According to the original novels development, Sheng Wenyang shouldve already returned to the country in brilliance in June! Xin Siyue suddenly realized that this world was no longer following the path of the original novel. The timeline was in disorder and the character settings had collapsed as well. What will happen next? The ending? Will it change as well? Xin Siyue couldnt help but blink her eyes at these thoughts. Could it be because she had barged into this world and broke the original path of this world? Xin Siyue believed in this possibility the more she thought about it. She thought of another question. Now that the world wasnt developing based on the original books plot, wouldnt her ability to predict the future no longer be useful? Xin Siyue couldnt help but facepalm herself. Why did it become like this? Chapter 89 - Plot Has Deviated (2) Ch.89 Plot Has Deviated (2) Are you that annoyed at seeing me? Huh? Xin Siyue couldnt help but look up at him when she heard his voice. Chen Sinan looked at her curiously. Xin Siyue didnt want to be bothered by him. She was about to walk around him and leave when he pulled on her wrist. Im bringing you to eat. Its not even five yet! Xin Siyue looked up at him in disbelief. Why are they eating right now? Its too early. Ill bring you for a stroll on the way. Xin Siyue snorted. President Chen, you want to experience the feeling of traffic jam during the rush hour after work? Chen Sinan then realized that his suggestion indeed wasnt sensible enough. Xin Siyue looked at him in alarm. She was about to leave when she heard someone say in a surprised tone, Oh, my goodness! Chen Sinan! Oh my god! Senior Chen came to school! Hes so handsome! I didnt think I can see him in person! Xin Siyue listened to the group of girls discussion and thought in disdain: He is quite handsome but appearance isnt everything, right? She pursed her lips and watched him standing there motionlessly. She thought: She wasnt interested in standing here and watching the girls fawn over him. Xin Siyue turned around and left. Who knew that ChenSinan had followed her and caught up with his long legs. She sped up her pace, but he still leisurely followed her. Xin Siyue was indignant. Chen Sinan, what do you want? Why are you following me?! Im beginning to doubt your IQ if you still dont understand it, despite how obvious it is. Xin Siyue was speechless. It doesnt make sense. She cant communicate properly with him! She calmed down and called Zhong Qin, inviting her out for food. She hung up after telling her the time and place. Xin Siyue said, Im going out to eat with my best friend. Are you going to follow me still? Chen Sinan pondered deeply about it before he said, Call me once youre done. Ill come and pick you up. Xin Siyue was speechless. Did his soul travel through time as well? He wasnt the Chen Sinan from the book at all! Who are you?! Xin Siyue asked sternly. Chen Sinan thought this question was strange but he asked in reply, How about you? Then who are you? Xin Siyue stared at his eyes and felt the brilliant eyes flickering, full of playfulness. She suddenly shivered and felt like he had noticed something. She pondered about it before she replied vaguely, Who do you think I am? Chen Sinan directly responded, You should ask yourself that question. Am I not Xin Siyue? Names can just be code names sometimes. There have been many people with the same name and surname since the ancient times. Some looked even identical with each other. Though, its rare for someone to have the same voice as another. Chen Sinan observed her sudden pale face and continued to say, but just because it is rare doesnt mean the possibility doesnt exist. Xin Siyue was stunned. Her whole mind was thinking: He found out? He found out! When did he find out?! I dont know what youre talking about! She avoided his eyes and rushed off. Chen Sinan calmly walked behind her and continued to say to himself, Plastic surgery? It doesnt look like it. Whod you say had plastic surgery?! Xin Siyue retorted without hesitation. Not plastic surgery? Do you have a twin then? Hah, President Chen. You have a creative imagination. Then what about your voice? Why is it exactly the same? No, its not exactly the same. The person talking before had a very unpleasant voice. Your tone and expressions are different from hers as well. Xin Siyue secretly thought: If the original host knew that Chen Sinan had actually paid attention to her in the past unlike her belief that he hadnt, would she feel slightly comforted? Xin Siyue believed that she was overthinking this. She was unwilling to answer but Chen Sinan continued to close in on her. What? Is there an unspeakable secret? Xin Siyue didnt even look at him. She said, You can think whatever you want. Then you just need to answer one question. Youre not her, right? Is it important to know whether Im her or not? Xin Siyue reminded, Chen Sinan, dont waste your time on me and dont waste my time either. Life is so boring. If I dont waste time, how will time pass by? Xin Siyue glared harshly at him. She felt like there wasnt enough time to use everyday. Yet, he was managing two big companies and he dared to say that he wanted to kill time because he was bored. Xin Siyue sighed. He was indeed the male lead. He was probably the son of the author which is why the villainess is looked upon worthlessly. She finally got rid of Chen Sinan and went to meet up with Zhong Qin. Zhong Qins first sentence was, I saw you coming out from the black car for a second. If I remember correctly, the car was a bit familiar. Xin Siyue pulled out a seat and sat down. She said weakly and without strength, What do you want to say? Cut straight to the chase. Zhong Qin stretched her body halfway over the table and smiled flatteringly. Did Senior Chen bring you over? Xin Siyue stared at her, not blinking at all. Zhong Qin automatically received the answer. She excitedly said, Oh! Youve grown up! Xin Siyue, explain honestly. Whats your relationship with Chen Sinan? When did this happen? Xin Siyue felt helpless. On the contrary, I want to know if Chen Sinan had been provoked in the past two years in any way. Hes acting so abnormal, completely unlike himself! Chapter 90 - Sheng Wenyang Returns (1) Ch.90 Sheng Wenyang Returns (1) Xin Siyue clearly didnt place Chen Sinans words in her heart after seeing Zhong Qin. When she returned to Xin Family, she couldnt help but be touched by how Bai Ning prepared the table of gourmet food in high spirits for her. Aunt Chen helped carry the cooked dishes over to the table as she smiled splendidly at Xin Siyue. She said, Madam knows that you will be home tonight and had been pondering over what dishes she should prepare for you since earlier this afternoon. She had been trying out different things in the kitchen since a long time ago. Young miss, all these dishes are personally cooked by Madam. When Bai Ning heard that her daughter was back, she wiped her hands and walked out from the kitchen. She smiled then said, Are you tired? If you are, you can go up and rest for a while. Xin Siyue couldnt help but hug Bai Ning after seeing her. She grinned then responded, Mom, how can we finish all the food you cooked later on? Its ok, its ok. Its because you seldom come home! Xin Siyue felt even more ashamed after hearing this. Because of her studies and work, she rarely came home. Xin Siyue smiled sweetly and grabbed onto Bai Nings arms. She said, Mom, how about I find time to come home frequently in the future? Silly child! That would be great! Xin Siyue looked at her smiling face and believed she definitely needed to return home more often. At night, when the whole family was happily eating, Xin Siyues phone rang. She hurriedly ran over to the sofa where she had left her phone, and answered it after a couple rings. Hello. Where are you? At home. Xin Siyue answered subconsciously. Then, she realized that who else would the deep voice belong to if it wasnt Chen Sinan? She hurriedly moved the phone away from her ears to look at the screen. It was a bunch of unfamiliar digits. Xin Siyue recalled him taking her own phone to call himself. She looked serious and asked, Is there a matter? Its good that you arrived home safely. You Xin Siyue didnt even get to continue her words when Chen Sinan said, Rest well. He hung up right after. Xin Siyue glanced at her phone which displayed call ended. She was unable to comprehend what happened. What was he doing? Did he call just to confirm her safety? Xin Siyue felt that this was becoming more and more unrealistic. Xin Qiancheng watched as she stared blankly at her phone and asked, Who called? Is there an urgent matter? The food is getting cold. Xin Siyue hurriedly answered, Nothing. Ill be coming. She decided to just stop thinking about Chen Sinan. It was rare for Xin Siyue was on vacation. After her nap, she woke up to shop a bit with Bai Ning. When that ended, she went straight to school. The school was bustling with people during the anniversary of the founding of the school. Besides the students who passed by and forth, there were numerous senior brothers and sisters returning back to the alma mater. The atmosphere around school was pretty good. After Xin Siyue strolled for a bit, she was nagged by a few junior sisters. They said that they recognized her as A Citys TV Stations host. They had a lively discussion talking about how much they liked and admired her. After that, they wanted to take pictures and get her signatures. Xin Siyue was amiable and approachable so she satisfied each one of them. When she signed her name for the last person, she got ready to leave. A girl with round glasses asked shyly, Senior Sister Xin, I am from the Reporters Department in school. I really enjoyed your hosting in various programs so I want to interview and write a report on you. Senior Sister Xin, is it ok? Xin Siyue pondered over it and replied, Its not like you cant. The group of girls were slightly excited and the girl wearing round glasses was in high spirits. So Senior Sister Xin agrees? Its not really a problem. The main point is that Im short on time. I have something else later on and after Im done, I will be flying straight back to A City tonight. How about this? Give me your number and when I have time, I will set an appointment with you. Sure, sure, sure! Thanks Senior Sister! Chapter 91 - Sheng Wenyang Returns (2) Ch.91 Sheng Wenyang Returns (2) After Xin Siyue bid them farewell, she headed straight for the assembly hall. She confirmed the entire programs workflow with the hosts again before she began to change clothes and applied makeup. The evening gown was prepared by the school in advance. When Xin Siyue saw the sapphire blue evening gown, she was a bit shocked. When did the schools gowns become so high quality? The sapphire blue dress smoothly fell on the ground. The high-waisted design made her seem even more slimmer and tall. When Xin Siyue saw the embedded dazzling diamonds on the V neck, she couldnt help but think: the school is really spending quite a bit. However, as expected, the dress looked really good on her. Xin Siyue tried on the white taper high heels which were embedded with diamonds as well. It made the dress look good with the heels. Not bad. Xin Siyues outfit took many peoples breaths away. When the evening party began, the audience was in complete silence when the four hosts just appeared. After a few minutes, shrieks and cheers rang from everywhere. The different media that Principal Zhao had invited aimed their cameras at Xin Siyue from time to time and took some close up photos. The whole time, Xin Siyue maintained a sweet slight smile. She automatically ignored Chen Sinan who sat under the stage by the first row to the left utmost seat. He wore a black suit and held a quiet but deep gaze at her. When the programs successful hit its half-way point, the hosts were requested to add two more programs. Xin Siyue looked at the names of the programs that the person in charge handed her. Special guest: Xia Qiao. Performance: singing. There was also another grand finale mysterious guest. The person in charge of announcing the programs was conveniently Xin Siyue as well. When she introduced Xia Qiaos program, she said, The next guest appearing is someone who means a lot to me. He used to be my Senior Brother and the person who guided me into hosting, this career. You could even say that we have been fighting bravely through obstacles side by side up until now. I am thankful for him and thankful that he had blessed my alma mater, Sheng Jin College. Now, lets welcome Xia Qiao! Xia Qiao wore simple black pants with a white t-shirt. He wasnt lacking in handsomeness either. He smiled and waved towards the audience under stage. He said, Im very happy that I am able to make it on time to Sheng Jin Colleges grand annual anniversary. Sheng Jin College is a place that brings people warmth and positive energy. I wish for a better and more beautiful tomorrow for Sheng Jin College! Now, I will share my favorite song with you guys. Hopefully, everyone who is sitting here right now will have a brighter and splendid future. Xia Qiaos voice was pleasant to the ears. When he wholeheartedly devoted himself to singing the song, he was unable to stop himself. Xin Siyue stood by the corner of a side on stage. She concentrated on him and listened to him sing the entire song. From time to time, she could feel that Xia Qiao shifted his body to look at her on stage. When Xin Siyue made eye contact with him, she would slightly smile. Xia Qiao would respond with a slight smile as well. In the course of time, Chen Sinan seemed to have noticed this. He emitted cold aura in his surroundings. When the music was about to end, Xia Qiao seamlessly looked at Chen Sinans darkened face. Right after, the moment the last note of the song landed, he said, Thank you everyone! Also, thank you Principal Zhao and Siyue. The way he said her name made them feel so intimate and close with each other! Everyone who was immersed in the song didnt really care for the address. Yet, a certain someone took this to heart. The evening party was approaching its end. The second to last program was about to end in almost two minutes. Xin Siyue was about to head back on stage when she heard her partner, a slim and female host ask the two other male hosts, Do you guys have any clue who the mysterious guest is? I didnt hear of any influential figures in the student union arriving! Chapter 92 - Sheng Wenyang Returns (3) Ch.92 Sheng Wenyang Returns (3) Do you guys have any clue who the mysterious guest is? I didnt hear of any influential figures in the student union arriving! I didnt either. Wont we find out later on? Xin Siyue lifted her dress and walked gracefully and gently to the center of the stage. After she announced the next program and was about to head down from a corner of the stage, she noticed the lights around the stage all dimmed down. Right after, the graceful figure walking out from the other side of the stage became clearer and clearer. She wore a white strapless slit dress and the length of her hair reached her shoulder. The woman naturally and gracefully walked to the center of the stage as the lights brightened. Xin Siyue who stood by a corner was blinded by the diamond bracelet and the womans necklace in the shape of a water drop. She slightly squinted her eyes to hear the woman introducing herself after slightly smiling at everyone. Hello everyone, I am Sheng Wenyang! The audience was shocked! She was the famous Sheng Wenyang from the jewelry industry?! She actually appeared during Sheng Jin Colleges anniversary! The lights flashed non stop. Yet, Xin Siyue was stunned and remained unmoved. Sheng Wenyang? She is the Sheng Wenyang, the original female lead from the book? Shes back? She actually returned at this time! Xin Siyue watched as she smiled brightly and acted generously, properly introducing the set of jewelry she had designed specially for the alma mater. She even donated a total fund of ten million as an investment for the school. When she slightly bowed to express her gratitude of the alma mater for educating her, everyone clapped thunderously. It was time for the hosts to head on stage and thank Sheng Wenyang. When the entire evening party ended, the three hosts just noticed Xin Siyue miraculously still standing in her original spot. Sister Xin, are you ok? The other female host reached over to hold on her wrist. Xin Siyue then snapped out of her trance. She shook her head and said, Its our turn to head back out. Are you guys ready? That woman looked worriedly at her before she said, Sister Xin, your face is a bit pale. Is something wrong? Nothing. Xin Siyue rapidly adjusted her state of mind and walked under the spotlight. Why did she have such an intense reaction to Sheng Wenyang when she saw her? Hadnt she been looking forward to Sheng Wenyang returning? As long as she returned, no one will continue to pay attention to her and Chen Sinans past. Chen Sinan wont go find her from time to time anymore. But why did she feel so uneasy now that her wish is granted? When the evening party ended, Xin Siyue immediately headed down the stage and subconsciously looked over at Chen Sinans seat. What was his expression when he saw Sheng Wenyang? What a pity that the seat was empty. Xin Siyue suddenly laughed. Why is she thinking so much because of Sheng Wenyang? So what if she returned? After all, her flight was at midnight and she will be returning back to A City. What could happen? Xin Siyue went backstage and took pictures with everyone for memory. Then, she went to the changing room to change out of her evening gown. When she came out, Zhong Qin had been waiting for her outside the door. Your flight is at midnight, right? Ill take you over. Xin Siyue said, Its too late. Its dangerous for you to come back alone. My brother will bring me over. Zhong Qin glanced at her face and asked, Are you not feeling well? Why is your face so pale? Xin Siyue waved her hands, gesturing that she was ok. Zhong Qin stared at her, not believing her. She guessed, Is it because Senior Sister Sheng came back? Its not because of that. Xin Siyue said. Her phone rang and she hurriedly took out her phone to see. Its Xia Qiaos call. Let me answer him. Zhong Qin hummed in agreement. When she got off the call, the two went to meet up with Xia Qiao. There were two more hours before midnight. The three found a place and ordered some drinks. After Xin Siyue and Zhong Qin bid each other farewell, they went back to their respective homes, while Xia Qiao went back to his hotel to grab his luggage. The two decided to meet up at the airport. After Xin Siyue and Xia Qiao separated, she felt her head ringing and buzzing since the end of the evening party. She didnt want to immediately take a car back home so she walked along the road for a bit, when she suddenly felt someone grab onto her wrist. Chapter 93 - This Plot is Completely Wrong! Ch.93 This Plot is Completely Wrong! Xin Siyue didnt want to immediately take a car back home so she walked along the road for a bit, when she suddenly felt someone grab onto her wrist. Feeling shocked, she subconsciously shifted her body to kick the person. But her slender long legs were immediately blocked by Chen Sinans hands. Chen Sinan didnt expect her to make this move. He said with a gloomy face, You are actually capable of doing this? When Xin Siyue saw that it was him, she hurriedly broke free from his grasp. Chen Sinan who was still shocked by her skills didnt pay attention, so she was able to successfully escape. Xin Siyue moved back a step and asked him in alarm, Why is it you?! If its not me, then who else can it be? Xia Qiao? Chen Sinan had been restraining himself the entire night. She had been hosting the programs the whole night while he wasted his time sitting there, watching the boring programs because of her. In the end, she didnt even spare him a glance. He didnt believe that she had no idea he was present when he sat in the first row! Plus, when the hosts were introducing the guests, they mentioned his name as well! Forget about this! The most despicable part was her and Xia Qiao! He wanted to hurry over to the backstage when the programs were almost over to confront Xin Siyue when he ended up getting nagged by a classmate in the business field. When he rushed over, he watched as Sin Xiyue left with Zhong Qin and Xia Qiao. He grinded his teeth in anger and originally wanted to drive straight home, but he made an U-turn halfway and followed her. He knew that if he let her return to A City and there werent any major events since, she would definitely not come back until the end of the year. Xin Siyue listened to his overbearing tone and laughed right then. Chen Sinan, can you not be so boring? I am boring to you, but I think you and Xia Qiao had a good time talking to each other. How about you? You came to pester me just to prove that youre more interesting than Xia Qiao? IC! Chen Sinan calmed down and said seriously, I wont fight with you. Humph, who wants to fight with you? Xin Siyue said this and nimbly turned around, leaving. Chen Sinan stared at her persistent rear view and he was angry. He reached over to pull her towards the road. Let go of me! Chen Sinan! Why are you pulling me?! Let go! Chen Sinan! Do you hear me?! Let go of me Seeing that he was pulling her further and further away, Xin Siyue was about to tiptoe and kick him, when he held onto her two shoulders and pressed her harshly against the wall. She was unable to move at all. Xin Siyue was infuriated and scolded, Chen Sinan, you bastard! Chen Sinan who was called a bastard lowered his head and looked at her pink and delicate lips which she was biting right now. He slightly lowered his body and said in her ears, Bastard? I can be even more of a bastard. Do you want to see? He just finished his words when Xin Siyue felt something soft on her lips. She widened her eyes in shock to see his tightly shut eyes and his long and curly pitch-black eyelashes which were slightly trembling. She was lost in her thoughts when she felt pain on her lips. Bastard! He dared to bite her. She was about to curse him out when he had his way. The moment his nimble tongue made his way in her mouth, Xin Siyue felt herself trembling. She looked at the dim yellow street lights not far from here. She wanted to weep but there were no tears. This wasnt supposed to happen! When did Chen Sinan kiss her?! The person he should be kissing is Sheng Weyang! The plot is completely wrong! Chapter 94 - Wait For Me Ch.94 Wait For Me Up until the plane landed, Xin Siyue remained absent-minded, unable to snap out of her trance from Chen Sinans shocking actions. Why did he kiss her? The person he liked should be Sheng Wenyang! Wrong. When did he start to place all of his attention on herself? Xin Siyue recalled his words, If you want to return to A City, you can go back and wait for me to finish handling the matters here. I will go find you once Im done. At that time, Xin Siyue was dazed at his words, unable to comprehend his meaning. But now that she recovered from the shock, her ability to reason returned too. She then realized what was wrong with his words. Why is Chen Sinan coming to A City? The more she thought about it, the more she felt the need to talk to Chen Sinan and make it clear between them. She didnt like him at all. Plus, who gave him the permission to forcibly kiss her? That was her first kiss! She was angrier by the moment. Seeing that Xin Siyue furrowed her eyebrows the entire time, Xia Qiao couldnt help but ask, Whats the matter with you? I feel like ever since you came back from Shengjin City, you have been distracted. When Xia Qiao had waited for her at the airport, he saw her getting off a black car. The driver seats window was down; although he just glanced from afar, he noticed the composed side profile of the driver and had an idea who it was. If that person wasnt Chen Sinan, who else would it be? Xia Qiao had asked Xin Siyue a question earlier, but she had not replied. He inquired again, Siyue, are you not feeling well? Xin Siyue was pondering ways to get rid of Chen Sinan, so she was lost in her thoughts. She responded, Nothing. I was just thinking about something. What are you thinking that made you so lost in your own world? Xia Qiao slightly smiled. Xin Siyue shook her head and answered, Nothing really. When she went to work the next day, everything was normal. Recently, Xin Siyue had been recording a new singing competition. The majority of the contestants were college students from all parts of the country. The program decided to record while editing it at the same time before it would be broadcasted. The results were pretty good. Today, Xin Siyue had just finished the recording and didnt even have time to change clothes when one of her colleagues said, Siyue, theres a very handsome man looking for you downstairs! Very handsome! When the colleague finished her words, she looked mischievously at her. Xin Siyue never guessed it would be Chen Sinan. She laughed and then said, How handsome? Super handsome! The colleague said playfully. Xin Siyue casually said, How could be there such a handsome guy? Youre exaggerating. Its true. If you dont believe me, why dont you go downstairs and take a look yourself? Xin Siyue walked downstairs, half-believing those words. When she saw the familiar slender figure by the black car, she was dumbstruck. How are youC Halfway through her words, she forcibly gulped down what she was about to say. It seemed like every time they met, she always had to question why he was there. After a while, she even became suspicious of her ability to express her feelings. Chen Sinan raised his head to look at her. He slightly curved his lips up, When do you get off work? Why are you asking this? Hearing her tone filled with alarm, he laughed, I just want to eat with you after youre off work. Thank you but there is no need. After he was rejected, Chen Sinan looked faintly at her and said, Do you want me to do what I did last night to you again? If thats what you want, I am very willing to. Once he was done, he purposefully moved closer to her. Chapter 95 - Satisfied Father Ch.95 Satisfied Father Kitty Jiu: dear readers, if you want a mass-release of ATP, please vote on my patreons poll below: https://www.patreon.com/posts/33129435 After he was rejected, Chen Sinan looked faintly at her and said, Do you want me to do what I did last night to you again? If thats what you want, I am very willing to. Once he was done, he purposefully moved closer to her. Xin Siyue continuously took a few steps back out of fright. She hurriedly rejected and waved her hands. She said, No. Dont come over! Ok. Go pack your things. Ill be waiting for you to get off work. Xin Siyue clenched her teeth in frustration due to his confident look that she would submit to him. She firmly glared at him before returning to her office. When the colleague saw her returning, she immediately asked with bright eyes, How is it? Do you know that handsome guy? Xin Siyue didnt want to talk about him. Nothing happened. Im going back to work now. She had worked approximately another two hours until Chen Sinan called her. Xin Siyue hung up on him without a doubt. In the next second, he sent her a blunt text. If you dont come down. I dont mind coming up and bringing you down. Xin Siyue looked at the message and felt like hardships were ahead. She grinded her teeth and picked up her bag as she stood up. When she walked downstairs, she was expressionless. Seeing his car was still parked there, she immediately got in the car. Without looking, she said, Chen Sinan, we should make it clear between us. I can act like nothing happened last night so stop coming to see me in the future Cough, cough Huh? This voice? Xin Siyue looked shockingly at Chen Sinan. That man looked expressionlessly back at her. He wasnt the one making the noise before. Xin Siyue was confused but Chen Sinan shifted his gaze to the seat in the back. Xin Siyue followed his gaze to see a middle-aged man wearing a black suit in the car, besides Chen Sinan. She looked carefully at him and it wasnt hard to tell that he and Chen Sinan had the same thick eyebrows and red phoenix eyes. Even the bridges of their noses were similar. This is Xin Siyue felt her heart thumping violently. Did he hear everything that she had just said? Chen An seemingly understood how awkward she felt so he slightly smiled, before returning to his serious face. Hello, I am that boys father, Chen An. Father? Xin Siyue was shocked. Why did she see Chen An?! She remembered the book mentioning how Chen An was still a high government official early in his years and resigned later on due to health reasons. After many years of treatment, his body had recovered. Then, he muddled himself in the business world. Her impression of Chen An wasnt fully developed. He seemed to be the typical male leads father who was successful in business and had little to say. He also barely intervened with the male leads matters and the matters at home were handled by his wife. He only made decisions regarding major matters. Xin Siyue was feeling sluggish, up until Chen Sinan reached over to pat her head. He laughed at her and said, You really are self-conscious. Although you have to change the way you address him eventually, Im scared that my father might be frightened by you calling him father during the first meeting. Seeing the twos interactions, Chen An pondered deeply over Xin Siyues words. He immediately had a hunch that his son, who had been pursued in the past by numerous people since he was a child, was currently being mocked by the other party. This son was now having a hard time on the path to pursuing his future wife. Chen An was in a pretty good mood after thinking of this. Someone could finally abuse this boy now. Chen An laughed and agreed, I did get frightened. Xin Siyue watched as the father and son echoed one another and she felt embarrassed. She avoided Chen Sinans hand seamlessly and explained, Thats not it. I was just a bit shocked so I repeated the phrase. Uncle, please forgive me. I didnt mean that. Chapter 96 - An Unclear Relationship Ch.96 An Unclear Relationship Since Avoid the Protagonist had the most votes, Im doing a mass release today of it. Enjoy the read! Chen An glanced at Chen Sinan who had a faint look on. Therefore, he said, No worries. Ge urged Chen Sinan and said, Quickly drive. After lunch, Im going to visit your Uncle Feng. When Chen Sinan turned the steering wheel, he said in despise, Since you have so much to do in A City, why did you come find me? I came to discuss matters with you! Otherwise, you think I want to see you? I dont want to see you either. Chen Sinan answered. Stupid boy! Xin Siyue who sat there was speechless. Right, she mustnt open her mouth. At Shengjin City, Zhuang Zhu and a few others gathered together with Mo Be who just arrived today. Within a private room, Zhuang Zhu lifted his glass of wine and asked, Are you planning to stay for good in Shengjin City now that youre back? Mo Bei lifted his wine glass and bumped it against his. Yes, Im planning to develop in the country. You know that my grandmother and the others have been urging me to come back. Zhuang Zhu chuckled and said, Arent you stupid? They want you to come back and you actually obediently listened to them? Arent you just coming back for the same old matters? All the young misses from wealthy families in the upper society are all forming a line to see who you will pick from amongst them! Mo Bei wasnt as excited, on the other hand. He said, If I can avoid them, I will do so. If I need to act, I will do so. This isnt a problem for me. He hadnt thought about so much when he came back. It was because Sheng Wenyang had suddenly returned. He knew that she was bound to come back, but he didnt think it would be so soon. Zhuang Zhe smiled and said, Oh, I didnt know that you became a Film Emperor after going abroad. Does that mean theres a chance for you to get the Oscar in the future? Mo Bei rolled his eyes then asked, Where is Chen Sinan? Oh, him! I heard that he went somewhere else in the country. For a business trip? Probably, or probably not. When Zhuang Zhu said this, he laughed. I heard that he had been frequently going to school recently. I hadnt heard that he enjoyed school that much in the past. So? Zhuang Zhu moved closer to him and winked. I went to ask around and found out that the day before Shengjin Colleges anniversary, he had been very close to a female host. Shes from the Xin Family. Have you heard of her? Mo Bei pondered deeply. Shes from the Xin Family? Well, he had heard of Xin Qiancheng. He was about to continue asking when his phone rang. It was Sheng Wenyang. She heard that he also returned back in the country, so she specially called to ask about him. Mo Bei answered yes and conveniently explained how he was at a gathering with his close childhood friends. Who knew that Sheng Wenyang had asked, Is it convenient? Can I come over? It was rare that she wanted to see him so Mo Bei immediately answered, Of course. Ill come pick you up. Where are you now? No need, Im very close to where you are. I can just drive over. After Mo Bei hung up, he urged Zhuang Zhu in dismissing the beautiful women in the private room. He continued to say, My friend will be coming later on. Pay attention to your words and dont say any inappropriate things. Zhuang Zhu was happy. Your friend is that precious? Is it a beautiful woman? She is a beautiful woman, but we arent in that kind of relationship yet. Zhuang Zhu didnt believe him. When Sheng Wenyang arrived, Mo Bei introduced her, This is Sheng Wenyang. Zhuang Zhu recalled right then. Her surname was Sheng? She is Chen Sinans rumored girlfriend? YouC Zhuang Zhu was stunned and directly asked her, Whats your relationship with A-Nan? Sheng Wenyang came over for Chen Sinan. Yet, when she browsed the entire private room, she didnt see him. She slightly smiled and answered, An unclear relationship. Zhuang Zhu was speechless. Chapter 97 - A Beauty Who Mustn’t be Provoked Ch.97 A Beauty Who Mustnt be Provoked Everyones first impression on Sheng Wenyang was this was a beautiful woman. Their second impressions would be this was a very confident beauty. Yet, Zhuang Zhus first impression of Sheng Wenyang was this was a woman that he mustnt provoke! Because of this, he even called Chen Sinan. At that time, Chen Sinan was bringing Xin Siyue back to her apartment. He picked up the call and before he could say anything, Zhuang Zhu said in exaggeration, Damn, Chen Sinan! Im not trying to scold you or anything but when did you come into contact with Sheng Wenyang? Shes so scary! Sheng Wenyang? Chen Sinan subconsciously said the name out loud as he heard it. He could feel Xin Siyue turning her head over to look at him after she heard the name. Chen Sinan was about to get out of the car to answer the call when he remembered how Xin Siyue had been misunderstanding his relationship with Sheng Wenyang. If he continued to avoid her while on call, she would definitely begin thinking nonsense. Therefore, he gave her a look of comfort. Xin Siyue realized that she was overly sensitive so she turned her head around. She unbuckled her seatbelt and wanted to get off the car when she heard snap. The door was locked. Xin Siyue tried a couple times before coming to the conclusion that she really couldnt open it. She sighed heavily before turning around to glare harshly at Chen Sinan. What are you doing? Chen Sinan motioned for her to wait a while before he said, If you have something to say, say it now or else I will hang up. Although Xin Siyues voice was low, Zhuang Zhu seemed to have heard a womans voice. Chen Sinan actually has a woman! Oh my god. This was a miracle. Zhuang Zhu noticed something new and odd. He asked excitedly, A-Nan, youre with a beauty right now! Hurry and hang up since you already know. Sigh, I called you to inform you about something, yet you are telling me to hang up. You really arent grateful for the things I do for you. Stop talking nonsense. Zhuang Zhu obviously knew that Chen Sinan was about to get angry. He was scared that he might hang up on him later on so he hurriedly say, Today, I was eating with Bei and saw Sheng Wenyang there. She didnt seem like someone easily to be provoked. When I asked her about your relationship with her, guess what she said? She said that you guys have an ambiguous relationship. Hey, A-Nan, you couldnt possibly have done something to her, right? She has been thinking about you constantly. Chen Sinan acted like this had nothing to do with him and he said, Since you and her are familiar to the point you guys could eat together, tell her that I, Chen Sinan, dont have any ambiguous relationship with her, the next time you see her. He didnt want for Zhuang Zhu to continue to take joy in his misfortune so he hung up on him. Chen Sinan placed his phone away and looked at Xin Siyue. She was staring deeply at him. He thought about it before he said, Theres really nothing going on between me and Sheng Wenyang. Xin Siyue first knitted her eyebrows before she continued to say, Theres nothing going on with someone youve kissed? Then, Mr. Chen, theres nothing going on between the two of us either. Chen Sinans face instantly turned heavy when she finished her words. She ignored him and twisted the door handle. She said toughly, Open the door. I want to leave. Explain yourself. Chen Sinan grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to himself. He looked at her and said, How do you know I kissed her? If you dont want anyone to know, then dont do it. Xin Siyue, you didnt lose your memory at all. Plus, you know more than what I think you do. Chapter 98 - Give Me a Reason Ch.98 Give Me a Reason When Sheng Wenyang kissed him, they were in his office inside the student union. At that time, there was no one in his office. When she kissed him, he was facing the window and the door. If someone was to pass by or on the opposite side, he clearly wouldve seen them. The reality was that no one was there, so how could Xin Siyue know all of this?! Xin Siyue thought that he was angry because she had exposed his lies. She sneered and said, Chen Sinan, your ability to change the topic is quite good. We were clearly talking about you and Sheng Wenyang and me. There is simply nothing between me and Sheng Wenyang. You dare to swear that she has no feelings for you? As expected, Chen Sinan was silent. Xin Siyue laughed again. So, Chen Sinan, you can place your feelings about me away now. Its not real at all. You dont truly like me and I dont like you. We simply wont have any results from being together. Do you mind Sheng Wenyang that much? I do mind. Xin Siyue admitted directly. You mind her because you like me. Heh. Xin Siyue chuckled. Youre really narcissistic. I wont be that irrational and like you. Even if all the women in this world like you, I wont let myself like you. Give me a reason Xin Siyue glanced the bright street lights in the darkness. She leisurely said, Because this world doesnt belong to me. And you, wont belong to me either. Chen Sinan wanted to retort but his words changed to, You dont like me because you like Xia Qiao? I dont like anyone. When Xin Siyue finished, she continued, I like no one. Chen Sinan humphed and said, This is the most bizarre reason Ive heard since I was a child to reject me. You think that you can cut off love and be ruthless? Are you confident that you wont like anyone? Xin Siyue looked far in the distance and said after a while, Maybe I will find someone that I dont really dislike and marry them. If you can find a person you dont dislike and live with them, why wont you consider me? Chen Sinan thought this was endless mockery. Xin Siyue reacted faintly to this. She smiled and said, Because youre Chen Sinan. You! Chen Sinan looked at her and felt his whole body bursting with anger. You said that you wanted two peaceful years of life and I gave you it. You wanted to develop in A City and was unwilling to return to Sheng Jin City, so I gradually moved the main part of my work here. This is the first time that I, Chen Sinan, wanted to be nice to someone. Yet, this is what happens when I try. Well, I am quite curious about what you like about me. Is it because I had been pursuing you non stop in the past and when I suddenly stopped being interested in you, you are interested now? Chen Sinan was at a lack of words when she questioned him. Xin Siyue smiled a fake smile, So why must you put me in a difficult situation? From what I know, Sheng Wenyang really likes you. Stop meddling in my business. Chen Sinan shifted his gaze and looked straight ahead. He didnt want to look at her anymore. He was scared that he might want to choke her to death out of impulse. Xin Siyue shrugged her shoulders, It doesnt matter to me, as long as you stop pestering me. You! Chen Sinan was speechless due to how angry he was. Xin Siyue, do you even have a heart?! What kind of heart do you want? A heart that likes you? I dont dare to have one like that. Open the door. Chen Sinan looked coldly at her and she stared back unyieldingly. Right after, she heard the sound of the doors unlocking. She secretly relaxed in her heart and hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car. She walked to her apartment without looking back once. On the other hand, Chen Sinan sat in his car and stayed there for a while. Chapter 99 - I’m Here Ch.99 Im Here After Xin Siyue got back, she rolled back and forth, unable to sleep. When she finally fell asleep, she had a few nightmares. In the dream, she was unsure where the car was headed to. In the end, she got lost and even the GPS didnt know where she was. She passed by the crossroad and continued to drive straight, but an unfamiliar man came up and told her she was driving in the wrong direction. In her heart back then, she was thinking how there were quite a few nice people in the world. Who knew that she had driven about a few hundred meters after she made an U-turn, and she was surrounded by people. Six or seven sturdy men surrounded her car and the leader was the nice person who pointed out the direction for her. He had a sinister expression and he easily smashed the glass window on her car. He pulled her out and without another word, he started to slash her with the knife. In the beginning, Xin Siyue was terrified but it transformed into a sense of hopelessness. When she laid in her pool of blood, these people were laughing and saying, she cant endure the cuts. Its not satisfying enough. The surrounding puddle of blood was fresh red and she was startled, her face full of sweat when she woke up. She hurriedly opened the lamp by the bedside and looked around. After she saw that she was in her bedroom and there werent any crazy and inhuman people, she couldnt help but to breath heavily. It took her a long time to calm down and become peaceful. She went to the living room to pour a glass of water but didnt dare to return to the bedroom. She sat there with the lights on and she wasnt in the mood to listen to what the TV was broadcasting. She stared at a certain spot lifelessly. Why would she suddenly have such a horrific nightmare? Xin Siyue could only comfort herself, saying that she was probably under a lot of pressure recently. She wanted to start a new program and her boss said yes. But, she was in charge from writing and directing it to hosting the program. If she got good feedback, it was naturally good. But if the feedback were normal, the program will be immediately stopped. Due to this, Xin Siyue had wasted a lot of braincells on this. But no matter how she planned it out, she wasnt pleased. This program had therefore, made no progress. Xin Siyue was deep in her thoughts when the doorbell rang time after time. She subconsciously shivered and her eyes were filled with terror and fright. Her heart thumped rapidly at the ear-piercing noise. She tried her best to let herself calm down. At this time, her phone rang coincidentally too. It was Chen Sinan. Xin Siyue considered whether or not she should answer the call. Before she made a decision, the doorbell stopped ringing. The ringing of the phone stopped too. Xin Siyue watched as the screen of her phone dimmed down. Right after, Chen Sinan changed to sending a text to her. Its me, open the door. Are you ok? Xin Siyue, what happened to you? Xin Siyue was surprised. He actually didnt leave yet still? When Chen Sinan saw that she wasnt answering the messages, he continued to call her. The moment the door opened, Chen Sinan slowly placed the hand used to hold his phone down. Are you ok? Im fine. Mr. Chen, why are you here in the middle of the night? Chen Sinan looked at her pale face and asked, Why arent you asleep at such a late time? Thank you for your concern. Chen Sinan pondered deeply and asked, You got a nightmare? What? Last time in the hospital, you had a nightmare the whole night. Chen Sinan suddenly walked up and held her in his arms. He said softly and comforted, Dont worry. Im here. Xin Siyue blinked her eyes and felt her eyes turning bitter and sour. Chen Sinan, youre breaking the rules! Chapter 100 - I’m Not Familiar with Her (1) Ch.100 Im Not Familiar with Her (1) The second day Xin Siyue went to work, she was lacking in energy. After lunch, she was clearly on the verge of falling asleep. She went to the bathroom to rinse her face and to apply some more makeup. When she returned to her office, the beautiful Miss Lu gracefully walked over with her ten centimeters high high heels. She said to Xin Siyue, The Chief Editor wants you to go over. What? Xin Siyue was confused why the Chief Editor would ask for the beautiful Miss Lu to come call her. People should know that the beautiful Miss Lu was the famous golden host in interview programs. All the celebrities and famous peoples interviews in the TV station were done by her. When Xin Siyue hadnt moved, the beautiful Miss Lu urged her, Hurry up. I dont have time to waste on something like this! Although Xin Siyue rarely talked to her, she had heard about her from her other colleagues. She knew that she was a rude and unreasonable person so she didnt bother to argue with her. On the way to the Chief Editors office, Xin Siyue saw the beautiful Miss Lu heading for the same place. She became more and more curious. What was the matter? When Xin Siyue received the project plan for this weeks interview episode, she looked shockingly at the Chief Editor. Chief Editor, what is this? Time-wise, we might be hurrying it but I believe in your ability, Siyue. Chief Editor, what are you trying to say? Xin Siyue was faintly worried. Its what you think. Sheng Wenyang is a famous designer from the jewelry industry. From what I know, she returned two days ago. It was very surprising that we were able to set an appointment for the interview easily. However, Designer Sheng said that she agreed to the interview but wanted someone familiar as her partner. She even mentioned your name, hoping you can host this episode. We already proofread the initial draft for the questions to be asked during the interview. When you record this tonight, you just need to talk according to the script. Xin Siyue hesitated, No, Chief Editor, Im not really familiar with Sheng Wenyang. Plus, dont mention that they werent familiar. They hadnt spoken a sentence with one another in private before. At most, she introduced her appearance on stage during the anniversary of the college. In addition, its not that she was unfamiliar with her. In the original book, even before the female lead returned, she hadnt seen her. Where did Sheng Wenyang get the illusion that they were familiar with each other? Her intuition told her it was the main culprit, Chen Sinan. Sheng Wenyang mustve detected something! That is definitely what happened! She concentrated on analyzing this when she heard Miss Lu say, Host Xin, are you trying to make excuses? Ever since I entered the TV Station and took over this program, I had no intentions of letting other hosts host this. If it wasnt for your friend who wanted you to host this episode, you think that I would look upon you based on your qualifications, and feel comfortable in giving you control over the program? Ever since Xin Siyue debuted and entered the hosting career, she never hosted interviewing programs. But just because she never tried it before doesnt mean she was willing to be looked down upon by other people! Host Lu, why must you speak like this? When Xin Siyue finished, she turned her head around to reply to the Chief Editor without looking at her expression. I will do my best on this episodes program! The Chief Editor smiled and nodded his head. Ok, I believe in your abilities. Quickly prepare for this. Remember to change your clothes and dress yourself up after dinner, which is around six pm. Ok, thank you Chief Editor. When Xin Siyue was about to turn and leave, she heard Miss Lu humph. She was infuriated and wanted to walk around her. When she detected Miss Lus high heels kicking forward, wanting to trip her, Xin Siyue agily dodged this. Xin Siyue turned around and glared coldly at her. Then, she left without looking back. When she returned to her office, she felt her scalp going numb from looking at the rough draft. Chapter 101 - I’m Not Familiar with Her (2) Ch.101 Im Not Familiar with Her (2) When Xin Siyue returned to her office, she felt her scalp going numb from looking at the rough draft. The request that Sheng Wenyang mentioned? She clearly remembered that person was indeed famous and well-known ever since she returned and she did attend numerous programs. However, that was all in Sheng Jin City. Why did she suddenly move to A City? What was her motive behind this? Xin Siyue was unable to guess her motive so she could only prepare herself mentally to the best of her ability. When the time comes, different situations call for different actions. Quickly, it was night time. While the makeup artist was applying makeup for Xin Siyue, she closed her eyes and tried to recall the questions she had to ask. When everything was ready, she arrived at the recording site. Once all the staff members were in position, she tried the headphones sound quality and didnt notice any problems. Everything was in place and they were just missing Sheng Wenyang. Xin Siyue and the others waited a solid 20 or so minutes for her. Sheng Wenyang came in late, wearing a white layered shirt and a black knee skirt that just covered her butt. Xin Siyue looked at her exquisite face and was slightly lost in her mind: Sheng Wenyang was indeed a rare beautiful woman. While she was intellectual, she wasnt lacking in sexiness either. Her gaze landed on Sheng Wenyangs exposed skin. Right, she had milky skin. Sheng Wenyang first greeted the leaders of high positions before she peered at Xin Siyue. She asked, Can we begin? Yes, all the departments, please get ready. Host and the guest, please get ready too. Xin Siyue slightly smiled. After all, she needed to act well on the surface. She raised her hand at Sheng Wenyang, Designer Sheng, I have heard of your name for a very long time. Sheng Wenyang smiled charmingly and looked at her. She tilted the corner of her lips up and shook her hand. She said, Xin Siyue, likewise, I had heard about you too. What? Xin Siyue was shocked. What did Sheng Wenyang mean by this? She didnt think her reputation had spread abroad! Then, there is only one possibility left. When Sheng Wenyang returned, she had people investigate Chen Sinan and her as well. Xin Siyue was shocked. Did Sheng Wenyang take her to be her love rival? So this episode of the program was actually a pit? Xin Siyue was scared that Sheng Wenyang might hinder her in some ways so she was extremely careful during the first half of the program. When there was a break for fifteen minutes in between, Xin Siyue violently gulped down half a bottle of water, yet her heart was still thumping frenetically. The second half of the interview started and the topic was mostly on Sheng Wenyangs personal life. Sheng Wenyang said, I was born in an ordinary family. Although I wasnt rich or anything and my parents were just normal labor workers, to me, I was very lucky that my parents had a great relationship. They adored me dearly and my family was peaceful and blessed. Xin Siyue naturally knew about her family situation. She smiled and added, Indeed, the family environment is essential to the growth of the kids. Its ok, because to me, it was someone else who influenced me the most. Who? Xin Siyue tried her best to avoid topics relating to Chen Sinan. Who knew that Sheng Wenyang was still able to seamlessly bring this topic in. Besides liking the jewelry career, I also entered because of that person. He told me that everyone was worthy of the best things. As long as you try your best to strive for it. He was someone who was good at everything. Oh? Is that so? Yes, to me, he is the light I am constantly pursuing after in my life. Sheng Wenyang finished and smiled at Xin Siyue. Host Xin, maybe youre not unfamiliar with this person either. Is that so? Then, I am quite lucky too. But, I dont think so. It is overly too narrow and close-minded to use most advanced to determine if something was the best. This is nothing in the world that is the best. The best is just what people want the most but arent able to obtain. Its just the most suitable to them. So, I believe that what you believe to be the best might not be the same for someone else. After all, a thousand readers still have a thousand Hamlets. Right? Miss Sheng, the audience is very curious as to how you had spent your time these past few years. Is there anything you can share with us during that time? Xin Siyue cleverly changed the topic. Chapter 102 - So What If Your Surname is Sheng? Ch.102 So What If Your Surname is Sheng? Sheng Wenyang looked meaningfully at her and calmly ended the sensitive topic too. They approached the end of the program without mishaps. After Xin Siyue complimented the beautiful and clever Sheng Wenyang who had made many extraordinary accomplishments in front of the officials, she maintained a smile and asked, Miss Sheng, the interview is about to end. Do you have anything you want to say to the audience and the friends in front of the television? Sheng Wenyang slightly nodded her hand and thanked, Thank you guys for liking me and my designs. Also, thank you for the people who hadnt forgotten about me. I, Sheng Wenyang, am back. The audience all started to applaud. Xin Siyue slightly smiled and wanted to end this episode when Sheng Wenyang softly and gently continued to say, A-Nan, its been three years. Im finally back! The camera successfully captured her deep and immersed look while saying this. When Xin Siyue glanced at her teary eyes, she almost forgot to say her lines! Oh my god! Sheng Wenyang had entered this state of mind so rapidly! She finally ended this interview and Xin Siyue got off work and just reached the bottom of the stairs when someone stopped her. Our Boss is inviting Host Xin over. Xin Siyue had seen this young man at the recording site. He was Sheng Wenyangs secretary. Please tell your Boss that I have some matters to attend to. Xin Siyue just started to walk when that person stubbornly stopped her again. Host Xin, please dont make this difficult for us. Heh. Xin Siyue laughed. Then did you ever consider that you guys are making this difficult for me? I dont want to see your Boss. You can just tell her the exact message. Host Xin wont give me face? Xin Siyue followed the clear voice and glanced over. Sheng Wenyang just got off the white Benz and she was walking closer and closer. She smiled and asked, I originally planned to invite Host Xin out for food after the program was over, and to thank you for taking care of me. Who knew that Host Xin would reject me. Xin Siyue looked at her slightly raised eyebrows and she couldnt see any sincerity or kindness in her eyes at all. She sighed and said, Miss Sheng, thanks for your offer. I have something going on later so you wont need to spend money on the meal. When I have time, I will invite Miss Sheng out. When you have time, I wont have time. Host Xin, you should know that my company just got established and there are a lot of things I need to do. Heh. Xin Siyues IQ wasnt high normally but at the same time, she hated talking to people with high IQs. Why must they go around in circles? Arent they tired from talking like that? Xin Siyue looked at her and suddenly laughed. If Miss Sheng has something to say, why not say it now. Sheng Wenyang still had a slight smile. She crossed her arms over her chest and slightly raised her chin to look at her. I dont really have matters with you. I just want to see who the woman that Chen Sinan chased after to A City looks like. So? Did Miss Sheng see? Are you satisfied? Humph, Im quite disappointed. She lazily rolled her eyes and said arrogantly, I didnt think it would be someone like you. I am disappointed. Xin Siyue laughed. Right, I am very surprised too. How come Chen Sinan would like someone like me? Miss Sheng, isnt this quite mocking? You! Since Miss Sheng doesnt have that much time, I dont dare to delay you. You are pleased to do what you want to. When she finished, Xin Siyue walked around the two of them and towards her own car. Humph. So what if your surname is Sheng? You think youre amazing? She grinded her teeth at her overbearing look. Chapter 103 - Unless You Get Rid of Her (1) Ch.103 Unless You Get Rid of Her (1) The secretary just closed the car door and sat down when Sheng Wenyang said strictly from behind the seat, This information is inaccurate. Sheng Wenyang glanced at her secretary who just gave her the information regarding Xin Siyue. It said that she was clearly a woman with big breasts and no brain. Plus, she was irritable and cant endure provocation. But she just tested Xin Siyue and she wasnt like what the rumors described her to be. Plus, she had a sharp tongue and knew how to attack her with what she minded the most. At this time, Sheng Wenyang felt like this woman would be problematic. The major point was that she wasnt sure of Chen Sinans attitude towards Xin Siyue. After Sheng Wenyangs deep pondering, she continued to order, Go investigate Shi Shi. Shi Shi? The secretary didnt understand why his job had changed ever since they returned to the country. A few days ago, he just finished investigating Chen Sinan and Xni Siyue. He had spent a lot of effort in between to reluctantly find out some information. Now, how was he supposed to investigate other people? Being a secretary, he really couldnt understand. Seeing his stunned look, Sheng Wenyang added, Sheng Jin Citys Shi Familys young miss. Be careful when youre investigating Shi Shi. I want the most accurate information on her. The secretary felt a headache rising but he respectfully answered, Yes, Boss. Sheng Wenyang closed the document and recalled how she was able to find Chen Sinan after the schools anniversary celebration was over, when a woman wearing a black dress stopped her. Welcome back, Sheng Wenyang, my hostess! Sheng Wenyang couldnt help but be alarmed when that person covered half of their face with the brim of her hat. She could only see the sharp chin exposed outside. Do you know me? Who are you? Its not important to know who I am. That person raised their head and smiled at her. She carefully observed her for a while before they said, You are a worthy creation. You have nice skin. What are you saying? Sheng Wenyang stared at her in alarm. She couldnt help but ask, What exactly do you want to say? after seeing the cold smile on her face. Im just reminding you out of kindness that everything wont develop in the way you want to anymore. Chen Sinan clearly doesnt love you and with the appearance of Xin Siyue who is unpredictable, you wont get the ending you desire if you dont get rid of Xin Siyue. What are you trying to say? Xin Siyue? Whats her relationship with Chen Sinan? If you want to know, investigate this yourself. Im done speaking. Why are you telling me this? Who are you? Why should I believe a strangers words? You can choose whether or not to believe me. But I am sure that you will believe me in the end. That person revealed a sure smile. Sheng Wenyang frequently smiled like this but she disliked seeing this smile coming from a woman who emitted a dark aura around her. Upon making a decision to engrave that persons appearance in her mind, Sheng Wenyang replied, You said that you are reminding me this out of kindness but you wont even tell me your name. You think that I would dare to believe you like this? Haha, as expected, you are quite defensive. That person smiled proudly and said two words, Shi Shi. Sheng Wenyang was certain that she didnt know this person, but she was clearly familiar with her. There was a lot of matters she had to deal with now that she was back in the country, so she was unable to attend to this mysterious person. After seeing Xin Siyue, she suddenly remembered the person now. This Shi Shi definitely wasnt as simple as she looks to be. The interview episode with Sheng Wenyang was broadcasted the second night around eight pm. Because this program has been continuously supported by the fans, the ratings were pretty normal that night. However, the comments on the internet were half good and half bad. After Xin Siyue appeared, there were some internet users who harshly scolded, Why did they change the host for this episode?! Wheres our beautiful Miss Lu? What is the TV Station trying to do, letting a newbie who only had two years of experience take over our beautiful Miss Lus program? They think that Miss Lu is easily bullied?! Could this Xin person be given a chance because of some unwritten rules? Even strangers couldnt bear to see the comments. Why must you guys speak so offensively? I think the host is pretty good and its nice to change people up sometimes. There is a feeling of freshness now. I agree with the person above. Her Mandarin is pretty good and her voice sounds quite pleasant. The process of interviewing is natural as well, like friends chatting with each other. I like this amiable hosts style. Xin Siyues fans obviously wouldnt sit there and do nothing. They all started to reply to comments to defend their idol. As the program continued to broadcast, the debate on the Weibo over Xin Siyue being the host actually surpassed the topic of the jewelry designer, Sheng Wenyang. After Gu Tong saw the change in the comments, she smiled and sent Xin Siyue a voice message on WeChat. Youre good, Siyue. Youre actually able to take over the popularity of that woman! Chapter 104 - Unless You Get Rid of Her (2) Ch.104 Unless You Get Rid of Her (2) Youre good, Siyue. Youre actually able to take over the popularity of that woman! Xin Siyue was about to get off work when she heard the message. She responded, Talk normally. Heh. Gu Tong responded with a word before going back to work. Once the program was done broadcasting, the comments gradually supported one side more than the other. I like this host. Shes very amiable. Right, I didnt think I could see a unique episode. I think what the host had said is very motivational! If everyone went to pursue the best, wont they be living tiring lives? I want to give you this message This is nothing in the world that is the best. The best is just what people want the most but arent able to obtain. So, I believe that what you believe to be the best might not be the same for someone else. (This is the hosts original word. I copied it word for word.) Person above, youre really magical. It seems like you are great at copying and pasting. I agree. 1 Xin Siyue scrolled through Weibo comments and didnt think that the audience would have the same feelings as her. She felt that it was very heartwarming. After she forwarded the Weibo comment, she added: thank you. That night, the number of her Weibo fans rapidly grew. Who knew that she just fell asleep when she received Xia Qiaos call, Did you sleep? What? Xin Siyue opened her drowsy eyes. It seemed to be pitch-black outside the window still. She looked at her watch to see it was one in the morning. Remember not to head out in the morning. Be careful of the reporters downstairs. Ill come and find you later on. Xin Siyues instinct was that something bad happened. Whats the matter? Its not important. Just rest. When Im here, we can continue to talk. Xin Siyue naturally didnt believe his words of comfort. She logged onto her Weibo and noticed that she and Chen Sinan and Sheng Wenyang had gotten onto the hot search. She opened the first video to see that it was at the TV Station. Although the white car blocked half the field of vision, one could clearly see the three people in the video. It was Sheng Wenyang, her secretary, and Xin Siyue. The three were in a tense situation and the video even captured everyones expressions. The voices seemed to be specially handled, as it was very clear. The video was a few minutes long and Xin Siyue carefully watched it. She listened to the familiar words being repeated. I didnt think it would be someone like you. I am disappointed. Right, I am very surprised too. How come Chen Sinan would like someone like me? Miss Sheng, isnt this quite mocking? In the end, the image turned black and Xin Siyue exited the video. She looked at the title to see it saying two women fighting over a man. She thought it was incomparably melodramatic. She sighed and scrolled down the hot search rankings to see Sheng Wenyangs background exposed to the public. Will Cinderella successfully become the wife of an influential family? Exposing the person behind Designer Sheng. And A Citys TV Stations unwritten rules. Young miss Xin is taking charge of the host career. Xin Siyue really admired these boring people who created the titles. Because the video implicated Chen Sinan who had zero scandals, the video spread at lightning speed. After Mo Bei heard this from his assistant, his face looked terrible. He ordered, No matter what you do, get rid of the related information on Weibo, especially the video. The assistant was slightly stunned before he replied, I already had people working to handle this but But what? The subordinates informed me that someone else was handling this matter too. Mo Bei was in deep thought and he asked, Are you referring to Chen Sinan? No. The assistant replied, Its Xin Qiancheng from the Xin Family. Mo Bei looked at the video which was replaying and he scrunched his eyebrows. He said, His surname is Xin? Hes that womans brother? Yes. Mo Bei hung up and hurriedly called Sheng Wenyang. At the same time, Xin Qiancheng who ordered people to handle this, called Xin Siyue. The moment she picked up, she heard Xin Qianchengs angry voice interrogating her, Xin Siyue, are you still a member of the Xin Family? How can you endure people bullying you? What? Brother, who are you talking about? Obviously the woman in the video! Who is she? How dare she speak to you in that tone! Brother, theres no need to be angry. Didnt I diss her back? Plus, I dont want to involve myself with her, so why argue? Even if you dont want to argue with her, it doesnt mean I wont or that the Xin Family wont. Xin Qiancheng harshly said this and urged her, Stop your work for a few days. Ill have someone immediately come over and pick you up. What? Brother? Hey? Xin Siyue looked at the phone which was hung up. She was slightly speechless. What was this about?! Around four in the morning, Chen Sinan just landed in A City, flying over from abroad when he heard about Xin Siyues Weibo from his Assistant Wang. Its Sheng Wenyang again? Chen Sinan picked up his car keys and said to Assistant Wang, Im giving you half an hour to clear the news. Ok, but President Chen, someone else seemed to be handling this matter already. Chen Sinan thought about it and asked, Xin Qiancheng? Not only him, but Young Master Mo is also intervening in this matter. Mo Bei? Chen Sinan suddenly thought of something. Chapter 105 - Why Couldn’t He Let Her Go? Ch.105 Why Couldnt He Let Her Go? There was a big temperature difference in A City in September at night. Chen Sinan drove the car to the neighborhood and pulled the car window down, feeling the cold wind blowing at him. He raised his head to look at a certain window in the darkness. There wasnt a glimpse of light from within at all. Chen Sinan casually took out a cigarette and harshly took a drag, spitting out a cloud of smoke which dissipated in the car. His dark eyes glanced in front, not knowing where exactly he was looking at. He had a heavy look. Xin Siyue asked him why he liked her, but he was unable to respond because he never thought of this question. Of all the women, why couldnt he let her go? He didnt have the time to tell her that an unexpected mishap occurred while the new company was trying to win over the new project when Mao Shiyuan called him over to resolve the incident. He relently rushed over, but wouldve guessed that in that time, Sheng Wenyang went to find Xin Siyue and spoke rudely to her. He looked at the video on Weibo and felt anger rising from within him. He just wanted to immediately head over to see how she was feeling. If the lights werent on, did that mean she didnt know yet? Its good that she didnt. He will clean up the mess before she wakes up. Chen Sinan suddenly shook his head and bitterly laughed. She was someone that could even endure people bullying her, but he also discovered that she didnt seem to really care about anything in particular. Since the ancient times, people said one is mighty without any desires. Is it because of this that she didnt really place her heart on anything, besides her work? Where was her bottom line? He couldnt seem to guess it. When Chen Sinan was abroad, he also asked himself: why must he choose Xin Siyue? Whats good about her? After thinking about it, he couldnt find anything about her that was bad. Maybe the only bad thing about her was that she had a heart of stone regarding him. He thought: since he subconsciously started to care about her, why not care for her until the end? Regarding the fact that she didnt like him He had time and ways to make sure she will end up liking him anyway. When Chen Sinan came to this conclusion, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Hello? A Nan? A soft voice gently said the name. You are? A Nan, I am Wenyang. I want to explain to you what happened on WeiboA Nan, can I meet you? Chen Sinans slender fingers softly knocked against the steering wheel. He sneered quietly and said, I only have half an hour. When he drove into the neighborhood, he noticed that some reporters were around. He already ordered for Assistant Wang to dismiss them. In the morning, he planned to bring Xin Siyue to work. When Chen Sinan arrived at the meeting place, he saw Sheng Wenyang sitting gracefully on the seat, wearing a white dress. Yet, there was no one in the brightly lit restaurant. Chen Sinan glanced around while Sheng Wenyang who was originally disappointed looked ecstatically at him when he arrived. She gently explained, I know you dont like outsiders present so I had the manager clear the third floor. Chen Sinan just slightly peered at her before he sat down. Sheng Wenyang looked tenderly at his handsome face and she called him, A Nan Miss Sheng, we havent seen each other for a long time. Its better to call me Mr. Chen. A Nan Sheng Wenyang felt awkward and hurriedly said, Are you angry at me for going abroad for my studies and leaving anything behind? A Nan, I have my own difficulties as well. Plus, didnt I tell you about it back then? I went abroad for the two of us! You hadnt urged me to stay either. Now, are you going to blame me? Its Miss Shengs business if you want to go abroad. I have no right to ask about it. Chen Sinan looked expressionlessly at her teary face. He continued, But I do want to advise Miss Sheng that although Xin Siyue looks like she is easy to bully, when she wants to scratch someone with her claws, it can be very sharp. For the sake of giving Mo Bei some respect, I will just consider Miss Sheng to be a blind person. If this happens again, you should believe that I wont let this go as easily next time. Of course, Xin Qiancheng obviously wouldnt let outsiders bully his sister. Chen Sinan didnt even look at Sheng Wenyangs pale face as he stood up. He said faintly, Miss Sheng, thats all I have to say. Sheng Wenyang frantically stood up and bumped her thigh against the edge of the table. She was in pain for a few seconds and felt the area numbing, but she couldnt attend to it. She hurriedly went up to stop Chen Sinan, A Nan, who do you take me to be? I went abroad for you and endured all these years outside. I finally returned and became famous. How could youhow could She couldnt help but to weep and unable to form her words. Right, I already forgot. Chen Sinan pushed the hand she placed on his arm off and said, All these years, I already forgot what should be forgotten. Sheng Wenyang, if you didnt go abroad, maybe we wouldve had a chance together since I had some feelings for you. What a pity that you were overly confident. Chapter 106 - Only Shameless to You Ch.106 Only Shameless to You Sheng Wenyang shook her head, No, I dont believe it. You like me. The feeling of liking someone cant disappear that easily. A Nan, I have been abroad all these years and struggled so much and the only reason that kept me going was the longing for you. I dont believe that youre ruthless. I dont believe it Sheng Wenyangs tears fell down like rain. Yet, Chen Sinan looked elsewhere and said slowly, Xin Siyue is right. You should know whats best for you. After Chen Sinan left, Sheng Wenyang cried heart-wrenchingly. How come she had no time to prepare for all these changes when she returned to the country?! Right, Xin Siyue. Shi Shi was right about Xin Siyue. She was the change! She shouldnt be like this! Shouldnt be! Chen Sinan called his assistant after he left the restaurant. Then, he immediately drove over to Xin Siyues neighborhood and hadnt forgotten to buy breakfast for the two of them. Xin Siyue woke up around six and she carefully opened a corner of the curtains to peek outside the door. She didnt notice anything abnormal. Could Xia Qiao be overly anxious? Maybe the reporters arent that curious about her? Xin Siyue couldnt explain where exactly she felt like it was wrong. But her instinct told her that it wasnt normal. After she rinsed herself and changed her clothes, the doorbell rang. Xin Siyue alarmingly asked who it was. Who knew she would hear Chen Sinans deep voice say, Its me, open the door. Why did he come?! Xin Siyue was about to keep the door shut on him when he continued to say, If you dont want to let me in, its ok too. When the reporters chase you up here, Ill just tell them that we are about to get married Chen Sinan, youre purposefully causing me trouble! Xin Siyue fiercely opened the door, showering him with scoldings. Chen Sinan didnt mind her tone. After he openly walked in with breakfast, he leisurely looked at her apartment. Hm, its clean and organized. She seems like someone who can tidy up the house. He placed the breakfast on the coffee table then turned around to look at her. Seeing that she wore a white chiffon long sleeves, she said, Its a bit cold outside in the morning. Remember to wear a jacket when you go out. Heh, Chen Sinan, what are you doing? Im hungry. Lets eat breakfast. Wheres the dining table? President Chen, my house is small and cant provide your needs. If you want to eat, go to your own place to do so. Chen Sinan didnt wait for her response and went to find the dining table. He placed the breakfast on top and began to untie the bag. I havent slept last night. Stop saying things to anger me. How does you not sleeping last night have anything to do with me? Iuh Xin Siyue who stood a bit from the sofa was about to dismiss him when she bumped into Chen Sinan who was heading over from the dining table. Chen Sinan had restrained his anger for the past few days regarding her stubborn attitude. Now that he heard her mockery and sarcasm, he had the impulse to shut her mouth up. As he thought of this, his body was very honest and actually did so. He pulled her in his arms by her thin slim waist and held onto the back of her head with his other hand. He harshly bit down on her soft lips. Xin Siyue just rinsed her mouth so there was a faint mint scent. Chen Sinan firmly kissed her and felt her limbs struggling violently in the meanwhile. She even lifted her knee, wanting to knock against his lower half. Good thing that he was agile and quickly restrained her foot with one foot. He laughed helplessly, Well, youre quite harsh! Not as harsh as you and Sheng Wenyang! Both of you guys are sneaky which makes a perfect match. Chen Sinan lowered his head to see her red and plumps lips from him kissing it. Her cheeks were flushed and she was glaring with her big and watery eyes at him. Chen Sinan shivered from her look. His gaze landed on her lips for a while and he pressed the wing of his nose against her small nose. He laughed, You cant be nice for once. Im too lazy to argue with you, Chen Sinan. You better let me go. I naturally will let you go. Ill do it later. As he said this, he pushed her down against the sofa and accurately captured her lips. He began to attack her. When Xin Siyue got her freedom back, she felt like she was unable to breathe normally. When she finally adjusted her breathing, she saw Chen Sinan smoothing her hair. Without thinking, she slapped his hand away and asked sternly, I can take it as an accident the first time, but what about this time Chen Sinan? Do you want me to find an excuse for you and say that you cant help yourself? Indeed, I cant help myself. But, why do I need an excuse? Do I need a reason when I want to kiss someone? Leave me alone! Xin Siyue immediately stood up and pointed at the door. She said firmly, Quickly leave! Im too tired. Ill borrow your bed to sleep after breakfast. Chen Sinan, can you not be so shameless? Im only shameless to you. Xin Siyue was speechless. Bastard. Chapter 107 - Disheveled Chen Sinan (1) Ch.107 Disheveled Chen Sinan (1) Xin Siyue felt deeply defeated by his shameless behavior. After Chen Sinan took advantage of her, he slowly walked to the dining table and began to eat his breakfast. He faintly said, Are you sure youre not going to eat? Xin Siyue looked at him and sneered, Will I need to think of ways to repay President Chen for breakfast? She still remembered clearly what happened in A College. Chen Sinan looked up and shook his head. I noticed that youre only defensive with me. Can you not gauge the heart of a gentleman with your own measures? Xin Siyue laughed. I dont dare. Im scared that I wont even know how I died in the end. Chen Sinan scrunched his eyebrows at this. He didnt like her mentioning death at all. Why did she always feels like she will die a violent death? The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Chen Sinan was about to talk when he heard the doorbell ringing. Xin Siyue looked at him before walking to the door. She inquired who it was as usual, and it was Xia Qiao. Xin Siyue heard his voice and opened the door for him. When Chen Sinan heard Xia Qiao, his gaze darkened and he unbuttoned the buttons on his shirt. When Xia Qiao walked in, before he could say anything, he heard Chen Sinans voice. Host Xia is pretty early. When Xia Qiao realized that there was a man in Xin Siyues house, he couldnt help but be shocked when he saw the disheveled Chen Sinan. Chen Sinan received Xia Qiaos shocked gaze and suddenly realized something. Calmly, he said sorry then buttoned up the buttons on his shirt with his slender and white fingers. Xin Siyue was surprised at Xia Qiaos reaction so she looked at Chen Sinan. She was at a lack of words. You I already told you not to unbutton it before, but you insisted. See, now youre letting others get a laugh out of it. Chen Sinan glanced at her and said helplessly with an affectionate voice. Chen Sinan, you Xin Siyues outlook of the world refreshed again. Chen Sinan, no one could be as good as you in being shameless. Xia Qiaos surprised gaze landed on Xin Siyues face to see her flushed cheeks. Her lips were a different shade of red as well. They had gotten much closer with each other while he wasnt paying attention? She moved in with Chen Sinan? Xia Qiao was uncomfortable with this piece of knowledge. He tried his best to ignore this feeling and said to Xin Siyue, Although I didnt see any reporters on my way up, its better to be careful Chen Sinan added on the side, There wont be any reporters. I had people handle this already. President Chen, you Host Xia, I can protect my own woman. Thank you for your concern. Xia Qiao was speechless and he looked at Xin Siyue, What do you plan to do today? Go to work as usual. Xin Siyue said. After all, I cant delay my work due to some boring video. Boring? Chen Sinan was the one who repeated her words. Chen Sinan really resented Xin Siyues actions. Sheng Wenyang dared to diss her like that and she could still act like it was nothing and say it was boring? I will handle this. Chen Sinan said. If you dont handle your own woman, who are you expecting to do so? Xin Siyue retorted in confidence. Once she finished her words, one person was happily surprised while the other was stunned. She then realized what was wrong with her words and hurriedly explained, I was referring to Sheng Wenyang! Chen Sinan, you better handle her. Dont let any cats and dogs just appear in my face. Chen Sinan smiled and said, Ok. Xin Siyue felt like there was something wrong with his smile. What was he smiling at? Conveniently, the driver sent by Xin Qiancheng arrived too. He said that he was supposed to bring Xin Siyue home and she felt that her brother was overly worried. So, she said to Xin Qiangchengs assistant, I cant leave right now. After I finish the work in my hands, I will go back to visit my parents in a few days. Nevermind. Ill just call my brother and tell him. Young miss, President Xin ordered for me to make sure you return to Shengjin City safely. I will be careful. Young miss I will talk to my brother. Sorry for the trouble. After Xin Siyue finished her words, she continued, I will be going to work. Since it was still early in the morning, its safer to leave right now. I will bring you. Chen Sinan and Xia Qiao looked at each other as they simultaneously said the same words. Chapter 108 - Disheveled Chen Sinan (2) Ch.108 Disheveled Chen Sinan (2) I will bring you. Chen Sinan and Xia Qiao looked at each other as they simultaneously said the same words. Xin Siyue detected the strange gaze between the two of them and she hurriedly explained, Its fine. Its easier if I drive. Xia Qiao, thank you. Once she was done speaking, she ignored Chen Sinan. Chen Sinan said to himself, You wont need to say thank you to your family. He slightly raised his chin to look proudly at Xia Qiao. Xia Qiao felt uncomfortable. Do they really have an unusual relationship? When Xin Siyue was about to leave, Chen Sinan forcibly shoved the breakfast in her hands. Xin Siyue was unwilling to accept but he said, You must finish this under my watch. You can choose whether to eat in the car or in the office. Xin Siyue clenched her teeth but accepted it in the end. When she walked out the door with Xia Qiao, she just remembered something. President Chen, please leave after youre done eating and close the door for me on your way out. I wont ask for the fee for staying in my house. In the future, you should eat somewhere else. Please cooperate with me. Chen Sinans face darkened as Xin Siyue said the words. Once Xia Qiao watched as the door closed, Xin Siyue clearly became ecstatic. He asked, Youre very happy? Yes, didnt you see his face? Hah, its so satisfying. I finally won him. Heh. Xia Qiao felt his heart gradually becoming bitter as he looked at her radiant and delighted expression. Xin Siyue was very busy today. When she buried herself in her laptop and prepared a draft, she noticed her colleagues would intentionally stop and sneak a few glances at her while they passed by. After a few times, Xin Siyue felt like her work efficiency was seriously affected by this. She suddenly raised her head to see a female colleague standing in front of her and observing her. The female colleague watched as she raised her head and she smiled at her, continuing to stare. Xin Siyue was a bit irritated, Whats the matter with you guys today? Why are you guys looking at me? Were curious! The female colleague moved closer to her and said, Siyue, are you and Chen Companys Chen Sinan together? Xin Siyue was speechless. No, where did you hear this from? From yesterdays video. Didnt you say that he likes you? That female colleague was confused. Is there any direct relationship with him liking me and the two of us being together? Yes! That colleague hurriedly explained. If youre with him, then if we want to make an appointment with Chen Sinan for news, it will definitely be easier. How would we still have trouble calling him right now then? Plus, if youre with him, then were keeping him with us, instead of letting someone else have him! So, Siyue, you must try your hardest! Xin Siyue was speechless. What? This morning, her work efficiency was really slower than what she anticipated. Xin Siyue didnt have any appetite when she ate in the dining hall in the afternoon. She was focused on thinking about something when she heard a familiar voice, Miss Xin is right. I am indeed pursuing after her right now. What? Xin Siyue turned around and looked at the crystal TV in the middle of the dining hall. In the middle of the screen, wasnt that young man wearing a gray suit, Chen Sinan? What was he doing? Didnt he dislike showing his face on the media? Xin Siyue knitted his eyebrows and her instinct told her that something bad was about to happen. As expected, he continued, I held this news conference to announce two things. First, Miss Sheng, Sheng Wenyang, and I are not in a relationship. Second, I am pursuing the Host Xin, Xin Siyue. But, I havent completed my mission. Hopefully everyone wont pressure her. Thank you. Once Chen Sinan finished this, he slightly bowed to express his gratitude. Then, he directly left and without paying attention to the reporters and friends. The eager reporters excitedly threw question after question at him, but they were stopped in their tracks by Assistant Wang and the others. Xin Siyue, who was stunned momentarily, suddenly detected her colleagues gazes on her; some of them were familiar to her while there were some whom she didnt know. She hurriedly covered her face with her hand and escaped from the scene, not even having the time to eat. She was scared that she would be pestered endlessly by her colleagues with questions. Chapter 109 - Disheveled Chen Sinan (3) Ch.109 Disheveled Chen Sinan (3) Xin Siyue left the dining hall and turned a corner by the stairs. She was about to call Chen Sinan when she saw the caller ID. Directors call? Did something significant happen? Xin Siyue just picked up when the Director asked, Host Xin, did you eat yet? Were planning to head out so lets go out for lunch. The confused Xin Siyue agreed to eat out with them. When the meal was about to end, she heard the Director say, In the future, if we need President Chens help, we are going to trouble Host Xin to give a good word for us in front of President Chen. Xin Siyue said, Director, youre being too polite She finally understood the hidden meaning behind this meal. Xin Siyue was really speechless with todays events. What made her even more shocked was how the lights were still on at home when she tiredly returned and was about to take off her high heels. She was shocked and she straightened her back to look inside. She stared at Chen Sinan who stood in the middle of the living hall wearing black pajamas. He asked naturally, Youre off work? Xin Siyue was speechless. Wait! She hurriedly interrogated him, Why are you in my house?! Wait no, how do you have the key to my house?! She clearly saw him attending a news conference in the afternoon. That meant he left, so how could he still come in? Chen Sinan pointed at her shoe cabinet and said as though it wasnt his fault, You placed a backup key in the left drawer of the shoe cabinet. Black lines fell down Xin Siyues forehead. Chen Sinan, do you know that youre trespassing my home like this?! Why dont you go and sue me? I want to see which police officer will care about the grudges of a married couple. Whos married to you? Dont lie through your teeth! I did everything that I should already. I already made it known to millions and millions of audience that I was going to pursue you. How are we not a couple? Even if we arent right now, we will be in the future. Heh, youre too confident. No, Im just discussing the matter as it stands. I dont care. Give me the key. You want the key that is in my pocket? Then, come and get it yourself. Xin Siyue ran out of words again. She really couldnt win Chen Sinan who was too shameless. Xin Siyue directly shooed him out the door. Her temple hurts from being angry. Chen Sinan knocked on the door a couple of times. Seeing that she really wont open the door for him, he was able to take out the backup key to open the door when he received a call from Zhuang Zhu. A Nan, lets go out to eat! Bring sister-in-law as well! Chen Sinan answered in irritation. I dont have time and Im not in Sheng Jin City. I know, I know. So, I came to A City. Quickly come. Im waiting for you! Zhuang Zhu waited a good half an hour before he saw Chen Sinan. But, it was just him. Zhuang Zhu was confused, Wheres sister-in-law? How come I dont see her? Is she someone you can easily see? Chen Sinan glanced at him. Zhuang Zhu immediately responded in an exaggerated tone, Oh my! The fact that you treasure her so much are you still the Chen Sinan I know? If you cant speak normally, then leave! Can I not even joke around? Zhuang Zhu continued to make fun of him, I especially came over from Sheng Jin City to see our sister-in-law who could make our President Chen confess in front of the media! Leave. Chen Sinan knew that this news conference will probably be a joke amongst Zhuang Zhu and the rest of them for a long time. Zhuang Zhu didnt make a big deal out of this and he continued to say enthusiastically, Well, youre not interested in the Sheng woman. That is as expected. Shes Mo Beis type and you guys dont even look like a couple together. But, I dont understand. Back then, when Mo Bei was back, how come you didnt deny that the Sheng woman was your girlfriend? Arent you afraid that sister-in-law will misunderstand? Chen Sinan hadnt explained before because he purposefully had the intention of making Mo Bei worried and anxious. He knew that Mo Bei had feelings for Sheng Wenyang. How could he let Mo Bei successfully gain the woman he loved when his own path to pursuing his woman was full of obstacles? Humph, its best to have a partner. When Zhuang Zhu saw that he wasnt responding, he asked again, How are you so sure that sister-in-law wont reject you because she misunderstood your relationship with that Sheng woman? Heh. In short, I wont let her escape. Chapter 110 - Is She too Indifferent, or too Fearless? (1) Ch.110 Is She too Indifferent, or too Fearless? (1) Not only had Zhuang Zhu come to A City, Mo Bei did too. Mo Bei looked at the expressionless Sheng Wenyang at the hotel and he couldnt help but be angry, He made it so obvious. Are you going to continue this and head towards the wrong path? Sheng Wenyang bitterly laughed. If I dont head on the wrong path, what else can I do? Mo Bei, I had persisted and tried my best for him all these years. Now that I made myself famous and well-known, he is no longer mine. Are you going to make me give up right now? I cant convince myself to. I cant. If you cant do it, what do you plan to do? Intervene between the two of them and become the mistress? Sheng Wenyang never thought that Mo Bei, who had always obedient to her, would say something like this. She reacted intensely and stood up to argue with Mo Bei, Whos the mistress?! Who! Chen Sinan is mine! Xin Siyue was the one who seduced her while I was abroad! Its Xin Siyue! Mo Beis reaction, compared to hers, was basically two different extremes. He sat calmly on the gray single person sofa and said emotionlessly, Wenyang, you always think that the best should belong to yours. Its the same for clothes, career, and even love. You want Chen Sinan but did you ask about his opinion? I just remembered that you probably didnt even ask him if he liked you before you went abroad, right? As expected, her face turned worse when Mo Bei asked her that. He mocked himself for being stupid. He was actually fooled by Chen Sinan and Sheng Wenyang! He calmed down and said meaningfully, Wenyang, if he could say that publicly during a news conference, it proves that he doesnt have you in his heart. Why must you lie to yourself?! Im not lying to myself! Sheng Wenyang said loudly. Chen Sinan is supposed to mine. I just went abroad and now, everything changed. Mo Bei, this shouldnt be the case! This shouldnt be! Time can change a lot of things. Wenyang, give up. Chen Sinan likes Xin Siyue. No! No! Its not my style to just give up without trying. At least, I wont feel ashamed if I fail after trying. Mo Bei stared at her determined expression and he suddenly laughed. Sheng Wenyang, what about me? Who do you take me to be? You think that I would just stupidly wait here for you, no matter how far you walk off to, just like Chen Sinan? Mo Bei, didnt we say that we wont mention that matter again? Mo Bei laughed helplessly. Yes, I wont mention it because Im always the one investing in this. Wenyang, sometimes I would ask myself, why am I doing all of this for you? But, maybe after a few years, this question wouldnt be as important anymore. Mo Bei Im just worried for you. Seeing that you have the spirit once again, I think I dont need to stay here anymore. I still need to return to Shengjin City to handle some matters. Ill be going now. Mo Bei Sheng Wenyang stared at his lonely silhouette and didnt know what to say for some time. The second day, Xin Siyue was about to get ready for work after coming downstairs when she saw Chen Sinan wearing a suit and waiting for her in the parking lot. Xin Siyue wanted to walk around him when Chen Sinan noticed her and immediately walked up. Good morning. President Chen, what are you planning to do? Im bringing you to work. Thank you but there is no need. I bought breakfast. Chen Sinan stopped her from walking to the right. Xin Siyue looked expressionlessly at him and walked over to the other side. However, Chen Sinan stopped her again. Im just scared that you would head to work early so I had been waiting here for you since early in the morning. In other words, he had been waiting for a long time. Xin Siyue thought this was funny. I didnt make you wait for me. Hm? So can I take you to work? I can drive myself. Xin Siyue rejected. Cant you give me a chance to perform? Chen Sinan believed even more that this woman had a heart of stone. The chances are for people who need it. President Chen, I think you should forget about it. After Xin Siyue left him behind and saw that he didnt chase after her, she couldnt help but wonder how come he was so easy to talk to today. When she arrived at the TV Station, the colleague in front of the reception desk said that she needed to sign something. Xin Siyue was stunned. What did she have? She didnt remember having a delivery. When she saw a bouquet of brilliant red roses, she was frozen. The bright red color attracted many female colleagues. Someone asked, Did President Chen gift this bouquet of roses? Xin Siyue responded without thinking, Impossible! In the original book, Chen Sinan seemed to have never gifted Sheng Wenyang flowers. The colleagues all gestured about and said, We dont believe this! Wont we find out by looking at the card?! Siyue, Siyue, quickly look! Quickly look! Dont be shy, Siyue. Dont hide this from us. Just look at the signature. In the end, at the bottom of the pink card was Chen Sinan, written in bold cursive calligraphy. Wow! So romantic! President Chen is so considerate! Siyue, youre so blessed! Xin Siyue was confused. He actually gifted this? Chen Sinan was being serious? Chapter 111 - Is She too Indifferent, or too Fearless? (2) Ch.111 Is She too Indifferent, or too Fearless? (2) Xin Siyue carried a bouquet of roses that could block her face and didnt dare to stay. She quickened her pace to her office. The moment she sat down, her phone revealed the caller ID as Chen Sinan. Xin Siyue thought about it before she rejected the call and firmly blocked Chen Sinans number. She proudly opened her laptop when she got another call, this time, from an unfamiliar number. She hesitated before she picked up, Hello, I am Xin Siyue. Did you receive the flowers? Do you like it? YouC Xin Siyue felt like he latched onto every opportunity. I dont like it so dont give it to me in the future. Usually when women say that they dont like it, they mean that they like it. IChen Sinan, I dont want to talk to you about this. Im going to hang up. Also, dont call me anymore. I need to work. If were going out for lunch together, I wont bother you. Xin Siyue answered without hesitation, I dont want to. She directly hung up after. In the end, the phone rang again. Xin Siyue ended up shutting her phone off. However, when she did that, it held things up. After half an hour, a colleague came over and urged, Host Xin, Director wants you in his office. Ah? Xin Siyue was shocked. What did the Director want from her? She had seen the Director a little too much these past two days. When she arrived at the office, the Director asked, How come I couldnt call you before? Xin Siyue cleverly turned her phone back on as she walked over. She smiled dryly and lied, Sorry Director. I was charging my phone before. Ok. Thankfully the Director didnt continue to ask about it. He delivered an invitation, Designer Sheng personally delivered this invitation over. Shes in the conference room still and wants to invite you to be the host of her jewelry exhibition for her company next week. What do you think? Xin Siyue naturally didnt need to think about it before she rejected this. Sheng Wenyang had a strong mindset. She was in an awkward situation with her, yet she was still able to invite her to be her exhibitions host? Did she want the two of them to dislike each other? Or was she planning to increase the popularity of the scandal? No matter what she was planning to do, Xin Siyue wont let her have her way. She slightly smiled and said, Director, I dont think I will have time. How about you see which colleague in the TV Station has time and let them go over? Ok. Sheng Wenyang said that she just wanted you to host it. If you dont want to, why not make it clear to her? Its pretty to explain some things. Right? Host Xin. Xin Siyue smiled fakely and tugged the left corner of her lips up. She took the invitation and walked towards the conference room. What is this?! In the vast conference room, Sheng Wenyangs slender fingers caressed the edge of the white glass. She seemed to be emptying her mind. Xin Siyue closed the door after she came in. Sheng Wenyang suddenly snapped out of her daydream and said, Whats Host Xins answer? Thank you for the offer. Xin Siyue said simply. If Host Xin is still holding a grudge against what I had said downstairs that day, I can apologize. Theres no need. I am very busy these days so I cant attend. Its best if Designer Sheng finds another colleague. Seeing her determined attitude, Sheng Wenyang laughed and said, I guessed that you wouldnt agree. Since you know, why did you come then? To increase the awkwardness between the two of us? Xin Siyue sneered. Who knew Sheng Wenyang faintly smiled and said, I just want to say something. You like Chen Sinan but I also like him too. I wont give up on him so I want to have a fair fight with you. Xin Siyue waved her hands impatiently, You dont need to fight me. I never thought of him in that way. Im not interested in the two of you guys. Designer Sheng, if you dont have anything else to say, Im going back to work. Do as you wish. After Xin Siyue left, Sheng Wenyang tightly held onto the warm cup with her right hand. Her eyes darkened. She acted like it didnt matter to her or did she have no fear? Xin Siyue was too lazy to take notice of Sheng Wenyangs thoughts. She had to hurry back to memorize her lines because she needed to record the program tonight. When she was off work in the afternoon and worrying over where to eat, she received a call saying that they had her takeout. Xin Siyue shockingly went downstairs to sign the delivery. She noticed that the takeout was the dishes from a pretty famous Chinese restaurant nearby. She enjoyed the food there and ate there a few times with her colleagues. But the business was too good there so they needed to wait a long time for their food. So, even though she liked it, she rarely went there. But who ordered for her? Chen Sinan? Not only did Chen Sinan bring her lunch, but also an afternoon snack. Xin Siyue didnt know how to respond to her colleagues who were joking about her while eating the cake. He wanted to emphasize his existence? Chapter 112 - Prejudice (1) Ch.112 Prejudice (1) It was rare for Chen Sinan to end work early. He waited half an hour downstairs for Xin Siyue, but he still didnt spot her getting off from work. He gave her a call, only to realize that she had blocked him and had not removed him from her blacklist. Helplessly, he could only call Assistant Wang and have him contact her. Call her and tell her that I am waiting for her downstairs. Assistant Wang almost blurted out who is she? when he heard TV Station and he hurriedly answered, President Chen, please wait momentarily. Im calling her now. Ok. Xin Siyue wasnt done talking to the Director when she heard the phone ringing. It was an unfamiliar number which stopped ringing for a few seconds before resuming again. Xin Siyue had no choice but to stop the discussion and pick up the call, only to notice it was an unfamiliar mans voice. Hello Miss Xin, President Chen wants me to tell you that hes waiting for you downstairs at the TV Station. Hm? What? Xin Siyue scrunched her eyebrows. Without thinking, she said, Can you tell him that I will be recording a program tonight and for him to quickly leave? Assistant Wang responded calmly, Miss Xin, sorry. How about you call President Chen and personally tell him this? Thank you, goodbye. Xin Siyue was irritated when he hung up on herl. What was Chen Sinan doing?! There was already a lot of gossip circulating about them, and now that he appeared downstairs, what would her colleagues think of her? Xin Siyue fixed the last issue with the Director absent-mindedly and hesitated a bit before taking out her phone to call him. Once Chen Sinan saw her call, he faintly raised the tip of his eyebrows. He knew that sooner or later, she would take his phone number out the blacklist. For now, he will be generous and temporarily wont argue about this with her, but in the future, he will slowly settle accounts with her. He said gently, When do you get off work? Ill bring you for food. I dont have time. Chen Sinan, can you not add onto the inconvenience by appearing where I work? If you have something to say, we can talk about it when were home. I just want to eat with you. Well, thank you. Chen Sinan didnt rush her. He said in an upset voice, Since youre so busy and dont have time to eat with me, then Ill just order takeout and bring it upstairs for you. After all, you need to eat dinner. You should have time to eat food. You Xin Siyues head was hurting. I ate some simple food so Im full now. Then Ill wait for you to get off work. Chen Sinan? Can you be more mature? Im really disturbed by your actions. Youre disturbed because you wont let yourself enjoy this process. Heh. Xin Siyue thought this was funny and said, If you want me to enjoy the process, the precondition is that it has to be someone I like. I think I can forget about it if its you. Youre always like this. Chen Sinans magnetic voice penetrated through the phone. You never place your guard against me down, so how could you possibly be moved by me? Siyue, you have something against me. This indescribable prejudice is unfair to me. Chen Sinans complaint made Xin Siyue stunned. When she was shocked, he didnt continue this topic but said, Work properly. Xin Siyue stared at the phone, unable to guess his thoughts. But because of Chen Sinans seemingly accidental words, she suddenly realized that he was right. She always held a prejudice against Chen Sinan and this originated from the original books tragic ending. Her impression of him was engraved in her mind before she crossed over. The female side leads family was ruined, destroyed, and ultimately died violent deaths because of his ruthless and merciless methods. Yet, she neglected the most important thingCshe was herself, not the Xin Siyue from the original book. She never did anything that led to misunderstandings or disturbed Chen Sinan in any way. She didnt do anything to hurt Sheng Wenyang either, and Chen Sinan wasnt with Sheng Wenyang yet. Ever since she crossed over, all the things that happened completely changed. For example, her work, like this place. The book never mentioned A City and how the male and female leads never went to A City before. Yet, they were settled here A lot of things arent developing in the way of the original plot. Xin Siyue couldnt help but mockingly laugh at herself. She cared only for her business in the past and never thought much. As it turned out, shes the stupid one this whole time. She now pondered Chen Sinans words of how she held prejudice against him. It seemed to be the case. After all, ever since she crossed over, she never treated and viewed him fairly before. He didnt do anything overly excessive to her. Chen Sinan was an outstanding and considerate person. If she stopped holding prejudice against him, would she stop pushing him away? Xin Siyue laughed and shook her head. She didnt want to continue her thoughts. Once she was done with the work at night, she arrived at the parking lot. Right when she was about to take out the car keys from her bag to unlock the car, she heard a clear honk from the car behind. Xin Siyue looked with suspicion at the black car but then decided to ignore it. She was about to open her car door and get in when the black car honked again. Chapter 113 - Prejudice (2) Ch.113 Prejudice (2) Who is it? Xin Siyue walked over there to take a look. The drivers car window rolled down a bit to reveal Chen Sinan sitting in the car with a white shirt on. He shifted his head and casually said, Get on. Ill take you home. Why are you Didnt you wish that your colleagues wont see you? Theres a security camera behind so I wont get off the car. Xin Siyue was surprised by Chen Sinans explanation. Yet, looking at his sincere look, she seemed toAfter she successfully got in the car, there was only one thought running in her mind: Xin Siyue, its over! Chen Sinan thought that he would need to spend more effort on convincing her to get in the car. Who knew that it wouldve been so successful? The car drove for a distance. Chen Sinan glanced over to see her scrolling through her Weibo and WeChat. He passed his phone over to her. Xin Siyue looked confusedly at the black phone in front of her and asked, What are you doing? I dont have your WeChat or Weibo. I used my own name for Weibo. Xin Siyue thought in her heart: If you had the intention of following me, how could you not have it?! But Chen Sinan didnt think so. It has a different meaning. How is it different? Why are you asking that much? Just do as I tell you. I cant even ask why youre making me do this? Xin Siyue retorted. Chen Sinan heard this and turned around to look at her. After a while, he said, Then can you add my WeChat? The speechless Xin Siyue really didnt understand him. She took his phone and clicked on the screen. Seeing that the screen was locked, she passed the phone back to him and said, Whats the password? She originally wanted to hint: theres a password so you can just add me later. Who knew Chen Sinan replied without thinking: 105619. What? Its the password. Chen Sinan stared at her blank expression and couldnt help but say, I think its best if our child takes after my genes in the future. Xin Siyue was stunned for a while before she realized what he was saying. She pursed her lips and couldnt be bothered to respond to him. What was he saying?! After she put the password in, she opened WeChat and successfully added him as a friend. Chen Sinan reminded, Weibo also. You can follow me back when youre home. Is it that difficult for you to follow me? Im going to say the same thing back to you. Although Xin Siyue said this, she still opened his Weibo and followed herself for him. His Weibo name was a bunch of English letters. She had no idea what it meant. After Xin Siyue glanced at it, she didnt pay attention to the rest. She gave the phone back to him. Chen Sinan originally wanted to bring her out for a midnight snack but Xin Siyue said that she didnt want to eat it since she just finished recording the program and was too tired. In the end, Chen Sinan ordered some exquisite dishes as takeout for her to bring back home. When he brought her to her neighborhood, Chen Sinan watched as she wanted to get off the car as she unbuckled the seat belt. He pulled on her arm and said, Youre just going to leave like this? What? What else should she do? Invite him up for tea? Dont even think about it. Its in the middle of the night. Chen Sinan laughed and said, After all, I should get a goodnight kiss, right? I performed very well today. Heh, dream on! Yes, I am always thinking of you. Xin Siyue looked over to see his tender look. She almost immediately ran off. Seeing her escaping figure, Chen Sinan couldnt help but tilt his lips up into a smile. He picked up his phone and unlocked it before going on Weibo. Seeing that there was clearly an extra person in his followers, he finally had the urge to write a comment. In the past, he would frequently forward activities in the company or for propaganda, but he didnt really have the mood to personally write comments. Today was quite a rare occurrence. It was a simple comment. He just plainly @ her. Xin Siyue ran to her house and still felt her heart thumping non stop as she reached into her pocket for her keys. Why did he suddenly say that?! Before Xin Siyue even opened the door, someone said from behind, Are you finally interested in someone? She almost dropped her keys out of shock. She hurriedly steadied her hand and turned around. Who knew when Xin Qiancheng stood behind her. She panted a bit and clapped her chest, saying, Brother, you scared me! If you dont do anything wrong, you wont be afraid. Did you do something bad? Xin Siyue rolled her eyes at him and turned around to open the door. Since when?! She had been carefully living in this world and when did she have the guts to do something bad? Xin Qiancheng followed her inside and asked, Was it Chen Sinan who just brought you back? Xin Siyue nodded her head and observed his expression. He shouldnt like Chen Sinan. As expected, Xin Qianchengs expression was a bit ugly, Whats your situation with him right now? What? What situation? Xin Siyue didnt understand either. Xin Qiancheng stared at her and coldly humphed. He shook his head, As expected, one cant keep a girl at home anymore when she is of age. Chapter 114 - Who Are You Referring To? (1) Ch.114 Who Are You Referring To? (1) On the same night that Xin Qiancheng stayed at A City, Xin Siyue received a phone call from Bai Ning. After finishing her call and hanging up, Xin Siyue laughed and said, I was initially touched by you coming to A City, thinking that you came to visit me, but it seems like I was thinking too much about this! Xin Qiancheng, who just got out of the shower, neatly dried his wet hair before replying, Even if we delve more into this topic, the responsibility still lies with you. How does Mother wanting you to go on blind dates have anything to do with me? Xin Siyue looked at him with displeasure and said, Brother, you cant put all the blame on me! Xin Qiancheng said confidently, If it werent for Chen Sinans news conference and our parents discovering that their daughter has a boyfriend, do you think they would rush to find me a partner? Xin Siyue, you need to be honest and sincere! Thisyou should go and find Chen Sinan! Xin Siyue retorted and said, Hes the one who wanted to blabber nonsense. How could I stop him?! Plus, he never told her that he was going to hold a news conference. The more she thought about it, the more Xin Siyue felt like he did this on purpose. Originally, the videos and all the related information were already deleted. Their company had also made a statement, so why did he need to show his face to the public and say such nonsense!? Xin Qiancheng gave her a meaningful look and said, Once you make mom give up the idea of making me go on blind dates, Ill leave. Hey! How could I convince her?! Xin Qiancheng only cared about the ending, not the process. He asked, Wheres the guest room? Xin Siyue pointed at a direction and Xin Qiancheng went to his room to rest without another word. Xin Siyue who was still at the living room was stunned: he was going to live here? Although she wanted to shoo him away, Xin Siyue abandoned the thought after predicting her success rate and taking in account of her low capability to fight against him. The next morning, she wanted to wake up early to make breakfast. After all, Xin Qiancheng was now living here, and it wouldnt be good to let him starve. In the end, the moment she got out of bed and out of the bedroom, she heard movements from the entrance hall. Subconsciously assuming it was Xin Qiancheng, she yawned and squinted her eyes while saying in a muffled voice, Why are you up so early? I didnt even start cooking yet. Xin Siyue hadnt received a response for a while. She was confused and hurriedly looked straight ahead. The tall gray figure wasnt Xin Qiancheng at all! Xin Siyue panicked in the first moments and she stammered, Whywhy are you here so early?! After Chen Sinan heard her question, his face darkened and said seriously, If I didnt come here early enough, I wouldnt even know that you have another guy in your house. As he said this, Chen Sinan pointed at the suit that Xin Qiancheng threw on the sofa. He humped and said, Xin Siyue, youve gotten better! So you had been rejecting me because of him? No, no, its not what you think! Xin Siyue hurriedly explained. I didnt Why is it so noisy early in the morning?! Xin Qiancheng knitted his eyebrows and walked out the guest room. He was annoyed at being woken up by the noise. Seeing that there really was a guy walking out the room, Chen Sinan was burning with rage. Though, after he saw the young mans face, his anger dissipated. This was really a big misunderstanding. Chen Sinan softly massaged his temple. However, after Xin Qiancheng noticed that there was an extra man that he didnt like within the living room, he immediately looked at Xin Siyue and interrogated, Why is he in your house so early? Chen Sinan didnt admit defeat and asked, Didnt President Xin appear in her house early in the morning too? Im different from you. Were going to be a family in the future. Whos going to be a family with you?! Chapter 115 - Who Are You Referring To? (2) Ch.115 Who Are You Referring To? (2) Xin Siyue glanced at the two bickering men and decided to just run off to the kitchen. She was too lazy to pay attention to these two people! On the way to work, because Xin Siyue didnt drive her car back, Chen Sinan offered to bring her over. She didnt have any objections but Xin Qiancheng did. President Chen, youre always busy with work so its better if I bring my sister over to her workplace. You dont need to worry about this. President Xin is being too polite. I brought her back yesterday so I naturally need to bring her to work today. Since Im here, theres no need to trouble President Chen. Xin Siyue watched as the two of them talked in official tones and felt exhausted for the two of them. Brother, if you guys keep on arguing, I guess I dont need to go to work. Nevermind, you guys can keep arguing. Ill just hail a taxi. Maybe, its quicker this way. Of course, in the end, Chen Sinan brought her over. As Chen Sinan was about to leave, he couldnt help but be in a happy mood upon seeing Xin Qianchengs gloomy look. While waiting for the red light, Chen Sinan turned around to look at Xin Siyue. He noticed how she was wearing white pearls earrings which made her skin look white and beautiful in contrast. She was a bit sexy like this. He laughed and said, Wife is beautiful today! Xin Siyues face flushed as she heard him. She quickly reprimanded, Whos your wife? Dont randomly call me that! Chen Sinan looked meaningfully at her and cleverly didnt retort. After all, it was bound to happen sooner or later! Within ten minutes of Xin Siyue arriving at the office, she received the Directors call, telling her to go and find him. Xin Siyues instinct was that it wasnt something good because it was never something good with the Director. But what made her surprised was that disaster and happiness were interdependent on each other. The Director sat on the chair and said in a proper tone, We had all seen the episode where you interviewed Sheng Wenyang and you do have some strengths. Plus, the audience had recommended you into becoming a member of the program, and I as well as the rest of the higher ranks had discussed this. Everyone agreed to you changing to a host for interviewing programs. Xin Siyue was shocked and happy. Indeed, she always wanted to try and interact with interviewing programs. She originally thought that she needed to try another few years before she could do so. Who knew this came easily at her! Seeing how happy she was and didnt object against it, the Director continued, This interviewing program has been around in the TV Station for a long time and there is a vast audience. Host Lu will be marrying at the end of the year, so from now on, you guys can work with each other. Host Xin, is that fine? Xin Siyue didnt dare to immediately take on this because there was no such thing as a free lunch in her opinion. She said, Director, can I go back and think about it? Of course, you can go back and think about it. Its best if you can give me a response before getting off work this afternoon. Xin Siyue nodded her head and agreed. She was still in a dilemma when she returned to her office. She asked Gu Ton and she immediately said, Go, go, go! If you dont go, that would be a waste of chance! We all know how difficult it is to change to hosting interviewing programs! Plus, didnt you always want to try hosting this style of program? Gu Tong indeed said what she was thinking about. Zhong Qin also agreed. Xin Siyue gave her answer before work ended and the Director nodded his head pleasingly. Not bad, not bad. You didnt disappoint me! In the end, after they finished the discussion for the episode, Xin Siyue figured out the pit behind this free lunch. This program Walk into your worldprepared to interview the Film Empress of the entertainment circle, Jian Lan, for the next episode. Jian Lan received numerous prizes based on her outstanding roles that she acted. She even earned the title of Film Empress. Chapter 116 - Who Are You Referring To? (3) Ch.116 Who Are You Referring To? (3) But, what was amazing about Jian Lan was that she didnt like any other activities besides shooting scenes. Besides having to attend the awards ceremony, she rarely showed her face on interviews and comprehensive arts and entertainment activities. In short, it was very difficult to make an appointment with her. But this extremely difficult task landed on Xin Siyue. Siyue, this episode on Jian Lan will be given for you. I heard that she is shooting a TV play in Shengjin City right now. Youre familiar with that place too so fly over there and personally talk with her. You must let her agree to coming to our program. Pit, what a big pit. Before Xin Siyue could open her mouth, the beautiful Miss Lu who sat across laughed at her misfortune and said, Our Host Xin has a powerful person supporting her so this isnt something difficult for her! Xin Siyue knew that she was talking about Chen Sinan and that she was against her joining this program. She couldnt help but wish that she will fail on inviting Jian Lan, but Xin Siyue laughed and looked at the beautiful Miss Lu leisurely. She lazily asked, Host Lu, not only do I have someone supporting me, but there are multiple people. Who are you referring to? Host Xin really dares to put this in public! Wasnt it Miss Lu who brought it in public first? The other people were all dumbstruck. This was the first day and the two were already fighting? As expected, one mountain cant allow two tigers. Xin Siyue went back and found detailed information on Jian Lan. She surprisingly found out that the company she was at was Chen Sinans mother, Weng Yinlins company. If she goes to request Weng Yinlin, it will save her a lot of effort. But ever since she avoided Weng Yinlins invitation and didnt attend old man Chens birthday banquet, she didnt visit her anymore. She felt bad in her heart. Xin Siyue couldnt feel comforted in her heart to ask her elders to help her with something the first thing she does when she hadnt met her in a few years. So, how could she trouble her? In the end, Xin Siyue decided to start from Jian Lan. She contacted Jian Lans manager and expressed her motive. She didnt expect Jian Lan to immediately agree but hoped that she could take some time out to talk to her. Who knew that after a few hours that she sent it, the other party replied, Hello Host Xin. Yes, you can come to Sheng Jin Citys xx Hotel. Jian Lan is shooting some scenes nearby and she will have time tomorrow ten in the morning. Xin Siyue was surprised that it was very successful. Of course, Jian Lans manage had encouraged her. After he saw the private message on Weibo, he told Jian Lan about A Citys Walk into your worldwhich wanted to interview her. Without thinking, she rejected it. The manager explained, Host Xin is the Bosss future daughter-in-law. She said that she wants to see you and talk. Jian Lan was memorizing her lines when she heard Bosss future daughter-in-law. She was stunned for a moment before she said, Can I reject her? ThisI suggest for you to agree. The second day, Xin Siyue decided to go to Sheng Jin City, so she prepared a very abundant dinner. When Xin Qiancheng returned and saw this, he couldnt help but be shocked. Why did you order so much takeout? Xin Siyue who was pouring soup was speechless. She said, I didnt buy it. I cooked it. Cant you tell? Xin Qiancheng was suspicious. You have this ability? Of course! Try it! Xin Qiancheng took the spoon from her and was able to taste it, but he raised his head to say, If you have something, say it. What? Im scared from looking at this dinner! You can choose whether to eat it or not! Xin Siyue admired him. She just wanted to cook for him and he had thought of her like this? Xin Qiancheng saw the change in her expression and he sat down to taste it. He said, Im just kidding. Did you actually take it seriously? I didnt take it seriously. Xin Siyue lowered her head and ate. Chapter 117 - You Were Born Lucky Ch.117 You Were Born Lucky Xin Qiancheng continued to ask, Then why are you in the mood to cook this much? He froze for a moment after finishing his sentence, then asked hastily, Are you thinking about inviting Chen Sinan over to eat? What does it have to do with Chen Sinan? Its a miracle that he didnt follow you over tonight. Xin Siyue remembered Chen Sinan messaging her telling her that he couldnt pick her up because of an important meeting, so he told the driver to pick her up. But Xin Siyue had a car herself so she didnt want to make it troublesome. She messaged him back, saying that she could drive home herself. Chen Sinan told her to be careful on the way and said that he had a dinner party to attend after the meeting. By the time it ended, it probably wouldve been too late. Xin Siyue only replied, Oh. Now that Xin Qiancheng asked, Xin Siyue explained, Hes a bit busy. Xin Qiancheng did not give his opinion. Xin Siyue also told him that she will go back to Shen Jin City tomorrow morning to see Jian Lan. Do you need my help? Xin Qiancheng asked. He was just asking because he knew that Xin Siyue always wanted to handle everything herself. All this time, she never allowed him to interfere with her business. As expected, Xin Siyue said confidently, Its fine, Ill do it myself. Ill find another way if it doesnt go well tomorrow. Chen Sinan went to find her the next morning and sent her a message telling her that he will wait for down stairs, but she still hadnt responded in a long time. He rang the bell; upon recognizing his voice, Xin Qiancheng replied without opening the door, She went to work. Chen Sinan was surprised. She went to work early today? He wanted to ask her out for lunch but she hadnt responded to the message still. He could only call her directly. Xin Siyue just met Jian Lan when Chen Sinan called her. They scheduled for 10:30, but Xin Siyue waited for a whole forty minutes to see her. Jian Lan still had her theatrical costume on her. After she saw Xin Siyue, she apologized with a smile on her face, Sorry, I thought I could go on break earlier, but then they added another scene, so I didnt have time until now. Sorry for making Ms. Xin wait for such a long time. Its ok, thank you for taking the time to meet with me. This time Before Xin Siyue finished her words, her phone rang. It was Chen Sinan. She picked it up to take a glance then she hung up. But a few moments later, the phone call came in again. Sorry, Im going to answer a call. Xin Siyue explained. Jian Lan nodded and smiled. The first thing Chen Sinan asked was: when do you get off work? Xin Siyue answered, I dont know. Then give me a call when you finish. Ill bring you out to eat. Chen Sinan, Im not in A City. Hm? Im at Shenjin City. Xin Siyue heard the subtle tone in his voice before she remembered that she forgot to tell him that she went to see Jiang Lan. However, she didnt dare to delay him. She said hurriedly, Im busy right now, Ill call you back later. Hello? After Xin Siyue hung up the call, she quickly set her phone to vibrate. When she returned, Jian Lans agent was gone and only Jian Lan was there. She was about to open the play script. Seeing Xin Siyues return, she said directly, Weng Yinling is my boss. Yes, I know. And I also saw Chen Sinans press conference. Heh. Xin Siyue was a bit embarrassed. I think that youre blessed. Jian Lan said, Of course I have no other intentions towards my bosss son. I just think that its rare for a man to have the guts to confess his love to a woman whom he hasnt won yet in front of hundreds of millions of audience. Plus, he has a considerable social status. Disregarding love, you are also a very lucky person. Everything has been going smooth for you your family and career. Its seems so from your words. Xin Siyue gave a faint smile. Everything she had now were given by this world. Im not a lucky person. I was born in the countryside and I struggled for fourteen years in the entertainment industry to become the person I am today. Also, I need to thank the bosss witty eyes for everything I have today. Yes I know. Jian Lan smiled and said, So people like me dont really have anything to say to people like you who was born at a higher starting point. Chapter 118 - Accident (1) Ch.118 Accident (1) Kitty Jiu: Dont forget to check out my patreon and join the Public RAFFLE for +2 chapter giveaways: https://www.patreon.com/posts/34533927 Jian Lan smiled and said, So people like me dont really have anything to say to people like you who was born at a higher starting point. Xin Siyue finally understood what Jian Lan was repulsive about. She continued to smile and answered, I think that our background cant determine the commonalities of our conversation topics. Maybe I could understand your feelings too? Whose accomplishments didnt come from hard work? I can say without a guilt that my accomplishments today was also from my hard work. You dare, I day, and a lot of other people dare to say this too. Your starting point doesnt determine your life. But, the influences are critical; it determined how much effort and hard work you put in in order to get what you want. Jian Lan replied. But dont you think that the accomplishments from hard work are more satisfying than attaining them for no reason? Host Xin, I feel like you are very different from the girls who came from affluent families. Jian Lan smiled. So, will you accept my interview? I think that we will have a great talk. Let me think about it. Jian Lan replied without directly accepting. Alright, Ms. Jian, you can think about it. I hope I can hear your good news. Jian Lan gave a gentle smile. After seeing Jian Lan, Xin Siyue wanted to go home and prepare her script. But she didnt expect the car in the corner to suddenly rush over while she was calling Bai Ning to tell her that she will be home soon. Not realizing the red light ahead of her, she didnt have time to hit the brakes. She quickly turned the steering wheel and her car just brushed past the other car. Although the car avoided the accident, Xin Siyue didnt expect the car to still hit the fence on the road. The front of the car was damaged severely, showing the impact of the crash. Xin Siyue quickly dialed the police number while running towards the car. As a result of the accident, the road became congested and people started to accumulate. Xin Siyue ran to the side of the car and saw that the owner of the red car wasnt responding. She quickly dialed the hospital number because she seemed like she had fainted. With the help of the public, they were able to get the wounded person onto the ambulance, but Xin Siyue was a bit absent minded: What a coincidence that she crashed into Sheng Wenyang? After Xin Siyue cooperated with the police to record the accident, she went back to the hospital. When she got there, she just found out that Sheng Wenyang was still in the emergency room. She was worried about the randomness of this accident. It seemed as if there was someone manipulating behind the scenes! She just arrived at Sheng Jin City within two hours and what a coincidence that she had crashed into Sheng Wenyang? And also, when did Sheng Wenyang come back? After Xin Siyue waited for a while outside of the emergency room, she took out her phone to check. She saw a lot of unanswered calls from Bai Ning, Xing Qiancheng, and Chen Sinan She first gave Bai Ning a call. Bai Ning asked her why she still wasnt home yet and she told her that a little accident happened on her way, so she will be home later. Bai Ning didnt ask any further. She only told her to be careful on her way home. As she hung up the call, Xin Qiancheng called, Are you alright? Im fine. Xin Siyue was puzzled, Brother, how did you know that something happened to me? How can I not know when its on the news? Then mom dont tell her yet! The news is already out. Do you think our parents wont find out later on? Xin Qiancheng asked, Where are you now? The hospital. Ok, good. Go have a check up first. You might have some wounds that you dont even know about. Regarding Sheng Wenyang, Ill get some people to take care of her. After you finish your check up, Ill tell the driver to take you home. Dont drive anymore. Thank you, brother. Xin Siyue still hasnt recovered from the fright. She sat still for a few minutes until Weng Yinlin rushed to her. Aunt? Why are you here? Xin Siyue asked confusingly. Weng Yinlin examined her from top to bottom. Are you hurt anywhere? Xin Siyue shook her head. Weng Yinlin still wasnt relieved. Let me take you to do a full body check up. That way, I wont be worried. Aunt, Im really fine. Are you really not hurt? No, Sheng Wenyang was the one injured. It seemed to be severe from the situation. Chapter 119 - Accident (2) Ch.119 Accident (2) But Weng Yinlin said, No one wants this accident to happen. You are also tired. Let me send you home first. Leave this for my secretary. But Sheng Wenyang I already asked the nurse to contact her family members and assistant. Ill tell my secretary to call you when she is out of danger. Xin Siyue couldnt find a way to reject so she left first in the end. On her way home, she felt a severe pain in her temple; her brain was filled by the buzzing sound, as if it was about to explode. As she entered her house, Bai Ning held a handbag, rushing to go outside. Mother, where are you going? Silly child, you are going to scare me to death! Are you alright? Let me see, let me see. Other than her pale face, there wasnt anything wrong with Xin Siyue. Bai Ning let out a sigh of relief, You dont know how frightened your dad and I were when we saw the news. Good thing nothing happened to you. Yeah, mom, Im fine. I wasnt hurt, but the person who I crashed into was injured and shes in the hospital right now. Its fine. Go rest. Your father will take care of everything in the hospital. Xin Jinan reassured her. Xin Siyue nodded with gratitude. Upon waking up, she went down stairs after a moment of trance. She suddenly realized that Chen Sinan and Xin Qiancheng were all here. You guys Hearing the voice, Chen Sinan stood up first, quickly. He walked to the staircase with big strides and held her hand, Are you injured anywhere? He asked nervously. Since the accident, Xin Siyue heard this phrase so many times already. Weirdly, when Chen Sinan asked, she choked with emotions, and then suppressed her unreasonable emotions. She thought that it might be because of how slow she reacted, or else she wouldnt feel the fear of the event until now. Chen Sinan saw her pale face and her eyes slightly sparkling with tears. He can tell that she mustve felt more scared than she was right now at the time of the accident. He couldnt resist the urge to reassure her, As long as youre fine, its all good, Ill take care of the other things. Theres no need. My father said he will handle it and your mom also said the same. Chen Sinan rubbed her head, smiling. Why separating everything so clearly when were a family! Cough cough Upon hearing Xin Qianchengs cough, Xin Siyue suddenly remembered that Xin Qiancheng was also there, so she quickly let go of Chen Sinans hand. Brother, wheres father? She changed the subject. In the hospital. Did Sheng Wenyang wake up yet? She looked at Chen Sinan as she said the words. I came here right after I got off the plane. Chen Sinan replied, implying that he didnt know anything about the hospital yet. Xin Qiancheng had no idea too. As the three of them were silent, Xin Qiancheng and Chen Sinans phone rang at the same time; Xin Siyue can already guess who the phone call was from. After they both hung up the phone, Xin Siyue guessed, She woke up? Yes. Xin Qiancheng replied but his gaze was on Chen Sinan. Xin Siyue vaguely had a bad feeling. Chen Sinan looked at Xin Qiancheng, then at Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue said, Hm? She wants to see him. Xin Qiancheng said straightforwardly. Xin Siyue just understood his meaning: Sheng Wenyang wanted to see him? Oh. She reacted frivolously. Theres nothing between me and her. Chen Sinan explained. Oh. Then are you going over? Xin Siyue asked. Chen Sinan hesitated. A smile suddenly appeared on Xin Siyues face, I want to go. Ill take you. Xin Qiancheng looked at the two of them without saying anything. He didnt care how Chen Sinan will handle this, but if he dared to make Siyue feel bad, he wouldnt be having it. Arriving at the hospital, Xin Siyue saw white bandages wrapped around Sheng Wenyangs head and she laid on the bed, fragile. Im sorry. Xin Siyue said apologetically. Did he come? Sheng Wenyang asked weakly. The He that she was referring to was obvious. He came. Xin Siyue said after a little pause. I want to see him. Xin Siyue walked out of the ward. She wants to see you. She said as she looked at the Chen Sinan who stood outside. Chen Sinan was silent. Xin Siyue gave him a last glance, then moved to the side to make space for him. Go in together? Chen Sinan held her hand and asked. No. Xin Siyue forced a smile and then pulled her hand out from his. Aside from Weng Yinlins secretary and Xin Qianchengs assistant, Weng Yinlin and Xin Jin were present too. The two parents saw their interactions; although they didnt say anything, but their eyes conveyed a lot of emotions. Chapter 120 - Accident (3) Ch.120 Accident (3) After Chen Sinan went into the ward, Weng Yinlin held Xin Siyues hands and make her sit next to her. Dont worry, I know A Nans personality very well. Hes not the kind of man whos fickle in love. She assured Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue replied with a smile and remained silent. Whether or not hes that kind of person, she didnt dare to say. But she suddenly realized that she didnt want Chen Sinan to interact with Sheng Wenyang at all. Although she knew nothing would happen between them, she was still unwilling. Xin Siyue smiled bitterly inside. When did her desire to possess Chen Sinan become so strong? Chen Sinan stood in front of the bed, looking at the fragile Sheng Wenyang who blinked her eyes at him. Ill investigate the accident and Ill take care of all the expenses incurred during your recovery. He said while avoiding her eyes. A Nan As of Xin Siyue, she was also terrified. Well discuss about the specifics after youre fully recovered, or you can tell your assistant to negotiate with us. Sheng Wenyang suddenly cried. She crashed into me. Im the person on this bed. Why are you so quick to defend her? Why would she crash into you when she just arrived at Sheng Jin City? Sheng Wenyang, dont you think its too coincidental? I also want to know! Why am I the person lying here and not her! If shes the one lying here, I will compensate her all the money she wants and cover all her expenses without any complaints! But Chen Sinan, I suffered such a severe injury, do you not have any console for me? Go rest. Chen Sinan! Chen Sinan! Its not possible between the two of us. Stop persisting. If I find out that you want to harm her, I think I will make you die in a horrible way. Chen Sinan turned around and walked towards the door. But the harsh and cruel words were heard completely by Sheng Wenyang. She was half dead but he wouldnt give her words of pity or sympathy at all? Heh. Sheng Wenyang, do you know how pitiful you are right now? The next few days, Xin Siyue would visit her in the hospital everyday. However, Sheng Wenyang would close the door on her. Xin Siyue knew that she didnt want to see her so she stopped. Though Sheng Wenyang didnt want to see Xin Siyue, she ended up letting Weng Yinlin in when she visited two days later. Seeing that she recovered pretty good, Weng Yinlin directly said, If I were you, I would choose the wise path. Sheng Wenyang looked at her and didnt say anything. She felt hurt, however. Im my sons mother so I naturally know who he likes. Whatever he has decided on, besides him, no one else can change his decision. Rather than setting your eyes on my son, you might as well open yourself up to new possibilities. Heh, what a coincidence. I am just like your son. No one else can change my decision except for myself. Weng Yinlin laughed and said, Its because you guys are alike in many ways so you guys cant be together. With similar personalities, you guys are bound to fight one day. With different personalities, they can complement one another. Youre not suitable. Then Xin Siyue is suitable? More suitable than you. Then can you please leave? I dont like seeing you either. Im just advising you out of my kind heart. You cant intervene between him and Xin Siyue. You can take your time to think about this. Oh, right. Isnt Mo Familys grandson interested in you? I heard that the elders of Mo Family are anxious and introducing him many wealthy young ladies. Watermelon or sesame. You can decide which one you want. Sheng Wenyang was infuriated but theres nothing she could do. She didnt want to see anyone but Chen Sinan. But he never came. Now that Weng Yinlin reminded her, she suddenly remembered. Ever since she was in a car accident, Mo Bei never came to visit her. Could he really be busy with the blind dates? He didnt even have time for her? Thinking here, Sheng Wenyang felt a headache. Xin Siyue also had a headache. Jiang Lan agreed to the interview. She was busy proofreading the script. In actuality, she liked to improvise even more. So the content was mostly the questions they would be interviewing her on. But the main point was that she wasnt satisfied no matter what. Plus, she hadnt been sleeping well these few days. She seemed more anxious and irritated than usual. Xin Siyue and Gu Tong were chatting. When they spoke of this, Gu Tong said, Could it be the repercussions of the car accident? Xin Siyue felt helpless. Sister, I wasnt injured! Maybe youre heartbroken. What? Chapter 121 - Deep Hatred Ch.121 Deep Hatred You originally won your love rival and didnt feel guilty at all. Now that you crashed into your love rival and since she is laying in the hospital right now, you are scared that Chen Sinan might want to atone for your crimes or become softhearted. He might implicate himself with your love rival. Gu Tong analyzed clearly and logically, Youre distracted not because of work, but because of your minds thoughts. Xin Siyue was speechless. Lately, she was unwilling to see Chen Sinan because she didnt want to think of Sheng Wenyang. If she was the one laying in the hospital, maybe she wouldnt feel guilty. She laughed and said, Maybe youre right. Gu Tong happily said, Siyue, youve fallen in love. You really fell in love. Heh. Can she retrieve it back? Her heart. Because of the program, Xin Siyue returned to A City. She had a pretty good collaboration with Jiang Lan. But after the program ended, Jiang Lan wanted to eat out with her. She smiled and said, Hopefully the next time I see you will be on your wedding. Right, youll send me the wedding invitation right? Xin Siyue couldnt help but laugh, How do you want a single person like me to send you a wedding invitation? President Chen can send it too. Jiang Lan laughed and said. Xin Siyue could only laugh along. She thought: nothing has even happened between the two of them. Chen Sinan naturally detected Xin Siyue purposefully avoiding him. But because Sheng Wenyang just got into an accident, he thought that she needed time to adjust. At the same time, he was a bit angry that she wanted him to be with Sheng Wenyang at the hospital. There were many ways to compensate Sheng Wenyang but not this kind. She needed time and he was busy with work. Its better if the two of them took some time to calm down and think. On the other hand, after Sheng Wenyang stayed in the hospital for about ten days or so, an uninvited guest came Shi Shi. After Shi Shi came in the room, she observed her and said shockingly, I didnt think you would be in such serious conditions. Tsk, youre quite pitiful. What do you mean? Nothing. I just pity you. I dont need your pity. Shi Shi laughed and said, How good would it be if it was Xin Siyue in an accident? But, its not that good. The car accident couldnt take her life. If Xin Siyue cant die, then it is no fun. Sheng Wenyang heard this and was shocked. She investigated Xin Siyue before and knew that her change started after she fell down the stairs. Shi Shi was the one who had pushed her. She originally thought they just had a simple debate. Now that she looked at this, this wasnt that simple. Shi Shi wanted Xin Siyues life? What deep hatred do you hold against Xin Siyue? You actually wanted her to die? Sheng Wenyang looked at her in alarm. Shi Shi sweetly smiled and said, Can I not want her to die despite not having a deep hatred for her? If she doesnt die, how can you obtain Chen Sinan? Why do you want to help me? We dont know each other. Who said that? Shi Shi said, We are both on the same team. Once she dies, this story can finally return to its normal path. I hate how people criticize and try to change the world I created. Sheng Wenyang looked at her and was in deep thought. Shi Shi continued to say excitedly, Why dont I give you a nice suggestion? A suggestion where you can be free of worries forever and you wouldnt need to see the Xin Siyue you dislike anymore, but also able to obtain Chen Sinan forever? How does this sound? Are you moved? Sheng Wenyang felt a gust of cold breeze. She asked sternly, What do you want to do? Obviously something good. Cant you see that I am racking my brain and trying to help you? Shi Shi laughed and said, Do you want to hear this suggestion? Sheng Wenyang looked at the person in front of her. She felt like this person was a devil coming from hell. She shivered at this gloomy and strange aura. How did Xin Siyue land up with this enemy? Shouldnt the person asking to be blessed be Xin Siyue now? Xin Siyue who was in A City working didnt detect anything. After she was done with Jiang Lans interview, her boss introduced a new target for interview. They were also in the entertainment circle. However, this time, it was a Film Emperor who had received numerous titles. Right now, he was filming scenes in the mountain area and didnt have time. The program group decided to go over to interview him. It was a long drive there. When Xin Siyue followed the group over, who knew she wouldve gotten into an accident Chapter 122 - Danger (1) Besides the vast weeds in the overgrown countryside, no one was seen. But not far on the road near the weeds, Xin Siyue silently fell in her pool of blood. The white shirt was dyed red and she quietly laid in a pool of blood, shutting her eyes tightly. Her fingers slightly moved before it dropped. After Chen Sinan woke up shocked and full of sweat, he frantically found his phone and dialed Xin Siyue. He needed to promise her safety before he could temporarily be relieved. The phone rang for a long time but no one picked up. Chen Sinan massaged his temple in irritation and looked at the time; it was two in the morning so she must be asleep. Xin Siyue was woken up by the phone. She was lucky that her phone was turned to vibrate otherwise how embarrassing would it be if she woke up her colleagues? Maybe it was because Chen Sinan hadnt contacted her for a long time had called, she wondered why he called at this time. She was worried that something had happened so she went to the door to pick up the call. Whats the matter? Chen Sinan originally didnt hold hope that she would answer and wanted to hang up when she answered. Did you sleep yet? Xin Siyue wanted to worship him. Dont you know that theres a time difference between the two of us? Why dont you look at the time? At this time, if Im not sleeping, that would be unusual! After she spoke, she didnt hear anything from him. She asked, Is there a matter? If not, Im going to hang up. Im very tired and theres work tomorrow. Hearing that her tone was normal, Chen Sinan thought that nothing happened. He said, After Im done handling the work, I will go to A City to find you. Why are you going to A City? Xin Siyue blurted. Im not there! Chen Sinans tone changed. Where are you? Xin Siyue said the name of this remote mountain area. Then she said, We need to interview Film Emperor Yang for our next episode. He is shooting his movie here and cant make time out for us. So I came with the program group. After seeing the Film Emperor tomorrow, we will be officially recording the episode the day after. That remote place Chen Sinan almost immediately thought of his dream. He tried his best to keep his voice steady and reminded, Please remember to go with your colleagues. Dont get lost. Xin Siyue didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Im not a kid. If theres nothing else, Im going to hang up. Im very tired now. The next day Xin Siyue woke up, she only remembered picking up Chen Sinans call in the middle of the night. She couldnt recall what they talked about. Thinking that it might not be something important, she didnt try to remember. The hotel Xin Siyue and them lived in was a distance away from where Film Emperor Yang was filming. While heading over, because the road was overly narrow, they couldnt drive in the mountains. They had to get out of the car and walk over. Xin Siyue walked halfway and remembered that she left her phone in the car because she only remembered to take her folder. She thought about it and said to the Director, Sorry, Im going to go back to the car to grab my phone. Ill catch up to you guys immediately. Director was scared that she didnt know her surroundings that well so it wouldnt be too good to go by herself. He especially asked, Do you want me to have Xiao Huang come with you? Xin Siyue hurriedly said, No need, no need. Ill come back instantly after taking my phone. Director didnt force her either. He admired how independent Xin Siyue was. He was irritated with how the female colleagues and celebrities that he had worked with in the past had ordered people to do their work for them. Xin Siyue went back herself and seeing how quiet her surroundings was, she felt uneasy because there was no one. She subconsciously quickened her pace. The cars of the crew were parked in order. She found her car and unlocked it. She reached and just got her phone when she heard the sound of glass breaking by her side. Xin Siyue was shocked and hurriedly turned around. But her neck felt the icy cold knife. Her face turned pale and she looked over to see four or five men wearing black coats looking sinisterly at her. They held iron sticks or sharp knives in their hands. Xin Siyues heart thumped violently. She seamlessly placed her phone towards her back and pressed 110. She never tried this before and couldnt promise that she will succeed. Plus, her only option right now was to calm down and stall the time. She wanted to gain as much time as possible for herself. Xin Siyue prayed in her heart that the colleagues in the program group will have someone come look for herself after realizing that she hadnt been back for a long time. Maybe she will have a chance to live. Xin Siyue looked at how unfriendly they were. Her instinct was that she was a goner. Chapter 123 - Danger (2) Suddenly, she recalled the nightmare she had. At that time, she was surrounded by a group of men wearing black as well. They slashed her time after time. She felt herself dying due to loss of blood but she couldnt do anything. That feeling of horror, fright, and helplessnessall surged her heart suddenly! Xin Siyue didnt dare to breathe heavily. She carefully glanced at the long knife which was about to sink into her skin. She tried her best to make her voice not tremble as much. Brother, who are you guys? If you guys want money, I can give it to you guys. Lets not resort to violence and weapons. Im scared. Humph. Youre quite soft-skinned. What a pity if we really slash your skin. Xin Siyue heard who the man who had the knife on her neck talked to her in such a rude way. She was frightened that they might rape and kill her. Her heart thumped quickly. Look at your face. Brother feels bad at looking at how pale your face is. Do you want brother to take care of you? Seeing how his hand was about to touch her face, Xin Siyue instinctively tilted her head to the side to avoid it. Then she felt a sting on her neck. A sticky feeling spread. She didnt have time to attend to how deep her wound was. She looked sharply at them and threatened harshly, I advise you guys to not touch me. Otherwise, my family wont let you guys go! Hah. well, I want to see what powers do you, a young girl, have. This is the wilderness and there are no security cameras. Even if we kill you and mutilate your body then throw it in a valley, who do you think can find you? Who would know that we had done this? After saying this, the man laughed presumptuously. Women from the city are stupid like this! Humph. You cannot run away from the law. Do you think that you guys can get away from your crimes in secret? I dont believe that this world doesnt have laws and order! Xin Siyue responded strictly. Youre right! That man took the knife and patted her face. He said in disdain, I am the law in this place! You dont accept this? Well hold it in! Brother, why are you talking nonsense to that woman? Quickly kill her so we can report back! Someone was rushing him. Brother, thats right! Im waiting for the money so I can do drugs! My addiction is taking over again! Xin Siyue understood the deeper meaning to their words. So they were taking peoples money and doing work for them? She hurriedly said, Before you guys kill me, shouldnt you guys let me die clearly? Who let you guys kill me? Heh. Ok. How do you not know who you had offended? Fine, Ill be kind and tell you. The person only said that their surname was Sheng. Its not convenient for us to tell you anything else! If you feel wronged, go tell Yama then! The man suddenly waved the knife and was about to slash her. She agily ducked and kicked his chest. That man didnt expect this so he stumbled back a step. He clutched his chest with one of his hand and said, Stupid slut. I didnt think you know some self-defense! Brothers! Go ahead! Beat her up! Xin Siyue was delicate and weak. How could she stand against them? She dodged a few times before she was at a disadvantage. She raised her hand up to block the mans punch. She felt like her hands were numb. She raised her leg and tried to kick the abominable man when he caught her leg and dragged her. Xin Siyue couldnt struggle free from him. She got dragged a few meters away. Her body rubbed against the rough pebbles and sand. Her back immediately burned with pain. Xin Siyue fell on the ground and the man immediately surrounded her. They kicked and punched her while they cursed. Xin Siyue covered her head with her hands. She felt her body aching. Stupid slut! You dare to kick me? Ill slash you to death! When Xin Siyue heard this, she opened her eyes in terror. She looked at the sharp knife which was about to land on her. She immediately rolled over, her back facing up. She tried her best to shrink herself into a ball. But the pain she imagined didnt come. Instead, she heard one of the insane rascals letting out a scream. After that, Xin Siyue felt a thick and broad chest hugging her. Then a groan above her head. She wanted to turn around to look at the mans face when she heard him say, Dont look. Close your eyes. Open them when I tell you to. Chen Sinan? Xin Siyue heard his voice and turned around shockingly. He faintly smiled at her. Her eyes suddenly teared up. Why are you Dont worry! Ill get rid of them! Xin Siyue choked with emotions and said, Be careful. I will be fine. The leader of the group saw a person had suddenly appeared. He yelled, Someone actually came. Are you not scared of death? Then you can die with her! Ill send you guys to heaven! Well, it depends if you guys have the ability to! Chen Sinan!! Chapter 124 - Danger (3) Chen Sinan was quite powerful, having being able to beat the men up despite enduring a slash on the back. Xin Siyue stood by the side and witnessed the entire disturbing battle. She felt as if her heart was clutched and she forgot how to breathe. When Chen Sinan knelt one knee on the ground and stopped moving for a while, she finally snapped. Chen Sinan! Chen Sinan felt lucky that he had chosen a dark green shirt. If he had worn white like usual, he wouldve definitely frightened her. Im fine. Chen Sinan fainted after saying this to her, however. Xin Siyue helped him up only to realize the stickiness behind his back. She was shocked. A terrible feeling rose in her heart as she looked at the red blood covering the palm of her hand. Her tears couldnt help but fall down her face. Chen Sinan, dont sleep. Chen Sinan, dont scare me! Chen Sinan, wake upsorry! Sorry! You became harmed because of me! In the original novel, he wouldnt have encountered this scene. He had endured this unnecessary trouble for her. Chen Sinan, Ill call someone to save you right now! Right now! Xin Siyue dialed 120 with trembling hands. When the other party picked up the call, she wanted to say something only to realize that she couldnt stop her tears and sobs. Is it 120? Come quickly. Someone is injured here. Were at Xin Siyue hung up only to realize her tear-stained face. Chen Sinan, nothing can happen to youSomeone! Someone please come! Help me! She cried uncontrollably. Nothing can happen to him! Nothing can happen to him! Nothing must happen to him! After Chen Sinan was brought on the ambulance, the doctor cut open his clothes in order to staunch the blood. Xin Siyue stared at the long slash wound. The wound was very deep and already badly mangled. They couldnt staunch the blood no matter what Xin Siyue was dizzy from looking at it He had protected her by blocking this slash for her. Right? He knew that if he did that, he would definitely suffer badly. But he still did so no matter what. He didnt even groan when he took this slash for her She covered her face and cried endlessly. At the hospital, she waited outside the operation room for half an hour. After she calmed down, she called Xin Qiancheng. Even though she told herself not to cry in her heart when she heard Xin Qianchengs voice and then recalled the life and death situation, she couldnt help but cry. Brother Hearing her tone, Xin Qiancheng detected something wrong. Whats the matter? Brother, Chen-Chen Sinan is in danger. Hes at the hospital now Dont panic. Tell me. Which hospital? Xin Siyue choke with sobs as she said the address. Xin Qiancheng hurriedly said, Im going there now. Dont be afraid. Nothing will happen to Chen Sinan. Before he headed out, he had his secretary call Chen Sinans assistant. Within a few minutes of him arriving at the hospital, Chen Sinans assistant arrived too. How is President Chen right now? Xin Siyue had been sitting by the bed and staring at Chen Sinan who was in a coma. She responded in a low voice, He is temporarily out of danger but hes just not awake yet. Xin Qiancheng stared at Chen Sinan then said, The conditions here are too crude. Lets observe him for a few hours. If hes still not awake, lets immediately transfer hospitals and go back to the city. Ok! Xin Siyue quickly nodded. After Chen An rushed over and saw this, after a few moments of silence and staring at Xin Siyue, he said, Transfer hospitals for him right now. Assistant Wang, contact Sheng Jin Citys doctor-in-charge. Ok! When Xin Siyue followed back, she seemed gloomy and down the entire time. After Xin Qiancheng got off the plane, he finally dared to ask her, What exactly happened? Xin Siyue looked out the window. After she explained everything that happened, she continued to say, If it werent for him, I would probably be a corpse right now. Brother, I brought harm to him. He didnt need to suffer from this unnecessary trouble! Chapter 125 - More than His Life Chapter 125 More than His Life If it werent for him, I would probably be a corpse right now. Brother, I brought harm to him. He didnt need to suffer from this unnecessary trouble! You dont need to overly blame yourself. Maybe this was meant to happen to him. No, no. He would be safe the whole time until the end. He didnt need to experience this! Since he would be safe until the end, then you should be more at ease. He will be fine. Xin Qiancheng wanted to speak then stopped again. He was unwilling to say that she was being overly worried. When Xin Siyue arrived at the hospital, she originally was scared that the elders of Chen Family would scold her, but Old Man Chen just stared meaningfully at her and didnt do anything else. Naturally, he didnt seem that enthusiastic about her. He ignored her presence the entire time. Xin Siyue sat alone in the hospitals corridors. She waited a few hours but still didnt see Chen Sinan waking up. Xin Jin and the rest of them arrived at the hospital. After chatting a bit with the elders of Chen Family, they looked at their daughter. He said in a deep voice, Even if you wait here, he wont wake up immediately. The doctor said that he is out of danger. He will wake up sooner or later. Siyue, dont worry. Let mother take you to check out your injury. Xin Siyue seemed to have forgotten how her body was full of injuries. When Xin Qiancheng advised her to check out her injuries, she was unwilling to leave Chen Sinan at all. Now that she saw that numerous people surrounded him, she seemed to be the one left out. She couldnt help but to raise her head. She stared at Bai Ning in persistence. Mother, when he wakes up, I want to be with him, ok? Bai Ning suddenly froze. Then she turned around to look at Xin Jin. His face became gloomy but he said, You can do whatever you want. No matter what your decision is, as long as you think youre right, your mother and I will support you. Father, mother, but Im afraid Xin Siyues eyes turned red. Im scared that after I changed the ending, he or I or you guys will experience unnecessary trouble Foolish child. Life is determined by fate. If we live with a frank and open mind but still cant avoid the calamity, theres nothing wrong with it. In the end, its all fate. Just like you. Its fate how you came to our side. Bai Ning said this and faintly smiled. There was happiness and sorrow in her smile. Xin Siyues eyes flickered and her voice trembled. Father, mother, you guys We all know. So, child, blessings and calamities come together. It had been like this since ancient times. Since we cant avoid this, let us enjoy the blessings. If you really like him, fight for him. Leave whatever you need to face in the future for the future you. Xin Siyue was very touched by Bai Nings words. Thank you mother and father. Chen Sinan was unconscious for an entire day and night. He didnt wake up until the next morning. He gradually woke up and wanted to turn his body over before he felt the intense pain on his back. When Chen An saw this, he hurriedly said, Dont do this to yourself. Lay on your stomach. Chen Sinan tried his best to move his body up. He asked, Father, why are you here? How could I not be here when you injured yourself like this? Chen Sinan thought about what happened and couldnt help but raise his voice. He asked, What about her? Is she ok? Where is she now? Is she more important than your life? Chen An was unhappy. More important. He responded. Chen Ans face turned gloomy. I really cant see anything good about her that makes you Everything is good about her. Chen Sinan hastily asked, Father, is she ok? You just need to take care of yourself. Chapter 126 - He’s Mine Ch.126 Hes Mine Chen Sinan was worried still. After Chen An left, he sent her a message and asked how her injury was. Xin Siyue almost immediately rushed towards the hospital after seeing the message. She tried her best to calm down her erratic breathing when she stood in front of his room. There was only one thought in her mind. He woke up safe and sound. Hes awake! Xin Siyue stood there for a long time. When she prepared to knock on the door, she heard a voice not far from here. Is his room in the front? Are you sure you remembered it correctly? Boss, Im sure. President Chens room is in the front. Then quickly! After Sheng Wenyang said this, she continued to walk. She saw the faint figure standing in the empty corridor was Xin Siyue. Sheng Wenyang stopped and looked darkly at her. Xin Siyue stared right back. The two made no movements. In the end, Sheng Wenyang walked towards her. Xin Siyue placed her hand down and turned around to look at her. Sheng Wenyang crossed her chest with her hands and glanced. She asked, You still have the guts to come? Why wouldnt I? Sheng Wenyang, I should be asking you this. Xin Siyue, do you need me to remind you who A-Nan took the slash for? Since you know who he took the slash for, you should know whos more important to him. Sheng Wenyang, leave him alone! What right do you have to order me? Sheng Wenyang coldly humphed. Just because he likes me. Because I want to be with him forever. Sheng Wenyang, I dont want to give Chen Sinan to you anymore. From now on, he is mine. Xin Siyue looked at her and said each word with strength. Sheng Wenyang was shocked by her imposing manner. Right after, she reported, You think that he will accept your decisions? Xin Siyue, youre too confident in yourself. If Im not confident, how could I be with him? I forgot to tell you. When we were in danger, the opponents just wanted to kill us. They told me that they were doing this for a woman with surname Sheng. I am curious what this woman has to do with you. Xin Siyue said and then continued, He was present at the time so he heard it clearly as well. Miss Sheng, do you still want to see him now? Sheng Wenyangs face changed and she collapsed a bit, leaning against the wall. She was speechless for a moment. Xin Siyue didnt even spare her a look before she opened the door and walked in. She originally thought that Sheng Wenyang wouldnt have done this because based on her impression of her, she wouldnt do something so heartless. But looking at her expression, she seemed to know something about it. Xin Siyue knitted her eyebrows. Who was the one controlling this? After hearing the door open, Sheng Wenyangs face turned horrible. She hurriedly walked off, wanting only to find Shi Shi as quickly as she could! She originally thought that Chen Sinan had accidentally gotten injured because Xin Siyue had went to that remote and desolate place. That didnt seem to be the case! Who wanted to kill them? Sheng Wenyang thought of Shi Shi in the first moment. She had given her a suggestion but she didnt take it. So she decided to do it on her own? And that quick? Sheng Wenyang felt her blood running cold! She couldnt help but concede defeat against how vicious and merciless she was! After Xin Siyue closed the door and saw that Sheng Wenyang didnt cause her racket, she couldnt help but lean against the door and sighed. Then she looked at the room and jumped! Why are there so many people in the room?! Besides Chen Sinan sitting on the bed, there were Old Man Chen, Chen An, Weng Yinlin, Mao Shiyuan, and Ji Yi were all there. There were a few unfamiliar men too While Xin Siyue were shocked, she suddenly met Chen Sinans smiling eyes. Then she suddenly thought of an utterly important question. Did they hear everything that she said? Its best if they didnt. But if they did, then she Xin Siyue suddenly frozedid she need to be so embarrassing? Chapter 127 - I Finally Have You (1) Unsure how much they heard, Xin Siyue had no idea what to do. Chen Sinan reached for her and said, Why arent you coming over? Xin Siyue walked over at a normal pace. Every step she walked, she wanted to cry out in her heart: they mustve heard it! Why else was everyone laughing at her?! Seeing how she walked in nervously like a shy wife, Chen Sinan teased, Werent you quite bold in claiming your possession over me by the door? Xin Siyue stared at him in shock ash she looked at his smiling eyes. Of course! Of course! Shut up! Xin Siyue didnt think and ordered him. Seeing how embarrassed she was, Chen Sinan laughed and said, It wont help even if I shut up. After all, everyone has heard already. He continued to say, I have so many witnesses here. You cant escape this time. Xin Siyue mumbled. Who said that I was going to escape? Hearing how she admitted to him, Chen Sinan was so happy that he wanted to bring her in his arms. But seeing how many people were in the way and present, he held back the urge. Old Man Chen said in an unfriendly tone, Since youre ok, stay like that. Chen Sinan was in a good mood and was too lazy to argue. Old man, I didnt even give you a grandson yet. How could I let anything happen to me? When he finished, he especially asked Xin Siyue, Right? Xin Siyue secretly rolled her eyes. What do you mean by right?! Chen An and Weng Yinlin looked at each other, not having any opinions. When Xin Siyue brought the three elders out in place of Chen Sinan, she bowed at them. She said apologetically, Grandfather Chen, Aunt, and Uncle, sorry! The three gave each other a look. Then Weng Yinlin said, As parents, we will naturally be concerned with our child being injured, but we also know his personality. He will do everything he can to get what he wants, and he wont let someone he treasures be hurt in any way at all. You two have experienced a lot. We are happy that you two are able to be together now. Regarding this matter, let time do its magic. You dont need to blame yourself too much. Xin Siyue felt her throat choking up with emotions. In the end, she could only thank them, Thank you! Thank you! Chen Sinan noticed that she was feeling kind of down upon returning. Just when he was about to ask her about it, he heard Zhuang Zu say, Sister-in-law, youre really my idol! What? Who is this? Xin Siyue looked at Chen Sinan. Before he could respond, Zhuang Zhu responded, Sister-in-law, Im Zhuang Zhu! A-Nans best friend! Hello. Xin Siyue nodded and greeted. Zhuang Zhu wanted to say something else when Chen Sinan wanted to drive him out. Can you stop saying nonsense? Zhuang Zhu then realized that Chen Sinan was referring to him. Mao Shiyuan smiled and placed his hand on Zhuang Zhus shoulders. Lets go quickly! Being lightbulbs, we are too bright and eye-catching, thus getting in the way of President Chen! It was rare for Zhuang Zhu to have the chance to see Xin Siyue. He didnt even get to tease them so how could he bear to leave? In the end, Mao Shiyuan and Ji Yi had to combine their strengths in order to take Zhuang Zhu out of the room. The others who Xin Siyue didnt know left as well. There were only Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue in the vast room now. Xin Siyue slightly shifted her gaze, not daring to look straight at him. Chen Sinan smiled and observed her for a while. Then he gradually spoke, Come over and let me hug you. Xin Siyue turned around and looked at him. Then she quickened her pace and threw herself in his arms. She was worried that it might hurt the wound on his back so she tightly wrapped her arms around his neck. Chen Sinan embraced her and buried his head in her shoulders, taking in her faint fragrance. He smiled and said, After suffering numerous hardships, I finally have you! Chapter 128 - I Finally Have You (2) Chen Sinan embraced her and buried his head in her shoulders, taking in her faint fragrance. He smiled and said, After suffering numerous hardships, I finally have you! Xin Siyue left his arms and looked at him. She said, Can you not be so locaquious now? Chen Sinan replied, If Im not talkative now, when should I be? Honey, do you know that when you said you were mine, I When Chen Sinan stopped in the middle of his words, she clearly probed, What? Hm, I was very happy. Xin Siyue pursed her lips and said, Of course youre happy! Chen Sinan, if you dare not to care about your life next time, I will definitely split up with you. Dont worry. There wont be a next time! I wont let you be in danger again. Xin Siyue just smiled. Then she asked, Hows your wound? It hurts a lot. Chen Sinan said and knitted his eyebrows. Did you tug on your wound? Xin Siyue asked nervously. Sit properly. Dont hug me anymore. Let me take a look. I wont let you go. Chen Sinan tightened his grip on her. He smiled and said, I will only be better if I get to keep hugging you! How could Xin Siyue not know that he was being shameless? You will have time in the future. Do you have to feel that hurried? The future is the future. The present is the present. How could you mix them together? Xin Siyue couldnt help but laugh. Then she teased him, Arent you angry that I drove away the girls? Chen Sinan knew that she was talking about Sheng Wenyang. He smiled and answered, Youre better than the rest. I like you more. Xin Siyue didnt know how to respond to his smooth words. Oh, if you regret this and blame me in the future, then what happens? Chen Sinan didnt think before responding, Dont worry. I will never regret something that I set my mind to. When he finished, he continued, You just need to take care of yourself. I already have someone investigating this. Let me handle this. My brother did too. Yes, I know. Xin Siyue thought about it and asked, Do you believe that Sheng Wenyang had done this? Chen Sinan became silent then replied reasonably, I only believe in evidence. After Xin Siyue spent the morning in the hospital, she went to tell Gu Tong and Zhong Qin that she wasnt single now when she returned home in the afternoon. Zhong Qin laughed and said, You guys finally got together after all these hardships. But the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks. It is really nice how you guys got together! You have to treasure this! Yes, I will. However, Gu Tong started to turn over old accounts and said, When I first saw you guys, I knew that there wasnt anything pure between you guys. But you wouldnt admit it, saying that you had no relations with him. When Chen Sinans press conference had come out, I made a bet with myself that you will definitely be with him! How does it seem like now? I won the bet! Xin Siyue smiled and said, You bet with yourself? What do you get for winning? A very nice reward! Gu Tong smiled and said, If I win, I will pursue Xia Qiao! Xin Siyue was confused and asked, What does this have to do with whether I am with Chen Sinan or not? Im too lazy to tell you! Gu Tong said, Well, thats the case. Ill reserve the position for you as the bridesmaid. Remember that your evening gown needs to be the prettiest! Xin Siyue was straightforward and said, Ok. After Gu Tong hung up, she called Xia Qiao. Did you board the plane? Xia Qiao answered honestly. No. After he finished, he immediately reacted. He asked anxiously, Did something happen to Siyue? Gu Tong responded, Yes, something happened. Something big but its something good! She purposefully paused after saying this. After a while, she responded, She just called me to say that she accepted Chen Sinan. The two harmoniously became a couple. Chapter 129 - I Finally Have You (3) Ch.129 I Finally Have You (3) Gu Tong intentionally emphasized harmoniously became a couple. For a while, Xia Qiao had not responded. Then she continued, Siyue said that she will be busy taking care of Chen Sinan in the hospital lately, so she wont be back until later. Xia Qiao still didnt reply. Gu Tong continued again, Xia Qiao, if I were you, I wouldnt go to Sheng Jin City anymore. Gu Tong finished her words and before hanging up, she heard him say, Thank you, I know. Whether he went to find Xin Siyue in Sheng Jin City or not, she had no idea. But around eight at night, she received Xia Qiaos call. He asked if she wanted a drink with him and she naturally agreed. But because they were both public figures, they didnt dare to go to bars and places like that. Xia Qiao bought many beers and red wine. When Gu Tong arrived, she saw two or three empty bottles on the table. She silently sighed and sat down. She casually opened the beer bottle and fiercely gulped. Better to get the pain over with. Xia Qiao sneered. You could tell that I have feelings for her? Yes, since an early time from now. When we were in school. Gu Tong didnt conceal this. What a pity that she pretended to be oblivious and you werent willing to confess to her. So I had given someone else a chance because of this? Gu Tong sipped beer and pondered over it before saying, I dont think you should say this. Who would tell anything with love? We could only say that it was the right time. She met him first and was in love with him at first sight. Xia Qiao said helplessly, Youre right. Chen Sinan always had this ability. Gu Tong comforted, So why must you make it difficult for yourself? Youre very outstanding too. There are many people who like you No. Xia Qiao waved his hands and said, Let me think clearly. Gu Tong exposed him mercilessly. When you think clearly, there are only two results. You either let go so that you can be free or keep on holding on, putting both sides in a difficult position. But, Xia Qiao, I think that if you like someone, you should think for them, like me Xia Qiao shook his head. I understand but its very difficult for me to take her out of my heart. I need time. Hm, ok. I will wait for you. Gu Tong looked at her and silently drank the beer. She felt relieved. Xin Siyue who had no idea that Xia Qiao had the thought of visiting Sheng Jin City was preparing to bring the thermos bottle upstairs to Chen Sinan. But she was blocked by Sheng Wenyang who was in the hospital lobby. Lets chat. Xin Siyue was unwilling to. What is there to chat about between us? The truth. Dont you want to know? Xin Siyue suddenly thought about it then asked, Since its the truth and Chen Sinan is also the victim, why wont you tell the truth in front of him? Sheng Wenyang was silent for a bit. She didnt want to see Chen Sinan because she was scared of seeing Chen Sinans look of disgust. He definitely misunderstood her and believed that she had found someone to hurt and kill Xin Siyue. She wanted to see him but didnt want him to misunderstand, saying merciless words. She was scared that he will hurt her more than she did to him. The only person she could find was Xin Siyue. Shen Wenyang said with persistence, I didnt do that. Who is it then? I temporarily cant tell you who the person is. Xin Siyue laughed and said, If you cant tell me, why bother telling me the truth? Sheng Wenyang, how can I believe you when you wont tell me everything? Whether you believe me or not is up to you. Xin Siyue, dont blame me for not reminding. Not every one of your enemies would be as calm as me. Xin Siyue watched as Sheng Wenyang left after saying this. She was in deep thought. Just who was behind this? Chapter 130 - Intimate (1) Ch.130 Intimate (1) While Chen Sinan was recovering from his injury, Xin Siyue almost appeared in the hospital everyday. Sometimes, she stayed until midnight and Chen Sinan had a driver send her back. Xin Qiancheng was against this. He was done settling down a contract and headed for the hospital since it was along the way. The moment he opened the door, he saw his sister lowering her head and meticulously peeling an apple with a knife for Chen Sinan. Meanwhile, he sat by the bed and deeply smiled while looking at her. Cough, cough. Xin Qiancheng hinted the two before pushing the door in. Xin Sinan turned around to see it was Xin Qiancheng. She was a bit surprised and said, Brother, why are you here? Xin Qiancheng said nothing but glanced at Chen Sinan. I came to see how seriously injured he is for you to wake up early in the morning and going to sleep late at night in order to take care of him. Xin Siyue really had been waking up early to cook different types of soup for Chen Sinan. After he had her soup, he felt like the soup brought over by Chen Family wasnt to his taste anymore. All he could think about was drinking the soup she personally made for him. Seeing that he enjoyed it, Xin Siyue didnt decline. She went along his wishes. Not just soup, but Xin Siyue satisfied a lot of his desires. For example: He wanted to eat an apple. Without another word, she started to peel an apple with a knife for him. For example: He wanted to take a stroll outside. Xin Siyue pushed him outside to bask in the sunlight. For example: He must handle a document in his company but his head hurts while looking over it. He wanted her to read it for him. Xin Siyue was easy to consult and she read the dry and dull words for him. The more Chen Sinan listened to her, the more addicted he was to her voice. He would throw her several documents to read every day. Seeing that he was a patient, Xin Siyue didnt argue with him. So when she heard Xin Qianchengs words, she said, Brother, I dont wake up that early! Xin Qiancheng glared at her and replied, Well, youre not embarrassed to say that. Xin Siyue moved her lips but didnt dare to retort, probably because it seemed like she was on Chen Sinans side more than his. Xin Qiancheng couldnt take this anymore. How could Chen Sinan allow Xin Qiancheng to bully his wife? He lazily said, Brother-in-Law, Yueer is just concerned for me. Dont worry. I wont make her exhausted. Towards his intimate addresses, Xin Siyue didnt find it strange. Lately, Chen Sinan had been calling her these names in private and frequently. However, Xin Qianchengs face became black as charcoal Yueer! So intimate! Chen Sinan, you did this on purpose! And Brother-in-Law?! Who wants to be your Brother-in-Law?! Xin Qiancheng didnt bother to look at Chen Sinan. He said to Xin Siyue, Arent you flying back to A City tomorrow morning? Go pack up and leave with me later. Xin Siyue stared at Chen Sinan and hesitated for a while. Brother, its still early and I dont have anything to pack. Theres still some time left even if I go back later. You Xin Qiancheng was angered by her. Theyre not even married yet. How would others view them when they see them stuck together like glue?! Step out of the room first. I have some business to discuss with him. Xin Siyue asked in surprise, What sort of business is this, that even I cant listen to? Yes, you cant. Go out first. Oh. Xin Siyue replied and said to Chen Sinan, Ill peel a pear for you later. Ok! Chen Sinan agreed, in pride. Seeing how he took bites from the apple every now and then, he said in a gloomy voice, Im only going to say this once. Although the elders of the families dont have any objections, this didnt mean I agree to your relationship. Chen Sinan replied nonchalantly, President Xin, do you think I care about your opinion? Even if you dont care, itll be rare for you to see a smile from me. Chen Sinan didnt care at all. Whatever. As long as I can marry President Xins precious sister, right? He purposefully said, Once I have my wife, why would I even care for the hardships? Yet Xin Qiancheng dampened his happiness. President Chen, get rid of the young ladies by your side first. Then we can talk about marriage. What? If shes in trouble because of you again in the future, despite how deeply in love you guys are, I will do my best to separate the two of you guys. Chen Sinan deepened his gaze. Did Xin Qiancheng find something? After he left, Chen Sinan gave Assistant Wang a call. He just got off the call when Xin Siyue walked in. When my brother left, why do I feel like he was angry? Did you guys fight again? Chen Sinan gestured for her to come closer. Once he held her in his arms, he smiled and said, Do you think I have so much free time to bicker with him? Xin Siyue raised her head from his arms and smiled. I think you do. Seeing how she smiled happily as if she had her way, Chen Sinan was touched by her. He lowered his head to kiss her. Xin Siyue lifted her head to take in this gentle to passionate kiss. When she felt a soreness in her neck and wanted to shift her head, Chen Sinan pressed the back of her head against him. Xin Siyue wanted to struggle but feared worsening his injury. She hesitated before allowing him to take advantage of her. Chapter 131 - Intimate (2) Ch.131 Intimate (2) When he let her go, not only did Xin Siyue breathe heavily, but she felt a numbness and soreness in her lips and tongue. She lifted her hand to punch his chest. You wanted to eat me, huh? Whyd you kiss me so hard? She said this unintentionally but he thought there was more to it. I do want to eat you. When can I? Why dont you give me an answer? He was teasing her in public Xin Siyues originally red cheeks burned even more now. Shut up! Ok, its not hard to make me shut up. You can make me shut up like this. As he said this, Chen Sinan attacked her lips again. When she detected him playing with her tongue, she found a phrase that described him: Pervert! He took advantage of her time after time. Xin Siyue used her phone to observe her bright red lips. Peoples imaginations run wild from looking at her. She couldnt help but glare at the person besides her. Youre still in the middle of recovering. Can you behave yourself? Chen Sinan said innocently, Theres no one else in the world who is as well-behaved as me. Every day, he was eager for her and it didnt help that she was always in his line of sight. At most, he could only hug her. It was the first time he had kissed her after they were together even. If he didnt kiss her some more, it wouldve been his loss. Why would Xin Siyue care about his resentful tone? She said, I dont care. I have to go out and meet others so you have to control yourself in the future. Chen Sinan remained silent for a bit before he said, Ill try. He decided to change the topic. Youre going back tomorrow morning? Xin Siyue nodded. I requested time off for a long time now. I have to go back. Ok. Chen Sinan became silent after this. Xin Siyue raised her head to observe his expression. He was indeed quite unhappy but not angry. She smiled and threw herself in his arms, saying, When I have time, Ill fly back to vist you. Id rather not. Concentrate on your work while I concentrate on recovering. When I recover, Ill come over to visit. Xin Siyue thought about it and asked, What if you miss me or I miss you? What do we do then? Chen Sinan cupped her face and harshly kissed her. He gloomily said, Hold it in! Xin Siyue burst into laughter at his expression. After she uncontrollably laughed a bit, Chen Sinan pinched her cheeks and scolded, What an ungrateful girl! Humph! Xin Siyue proudly humped Im not going to argue with you! After Xin Siyue returned, she went back to work. But she took three calls during fixed periods during the day. She just had two bites of lunch when Chen Sinan called her to check up. Did you eat yet? Im eating right now. She listened to him about what he had for lunch before she did the same. While Chen Sinan listened to the dishes she listed, he wanted her to eat more and eat food with more nutrition, with a meaningful and sincere tone. I know, President Chen. Just rest and take care of yourself. I can take care of myself. Im an adult, after all. Xin Siyue beamed with a smile when she heard Chen Sinans reply. She casually said, Im going to eat now. Ill call you back later. Xia Qiao stood behind him and watched the smile on her face lasting long after the call. He was about to step closer to her when he decided to leave in the opposite direction. He walked towards a desk in another corner. When Chen Sinan recovered halfway, he left the hospital as expected. He returned to the residence and then paid a visit to Xin Familys two elders, not afraid of tormenting himself with the work. Xin Siyue received Bai Nings call around evening. When she found out Chen Sinan had visited her family, she hurriedly called him. Why did you leave the hospital and going to all sorts of places? Chen Sinan smiled and replied, I didnt. Its better to pay a visit to my soon to be Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law early on than later on. Xin Siyue was speechless. Someone please tell her what she could say! After Xin Siyue hung up, she really thought that this man moved quickly! She wouldnt be able to match his speed in being used to his role! Xin Siyue hurriedly finished dealing with the work in her hands so that she could make time to fly to Sheng Jin City. Who knew that her plan didnt come true since Chen Sinan directly flew to A City the third day he was out of the hospital. He noiselessly gave her a surprise. This night, she got off work around 10pm. She returned to her home and noticed something strange the moment she opened the door. Why were the lights on? Xin Siyue was shocked. Then she suddenly thought of the second person besides her who had the keys to the house! She didnt even have time to take off her heels when she hurriedly ran towards the living room after throwing her bag on the sofa. Who knew that she wouldve met Chen Sinan who was walking out of the kitchen. Chen Sinan wore a black coat and held a steaming bowl of noodles in his hands. Xin Siyue stopped her urge of hugging him. She stood in front of him and asked, Why are you here? Why do you think? Chen Sinan placed the bowl on the table. He just turned around when she wrapped her hands around his neck. She smiled delightfully and said, I know. You must be missing me! Chapter 132 - Intimate (3) Ch.132 Intimate (3) I know. You must be missing me! Chen Sinan encircled her waist with one hand and smiled at her. I didnt think you were that shameless before. You dont like it? Xin Siyue hugged him and stepped on her tippy toes, saying this in his ears. The warm linger of breath made Chen Sinans body tremble. The two hadnt seen each other for a while. Now that she gently laid in his arms, Chen Sinan was too lazy to control his urge. He raised her chin and stared at her flickering eyes. He lowered his head and firmly kissed her. Tongues danced with each other and Xin Siyue didnt evade his touch. Instead, she tried to meet the same level as passion as him. In the end, Chen Sinan was worried that this might go out of hand so he forcibly stopped himself from kissing her addicting lips. While they were panting, his fingers caressed her bright red and moist lips. He said with a hoarse voice, Youre gorgeous. Xin Siyue felt the sight in front of her was blurry. She stared at him dizzily. Chen Sinan gulped and kissed her again. When Xin Siyue finally had time to eat the noodles, she felt her lips were still numb. She had a bite then complained, Can you kiss me softly in the future? This question Chen Sinan looked at her calmly and corrected, I am a normal man. I didnt say you werent What? Xin Siyue welcomed his observing gaze and blushed. She hurriedly stopped this topic. She strangely thought: why is she thinking about scenes unsuitable for children when they were talking about this?! Xin Siyue buried herself in the noodles in order to conceal her wild imagination. When she finished, Chen Sinan asked to wash the dishes and wanted her to shower. Xin Siyue was pleased with this decision. She hummed a song while walking to the bedroom. Once she was done with shower, she just realized that he entered the bathroom as well. Right now, he was sitting by the bed with his legs crossed and looking at the poetry entries by the bedside. Chen Sinan looked towards the bathroom door when he heard the sound of the door opening. She just finished showering and pulled her hair up in a ponytail, wearing pink fluffy pajamas. She covered herself completely. Chen Sinan smiled meaningfully and asked, Are you scared of me doing something inappropriate to you? What? Seeing that his gaze was on her pajamas, she knew that he misunderstood. She hurriedly explained, No, no. Evenings in A City are very cold. Even with the heater on, Im still very cold. So Im just used to wearing warm clothes before sleeping. Chen Sinan knitted his eyebrows and asked, Fear the cold? Yup. Xin Siyue thought it may be a genetic problem. Despite how much she trained her body and drank Chinese medicine in order to recuperate, the result wasnt as effective. Chen Sinan waved her over. Xin Siyue buried herself in his arms and took in his warmth. She was very comfortable and asked him, How long will you be in A City for? How long do you want me to stay for? Chen Sinan threw the question back at her. Xin Siyue knitted her eyebrows and thought seriously. She responded, Hm What? I dont know how to explain. Xin Siyue smiled and kissed his chin. Lets live in the moment. Oh? Chen Sinan smiled and said, Then shouldnt I do something in order to make the most out of this evening and rare chance? Xin Siyue hurriedly let go of him. Dont try to do anything. What are you going to do if I mess around? Ah, let me go. Stop messing with me, stop messing. I didnt even get to see your wound. Let me see it. Chen Sinan pressed her down and looked at her blushing face. Theres nothing to see. I want to see. Unable to change her mind, Chen Sinan took off his shirt. When Xin Siyue saw the long zigzag but sinister wound on his back, she couldnt help but caress it. Does it still hurt? Chen Sinan turned around to see her eyes turning slightly red. He hurriedly responded, When I was injured at that time, it didnt hurt. It doesnt hurt now either. It had mostly recovered already. Xin Siyue burst into laughter and said, Chen Sinan, you really think youre made from metal? He even believes that hes invulnerable and untouchable! Even if Im not made from metal, I think Im about to be an immortal. Looking at his deep gaze, Xin Siyue understood the meaning of his words. She secretly said: hopefully she was overthinking. During the evening, Chen Sinan who had mysophobia persisted and refused to sleeping in the guest room. Besides the fact no one had cleaned the room, Xin Qiancheng had lived there before. Xin Siyue couldnt understand him. You cant live there because my brother lived there? No. Chen Sinan, dont you think youre immature? Chen Sinan had a gloomy face. Xin Siyue continued to tease him, not afraid of the consequences. Sometimes, I think you and my brother are more of a couple than us. You guys like to fight and bicker, but if you guys are together, whos on top and whos on bottom Xin Siyue who rambled on and talked nonsense was pressed under Chen Sinan. After bullying her to the point of tears and her begging for mercy, Chen Sinan said in a cool tone, Even if Im on top, you are my only target. Xin Siyue who was still panting was speechless. Hm, she wouldnt dare to fantasize about him and other people in the future anymore, ok? Chapter 133 - Intimate (4) Ch.133 Intimate (4) That night, Chen Sinan forcibly allowed himself to sleep in the main bedroom with her, disregarding protests. The next day Xin Siyue woke up, she returned around to see Chen Sinans handsome face not even a few centimeters from her. She couldnt help but immerse herself in his looks. When it seemed like he was about to wake up, she got out of bed to rinse. Xin Siyue had to go to work. After Chen Sinan dropped her off at the TV Station, he asked her out for lunch. Xin Siyue naturally agreed. After telling him when she approximately would get off work, she smiled and waved him goodbye. She was in a beautiful mood because of this. When she got off work in the evening, Chen Sinan specially went to pick her up. Halfway, the two decided to shop for groceries to cook dinner. Xin Siyue asked him. What do you like to eat? Chen Sinan asked, What do you like? Xin Siyue casually said a few of her all time favorite dishes. Chen Sinan nodded. Then Ill cook these dishes tonight for now. He then lowered his head and concentrated on choosing the ingredients. Xin Siyue was flabbergasted. Did that mean he was going to cook tonight? Xin Siyue was a bit excited in her heart. She held onto his arm and smiled. I didnt know you knew how to cook! Chen Sinan was proud when she mentioned this. Earning money cant even stump me. Why do you think buying things will? Xin Siyue smiled even more sweetly. He was Chen Sinan who was graceful at work and diligent in the kitchen! Of course, Xin Siyue had too many expectations. Looking at the normal dishes, Xin Siyue tasted it. Although it wasnt unpalatable, it wasnt as great as her cooking. But, she witnessed his step by step process of cooking personally. Accordingly, Chen Sinan was above average for displaying this result from his first time in cooking. How is it? Seeing that she was biting her chopsticks and deep in thought, he couldnt help but ask. Xin Siyue said truthfully, There is a lot of room for improvement. Chen Sinan rolled his eyes at her. He would only drop his honor for her. Yet, she disliked his cooking! Four days after Chen Sinan lived in A City, because of important matters in the company, he had no choice but to leave. After Xin Siyue received his call, although she was in a mellow mood, she quickly recovered. Ok, take care of yourself. Chen Sinan laughed and asked back, I realize that ever since were together, youre especially worried for my body. How about we find a time to test this so you would stop worrying? Once Xin Siyue heard this, her face turned red immediately. Who cares?! Goodbye! She hurriedly hung up on him. Chen Sinan took her kindness for granted! She was worried about his wound, not his body! Because the two worked in different places, they saw each other up to four or five times a month only. Although they wished to see one another at times, they placed work as their priority and controlled their urges. When it was near Chinese New Year, Xin Siyue started to go on break. When she arrived in Sheng Jin City, it was already the 28th of december. Xin Siyues luggage was simple. She only had a black backpack. But when she came out of their airport, it was coincidentally pouring in the city. The pouring rain in this icy cold weather made the surroundings look bizarre. She didnt bring an umbrella. She originally wanted to hail a taxi when the rain got smaller but she suddenly saw Chen Sinan and Mao Shiyuan walking over shoulder to shoulder, not far from here. Mao Shiyuan was confused why Chen Sinan suddenly stopped. He instinctively looked at him and realized that he was gazing in a direction through his sunglasses. Mao Shiyuan looked in his direction and surprisingly noticed. Hey, Xin Siyue! Almost immediately after he said this, he looked at Chen Sinan. He smiled happily and said, No wonder you wanted to rush back here no matter what. It seems like you have a date with her! Chen Sinan originally just wanted to try their luck. If he had good luck, their planes mightve arrived at the same time. It seems like that was really the case. Xin Siyue was incredibly surprised too. They could even meet under these circumstances? She couldnt attend to Mao Shiyuan. She said to Chen Sinan, Didnt you say you wont be back until the afternoon? There was a collaboration in Chen Sinans company. He went abroad to settle the matter for numerous days already. Yes, I came back yesterday night. He patted her head and continued, Ill bring you back. Ok! Xin Siyue had been waiting for this. Mao Shiyuan left discreetly after hearing this. Its better if he wisely avoided them so that they wont torture a single person like him with PDA. Chen Sinan didnt bring an umbrella either. Despite him taking off his jacket and covering her, she was still wet. Seeing that her shoulders were wet, Chen Sinan said, Ill bring you home so you can take a shower first. Xin Siyue didnt think much about it. She originally was going to tell Chen Sinan that she was going home after getting in the car. But when the car stopped under his neighborhood, she was confused. Why are we here? Chen Sinan who was unbuckling his seatbelt indicated her wet clothes. Change first then we can go back. Xin Siyue was dumbstruckShe didnt bring any clothes in her backpack! Chapter 134 - He Wants to Live With Her? (1) Ch.134 He Wants to Live With Her? (1) Xin Siyue felt like there was something behind Chen Sinans actions. Before she could think too much about it, she followed him up the stairs in a daze. When he unlocked the door, Xin Siyue just realized. Could it be because he hadnt seen her for a long time so he couldnt bear to let her go back? The moment this idea flashed by her head, the door opened. After Chen Sinan took a few steps in, he looked deeply at her for two to three seconds. She was about to talk when Chen Sinan pulled her in the house. Xin Siyue made a single noise when she suddenly realized that she was pressed against the wall. He held her waist with one hand and her thigh with the other, making her wrap her legs around his waist. He lowered his head and kissed her without a single care in the world. It felt like he was about to tear her apart and swallow her. Xin Siyue raised her head to take in his deep kiss. Until she felt difficulty with breathing and her left leg also felt numb, she then punched his chest lightly. She protested incoherently. Chen Sinan stopped unwillingly, seeing her red face. While Xin Siyue was panting, she felt his hand on her thigh still. She struggled and wanted to get off him, but Chen Sinan didnt let go. She softly said, My leg is sore. Chen Sinan carried her to a sofa after hearing this. The black sofa in his house was huge and had a lot of space. After Xin Siyue sat down, she couldnt help but to lay back and then roll a few times. But for her reputation, she held it in. Her legs were numb and she trembled. She looked up to see Chen Sinan staring at her. She moved back, feeling guilty. She asked, Why did you want me here? To change clothes. Chen Sinan said while taking off her white coat for her. Xin Siyue wanted to stop him but he was too quick. She hurriedly said, I didnt bring any clothes. She lacked nothing at home so she naturally wouldnt bring clothes back and forth. Chen Sinan stood up and took off his jacket. He indicated the bedroom and said, There are clothes in the main bedroom. You can go grab it. Its best if you take a warm shower. Heh. ShowerI think I dont need to take a shower. Chen Sinan stopped what he was doing and looked deeply at her. Arent you afraid of the cold? Are you planning for me to help you take a shower? Xin Siyue raised her hand to admit defeat. Ill go take one. Ill go take one, ok? Chen Sinan looked at her. Or do you want to do something else? Xin Siyues face turned red and hurriedly explained herself. I wasnt thinking about anything! But your gaze proved to me that you were thinking about a lot of things. I didnt! Leave me alone. Im going to change my clothes! As she said this, she stood up and pushed Chen Sinan. He didnt make it difficult for her either, cooperating and moving to the side. Xin Siyue walked into the main bedroom to see that his room was quite neat. There was a gray bed and a dressing table. There was a liquid crystal TV and a black office desk by the corner. The documents on the desk were neatly displayed too. After Xin Siyue looked around the surroundings, besides the linked bathroom and study in the bedroom, there was another room. She opened the door to see another heaven. The clothes were neatly hung in the closet. The clothes, shoes, watches, and such were sorted and placed in order. Besides noticing his shirts and suits, Xin Siyue also saw the closet full of womens clothes. There were clothes from all sorts of seasons. She was incredibly shocked. She looked through the sizes to see it was all her normal sizes. There were even pajamas and her undergarments. Xin Siyue placed her hand on her forehead. When did he prepare all of this? How come she didnt know? Plus, it seems like he was planning to live with her? But, he never requested this! The two lived in separate places and each had their own jobs. It was difficult to live together. Xin Siyue took a warm shower with a complicated feeling in her heart. She changed to casual clothes and the moment she opened the door, she saw that he changed as well. Xin Siyue looked at him but didnt do or say anything. Chen Sinan walked closer to her and held her eyes. She noticed that her hands finally got warmer after the warm shower. It wasnt as icy as it was when she first got in the house. He asked her, Do you want to wait until the rain stops then go back or right now? Xin Siyue knew that her family would start to worry if she didnt go back. But she wanted to spend an extra few minutes with her. Therefore, she thought about it before she answered, Im going to call my mother She didnt need to say anything more for him to understand. Chen Sinan pinched her face and nodded. Ok. Xin Siyue happily wanted to retrieve her phone from the living room. She only walked a few steps when he carried her princess style. She was frantic and hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck. What are you doing? Chen Sinan looked at her pale white feet and said, Even if there are carpets on the ground, you cant walk barefoot around. Although Xin Siyue knew that he was concerned for her, she purposefully didnt want him to have his way. Oh, I didnt know there are so many rules in your house. Chapter 135 - He Wants to Live With Her? (2) Ch.135 He Wants to Live With Her? (2) Xin Siyue, dont you think youre quite ungrateful saying this? Xin Siyue smiled and shook her head. I dont think so. Humph! Chen Sinan coldly humphed. She thinks he cant punish her? He lowered his head to kiss her again. Xin Siyue hurriedly reminded him out of fright. Watch where youre going! Xin Siyue stayed in his house for a few hours. The two cuddled on the sofa and watched an old movie. When the movie finally ended and the rain stopped, Xin Siyue looked at the time. She looked down and said, I should go. Ok. Chen Sinan knew that her break wasnt that long. If she didnt go home anytime soon, Xin Family would probably have some objections to him. On the way back, Chen Sinan asked, Do you have time tomorrow? Xin Siyue thought carefully and said truthfully. Its hard to tell. Chen Sinan knew that it was the Chinese New Year so she might have to stay with her family. He settled for the next best. How about the day after? The first of January? I dont think so. How about your family? Chen Sinan continued to ask. What? Xin Siyue was confused. Invite the two families elders out for lunch and talk about our marriage. Xin Siyue felt like she couldnt keep up with him! They werent even together for a while yet! He was already thinking about marriage? Xin Siyue pondered over her word choices and asked, Dont you think were a bit too quick? I had been waiting for you for so many years. If we married the moment you graduated from college, we would have a child by now. Xin Siyue was frightened by his thoughts. She hastily rejected. Its too quick. You will scare my parents like this. Its not quick. I went to visit my soon to be Father-in-Law and Mother-in-law before and hinted them. Chen Sinan said and looked at her, continuing, Plus, it doesnt seem like they were against the idea. Xin Siyue clenched her teeth and said, Are you marrying me or my parents? They dont have any opinions but I do. Whats your opinion? Were too quick! Were only at the dating stage and you already want to marry me? Chen Sinan thought deeply. His slender fingers tapped against the keyboard every now and then. Seeing this, Xin Siyue hovered over him and hugged his arms. She tried to please him, Its too quick. Im not mentally ready yet. Chen Sinan looked at her and agreed in the end. Then lets slow down? Xin Siyue looked gratefully at him. She instinctively kissed his face and said, Mhm, youre great! Seeing that she was trying to please him, he was in a great mood. On the first day of January, Chen Sinan was busy welcoming and attending to the relatives and friends coming over. Of course, he had many business partners as well. Although Xin Siyue wasnt as busy as him, she and Zhong Qin went on a date the whole day. After the two left the beauty salon, they went on a crazy shopping spree. After shopping and eating, they went to the theaters to watch a movie like how couples would. Seeing the couples on line that were in front of them, Zhong Qin sighed. I feel attacked at such a young age by them! This is unnatural! Xin Siyue laughed. Didnt you want to come and watch a movie? Zhong Qin sighed. If you can be a guy, I will probably be happy. Xin Siyue shrugged. I really cant help you there. Seeing that you ditched Chen Sinan and stayed with me the entire day on the first of January, I wont argue with you. Xin Siyue chuckled. Thank you Miss. Zhong for not arguing with me then. My pleasure, my pleasure! Zhong Qin waved her hands as if she was acting. Xin Siyue smiled and said, I think you dont need to be a host. You can go ahead and be an actress. Maybe you can get an award. Sigh. I had been thinking about this! But Im not that famous so I didnt dare to change my career Zhong Qin rambled on. Xin Siyue detected a man in a suit watching her not far from Zhong Qin. Xin Siyue looked at him and he stared back. He didnt even avoid her. This man was handsome but Xin Siyue knew for sure that she didnt know him. Zhong Qin knew something was wrong too. She looked over according to her gaze. She noticed Mo Bei with another girl. She was smiling and talking to him but Mo Bei seemed indifferent. Zhong Qin whispered and asked Xin Siyue, Do you know him? Xin Siyue shook her head but she felt like he knew her. That man wearing a gray suit is Mo Familys grandson. What was a coincidence was that he was like Sheng Wenyang, also in the designer industry. Oh, right. He is Mo Bei. Zhong Qin said this and asked her, Have you heard of him? Mo Bei? Xin Siyue slightly squinted her eyes. So its him! He was the second male lead in the book. He liked Sheng Wenyang to the point he would sacrifice anything for her and he had lost himself in the process. Yet, he was with another girl at this time? Did he listen to the elders and was going on a blind date? Xin Siyue suddenly remembered that Mo Bei and Chen Sinan had known each other since they were kids. But because of Sheng Wenyang, they became strangers in the end. So Mo Bei had been staring at her because he knew she was Chen Sinans woman? He was curious? On the way back, she called Chen Sinan to tell him how she coincidentally met Mo Bei. Then she naturally thought of another question. Wasnt Sheng Wenyang being too quiet recently? Why arent there any news of her? Because she had been busy, she forgot to ask Xin Qiancheng and Chen Sinan how the investigation had been going. They had no information on the person behind this at all? It seems like they have a lot of experience so that they were able to leave no traces at all. Chapter 136 - Have A Lovely Child Soon (1) Ch.136 Have A Lovely Child Soon (1) After Chen Sinan picked up Xin Siyue, he brought her to his apartment. Chen Sinans decision to not bring her out in public matched Xin Siyues thoughts perfectly. She doesnt like the feeling of brushing against other peoples shoulders, just like how she had walked in the crowd today with Zhong Qin to shop. There were crowds wherever they went. Xin Siyue was already acquainted with Chen Sinans apartment because she had visited it before. The moment Chen Sinan opened the door, she walked past him to get inside first. As she bent over to take off her boots, she asked with a smile, So, President Chen, are you planning to prepare the dinner tonight by yourself? Chen Sinan only knew that Xin Siyue was talented when it came to making soup, but he didnt know that she was also skilled at cooking. When he heard her question, he thought: She doesnt know how to cook, but one of them needed to know since the two of them were going to be living together. When he thought about it that way, he took off his black, long windbreaker and rolled up his gray lined sleeve, and said, Let me do it. Xin Siyue was amused by his expression that showed facing death fearlessly, so she said, Youre only cooking, its not like your going on the battlefield, do you need to be this serious? If you can do it, then you go do it. Xin Siyue responded smilingly as she took off her coat, I cant. Its all on you, President Chen. Chen Sinan moved his brows subtly and stared at her silently. Xin Siyue suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she touched her face and said, Is there anything on my face? Yes, Chen Sinan said in a serious tone. Upon hearing his words, she went looking for the mirror inside her bag. I saw four words written on your face. Chen Sinan walked closer to her and pointed at her forehead. Eh? Rejoicing in other peoples misfortune. Xin Siyue burst out laughing, Yes, President Chen, Im in the wrong. Youre a person of high moral character, please dont make it difficult for someone like me. Chen Sinan lifted his chin subtly, So how are you going to make up for it? Xin Siyue rolled her pretty eyes, Why dont you punish me with cooking tonight? Chen Sinan nodded and said, Dont bomb the kitchen. Xin Siyue pretended to be angry, Chen Sinan, dont underestimate people! Chen Sinan pretended that he didnt see her angry face and said to himself, But its fine if you bomb the kitchen, theres another one next door. Next door? Xin Siyue then thought of the reselling of her apartment next door. She bought that apartment but then resold it not long after her purchase. Then Xin Qiancheng handled all of the details of the sale so she doesnt know who the buyer was. Oh right, whos living next door? Chen Sinan narrowed his eyes and looked at her, You dont know? Xin Siyue shook her head honestly, No, my brother told me that he found a buyer so I moved out right away. I didnt ask about it afterwards. After she finished the sentence, she looked at Chen Sinan with an ill-intentioned expression, President Chen, the new neighbor must be better than me, the old neighbor, isnt that right? Chen Sinan sat down on the couch and stretched out his long legs, and said lazily, It is indeed much better. Oh? Then it must be a beauty? Xin Siyue cooperated. Indeed beautiful. As Chen Sinans voice trailed off, his handsome face was attacked by the pillow Xin Siyue threw. Xin Siyue! Chen Sinan threw the pillow away and was about to unleash his anger when Xin Siyue pounced on him. She pulled on the collar of his shirt and said, No wonder you like it here so much, its because theres a secret mistress next door! Chen Sinan stretched out his hands to stop her, but when he looked down, he realized that Xin Siyue was straddling his waist while kneeling on the sofa. Chapter 137 - Have A Lovely Child Soon (2) Ch.137 Have A Lovely Child Soon (2) Chen Sinan stretched out his hands to stop her, but when he looked down, he realized that Xin Siyue was straddling his waist while kneeling on the sofa. He moved, and she also moved along with his movement. Their lower bodies rubbed against each other with the movement, Chen Sinan felt the fire lighting up inside him. He breathing became a little heavy as he stared at her carefully, Do you believe that I will take care of you if you move again! After Xin Siyue heard the threat, she froze for a moment and then quickly got off of him. But her careless movements sparked an accidental conflict: she touched the part where she wasnt supposed to touch. Xin Siyues face was suddenly filled with embarrassment, she explained, I didnt do it on purpose, Ill Not waiting for her to finish, Chen Sinan positioned her under his body, I think you did it on purpose! Xin Siyue was speechless, Wu wu She really didnt mean to. All of Chen Sinans suppressed desire was suddenly unleashed by that accidental touch. Even if he couldnt unleash all of it, at least he should receive some interest back. Xin Siyue was trapped on the couch by hi, her lips were numb from his kissing. She felt that he was sucking on her lips extra hard, so she couldnt help but pushed him away, Dont kiss too hard! I need to go home later! When she called home, she told them that she wont be home for dinner because she has a date with Chen Sinan. Xin Qiancheng said, You must be back by ten oclock. That meant that she couldnt stay for the night. If he kissed too much, how will she face her family? Chen Sinans expression darkened when he asked, So its fine as long as no one sees it? Eh? Xin Siyues brain lacked oxygen as she looked at him in confusion. Chen Sinan smiled and then pulled down her collar. She wore a red V-neck sweater, so it was very convenient for him to pull the collar to her shoulder. She noticed that the skin around her neck had turned cold from being exposed, but in the next second, warmth was immediately returned to her neck. Chen Sinan lowered and buried his head on her shoulder, kissing the area from her neck to her shoulder. Sometimes he sucked her skin with a great force, leaving behind red marks. Xin Siyue tilted her head and clutched the couch tightly with both of her hands. Her body felt soft and boneless, she felt like her body wasnt her body. Her skin was smooth and fair, one of Chen Sinans hands cupped her softness while his other hand slid inside her clothes It was unknown how much time had passed, but Xin Siyue began to slowly recover her consciousness. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw the beast in front of her putting on her clothes for her. Not only did he took off his shirt, he also took off hers he then wrapped her in his embrace and rubbed against her with all his strength. When Xin Siyue reflected back to some of the scenes, she couldnt help but complain, Whats the difference between your behavior and? It was obvious that her voice became quieter in the latter part of the sentence. Chen Sinan, who was bent over picking her clothes, stopped. He didnt immediately hand her the clothes right away, instead he began fiddling around with her clothes as he jokingly said, You dont think theres a difference between entering and not entering? You Xin Siyue suddenly thought that she had previously underestimated his shamelessness! Since she couldnt outwit him by talking, Xin Siyue sulkingly said, Give my clothes back! If you want to get your clothes back, say something to make me happy. Xin Siyues chest was only covered by his black windbreaker, so her back was freezing. She bit her lip, unwilling to let him push his luck! So, she rolled her eyeballs and sneezed twice. Upon seeing the scene, Chen Sinan immediately asked, You caught a cold? Xin Siyue used the opportunity to make a fuss, Who told you to take off my clothes! Chapter 138 - Have A Lovely Child Soon (3) Ch.138 Have A Lovely Child Soon (3) Chen Sinan quickly helped her put the clothes on, Change to a thicker one later. This is too thin, no wonder you caught a cold! Xin Siyue rolled her eyes, why didnt you thought of that when you took my clothes off!? After she finished wearing her outfit, Chen Sinan directly put on his black windbreaker on her, Dont take it off, put your coat on too. Xin Siyue wanted to laugh, President Chen, Im still inside the apartment! Its the same inside the room. Xin Siyue didnt want to talk to him. Chen Sinan pinched into his own pocket and took out a red envelope for her. Xin Siyue didnt accept it right away, instead, she asked, Is this used to bribe me? I dont really see which part of you is worthy enough for me to bribe, Chen Sinan immediately exposed her. Xin Siyue became angry, Then what do you mean by giving me this? Red packet for New Year. Didnt you just sent me one last night? Xin Siyue replied without thinking. That wasnt the same, this is real deal. Oh. Xin Siyue received the red envelope over from Chen Sinan. She shook the envelope, it wasnt money inside, so she asked, What did you put inside? Dont you know how to open it? Chen Sinan raised an eyebrow. Open it in front of you? Xin Siyue thought about it and said, Ill open it now There was only a card inside the red packet when she opened it. Xin Siyue didnt understand, Youre so rich that you give out cards when giving out red packets? You think everyone else receives the same treatment? Xin Siyue laughed, Thats true, Im not the same. Then she asked, How much money is in this card? Chen Sinan was not the kind of person to care how many 0s are in his bank account, so he only replied, Check it out yourself. If Chen Sinan had given a red packet with money, she wouldve have reluctantly accepted it. But now that he gave her a card with an unknown balance Xin Siyue felt a little apprehensive, Why did you thought of giving me this all of a sudden? It was a little fishy for her to accept it. Chen Sinan reached out to pinched her cheek, Accept it. This is to wish that you will have a child soon. Xin Siyue, Why does she like she was falling into a trap? But then she thought: Since he gave it to her, she wont reject it unreasonably. The two began to cook after after she put the card away. Chen Sinan stood on the sideline as he watched her skillfully wash, chop, and cooked the food. She had down everything in a clear and orderly manner, showing no signs of nervousness that she was doing everything for the first time. He said, I never knew you are skilled at cooking. Xin Siyue smiled proudly, Theres a lot of stuff that Im skilled at. Chen Sinan smiled, What else? Let me hear about them. While Xin Siyue was stir frying the food, she replied proudly, Im not telling you. Chen Sinan was indifferent, Thats even better, I like to discover them myself. Xin Siyue looked to him without saying anything. After dinner, Chen Sinan asked her to play chess. Xin Siyue wasnt skilled at playing chess, so she lost very badly. Xin Siyue acted shamelessly, Why cant you be a gentleman and humor me! The result would be the same! That was the truth; he humored her half of the game, and she still lost gloriously. The two of them were lovey-dovey for a bit after chess until Chen Sinan received a call from Zhuang Zhu asking him to drink with them. Im busy. Not going! Chen Sinan answered without hesitation. Zhuang Zhu said with discontent, What is there to busy with on New Year! Chen Sinan looked at Xin Siyue and reached out to hug her, I need to accompany my wife. Chapter 139 - More than Your Official Girlfriend (1) Ch.139 More than Your Official Girlfriend (1) Zhuang Zhu was unwilling to accept the defeat of not being able to invite Chen Sinan out on New Year. As a result, he kept calling Chen Sinan to harass him, Come out! We will treat you! Your wife is not with you today! Come out to drink! Chen Sinan, I brought enough cash today, come and play Mahjong with us! Chen Sinan heard these words when he picked up the phone, so he turned to ask Xin Siyue, Zhuang Zhu is going to give us free money, shall we meet him? What? Xin Siyue was going back to City A tomorrow. She thought of Zhuang Zhus call back in New Year asking Chen Sinan to go out with him while they were together, and today Zhuang Zhu was asking him out again during their limited time together? Xin Siyue tilted her head to examine Chen Sinan, the faint sunlight projected through the black glass window gave Chen Sinan a warm glow. Chen Sinans gaze fell on her clean and makeup free face, he watched her rosy lips move, Chen Sinan, I realized that your Zhuang Zhu likes to stick with you a lot! He sticks to you even more than me, your official girlfriend. After she finished speaking, she squinted her eyes at Chen Sinan and said, Are the two of you Halfway through her sentence, she realized that the expression on Chen Sinans face had darkened, so she quickly corrected herself, Oh no, does Zhuang Zhu have any feelings towards you Chen Sinan looked at her deeply and then pulled her into his embrace. He smiled and said, Do I need to prove it to you that your boyfriend has no problem at all? After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and sucked hard on the hollow of her neck. Xin Siyue pushed him away with great force, No, dont. Im in the wrong, I was joking alright!? She lowered her head and quickly fixed her collar. Chen Sinan let go of her, but he continued to rub her palm with his right hand. He lazily said, Hes probably interested in you. Xin Siyue didnt understand, I only saw him once, what is he interested in? Chen Sinan said indifferently, Because you guys only met once, thats why hes interested. Xin Siyue thought about it and came to the conclusion that a huge part of Zhuang Zhus interest probably came from Chen Sinan. Thinking of it that way, she said smilingly, How about we go over tonight? Upon seeing that she had no complaints, Chen Sinan agreed. But while he called Zhuang Zhu to tell him that he will be attending tonights meeting, he also said something inadvertently, Remember to gather everyone. It was easier to introduce his girlfriend to all his friends at once. When Zhuang Zhu head that Chen Sinan was finally going to show his face along with Xin Siyue, he immediately gathered the rich people whom they always hang out with; Mo Bei was included in that group obviously. When Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue arrived, Zhuang Zhu and his friends were already high. The scent of beer and smoke were mixed in the private room, and the music was blasting loudly. Although Xin Siyue frowned for a moment when she arrived in the room, thanks to how spacious the room was and the good ventilation, she quickly got used to it. However, Chen Sinan who had his arm around her waist, had noticed her subtle change in expression when he glanced at her. He turned to look at the glass table was littered with bottles of beer. Although there werent any beautiful women accompanying the men, the atmosphere here was still foul. Chen Sinan stood outside and didnt enter; he told Zhuang Zhu to open another room next door. Zhuang Zhu was shocked, Bro, we already cleaned up the room when we knew that youre coming! We still need to change? Chen Sinan had mysophobia so he always does the same thing, even when he only stayed for half an hour. But how was this different from the past!? When Zhuang Zhu came in before, he told them to pay attention to their cleanliness, but he didnt expect that this still wasnt up to Chen Sinans standard. It wasnt supposed to turn out this way! Chapter 140 - More than Your Official Girlfriend (2) Ch.140 More than Your Official Girlfriend (2) Chen Sinan ignored his expression and said, Switch to another room. Zhuang Zhu couldnt do anything, so he could only tell his bros to move. It was rare for Chen Sinan to gather with them, and this was the first time he brought a woman with him. They had indulged in his grand press conference for a couple of days, now that they met the real person, they realized that she was still beautiful even without makeup. As a result, they kept flattering him, saying that his luck with women was very good. Xin Siyue only smiled faintly from the sideline, she would occasionally nod her head and reply with a few words here and there. Chen Sinan was originally worried that she would feel uncomfortable, but he was relieved after he saw how calmly and at ease she was handling the whole situation. Zhuang Zhu was the best at talking, he kept calling her sister-in-law. When the others saw this, they also took the opportunity to address her as their sister-in-law. Xin Siyue sat in the middle of the crowd; she lowered her head and whispered to Chen sinan, Are you older than all of them? Im older than some of them. Whats the matter? Chen Sinan was worried that she felt uncomfortable. It turned out to be that Xin Siyue really was uncomfortable, Being called sister-in-law by so many men, feels very special. Chen Sinan reached out his hand to soothe the back of her hair, then said smilingly, It will become better after you get used to it. After the waiter finished serving the food and everyone was ready to take a seat, the door of the room was pushed open, and the figure of a man and woman came into view. The man was wearing a black leather jacket, he was tall and handsome. The woman had on a light blue overcoat and was wearing a white dress inside. Her makeup was exquisitely applied and her hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, giving her a beautiful feminine appearance. When Xin Siyue saw their faces, her mouth curved into a faint but beautiful smile. Mo Bei and Sheng Wenyang? Everyone was shocked that Mo Bei had also brought a woman over. When they got a closer look at the woman, they realized that she was the one who had a catfight with Chen Sinans woman. The most important point was that the two women had a catfight because of Chen Sinan! Everyone wanted to applaud, but they forced themselves to suppress their desire. Their faces showed no signs of excitement as their gaze switched back and forth between the two parties. Eh, everyone, lets not be too presumptuous. Its not a smart thing to provoke Chen Sinan or Mo Bei. Zhuang Zhu was the one who had contacted Mo Bei. Mo Bei told him that he was busy and Mo Bei was contacted by Zhuang Zhu, but Mo Bei told him that he was busy and he will see by then. As a result, Zhuang Zhu wasnt bothered too much by Mo Beis absence, but why does he have to bring this woman along!? Zhuang Zhu looked at Xin Siyue worriedly, but he was surprised to find a faint smile on her face instead. She was smiling at Mo Bei and Sheng Wenyang as they approached the group, there was no jealousy or anger on her face! No wonder she is worthy to be with Chen Sinan, her ability is not bad, Zhuang Zhu thought. Mo Bei was also shocked by Chen Sinan and Xin Siyues presence. Zhuang Zhu mentioned nothing about Chen Sinan, and he didnt expect him to bring Xin Siyue along. When he received the call from Zhuang Zhu, he was with Sheng Wenyang. Sheng Wenyangs company was about to launch a new series of jewellery with the theme a couple for a lifetime. She had brought the design to Mo Bei to ask for his opinion on the designs. As soon as Mo Bei made a few suggestions, Sheng Wenyang started to edit, so they came late. Mo Bei thought that there will only be Zhuang Zhu and a few others would be present, and since Sheng Wenyang still havent had dinner yet, he asked her to come along since she had met them before. He didnt expect to see Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue. Chapter 141 - More than Your Official Girlfriend (3) Ch.141 More than Your Official Girlfriend (3) Zhuang Zhu got up to break the awkward silence, Bei Zi, you finally came! If you had come a bit later, we wouldve already started eating. I was busy so I came late. Mo Bei replied. A person who was seated at the same table mockingly said, Bei Zi, I think youre busy with girls recently! I heard rumours that youre always with some girl, now youre actually bringing her here for us to see! Xin Siyue looked at that person with admiration and thought, Bro, Im worried for you! The person who was with Mo Bei was not the same beauty in front of you okay!? Sure enough, Xin Siyue noticed that the expression on Mo Beis face had darkened, even Sheng Wenyangs expression froze for a moment. Xin Siyue looked at Mo Bei and said laughingly, Eat your food and shut your mouth! His shame turned into anger! Chen Sinan was sitting besides Xin Siyue, so he naturally noticed that her gaze had been on Mo Bei since the moment he entered the room. Even the smile on her face was weird. Chen Sinan reached out to put his arm on the back of her chair and lowered his head to whispered in her ear, What are the melons seeds in your brain thinking about? Xin Siyue laughed and whispered back to him, I saw the girl who was with Mo Bei, it wasnt Sheng Wenyang. Eh? Xin Siyue wanted to explain after she saw Chen Sinan frowning, instead he questioned her, Are you interested in Mo Bei? Xin Siyue really wanted to answer, I do have a little interest in the male supporting character in the book! However, she could never say that! She could only smile and shook her head, No, no, no. Chen Sinan glanced at her, then turned around without speaking. Xin Siyue had just realized that Mo Bei and Sheng Wenyang had already taken a seat. What was coincidental was that both of them sat across from her. Xin Siyue moved her chopsticks, but before she could pick up the food, she heard Mo Bei, ANan, are you not going to introduce us? Chen Sinan had just put a peeled lobster into Xin Siyues bowl when he heard this question. He looked at Mo Bei and then he glanced at Xin Siyues line of sight. Chen Sinan introduced them, This is the grandson of the Mo Family, Mo Bei. This is my wife, Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue, Wasnt wife used only when the two of them were alone? Yet today Xin Siyue clearly saw Sheng Wenyangs hand trembled when she lifted the cup up while Mo Bei inadvertently glanced at Sheng Wenyang. Then, he replied with a smile, Miss Xin, its an honor to meet you at last. Hehe, same to you. Xin Siyue smiled politely and replied perfunctorily, Hello. During this meal, Xin Siyue didnt know how Sheng Wenyang and Mo Bei felt, but she had accidentally ate too much. Of course, the main culprit was Chen Sinan; he kept putting more and more food in her bowl. After she finished eating a small mountain of food, there was another small mountain of food in her bowl. When Xin Siyue saw that he had no intentions of stopping, she turned her head to stare at him, warning him not to overdo it. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhu made a scene out of it, Hey, hey, hey! Thats enough! The two of you had been displaying how lovey dovey you are since the beginning of the meal! We had enough dog food fed to us! Xin Siyue wanted to respond, but before she could even respond, she was stopped by a clang sound from across. Sheng Wenyangs cup was accidentally knocked over and water had spilled everywhere, even her dress was wet. Sorry! After she apologized, she ran out of the room immediately. Xin Siyue remained seated, after looking at the Mo Bei running after Sheng Wenyang, she turned to look at Chen Sinan. Chen Sinan remained seated. He served a bowl of soup for her and said, Be careful, its hot. Xin Siyue, She suddenly realized that she really liked the him right now, what should she do!? Chapter 142 - After All, They Both Have a Close Relationship (1) Ch.142 After All, They Both Have a Close Relationship (1) Mo Bei stood in the hallway outside the bathroom. After waiting a few minutes, he saw Sheng Wenyang coming out of the bathroom with teary eyes. He shoved his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall, saying, Youve seen it yourself today. When would Chen Sinan ever do something like that for a woman? Sheng Wenyang remained silent, but stared at the plant pot in the hallway. Sheng Wenyang, wake up. You cant win Xin Siyue. Why?! Give me a reason. She calmly retorted. Mo Bei thought it was better for her to vent her feelings hysterically rather than suppressing it. Because Chen Sinan doesnt love you. Mo Bei said, As long as a man was interested or placed a woman in his heart, he wouldnt allow a woman to live by herself all these years and not ask anything about it. When did he ever place your work, company, or life in his heart? Or at least even asked about it once? Wenyang, you saw how he cherished and adored that woman. Its impossible between the two of you! Sheng Wenyang stubbornly refused to look at him but her eyes were still red. Mo Bei stared at her shaking shoulders, unable to force himself to speak harshly anymore. When Sheng Wenyang returned to the private room, she drank two glasses of red wine in a row before suddenly standing up. She raised her wine glass and said to Chen Sinan, President Chen, I toast you. Everyone looked at Chen Sinan, eager for gossip. Chen Sinan lazily looked at her. Xin Siyues gaze landed on Sheng Wenyang. She downed the glass of wine in one gulp, not waiting for Chen Sinans response at all. Mo Bei sat by the side and leaned back. But his gaze wasnt on Sheng Wenyang either. He watched with his arms folded. Xin Siyue guessed that the two had an unpleasant conversation outside which was why Mo Bei was acting like this. Chen Sinan didnt move but this didnt stop Sheng Wenyang from continuing, President Chen, thank you for helping me so much while I was in college. You helped me feel motivated. She downed another glass of wine. I am thankful for you, President Chen. While I was abroad all these years, it was because of you that I persisted. She slightly choked with emotions and continued, I kept on going for such a long time just for you. But I cant seem to find a goal to keep me striving. She paused momentarily and said in a slightly hoarse voice, Chen Sinan, I just want to ask you a question. What did all the beautiful memories that we had together mean to you? I clearly remember each time we were together. Our hugs. Our kisses. Where did you toss these memories to?! You clearlyyou clearly like mebut why Under everyones bright and gossip-filled gazes, Chen Sinan stood up. He interrupted her endless rant by saying, Youre drunk. Sheng Wenyang chuckled. Id rather that I was really drunk but Im clearly sober. Chen Sinan, do you understand how it feels to be heartbroken? No. You will never understand. Xin Siyue raised her eyebrows and looked at the two. Chen Sinan looked at her and held her hands, helping her up. He took her bag and coat from behind her and hung it on his elbow. He replied to Sheng Wenyang, You are right that I dont know, because my life is complete. He linked hands with Xin Siyue and ignored Sheng Wenyang who had a tear-stained face of a beauty. He said to Zhuang Zhu. She needs to work tomorrow morning so Im going to take her home now. You can put the bill on my tab. After that, they silently left. Once the car was started, Xin Siyue purposefully sighed after she slowly put her seatbelt on. This noise was particularly loud in a silent car. Chen Sinan looked to the side. Xin Siyue seriously looked at him too. Chen Sinan was unable to endure her sparkling gaze so he shifted his gaze. He stared ahead and said, If you have something to say, just say it. Xin Siyue said pitifully, Its sad that we left so early. We didnt even win Zhuang Zhus money back. Originally, Zhuang Zhu had met with Chen Sinan so that they could play cards. Its the same if we win the next time. I was looking forward to you playing cards. She knew that Chen Sinan had great card skills. Youll have a chance in the future. Chen Sinan said this and changed the topic, How about I drive you over to my house and you play a few rounds with my mother and grandfather? Wouldnt he be indirectly bringing her to see his parents? Xin Siyue hurriedly rejected, No, no, no. Im not good at playing cards. Ill look bad if I keep losing. You have me. What are you scared of? What? If you lose, Ill just help you win double the money back. If you lose, its on me. If I win, its on you. Xin Siyue pondered over this and believed that she wouldnt be losing anything. When Chen Sinan saw that she didnt respond, he continued to ask, How does this sound? Want to come over? Of course not! I didnt prepare anything. Im not going. I want to go back home. Chen Sinan glanced at her and didnt persist. He drove her back to her house. Once they arrived at the Xin Residence, Chen Sinan said, Ill come over to pick you up early morning tomorrow. You dont need to go through all this trouble. My driver can drive me over. So its settled. Chen Sinan didnt care what she had previously said. Xin Siyue glared at him and said, Hey, President Chen, can you take my words seriously? Yes, I always remember your words. Before she could ramble on, he continued, We wont be able to see each other for another few days. Let me hug you for a while. Chapter 143 - After All, They Both Have a Close Relationship (2) Ch.143 After All, They Both Have a Close Relationship (2) Xin Siyue naturally didnt think that he was just simply going to hug her. As expected, while Chen Sinan hugged her, he started to kiss her until she was dizzy from the lack of oxygen. Then he let her go. Her break was over and Xin Siyue returned to work as usual. Who knew that the first mission she received was to convince Chen Sinan to accept an interview. This Xin Siyue rejected without hesitation. The chances of him accepting this are very low. Right! Its because of this that we meticulously planned this episode. If we are able to invite Chen Sinan to be a guest for our show, we definitely wont need to worry about the ratings. Xin Siyue glanced at the Chief Editor and said, Shouldnt we worry about whether or not he will accept this first? The moment the Chief Editor heard this, his expression changed. He looked warmly and friendly at Xin Siyue. Thats why we need Host Xins help. Win him over! Believe me, the next episode will capture everyones attention! Xin Siyue was speechless. What a group of unscrupulous people! If she was to interview Chen Sinan, it would be lacking emotions and rigid. The two knew each other closely, so why should they sit in front of the camera and talk about things, especially for the audience to hear? Xin Siyue cut straight to the chase. You guys can interview him if you guys want, but Im not responsible for contacting him. You guys can try your best to settle this issue. Xin Siyue didnt want to interview Chen Sinan. Therefore, she racked her mind to think of someone suitable to replace him. The Chief Editor knew that she had made her decision. After this, he went to talk to her a few more times because he thought that if the program group were to contact him, before the call could get to Chen Sinans assistant, it wouldve been filtered out already. But if Xin Siyue had asked him, there would be better chances. After all, they were close with one another. But Xin Siyue wouldnt do him this favor. When Chen Sinan found out about this, it was already a few days later. That night, he just finished attending a dinner party. On the way, he asked Assistant Wang, Have you booked the ticket already? Yes, President Chen. Assistant Wang respectfully replied but debated on saying something. Just say whatever is on your mind. President Chen, so theres a TV Station in A City who wants to interview you for one episode on their show. Chen Sinan tugged his tie and was about to say, you want me to teach you what to do still?, when Assistant Wang said, Coincidentally, Miss Xin is also hosting this show. What? The program group wanted to interview him but how come he hadnt heard her mention this when they had called everyday? Chen Sinan thought deeply and answered ok. Assistant Wang was confused. What did this mean? Did he agree or not? Assistant Wang thought that since his Boss was going to visit his wife, he might as well leave this for the two of them to settle. When Chen Sinan arrived at the neighborhood Xin Siyue lived in, it was already one in the morning. He opened the door and entered the house. As expected, it was silent. Chen Sinan attempted to walk gently. After he showered, he wore his robe and walked into the main bedroom to see her sleeping soundly. He couldnt control his smile. He didnt know whether to feel happy at her deep sleep or worry for her lack of alarm for living here alone. He used the dusk yellow lamp by the bed and wanted to move the blankets over so he could lay in, when he realized she was already on top of half the blankets. He didnt want to wake her up so he felt his way around the room and walked to the wardrobe to bring a new blanket over to bed. While walking back, he noticed that Xin Siyue had rolled over. He held his breath and walked over. When he had just placed the blankets down, she was suddenly startled. She abruptly sat up and said tremblingly, Who are you! Chen Sinan reached over and held her shoulders. Its me, dont be scared. When Xin Siyue heard a familiar voice, she borrowed the dim light to look at his face. After making sure it was him, she couldnt help but throw a pillow at him. Chen Sinan! You want to scare me to death?! Its in the middle of the night and what do you think youre doing?! Ok, ok, ok. Dont be scared. We can talk about this tomorrow. Lets sleep now. Wait no, why are you here? Xin Siyue was confused. I am free tomorrow so I decided to come over. Xin Siyue found her phone and looked at the time. It was almost two in the morning. So he hurried here overnight? She was extremely tired and figured that he might be too after getting off a plane. She hugged his waist and murmured, Lets hurry and sleep. Chen Sinan kissed her eyebrows and hugged her to sleep. When he woke up the next morning, he just found out that she had already left for work. There was a text from her, saying that breakfast was already made and for him to heat it up before eating. Chen Sinan had an extremely good sleep last night. He even slept an extra two to three hours. Therefore, he was in a great mood this morning. After he rinsed and finished eating breakfast, he sent Xin Siyue a text. Wifey, are you busy with your work? Chapter 144 - Interviewing the Male Lead (1) Ch.144 Interviewing the Male Lead (1) When Xin Siyue saw Chen Sinans text, she just walked out of the Directors office. There was only one reason why the Director called her to his office. She had to convince Chen Sinan to accept the interview. Xin Siyue remained the same attitude. However, she couldnt handle the Directors glib tongue. It felt as if she didnt agree, then he wont let her back to work. Xin Siyue was forced to say, He just returned to A City last night. If you guys want to talk, you can send someone over to talk to him. Although the Director agreed, he mentioned many times for her to sweet talk him. When Chen Sinan came over in the afternoon to pick Xin Siyue up for lunch, he saw that she wasnt in a great mood. He teased her, Youre already full from eating just by looking at me? Xin Siyue was stunned and looked up at him. She then realized that he was just joking and wanted to make her smile. She chuckled and said, President Chen, dont worry. Just looking at you puts me in a great appetite to eat. You dont need to doubt yourself. Chen Sinan coldly humphed. Im always confident in my looks. Mhm, right! Xin Siyue followed along. After having two bites, she said, I want to talk to you about something. What? Xin Siyue went straight to the point. The TV Station wants to interview you for one of the shows. Mhm. Will you accept the interview? Chen Sinan knew that she was the host of the show too. But seeing that she hadnt mentioned this piece of information, he said, Normally, I dont go on these types of shows. I know. Xin Siyue knew better than anyone that he hated revealing himself in front of the public. Who knew that he continued to say, But if youre the one interviewing me and you give me some sort of benefits, Ill accept the interview. Once he finished, Chen Sinan purposefully looked ambiguously at her. Xin Siyue clearly didnt fall in his trap. No. I think its awkward to even interview you. Chen Sinan didnt really respond so they dropped the topic. Who knew that two days later, Xin Siyue walked into the office early morning when colleagues came over to congratulate her. Siyue, youre quite magical. Chen Sinan actually agreed to attend this show for the first time ever. After its broadcasted, you will definitely become famous! Xin Siyue was frozen momentarily before she shockingly said, He agreed to attend the show? Yes! Her colleagues happily stated. You didnt know? I heard that the Director invited him out for lunch and then he accepted this. However, we all know whose credit this goes to. Xin Siyue was speechless. He didnt tell her that he agreed! Not long from now, the official announcement came down. Xin Siyue was fully in charge of Chen Sinans interview. At the same time, this episode will be live-broadcasted for gimmick. This was the first time this show ever resorted to live-broadcast since the creation of it. Therefore, all the staff within the program group were highly concentrated and focused. Of course, because of Chen Sinans request, he would only appear at most for thirty minutes for the show. The Director said, President Chen, if were going to live-broadcast this, the whole process will be over an hour! If you only appear for half an hour, then our show You guys will just have to figure something out yourselves. Chen Sinan answered. Therefore, in the end, the program invited a popular celebrity as guest for the first half of the episode. After ten minutes of intermission, the main guest, Chen Sinan, appeared. Xin Siyue naturally needed to replan the entire episode. She worked overtime until late at night. When Chen Sinan came to pick her up, she gloomily asked, Why did you agree? Is there a reason why I shouldnt agree to attend my girlfriends show? Xin Siyue knitted her eyebrows and remained silent. Chen Sinan laughed and asked, Am I that embarrassing to show to the public? Xin Siyue slapped his hand which was pinching her face. Its because youre too presentable that Im unwilling to present you to the public. Chen Sinan chuckled and before he could say something, he heard Xin Siyue say, Plus, I dont want you to do something you dislike for me. This isnt too bad for me. Just relax and treat me like a normal guest. Xin Siyue murmured, How are you normal? She felt completely different around him! Because there were urgent matters in the company, Chen Sinan returned to Sheng Jin City earlier than planned. Spending the next several days without him, Xin Siyue could use this time to calm down and prepare for the draft of the episode. After an official announcement on Weibo that Chen Sinan was going to attend the show, it created huge sensations. The extraordinary and wealthy Chen Sinan was finally going to attend a show? The users left comments saying that they were eager to see his appearance. The day of the live-broadcast, they followed the procedure and simply rehearsed in the afternoon. Because Chen Sinan was still on the plane, he was naturally exempt from this. After dinner, Xin Siyue had been adjusting and calmly herself. She attempted to prepare to host in her best state. During the beginning of the episode, although she was a bit nervous, she quickly entered her state. No matter whether she was facing the guests or the cameras, she appeared to be calm and imposing. Chapter 145 - Interviewing the Male Lead (2) Ch.145 Interviewing the Male Lead (2) This popular celebritys surname was Li and he was only 25 years old. But because of his exquisite acting and remarkable appearance, he immediately won many fans over after appearing in several TV shows. Xin Siyue chatted with him comfortably as if they were friends. After that, they mentioned their dreams. He said, I have a simple dream. I just want to have a peaceful and enjoyable job, along with someone I like, and form a happy family with them. Xin Siyue smiled and said, Probably numerous people have the same dream. Host Xin thinks so? Yes, I think thats how life should be lived. Work, family, and friends. Host Xin, so what do you think youre still missing? Xin Siyue thought about it and grinned. I think Im quite happy right now so I treasure the moments. So, is Host Xin taken right now? Xin Siyue didnt think he would be that curious. She grinned and said, Yep, I have a boyfriend. Then is your boyfriend more handsome than me? Xin Siyue replied, If I say that you cant compare to my boyfriend, your fans will probably be angry with me. But if I were to say that my boyfriend cant compare to you, my boyfriend will probably will be angry and ignore me for a good half a month. Despite this, I still want to say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It goes without saying what her answer was. When the program was nearing its intermission, Xin Siyue thanked him for coming. He faintly smiled at him. Thank you, Host Xin. I had a relaxing and enjoyable conversation with you. Thank you. Hopefully, I will have a chance to invite you to our show again in the future. Of course. The first half of the episode was successful and the audience reacted finely. While they were in an intermission, the makeup artist helped put some more makeup on for Xin Siyue. At the same time, she hurriedly called Chen Sinan. While they were recording the episode, she kept an eye on stage and hadnt seen Chen Sinan. She was worried that something mightve happened at the last moment and he couldnt come. Once the call was answered, Chen Sinan answered, Dont worry, Im behind you. Xin Siyue turned around and as expected, he was standing not more than twenty meters from her. He wore a black suit and intentionally fixed his hair. He looked immaculately dressed and attractive. If one looked closely, he gave off a dominant Chairman aura. Xin Siyue sweetly smiled at him. Chen Sinan walked closer to her and helped her smoothed her scattered hair strands. He smiled and asked, Youre that scared of not being able to see me? Of course Im scared. If President Chen doesnt come, what am I supposed to do for the next half an hour? Chen Sinan squinted her eyes. I saw that you were having a good time with that young man. You probably wont have a problem with chatting with him another few hours. I did have the intention of continuing the conversation but he doesnt have time. He even took time out of his work today to attend the show. He came straight over from shooting his scenes and needs to head back in a bit. I also took time out of my work to come over. Yes, yes, yes. President Chen, you must be tired. The two caught up and then the show started again. Because Xin Siyue had casually chatted with him, she appeared to be more relaxed now. She invited Chen Sinan up the stage while people were applauding. After the two sat down, Chen Sinan secretly glanced at their distance. That far? Negative. President Chen, the audience and friends are very curious about your life, especially your career. Can you share this with us? Chen Sinan had a faint look on his face. I inherited my family business and as the time passes, Ive learned to master the field. Then during this process, have you encountered any thorny issues? There were big and small thorny issues. Youll only know how to handle these sudden issues, successfully take down a contract, and handle a company through practice. Xin Siyue realized that it was truthfully hard to have a conversation with Chen Sinan. He would only tell you that you will learn how to handle problems after encountering it multiple times. When Xin Siyue asked about his future plans or hope for his career, he said, Create more splendid achievements. They temporarily finished talking about work and they started chatting about his personal life. Xin Siyue asked, Besides going to work, what would President Chen normally do? Spend time with my family or my girlfriend. He smiled at her. Xin Siyues face turned crimson and she responded, smiling, President Chen is really For a moment, Xin Siyue couldnt find a phrase to describe him. If she said he was considerate, after the show, he would definitely be arrogant. If she said he was blessed, it seemed like she was the person referred to. She was embarrassed to say that. Chen Sinan grinned, as if he had already seen through her thoughts. The audience was shocked by Chen Sinans confession to having a girlfriend. Then they thought about how he claimed to be pursuing Xin Siyue in the past. Coincidentally, Xin Siyue had confessed to having a boyfriend earlier on stage. The audience erupted. So theyre a couple? Chapter 146 - The Night Is Long (1) Ch.146 The Night Is Long (1) Kitty Jiu: If you enjoy reading Avoid the Protagonist you may like my new translation as well: Female Lead has No Cheats (FLNC) Chen Sinan kneeled on one knee and the audience under the stage shrieked and cried out enthusiastically. Was he proposing to her? Propose! Propose! Propose! Xin Siyue sat on the nude single person sofa, incredibly shocked. You She opened her mouth but struggled to find the right words. Chen Sinan kneeled on one knee and picked up her left hand. In his right hand, he held a sparkling and exquisite looking ring. While I was preparing my speech last night, I thought a lot about what I was going to say. But now that Im looking at you, my mind is blank and I cant remember anything. Theres only one thing revolving in my mind. Marry me. As Chen Sinan said this, he paused for a while before continuing, You said that you were scared that we were going too quick, but I think everyday is romantic. I want to marry you. I want to be able to see and hug you before and after I go to work. Ive been waiting for you for so many years. Let us be together until death do us part. Let us still be together when were old and have kids running around us. What do you think? Chen Sinan wasnt great at expressing his feelings. The fact that he was able to confess and say this in front of a live-broadcast and the hundreds of thousands of audience on stage, and in front of the TV, already made Xin Siyue incredibly touched. She didnt know how people would feel when they were proposed, but when she watched him talk in deep emotions and lovingly, she really wanted to give him a hug. This thought became more and more intense. In the end, when he gently asked her with expectation, she suddenly threw herself in his arms. She hugged him and nodded her head repeatedly. She said, Yes! Ok! Chen Sinan was ecstatic in his heart. He knew that he was proposing to her in front of the media. If she had any concerns, she wouldve refused. But when she actively embraced him and nodded without hesitation, he couldnt describe the happiness in his heart. He stood up and hugged her back. He chuckled and said in a low voice, Lady Chen, theres no backing out of this! The tears that were in Xin Siyues eyes fell down from his silly words. She reached over to wipe her tears and smiled at him. I wont regret this. You cant regret this either! Mhm, I swear with my whole life. Under everyones intense applause, Chen Sinan wore the ring on Xin Siyues left ring finger. Her fingers were slender and pale, seemingly more beautiful than ever after wearing this sparkling and dazzling ring. He lowered his head and kissed her ring finger. Now, youre really mine. Yes. Xin Siyue nodded firmly. She stood on her tippy toes to embrace him. The show ended in a warm atmosphere. After the show, everyone wanted to find Xin Siyue and ask about her feelings to being proposed in front of tens of millions of people by the handsome, rich, male god. But after looking around in a circle, they couldnt find her. There was no need to intentionally report or announce Chen Sinans proposal to Xin Siyue because the audience had done its job. Whatever one should or shouldnt know, everyone found out. Xin Siyues fans were ecstatic and cheerful. With regards to Chen Sinans fans, however, they exploded. They ran to his Weibo and posted comments of them crying. The majority of the users were calm and commented, Show some affection to singles! Chen Sinan and Xin Siyues friends found out about this one after the other. Mao Shiyuan and Zhuang Zhu called Chen Sinan and the latter turned his phone off without sparing a look. After Xin Siyue got in the car, she noticed that his phone was turned off. She asked in confusion, Whyd you turn off your phone? I dont want to pick up the call. What? Her phone rang almost immediately after her words. It was Xin Qiancheng. Xin Siyue was about to pick up when Chen Sinan snatched her phone and carelessly turned it off. Hey! Thats my brother! The same goes for your brother! He reached over and sat her on his thigh. He lifted her chin and frantically kissed her. Gu Tong watched the entire process and happily wanted to call Xin Siyue to congratulate her, when she realized that she had turned her phone off for the first time ever. She called again. It was still turned off! That was strange! After Zhong Qin found out her phone was turned off, she sneakily grinned and sent her a message. Wow, you guys just cant keep away from each other. You must be getting it on with him! Mhm. Passion enveloped Chen Sinan. After the kiss was over, Xin Siyue panted for air and became confused and disoriented. Chen Sinan drove the car back to her neighborhood, exceeding the speed limit. Xin Siyue got into the elevator and was trapped in the corner by him, enduring another round of passionate makeout. She was still conscious and pushed him, reminding, There are security cameras! I blocked it. Chen Sinan vaguely said in a low voice. He reached over and held her waist, bringing her closer to his warm and burning body. Xin Siyue exited the elevator and went into her house. She was still disoriented. Before she could look at her surroundings and close the door, Chen Sinan pressed her against the back of the door. Their tongues were intertwined, playing with each other. Chapter 147 - The Night Is Long (2) Chen Sinan carried her to the bedroom. Their clothes and shoes were scattered on the ground and they couldnt care enough to clean up the mess. The moment Xin Siyues back touched the soft bed, it was suddenly dark. Chen Sinan took off his bothersome shirt. He lowered his head and kissed her again. Kiss, tangle, tease. Xin Siyue couldnt breath. Slowerslow down When Chen Sinan heard this, he moved his way down her lips. He kissed her chin, neck, collarboneleaving a path of faint hickeys. Xin Siyue looked up uncomfortably. She couldnt stop the panting They took their clothes off and candidly looked at each other. Their bodies were touching Chen Sinans fingers slowly slid over her skin, leaving kiss after kiss. Xin Siyue trembled from this torture. Her sensitive body could feel his fingertips warmth and his lips on her. She hummed and moved, wanting to be away from him. He easily pulled her back. He lowered his head and gently kissed her eyebrows, tip of her nose, lips, earlobes He gently bit her and noticed her body trembling. Then her originally faint red earlobes became crimson. His eyes darkened a bit and his fingers slipped into a certain area. He said with a hoarse and sexy voice, Relax, otherwise youll be uncomfortable in a bit. After all, Xin Siyue hadnt experienced this in her two lives. Although she read a lot of novels and seen scenes like this, she was a bit lost and confused when she was really experiencing this. She tried her best to calm down. She relaxed her breathing but realized that she was still very nervous. She slightly moved over and slid her slender and soft hands over his neck. She buried her burning face in his shoulders and murmured unsteadily, Be gentle Chen Sinans eyes were smiling. He kissed the side of her neck and he deeply exclaimed, I will. The night was long and the room fell into a passionate paradise. After Xin Siyue experienced the initial pain, her tears flowed down her cheeks. Thankfully, he soothed her right away and then she slowly got used to it. They sunk into euphoria. What the two didnt know was that while they were being sweet and affectionate with one another, the two families elders called them multiple times. However, their phones were turned off. Chen Familys elders directly called Xin Familys elders and they had an enjoyable conversation. They even made plans to meet up tomorrow and discuss about their kids marriage. When Xin Siyue woke up the next morning, she noticed the bright ray of sunlight penetrating the window. It was clearly late morning. When she remembered she had to go to work, she quickly sat up and tugged a certain area. She felt the fiery burning pain. She hissed and knitted her eyebrows. She looked down to see her naked body and her chest full of hickeys. She immediately thought of the bashful scene last night. Then, she immediately pulled the blankets over to cover herself. Her body was entirely sore and painful. She laid back and pulled the covers over her head. Mhm. She wanted to go back to sleep. But when she saw the blankets patterns, she realized that it wasnt her blanket at all. Arent you afraid of suffocating yourself? The clear voice rang. Xin Siyue remained unmoved. Chen Sinan dried his hair with a towel and scrunched his eyebrows. He walked over and sat by the side of the bed. He reached over and pulled the blankets down. Youd even pant from kissing. What gives you the guts to put blankets over your head? Seeing that he just finished taking a shower and looked refreshed, Xin Siyue moved into his arms and rubbed against him. She mumbled, Im tired. Chen Sinan reached over and patted her messy hair down. He smiled and said, If youre tired, just go back and sleep. But I still need to go to work Even if she hurried there now, shed still be late. I already requested a leave of absence for you. Her eyes brightened at the news. Really? Yes. Xin Siyue linked her hands with him and sweetly said, Why are you so nice? Chen Sinan looked down to see her pale white skin under her collarbone. He lost his control his last night and there were marks all around. He kissed her forehead and lowly chuckled. If I didnt request an absence for you, do you think you can get out of bed today? And have the strength to wear heels and continue to work? Xin Siyue was speechless. No. Her legs didnt feel like hers anymore. It was all his fault! It was her first time and he enticed her last night into having another round Xin Siyue kept her head buried in his arms, not leaving no matter what. You have to stay with me today. Ok, I will. He continued to ask, So, Lady Chen, do you want to keep sleeping, or you want this servant to help you shower, or eat first? Xin Siyue chuckled. Hm, let me think about it. While she was thinking about her options, she was a bit curious. Where is this place? I remembered that we were in my neighborhood. How come were not in my house? Chen Sinan pecked her and smiled. Your bed is too small. I have a double bed. Xin Siyue argued. Who knew that he shamelessly responded, Its too small and uncomfortable to roll around in. Xin Siyue was embarrassed. Chapter 148 - He’s Getting Married (1) Ch.148 Hes Getting Married (1) Xin Siyue took a comfortable warm shower. She was placed on Chen Sinans lap while they took their time eating breakfast. By the time she turned her phone back on, she just realized numerous people had sent her messages and she received many missed calls. Her family had called her the most. While Xin Siyue was scrolling through the messages, she complained, Look what you did! Chen Sinan reached over and pinched her waist. He helped massage her waist in order to relieve her soreness. He chuckled lowly and said, If I dont turn your phone off, do you plan on picking up the phone while were in the middle of doing our thing? You Xin Siyue noticed that he was able to casually talk about this like talking about todays weather. He reallyis shameless. She reached over and poked his face. President Chen, arent you supposed to be cold and indifferent? It seems like youve tossed that to the other side of the world! Ill only lose my face in front of you. Chen Sinan said this and lowered his head, kissing her. He teased and played with her tongue. At first, Xin Siyue was avoiding him. But after his persistent pestering, she tossed the phone out of her hand and rolled on top of him. She cupped his face and returned the kiss with just as much passion. Chen Sinan enjoyed her taking initiative. He held her waist and lifted his head in order to allow her to do as she wanted. After a while, Xin Siyue clearly felt the change in his body. She was embarrassed and wanted to get off him, but Chen Sinan held onto her. Xin Siyues face was red and she said unsteadily, Calm down. Chen Sinan helplessly placed his hand under her dress. Lady Chen, you want to leave after teasing me? Xin Siyue said, I really cant. It hurts. Chen Sinan knew his boundaries and he was just scaring her anyway. He buried his head on her chest. Ok, let me hug you for a while. Therefore, after he hugged and teased her a while, Chen Sinan let her go. He had no choice but to do so because Chen An had called him. When the phone rang, Chen Sinan harshly sucked the side of her neck. He hoarsely said, One day, Ill make you pay for it! Xin Siyue trembled when she heard this. She hurriedly got off him and sat on the other side of the sofa. She watched as he picked up the phone and she remained well-behaved. Chen Sinan answered him and said, Father. Chen Sinan glanced at her after Chen An said something to him. He faintly smiled. Mhm, Ill find time to bring her over in a few days. Xin Siyues instinct was that he was referring to herself. After he hung up, she saw Chen Sinan staring at her meaningfully. She nervously asked, What did your father say? Chen Sinan lazily said, He will be your father not long from now. Xin Siyue couldnt retort. Were not even married yet! Chen Sinan glanced at her. Father called to tell us that the elders had made plans to talk about our marriage. Coincidentally, theyre all there now. Xin Siyue was speechless once again. She looked dumbstruck and asked, That cant be? This quick? Its not that quick. I already proposed to you. We do need to set an earlier date. Xin Siyue didnt know what to say. It felt like he was right but something felt wrongDid she fall into Chen Sinans trap? Chen Sinan decided to return to Sheng Jin City in the afternoon. Xin Siyue originally made an excuse, saying that she was uncomfortable and lacked strength. Who knew that he threatened, If you have no energy, I dont mind carrying you the entire way there once were off the plane. Xin Siyue didnt want to be on the headlines again so she listened to him. She changed her clothes and found a pair of comfortable shoes to wear. She dejectedly hung her head down. The plane landed in the evening. Xin Siyue wanted to go home first but Chen Sinan said, Your parents are at my home. She was sincerely frightened. She gloomily followed him to visit her parents. She was incomparably nervous that she naturally wasnt in the mood to admire the style and landscape of the Chen Residence. The moment she entered the living room, she noticed that Xin Jin, Old Man Chen, as well as Chen An, were chatting happily. Meanwhile, Bai Ning and Weng Yinlin were preparing dinner in the kitchen. Xin Siyue was somewhat ill at ease. After greeting her father, she looked at the two elders of the Chen Family and respectively greeted Grandfather Chen and Uncle. Chen Sinan stood by her side and he placed one arm over her shoulder. He corrected her, Its grandfather and father. Xin Siyue turned around when he undermined her. She gave him a look, indicating him to behave. Old Man Chen chuckled when he saw their interaction. A-Nan is right. After a while, you will have to change the way you address us. You might as well start getting used to it now. Xin Siyue faintly smiled, a bit embarrassed. Weng Yinlin walked out of the kitchen and saw the two. She hurriedly said, Siyue, you guys are here. Go ahead and tidy up. Dinner is in a few. Xin Siyue was embarrassed to stay in the living room while Weng Yinlin was cooking. She hurried to the kitchen to help out. Chapter 149 - He’s Getting Married (2) Ch.149 Hes Getting Married (2) Xin Siyue listened to the two families elders cheerful conversation. From that, she realized that they seemed to have picked a date for their wedding already. It was at the end of April. Xin Siyue was shocked. Wasnt there less than two months before April? She wanted to ask if it was too quick when Chen Sinan who had been silently eating said, Ill listen to grandfather. Old Man Chen was very pleased. As a child, this boy had frequently resisted his orders. It was rare for him to be on the same side as him this time. After dinner, they cleaned up. Then, Weng Yinlin had Chen Sinan take Xin Siyue upstairs for a tour while the elders were talking about the details for the wedding. Xin Siyue closed the door and said, Wouldnt the end of April be a bit early? No. Chen Sinan said directly. Your name is Siyue and well be married by the end of April. It would be most suitable like this. Xin Siyue glanced at him and was still a bit hesitant. Im not prepared for everything. There are so many things we need to do before the wedding. Will we make it on time? Chen Sinan knew that she was restless. He embraced her and comforted, Dont worry. You got me and the family on top of the wedding details. Just remain calm while doing your job. When the time comes, you just need to stay happy and be the most beautiful bride! Xin Siyue was silent momentarily before she looked up at him. She smiled and nodded. Ok, fine! Youre in charge of the wedding. I have no experience. Chen Sinan kissed her hard and said, If you had experience, I probably would harshly punish you. Xin Siyues smile was like a flower blooming. She reached over and hugged him, remaining in his arms. They already settled the date of the wedding. The hot search and headlines on the internet hadnt lost its popularity yet, so Chen Sinan @ Xin Siyue on Weibo and announced their wedding date. Xin Siyue received a lot of private Weibo messages and comments. She didnt have time to look at them through. It was Gu Tong who reminded her, Two months from now, youll be officially married. I better be one of the bridesmaids Xin Siyue was confused. How do you know Im getting married that day? Gu Tong laughed and said, President Chen already posted this on Weibo, announcing to the whole world. Xin Siyue logged into her Weibo and realized that he really did @ her on Weibo. Then, she noticed that she hadnt even followed him yet. After she did, she forwarded the post. She didnt dare to say too much but she responded with a bright red heart emoji. Mhm. PDA. Dog food. The users probably wouldve exploded again. When Xin Siyue thought of this, she couldnt help but chuckle. She was actually looking forward to showing off their love! After Sheng Wenyang saw the picture Mo Bei intentionally sent her, she was off the grid. Seeing that she hadnt responded to him, Mo Bei texted, Last night, you said that he might be acting for the show. Look at todays Weibo. You should wake up now. Mo Bei told her time after time. Theres nothing she could do to intervene between Chen Sinan and Xin Siyues relationship. He wanted to remind her once again, thinking that he had been giving earnest and thoughtful advice. She remained silent. In the end, Mo Bei sent one last message: If you want to drink, you can come find me. In the middle of the night, Sheng Wenyang called him out to drink as expected. By the time Mo Bei arrived, Sheng Wenyang was already completely drunk. She couldnt tell if she was laughing or crying when he walked over. Hes going to be married! Hes really going to be married! Its impossible between me and him now, right? Mo Bei, why do you have to harshly remind me time after time that I cant have him!? Why Mo Bei allowed her to tug on his lapel and he watched as her tears fell like rain. Because the Sheng Wenyang that I know should be a strong, independent, and smart woman. She has ambition and perseverance. She can also be ruthless but she shouldnt lose her pride for a man. Sheng Wenyang should be living with arrogance and integrity. Mo Bei said this then paused. Actually, I like you more when you were abroad. You were confident, charming, and dazzling. Wenyang, wake up. Its impossible between you and Chen Sinan. Dont blame me for not reminding you. Dont think about stopping their wedding or try to obstruct Xin Siyue. Even if you have your way, Chen Sinan will never forgive you. The only answer he received was Sheng Wenyangs uncontrollable sobs. It seemed like she just understood that Chen Sinan never placed her in his heart. He was going to be married and she had no chances. When she was abroad, there were numerous restless nights when she thought about how drastically her life wouldve changed had she not gone abroad to make herself a worthy match for Chen Sinan. If she had bravely stood by his side back then, would the result be different now? But everything was too late now. She couldnt change the past or future. Chapter 150 - Welcome Back, Lady Chen (1) Ch.150 Welcome Back, Lady Chen (1) Chen Sinan had to prepare for their wedding now. After sending Xin Siyue back to A City, he stayed there shortly before hurrying back to Shengjin City. Xin Siyue went to work per usual. However, she could feel her colleagues bright gazes on her. There were numerous people teasing her as well. Many media companies knew that the two were about to get married. They made appointments with Xin Siyue, planning on interviewing her. Xin Siyue naturally rejected the offer. She called Chen Sinan and purposefully laughed. President Chen, thank you so much. You really bumped my popularity up another level. Due to this, she became busier with her work. There were countless people inviting her to host charities and galas. Chen Sinan spun the pen in his hand and smiled. Yes, youre welcome, Lady Chen. Xin Siyue was speechless. Of course she couldnt compliment him! The blissful days were short. An accident occurred one day. This day, Xin Siyue was outside hosting a charity event in order to help impoverished children. When the event was over, she noticed that Xin Qiancheng and Chen Sinan had both given her a few calls. She knew that Xin Qiancheng wouldnt have called her so many times if it wasnt so important. Therefore, she called him back first. Xin Qianchengs voice was deep and gloomy. He said, Dont be overly anxious. What? When Xin Siyue heard his tone, she knew something had happened. Brother, whats going on? Xin Qiancheng looked at Chen Sinan who was staring expressionlessly back at him. He then chatted a bit with his assistant before replying, Mother and father got into an accident. Theyre in the emergency room right now. Xin Siyue was stunned and forgot how to react momentarily. Xin Qiancheng wanted to continue when Chen Sinan snatched his phone. Ill talk to her. He comforted her, Dont be nervous. Were already in the hospital and we have the best medical team in the emergency room. Mother and Father will be fine. Xin Siyue felt a sudden coldness on her cheeks. She touched her face to realize that she had cried. She hurriedly wiped her tears and trembled while saying, I will come over right away. Dont be anxious. I already had Assistant Wang book the flight ticket for you. Do you need me to send him over to A City to pick you up? No, I can do it myself. Chen Sinan could tell she was pretending to be calm and strong. He said, When youre at the airport, call me. Ill come and pick you up. No need. I can go over by myself. Xin Siyue bit her lip and couldnt control her urge to ask, Chen Sinan, my parents will be fine, right? Dont worry. Nothing will happen. Xin Siyue hurried to Shengjin City in a daze. The moment she got off the plane, she received Assistant Wangs call. He had been waiting for her. He quickly drove her over to the hospital. The closer Xin Siyue was to her destination, the more restless and frightened she was. Unexpectedly, Chen Sinan was waiting for her at the hospital door. She got out of the car to see him walking to her. He reached over and carried her bag for her, and then he held her hands. He rubbed his thumb over the palm of her hand, comforting, Our parents will be fine. Xin Siyues eyes turned red and teary. She wanted to jump in his arms immediately but because countless people were here, she held her urge in the end. She choked with emotions and asked, Was the surgery successful? Very successful. Theyre fine. Dont worry. Xin Siyue nodded and swallowed the bitterness in her throat. God bless theyre fine! God bless theyre fine! Chen Sinan brought her over to the ward. The moment they were at the door, Xin Qiancheng walked out. He closed the door and saw her pale white face, along with her teary red eyes. He said, The doctor said mother and father need to remain calm during their recovery. You can go in to visit them but dont stay there for too long. Ok. Xin Siyue softly pushed the door in and walked to the bed. She slowed down and tried to be silent. The two originally healthy people now laid on the bed with pale faces. Xin Siyue recalled the past event and couldnt hold in the urge to cry. She quietly stared at them and then recollected herself before walking out the door. She just opened the door when she heard Xin Qiancheng whisper, I told you not to notify her but you insisted. Look at how worried she is right now. Dont you feel bad? Chen Sinan was silent. After a while, he said, She has a right to know. Xin Siyue remained unmoved. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she liked and relied on Chen Sinan a lot. He understood her and knew what she wanted. He could make her feel at ease. He was always her strongest shield. She knew that if Xin Jin and Bai Ning got into an accident and if Xin Qiancheng chose not to tell her in order to prevent her from being upset, she would definitely blame him in the future once she found out the truth. She was their daughter but lately, she wasnt doing a good job. Brother. When Xin Siyue thought of this, tears flowed down her cheeks. Dont blame him. Im already feeling guilty that I wasnt able to be with them in the first moments when they got into an accident. If you decided to hide this from me, I wont be able to forgive myself even more. Siyue Brother, mother and father are out of danger, right? Yes, dont worry. Then he heard her ask, How did they get into a car accident all of a sudden? Chapter 151 - Welcome Back, Lady Chen (2) Ch.151 Welcome Back, Lady Chen (2) Xin Qiancheng became silent at this question. Xin Siyue looked at him confusedly. Its not a simple accident, right? He then said, Father and mother planned to go to a concert today, but they got into a car accident on their way there. After the accident, the culprit ran away. Its still under investigation right now. I looked at the security footage my assistant sent and it seems intentional. Xin Siyue knitted her eyebrows tightly. Intentionally? Just like when someone wanted to kill her and Chen Sinan? Was it really the culprit Sheng Wenyang was talking about? Xin Siyue mocked herself for being too stupid. She had completely forgotten about this time bomb after experiencing blissful and peaceful days. She glanced at Xin Qiancheng then at Chen Sinan. She said, Is it the same person as last time? She noticed that Chen Sinan squinted his eyes when he heard this. Xin Qiancheng looked at him too. Chen Sinan was silent momentarily before he exclaimed in a deep voice, Maybe we can start investigating from that person. Xin Siyue saw that Xin Qiancheng had a gloomy face, clearly knowing what Chen Sinan was talking about. She hurriedly asked, Who? Shi Shi. Xin Siyue scrunched her eyebrows. Her? After they confirmed the direction of investigation, Xin Qiancheng and Chen Sinan each used their networks to help investigate the woman. The elders of the Xin Family woke up the next day. Seeing that all three of them were present, they couldnt help but ask, Why are you guys all here? Father, you guys just need to rest. Well take care of the rest. Xin Jin knew that this wasnt an accident. That worn down car had driven over at such an extreme speed that he knew that it was meant for them. It felt like the driver wouldnt have given up unless they died in the car accident. He recalled that the Xin Family had never offended anyone before. Then why did this person hate them so much? He was heavily injured. Since Xin Qiancheng insisted on leaving the matters to them, hed trust them. In the following days, Xin Siyue requested many days of absence from work in order to accompany them. She would make trips between the house and the hospital every day. Chen Sinan would cancel meetings and dinner invitations from time to time in order to pick her up. Sometimes, he would stay at the hospital at night with her. This day, Xin Qiancheng stayed the night with the parents in the hospital. He shooed Xin Siyue home to rest. In less than a week, Xin Siyues face had lost some of its fat and there were bags under her eyes. Chen Sinan originally wanted to take her home, but thinking that she would be the only one there, he decided to bring her back to his house. After Xin Siyue got in the car, she was on the verge of falling asleep. When they arrived at his apartment, Chen Sinan carried her out of the car. Xin Siyue placed her hand on his shoulder and asked confusedly, Are we home? Yes, you can continue to sleep. You got me. Ok. When she finished her words, Xin Siyue found a comfortable spot on him and peacefully fell back asleep. When she woke up the next morning, it was quite early. But because she had a great sleep last night, she was refreshed. She rolled over to see Chen Sinan sleeping by her side. His breath was even and she couldnt help but observe him for a while. Then, she reached over and kissed his face. After that, she went to the kitchen. After Chen Sinan woke up, he patted the spot next to him. The blanket had no warmth anymore. Clearly, she had been up for a while. After he rinsed, he walked downstairs. He noticed that she was wearing an apron and busying herself in the kitchen. Seeing him standing by the kitchen door and staring at her, she smiled. Youre up? We can eat breakfast. She prepared a light breakfast, but made some soup for her parents. Chen Sinan walked over and hugged her from behind. He lowered his head and kissed her earlobes. He reminded her, Dont exhaust yourself. Im not tired. She became silent for a while before she continued, A-Nan, I want to discuss something with you. Ok. I already informed my workplace a few days ago. I will be quitting the job. Chen Sinan stopped kissing her and asked, Do you need my help? Xin Siyue shook her head. I already contacted Shengjin Citys TV Station. They welcomed me to join them. Chen Sinan slightly smiled and said in a low voice, Ok! Welcome back, Lady Chen. Xin Siyue couldnt help but grin too. She had considered moving her work back to Shengjin City for a long time and finally made the decision now. Firstly, it was just more convenient for her to take care of her parents. Secondly, she would be married soon. It was better to keep her family and work in the same city. It would save her the time to travel back and forth. However, I need to catch them up with my work. Plus, I also need to do some tidying. Ok, Ill come with you in a few days. After Gu Tong found out Xin Siyue had quit her job, she smiled and said, At this rate, it feels like youre really ready to form a family with Chen Sinan! We are going to be married soon anyway. Its better if I come back now. Gu Tong supported her too. Thats true. Your familys in this city as well. Oh right, remember to contact me after you get back. We can go out for lunch. Otherwise, the next time we see each other will probably be on your wedding. Xin Siyue grinned. That works! Chapter 152 - Lin Hui (1) Ch.152 Lin Hui (1) Xin Siyue returned to A City to complete the procedures while Chen Sinan accompanied her. But because of an urgent matter in the company, he had no choice but to hurry back to Sheng Jin City. That night, Xin Siyue and her colleagues gathered together for dinner. The next morning, she invited Gu Tong out for breakfast. What shocked her was that Xia Qiao came too. From what she knew, Xia Qiao had been hosting a tourism variety show. Therefore, he would be constantly on the move. She hadnt seen him in a while. Xin Siyue noticed that Xia Qiao became tanner and skinnier. She asked him, Is the new show tiring? Xia Qiao replied, Its ok. Its just hot over there. Xin Siyue faintly smiled. Take care of yourself. Mhm. As Xia Qiao said this, he finally looked up at her. He opened his mouth but didnt say anything else in the end. They were all A Colleges students. Xin Siyue naturally didnt mind Xia Qiao tagging along. This was good. At least they could all gather together for a last meal before she had to go. Seeing that Xia Qiao looked down and wasnt saying anything, Gu Tong helped to warm the atmosphere up. Siyue, you already contacted the people at Sheng Jin City about your work? Yes. The interview that day was very successful. Gu Tong smiled and said, Of course! Based on your popularity, its the TV Stations loss for not accepting you! Dont say it like that. In a new workplace, I would have to start everything over. Gu Tong patted her chest and promised, Dont worry! I believe you! Hm, ok! Xin Siyue laughed too. They had a happy meal together. But in between the conversation, Xia Qiao didnt talk much. Xin Siyue could feel his careful gaze on her occasionally mixed with an unknown feeling. On the way back, Xin Siyue and Gu Tong walked together. She asked Gu Tong, Are you for real when you told me you were going to pursue Xia Qiao last time? Gu Tong immediately admitted, Of course its true! Then hows it going for you guys now? Gu Tong thought about it before replying, Mission not accomplished. I will work harder! Youre going to have to work harder. Ill be waiting to attend your wedding feast! To Xin Siyue, Gu Tong and Xia Qiao are her two best friends in this city. If they could be together in the future, that would be the best. Ill try my best! Ill either succeed or die trying! Xin Siyue returned the words she had said to her, Dont worry, I believe in you! After bidding farewell with Gu Tong, Xin Siyue returned to her apartment to pack up her things. Chen Sinan said that if she enjoyed being here, they could come live here frequently if they had time in the future. Therefore, Xin Siyue didnt plan on packing everything. She simply packed essential items. When she finished packing up in the evening, Chen Sinan called her and asked when she would be back. Xin Siyue thought about it before replying, In a bit, in another hour. Ill have Assistant Wang book a plane ticket for you. Ok, thank Assistant Wang for me. Chen Sinan hummed in agreement before he continued, How about me? How do you plan on thanking me? This Xin Siyue purposefully said, I dont want to thank you. Plus, I dont need to either. Chen Sinan smiled faintly. He was pleased that she didnt treat him as a stranger. He reminded, Be careful on your way. I probably dont have time to pick you up later so I will have Assistant Wang pick you up. Thats unnecessary. I can go back myself. Chen Sinan allowed her to have her way. When the plane landed in Sheng Jin City, it was nighttime. The airport was bustling with people. Xin Siyue dragged her suitcase as she walked. She wore a white double breasted coat and sunglasses. As she walked, her figure and temperament attracted many peoples gazes. But before she could walk out of the airport, she was suddenly stopped by a man. The man wore a gray suit but his suit wasnt like Chen Sinans, meticulous. His suit was a bit wrinkled and his blue tie was also crooked. Xin Siyue stopped walking and looked at the man in front of her through her black sunglasses. He had an ok appearance and she confirmed multiple times before coming to the conclusion that she didnt know him. Xin Siyue took off her sunglasses and asked, Mr, you are? The moment she said this, numerous paparazzi surrounded them. Before Xin Siyue figured out what happened, that man rushed over and hugged her. He sobbed and said as if he was wronged, Wife, wife, I finally found you! Xin Siyue wouldve never thought she was called wife under these circumstances. Chen Sinan had never called her that. He loved calling her wifey. Comparing the two, Xin Siyue just realized how disgusting it was for the man to call her wife. He didnt have a fresh and pleasant smell like Chen Sinan. There was also a strong smell of smoke and sweat on him. Chapter 153 - Lin Hui (2) Chapter 153 Lin Hui (2) Xin Siyue struggled to free herself from him but he seemed to be on guard. He hugged her tightly and refused to let go. She couldnt even move her arms. Let go! You got the wrong person! Quickly let me go! No! Theres no way I got the wrong person! Youre Xin Siyue, my wife! I dont even know you! The cameras and phones flashed nonstop. Xin Siyue was trapped in the middle. She couldnt struggle free or even escape. There were numerous people who recognized her and they had all sorts of conversation. Isnt she Xin Siyue? Wasnt she going to marry Chen Sinan? Heaven! That man called her his wife! Did she make Chen Sinan a cuckold? Whoa, who knew that she was a beautiful but immoral woman! Its really the annual show When Xin Siyue heard the comments, she had a grim expression. Im telling you that if you dont let me go, Ill make sure youll have to face the consequences! Xin Siyue shook from anger. Her clothes were infected by his smell and it was a pungent smell. Wife, dont be with that man with surname Chen. I will do my best to earn money and support the family! Who exactly are you?! Wife! I am Lin Hui! Youre my wife. Theres no way I wouldve mistaken you for someone else! Lin Hui Xin Siyues mind went blank and then it seemed like she remembered something. Heh. She calmed down and said, You said were married. Then do you remember your tragic death the night we were married? His expression stiffened when he heard this. While he was shocked, Xin Siyue harshly kicked his private part. He groaned and clenched in pain while she hurriedly dragged her suitcase and walked off. The paparazzi surrounding them still wanted to take pictures when Xin Siyue turned around. She said cruelly, If you guys want your company to go bankrupt tomorrow, follow as you wish! Dare to see if Chen and Xin Family has the capabilities to do this or not. It might be because she looked extremely serious and her voice was full of anger, but she stunned everyone and they remained unmoved. Xin Siyue first called Xin Qiancheng. Brother, I want you to beat someone up for me. Xin Qiancheng was quite surprised at her request. Who bullied you? That bastard took advantage of me. Xin Qiancheng didnt ask for the details, only a name. Lin Hui. After Xin Siyue hung up, she sat in the car and felt her labored breathing. She was really angry. Bastard! Why did Lin Hui suddenly appear? He even knew that he was married with the female side lead of the novel. But ever since she transmigrated, she had never seen him. She suddenly thought of something. Was it possible he was reborn? But she tested him. Looking at his expression, he didnt seem to know. After pondering over this matter, the only possibility was that someone incited him. This person probably knew of the development of the novel as well So, it wasnt just her who transmigrated into this book? Who could it be? Xin Siyue thought hard about this but still couldnt come up with a conclusion. At this time, she received Chen Sinans call. The moment she saw his name, Xin Siyue felt her unease heart calming down. She answered the call and wanted to say something, but she realized that she choked with feelings. She couldnt say anything. On the other hand, was his incomparably anxious voice. Where are you? Xin Siyue looked at the road and gave him an address. Chen Sinan said nothing but, Ill come over to pick you up. When Xin Siyue heard he was going to pick her up, she got out of the car and waited by the side of the road. Chen Sinan arrived quickly. He parked his car and quickly got out. Before Xin Siyue could see the color of his tie, she was brought tightly into his arms. Sorry, I came late. Xin Siyue buried her head in his arms and breathed in his cool and pleasant smell. She couldnt help but greedily take in his scent. Then she hurriedly pushed him, Theres a smell on me. What? That man has an unpleasant smell When Xin Siyue said this, she noticed that Chen Sinans face turned incredibly gloomy. He held her hands and they got in the car. Then he drove the car to his apartment. When Xin Siyue got out of the shower, she saw Chen Sinan calling someone by the balcony. Settle this matter for me. I dont want to see any news of it. Also, investigate thoroughly. I want to know who he is. Once Chen Sinan finished saying this, he detected footsteps coming closer. He turned around and the air around him became warmer. He placed his phone away and smiled at her. Youre done? Yes. Xin Siyue wore a white robe and her hair was still dripping. Chen Sinan took a clean towel over and wiped her hair for her. You. Theres not a moment you would save me from worry. So, youre upset at me? Lady Chen, I dont dare. Xin Siyue snorted and asked him, You already know? Dont you think I should know in the first moments? This angry tone Xin Siyue thought. Hm, she said something wrong. Chapter 154 - You Feel Wronged? (1) Chapter 154 You Feel Wronged? (1) Xin Siyue knew that she had said the wrong thing and she felt the air around Chen Sinan turning colder. Once she saw his gloomy face, she hurriedly reached over to hug hm. She acted cute, Honey, Im wrong! Chen Sinan didnt push her away but didnt return the hug either. He coldly asked, What did you do wrong? Xin Siyue adapted to her current situation and said, I shouldve told you the moment I was in trouble. Xin Siyue, do you think Im only angry because of this? Xin Siyue lowered her head and rubbed her face against his arms. I know, I know. Youre scared that I might get in an accident. But it happened too suddenly and my mind was a mess. I wanted to call you but I couldnt even explain what happened. How do you want me to explain this to you As Xin Siyue continued, her voice became a whisper. Chen Sinan listened to her voice and helplessly asked, You feel wronged? Xin Siyue retorted, Of course! A random man suddenly ran over and called me his wife. Hed taken advantage of me! How could I not feel wronged?! Even having my brother beat him up wont make me any less angry! You havent even called me thathe had really taken advantage of me! Listening to her angry but upset words, Chen Sinan comforted, Dont be upset. Well get revenge for everything he had done! If you still cant vent your anger, well make him pay double! Xin Siyue felt his palm gently patting her back as if comforting her. She looked up at him and softly asked, You believe me? Were you not suspicious of that person? I was suspicious of that person but youre my wife. Why would I go and believe a random stranger instead of you? Chen Sinan There are a lot of suspicious points here. He looked deeply at her and asked, Have you seen him before? Xin Siyue shook her head. I dont know him. Although she knew that person had married the original Xin Siyue later on. After he was caught with adultery, he were ruthlessly murdered. He didnt deserve to live and harm others. But she couldnt tell Chen Sinan anything. Xin Siyue thought about it before asking, Do you think someone is behind what happened today? Chen Sinan was silent momentarily before he responded, In the future, Ill take you out. You have to pay attention to your surroundings. Otherwise, Ill send two bodyguards to look over you. Xin Siyue immediately rejected. Thats not necessary. I need to report to the TV Station tomorrow! Hearing her rejection, Chen Sinan was a bit unhappy. Xin Siyue hurriedly added on, I promise that whatever happens, I will try my best to escape safely! My safety will be my top priority, ok? Chen Sinan sighed. You have to protect yourself. Regarding todays matter, leave it to me. Ok. After Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan had a simple lunch, the two returned to Xin Family to visit Xin Jin and Bai Ning. They recovered pretty good and because there was a personal doctor at home, they decided to leave the hospital a few days early. When Xin Siyue saw the two of them, she happily greeted, Father, mother. They had weird expressions on their face. She looked at the two and then at Chen Sinan. Uncle, aunt, whats the matter? Chen Sinan asked first. Xin Jin said, Sinan, sorry to trouble you but please have a seat in the living room for a while. Your aunt and I have to talk to Siyue. Chen Sinan looked at their expressions and continued, Uncle, aunt, are you guys referring to what happened at the airport? When he mentioned this, Xin Jin and Bai Ning both held awkward expressions. Chen Sinan explained, This was probably intentional. They have a simple motive. Drive a wedge between me and Yueer. At the same time, give her a bad reputation. That way, the elders will have bad impressions of her and secondly, the audience who had been supporting her would also become her anti-fans. When Chen Sinan finished his explanation, the two elders had solemn looks. He chuckled and said, I cant help but say this was a really good plan. Taking out three birds with one stone. When Xin Jin heard this, he looked at Xin Siyue and asked, Siyue, you havent done anything of that sort, right? Xin Siyue felt helpless. Father, mother, who do you think I am? Even Chen Sinan believes me unconditionally. How could you guys be suspicious of me? I really dont know that person and have nothing to do with him. Bai Ning patted her chest. Thankfully you havent. Thankful you havent. When your father and I had seen the comments online, we didnt even know what to do. The comments online? Xin Siyue understood what happened. She explained, Mother, father, one could casually hire online water armies and exaggerate and hype the comments. You guys dont need to worry about this! We will try to resolve this issue quickly! Ok, the sooner you do, the better. Lately, lots of things had happened. Were not sure whos behind this but theyre quite ruthless and cruel Mother, the truth will be revealed one day. As to when the truth will be revealed, lets just watch. After all, there is always a solution to the problem. We wont admit defeat. When Bai Ning heard this, she was slightly at ease. Ok, you have to pay more attention in the future. Safety first. Ok. Chapter 155 - You Feel Wronged? (2) Ch.155 You Feel Wronged? (2) It was getting late. Xin Siyue brought Chen Sinan out. At the door, Chen Sinan asked her, You really dont plan on letting me stay? How could Xin Siyue not know what he was thinking? She smiled and purposefully said, President Chen, you live in Sheng Jin City as well. Its not even a half hour ride home. Even half an hour is too long. Xin Siyue teased, How about you buy a house near my house? Just like in A City. But Chen Sinan said, I cant afford it. Lately, I have been saving money in order to marry my wife. Xin Siyue joked, Oh, you cant afford to marry her? Then dont marry her? Of course not. Even if I have to live a frugal life, I must marry my wife. Humph. Xin Siyue giggled. When were married, I have a valid reason to stay over at your place. When Chen Sinan said this, he walked over and hugged her. He lowered his head and pecked her lips. He let her go and said, Next time, Ill be seeking both capital and profit from you. Xin Siyue pushed him. Hurry back and be careful on your way. Call me when youre home. Ok, Ill pick you up tomorrow morning. Ok. Xin Siyue was reluctant to part with him but watched him leave in the end. Then she returned to her room and accompanied Bai Ning for a while. Bai Ning held her hand and said, Sinan is pretty good. Xin Siyue grinned and said, Mother, dont compliment him in front of his face. Hes quite proud. If you compliment him, he probably will be arrogant for a while. You! Youre loquacious. Xin Siyue felt wronged. I was just saying the truth! Its really rare to see a man like him. You need to treasure him. Once you guys are married in the future, you guys have to learn to accept each others shortcomings and get along with each other. Mother, I know. We will definitely be good together and not let you guys worry. Mother, rest soon and Im going to sleep now. I have to work tomorrow. Then hurry back and sleep. Bai Ning hastily responded. Mother, you too. Xin Siyue returned to her room and her smile faded. She turned her laptop on and logged on Weibo. She noticed that her name was already among the top few names of the rankings for discussion. Under the discussion, insults were hurled at her constantly. After scrolling through the pages, she found out that the people who still supported her were completely outnumbered. There were all sorts of insults. For example, she was called an unchaste person and involved in moral turpitude. She was also branded a mistress who made Chen Sinan a cuckoldThe insults were vivid and colorful as if it was the truth. To her expectation, the video of what happened at the airport wasnt released. After knowing that someone was behind this, Xin Siyue was too lazy to clear her name. As long as she knew that she was innocent. Shed let the users insult her however they like. What she needed to do right now is wait and see. When she went to work the next day, she greeted her new colleagues and got used to the environment. After that, she immediately went into a meeting with the staff of the TV Station. Although she worked in a new place, she was still the host of an interviewing show. This was a walk in the park for her. The TV Station planned on making her the host of the next episode. This time, they would be interviewing the popular writer Shi Shi. When Xin Siyue heard this name, she suddenly looked at the projector in the center of the conference room. The young face was Shi Shi who she hadnt seen for a while. Shi Shi became an instant hit. Her first book was The Chairmans Arrogant Wife. After it was published, it was immediately sold out. Two months on the market, the sales had reached dozens of ten thousands. Because of this, Shi Shi became one of the best sellers of romance novels. There were many readers who hoped that we could interview her and understand her process of writing. Host Xin, we already scheduled a time with her. Its Friday morning. When the time comes, we hope to record her. YouHost Xin? Host Xin? Huh? Xin Siyue suddenly snapped out of her trance from looking at the pictures and cover of the book. While she fumbled about, she accidentally bumped the drinking glass by the upper right corner of her laptop. Xin Siyue hurriedly grabbed a few napkins to wipe her laptop and the wet spot on the table. At the same time, she tried to keep her voice calm, Im fine with that. Everyone looked strangely at her. Even the person standing glanced at her. They nodded and said, Its good that there arent any objections. When the meeting was over, Xin Siyue stared at The Chairmans Arrogant Wifein her hands. She felt it burning. Although the cover and typesetting were completely different, the title was still the same. But the author was someone else. Could it be her? When Xin Siyue returned to her office, she couldnt manage to eat lunch when she hurriedly opened the book to start reading Chapter 156 - You Can Only Have a Bad Ending (1) Ch.156 You Can Only Have a Bad Ending (1) She stopped at the last page. Xin Siyue raised her head, but when she looked at the blurry words on the page, she was unable to describe her feelings. My life had ended like this. Maybe not long from now, no one would ever remember my existence. The end. Xin Siyue already forgot how to express her emotions. She held her breath and she was incredibly shocked right now. She was positive that Shi Shi had transmigrated as well. She was the original author! She was the one who created this world. Although the names in the book had changed, the characters and plot are still the same. The side female lead still paved the way for the male and female lead. After they were together, she still didnt give up. When the female lead had a miscarriage, she was the only one present. Therefore, the male lead believed she was the culprit who killed his child. In order to punish her, he made sure she lost her family! These familiar scenes were basically following the original development of the book. In the end, the female side leads tragic ending was still the same. She married a slag man who had conspired against her. After she was caught with adultery, she was murdered by the slag man. Xin Siyues face was pale white and she was unable to calm down even after a while. When exactly did the author transmigrated over? Or was she already in this world before she transmigrated? This author knew the entire plot. Therefore, she knew that she was the key as to why the plot had diverged from her original expectations. Xin Siyue thought about this and was certain that someone was behind her parents car accident and the numerous times she face danger. The author refused to have someone change the world so she wanted to get rid of her, so that the world would continue its original path. The more Xin Siyue thought about it, the more frightening it was. How could she be so sinister and ruthless? Did she have enmity against her? When Xin Siyue thought of this, she believed this must be the case! The original female side leads name was Xin Siyue. Therefore, she hated herself which is why the author wrote her into the book and arranged a tragic ending for her. So how could she vent her anger when nothing was going her way? But Xin Siyue clearly remembered that in the original world, she didnt recognize anyone who was an author. Plus, she cautiously and conscientiously lived a peaceful life. She didnt remember becoming enemies with anyone. Who are they exactly? Xin Siyue couldnt come up with a conclusion so she sat there for a while. Then she suddenly stood up and picked up her bag and the book on the table. She hurriedly ran out. When Shi Shi received Xin Siyues call, she wasnt that surprised. Instead, she said in an arrogant tone, Host Xin, I hope everythings been fine for you! The moment Xin Siyue heard her tone, she knitted her eyebrows tightly. She said disgustingly, Are you done playing your tricks? How could it be enough? Shi Shi purposefully dragged her words, We still have a long time and I havent shown a lot of my tricks yet. This arrogant tone made Xin Siyue clench her teeth in anger. Again, she was sure that this so-called Shi Shi knew her and held a lot of hatred towards her. She didnt want to go in circles with her on the phone so she directly said, Lets meet. Sure! I have been waiting for this. After Xin Siyue arrived at the meeting spot, she waited another fifteen minutes before Shi Shi who wore a light blue denim coat arrived late. She sat down and took off her sunglasses. She didnt even look at Xin Siyue as she said, If you have something to say, say it quickly. This young misss time is very treasurable! Xin Siyue smiled at her meaningfully. Are you sure you have nothing to say to me? Heh. What a joke. Youre the one who wanted to meet me but you want me to say something first? Xin Siyue, who do you think you are?! I never think Im outstanding or anything. After Xin Siyue said this, she pursed her lips before continued, I always think youre the outstanding person since you have created this world. Once she said this, Xin Siyue saw her expression change visibly as she expected. She was clearly the original author. Instead, Shi Shi laughed. She played with her gorgeous red nails and said, You really think Im that bored that I decided to rewrite the novel? Xin Siyue, frankly speaking, the publisher of the novel was to intentionally cause you trouble. Dont forget that this is a virtual world. I created it. Even if you have everything right now and lived the best life, dont forget that the ending of the novel will never change. You wont die a peaceful death. Chapter 157 - You Can Only Have a Bad Ending (2) Ch.157 You Can Only Have a Bad Ending (2) So what if I cant die a peaceful death? I enjoyed the entire process and received all the love. Even my dream came true. Who cares about the future? Its not something I can worry about right now. Xin Siyue curled her lips. Regarding youcomparing the two of us, you seem miserable. You created this world but youre stuck in it too. Hehwhat bizarre news. I created the world so I can stay for as long as I wish to. But I am positive that if you want to leave here, death is the only way out. Its best if you die! Xin Siyues smile slightly faded. Well, at least I have you to accompany me. You! Shi Shi was infuriated. She harshly glared at her sand said, Stop pretending in front of me. It makes me disgusted with you. Xin Siyue, no matter whether were here or in the other world, you will never live a better life than me! Thats enough for me! So do we know each other? She tested. Dont try to get anything from me. I wont tell you. My guess is that we do. Xin Siyue said to herself. You hate me. You extremely hate me. Yes! I hate you. Every day, I have been praying that you will die a tragic death. Xin Siyue laughed. I cant believe you can write a book in this state of mind. Its quite strange to me. Im only nasty towards you! Well, thats my honor. However, I want to advise you that even if I turn a blind eye towards you, Chen Sinan wont let you go easily. Shi Shi said proudly, Even if he wont let me go easily, so what? Does he have any evidence? Xin Siyue, dont forget that Im the one who created him. I know everything about him. What he likes and what he doesnt like. Even his abilities. I know him better than you. Tell me, how long do you think it will take me to take over him? Xin Siyue said calmly, The day you die. Xin Siyue understood that even though Shi Shi had created Chen Sinan, she was too prideful. Although it was a virtual world, it was also a real world. Chen Sinan was a human being and he has his own thoughts. She understood Chen Sinan. He wont do anything to upset her. Shi Shi didnt mind. Right, seeing that were both from the same hometown, Ill give you another piece of advice. When the book is nearing its end, this world will tumble and fall apart. Nothing will exist in this world anymore. Of course, theres a way for this world to remain as it is. This method is As Shi Shi said this, she purposefully kept this a secret. She stood up and laughed. As long as I die, there will be no threat in this world. It will remain peaceful forever. And my ability to rewrite the plot will disappear as well. Xin Siyue, think carefully. For yourself and this virtual world, are you going to kill me? Hahah. Just thinking about it is funny! I am looking forward to you killing me! Xin Siyue. The sinister laughter pierced her ears more and more as she slowly walked off. Xin Siyue remained seated. However, she felt the hair on her body stand up. Shi Shi was a lunatic. She finally understood the deeper meaning of when Sheng Wenyang said not everyone could remain calm like me. Sheng Wenyang was a rational person. Even though they were enemies, she wasnt driven to desperate actions. Shi Shi was completely the opposite. In this world, she didnt have any concerns or apprehensions. Speaking bluntly, she was looking for death. But before she died, she hoped to pull someone to the underworld with her. Unfortunately, this person was Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue looked at the golden radiance out the window, hinting the presence of the evening. She squinted her eyes. She needed to ponder over Shi Shis words and figure out the validity of her words. What called her attention was Chen Sinans call. He asked her when she was done working because he wanted to take her out for dinner. Xin Siyue gave him an address. Chen Sinan arrived in a bit and Xin Siyue got in the car. He keenly noticed her weird expression. He asked, Who did you go see? Xin Siyue closed her eyes. After that, she tiredly and slowly opened her eyes. She said, Shi Shi. Chen Sinan immediately asked, Are you injured anywhere? He looked up and down at her carefully. Xin Siyue shook her head. No, we just had a chat. She didnt do anything shocking. Plus, there were a lot of people there. She wouldnt dare either. Dont see her next time. Why? Xin Siyue asked. What happened in the past led me to think she was behind this. However, I cant find any evidence. Im having people find those who worked for her. Xin Siyue felt her heart sinking. Could it be because she created her world so she naturally attracted peoples attention? Can you find them? She asked. This is just one of the many ways. If it doesnt work out, there are other ways. How do you plan to handle this? Chen Sinan started the car and casually said, Naturally punish her according to law. If the law cant punish her, then Ill give her a taste of her own medicine.

She half teasingly said to Chen Sinan, Oh right, I forgot to tell you some good news. What? Chen Sinan looked at the road ahead of him. He would look at her from the corner of his eye. Seeing her mischievous smile and sparkling eyes, he knew that she was up to something again. As expected, Xin Siyue propped her chin and seemingly act as if she was in deep thought. A certain Miss Shi wanted to pursue you and she seems to be very confident. Oh? Chen Sinan didnt care that much. So, is Lady Chen jealous? Why would I be jealous? Xin Siyue said generously, If youre really seduced by her, Ill definitely dump you and find someone younger and richer than you. Ill even marry them immediately! Youre not doing your job well, Lady Chen. He looked deeply at her. Xin Siyue purposefully blinked her eyes. She glanced at him, full of emotions. She said firmly, Well, I believe that you wont do something that lacks class. Therefore, President Chen, dont disappoint your Lady Chen! Chen Sinan smiled and retorted, Youre that confident in me? Of course. You have to behave well. Once she finished this, she patted his shoulders as if he carried a heavy burden. Chen Sinan glanced at her and shook his head helplessly. He focused on driving his car. Once he brought her home to Xin Family, she unbuckled her seatbelt and turned around to say goodnight to him. Chen Sinan stared at her attempt to get out of the car. He reached over and grabbed her wrist. He saw in a low voice, Thats it? What? Lady Chen, you want me to behave but arent there any rewards? Xin Siyue wanted to retort when he lifted her chin with his warm fingertips. Then, he kissed her. Chen Sinan pressed her shoulders as the kiss deepened. His hands started to move down. Xin Siyue detected his fingers playing with the hem of her clothes and caressing her waist. She hurriedly reached over to stop his mischievous hand. She shook her head and said in an unclear voice, Dont, dontWere at my house. When Chen Sinan heard this, he slightly calmed down. However, he still breathed heavily. He leaned against her shoulders and tried his best to relax. He tried to entice her, Lets not go home tonight? What? Ill take you over to my place. Xin Siyue was shocked by his warm breath on her. But she maintained her rationality and rejected, My parents havent fully recovered yet! Plus, if she wasnt home in the middle of the night and stayed with Chen Sinan instead, her parents didnt even need to think about what they had done for the night. They probably wouldve guessed what happened. They werent even married yet. Xin Siyue didnt dare to be too presumptuous. The most important thing was that she was scared of losing her face. Therefore, Why dont you hold it in? Xin Siyue suggested in a low voice. Chen Sinan sighed heavily. Its better if I marry you sooner. Xin Siyue soothed her. We will be married soon. Soon In the end, the two lingered for a while before Chen Sinan unwillingly let her go back to her room. When Xin Siyue returned home, she went to sort through her draft. Late at night, she rolled back and forth on her bed and still couldnt fall asleep. She knew that compared to Sheng Wenyang, Shi Shi was harder to deal with. At the very least, Sheng Wenyang was smart. If she tried many times and still couldnt obtain Chen Sinan, she would work to find another way. However, Shi Shi was different. She knew everything about herself, including everything she was unable to predict. Her actions made people feel like she was insane. It was too dangerous to deal with someone like her. Especially her attitude of making you go to the underworld with her. It was a real horror. Xin Siyue knew that if she wanted to live peacefully with Chen Sinan in the future, she would need to get rid of Shi Shi first of all. As long as she was still in this world, Xin Siyue felt threatened. She didnt believe that Shi Shi had the ability to rewrite what happens in this world. Destiny couldnt be controlled. Only people could control their lives. Xin Siyue made a decision to get rid of this insane author as quickly as possible. She was unable to sleep and got out of bed early in the morning. Xin Siyue went to find Xin Qiancheng to discuss the results of their investigation. Xin Qiancheng was eating breakfast when she arrived. He said slowly and gracefully while he was eating, I already had someone investigate this. When you and Chen Sinan faced danger last time, those rascals did receive money from their employer that they were to kill you. What perplexed me was after that day, they all vanished. Right now, I am having people search for them. We found the car who crashed into father and mother. Following the license plate, we found out that the driver was a person with mental disorder. His divorced wife already sold the car two months prior. Therefore, we have no clue who was in the car during the accident. Xin Siyue quietly listened to this. She finally understood why Shi Shi wasnt afraid of anything. She already cut off any clues that they had. Most importantly, she already handled the witness. Xin Siyue had a solemn look. Can you try investigating Lin Hui? Chapter 159 - Mrs. Chen, Are You Jealous? (2) Ch.159 Mrs. Chen, Are You Jealous? (2) Lin Hui was half beaten to death when he finally confessed that a man had come to find him. They said that he will become successful in his career in the future and will marry you. He gave Lin Hui a huge amount of money to act out the scene at the airport. Lin Hui felt that there was no loss to this so he took the money and went to find you. After Xni Siyue listened to this, she coldly humphed. This person would do anything for money! I wont give him any chance to mess around in the future. Xin Qiancheng said positively. What do you mean? Xin Siyue was confused. Xin Qiancheng stared at her before he slowly said, Chen Sinan found out that he was falsifying accounts for the company and using public money. Therefore, he was fired from the company in the first moments. No one would probably dare to hire him anymore. Well, he got off easy. Xin Siyue said ruthlessly. Dont worry. He probably will have to spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed. Brother, you probably Xin Qiancheng looked at her and replied, I did find someone to beat him up. But after I was done, Chen Sinan also found someone to beat him. His people was harsher than mine. Xin Siyue said, Hm, he deserved it! After she was done chatting with Xin Qiancheng, Xin Siyue went to work and thought that since she couldnt find any evidence of the things Shi Shi had done, she had no choice but to lure her out. However, she didnt expect an accident to arrive so quickly. The day of the interview, Xin Siyue felt like she was in a difficult situation. Work was the most important thing for her. She respected Shi Shi and smiled out of politeness. However, Shi Shi didnt cooperate with her. There were daggers hidden in her words. Not only did she mock her, she even started to blabber nonsense on the show. I wrote this novel for a simple motive. In order to take revenge on someone I hate a lot. I also wanted to remind her that her life wont be peaceful and for her to be careful. Once she finished, Shi Shi glared fiercely at her. When she saw that Xin Siyue knitted her eyebrows, her smile became brighter. Xin Siyue laughed and said, Miss Shi, although Ive never written a book, I think that a lot of people would have the same thoughts as me. Words are used to express our feelings and thoughts, not used for revenge. If youre writing with hatred, I believe that you will lose a lot of readers who have been supporting you in the future. Who knows how long this world will exist? Dont you think its quite silly and stupid for you to talk about the future? Xin Siyue looked coldly at her while Shi Shi continued, Theres no point in threatening me either. The TV Station had invited me over but youre not allowing me to speak as I wish? Xin Siyue, it seems like youre fake just like this show. Xin Siyue gazed sharply at her and said, You better restrain yourself! So what if I didnt? Shi Shi said proudly, Do you want to kill me? Xin Siyue, I want to see if you dare to. Unless you never want to enjoy your wealth and happy days that youve stolen from this world anymore! Hahah! Xin Siyue held her hands placed on her knee tightly. She had a burning gaze. Cut, cut, cut! The Director finally couldnt hold it anymore. Miss Shi, since youve agreed to attend this show, please cooperate with us, ok? We cant broadcast this episode with what youve said so far! Shi Shi crossed her arms over her chest and said proudly, You guys were the ones shamelessly begging me to attend your show. Now, you guys dared to lecture me? Humph, you guys are just bullying a weak woman like me because you guys have more people. Miss Shi, youre overstepping your boundaries! The Director tried his best to hold in his anger. Shi Shi laughed. So what if Im overstepping the boundaries? What can you do about it? Whether we can do anything to you depends on whether you have the ability to laugh until the end! Shi Shi, youre not in charge of this world. Xin Siyue couldnt help but exclaim. You think that by replacing Sheng Wenyang, youre the right and proper female lead? Let me tell you. Dont even think about it. I already have rewritten the novels ending. You will only be Sheng Wenyangs substitute and you will happily die for her. Regarding Chen Sinan Whatever happens to me is the least of your concerns. Shi Shi was in the middle of her words when a deep and stern male voice took over. Xin Siyue almost immediately glanced over when she heard the voice. From afar, Chen Sinan wore a black suit and was walking closer and closer. Xin Siyue received his gaze and she hurriedly walked over to him. Why did you come? Chen Sinan reached over to place his arm over her thin and weak shoulders. Im scared that something might happen to you so I came over to take a look. I even brought someone over. What? Xin Siyue looked shockingly at him. Then her attention was attracted by the two young men wearing black suits who were led by Assistant Wang. The person walking in front slightly nodded at Chen Sinan and then walked towards Shi Shi Chapter 160 - The World’s Existence (1) Ch.160 The Worlds Existence (1) That man nodded at Chen Sinan and then walked towards Shi Shi. Xin Siyue looked confusedly at Chen Sinan. He smiled and reassured her. Xin Siyue was shocked and her gaze followed the two. She watched as one of them took out a pair of handcuffs from their back pockets. Xin Siyue stared at them and couldnt help but think: theyre police? As expected, the man who seemed to be familiar with Chen Sinan took out his ID and said with imposing manner, Miss Shi, I am the leader of Sheng Jin Citys criminal police squad. We have reliable evidence and witnesses to prove that you have attempted twice to murder someone. Now, we are going to arrest you. The moment the man revealed his status, the staff all gasped except Shi Shi. She remained unmoved. Do you guys have proof that I killed someone? If not, dont think about arresting me! Come to the police station with us and well make sure youre convinced. I wont go! Shi Shi widened her bright eyes. Leave me alone! You guys have no right to arrest me! Let me go! The other young man by the leaders side walked over and easily subdued Shi Shi who was trying to escape. The clear sound of the snapping of handcuffs rang. Xin Siyue captured Shi Shis strange and horrific gaze on her. Its you guys! It must be you guys! Chen Sinan, Xin Siyue, you guys are trying to frame me, right?! I never murdered anyone. You guys arent even dead. I didnt murder anyone. I didnt murder anyone! That man held her two shoulders forcibly and suppressed her. He said sternly, Leave whatever you have to say at the police station! Take her away. When the leader said that, Shi Shi was brought away. Xin Siyue! Dont be too happy! I will definitely come back! I will definitely live longer than you! When the time comes, Ill have you see how you will die! Wait for it! Peoples scalps felt numb at the ear-piercing voice. While Xin Siyue knitted her eyebrows and was in a trance, the leader said, Ill interrogate her and notify you of the result. Chen Sinan said, Thank you. That man smiled and said, Ever since I knew you, you never asked me to help you with anything. This time, you actually asked me so I naturally cant just do nothing. Although it might take some time to investigate this, dont forget that you owe me a favor! Of course. Chen Sinan laughed. Ok, on the day of your wedding, remember to call me. No problem. The leader continued, If you have time, bring your woman to the police station so we can record what happened and go through the procedures. Ok. After Chen Sinan bade farewell with him, he turned to look at Xin Siyue and asked, Since the guest is going to the police station, does that mean you can get off work earlier? Xin Siyues eyelashes slightly trembled. So, just how long has Chen Sinan been planning this? She couldnt understand the process. In the morning, Xin Qiancheng clearly told her that they couldnt find any evidence or witnesses. How did the police end up arresting her in the afternoon now? On the way, Xin Siyue couldnt help but ask, What happened? Chen Sinans slender fingers were tapping and creating a rhythm. He looked out the window, clearly in a great mood. The blue sky, white clouds, and the bright sunshine. When he heard her question, he turned around to ask, What? My brother clearly said that its hard to find evidence against Shi Shi. Even she was confident that she would never be defeated. How did you guys find the evidence? Chen Sinan said, In this world, as long as you have networks and money, you can do anything. She was too arrogant and believed that she was flawless with her plans. In reality, she left loopholes. In order to make her plead guilty, I already found the evidence and witnesses against her. What a pity that she didnt succeed in murdering so she could only be sentenced lightly. However, ten years of jail should be enough for her to repent sincerely and mend her mistakes. Xin Siyue quietly glanced at him before gradually smiling. Although I dont know her that well, I dont think shes the type of person to repent and mend her mistakes. What youre saying is I dont mean anything. I just think its quite bizarre for someone like her to be alive. Chen Sinan reached over to hug her. He comforted her and said, There are all sorts of people in this world. Its nothing strange. After seeing many of them, you get used to it. Thats true. Ten years should be enough. Xin Siyue said and then added in her heart: who knew if this world could last another ten years Was this an unrealistic story or a dream? She couldnt tell the difference anymore If Shi Shi was saying the truth, time would stop after two years of his marriage. Did that mean everyone would continue to exist or disappear? Will she die? Or return to her previous world? Or would this be put to an end? She couldnt tell. What are you thinking about? Seeing that she was in a trance and her tightly knitted eyebrows ever since Shi Shi was arrested, Chen Sinan asked a bit anxiously. Chapter 161 - The World’s Existence (2) Ch.161 The Worlds Existence (2) Oh, nothing. As she said this, she reached over to hug his arms. She smiled and moved closer to him. She asked, Then can we focus on preparing our wedding now? We have always been preparing the wedding. Only you hadnt place this in your heart. Dont I have you still? Since youre handling this, I naturally dont need to worry about it. Right? Well, youre great at sweet talking. Mhm, you have to treasure these moments. I dont easily soothe someone. Oh? Should I thank Lady Chen for this honor then? Of course! On their way, they chatted about random things. After eating, Chen Sinan brought her to look at furniture. After Xin Siyue looked through it carefully, she finally settled for a few. Why are we buying new furniture? She asked. We clearly need to buy new things for our wedding. Xin Siyue blinked her eyes. Oh, she understood. On their way back, Chen Sinan went to answer a call. Xin Siyue looked at the time and noticed that it was already 10 pm. Chen Sinan had bluetooth on and he concentrated on listening to what the other person was saying the entire way. He would occasionally respond in a few words. Before he hung up, he said, When you have time one day, lets have lunch together. Ok, this is it for now. Xin Siyue looked ahead and didnt plan on asking him who called. However, Chen Sinan mentioned it first. My friend called and said that he interrogated her for a few hours. Shi Shi already plead guilty but she made a request. She wanted to see you for the final time. As Chen Sinan said this, he looked at her expression. If you dont want to see her, I Before Chen Sinan finished his words, Xin Siyue continued, Ill go see her. She slightly smiled. I have some questions to ask her anyway. Xin Siyue went to the police station the second day after she got off work. The leader personally brought her over to visit Shi Shi. She didnt expect that within a day, Shi Shis hair was scattered and her eyes were blank and empty. When she saw Xin Siyue, her eyes brightened. The light flickered and then diminished. Shi Shi sneered, Chen Sinan was more powerful than what I expected. But dont be too happy. Despite him defeating me, you guys still have Sheng Wenyang between your relationship. Xin Siyue mocked her, Cant you tell the situation right now? Do you think Sheng Wenyang could be an obstacle between the two of us anymore? Either youre underestimating Chen Sinan or thinking Im easily bullied. Youre easily bullied?! Xin Siyue, dont you think youre funny? If it werent for you, how would I end up to be so miserable and tragic?! Its all your fault! This was all your fault! What hatred do you have against me!? I wont tell you. You can live with this puzzle forever! As for me, the moment I die, I can finally return to that world. As for you, you can die with this virtual world! Hahah! As Shi Shi said this, she laughed loudly and unrestrained. She said, In this virtual world, only you, a fool, would take everything so seriously! Hah! Hahaha! Youre such a fool! Xin Siyue held a gloomy face. Then she continued to listen to her, Theres a way for you to continue living. Do you want to try? Xin Siyue looked deeply at her and said, I wont believe whatever youre saying. Its ok if you dont believe it! Whoever cares about this virtual world is a fool! If youre willing to personally kill yours and Chen Sinans child and use their blood as a sacrifice, maybe you can get your wish. Xin Siyue, theres only one chance. The moment the child is born, its up to you if you choose to kill them or not. Xin Siyue stared at her and then said, Lunatic. Hahah! Haha! When Xin Siyue came out of the police station, she was in a daze. Shi Shis words cant be believed. No matter what, she wont believe it! She walked a few steps and saw the silver Mercedes by the police station door. The car window descended halfway and Chen Sinan had his eyes on his phone. Maybe he had detected her gaze but Chen Sinan placed his phone away. He slightly looked up and in the direction of her. Then he smiled at her. Xin Siyue was stunned but then smiled at him too. She walked towards him quickly and asked, Why did you come? Chen Sinan got out of the car and opened the door for her. I came to pick you up. Youre off work that early today? No matter how important work is, my wifey is more important. Xin Siyue who was about to get in the car paused. Then she looked up and kissed his face. She smiled and said, Sorry to trouble President Chen. Chen Sinan touched his cheeks which were just pecked by her. He couldnt help but laugh. That stingy? Youre only going to kiss my face? Xin Siyue who was in the middle of buckling her seat belts stopped and then looked up. She grinned and replied, President Chen, stop being greedy and asking for more. Chen Sinan grinned and walked around, getting into the car.

Xin Siyue stared at the unfamiliar road and inquired, Where are we going? Our home. Xin Siyues eyes slightly flickered. For a moment, she said nothing. Seeing her reaction, Chen Sinan knew that she would be even more surprised after personally seeing their home. Imagining her cute reaction, Chen Sinan looked forward to this. When they arrived at their destination, it was already dark. When Chen Sinan got out of the car, he smiled and said, What a pity that we came here late. Tomorrow morning, I will bring you to check out the garden in the backyard. The place Chen Sinan brought her to was slightly north of Sheng Jin Citys bustling center. Although Xin Siyue wasnt in Sheng Jin City that often, she heard that this place was already in construction since two years ago. It was going to be built into a luxurious mansion and it was priceless. Xin Siyue stared at the landscape ahead of her. It was a very distinguishable mansion. She asked a bit unbelievably, Thisis yours? So Chen Sinan had contracted this land? Chen Sinan walked up and held her hands as they went inside. He corrected her seriously, Its not mine. Its ours. Our shared property. Xin Siyue looked at him and was at a loss of words. After a while, she reacted and hurriedly asked, So youve been planning our new home since a long time ago? Chen Sinan nodded. I designed the entire mansion. He continued, If you dont like something, we can only change it after our wedding. Xin Siyue shook her head. He casually asked, What? You dont like it? No, I like it very much. Xin Siyue thought in her heart: I like everything. Chen Sinan nodded in satisfaction. Then he held her hands and slowly took her for a tour in their new home. Xin Siyue was shocked and flabbergasted by his designs. She couldnt help but say that Chen Sinan has good taste and was very talented. The interior design, placement, murals, crystal lamps, and even the studys design was to her hearts content. While Chen Sinan showed her the way, Xin Siyue sighed in admiration. She realized that she was extremely excited. He even designed the bedroom considerately. However, Xin Siyue was slightly unhappy with the gray pillow and blankets on the bed. She said, I dont like this color. Chen Sinan followed her and finally saw that she didnt like a certain part of the room. He smiled and asked, What color do you like then? Something thats more cheerful? She tested. Ok. When were married, we can use red blankets. When he said this, Xin Siyue felt him walking over and hugging her from behind. He lowly chuckled and enticed her, Since buying this bed, we havent tried sleeping in it She and Chen Sinan had bought the majority of the furniture yesterday. But he had carefully selected this bed. How could Xin Siyue not know what he was thinking? She purposefully replied, President Chen, you should believe in your taste. Chen Sinan reached over to caress her smooth skin. He softly kissed her earlobe and said, I wont be at ease until weve tried it. Xin Siyue held his mischievous fingers and Chen Sinan turned her around. He looked at her deeply and then cupped her face, kissing her. Xin Siyues hands which were originally on his arms couldnt help but wrap around his neck as the kiss became more and more intense. Chen Sinan detected her trying to stand on her tippy toes in order to respond to him. He held her waist and easily lifted her up. He walked a few steps and then pressed her down on the bed. Chen Sinan took off his jacket and kissed her again. Xin Siyue slightly raised her body to cooperate with him. Chen Sinan showered his kisses down her body. He would either kiss or suck her skin. He didnt even forget to bring her hands on his chest. His hoarse voice enticed her, Help me unbutton this. Xin Siyue panted. She opened her eyes to see him looking passionately at her. She blushed and slightly avoided his gaze. Her fingers trembled as she helped him unbutton his buttons. When the two were bare, Xin Siyues face was flushed and burning as Chen Sinan placed her on his lap. She held onto his shoulders with her hands and buried her head in his arms, eyes tightly closed. She allowed him to take control. Labor breathing, moaning, desire and passion After a while, Chen Sinan carried Xin Siyue who was exhausted and lacking strength into the bathroom. He helped to wash her and stared at her pink cheeks and the tears hanging by the corner of her eyes. Chen Sinan looked down and softly kissed the corner of her eyes. The smile on his face was warm. When Xin Siyue laid on bed, she felt her body was still extremely sore. She pressed her waist which didnt feel like hers anymore. She silently sighed and was grateful for persistently rejecting his request to have another round in the bathroom. Chapter 163 - Sore Waist (2) Ch.163 Sore Waist (2) If they had another round, Xin Siyue felt like she didnt need to get out of the bed tonight. When Chen Sinan finished showering and came out wearing his robe, he saw Xin Siyue who was buried under the blankets. Her cheeks were still red from the warm shower. She was quite attractive. Therefore, he walked over and pulled the blankets to the side. He got in bed. When Xin Siyue detected his long legs seemingly rubbing her calf, she couldnt help but kick him to the side a bit angrily. Stop messing with me! Im exhausted. Chen Sinan carried her in his arms and he kissed her forehead. He smiled and commented, Wifey, youre lacking in stamina. Go away! Xin Siyue pushed him and said, Cant you hold it in a bit? I have been controlling myself. Chen Sinan bluntly said. Xin Siyue opened her eyes a bit and looked at him. She was very suspicious. She placed his hands on her waist and said softly, My waist is sore. Chen Sinan knew what she wanted and he started to massage her. After a bit, he asked, Lady Chen, are you satisfied? Xin Siyue sighed and nodded. Its ok. After Chen Sinan had a taste of her, his wish was fulfilled. He didnt forget to offer his massaging services to her and then he personally went to pick up the takeout downstairs. He served her food and then he lazily held her as they watched the boring TV Show. Chen Sinan suggested staying tonight and Xin Siyue thought about it before agreeing. She was really lazy and didnt want to move back. Therefore, she called Bai Ning and told her that she wasnt going back for the night. Bai Ning was surprised. Are you working overtime tonight? Xin Siyue was embarrassed by this question. She paused before telling her the truth, Mother, Im not working overtime. Im with Chen Sinan. Bai Ning was silent after hearing this. Then she said, Oh, ok. Xin Siyue just hung up when Chen Sinan smiled, pulling her in his arms. Theyve experienced this before. They know. Xin Siyue glared at him. Dont you dare do anything to me tonight. I need to go to work tomorrow. Chen Sinan gave her a straightforward answer, Sure! Xin Siyue originally thought that he wouldve act shameless but after seeing that he went straight to sleep while spooning her, she let her guard down and went into a deep sleep. Of course, as the truth proved, Chen Sinan was still wiser than her. When it was still dark outside, Xin Siyue was woken up by his continuous harassing. Chen Sinan played with her tongue and his hand moved up her thigh. Her thigh was the most ticklish. After she was woken up by surprise, Chen Sinan immediately kissed her harder when her eyelashes flickered. Xin Siyue couldnt breathe and she punched him. Oo Chen Sinan wasnt fully satisfied from the kiss but he let her go. While he loosened his grip on her, Xin Siyue said in an unclear voice, I, I cant breathe Chen Sinan moved his kiss downwards and kissed her delicate collarbone. He grinned and said, Youll get used to it after we kiss more often. Xin Siyue had difficulty looking up. She gripped his shoulders tightly and then said in between breaks, Didnt you promise me? What? Chen Sinan paused to look at her puzzled look. Then he laughed. Its the second day now. He suddenly tugged the strap on her robe off and quickly took off her clothes. Xin Siyue only had time to gasp when he flipped her over. He pressed down and kissed the skin on her smooth back. She couldnt control herself and trembled and moaned. In the end, Xin Siyue arrived half an hour late to work. Besides that, she felt as if her legs werent hers anymore. When it was lunch break, she received Chen Sinans call. But, she didnt even think twice before hanging up on him. When Chen Sinan heard the robotic female voice on the phone, he wasnt irritated either. He turned to send her a message. Mhm. He did take her too harshly. However, is it his fault that she was delicious and a feast for the eyes? After the first time, she was already panting. Her pale white skin was now red and flushed. He took an extra few glances before he became restless again. He hugged her and took her again. In the end, she bit his shoulder. Chen Sinan groaned in pain but it made him even more excited. He was unable to control his strength and thrusted hard, making her cry for mercy When Chen Sinan recalled the indescribable scene, his smile deepened. When Xin Siyue was eating lunch, she saw his message: remember to eat so that you can replenish your strength. When Xin Siyue saw the word strength, she recalled how he complained about her stamina in bed. Her ears became red and she quickly closed the text message. This shameless bastard! Chapter 164 - I’m Not Dead Yet! You Don’t Need to Mourn for Me (1) Ch.164 Im Not Dead Yet! You Dont Need to Mourn for Me (1) Both witnesses and evidence were present. Shi Shi was sentenced to jail. On the other hand, Father Shi called her a stupid fool. But he spent the entire night trying to rescue her through his connections. Shi Shis mother had passed away. Her step-mother wasnt a nice person either. She was already displeased with Shi Shi spending money like water and acting condescending in front of people. She had no manners at all. Hearing her husband trying to please people in order to beg them to help, she couldnt help but pour cold water on him and say, If it were up to me, I think its better if she stays in jail for a few years. That way, she can reflect upon herself! You wont need to spend all this money on her. Cant you talk like a human being?! Father Shi had been worried constantly and extremely busy, trying to deal with this matter. Upon hearing her words, he angrily scolded her. If Im not talking like a human being, how could you even understand my words? She sneered. Do you not know how your daughter acts like? If she could hire people to murder someone, who knows if she might hire someone to murder me one day if she dislikes me. Of course, maybe she will become a lunatic and hire someone to murder her own father as well! Shut up! I wont! Why dont you think about it? Do you know who she was trying to kill? Chen and Xin Family. She implicated four people. Are they even people she could touch? Heh. This time, she was lucky that she wasnt dead. If Chen Sinan really wanted to take revenge, do you think we would still be alive? Do you think you could stand here and make calls? You should be satisfied! Once she finished, she didnt even look at Father Shi. She walked off. Shi Family will probably meet its end sooner or later. Her words made Father Shi calm down. More or less, he knew that this was just a fruitless effort. But she was his daughter. No matter what, he couldnt just watch her go to jail without trying to rescue her. He knew that since Chen Sinan personally sent her to jail, despite throwing the entire familys fortunes in to save her, it was impossible. He bowed down and dejectedly stood there. In the end, he called Chen Sinan and requested to meet him. Chen Sinan naturally didnt have time to see him. When Assistant Wang mentioned this, Chen Sinan replied, no without looking up from his work. He added, If he called again, tell him that Shi Shi got what she deserved. I was already being merciful. If she doesnt behave, dont blame me for destroying her. Assistant Wang remembered his words. Chen Sinan paused and asked, Whats the situation in jail? There arent any issues. But besides President Shi who came to visit Shi Shi, Miss Sheng and Miss Lai went as well. Hm? Chen Sinans gaze deepened. It seems like Sheng Wenyang has a pretty good relationship with Shi Shi. Miss Lai went to visit Shi Shi purely to hit her while she was down. In the past, she had suffered because of Shi Shi. Because of that, she wasnt that close to her anymore and stopped talking to her. Her impression of her changed when she went to question Shi Shi as to why she gave her a rotten idea. Shi Shi had mocked her and said, You dont have any abilities so you wanted to blame this on me!? With an IQ like yours, how do you expect to climb on Chen Sinans bed? Why dont you look in the mirror and take a look for yourself? Plus, why would you act according to my words?! Youre such a fool! As a child, Miss Lai had never been humiliated like this before. She clenched her teeth and glared at Shi Shi, Stop acting so proud! I cant have Chen Sinan but its the same for you! Dont think that I dont know youre going after Chen Sinan as well! Humph. Were about the same. Youre not any smarter than I am! Shi Shi replied in disdain, Just watch and see. When Miss Lai thought of this, she couldnt help but smile pleasingly. When Shi Shi said just watch and see, who wouldve knew it was this scene? After seeing her, she mocked, How is it? Are the meals in jail tasty? Shi Shi squinted her eyes. Humph! No wonder youre a cannon fodder! Look at your manners! What did you say? Are you deaf? You specially came to make fun of me, right? But what a pity that I never placed you in my eyes. Now that youve seen me, you can scram now! Miss Lai was quite infuriated. I came to visit you out of kindness and this is how you treat me?! Heh. Are you really being kind? You know it best yourself. Shi Shi said this and laughed. Then she continued, How is it? After being dumped by Chen Sinan, you plan on shifting this hatred on me? Are you bored? You! Miss Lai suddenly stood up. Her expression was ugly. Take care and I wont bother seeing you out. Shi Shi didnt even spare her another glance. Humphed. She was the one who created her, an irrelevant character. She thinks that shes the main female lead? What a joke! But two days later, Sheng Wenyang who was originally supposed to be the main female lead came to visit her. She wore a black coat and Shi Shi smiled at her. But her smile was cold. Im not dead yet! You dont need to mourn for me. Chapter 165 - I’m Not Dead Yet! You Don’t Need to Mourn for Me (2) Ch.165 Im Not Dead Yet! You Dont Need to Mourn for Me (2) Sheng Wenyang didnt expect that although she went from a young wealthy miss to a criminal, she hadnt cried or anything. Instead, she had laughed. She helplessly said, It seems like you knew you would have landed yourself a consequence like this when you had done those things in the past. Shi Shis handcuffs bumped against the table and made a bang. She raised her chin and said, Who would want to be in jail? Would you? But when I was doing those things, I wasnt thinking too much about it. Didnt you just want to be with Chen Sinan? Ill grant your wish! After all, youre the female lead that Ive created. More or less, I have some feelings regarding you. Sheng Wenyangs expression changed. What are you talking about? Many people think that Im crazy but Im fully awake. Sheng Wenyang, let me tell you the truth. This world isnt real. This is a virtual world that is supported by the novel I had written. Impossible! You find it to be unbelievable, right? But this is the truth. In my book, Chen Sinan is the typical romantic male lead. He is wealthy, handsome, and powerful. Many people love him and youre one of the many. Of course, youre also the female lead. Male lead and female lead CP, male side lead and female side lead CP, etc. (T/N: CP in Chinese means a couple or a character pairingin English wed use the term shipping) Mo Bei liked you without any reasons and he couldnt control his love for you. I purposefully created him like this. You admired Chen Sinan and this was a one-sided love. On another hand, you used Mo Bei to climb higher up the social ladder and used him to get closer to Chen Sinan. Plus, you used Xin Siyues stupid cannon fodder methods and successfully made yourself seem kind and innocent in front of Chen Sinan. But what was different from now was that you were successful and became Lady Chen. You used the numerous miscarriages and made Xin Siyue your scapegoat. In the end, Xin Siyue lost her entire family and married a slag man, and then died in his hands. You and Chen Sinan had a son two years after your marriage. There was your happy ending. Chen Sinan listened to her shocking and stunning words. Her face turned pale. YouYoure crazy! Im not crazy. Shi Shi smiled and continued, Do you need me to tell you what happened to your family from the start to end? Need me to tell you what happened between you and Mo Bei abroad? Sheng Wenyang, why do you think I found you in the first moments you returned back in the country? Why do you think I gave you advice? Its because I realized that because of Xin Siyue, the plot had drastically changed. She wasnt the original Xin Siyue from the book. She transmigrated, earlier than me. Youyou guysso you guys are from another world? Youre the author? Yes, you didnt expect this, right? Shi Shi exaggeratingly laughed. This world is quite interesting! Its absurd! It is absurd! Shi Shi chuckled. But Im not scared. This world will come to an end sooner or later. I am waiting for you guys to go to the underworld with me. Hahah! Once Shi Shi finished her words, she couldnt control her sinister laughter. Sheng Wenyang was stunned for a few moments and she ended up escaping. She originally wanted to visit her and tell her that what comes around will come back around. In the end, she never expected Shi Shi to say something absurd and ridiculous like that. So she was saying the truth? She wasnt Shi Shi and Xin Siyue wasnt Xin Siyue either. From the start, everyone was like a puppet living in this world? They were controlled and couldnt do anything they wanted? The more Sheng Wenyang thought of this, the more absurd it was! But this absurd thought tortured her day and night. In the end, she finally couldnt hold it in. She decided to call Chen Sinan and hoped to meet him. Chen Sinan didnt wanted to see her at all. Im busy. Sheng Wenyang hurriedly exclaimed, I am free to talk anytime. A-Nan, I can wait for you. Chen Sinan seemed to be displeased by this endearment. When Sheng Wenyang heard no response, she was scared that he might reject her offer. She added, Its about Xin Siyue. A-Nan, I think you have the right to know. Chen Sinan raised his eyebrows slightly but gave her an address. He said, Four in the afternoon. I will only give you ten minutes. Ok! Sheng Wenyang grabbed her phone and thought: ten minutes. It was enough. It was enough. As long as he agreed to see her. Sheng Wenyangs thoughts were on their meeting in the afternoon so she seemed to be uneased in her office. In the end, she decided to go for a spa and then intentionally picked a pink dress that made her seem gorgeous but attractive at the same time. But Chen Sinan didnt even spare her a glance after he walked in. The makeup she spent a few hours doing went to waste. He cut straight to the chase and said, Quickly say what you have to say. I only have ten minutes. After seeing Sheng Wenyang, he needed to see a few partners. After that, he needed to pick Xin Siyue up. Sheng Wenyang who had prepared a stomach full of gentle sentiments was thrown off by his indifferent attitude. She stared at him with her wide and watery eyes. She blinked and it felt like tears were about to pour out, but she needed to hold it in. A-Nan Miss Sheng, please change the way you address me. Chen Sinan pulled their distance apart again. Sheng Wenyang said, ok. Chapter 166 - He Can Sleep in the Guest Room Tonight (1) Ch.166 He Can Sleep in the Guest Room Tonight (1) Sheng Wenyang hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Then, she looked up bitterly at him and called out, Mr. Chen. As soon as that unfamiliar greeting was let out, Sheng Wenyangs eyes turned red. They couldnt go back anymore, they really couldnt. Her Chen Sinan had long drifted further and further away. His heart was no longer with her at all, nor did his gaze pause on her anymore. Even the simple glance from before was something she was unable to keep. Sheng Wenyang, youve lost. Youve really lost to Xin Siyue. Even if this world had been created for you and Chen Sinan from the start, you still lost! When Chen Sinan saw how pitiful she looked, biting her lip, he lost his temper instead. Miss Sheng, please speak up if you have anything to say. Sheng Wenyang paused for a moment. Once she managed to swallow that lump in her throat, she began softly, I went to see Shi shi. She told me that this world doesnt really exist. Its just a book she wrote. You and I are the male and female leads in this world, but because of Xin Siyue, the orbit of this world had a dramatic change. So, Ah Nan, Xin Siyue isnt even the real Xin Siyue at all! Chen Sinan listened as she spat that all out while still retaining the air of a gentleman. Once he heard her shouting the name Ah Nan, he raised his brow slightly and his pupils darkened. Sheng Wenyang immediately understood what went wrong and corrected herself, Mr. ChenEverything I said is true! Heh, if what you say is true, does that mean what Shi Shi says must be true as well? Sheng Wenyang, you admit that youve been in contact with Shi Shi, do you? So does that mean youre also involved with the things she did? No! Sheng Wenyang cried out immediately. You have to believe me! Chen Sinan, please! Do you think I would have ended up investigating Shi Shi if I werent suspicious of you? Chen Sinan stood up. If you wish to continue on this madness with Shi Shi, then you better think about the consequences. As for what you said earlier, I dont want to hear it a second time. I also do not want to hear it from anyone else. Miss Sheng, I hope your intelligence will not be dragged away by that imprisoned Shi Shi. You better watch yourself. After he finished speaking, Chen Sinan got up. Sheng Wenyang quickly got up and chased after him, pulling his sleeve. Chen Sinan, is it really impossible between us? Its impossible. His response to her was definite. Sheng Wenyang let go. She covered her face with her two hands and cried, sobbing so hard that she was no longer coherent. Gone, gone, everything is gone! She really couldnt get Chen Sinan back anymore. Sheng Wenyang cried her heart out, but she had no idea that a young man in a blue suit was watching the two of them from the railings on the second floor, nor the fact that his gaze never left Sheng Wenyangs person. Not far away from him was Xin Siyue with her hair in a bun, dressed in a white shirt and a black pencil skirt. Xin Siyue had invited Mo Bei to meet with her so they could talk about the show. Halfway through, he came out to pick up a call. Seeing that he had not returned despite waiting for quite a while, Xin Siyue told his assistant she was going to the bathroom but did not expect to see him leaning halfway over the railing, staring fixedly at a certain area downstairs, seeming extremely immersed. Among crowds, he always seemed to stand out. Without the need to look for him deliberately, she could still notice his traces at first glance into a crowd. Xin Siyue was also looking curiously at where Sheng Wenyang were. Except, unlike Mo Bei, her posture was clearly more relaxed, and her expression was also not as tight as his. From what she could see, Sheng Wenyang had likely come seeking out Chen Sinan to talk about the old times, then tried to find a way to pull Chen Sinan back after that. However, Chen Sinan must have shown no pity to the fairer sex and made the beauty cry. Xin Siyue couldnt help but shake her head. She had to make Chen Sinan sleep in the guest room tonight! Who asked him to accept her appointment? After Mo Beis complex gaze lingered on Cheng Wenyang who was sobbing with her shoulders shrunken for a moment, he finally said, Host Xin, does this scene make you happy? These words were filled with an explosive taste. Xin Siyue came back to her senses. To him, Sheng Wenyang was someone he was afraid of doing wrong even if he cared for her in the palm of his hand. Thus, she quickly put away her smile and responded simply, My apologies, Mr. Mo, I do not have any intentions of feeling happy over someones misfortune. Mo Bei stood there without moving and only turned around to look at her. Even if you wish to, you have no right to do it. Xin Siyue smiled and explained, I am only smiling about something else, I have no intentions of making fun of Miss Sheng. As for being happy over someones misfortune, Im very sorry but I really do not have that intention. So, Miss Xin, how does it feel to see your fiance still entangled with his ex? Chen Sinan had no ex. Xin Siyue corrected him, He has never been together with her officially. If we had to name someone an ex, I would be the only possibility. Chapter 167 - He Can Sleep in the Guest Room Tonight (2) Ch.167 He Can Sleep in the Guest Room Tonight (2) Mo Beis mouth moved, his lips curving into what seemed to be a smile. Xin Siyue glanced at him and said after some thought, If you really wish to obtain her to the point where you really cant bear to be without her, then isnt this situation good for you? Taking advantage of this situation right now would be easy as cake. Mo Bei did not answer that question. Instead, he asked her, So you really believe that Chen Sinan would not betray you and rekindle his old flame behind your back? When she heard this question, Xin Siyue could not help laughing. Following that, she said in a cheerful tone, Then, do you really believe that Sheng Wenyang can rekindle that flame? What Xin Siyue got in response was Mo Beis focused gaze. Xin Siyue could guess his intentions and said, You believe that, but I believe in Chen Sinans character. If he really had someone he liked, he would never betray her. So, if he liked Sheng Wenyang, then he definitely would not get mixed up with me out of pretense. Similarly, he and I are about to be married. He definitely wouldnt give me up on our hard-won relationship. Mo Bei, I trust him because he can give me a sense of security. But you dont believe in Sheng Wenyang because your hearts arent linked together. Perhaps, when you meet someone you truly love, and someone who truly loves you, youll be able to experience that. After saying that, Xin Siyue finally realized she may have been speaking too much and quickly said, Ive said too much, Im sorry. About today Thats alright. Its a special experience, talking to you. After he said that, Mo Bei turned around and said, I seem to be able to understand why Ah Nan chose you over her. Xin Siyue smiled and did not ask the reason. Instead, she said, I hope you think consider the interview. If its possible, I hope I can receive an answer by tomorrow. Thank you. Mm, alright. Before Xin Siyue left, she turned back just to glance at him and found him staring focusedly at the person downstairs. Xin Siyue sighed silently and went downstairs with light feet. While reading her book, she actually quite admired Mo Bei. He was handsome, talented, and dedicated. Its just a pity that much of that is covered up by Chen Sinans male lead aura. And because of his obsession with Sheng Wenyang, she just felt sorry for him. He was such a good man, and he deserved someone better to love him. He deserved happiness. Xin Siyue felt a lot of emotions. After going downstairs, she was just thinking to drive home when she remembered Chen Sinan. So, she stopped her actions of reversing her car and gave him a call. Chen Sinan picked up after two beeps. What is it? Due to what happened with Mo Bei earlier, she felt a little affected by his emotions. So, when she spoke, her voice was softer than usual. Have you gone back? Chen Sinans pupils paused. Huh? He said. The voice speaking with him became softer and softer. Xin Siyue spoke a little powerlessly, I saw you earlier. After she said that, she added on deliberately, I saw you with Sheng Wenyang, so go sleep in the guest room tonight, President Chen. After she said that, she was just about to hang up when she heard Chen Sinans slightly anxious voice from the receiver. Where are you? Xin Siyue looked around her and told him where she was. Im in the parking lot. Wait for me! After Chen Sinan said that, he immediately turned his car around and rushed back. Xin Siyue did not expect that Chen Sinan would come this quickly. She had clearly shut her eyes to rest for a few short minutes after the call was hung up. Tap tap. Someone was knocking on the car window. When Xin Siyue heard the sound, she turned around and saw Chen Sinans handsome face, laced with a slight hint of anxiety. Xin Siyue could not react to the situation for a moment and did not move. Chen Sinan thought that she had gotten angry so he tapped the window another two times and ordered, Open the door! She was sitting on the drivers seat. Chen Sinan bent down to give her a glance, and immediately, she climbed over to the front passenger seat obediently. After Chen Sinan shut the door, his complexion seemed rather bad. He was gloomy, and also kept silent. Xin Siyue observed his eyes carefully, and thought, she shouldve been the angry one! What is he being angry about?! Chen Sinan, what are you doing? She asked, her voice revealing her slight irritation. Whats with this guys aura? Its not like shes hiding a private lover! Chen Sinan turned around to look at her and still remained silent. Xin Siyue snorted. Oh, President Chen, so youre going to pull that look on me, are you? I havent even asked you about meeting up with your ex, and youre angry at me? I Im not sleeping in the guest room. Chen Sinan sighed as he spoke in a solemn tone. Xin Siyue who was halfway through her sentence was stunned. What? Chen Sinan looked intently at her. Theres nothing between me and her. I was thinking of picking you up after your work and explain things to you, but since you happened to see us, Ill just explain everything while were on the road. After he said that, Chen Sinan went on, But as for sleeping in the guest room, I strongly disagree with that suggestion. Xin Siyue could not help but laugh out loud. While laughing, she said, If youre not sleeping there then I will, is that fine with you? No. Ive never seen a couple who are about to get married sleep in different rooms. Xin Siyue, Hm, so you still have reason! Chapter 168 - We Will Grow Old Together (1) Ch.168 We Will Grow Old Together (1) After Chen Sinan emphasized for the third time that he would not be sleeping in the guest room, Xin Siyue no longer wanted to deal with him. He did not wait for her to respond either. Either way, no response means a yes by default. Chen Sinan started up her car, and only then did Xin Siyue remind him, What about your car?! I can just wait for Assistant Wang to come deal with it. Huh, fine. Whatever makes you happy. Xin Siyue adjusted herself on her seat and looked out the window, letting her mind wander. With Mo Beis attitude today, it was unlikely for him to agree to be on the show. Its likely that she will have to re-plan the show again tonight. Xin Siyue was absorbed in her thoughts, having no idea at all that Chen Sinan who was driving inattentively had been glancing over to her several times without leaving any trace. By the time she finally caught him looking at her, she asked craftily, Whatre you looking at me like that for? Whats with this situation? Is he going to talk or not? Chen Sinan clutched the steering wheel leisurely and said, The reason why I met up with Sheng Wenyang was because she went to see Shi Shi several days ago. When Xin Siyue heard this, a frown emerged on her brow. Chen Sinan caught those subtle movements and smiled, asking, Is there something you want to say to me? Xin Siyue looked at him seriously and pondered deeply on it. Chen Sinan raised the corners of his mouth silently. Theres something Ive actually always wanted to ask you. Xin Siyue seemed to be able to guess what he wanted to ask, so she brought it up first. About me? Yes. Actually, Ive always been thinking about whether I should ask you this, because I cant be sure. How would you react if I asked you? Thats why I never asked after so long. Chen Sinan went on and said, After Shi Shi was taken into custody, I had Assistant Want collect all the videos on the scene. Later, I found many of what Shi Shi had to say quite shocking. Im not going to hide it from you, but I know everything about what she said to you when you went to see her as well. Xin Siyues gaze changed. So, after her meeting with Shi Shi last time, that captain sent him a copy of the recording as well? Why? Do you not trust me or what? Chen Sinan explained, Many of Shi Shis actions are beyond our logic, but every time she sees you, she seems to become very agitated. Moreover, she only targets you. Im just worried about you. Xin Siyue shook her head. She said, So you met Sheng Wenyang today because she found out from Shi Shi that Im not the original Xin Siyue? Thats right. Its true, Im not her. You should be clear about that as well. However, the reason why I didnt want to tell you that is because I think that statement is too ridiculous. I live in another world, so all the people I know in this world are from the contents of a book Ive read before transmigrating here. I accidentally fell down the stairs while going down and hit my head. By the time I woke up, I was already in this world. Chen Sinan, I know about all of you inside this world, and I also know how the story of this world is going to develop. That was why I tried to escape at the very beginning. When I tried to stay far away from you, I was only worried that I would destroy myself once I get close. Chen Sinans gaze moved slightly, motioning for her to continue. I dont know from when Shi Shi became the author. In this world, I am not the only person possessing Xin Siyues body. She is the same. She wrote this book, but I dont know why she turned into that. After thinking about it, the only possibility is because of me being in this world. She knows me and even hates me to no end. Otherwise, why would the supporting female lead have the same name as me? And she even ended up in a tragedy. Even though Chen Sinan could guess a few things from the dialogue between them, hearing her admit it herself still felt a little strange. So, what is the ending in the book? Xin Siyue smiled. You and Sheng Wenyang got together, and because of an accidental miscarriage of your first child with Xin Siyue, you got angry and made the Xin family perish. Meanwhile, because Xin Siyue ended up getting married to that scumbag, she finally died on the day she was caught with another man. After some thought, Chen Sinan understood. So, that Lin Hui is the man she ended up marrying at the ending of the book? Xin Siyue nodded. Chen Sinan no longer had anything to say. He just looked forward. If they had to talk about this, then its better to make everything clear all at once. Xin Siyue went on, The timeline in the book stops two years after your marriage. You had a child with Sheng Wenyang. Chen Sinan was silent. She continued, I dont know how much of what Shi Shi said is real, and how much of it is fake. If this world really is as she says, stopping two years after you get married, does that mean we only have two years of happiness together? That wont happen. Chen Sinan was certain. This world is real. Chapter 169 - We Will Grow Old Together (2) I hope so as well. Xin Siyue smiled. However, I often wake up feeling unsure whether Im actually in this world or the other one. Ive even wondered. What if we just never got married? Will the world never end if we keep going like this? But, I couldnt do that to you, Chen Sinan. I want to walk by your side as your official wife. Even if its only two years, Ill still feel blessed. The car stopped. Chen Sinan heard her say, No matter what happens in the future, meeting you and loving you is already enough for me. As for our future, lets just leave that up to God to decide. Okay? Well definitely stay together until we grow old. Chen Sinan took her hand and leaned over to pull her into his arms. He lowered his head down and kissed her on the lips before saying in a soft voice, Dont think too much about it. Xin Siyue looked up with her eyes glistening with tears, You wont feel disgusted with me because of this, will you? Chen Sinan hugged her, brooding. If I do, can I still return you right now? When she heard that, Xin Siyue knew that he was just teasing her. So, without any thought, she said, No! Anyway, after our wedding at the end of April, Ill be latching on to you! Dont even think about throwing me aside in your lifetime. Yeah. Even if youre a heavy burden, I wont throw you away. How am I heavy? Whats more, when have I ever made you worry? Chen Sinan looked at her. You dont think so? Whos the one making me worry every day! Xin Siyue wouldnt admit it. She was clearly a very independent person. You see, she works hard, earns her own money, and isnt clingy. Anyway, that person wasnt me. Chen Sinan chuckled softly. He no longer said anything else to her, and instead, holding her face, he kissed her deeply On the other hand, Sheng Wenyang who had seen Chen Sinan enter Xin Siyues car was standing in place, not moving even after a long time had passed. Did you see that? The two of them have a close relationship. Mo Beis deep voice emerged. Sheng Wenyang did not turn around to look at him, her gaze just followed the car as it left. She laughed self-deprecatingly and asked, Did you come just so you could laugh at me? Is that what you think? Mo Bei frowned. Am I wrong? Shamelessly, I thought I was Chen Sinans girlfriend at the start, but who knew that he didnt think about me in that way at all? Look, in those years when I went overseas, Xin Siyue had already replaced me completely. Its all my own fault. When Mo Bei heard her words, he laughed at himself as well. Why would he be so immersed in her at the beginning, thinking of her as someone so excellent and charming? Even till now, the only person who cant come to terms with reality is just herself. Wenyang, let it go. Chen Sinan loves Xin Siyue. Enough! Sheng Wenyang suddenly raised her voice and turned around to yell at him nastily. Even if you like me, so what?! Do you think you can stab my heart over and over again with your words just because you like me?! Mo Bei, why cant you just support me and understand me?! I love Chen Sinan! I love him more than I love myself! Even if you want me to stop loving me, you should give me some time to forget him! Stop forcing me, Mo Bei! I feel like Im going to break soon! I cant take it anymore! Mo Bei looked at her and his eyes turned red. Before he could say anything, he saw her running to her own car, getting in, and drove off. The scene almost looked like she was running away. Mo Bei stood there for a long time. When his phone suddenly rang, he finally came back to his senses. The caller ID on the phone was Minor. Mo Bei reached his hand up to massage his temples and picked up the call, only to hear a clear and pleasant voice on the other end that was slightly pitched. Mo Bei, Mo Bei! Theres an English paragraph I cant understand, can you translate it for me? Please? The please at the very end had been deliberately dragged on, bringing with it a feeling of sweetness. Mo Bei was dazed for a moment before finally asking, What does it say? The person on the other side immediately read out the paragraph with a giggle. The furthest distance in the world Is not between life ah But when I stand in front of you Yet you dont know that I love you. As soon as that soft voice finished speaking, the person on that end added on quickly, What does that paragraph mean? Mo Bei, help me translate it. Mo Bei smiled. Only then did he sai, Im quite curious myself. How could someone who is able to read the pronunciations of each word so accurately not know its meaning in Chinese? If you really dont understand, I dont mind having a chat with your parents later and tell them to hire an English tutor for you. The person on the other side deflated. After a sigh, a voice filled with complaints could be heard. Fine, you dont have to tell me if you dont want to! No need to be uppity about it! After that, without even waiting for his response, she threw him out a sentence in a huff, Mo Bei, I dont want to see you anymore! Hateful guy! Mo Bei looked at the call that had been cut and felt helpless. Even if she says that, she would still appear in front of him, cheerful and jumping in joy. So, whats there to worry about? Why should he care? (T/N Kitty Jiu: Mo Bei, go and find your happiness. Im rooting for you!) Chapter 170 - When Are We Going To Get Our Certificate? (1) Chapter 170 When Are We Going To Get Our Certificate? (1) April arrived. The day of Chen Sinan and Xin Siyues wedding was getting closer and closer. The guests they had to invite to the wedding, as well as the other matters, were left to Chen Sinan and their seniors. Xin Siyue was only responsible for choosing out the wedding dress and taking sweet and loving wedding photos with Chen Sinan for the afternoon. Both of them were extremely uninterested in taking photos, so they had only changed twice during the entire thing. One was the pure white western wedding dress, while the other was the more dignified traditional Chinese wedding costume. The clothes were all custom made by the well-known designers hired by Chen Sinan. The designs were fashionable, noble, and elegant, all at the same time. Due to her work, Xin Siyue had a strong feel for the camera. Adding on the high face value of the two of them, it wasnt only the workers at the scene who were enthralled by their photoshoot, even the photographer was praising, Truly impeccable! After it ended, the photographer was still persuading them pitifully, President Chen, do you and your wife really not plan to take a few more pictures? Youre both so handsome, so beautiful! You should take more pictures! Its too much of a waste if you dont! On the other hand, Chen Sinan looked at Xin Siyue. Xin Siyue knew that he was asking for her opinion, so she shook her head. Forget it, Im tired. When he heard that, Chen Sinan reached out to hold her, allowing her to learn into his embrace. Compliantly, he said, Alright, lets stop here then. Ill bring you back in so you can rest. Avoiding the gazes of the others, she secretly gave him a strong pinch at the waist and raised her eyes to glare at him. Hmph, she was still a little angry. Her energy is drained today and it was all because of him! Last night, when she reminded him several times not to leave any marks at her neck, he did remember that, but he still made sure to toss her about well enough. They clearly had to take their wedding photos today but he still pestered her deep into the night. When she got up this morning, she found herself very dull and groggy. Chen Sinan held her all the way to the changing room so she could change. When he saw that she was still in low spirits, he reflected on it for a moment and asked in worry, Are you tired? Xin Siyue glanced at him from the corner of her eye. Arent you? Chen Sinan smiled. Mrs. Chen, are you giving me an invitation to work myself harder? This person Xin Siyue reached out to push him. Go away, Im going to change. Didnt you say you were tired? Ill help you change, Mrs. Chen. Why thank you, but I wouldnt dare bother you. Of course, Xin Siyue wouldnt dare to send herself right into the wolfs mouth. If she really let him change her, then would she still be able to walk out the dressing room alive? After the two finished packing up and was about to head back, Bai Ning called Xin Siyue and asked the two to come over for dinner. Xin Siyue asked Chen Sinan, and naturally, Chen Sinan had no comments about it. And so, they changed routes and headed to the Xin family house instead. Ever since staying the night at Chen Sinans place, Xin Siyue spent much of her time living there because Chen Sinan would come to pick her up anytime it was convenient for him. But of course, the elders all knew what was going on, they just didnt expose them. Not long after Xin Siyue went in and sat down, she couldnt help but yawn. She was really sleepy. She looked fine a few days ago when Bai Ning last saw her, but now, seeing how tired she was, she asked in pity, Have you been busy at work? Your weddings coming up soon. You should take time off work if youre really too tired. Having the best idea on why she was so tired, Xin Siyue quickly responded, Work is fine, mom. I just didnt sleep well last night. We had to take our wedding photos today as well, so I got a bit more tired than usual. Im fine, mom. Ill take some time off near the end of April and get ready for the wedding. Bai Ning wasnt too sure about that. Your work is important, but your health is more important than that. I know, mom. Dont worry! Chen Sinan reached out to hold her hand. With a smile, he assured Bai Ning, Dont worry, mom. Ill take good care of her. Chapter 171 - : When Are We Going To Get Our Certificate? (2) Chapter 171: When Are We Going To Get Our Certificate? (2) Only then did Bai Ning nod. But she still exhorted, Pay attention to your rest. Mom, you and dad are the same. You dont have to worry about me and brother, your healths are more important. When she heard her mentioning Xin Qiancheng, she felt a little disappointed. I still dont know when your brothers going to take an interest in dating. Why dont you take a few female friends home and see? You dont have to worry about him, mom. You think brother wont be able to get any girl with his qualifications? Im just worried that his taste is higher than that. I dont remember him taking fancy in any girl hes seen yet. Mom Xin Siyue was about to enlighten her when she heard Xin Qianchengs voice. Im home, mom. Done with work? Bai Ning asked in response. Yeah. After responding, Xin Qiancheng finally saw Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue. The former gave him a light nod. Xin Qiancheng took off his suit jacket and did not show too much a reaction to that. On the other hand, Xin Siyue said to him with a cheerful smile, Brother, mom was just talking about when youre going to find me a sister-in-law! When Xin Qiancheng heard the gloating in her tone, his eyes motioned for her to watch herself as he scolded her softly, You could keep quiet. Xin Siyues smile turned even brighter. Brother, why dont I keep an eye out for some women your age and help set you up? You can stop talking now. When Xin Siyue saw his moody expression, she stopped. When Xin Qiancheng passed by where Chen Sinan was sitting, he gave him a quiet reminder, Better watch your wife, my sister. When Chen Sinan heard that, he laughed. I think shes quite nice like that. Xin Siyue was sitting right beside him, so naturally, she heard it clearly. Proudly, she looked at Xin Qiancheng and said, Hes on my side, brother! Xin Qiancheng rolled his eyes away from her. He wasnt going to lower herself to her level. During dinner, the family shared a cheerful meal in harmony. But of course, that was besides Xin Qiancheng who was a little gloomy from not being able to escape Bai Nings constant persuasions at the dinner table. After dinner, Chen Sinan and Xin Jin were seated in the living room, watching the news. Xin Siyue helped Bai Ning clean up the tableware and brought a plate of cut fruits to the living room. Since she still couldnt get over her sleepiness, she went upstairs to take a shower. She had just planned to take a short nap, but she didnt expect herself to fall deep asleep. When she woke up, she found Chen Sinan sitting right at the side of her bed, reaching his hand out, stroking her cheek. Xin Siyue opened her sleepy eyes and mumbled, What time is it? Its ten-thirty at night. Oh. Only then did Xin Siyue react to the situation. She said in surprise, I actually slept that long? Yeah. Just like a little piggy. Youre a pig! Xin Siyue slapped away his hand that was rubbing her earlobe and muttered, Thats ticklish. Chen Sinan withdrew his hand and leaned over to kiss her lips. Go back to sleep, Ill head back now. Okay. After saying that, Xin Siyue wanted to get up and see him off, but Chen Sinan stopped her. I can go down myself. Remember to cover yourself while youre sleeping. Xin Siyue answered gloomily, I will. But she had just kicked off her blanket once when it got too hot at night, how did she become someone who liked kicking off the blankets? Moreover, it was him who insisted on holding her tightly while they slept. His body had a high temperature, and she wanted to push him, but he was too heavy. What else could she have done besides kicking off the blanket? Xin Siyue couldnt be bothered to explain herself, so she just told him, Be careful while youre driving back by yourself. Mhm. Before leaving, Chen Sinan pulled her in for a deep kiss, reluctant to go. Only then did he let her go and left by himself. The next day, Xin Siyue went off to work, refreshed. When her colleagues saw her, all of them were saying that to each other that people who were waiting for their big day were all in high spirits after all. Xin Siyue could only pull up an awkward smile. There wasnt much she could say. Chapter 172 - When Are We Going To Get Our Certificate? (3) Chapter 172: When Are We Going To Get Our Certificate? (3) Soon, she received a notice regarding an event about the inheritance of Chinese culture. She was specially invited to be the host. Xin Siyue looked at the contents of the program and felt that it was very meaningful, thus she agreed. Only, due to how soon the event was going to start, she would have to rush over tomorrow. She was packing her luggage when she brought this up to Chen Sinan at night. Chen Sinan was leaning on the dresser, watching her get busy with packing up her stuff, his expression profound. Once Xin Siyue was done talking, he still remained quiet for quite a long while. So, she added on, Ill be back very soon. Its only four days. Without a change in his expression, Chen Sinan said, Youre a bride-to-be and youre still running all over the place? Xin Siyue knew that he could want for nothing more than to stick around her all day long, so she walked to him with a smile and hugged his waist, putting on the coy act. Who told my hubby to be so capable! Chen Sinan narrowed his eyes slightly. Xin Siyue went up on the tips of her toes and gave him a hard kiss on the lips to curry favor. I wont be running around once Im back. Ill stay here and wait for our wedding, okay? Chen Sinan raised his arms up to hold her delicate waist. Then, turning around, he pressed her to the wall. Planting his hand on the wall beside her, he caressed her cheek and said in a deep seductive tone, Call me that again. Xin Siyue smiled proudly. However, instead of complying, she raised her smooth and fair arms, curling them around his neck, and stuck close to his ear on purpose, asking, When are we going to get our certificate? She knew that he had been very busy recently at the office due to the wedding. Coupled with how he still had to find time out of his day to accompany her each day, he had been so busy he never got to mention taking a trip to the Civil Affairs Bureau. If it wasnt for her having heard two of her colleagues gossiping while she was in the bathroom today, saying, I dont know how many lifetimes worth of luck that Xin Siyues used up, but to think she could marry a golden bachelor like Chen Sinan! No use being envious! Shes a lucky one for sure. But lets not jump to conclusions too early, what if they dont actually get married? And even if she does, a divorce is still possible! Youre right. Anyway, taking a trip down to the Civil Affairs Bureau and getting the document is super easy as well! Well have to see if she has the ability to keep her spot as a Mrs. Rich. Heh, just wait and see! After the voices of the two got farther and farther, Xin Siyue came out. She didnt feel angry about this though. Theyre speaking with their own mouths, they can be envious about people however they want with them. However, they actually reminded her that since proposing, it seems like Chen Sinan had not mentioned about getting their marriage certificates this whole time. Xin Siyues idea was simple. If he wasnt going to bring it up, then shes just going to ask. When Chen Sinan heard that, he ended up laughing instead. Finally feeling anxious? Xin Siyue, So, are you still going on that business trip? Xin Siyue, This and that are two different things, alright? Chen Sinan leaned down and chuckled. If you dont worry about me anymore you might lose me someday. But Xin Siyue wasnt worried at all. Whoever wants you can take you, I have no comments. After she said that, she pulled him down by his collar and threatened, However, if you really try to leave, Id probably never want you again for the rest of my life. Chen Sinan just raised his lips in a smile. Following that, he lowered his head to catch her lips, sucking down on them. Xin Siyue was getting breathless from the kiss and her shirt was disheveled. She wrapped one leg around his waist and allowed him to do as he pleased. Only, even after her body had gone soft and covered in sweat, he still kept rubbing on her when she was feeling empty, not at all giving her the joyful relief she wanted. Xin Siyue rubbed against his body uncomfortably and opened her misty eyes to look at him, only to see the tense look on his face with his forehead dripping with sweat. His eyes were like burning flames as he asked in a hoarse voice, Do you want me? Then, he kissed her all the way down from her clavicle. Xin Siyue whined, and finally, she could no longer hold herself back from saying, Yes! Chapter 173 - How Are They Comparable? (1) Chapter 173: How Are They Comparable? (1) Xin Siyue needed to travel because of her work, so Chen Sinan absorbed himself in pushing forward all the key schedules he had laid out for him next month to these next few days. He worked overtime every day, holding meetings, working, and engaging in social activities. But such a crazy way of working was actually quite similar to when he first took over the company. And recently, Assistant Want who had recently fallen in love with the goddess of his university during a party last time was troubledwhy did his wonderful days of getting off work on time end right after the boss lady went on a business trip? Assistant Wang felt bitter, but he had to accompany Chen Sinan while he worked overtime. After two or three days, he secretly sent a message to Xin Siyue, asking her when she was going to return under the pretense of concern. Xin Siyue who was currently packing up her luggage after finishing up her work responded to the message after seeing it. Is anything wrong, Assistant Wang? Is Chen Sinan looking for me? Assistant Wang responded cleverly, Madam, President Chen has been mentioning all day about when youre going to come back. When Xin Siyue saw the message, she couldnt help but smile. Then, she gave Chen Sinan a call and brought it up bluntly. Im heading back by plane this afternoon. Chen Sinan was looking through some documents when he heard that, and the corners of his lips couldnt help but widen. But when he responded to her, his voice was still relatively calm. Alright. Be careful. Ill come pick you up when youve arrived. Okay. Xin Siyue had wanted to say more, but for a moment, she didnt know where to start. But when she hung up, she felt pretty happy. Yeah. Just hearing his voice alone made her happy. Moreover, shell be able to see him soon. After sitting impatiently in his office for a few hours, Chen Sinan put on his suit jacket at five in the afternoon and grabbed his car keys, ready to head out to pick up his wife. Assistant Wang happened to be coming in with documents for him, but when he saw his actions, he asked, President Chen, are you getting off? Yeah. Chen Sinan looked at him and said, Hand me the documents. Assistant Wang was feeling giddy. Does this mean he doesnt have to work overtime today? After signing the documents, Chen Sinan ordered him, Tonights dinner is canceled. Assistant Wang could guess that the boss lady must have returned, so he quickly said, Yes, President Chen. His boss who had been working overtime every day for several days in a row is finally getting off work early, many of his colleagues in the office were relieved. One of them secretly asked Assistant Wang for the gossip. Assistant Wang, why did President Chen get off so early today? Assistant Wang gave her a deep look. Dont talk too much if you cant figure it out. Defeated, his colleague did not dare to talk anymore. On the other hand, Assistant Wang was walking back to his own office at a brisk pace. He finally held out! He can finally get off work and see his girlfriend! After picking up his wife from the airport, Chen Sinan brought her to dinner as well. After heading back, he didnt even wait for Xin Siyue to wash off the dust from her body before carrying her into the bedroom. The next day, Xin Siyue slept until noon before getting up. When Chen Sinan received her little gaze that was filled with complaints, he said thoughtfully, I helped you take the day off. Xin Siyue was a little unhappy. Ive been out on a business trip for so many days, theres still a lot of work piled up at the station! Chen Sinan chuckled. So, is your work more important than me? Xin Siyue put her arms around him instantly. How are they comparable? Chen Sinan huffed to show his dissatisfaction. Chapter 174 - How Are They Comparable? (2) Chapter 174: How Are They Comparable? (2) In order to celebrate the fact that the two of them finally got their marriage certificate, the two families met up to share a lively dinner. While they ate, the topic drew further and further. Several of the seniors have even went on to discuss the name of their child and even described what the child would look like. When they saw how enthusiastic these seniors were while they discussed the topic, Xin Siyue felt quite helplessto have a childisnt it a bit early to talk about this right now? Before the wedding, Xin Siyue tried her best and completed all her work because, after the marriage, she still had to take a month off to go on her honeymoon. Actually, Xin Siyue wasnt in high support of it when Chen Sinan mentioned the idea of going on a honeymoon, mainly because of their work. She asked him, Will it really be fine for you to take a month off with your two companies? In the joint efforts of he and Mao Shiyuan, his new company had grown to a considerable scale, which was quite amazing in the industry. But Chen Sinan wasnt the least bit perturbed. I have so many subordinates under me, if the company cant run as usual just because Im off for a month, then that means I dont have a good eye for people. Xin Siyue was speechless. Do people normally go around boasting like this? Chen Sinan immediately understood the deeper meanings of her words and said, Ive already talked to your higher-ups about your work. We can deal with whatever arises once we come back. Even though Xin Siyue was reluctant, she still went with it. A honeymoon, what wonderful memories you could make! How could you not go?! Two days before the wedding, Zhong Qin and Gu tong invited Xin Siyue out, and the three of them went out to have some crazy fun together. They had way too much fun and by the time they headed their separate ways, it was already one in the morning. The three of them drank alcohol, and the most drunk out of the three was Zhong Qin, but besides constantly feeling the need to bust out a tune every so often after getting drunk, she had no other strange habits. Chapter 175 - How Are They Comparable? (3) Chapter 175: How Are They Comparable? (3) On the contrary, Gu Tong ended up crying very hard after she got drunk, and naturally, the contents of her crying were all related to Xia Qiao. Even though Xin Siyue still remained sober, her feet still felt light when she walked. She heard Gu Tong who was tugging at her sleeve asking sentence after sentence. Si Yue, tell mewhy are there such cold men in this world? Ive already been so proactive and made myself so obvious, but he still acts so indifferentXia Qiao, youre really formidable When Xin Siyue saw her red her eyes were, she quickly comforted her. Alright, alright, stop crying. Who knows? Maybe one day hell be completely smitten by you. Even if he does, I dont want him anymore! Its not like I cant live without him! If Id known that chasing after a guy would be this painful, I wouldnt have done it! Si Yue, it really hurts If it really makes you feel that bad, just let him go. Theres still an endless field of grass beneath the sun Sob sob sob sob When Chen Sinan came to pick her up, this was the strange scene he saw: Zhong Qin shouting hysterically into a microphone while Gu Tong had collapsed into his wifes arms with tears covering her eyes, and his wife was comforting her. Even though it seemed like his wife was the only relatively normal one among them, her pink cheeks still sold her out. To think she really dares to get drunk to this degree! When Chen Sinan brought them back to the car, the two who were completely drunk said in unison, Siyue, youre seriously blessed! Yeah! President Chen is so considerate! Siyue, we have to come out drinking again next time! Yeah! I want to go to another KTV next time! And order more bottles of beer! Xin Siyue who still had a trace of sobriety left in her felt her head throbbing faintly. She raised her eyes carefully to look at a certain someones face, and as she expected, that face was devoid of expression. When the car started, she could vaguely hear his quiet threats. If you dare to try this again, youll know what the consequences are. Xin Siyue whose head was throbbing faintly, Haha, no more, I swear. After returning, Chen Sinan saw her unhurried to sleep. Instead, she was insistent on talking things out with him. Chen Sinan was flipping through his documents while talking with her. What was your friend crying to you about earlier? The eyes of the drunken Xin Siyue were very bright. Once that was mentioned, she responded excitedly, What else but Xia Qiao! You know Gu Tong, dont you? She was my classmate in A Uni and shes always been in love with Xia Qiao. It took her a lot to decide on going after him, but it ended up awful! Tell me, is it really that hard to chase after a guy? If it really is that hard, then I wouldnt dare do it either. Its just so sad! Chen Sinan listened to what she said and couldnt help but ask, So if you chased after me and I didnt immediately agree, would you also back out as well? Xin Siyue quickly waved her hands. Of course not! I wouldnt chase after you! Only people who want to have a bad time would take the initiative to go after you. Youre like a flower on top of a mountain, you cant just climb up and pick it, you have to wait for it to come into your arms by itself. After hearing this, Chen Sinan didnt know what sort of expression he should have. Forget it, its better to just coax her to bed. The more he talked with her, the more he felt like he was going to give himself internal injuries. It really wasnt the wise choice to speak with her on this topic. Chapter 176 - Wedding (1) Chapter 176: Wedding (1) April 28, this was a good day for a wedding. A wedding as grand as this had not been seen in Shengjin City for more than a few decades now. The entourage following along the grooms car to pick up the bride had formed an extensive line like a long dragon. You could hardly see the tail end even if you squinted your eyes from the front. There were many onlookers around, and even the cameras following their movements were countless. The air was filled with joy and sweetness all the way from the groom heading over to the brides house and pick her up towards the formal wedding event itself, Everyone attending the wedding were wealthy people, however, none of them dared to cause a disturbance in Chen Sinans presence, this was with the exception of Zhuang Zhe of course. After making the groom drink a few glasses of alcohol, he knew that Chen Sinan babied Xin Siyue. Once he was done with all the guest tables, he would help her drink half of the alcohol. So, after doing some thinking, he decided not to tease the bride. On the other hand, both the bridesmaids, Gu Tong and Zhong Jin, both helped her deal with a lot of the drinking. When she saw that the two of them were starting to appear slightly off halfway through the guest tables, only then did Xin Siyue had Chen Sinan help out a little. The two of them were able to evade the many guests coming to ask for a toast this way. After the event, besides being enraptured with endless joy, Xin Siyue had also felt bottomless exhaustion. At night, when everyone was finished playing around at the nuptial chamber, their new house finally quieted down. Xin Siyue plopped herself down on the bed without even taking off her dress and said tiredly, I finally understand why people say that getting married is draining! She had gotten up before the sun rose just to get her makeup done. Now that she was at the end of the entire process, her body felt like it could collapse at any moment. But still, she had to admit that when he mouthed the tender-filled words I do to her, she was undeniably smittened. Starting today, she would officially be recognized as Mrs. Chen. Now, the two of them will be there for each other at their lowest, and they would go hand in hand till they grew old. Chen Sinan Xin Siyue turned around and sat upright to watch her husband, the latter was currently taking off his white suit. She couldnt help but say with a big smile, You look really handsome in a white suit! Chen Sinans actions stopped for a brief moment. Instead of continuing what he was doing, he then began walking towards her and, with a smile, held her face and gave her a kiss. Xin Siyue wanted to avoid his sudden attack but failed to do so. She mumbled, I still havent wiped off my lipstick. When he heard this, Chen Sinan rubbed his finger over her lower lip. As expected, the tip of his finger was covered in red. However, when he saw that proud smile on her face, he neared his face once more with a chuckle and deliberately nibbled on her lips, laughing softly. I dont mind. The two of them laughed together, and when they finally separated, both their breaths were very unsteady. It wasnt hard to see that Chen Sinan was in a pretty good mood today. Since many guests came to them for a toast and he never refused any of them, he even gulped down a considerable amount of her portion of drinks. Xin Siyue reached out to stroke his handsome face, the warmth on her hand was extremely comfortable. When the slightly strong stench of alcohol on him wafted in her nose, she reached out and pushed him on the chest. Go wash up. Chen Sinan placed both his two hands at her sides and kept his eyes firmly on her, he had an unceasing smile on his face. He playfully invited her, Lets go in together? Xin Siyue pondered on it for a moment but gave him a firm refusal in the end, Lets not If they really went in together, then he definitely wouldnt just let her go without messing around inside the bathroom for a bit. However, Chen Sinan, who clearly had too much to drink, was clearly very intent on this idea. He moved his hand down beneath her waist and carried her up. It was evident he wasnt accepting any refusal from her, he said, Were going in together. Hey, Chen Sinan! I havent even taken off my dress yet! Xin Siyue slapped his arm to remind him. She wore a red qipao for the wedding today. The life-like embroidery of the dragons and phoenixes on her were very exquisite. This dress caught her eye at the very first glance when she went and picked out what to wear for this occasion. This was why she was worried that these clothes might get torn apart under his hands when they entered the bathroom. Chapter 177 - Wedding (2) Chapter 177: Wedding (2) After all, there was a lot of precedence to take note of. When he heard what she said, Chen Sinan stopped moving and looked down to observe the fastened knots on her dress. His eyes then trailed over to the revealed section of her delicate legs. Suddenly, he turned to a different direction, and while walking, he said, If you hadnt reminded me, I wouldve forgotten that you wore a qipao similar to that one ceremony at A Uni, as well as when you hid out in A City. However, at that time, the Qipao she wore had a shorter skirt and a higher slit. The deepest impression he had remembered of that time when he saw her in that dress was how he pressed her down, more impulsive than usual. He tore the dress and let her wrap her long, fair legs around his own body. Even though that idea had already been realized many times in the past, but today was a special day for them. Chen Sinans plan for tonight was that he definitely wouldnt let her rest early. And so, Xin Siyue, who was suddenly pressed up against the wall, raised her head up with difficulty. She felt the sensation of him burying his head down at her chest, biting down on each button to loosen the knots. With how meticulous his movements were, she finally understood something. No wonder Chen Sinan was always so fast at unbuttoning her clothes, because even the speed of him doing it with only his teeth was terrifying! Xin Siyue reached out to stroke his short hair that had been specially groomed for today. When she found that he was deliberately giving a nibble at the front of her fair chest, she played a trick on him as well and made a mess out of his handsome hairdo. Naturally, Chen Sinan noticed how she ruffled his head. He raised his eyes to give her a heavy look. Xin Siyue was startled by the raw look in his eyes, one that was filled with desire. With her body trembling now, Chen Sinan immediately drew an upward curve on his lips. Whats wrong? Did you finally realize that youre in trouble? Xin Siyue raised her head, sneering at him, As if I am! Are you really sure? After he said this, Chen Sinan put on an intense smile as he reached his hand inside of her split skirt. Xin Siyue couldnt help but cry out uncomfortably, but despite this, she didnt forget to interrogate him, Chen Sinan, tell me honestly, have you ever been with any other woman before me? Someone you havent told me about? When Chen Sinan heard this, he licked her earlobe on purpose and responded leisurely in a magnetic voice, Didnt you say you knew everything? How could you not know who my first woman was? Mh While Xin Siyue felt his naughty hands move about on her entire body, her hands slid down weakly. As she held onto his arm, she couldnt utter out a proper sentence anymore, You wait wait a Mh I cant wait anymore With her clothes torn open, Xin Siyue only had time to give the ragged dress one last pitiful glance. But soon after, she realized that compared to this outfit, she herself was no more lucky than it. After the night passed, she suffered the consequences of being tossed about the entire time, the result of this was that she got up late the next day. Then, she still had to drag her lifeless limbs and sore waist home to see the elders. After performing the tea ceremony and accepting the wedding gifts from her seniors, she couldnt hold on any longer. Once she finally returned back to Chen Sinans room, her body dropped on the bed and her consciousness disappeared, she slept like she was dead. When she woke up, she noticed that the sky was already dark. And so, she went downstairs and passed by the kitchen, but because of this, she happened to have heard Weng Yinling say to Chen Sinan inside, I know youre young and vigorous, and that you like to fool around, but Sinyue is just beginning to get used to this! You have to learn to hold back a bit, you cant just mess around without giving her any time to rest. Xin Siyue, who was accidentally eavesdropping on them, flushed instantly. When she entered through the bedroom last night, Chen Sinan had practically carried her in. And with how she threw everything aside to sleep for so long, theres no way their wise elders wouldnt know what was going on. Even though she herself knew what was going to happen, but with how obvious it was to those around them, it was still really embarrassing! Hmph, everything is Chen Sinans fault! On the other hand, Chen Sinan, who was slowly cutting potatoes inside, responded to them, Dont you, grandpa, and dad have always said that you wanted grandchildren? Im just giving you a chance to get one really quickly. Weng Yinlin really had no idea how cheeky her son was. Oh, you! Xin Siyues face was even redder now since she heard this. After clearing her throat, she called out to her, Mom. Chapter 178 - Wedding (3) Chapter 178: Wedding (3) As soon as she heard her daughters voice, Weng Yinlin turned around to look at the newly-wed bride. With a smile, she said, Youre awake, Siyue? Youre just in time. Aunt Songs soup is just about done. You should drink more of it later, its good for you. Thank you, mom. After Xin Siyue responded with a smile, she turned to look at Chen Sinan, her eyes obviously revealed her dissatisfaction how could he have the guts to just say such things?! Chen Sinan wiped his hands and walked towards her. Were going to have a fine meal tonight. Even though mom hasnt cooked for years, shes willing to cook up a storm just for you. Xin Siyue was quite surprised. She never expected that this fierce-looking woman named Weng Yinlin would actually have such a homely side to her outside of work. Let me help you with some dishes, mom. Its fine, Ill be done after this one. You must be tired, go rest in the living room. When Xin Siyue saw Weng Yinlins gaze that insinuated I know how you young people are, her face couldnt help but blush up. Once they were done cleaning up after dinner, Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan watched TV for a while with their grandfather. Suddenly, the old man said that his fingers were itching to play some chess again, so he asked Xin Siyue, My granddaughter-in-law, do you know how to play chess? Xin Siyue blinked her eyes before asking him, What type of chess, grandpa? Chinese chess or five-in-a-row? Why not both? Grandpa Chen suggested. Xin Siyue paused for a moment, thinking about something. She then responded back, Oh, sure! Ill go get the chess set from the study. After Xin Siyue ran upstairs, Chen Sinan, who was sitting on the center of the sofa, turned his gaze over to give the old man a glance, the meaning behind his eyes was very clear. Grandpa Chen rocked his chair and laughed when he noticed this. Its truly nice to have a granddaughter-in-law. At the very least, I have a chess partner now. Chen Sinan sighed and made a small comment, You should hold back a little, old man. = Grandpa Chen laughed once more. Since I cant mess with my own grandson, then playing around with my granddaughter-in-law seems rather quite fun. On the other hand, Xin Siyue, who didnt think too much of it, brought the chess set over. Once she finished setting up the game and played for a few moves with Grandpa Chen, she found that she was unable to hold on. She had also played chess with Chen Sinan before, however, both Grandpa Chen and Chen Sinan were completely different players. If she put on a spoiled or cute act against Chen Sinan, then she could get him to go easy on her like that. Moreover, he tended to be gentle with her in chess. He wasnt at all like Grandpa Chen who exposed his murderous aura in just a short amount of time. Since Xin Siyue wasnt very good at chess, it didnt really take her long to fall to a tragic end. It was almost as if Grandpa Chen was checking out her skill level. When they moved on to five-in-a-row, he clearly changed his tactics, almost as if he was slowly dicing her up slice after slice. These chess games were amazingly excruciating for Xin Siyue. And several times, she would look over to Chen Sinan, her pitiful eyes asking him for help. Chen Sinan could only scold her helplessly, You idiot! Just as he was about to teach her a few tricks, Grandpa Chen at the side stopped him immediately. Hey! No talking during chess! Chen Sinans eyes swept over to the proud Grandpa Chen, and then at his own wife. He could only endure this torturous moment with her. Every so often, he would reach out to hold her hand, stroking it with his fingers. At the end when Xin Siyues entire army was annihilated, she finally let out a sigh of relief. Grandpa Chen laughed and said, Its been a long time since Ive played chess with someone so bad at it. You should play some chess with me more in the future! Hm? Xin Siyue helplessly agreed with a smile on her face, but when she was about to pack up the chess set, she didnt expect that Chen Sinan would suddenly say, Old man, lets play a few games. When he heard this, Grandpa Chen was overjoyed. Sure, come on! Ever since he took over the company, Chen Sinan had been coming home less and less, there was no need to even mention of him having the time to play a calming game of chess with his grandfather. And so, Grandpa Chen rubbed his hands together, clearly ready for a fight. But in just a few minutes, Xin Siyue sat wide-eyed at the completely one-sided chess game. Chen Sinan stood up and spoke like he didnt even break a sweat, Lets go, my wife. Its time for us to sleep. Grandpa Chens face was dark. Meanwhile, Xin Siyue was stunned. Chen Sinan, thank you for your grace last time. ====== Chen Sinan huffed to show his dissatisfaction. However, Xin Siyue didnt care. After she was done eating, she went upstairs to get changed. But halfway through it, Chen Sinan barged his way in. He leaned against the doorway, and while watching her continue changing, he spoke leisurely, After youre done, lets go and get our stuff settled. Xin Siyue first finished putting on her clothes, and as she was fixing up her hair, she asked him, Settle what? Chen Sinan responded calmly, Our marriage certificate. Xin Siyue, who was busy trying to tie her hair, paused mid-way. She turned around and looked at him. So youre saying were going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our certificate? He silently smiled at her. If we dont get it at the Civil Affairs Bureau, then where else should we get it? After she heard this, Xin Siyue couldnt help her mouth from forming a wide smile. She quickly replied, Ah, my familys household register is with my parents. Then we can get it from father and mother-in-law later. Okay. Xin Siyue stared at him, the smile on her face didnt show any signs of fading away. After taking a trip to the Xin family house, they headed for the Civil Affairs Bureau. In just less than an hour, they were back out again. Xin Siyue had finally and legally become a married woman now. She looked at the small red book in her hands and felt a little dazed while staring at it. Sigh, Ive finally become a wed woman in the eyes of the law. Chen Sinan, who was currently backing up the car, glanced at her and remarked in a cold tone, You sound quite disappointed, Mrs. Chen. Xin Siyue leaned over towards him and smiled. But with such a handsome beauty to stay with me for the rest of my life, I think its worth it. A beauty? Chen Sinan raised a brow while thinking to himself, Ill definitely have to deal with her tonight! Chapter 179 - Who Are You Trying to Seduce? (1) Chapter 179: Who Are You Trying to Seduce? (1) On the third day after their marriage, Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue went according to their plans and began their honeymoon trip. Since Xin Siyue didnt really know much of the famous scenic areas around the area, all of it was arranged by Chen Sinan. They both watched the sun rise up from the edge of a seascape, ate boundless desserts, visited famous and towering mountains, saw amazingly clear and beautiful waters the two of them enjoyed various kinds of awe-struck sceneries together. Though, having to accompany him in his messing about during the night after a big day was really tiring, Xin Siyue had to admit that moving to one place after another, delving into the customs of all these different locations, was both interesting and rewarding. In the blink of an eye, half a month had already passed. During these past two days, both of them happened to be staying on an island. The weather on this island was very cool. After waking up and dressing himself, Chen Sinan fiddled with the camera, he was looking through the photos he took of her these past two days here. The smiling her, the her who deliberately hid from the camera, the time when she stood peacefully in front of the sunset, the moments when she was playing with the water each image of these images of Xin Siyue was like a beautiful painting, it carved itself deeply into the depths of his heart. While looking at these photos, a smile slowly grew on Chen Sinans lips subconsciously. He got up and went back to the bedroom, only to find a small little ball nestled inside of the white blankets. While walking over to her, he shouted, Honey, its time to wake up! The person on the bed didnt seem to move, she also showed no signs of waking up. Honey, its time to wake up! The sun is already up. Chen Sinan sat on the edge of the bed and lifted up the blanket. Didnt you say you wanted to go swimming? If the sun gets too hot later youll Xin Siyue, who was completely exhausted and in need of some shut-eye, was startled to find her blanket suddenly pulled away. However, since she couldnt even bear to open her eyes right now, she pulled another corner of the blanket and covered it over her head, wrapping herself up tightly. Upon seeing this, Chen Sinan laughed. He leaned over towards her and brought out his best threat, If you dont get up then I guess were not going out today. We can just spend our day on the hotel bed. After he said this, his hand slowly crawled into the blanket. Xin Siyue hurriedly avoided his hand as if it was made of electricity. She quickly sat up and opened her sleepy eyes, saying, Fine! Im getting up! Because she suddenly did this while half-asleep, she couldnt help herself from falling forward, which happened to be right into Chen Sinans arms. The latter reached out to stroke her hair. After helping her smooth out her messy bed head, he said in a soft and soothing tone, If youre really tired, then we dont have to go out today. We can just reschedule for tomorrow. Xin Siyue closed her eyes as she shook her head in his arms. Wouldnt it be the same if we go tomorrow? She then raised her head to look at him. Are you not going to mess around tonight? Chen Sinan proudly and firmly expressed himself, Wouldnt I be doing myself wrong if I dont mess around during my honeymoon? Xin Siyue, I really want to slap his face with my slippers! In the end, Xin Siyue still managed to fight for another half hour of sleep for herself. After washing up and having breakfast, it was already close to half-past ten. Xin Siyue took her sun hat and sunglasses while pulling his arm. Come on! Lets go! I had a look at the beaches here the other day. The water is very clear! Heh, so now you feel excited? Who was the one who wouldnt get up earlier? Xin Siyue naturally ignored his remarks. After playing to her hearts content, Xin Siyue laid down on a lounge chair. She leisurely watched the other people on the beach having fun. Chen Sinan, who was lying close beside her, would take a few shots of his wife with the camera he brought from time to time. Chapter 180 - Who Are You Trying to Seduce? (2) Chapter 180: Who Are You Trying to Seduce? (2) When Xin Siyue turned back to look at him, she just happened to see him take a few more shots of her. An idea suddenly sprouted up in her mind, she got up and went to grab his camera. I want to take a few photos of you too! I want to show them to mom, dad, and grandpa! Chen Sinan quickly evaded her, the expression on his face was clearly unwilling. Xin Siyue pretended to be angry. Chen Sinan, youre a big boss but arent you being too petty? I just want to take a few pictures! However, the reason why Chen Sinan did this was actually due to another reason. A few days ago, she also said that she wanted to take a few photos. But in the end, once the camera left her hands, only a few photos were left of the dozens he took. After realizing this when they returned to the hotel last night, he asked her what happened, only to hear her respond casually while watching TV and eating fruits, The photos you took were too ugly, thats why I deleted them. Chen Sinan was pissed! He clearly thought that all the photos he took of his wife looked super good! And so, he was so angry that night that he deliberately went at it with even greater force than usual. As a result, during the entire ordeal, she ended up clenching her hands on his shoulders and told him to slow down. But in the end, she still tried to coax him with a few pleasant words, it was only then did he let her go with reluctance. With what happened, Xin Siyue, who had been taught a lesson, never played with his camera again. However, not wanting to play with it and him not wanting to give it to her were two different issues! Xin Siyue pounced over at him in an instant, trying to snatch the camera. However, Chen Sinan raised his hand up high and didnt allow her to get what she wanted. Xin Siyue was so angry that she was just about to bite him, but someone suddenly appeared with a hearty laugh. Why are the two of you fighting? When she heard the clear voice of the man, she looked over towards the source and saw a man with a bronzed and firm chest exposed in front of her, he had a smile on his face. Xin Siyue was just about to ask who he was, but Chen Sinan reached and quickly pressed her head to his chest. After narrowing his eyes slightly, he asked in an imposing manner, Who are you?! Dont get me wrong, sir. The two of you seemed like you were here on holiday, so I wanted to tell you that coincidentally, the son of the richest man in town is getting married today. With many people around here having gone to watch the event, I just passed by to see if the two of you were interested, if you are, then you can go see it as well. Oh yeah, its right at Chongguang Street. Also, theres a very spiritual man there today, he can tell a persons fate. But he wont tell someone their fortune so easily. Hell only mention it if fate calls for it. After saying this with a smile, he added, People who come here to play would generally try their luck, if they actually can get their fortune told, they usually consider their trip successful. Chen Sinan laughed in disdain when he heard this. That sounds ridiculous. Who the hell even believes in that kind of stuff in this day and age? Xin Siyue felt that the man was just being nice and informed them. With that thought in mind, she pulled Chen Sinans hand and told him to lay it off. Chen Sinans eyes darkened. He slightly raised his chin and said to the man, Thank you very much, but me and my wife still has a lot of private things to say, can you leave now? When he heard this, the man laughed awkwardly and quickly excused himself. Xin Siyue came out of his arms, she had a smile on her face as she asked, President Chen, whats this murderous aura Im feeling from you? What are you trying to do? Chen Sinan snorted. There was no way he would say that the guy from earlier had his eyes all over her when they were talking earlier. Chapter 181 - Who Are You Trying to Seduce? (3) Chapter 181: Who Are You Trying to Seduce? (3) Even though she wasnt exposed due to her long sun jacket, but having their woman being looked at so bluntly would still make any man unhappy. Chen Sinan slapped her springy hips and scolded her, Hurry and get up. Go back to the hotel and get changed. Who are you trying to seduce in those clothes?! Wasnt he the one who chose this outfit for her?! Xin Siyue glared at him. She didnt even feel like talking to him anymore. After walking a few steps behind him, she grumbled, Youre obviously just jealous. Chen Sinan who was walking at the front stopped and turned back to stare at her, asking, What did you say? Xin Siyue quickly shot him a sweet smile. Nothing! After the two returned to their hotel and took a shower, they didnt really have any plans after lunch. Feeling quite bored, Xin Siyue thought about the suggestion that man gave them earlier. Why dont we go look at the wedding? With people like that man around here, how high-end could a wedding from this sort of place be? Xin Siyue was speechless for a moment. But then, she rose up to refute his statement, Youre just being unreasonable! Chen Sinan shot a glance at her in response, he couldnt be bothered to argue. However, he still brought her out to see the wedding. The theme of the wedding was A Hundred Flowers, the decorations of the venue was very romantic. Xin Siyue felt that if the bride and groom were just a bit more pleasing to the eyes, then it wouldnt hurt the visual experience as much. After they recounted the long and sweet process of them meeting each other, all the way to falling in love and getting married, Xin Siyue said to Chen Sinan cheerfully, Even though the two of them just got married after their blind date a year ago, how do they still have so much to talk about in between? Chen Sinan agreed with her. Yeah, theyre not as pitiful as I am. Xin Siyue, who was looking quietly at the bride and groom on the stage, Her intuition told her that she should probably remain silent right now. The climax of every wedding was the tossing of the bouquet by the bride. Xin Siyue, who had never participated in anyones wedding, wanted to join in for some fun. However, before she could even do anything, she ended up being pulled out of the crowd by Chen Sinan. Xin Siyue struggled for a bit before finally getting out of his hold. What are you doing! Mrs. Chen, should I remind you that youre already married? Xin Siyue pouted at his words and replied, Then I wont catch it, Ill just watch at the side. Chen Sinan smirked. Mrs. Chen, do you really like flowers so much because you want to get married again? Xin Siyue deliberately teased him. Well, if Im going to get married again, then it has to be with a different groom, you know? To keep things fresh. Chen Sinan gritted his teeth and reached out, wanting to grab her, however, she quickly evaded him. President Chen, lets go have a walk somewhere else! Chen Sinan looked at her, and in the end, he only chuckled helplessly. Xin Siyue stopped to browse every so often as they walked, they finally halted when they saw a shop that looked quite historical and antique. She couldnt stop herself from looking around. Out of all these buildings in this area, this was the most distinctive of them all. Xin Siyue looked at the name and subconsciously read it out, See Into Fate and Destiny. After reading it out, she was just about to mention how mysterious the name was when she suddenly remembered what the man at the beach said to her. With a grin, she looked at Chen Sinan and opened her mouth, I didnt think such a place was here. When Chen Sinan saw the name, he didnt feel too good about it. Just as he was about to tell her that these were all scams, he saw a humpbacked old man walk out from inside. That muscles on the old mans face were sagging, but those eyes of his, which held a glint of amber, was still particularly sharp. Xin Siyue looked at him, and before she could say anything, she heard the man ask them, Sir, madam, why dont you come inside for some fortune-telling? Chapter 182 - Finding Joy In Battling Fate (1) Chapter 182: Finding Joy In Battling Fate (1) Why dont the two of you come inside for some fortune-telling? As the elderly man stared at the both of them, his amber-colored eyes attracted many peoples attention. Xin Siyue slightly widened her eyes at his words, she didnt understand what was happening. Didnt people say that this remarkable and powerful elderly man rarely tells fortune for people? Xin Siyue had never held superstitious beliefs towards these unreliable matters, but she was still very curious. Therefore, when her gaze landed on Chen Sinan, she wanted to inquire with him. However, his gaze was darkening. It was rare for him to reply in a polite and respectful tone. Many thanks, but we dont need it. Chen Sinan took a step forward and held Xin Siyues hand, he was about to leave. That was when he heard the elderly man say in a firm voice, Soulless body. Hm? These random words made Xin Siyue pause her footsteps, she pulled Chen Sinan to a stop, and turned around to look at the elderly man The elderly mans amber eyes were bright and shocking. Xin Siyue even noticed that she didnt need to observe closely in order to see the wrinkles within the beautiful pupils of his eyes. Uh Before Xin Siyue could finish her words, she watched on as the elderly man glanced at Chen Sinan, directing his words at him, As time flies, one will know where they belong to in the future. You guys are not fated and you guys will hurt each other and yourselves. Chen Sinan, who heard this, suddenly looked gloomy. Xin Siyue remained stunned in her original spot, she couldnt say anything even after a while. After the elderly man stared at their tightly linked hands, he shook his head and softly chuckled. When he was done, he turned around and staggered off. As Xin Siyue stared at his fading figure, her heart suddenly felt heavy. She looked towards Chen Sinan and pretended to act casual. Do you think hes saying the truth? It was evident that Chen Sinan didnt want to stay here anymore. He held her hands and kept on walking forward, he replied to her in a cold voice, I dont believe in non-existent matters like this. Xin Siyue chuckled and responded, Yeah, I dont believe in it either. The two of them returned back in their hotel, as they werent in the mood to stroll around anymore, they simply planned to go back the next day. What the two didnt know was that when the elderly man returned to his room, a young and tall man sat by the censer. And yet, the elderly man didnt even glance at the latter and just merely said, You can go back now. The young man laughed and played with his phone, however, he asked the old man with a sincere tone, Didnt Mister want me to tell them their fortune a few days ago? Why is it that when they just passed by, you were so eager to walk out? This elderly man is becoming older now and usually does whatever he wants, please head back. Sorry to bother you, Mister. The young man stood up and politely bowed, he shortly left the room afterwards. After he got in the car, he made a call. When the other line picked up, he softly laughed and then said, Wenyang, do you have good intentions for worrying about the newlywed couple? Or bad intentions? Kaivion, stop speaking like that. Whether its out of good or bad intentions, Im just purely worried. To her response, Kaivion didnt really care that much. He replied, The both of them seem to be quite lovey-dovey. The girl has a nice figure and the guy is quite handsome. If youre not interested in Mo Bei because of him, I can kind of understand. After all, hes so much more handsome than Mo Bei. Upon hearing this, at the other end of the call, Sheng Wenyang tugged the corner of her lips silently. She didnt want to talk about this with him. She knew that the talented Kaivion held the same profession as her. After he graduated and returned to the country, he didnt engage in designing jewelry. But Instead, he found a fascinating island and spent his time every day bathing in the sunlight, freely living with beautiful women. She had a deep relationship with him and this was all thanks to Mo Bei, who was the middleman. This time, when she found out that Chen Sinan was going to stay a few days on the island, she suddenly remembered the mysterious elderly man. She had gone to see Kaivion in the past, and when he brought her over, he told her about the legend. Even though Sheng Wenyang held no superstitious beliefs regarding this, she was still quite curious at the moment and wanted to see if she was pleasing to the elderly mans eyes. After she went in to test it out, the elderly man faintly told her, Please go back. The moment Sheng Wenyang heard this, she knew what he meant. She wanted to say something else, however, the elderly man quietly said, I am not interested in someone who Im not fated to see. Just right then, Sheng Wenyang felt quite awkward. Kaivion, who was standing just three meters from her, was chuckling at the sight. Right now, what she cared about the most was what the elderly man said. Kaivion kept her in suspense. Do you know he told their fortune for them? Really? When Sheng Wenyang heard this, her heart thumped rapidly before sinking back. Wh-what did he say? Kaivion paused for a bit and carefully recalled, he then said, He said something like go back to wherever you came from, otherwise you will hurt each other and yourselves. The reason why he knew this was because he was hiding by the door, it took him a lot of effort just to hear this. Chapter 183 - Finding Joy In Battling Fate (2) Chapter 183: Finding Joy In Battling Fate (2) Wenyang, you know them, right? What does he mean by this? Yet, Sheng Wenyang was just murmuring the sentences before she went silent. Before she hung up, she hurriedly said, Kaivion, thank you. Ill treat you out next time. No problem! Sheng Wenyang was in a trance as she thought about the words. She said to herself, Hurting one another and themselves. So they wont have a pleasant ending just as Shi Shi had said? Sheng Wenyang couldnt describe the feeling in her heart. As it turns out, destiny really exists. Heh. After Xin Siyue returned to the hotel, while Chen Sinan was in the shower, she made an excuse up saying that she left something by the beach and wanted to go back and look for it. Chen Sinan replied in the shower, After Im done showering, Ill go with you. Theres no need. Its not far from here anyway and Ill be back soon. Xin Siyue slipped out of the hotel and called a taxi, heading back to the rebirth street. The sun had set and the golden ray of light enveloped the silent road, making it seem more and more mysterious. Xin Siyue stood in front of the sign that said see through ones life, still hesitating. Since youre here, why dont you come in? A voice rang from inside the room, mixed with an arrogant tone. It seemed like he had been expecting her to come find him again. Xin Siyues face turned gloomy and walked in with a troubling heart. The decorations in the room were simple and adorned. Xin Siyue took a look at the exquisite censer again, with white fogs rising up. Inside the room, there was a faint and refreshing scent. It smelled good, but it also made one dizzy. Hello Sit. The elderly man stared at her and indicated the wooden chair in front of him. Thank you. What do you want to ask? He flipped through the book in his hands; Xin Siyue couldnt understand the diagrams and words on there at all. What do you know? This man knows a lot! Can this great master reveal everything then? Everything? Its against the natural law of things to even pry into peoples lives. If I tell you everything, this man will probably suffer the wrath of Heaven and die. This explanation Xin Siyue still didnt understand. If thats the case, why does the great master still insist on prying into peoples lives? I find joy in battling fate! Hahaha! The elderly man suddenly laughed proudly. Xin Siyue tugged the corner of her lips, speechless. I will only answer two questions. The elderly man suddenly said seriously. Xin Siyue was stunned and she thought about it before asking, Will the people in this world die? No. The elderly man suddenly laughed. Of all living things in the world, a human life is the most valuable. Xin Siyue pondered and asked her question, Will I dietwo years later? The elderly man glanced at her and said, Life is death and death is life. Xin Siyue became shocked and then her face paled. That elderly man gazed at her and suddenly sighed. Theres a law for time and space and everyones lives are up to fate. Xin Siyues eyes became moist, but in the end, she contained her composure. She stood up and placed all the cash she had brought on her, on the table. She smiled at him and bid farewell. Great master, many thanks. Xin Siyue walked out of the so-called see through this life, dazed and an unwell expression. While she was in a trance, she suddenly looked up to see the slender figure leaning against the street lights in front of her. He wore blank pants and an army green jacket, his hair slightly wet. Xin Siyue was unable to describe her complicated feelings right now. She had just found out that she would have to leave him one today, but the moment she stepped out of the door, she saw this man who had given her the so-called warmth and love. Chen Sinan He looked up and started to walk towards her. After he linked their hands, he led the way back and asked, Did you find out everything you wanted to know? Xin Siyue tugged the corner of her lips and remained silent. Chen Sinan didnt look at her either, his gaze far in the distance. He suddenly said, I originally dont believe in fate, but your presence made me believe in it more or less. But, I dont believe in it completely because no matter what happens in the future, I believe that we will be together forever. Therefore, dont think too much about it. Xin Siyue tugged a smile and replied, I wasnt thinking about anything. Chen Sinan looked at her incredulously. Your smile is ugly. If you dont want to smile, dont smile. Xin Siyues smile faded and she tightened their linked hands. She lowered her voice and said, If I suddenly leave one day, what will you do? Then, I will come and accompany you. What if you are unable to accompany me? Then, I will look over you forever. Ok, Chen Sinan, lets keep our words! Yes. So, promise me that you wont overthink. Ok. Xin Siyue looked at him and smiled, walking shoulder to shoulder with their hands linked. But, she only saw his slight smile in time, neglecting the slight flickering in his eyes. Chapter 184 - Accompany My Wifey (1) Chapter 184: Accompany My Wifey (1) The short honeymoon ended and the two arrived in Sheng Jin City, staying in the Chen Residence for most of the day. Xin Siyue gifted the exquisite presents the two had chosen along their trip for each elder. Old man Chen was rocking on his rattan chair and he smiled happily. Granddaughter-in-law, youre finally back. Theres someone who can play chess with this old man now. Chen Sinan who was elegantly pouring tea said without raising his head, My wifey wont be playing chess with you. When old man Chen heard this, he grabbed the cane by his side and slammed it against Chen Sinans slender legs. Although Chen Sinans gaze was on the teacup, he quickly moved his legs and successfully dodged old man Chens attack. Xin Siyue who stood behind Chen Sinan and was talking to Weng Yinlin held her breath as she saw old man Chen waving his cane towards him. She was frightened that Chen Sinan might suffer a beating, but thankfully he seamlessly dodged it. She couldnt help but gasp and then say, Grandfather! Weng Yinlin stood across from her and naturally saw how frightened she was. She patted Xin Siyues hands and smiled, saying, You dont need to be nervous. Your grandfather and him have always been acting this way since Sinan was a child. For the majority of the times, unless Chen Sinan purposefully endured the beating, otherwise based on the old mans moves, how could he land a hit on Chen Sinan? When Chen Sinan heard this, he smiled at the old man Chen and said, I have a wife now, so take it easy. What Chen Sinan wanted to say was that he has a wife who loves him dearly; however, he was scared that he might provoke this lonely old man. Therefore, he changed his word choice in the end. Stop being proud. Plus, I wasnt asking for your opinion. I was asking for my granddaughter-in-laws. My opinion is her opinion. Old man Chen coldly humphed. You think were in a feudal dynasty? Men being the head of the family has already been out of date. Chen Sinan didnt care about this. I have the final say no matter what. With Xin Siyues non-existent chess skills, she would probably be bullied for a few years by grandfather and still wouldnt stand a chance against him. He could bully her however he wanted to. But he would not allow for other people to do so. Chen Sinan finished pouring the tea and stood up, saying, Wifey, lets go over to father-in-law and mother-in-laws house while its still early. Ok. Xin Siyue nodded. She had prepared gifts for Chen Familys elders, so she naturally prepared some for her family too. She already told Chen Familys elders that she would be eating at the Xin Family. Once Weng Yinlin heard this, she responded, Ok, quickly go. If youre going to stay there for dinner too, give us a call. Xin Siyue nodded and before she left, she smiled and said to old man Chen, Grandfather, when I have time, Ill come back and play chess with you! Old man Chen nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Chen Sinan and purposefully dragged his words, As expected, my granddaughter-in-law is more considerate. Weng Yinlin smiled and agreed. Father, I think so too. Chen Sinan didnt care and said to Xin Siyue, Wifey, do you hear this? Its better if we have a daughter in the future. A cute daughter that looks like himXin Siyue was touched by the thought. How could they control whether they give birth to a girl or boy? Instead, Xin Siyue retorted, If I give birth to a boy, then Chen Sinan believed that this was a very easy issue to resolve. If we get a boy, lets continue to try hard to get a girl. Chapter 185 - Accompany My Wifey (2) Chapter 185: Accompany My Wifey (2) Chen Sinan believed that this was a very easy issue to resolve. If we get a boy, lets continue to try hard to get a girl. Heh. You think Im a pig?! Xin Siyue finally understood. Chen Sinan wont stop until they get a daughter. After they came back, they rested for a day. Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue already started slacking for about a months worth of work. As the Chairman of the company, Chen Sinan was quite unruly and comforted with leaving his work during the honeymoon period. He shut his laptop down, his work phone, and even his personal phone. He went as far as to buy a new phone and the only contact he had in his phone was Xin Siyue. It came down to the point where Mao Shiyuan had called them dozens of times because of an urgent matter, and he nearly decided to fly over after the call didnt go through. Assistant Wang who couldnt get a hold of his boss also felt helpless. His boss was the head of the company, so what could he do? He tried his best to handle the matters to the best of his abilities. Regarding the important documents and decisions, he had to wait for Chen Sinan to return to the company to handle it. Ever since Chen Sinan started working, besides taking a break for a few days during Chinese New Year, he never took a break longer than ten days. Since he decided to take a whole months break off, hed been real busy after coming back. He finished handling the matters of the company in the day and had to spend the evening discussing about his own company with Mao Shiyuan. Although Chen Sinans company touched upon many different fields, his main focus was on developing the real estate. Before his marriage, the company bought the most luxurious district within the center of Sheng Jin City, planning to build it into residential area and amusement city; after all, the land was vast enough to divide it into two sections. But lately, the project has just been launched, but none of the designs were to Mao Shiyuans satisfaction. Mao Shiyuan knew that if he wasnt satisfied, it would be even harder for Chen Sinan who mastered the area of architecture to be pleased with the designs. As expected, he picked a few ok designs for Chen Sinan to see and the latters face turned gloomy. The Design Department should get new employees. Hearing his comment, Mao Shiyuan naturally responded, Of course! I knew you definitely wont be pleased. Even I wasnt! Give it back and let them come up with another design overnight. Mao Shiyuan said, These designs were the products of them working overtime continuously. Chen Sinan picked a design up and glanced at it. If the Design Department cant come up with a satisfying design within three days, fire them all. Mao Shiyuan said, youre cruel. You and I both know how much effort we poured into this project. If we casually accept any designs, anyone can be a part of the Design Department. Mao Shiyuan observed a moment of silence in tribute for the Design Department and then he said, I understand. Chen Sinan sighed and picked up a document from a side, making a side comment, How did they get into the Design Department with this level of achievement? Mao Shiyuan judged the matter as it stands. You think everyone is on the same level as you? Chen Sinan looked up and stared at him, before looking back down at his document, not wanting to explain to him. Mao Shiyuan suddenly suggested, A-Nan, how about you personally take on this matter? What? Design one yourself. I remember how I praised you ceaselessly when I saw the design of your new house! I dont feel like it. He didnt want to become rich because of his designs. His design was only for people who deserve it, like Xin Siyue. Chapter 186 - Accompany My Wifey (3) Chapter 186: Accompany My Wifey (3) He didnt want to become rich because of his designs. His design was only for people who deserve it, like Xin Siyue. Hearing how he rejected bluntly, Mao Shiyuan said with regret, I am certain that you wont be satisfied with anyones designs, so why dont you accept my suggestion? I wont accept it. Chen Sinan stared at the document and said, If you have any other important matters, quickly tell me. I need to rush home to accompany my wifey. Mao Shiyuan was speechless. He was about to explode. Did he need to be so ruthless and merciless?! Dont you know that single people are afraid of dog food?! Chen Sinan didnt care about, still returning home before 10pm. He noticed that the lights were on in the room, but the living room was quiet. He took off his suit jacket and returned to the bedroom, noticing that no one was there as well. After that, he went to the study and as expected, she was sitting in front of the laptop and quickly typing up the hosts script. Chen Sinan stood by the door and his gaze landed on her red shoulder dress. Her white and smooth shoulders were exposed and under the charming red dresss contrast, it made her skin appear to be even more smooth and delicate. Chen Sinans gaze landed down and he stared at her thighs. It was slender and thin, revealing her white long legs, making him entranced. Because she was sitting, the dress only covered half of her thighs. The feeling of having a beautiful woman waiting for him at home wasnt that bad. Chen Sinan suddenly felt his mouth and tongue becoming dry. As he walked towards her, he tugged on his tie, unbuttoning a few of his buttons. The collar of his white shirt was opened wide, revealing his fine collarbone. When Xin Siyue heard footsteps, she knew that it was him. Without looking back, she asked, Youre back? Mhm, Im back. As Chen Sinan said this, he bent down and hugged her slender waist from behind. Dont mess with me. Im trying to finish my draft! The moment Chen Sinan hugged her, he buried his head on her shoulder and took in her faint and refreshing fragrance. First, the earlobes, and then he slowly moved down, sucking her neck. Xin Siyue was worried that it may leave a mark on his neck, so she hurriedly stopped him, I need to go on a show tomorrow! I know. Chen Sinan said this, but carried her, sitting in her original spot. Meanwhile, he had her open her legs and sit on his thighs. Her dress wasnt even long in the first place and after this, it was even more Xin Siyue didnt even have the courage to look down. She slightly glared at him and said, Dont mess with me. Im not done yet! Ill hug you while you write your draft? Xin Siyue rolled her eyes. How could she remain calm enough to keep writing? No, did you shower yet? Youre going to wash for me? Go by yourself! Xin Siyue wanted to push him away, but Chen Sinan held her back in his arms again. He lowered his head and kissed her chest, smiling and he said, This dress is pretty nice. A shoulder nightgown with a V-neck was not only sexy, but also very convenient do a certain something. For example, it took little to no effort to slide his hand up from the bottom of her dress. He could casually rub her breasts as he wished. Xin Siyue slightly panted and slapped his shoulder, saying, Softer! I cant. After he finished his words, Chen Sinan looked down and captured her lips, harshly ravaging her taste while hugging her to the bathroom. Xin Siyue was speechless. He wanted to torment her even while shes in the shower. Hes quite annoying sometimes. Chapter 187 - Meeting this Shameless Person was Enough! (1) Chapter 187: Meeting this Shameless Person was Enough! (1) After that, Chen Sinan embraced her while they were going to sleep. Xin Siyue just finished showering, so she still remained energetic. She was in his arms and she wriggled around, her fingers slowly making its way to the collar of Chen Sinans pajamas. While she was reminiscing the feeling of ecstasy, Chen Sinan suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed her mischievous hands. He asked, Another round? Xin Siyue recalled their rounds in the bathroom and her body sensitively trembled. She smiled and withdrew her hands, laying on him well-behaved. I cant fall asleep. Cant fall asleep? I have a way to make you tired, want to try it? Xin Siyue stared at his gaze harboring evil intentions and immediately covered herself with the blankets. I really have no strength. Dont mess with me. Plus, I need to wake up early tomorrow to write my draft. Chen Sinan was just scaring her anyway. Therefore, he followed along and said, Quickly close your eyes and sleep. Xin Siyue widened her watery eyes and suddenly smiled, saying, Mao Shiyuan just called me. What? Xin Siyue didnt hide this from him either, directly saying, He told me that your company is planning to rebuild an amusement city as well as a residential area. But, I heard that there is not a single design that youre satisfied with? Then what? Are you trying to help him convince me? Xin Siyue smiled and hugged him. I do want you to create your own design. In the past when I was in school, I heard that your designs were really unique and pleasing to the eyes. I only saw a few of yours and still didnt get the chance to see a completed construction project of yours. Xin Siyue said, feeling regretful. She reached over and shook his arms, acting cute, How about it? Why dont you design one of your own? I want to take a look. Chen Sinan laughed and reminded, Lady Chen, need me to remind you again that I personally designed our house? This is different! Xin Siyue said, You even kept this from me in the past. You dare to mention this now! Ok, fine. Lets go sleep. Chen Sinan finished saying this and pulled the blankets up, making sure it covered her completely. Xin Siyue didnt think that he would actually agree, feeling a bit excited. You really agreed? Chen Sinan who closed his eyes hummed in agreement. Thats great! Then I want to see the design. After the construction is complete, you have to take me over as well. Chen Sinan chuckled and asked, Would you be able to understand this? I dont care if I dont understand. I just want to take a look. Therefore, on the second day, Chen Sinan arrived at the company and sneered at Mao Shiyuan when he mentioned about the design again. Youre quite competent, knowing who to ask for help now. Mao Shiyuan was stunned momentarily and then understood. Xiyue didnt disappoint him. She mentioned it to him? He chuckled and explained, I just didnt know what to do, so I had no choice but to ask sister-in-law. Therefore, A-Nan, please just agree to my suggestion. Chen Sinan tossed the annotated document he finished looking at in Mao Shiyuans hands and said, Hurry up. If you dare to ask Siyue for help again regarding work, well settle old and new accounts together! Mao Shiyue chuckled and happily walked out of the office. With Chen Sinan, within three days, he could definitely hand over a refreshing piece of work. Regarding next time, whenever it was, hed think about it when the time comes! What a pity that he couldnt use the resources to the best of his needs. Mao Shiyuan thought about this and wondered if he should invite Sin Xiyue out for lunch to thank her. Mao Shiyuan called and thanked her, explaining why he wanted to invite her out for lunch. Xin Siyue directly said, Im quite busy recently. You can just owe me a meal and we can eat out whenever I have time. Mao Shiyuan agreed quickly, Sure! The morning after three days, Chen Sinan had already gone to work when Xin Siyue woke up. She turned around to see papers by the bedside cabinet. She curious and grabbed it, becoming shocked after. It was an extremely detailed design of the different floors in the building as well as its arrangements. Chapter 188 - Meeting this Shameless Person was Enough! (2) Chapter 188: Meeting this Shameless Person was Enough! (2) Xin Siyue looked at this for a while and took this to her heart. In the end, she couldnt help but faintly smile. Chen Sinan was indeed awesome. Since the project in Chen Sinans company was launched, he became even busier, having less time to come pick her up after work now. Xin Siyue didnt mind anyway. Instead, she felt that he was overly busy, so she decided to let him sleep for some extra time in the morning, while she drove to work by herself. But she got into an accident this day driving back home. While Xin Siyue stopped her car to wait for the red light, the car in front of her suddenly backed a few steps for some unknown reason. Therefore, the cars gloriously bumped one another. Xin Siyue didnt pay attention to the brand of car, but noticed that the paint on the car bumper was scratched. Xin Siyue didnt even have time to check on her car when the person got out of their car and knocked on her car window fiercely. Advertisement The moment she slid the car windows down, that person reached over and grabbed the collar of her shirt, yelling, Do you know how to drive?! How much are you going to pay for crashing into my new car?! Xin Siyue had never been treated like this before, so her face turned gloomy and said sternly, Let go! Believe me or not but Ill call the police! Seeing her unfriendly expression and her harsh gaze, the person loosened their grip but said proudly, My car just came out of the warehouse. It costs a few million and you crashed into the car just like that. You better think carefully about how much youre going to pay me! Meeting this shameless person was enough! Xin Siyue didnt even glance at him, raising the car window up and calling the police over to handle this matter. When the man saw her attitude, he smashed her car window angrily and said, Whats that attitude? Xin Siyue sat in the car and purposefully looked in front, keeping her gaze there. That man was infuriated and called someone over, kicking her car after that. He slammed the car window and cursed her fiercely and sinisterly. Xin Siyue slid the car window down and coldly humphed. She said the truth, Mr. do we need to get the security tape to see whose car crashed into the other one? You know very well who violated the rules. Regarding compensation, if you keep on causing a ruckus, you will definitely not get a single penny out of this. Woman! Who do you think youre scaring?! Advertisement Im not scaring you. Im just saying the truth. If you actually dare to touch me, believe me that in less than half an hour, youll definitely become famous in Sheng Jin City. That man was stunned. Xin Siyue raised her head to look at him. Despite not saying anything, one could feel the imposing manner. There were many pedestrians forming a crowd and a young girl recognized Xin Siyue. She excitedly called out her name, Xin Siyue! Xin Siyue! That man stared at her clothes and appearance, thinking she was a celebrity. He said in disdain, So what if youre a celebrity? You think that you dont need to pay for crashing my car?! Mr. if you keep on making trouble without reason, Ill have my husband directly come over to handle this matter. Call him! You think Im scared of you?! Towards unreasonable people, Xin Siyue felt like she was just wasting time. She directly called Chen Sinan and asked, Are you busy? Chen Sinan was in a meeting when she called. After picking up the call, he rarely let everyone in the meeting take 10 minutes break. He responded, Im not busy. Whats the matter? Are you home? Xin Siyue felt helpless and said, I met a scammer on my way home. He was the one who stopped his car, but he ended up driving backwards and crashing into my car. Right now, he is trying to make me compensate him and he has a very vile attitude. Chen Sinan hurriedly asked, Where are you? Xin Siyue told him her address. Chen Sinan said, Im coming over immediately. Be careful and dont let him hurt you. Chapter 189 - Meeting this Shameless Person was Enough! (3) Chapter 189: Meeting this Shameless Person was Enough! (3) Besides you, who else can bully me? Xin Siyue didnt think that man would touch her, besides the beginning when he pulled on her collar. She thought about it and remained angry. Why should she let him go so easily? Police officers came before Chen Sinan did. They enthusiastically said to Xin Siyue, Our bureau chief said that Lady Chen got into an accident here and wanted us to come over. Xin Siyue thought about it and immediately understood that they were Chen Sinans people. Therefore, she pointed at her car and truthfully said, Crashed. That person took a look and said, Lady Chen, this I was waiting for the red light, but he suddenly drove backwards and crashed into my car. Oh, I understand. Lady Chen, then how much do you want the other party to pay? I just want him to apologize to me. Advertisement Stop dreaming! The man directly hollered and said, Dont try to take advantage of me just because you know some people! Who was the one in my position just moments ago? Xin Siyue chuckled and said, Didnt you say this car is worth a few million? I really dont see how this car is worth the value. Maybe its because theres nothing special about the driver. You! That man was about to slap her, but Chen Sinan came on time and stopped him. YouChen Sinan? The moment the man saw Chen Sinans gloomy and dark face, he stopped being arrogant and rampant. He softened his tone and asked, President Chen, why did you come here? Chen Sinan glanced at him for a bit before realizing who he was. It was Lai Familys son who just returned to the country a while ago. Chen Sinan humphed and said, I was wondering who was brazen enough to touch Chen Familys people within Sheng Jin City. As it turns out, its Lai Family. It seems like the warning he had given was ineffective. Young master Lai, this isnt abroad where you can be arrogant and do whatever you want. You crashed into my Ladys car, so how do you want to pay? Please give me a clear answer. Ill pay! Ill pay! President Chen, name me a price and Ill pay! Didnt you say your car is worth a few million? My Ladys car is worth a bit more than yours. How about you pay us a few million? Xin Siyue secretly giggled. Good job, Chen Sinan. Advertisement President Chen The man with surname Lai was in a difficult situation. Young master Lai can go back and think about it before telling me. If you cant make a decision, you can go back and ask President Lai how it feels to not be able to find a partner for his company. Once Chen Sinan was done speaking to him, he turned around and asked Xin Siyue, Are you hurt anywhere? Im fine. Lets go home. Its better if I have someone bring you home next time. Xin Siyue didnt want to make it inconvenient for him, so she said, Its just an accident today. Your husband, I, cant tolerate the shock of you being in an accident every day. Xin Siyue laughed and followed him, getting into his car. Regarding Xin Siyues car, Assistant Wang naturally helped drive it back. The colleagues from the police station gave young master Lai a ticket and advised, Its rare to see someone who doesnt know how to respect and be polite to women. Pray for luck. Young master Lai was infuriated and once he got in his car, he called his sister. You spend so much money every day, yet you still cant win over Chen Sinans heart! Fathers blind for spending so much money on you to arrange a blind date between you and Chen Sinan! Miss Lai who had been depressed over this matter for a while couldnt help but tear up after her wounds were ripped apart again. She had finally remained calm after hearing the news of Chen Sinan being married and this scolding made her retort, Look at you! If youre powerful enough, why dont you go and fight him?! Why do you guys always blame me? If Chen Sinan could easily be won over, why would all the young misses in Sheng Jin City fail? No matter how much you guys force me to, Ive given up! I wont be your pawn! Never! After yelling this, she immediately hung up. They all have issues! Chapter 190 - Why did you have to go and provoke so many beauties? (1) Chapter 190: Why did you have to go and provoke so many beauties? (1) By the way, what did you mean by what you said to that man earlier? Unlike the stifled feeling that was wrapped around Chen Sinans heart, Xin Siyue appeared to be unaffected by neither the man nor the disconcerting crash that had just occurred. However, upon noticing Chen Sinans silence and the lack of expression on his face, Xin Siyue asked, Are you angry? Chen Sinan looked at her. Are you not? I was, but not anymore. After you came and I watched him get beaten up, I realized that a person like him is not worth getting angry over, she confessed. His expression remained tense, so she added, To me, he is a nobody. In my world, he counts for even less than a random passerby. Who knows if Ill ever see him again? And even if I do, I wouldnt acknowledge him. Therefore, an irrelevant person like him is not worth getting angry over. Suddenly, Chen Sinan cracked a smile. I didnt know my wife was such a magnanimous person. Advertisement For a moment, she pondered over his words. Its not about how magnanimous I am. I just dont think we should let ourselves be affected by someone so insignificant. Think about it. He made you feel unhappy just now, which in turn made me worry. Its not worth it. Who is more important to you, him or me? After listening to what she said, Chen Sinan suddenly understood. While he was feeling angry at himself for not protecting her well, she was also taking great pains to placate his storming emotions. It was as though the one who had gotten implicated was not her, but someone else. It seemed like she would be calm even if the sky were falling, and as the thought crossed his mind, he was reminded of the past. Turning to her, he asked, When I first met you, I was very curious. The Xin Siyue then didnt seem to care about anything. Nothing could faze you. But were you really as indifferent as you seemed? Xin Siyue, on the other hand, couldnt remember a time when she was like that. Was I? she asked, then before he could respond, I guess I was just too good at pretending! I was actually afraid of many things back then, but most of all, I was afraid of death. Eventually, I realized that aside from death, everything else was insignificant and unworthy of my attention. Probably because her obsession was too deep, so nothing else mattered. Then was I also insignificant and unworthy of your attention? Chen Sinan asked, narrowing his eyes slightly. The clever Xin Siyue responded immediately as she thought, This is a trap! If I answer wrong, hell definitely make me suffer tonight! So she said with a smile, Haha, the past is the past. Lets not bring it up anymore. And with that, she quickly changed the subject. Advertisement What? About being unable to find a partner company or something She was keen. The Lai family offended you. More or less. And what is more or less supposed to mean? The fact that Miss Lai had successfully tricked him into entering her house was a matter of absolute humiliation. She had even managed to force a hug on him. He mustnt let his wife find out! Looking away, he replied lazily, The past is the past. Lets not bring it up anymore! This sly! She stared at him. Something is fishy. He pretended he didnt hear her. *** When the two of them got home, Xin Siyue remained suspicious of his evasive behavior. As she cooked dinner in the kitchen, she tried to recall the plot of the original story. Was there anyone who had the surname of Lai? After thinking about it for a while, she finally remembered. There was indeed a person like that in the original story: the young miss of the Lai family, Shi Shis cousin, and also a former marriage prospect of Chen Sinan. Heheh Chapter 191 - Why did you have to go and provoke so many beauties? (2) Chapter 191: Why did you have to go and provoke so many beauties? (2) When she finished cooking, she swept up the dishes and carried them into the dining room. As she laid the dishes down, she looked at Chen Sinan and harrumphed. Ive figured out how the Lai family offended you. Huh? Chen Sinan, who was just about to pick up his chopsticks, suddenly froze. He wondered why his wife was still on this topic. Chen Sinan, its because you were involved with their beautiful young miss, isnt it? And if I remember correctly, you and Miss Lai were even going to be marriage partners. Smiling, Chen Sinan went to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Wife, that was my mothers lousy idea, not me. Didnt I keep resisting until the end? Heh, but I doubt it was that simple. Something else must have happened between the two of you, something so bad that you had no choice but to attack them. Otherwise, why would you go as far as to making a move against their entire family? Am I right? Wife. Mhm, be good. Your wife is a little mad at you right now. Why did you have to go and provoke so many beauties? Advertisement Wife I am not in the mood, Chen Sinan! Youre sleeping in the guest room tonight! Hey, wife Eat your food. Chen Sinan: After dinner, Xin Siyue waved her hand and sent Chen Sinan to wash the dishes. Eager to please, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and got to work. As he wiped away the grease from a bowl, he thought to himself: I need to find a way to coax my wife later. If it doesnt work, I can just pick her up and solve it in bed. Were there any problems that couldnt be solved in bed? None! Confident that he had come up with the perfect solution, Chen Sinan happily finished washing the rest of the dishes. Xin Siyue, who was sitting in the living room eating fruit, glanced in the direction of the kitchen and smiled unkindly. When he came out of the kitchen, he saw his wife on the couch. Seemingly absorbed in a television show, it looked like she had no intention of talking to him. Wife, would you like to have some tea? I can brew it for you. Advertisement No. What about fruit then? I can go wash some. She gestured to the fruit plate on the glass table. There is still plenty in there. Wife The rest of what he wanted to say was abruptly interrupted by the ringing of his phone. Xin Siyue glanced over and saw that the caller was Zhuang Zhu. Chen Sinan picked up his phone and wondered while looking at her, What is this guy calling me for? She turned her gaze away and ignored him. The moment he picked up his phone and accepted the call, Chen Sinan found his ear bombarded by a jaring tumult of party music. It took him a few moments to figure out what Zhuang Zhu was saying: If youre a real brother, come out here and drink with me! Im with my wife. After getting married, Chen Sinan seldom went out to play around with his friends. Though he didnt go out much to begin with, one could still occasionally bump into him in a club or a bar. Now, it was nearly impossible to catch even a glimpse of his shadow! Zhuang Zhu was in no mood to tolerate the dog food. Damn! Whats so impressive about having a wife, huh? What do women count for anyway?! Chen Sinan frowned. Zhuang Zhu must be really drunk for him to speak like this. After thinking for a bit, he turned to Xin Siyue and told her, I think somethings happened to Zhuang Zhu. Ill go check on him. Okay, she agreed immediately. Seeing that her previous attitude had softened a bit, Chen Sinan smiled and leaned over to press a kiss against her cheek. Wait for me to come back. Stay safe. Okay. Chapter 192 - Why did you have to go and provoke so many beauties? (3) Chapter 192: Why did you have to go and provoke so many beauties? (3) Chen Sinan went to the bar Zhuang Zhu was at and had to search for a while before finding him in a corner upstairs. As soon as he sat down, Zhuang Zhu handed him a bottle. Have a drink! Then I wont be polite, Chen Sinan said, taking a small swig. He still had to coax his wife later. If he got drunk, he would really have to sleep in the guest room. Zhuang Zhu saw the smile on his friends face and instantly flared up again, Chen Sinan, isnt it just a marriage? Whats so great about that? Would it kill you to not look so happy every day? Just seeing your face makes me mad! Oh, did I touch a nerve? You sure did! Great. Advertisement Chen Sinan! Karma will come back and bite you in your ass, you evil bastard! I already have a wife who loves me. Among all the rich men in this city, I bet youre the only one who can still be so delusional after marriage! Zhuang Zhu sneered. Youre not married, so what do you know? By now, Chen Sinan had figured out why his friend was in such a bad mood. So which woman is it this time? A college student? A famous model? Or a little girl from another family? Zhuang Zhu snorted. You think Im a pedophile like that Mo Bei? If Im remembering correctly, the Mo family arranged a 20-year-old girl for him, didnt they? You havent seen her. They say she looks so innocent that she might as well be a little girl! Alright, alright. Are we going to talk about you or Mo Bei? Zhuang Zhu choked on his words. He took a swig of alcohol before continuing, When I was at your wedding, your wifes best friend caught my eye. That Zhong Qin girl. Oh Chen Sinan said knowingly. Advertisement What is that supposed to mean? He took a sip of alcohol and said bluntly, You should just give up already. Are you still a brother? As a brother, Im advising you to turn around. Chen Sinan! My wifes best friend is not someone you can catch up to. Dont waste your energy. Would a real brother look down on me like this?! Zhuang Zhu raged. Didnt reality itself prove that you cant catch up? Chen Sinan pointed out ruthlessly. Otherwise, would you still be here drinking yourself stupid? That instantly shut him up. Right! He had been interested in Zhong Qin since they met at the wedding, yet even after a month of chasing her, she remained unmoved. He couldnt resist forcing a kiss on her tonight, which resulted in him getting a slap across the face. Shed even hurled a series of insults at him, telling him to stay the hell away from her. On the drive back, he also spewed an entire list of curses! Zhong Qin, just you wait! Chen Sinan accompanied him for a few more drinks. Before leaving, he patted him on the shoulder and advised him again to quickly give up. Later, when he arrived home, Chen Sinan made a beeline for the bedroom. However, the door was locked. He frowned and knocked on the door. Wife, I have something to tell you. You can tell me tomorrow. Are you sure you want to wait until tomorrow to hear about whats going on between Zhuang Zhu and your best friend? he asked. Sure enough, not a second later, the door swung open. A flash of his triumphant smile was all she saw before he pinned her against the door, their lips clashing in a heated kiss. She reached out to smack him. Liar! Im not lying. Zhuang Zhu chased after your best friend, Zhong Qin, for an entire month and failed. When did this happen? After the wedding. Then Zhuang Zhu Mhm, hes just drinking right now. Dont worry about him, he said, kissing her again. While the two of them were rolling together in bed, Chen Sinan thought complacently to himself: I will never sleep in the guest room. Little Theater: Mrs. Chen: Why did you have to go and provoke so many beauties? Mr. Chen: Is it my fault that Im handsome? Mrs. Chen: Mhm, its your fault. Mr. Chen: Mhm, whatever my wife says is correct! Chapter 193 - Are the days before marriage even worth being compared to the days after?” (1) Chapter 193: Are the days before marriage even worth being compared to the days after? (1) While she was on her way to work the next day, Xin Siyue sent Zhong Qin a message, asking about the unexpected development between her and Zhuang Zhu. Zhong Qin was in the middle of rushing to work, so her response was a simple Ill explain later when Im free. Thus, the two arranged to meet for dinner in the evening. When Chen Sinan called her and said that he was going to pick her up after work, she told him to figure out dinner on her own because she had an appointment in the evening. A dinner appointment? He sounded unhappy. Yes, Im going with Zhong Qin. Immediately, Chen Sinan understood the reason for their dinner appointment. For a moment, he regretted being a busybody the night before. Hed shot himself in the shot. When will you be home? Itll depend. This was the worst type of answer. Chen Sinan replied: Then Ill pick you up at 8:30 after I finish working overtime tonight. How come I didnt know that you were working overtime today? she asked dubiously. How can I be home when my wife isnt? Do you want to force me to guard an empty house? he grumbled. This made Xin Siyue happy. Then how come Ive never heard you complaining about guarding an empty house before we got married? Are the days before marriage even worth being compared to the days after? Hmm, thats true, she agreed with a smile. After the call ended, Chen Sinan called for Assistant Wang. The latter rushed into the office only to learn that his boss wanted him to inform every department head that they had to work overtime tonight. Furthermore, their quarterly conference would also be held in advance. Assistant Wang silently gauged Chen Sinans expression. Though his face wasnt particularly happy, it didnt look like he was in a bad mood either. It didnt seem like he had fought with the lady boss. Nonetheless, Assistant Wang still double-checked his bosss expression before answering, Yes, President Chen. As he closed the office door, he silently lit a candy for each of the department heads. At this rate, he was certain they would become too busy to even eat dinner. *** When Xin Siyue saw Zhong Qin at their meeting place, Zhong Qin was absentmindedly stirring her coffee with a spoon. What happened to you? Zhong Qin immediately recognized her friends voice and turned around, her expression somewhat dark. Ha, lets not talk about that. I couldnt fall asleep until 3 oclock last night, then I was almost late to work in the morning. Ive been feeling out of sorts all day. Xin Siyue looked at her and saw that indeed, she looked exhausted. Because of Zhuang Zhu? she asked probingly. More or less, I guess. So what are your thoughts on him? Xin Siyue asked. What can I think? Its impossible, came the unhesitant response. Youre that certain? Were not compatible. Drawing upon her understanding of Zhuang Zhu, Xin Siyue responded, Though he is a bit muddle-headed, the main reason is because he hasnt met the right person for him. Who knows, maybe all of his bad habits will change once he finds them. Zhong Qins expression remained indifferent, so she added, Lust and infidelity are common flaws of men. Lifting an eyebrow, Zhong Qin smiled and asked, Ive never thought of myself as a particularly charming person. Besides, how come your Chen Sinan doesnt share this common flaw? At the mention of Chen Sinan, Xin Siyue couldnt help but smile and refute, Hes a different kind. Zhong Qin sighed. To be honest, even without you saying it, I know that men can change after theyve met the right person. But its impossible for Zhuang Zhu and I. You said its okay to just fall in love and get married, but thats not suitable for me. My parents are both humble public officials, and our family background is average. Zhuang Zhu is a rich second generation. The moment my parents learn about his family background, they will try to stop me from seeing him again. Last time I saw them, my cousin had gotten divorced within three months of marrying a rich man. They reminded me that its always better to marry within ones own social class. After listening to her friends thoughts, Xin Siyue fell silent. Indeed, love was a matter between two people, but marriage was a matter between two families. Then, Zhong Qin added one of her own concerns. Besides, Im not even interested in dating someone, let alone marrying them. Its fine if I can still retreat afterward, but if I really end up pouring my heart into a relationship that fails, I cant afford to start a whole new relationship. I dont have that luxury. But dont you think itll be too late to talk about love when you find a man who meets all of the right conditions? Moreover, finding one like that will be hard. Its whatever, Ill go with the tide. She never thought much about love anyway. Xin Siyue really couldnt continue trying to persuade her friend, so she just said, You should think over it again. Chapter 194 - Are the days before marriage even worth being compared to the days after?” (2) Chapter 194: Are the days before marriage even worth being compared to the days after? (2) Haha, theres no need to rethink it. Why should I waste my time on it? Zhuang Zhus interest in me is only temporary anyway. Hell forget about me once another woman catches his eye. I dont need to worry about it. Xin Siyue looked at her and remarked bluntly, But why do I feel like youre upset? Something flickered in Zhong Qins eyes before she rigidly changed the topic. Lets not talk about him anymore. Let me interview Mrs. Chen, who has been promoted to a married woman, instead. How is life after marriage? Pretty good, she responded with a laugh. Tut-tut, how envious. Dont envy me. Youll be the same sooner or later, and who knows? Maybe youll be even happier than me. Thats true. Zhong Qin smiled, and afterward, the two moved on to other topics. It was 10PM when they finished chatting, eating, and shopping. They walked out of the shopping mall with several bags in hand. When Zhong Qin asked her where shed parked her car, Xin Siyue responded, I encountered a little accident while driving home yesterday, so Chen Sinan drove me today. My car isnt here. Envious! Zhong Qin said. Then how about I drive you back today, Mrs. Chen? They lived in opposite directions, so if she took up Zhong Qins offer, it would be midnight before Zhong Qin herself got home. No, that would be too much trouble for you. Ill call Chen Sinan to pick me up. Youre done? As soon as her words fell, she heard a low voice coming from behind her. It is a naturally familiar voice. She turned around and said, Why are you here? Chen Sinan, who was only two steps away from her, bent down slightly to take the bags from her hands. Ive been waiting for you for a long time. Hed called her after his meeting, but she didnt answer. He assumed she didnt notice, so he called Zhuang Zhu and asked him where Zhong Qin was. When they were talking last night, he remembered Zhuang Zhu saying that he would go to Zhong Qins company entrance every day after work to see her. As expected, Zhuang Zhu immediately gave an address. When the two of them met up, they saw the girls strolling through the mall. Instead of disturbing them, they went upstairs and enjoyed a leisurely meal together. Of course, only Chen Sinan was completely at leisure. Zhuang Zhu was still recovering from his emotional injury. They only showed up when they saw that the girls were getting ready to leave. Zhong Qin was just about to tease the Chen couple when she suddenly noticed Zhuang Zhu standing behind Chen Sinan. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, and his eyes were shining as he looked at her. She thought it was a terrible feeling, so she hurriedly said to Xin Siyue, Siyue, since you have someone to take you home, Ill be leaving first. Alright. Xin Siyue understood. However, unfortunately for Zhong Qin, Zhuang Zhu immediately went after her. Xin Siyue couldnt help but call his name, Zhuang Zhu! The man looked back and shouted in a hurry, Sister-in-law, Ill invite you to dinner next time! Xin Siyue: Why are you inviting me to dinner for no reason? We should let them figure this out on their own. Lets not interfere anymore. She understood that, but Im just a little worried. If love was completely smooth-sailing, then you should be worried. Mhm, what Mr. Chen said makes sense. She smiled as she looked at him. Chen Sinan didnt say any more. *** In September, when school began again for students, Dean Zhao called Chen Sinan and invited him to give an inspirational speech to the new students. He immediately declined. As a result, Dean Zhao called Xin Siyue the next day, hoping she could help persuade Chen Sinan. Though Chen Sinan had graduated a few years ago, he was still an undefeated legend in the school. Xin Siyue suddenly remembered the matter of the design drawing. Dean, dont tell me if it was Mo Shiyuan who gave you this time? Dean Zhao brushed it off with a laugh and didnt respond. When Xin Siyue brought it up to Chen Sinan that night, she felt a little complicated. They sure know how to use their resources! Since they couldnt convince you directly, they called me instead. Is my face that easy to use? Chen Sinan held her in his arms and pressed a smile against her forehead. Is it? How about you try and see? he incited. Her happy eyes filled with triumph. Fortunately, were not in the ancient times. If you were a king in the ancient times, you would be a king who was misled by a beauty! Oh? So, beauty, are you going to seduce me? I can consider it. Xin Siyue laughed and turned her body, pressing herself on him. Then, just as he had done before, she leaned down and engaged their lips and tongues in a passionate dance Chapter 195 - Usually, I Indulge Her” (1) Chapter 195: Usually, I Indulge Her (1) At the end of September, Chen Sinan returned to the school as promised. Countless students swarmed the lecture hall. Chen Sinan was wearing a black suit. It had been carefully chosen by Xin Siyue as a way of apology. His outfit, paired with his noble and dignified temperament, was enough to win over all of the females in the lecture hall. Their screams filled the hall in droves, then he began his speech. It wasnt in his personality to encourage them to always work hard and put int heir best effort. Instead, he just lifted a few of his own experiences and warned them about the cruelty of society. If one does not become strong, then they will no choice but to let themselves be trampled on by others. There would be no use complaining. They would simply be reaping what they sowed. His whole speech could be summed up in one sentence by one of the girls in the audience: poisonous chicken soup. That girl asked, Senior Chen, this chicken soup is so poisonous. Can you not be so cruel? Give us a better recipe instead! He chuckled. Society will never consider your feelings because to it, you are a nobody. Chapter By WordExcerpt The girls face turned red. Really so poisonous! In an act of defiance, she asked him, Senior Chen, I heard that youre married? You speak so bluntly, how does your partner tolerate it? Usually, I indulge her. Wow! The students were in an uproar. This is a blatant display of love! Senior Chen, how did you can your wife get together? Can you share some tips on how to chase someone? Chen Sinan looked at the boy whod asked the question and was momentarily stupefied. He felt a little embarrassed but thought about it and good-naturedly responded, Two conditions. You have to be shameless enough, and you have to be patient enough. Wow! The boy continued, Then, Mr. Chen, did you chase after your wife first? Chen Sinan answered honestly, Yes. To be honest, she was the one who persuaded me to give a speech here today. She wanted me to come, so I came. My wife said that because we didnt spend much time together in college, she has always wished that one day, I would stand on the stage while she sat with the audience, laughing and listening to me talk. The students couldnt stand it. Not only was his business successful, but even his marriage was so sweet! It was really infuriating! But unfortunately, she is busy with work and couldnt come together. Now, I will end this here. Chapter By WordExcerpt The students were clearly reluctant to give up on such a good opportunity, but unfortunately, Assistant Wang had already escorted his boss out. The restless students were soon pacified by the teachers. Once Chen Sinan left, he was about to call Xin Siyue when he heard a clear female voice from behind him, Anan! He frowned and turned around. Sheng Wenyang, dressed in a white shirt and black dress pants, was walking towards him. Before he could speak, she tucked her hair behind her ear and said with a small smile, What a coincidence. I didnt expect you to come today. Mhm. Chen Sinan looked away from her and asked mildly, Do you need something? She paused before squeezing out another small smile, No. I have something to do, so Ill be leaving first. He had no intention of chatting with her. Sheng Wenyang took a step forward, then changed her mind. She stepped back again and silently watched his departing back before giving a light laugh and leaving in the opposite direction. When Assistant Wang saw her leave, he let out a relieved sigh. Beside him, Chen Sinan naturally noticed his exaggerated move. What do you mean by that sigh? he asked. The assistant immediately straightened his back and replied stiffly, Nothing, President Chen. Chen Sinan gave him a meaningful look as Assistant Wang resisted the urge to wipe his forehead. He was just afraid his boss might be influenced by others and want to commit infidelity! Fortunately, their interaction was cold. Naturally, Chen Sinan did not take his encounter with Sheng Wenyang to heart. However, little did he know that for the next few days after his visit, the college forums were filled with posts about him. They all talked about his talent and achievements and his valiant background. Of course, others were more interested in his private life. Several people dug into his love history, and some even managed to find pictures of Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue from their magnificent wedding. They lamented the mans success in life. Of course, there were also people who brought up Sheng Wenyang, saying that Xin Siyue stole Chen Sinan by force. They called her a homewrecker who took advantage of Sheng Wenyangs absence from going abroad. Everyone sighed. Naturally, the parties involved did not know that they had become a topic of gossip. Zhong Qins cousin, who happened to be a freshman in the same college, saw Chen Sinan that day, called her to gush about his looks and elegance. Zhong Qin responded with some perfunctory comments. Chapter 196 - Usually, I Indulge Her” (2) Chapter 196: Usually, I Indulge Her (2) Unexpectedly, two days later, she received another call from her cousin. She said, Cousin. That best friend of yours, did she interfere with Chen Sinan and Sheng Wenyangs relationships to become Mrs. Chen? When Zhong Qin heard this, her face immediately darkened. Where did you hear that? Thats nonsense, dont talk irresponsibly. Having been so suddenly and harshly reprimanded by her older cousin, the girl was momentarily stunned. Someone in the school forums said that, so I just Are you that free? Dont pay attention to that gossip and focus on studying! After she hung up the phone, Zhong Qin decided to call Xin Siyue and tell her about what had just happened. It was National Day, so Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan were visiting the old Chen manor. Its okay, its just a thing of the past. It doesnt matter anymore, she responded after hearing what Zhong Qin said. Chapter By WordExcerpt Mhm, I know. I just wanted to make sure you were aware. Dont worry, I know what to do. Right as the call ended, Chen Sinan came out of the shower. Noticing her somewhat stern expression, he asked, What happened? Nothing. She saw that his bathrobe was mostly open. Laughing, she wrapped her arms around his waist and said, Just now, my mother called to ask about a child. Mhm? She asked what our thoughts are on it. The two had been married for nearly half a year already, yet there was still no news of pregnancy. He thought about it for a while before responding, I havent enjoyed enough of our two-people world yet. Im not ready for a little devil to come and take you away from me. Is that the only reason? She looked up at his face with a smile. What else could it be? She stopped and carefully observed his expression before hesitantly voicing her thoughts, Are you still worried about what Shi Shi told me? Chapter By WordExcerpt Huh? She let go and stood up. As she looked at his face, she said solemnly, If more time passes and I am still unable to give you a child, Ill feel very bad. If youre not ready to have a little bun in our lives yet, we can wait a little later. However, I do wish we could have a child by the end of next year. The child would look like you. That would be so cute. Chen Sinan bent over and picked her up. He sighed a little and whispered in her year, Why do you want the child to look like me? I want them to look like you. Because in the end, if I am unable to make you stay, at least I will have a child who looks like you, he thought. I want to have a girl who looks like you. Xin Siyue laughed. But I want to have a boy. Then we can have a boy first, then try for a girl who looks like you. She nodded. Okay. He lowered his head and kissed her crown. She looked up and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down for a kiss. Provoked by her initiative, Chen Sinan pressed her against a dresser, and after two rounds of tossing, he laid her on the bed and continued with another difficult position. Xin Siyue couldnt keep up with him. She panted and begged him to let her rest, but it only excited him even more. Finally, only after she was thoroughly exhausted was he satisfied. After that, she lied in bed gasping. Chen Sinan wasnt done yet. He used a towel to clean her up before hugging her to him, his large hands gliding mischievously across her bare skin. She felt weak all over and harshly slapped away his hands. Then, she suddenly remembered that while they were tossing earlier, didnt she accidentally lose control and make too much noise? Shed forgotten that they were still in the old Chen manor. Earlier, did my voice What? Chen Sinan stared at her pale, flushed cheeks and couldnt help but kiss her again. Dont messing around! she panicked. How good is the soundproofing in your room? Not very good, he replied intentionally. Crap! Its going to be so awkward tomorrow. Chen Sinan disagreed, Dont they want grandchildren? They should be happy to hear it. I still The rims of her eyes began to redden, so he decided to stop messing with her. Im kidding. The soundproofing in my room is one of the best. Even if you cry your throat out, no one will hear you, so next time, you can be as loud as you want. Xin Siyue: Cant you be more serious? Chapter 197 - Still, I prefer to express my gratitude with actions rather than words” (1) Chapter 197: Still, I prefer to express my gratitude with actions rather than words (1) Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan stayed with the Xin family for two days. Recently, Bai Ning picked up an interest in plants and loved to spend time in the garden. Xin Siyue stood beside her, helping her trim and water the flowers every so often. When Bai Ning saw how well she was cooperating, she laughed and remarked, Mhm, not bad. Smiling back, Xin Siyue replied, Grandpa also enjoys this kind of pastime when hes bored. Whenever I go to the Chen manor, he would ask me to help him. After growing old, these sudden interests just keep coming to me. Im sure its because your mentality is good. She had always thought that people who liked to take care of plants were people with excellent mentality. However, Bai Ning looked at the flowers and sighed again. The October wind in Shengjin City carried with it a slight chilliness. When a breeze brushed against her face, Xin Siyue felt not only its refreshing coolness but also the implicit emotion from Bai Nings sigh. Mom, whats wrong? Chapter By WordExcerpt Bai Ning hesitated before asking, Is there still no news? Mom! Xin Siyue said helplessly. It hasnt even been a year since Chen Sinan and I got married! Cant you be more patient? I can wait, but can the Chen family? You and grandpa have been pretty good about it, youve both only asked twice. We dont want to pressure you. Then dont, mom. The matter of a child we should just let it happen naturally. Plus, Chen Sinan also said that he doesnt want to have a child so early on in our marriage. Youve discussed it with him already? After seeing Xin Siyue nodded in response, Bai Ning said, Thats good then. The corners of Xin Siyues lips curved upwards. Mom, you dont need to worry about me. Chen Sinan and I are very close. If you want to worry about someone, you should worry about my brother! Your brother hah, just thinking about him makes me mad! Chapter By WordExcerpt Oh? That piqued Xin Siyues interest. Mom, tell me about it! What is there to say? Hes turned down every girl Ive introduced him to, no matter what her personality or appearance is like! When I asked him what type of girl he wants, do you know how he responded? One that catches my eye, he said! There are so many girls for him to pick from, yet none of them caught his eye? It really infuriates me! Thats it? Xin Siyue smiled. Mom, hasnt Brother always been like that? Theres nothing to be mad about. How about I go talk to him tonight? What do you say? Maybe hes rejecting all those girls because he already has someone in his heart. Bai Ning had never considered that possibility. He told you that? No, its just my guess. If he already has someone in his heart, then thats fine. Im just afraid he she paused. Never mind, maybe Im thinking too much. Alright, make sure to thoroughly question him tonight! Yes, maam! For the rest of the afternoon, Xin Siyue pondered over how to complete the great task she had been assigned. Chen Sinan accompanied her in her room, staving off boredom by looking through her stuff. He opened a photo album and looked at a picture of her from middle school. How ugly! he teased. Xin Siyue was sitting on the bed as she brainstormed. When she heard him, she snatched the album from his hands and feigned anger. Dont look then! He didnt try to take it back. Instead, he lowered his head and whispered lowly, Shes not you anyway. Then, he turned his attention to a notebook. Xin Siyue put a hand against her chest and thought that her heart felt a little tight. Chen Sinan sat down in a chair, his long legs stretched out before him as he lazily flipped through the pages. The characters in the notebook were so ugly that he couldnt help saying, Fortunately, your penmanship isnt this ugly. You Xin Siyue was unwilling to give in. Indeed, her calligraphy could be called beautiful at best. His was bold yet exquisite, and imbued with his individual aura of pride. Yes, President Chen. This lowly one cannot be compared to you, so could you spare this lowly one of your attacks? she fawned. He gave her a deep look and she stared back, confused. I thought I could learn more about you if I looked through the things in this room, but I guess not. He stood up and approached her. Tell me about yourself? For a moment, she was stunned. Then, she asked, What do you want to know? This was the first time he was bringing up the subject so bluntly. In the beginning, when he found out that she wasnt the original Xin Siyue, he never asked about it directly. Even the members of the Xin family knew that she was a different person, but they had all silently accepted it and didnt question her origins. She didnt understand. Why are you asking this today? Were you not curious before? I was, he admitted. I had people investigate, but no results came out of it. Later, I thought that maybe the phenomenons of time and space crossing actually exist, however absurd they sound. Chapter 197 C Still, I prefer to exp Chapter 198 - Still, I prefer to express my gratitude with actions rather than words” (2) Chapter 198: Still, I prefer to express my gratitude with actions rather than words (2) Xin Siyue lifted the corners of her lips. I guess so. Well, I dont think theres much to say. I wasnt raised in a happy family. You could say I grew up watching and listening to my parents argue, and sometimes, my father would even hit my mother. She stayed with him for my sake, but in the end, she was unable to bear it. They divorced after I took my college entrance exam. As he listened, his expression changed a little. He sat down beside her and took her into his arms. She struggled to recall those familiar yet forgotten memories. The financial situation of my family wasnt the best. My father liked to eat, drink, and fool around outside. Sometimes, it would get so bad that not even the life and death of my mother and I mattered to him. Due to this, I genuinely cherished my opportunity to attend school. I studied hard, and when I got into college, I balanced several part-time jobs to make a living. As she said this, she laughed. If you met me in that world, I doubt you would have paid any attention to me. I had no background, no ability, and no money. You have so little confidence in yourself? No, I just understand your arrogance too well. Chen Sinan: Chapter By WordExcerpt He decided to change the topic. So when you were there, did you get into any relationships? She mulled over it before responding in a serious manner. I was actually chased by quite a few people. In my second year of high school, there was a handsome classmate who liked me for several years. He finally confessed to me after our college entrance exams, but I had just received the news of my parents divorce. Naturally, I wasnt in the mood to respond. He tried to contact me for several months afterwards, but I ignored him and he eventually stopped. Haha. In college, there were also a few seniors who liked me. However, I was too busy to think about dating. My mind was just s10stuffed with thoughts about money. Chen Sinan remarked, Fortunately, you were too busy. Otherwise, after comparing them to me, you would have realized how poor your vision was back then. Hey! Chen Sinan! He clasped her left hand and rubbed the ring on her finger. Dont worry, the bad things have passed. She nodded. Mhm, I know. Its just I still think about my mother a lot. I wonder how shes doing now? Her health isnt good, so she cant work on her own. How is she living right now? And what about her original self? Did she die? Was she cremated? Her mother must have been very sad. Chen Sinan didnt know how to comfort her, so he said, Dont worry. Im sure shes just as strong as you. Chapter By WordExcerpt Mhm, I think so too. During dinner, Xin Siyue saw Xin Qiancheng. Afterwards, when he went back to his study to make a call, she took advantage of the opportunity to follow him in. He spent nearly 20 minutes talking on the phone before hanging up. Upon seeing his sister reading a book while patiently waiting for him, he was easily able to guess the reason for her visit. Mom and dad sent you here to spy? Xin Sinan laughed. So, Brother. What do you think? He responded with one generous word: Fate. But if you dont even pay attention to the opposite sex, how will you know if youve met your fated person? Fate will find a way. If I dont take the initiative, then she will. So you like girls who take the initiative? Xin Qiancheng took a stack of papers from the desk and smacked her on the head with it. You should focus on your own happy life. Dont worry about my marriage matters! How can I not? Brother, could it be that you already have someone on your mind, but she doesnt like you so you didnt want to tell us? I think youve been together with Chen Sinan for too long. Youre so idle that the hole in your brain has grown bigger. Brother Shut up. Just let things play out on their own, and you should tell mom to stop worrying too. Then you should find a girlfriend to soothe her worries! If you keep talking, Ill call Chen Sinan to take you back. She shot him a contemptuous glare. Hmph, you deserve to be single! After Chen Sinan finished showering, he saw Xin Siyue return. She was clearly in a sulky mood. You went to look for trouble? he asked. I was sent by my mom. Mom is just worrying too much. I actually feel very sorry for Xin Qiancheng. Hes just like me in the past. Tut-tut, as if thats true. Isnt it? He couldnt understand why the older generation was so obsessed with forcing marriages on the younger generation. The Xin family was like that, the Chen family was like that, and the Mo family was too. Heh. So, President Chen, you should thank me for taking you in from the sea of miserable blind dates! Otherwise, you might really be like my brother right now! Mhm, I am very grateful, he agreed. Ah! Chen Sinan picked her up and threw her on the soft bed. He had her pinned under his body before she could even react. Still, I prefer to express my gratitude with actions rather than words. Hey mmhpf Chapter 199 - You heartless little thing!” (1) Chapter 199: You heartless little thing! (1) The days passed smoothly. Once the national holiday ended, Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan returned to their busy work lives. The company was starting a new project, so Chen Sinan was scheduled for a business trip in early November. He told Xin Siyue about the trip while they were lying together in bed. She was very sleepy by then and only asked a single question: When will you be back? Im not sure. Half a month at least, and one full month at most. Oh, she acknowledged faintly as her eyelashes quivered, and her eyelids closed shut. A moment later, she fell asleep. Chen Sinan, who was just about to ask if she wanted to go with him, stared at her sleeping face with a helpless yet indulging expression. He pulled her closer and scolded in a low voice, You heartless little thing! Then, he closed his eyes and joined her in slumber. *** When Xin Siyue woke up the next morning, she thought for a long moment before remembering, Did you say something to me last night? Chapter By WordExcerpt Chen Sinan looked at her and quirked an eyebrow. Mrs. Chen, your husband is going on a business trip. What do you think? When are you leaving? she asked after some contemplation. This afternoon. Oh. Thats it? Evidently, he had been expecting more. As he narrowed his eyes, a dangerous aura surrounded his body. Smiling, Xin Siyue walked over to him and sat down on his lap. She leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips. Mhm. Have a safe journey, and come back soon. Chen Sinan raised his head slightly. He reached for her waist and pulled her in, seizing her lips. He bit and sucked on them until his mood improved a little, and only then did he finally let her go. Instead of being mad, however, she was cheerfully smiling. Ever since they got married, they had not been apart from each other for such a long duration of time. Chen Sinan felt an inexplicable feeling of gloominess, but when the afternoon arrived, he had no choice but to board the plane. Nonetheless, he made sure to call her right before and after the flight. Mhm, good boy, was her laughing response. An indescribable expression appeared on Chen Sinans face, then he shook his head and smiled slightly. If their child ended up being a mischievous one, then it would be obvious which parent they took after. Assistant Wang, who was accompanying him and had been caught in a storm the entire day, silently rejoiced when he saw his bosss expression lighten up. As expected, the lady boss was always the best at calming down the boss. Chapter By WordExcerpt The long duration of Chen Sinans business trip allowed Xin Siyue to regain the freedom and carefreeness she had lost after marriage. She planned her time very thoroughly: visit the Chen family for a few days, accompany her own parents for a few days, then invite Zhong Qin out to have fun for the last few days. The two friends met up to have dinner after work. Then, they went to watch the latest detective movie starring Zhong Qins favorite male actor. He was pale with a small, handsome face; in other words, he was a pretty boy. When the movie ended, Zhong Qin was still gushing over the actors looks and acting skills. How come I couldnt see it? Xin Siyue asked ruthlessly. Zhong Qin refused to talk to her for three seconds. Xin Siyue didnt care; if you want to break off our relations, then do it! She turned around to search for a garbage can and happened to see Zhuang Zhu frowning in their direction from a short distance away. Quickly, her gaze skipped from Zhuang Zhu to the scantily dressed and heavily dolled-up woman standing beside him. Xin Siyues gaze darkened slightly. However, before she could express her disapproval, she received a provocative look from the woman. The woman deliberately moved closer to Zhuang Zhu, causing Xin Siyue to frown. When the man looked at her for help, she ignored him. Hmph! What are you harrumphing about? Zhong Qin asked in confusion. Nothing. Xin Siyue was just about to pull her friend away, but she was already looking in Zhuang Zhus direction. Xin Siyue tugged on her hand. Lets go. Mhm, Zhong Qin agreed with what seemed like a half self-mocking, and half disdainful smile. After leaving the movie theater, Xin Siyue looked up at the night sky. The vast sky was squeezed into four dark corners by the towering building above them. The stars and the bright moon were nowhere in sight. As Zhong Qins remained silent, Xin Siyue blurted, Why dont we go back and beat them up to help you vent? Zhuang Zhu, and that woman too. If anything happens, Ill get Chen Sinan to clean it up. Pfft, Zhong Qin laughed. You really seem like a tyrant now. Arent I doing it for my best friend? Sighing, Zhong Qin declined. Forget it! It has nothing to do with me. Xin Siyue didnt believe her. Really? Hmph, no taste. Xin Siyue couldnt tell if that was directed at the man, or the woman. After a moment, she said, You should just ignore scum like him. Chapter 200 - You heartless little thing!” (2) Chapter 200: You heartless little thing! (2) Approaching from two steps behind them was Zhuang Zhu, who suddenly halted as though he had been shot in the heart by an arrow. Sister-in-law Please dont make it worse, will you? Xin Siyue turned her head and gave him a lazy, Yeah? The woman standing beside him was surprised by his address. She looked at Xin Siyue and promptly changed her expression. Sister-in-law! What a coincidence. Hah, who are you calling your sister-in-law? Xin Siyue gave Zhuang Zhu a look. Dont go around telling people they can call me whatever they want, Zhuang Zhu. I dont like it when strangers do that. Then, without acknowledging the woman at all, she looked at Zhong Qin and said, Lets go? Of course. What is there to stay for? Zhong Qin took Xin Siyues arm and the two walked away, smiling. Chapter By WordExcerpt As Zhuang Zhu stared after Zhong Qins departing figure and prepared to chase after her, he was stopped by the woman beside him. The pungent smell of her perfume overwhelmed his senses. Babe, is that woman really your sister-in-law? Why were her words so tactless? Did you hear what she said to me earlier?! I Shut up! You get out of my sight! Babe, I Scram! Zhong Qin and Xin Siyue were still only a short distance away, so naturally, they heard him. The latter raised an eyebrow as she observed at her expressionless best friend. Love is a strategic war of pain, huh? Heh, pain? More like jealousy, Zhong Qin replied contemptuously. True. Using another woman to try to make you jealous? Only a man like Zhuang Zhu would use such a lousy trick. Zhong Qin gave an ambiguous reply, to which Xin Siyue responded with a meaningful look. Hehe, I can definitely feel a spark between them! Chapter By WordExcerpt As she laughed to herself, she couldnt wait to get home and gossip about the days events to Chen Sinan. When she neared their house, however, she spotted a black car parked near the gates. The cars window was down, revealing Zhuang Zhu with a deeply melancholic expression as he smoked a cigarette. She drove her car by him and deliberately stopped to ask, President Zhuang? Are you here to help us guard our gates for free? The moment he heard her voice, Zhuang Zhu withdrew his melancholic expression and replaced it with his usual cynical smile. Sister-in-law. If you need me to, I would be more than happy to do it. Just say the word. Xin Siyue didnt feel like beating around the bush with him. If you have something to say, just say it. Sister-in-law please show mercy and lend me some help. Help with what? she asked, though she knew exactly what he was talking about. You know what, sister-in-law. Im chasing Zhong Qin But I dont know. Didnt I just see you together with another woman? You seem to be pretty close with her, or am I wrong? I was wrong. But it wasnt my idea! Sister-in-law Im not going to help you. If you have the ability, chase her on your own! Then could you try not to make the situation worse than it already is? He didnt want to have to overcome her as an obstacle. Okay, I wont. Xin Siyue laughed. Your past reputation is terrible, and youre still pretty bad now. I dont trust you with Zhong Qin. Then, she added, Dont talk to me again until youve corrected your ways. Sister-in-law, thats not Alright, President Zhuang. My husband is away today, so I wont invite you in for tea. Please have a safe trip back, goodbye. Zhuang Zhu stared after her with a stomach of words he couldnt let out. As he started up his car engine, he couldnt help but curse, Why the hell is it so hard to chase a single woman? If things continued like this, he would have no choice but to listen to the advice of his notorious buddies: Force what shouldnt be forced, and just cook the rice! Hmph! Chen Sinan happened to call right after Xin Siyue finished cleaning up the house. When he asked her about her day, she excitedly recounted everything to him. I think theres definitely a spark between them, but the road ahead is rough. Zhuang Zhu sucks at chasing girls. If he continues like this, the road will only get longer and longer. Chen Sinan skimmed over the documents in his hand as he talked. Oh? Mrs. Chen, are you saying that youre good at chasing people then? Haha, I dont need to chase anyone. Dont I have you? He liked that. You should stop meddling too, he added good-naturedly. I didnt, she refuted. I just got into the heat of the moment and said a few extra words, thats all. Oh? Its late now, President Chen. You need to sleep early! I promise to wait patiently for your return. You missed me? Mhm, I missed you. After saying that, she realized how much she had been influenced by him. Chapter 201 - Let’s Have A Child (1) Chapter 201: Lets Have A Child (1) One day, long after Chen Sinan left for his business trip, Xin Siyue finally experienced the impact of his absence. When she came home from work that day, she suddenly felt that something was missing. After making dinner, she realized she had subconsciously ladled out an extra bowl of soup and had even cooked an extra serving of dishes. When she came out of her daze, she helplessly shook her head. Habits were really scary sometimes. Chen Sinan was swathed with work and couldnt call her until later in the night, at half past eleven in her time. She was just getting ready to retire for the day. As she listened to the exhaustion in his voice, she couldnt help but feel concerned. Hows work? Busy? Whenever he talked to her about work, he always gave the same response: Its okay. She decided against asking again and instead changed the topic. When are you coming back? Hmm he mused. Chapter By WordExcerpt She smiled as she told him, Tonight, I accidentally prepared an extra serving for dinner. After I finished eating everything on my own, I was stuffed. Chen Sinan turned around and drew the long curtains behind him. As he stared out at the sun rising behind the glass, he said softly said, If you miss me, I can go back immediately. Dont. Work is important. Ill wait for you at home. Mhm. Sleep early then. Goodnight. It was hard to sleep alone, but she had to bear with it. However, when Xin Siyue got home from work the next day, she was surprised to see the lights on inside their house. For a moment, she froze, her fingers still wrapped tightly around the doorknob. The thought that there might be a burglar inside came to her. With her heart pounding, she tried to stop the trembling of her hands in order to dig out her phone and call the police. Just as she pulled out her phone and unlocked it, however, she heard a voice from the staircase. Youre back. A deep, magnetic male voice Chapter By WordExcerpt She whipped her head in the direction of that voice and saw Chen Sinan standing right below the staircase. His hair had grown a little longer. Albeit messy, it gave him a sort of rogue, uninhibited appeal. Xin Siyues gaze stopped on his face, and her eyes flickered with a vague emotion. Then, without even changing her shoes first, she ran to him and threw herself into his embrace. How are you back already? Didnt a pitiful kitten call me last night and told me that she missed me very much? Like her, Chen Sinan had just gotten back not too long ago. The beige overcoat was still cold from the temperature outside, but instead of feeling chilled, Xin Siyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. That pitiful kitten definitely wasnt me. Oh? Are you sure? Mhm. She nodded, then looked up and smiled broadly. I only said that I missed you, not that I missed you very much. Chen Sinan met her bright gaze and couldnt help but lower his head to kiss her. Her thick, black eyelashes quivered a little, as did her body. Chen Sinans eyes darkened as he held her tighter and closer, as though trying to mesh their two bodies together. Xin Siyue closed her eyes and reciprocated his passionate kiss while instigating more with her hands. Once she finished unbuttoning his coat, she began to unbutton his shirt. A chuckle rumbled from his throat, which elicited her to give his lips a spiteful bite. Youre not allowed to laugh! Haha! He picked her up and said, So you can set a fire, but I cant resist? Mrs. Chen, Id like to protest this! Your protest is ineffective! We wont know until I try! As soon as his voice fell, she was pressed down on the sofa. Chapter 202 - Let’s Have A Child (2) Chapter 202: Lets Have A Child (2) As soon as his voice fell, she was pressed down on the sofa. When they were finished and she was so tired that she couldnt even lift a finger, she realized that the words Your protest is ineffective! were actually made especially for her! No matter how she hit him, bit him, grabbed him, or kissed him to get him to slow down, be more gentle, or to finish quicker, he ignored her every plead. Instead, he intentionally did the complete opposite, tossing her so much that she became breathless. Afterwards, he cleaned her up in the bathroom and made some dishes for dinner. However, she only ate a few bites before stopping. The refreshed look on Chen Sinans face was replaced by a slight frown. Youre not going to eat more? She tossed him a look. Im tired, so I cant stomach any more. Its all your fault! Chen Sinan, who had eaten his wife dry before feeding her food, felt at a loss. Helplessly, he handed her a bowl of soup and said, Then drink more soup. Chapter By WordExcerpt Seeing that he had put effort into making the food, she received the bowl and slowly began to drink. When they were lying in bed, Xin Siyue fought against her heavy eyelids to ask him, Did you come back early because you finished the work, or did you just find time to come back for a visit? I have to go back tomorrow morning, he responded. Oh. Okay, I see. She hugged him and didnt say anything else. Chen Sinan waited a few minutes, but she didnt speak again. Looking down, he realized that she had fallen asleep. He lowered his head and pressed a smile against her lips before saying, Goodnight, my wife. *** When Xin Siyue woke up the next morning, Chen Sinan was already gone. If it werent for the soreness she felt in her entire body, constantly reminding her of their madness on the sofa last night, she wouldve thought his brief visit was just a dream. Fortunately, the separation didnt last long. In the middle of December, his business trip finally ended. However, it was just in time for her New Years preparation and dress rehearsal. She had no choice but to work several days of overtime, and in the end, they couldnt even celebrate a day as significant as New Years Eve together. On New Years Eve, every celebrating family turned their TV on to watch the countdown and usher in the new year. Chapter By WordExcerpt When one host talked about the essential tradition of New Years wishes, he asked the three other hosts what their New Years wishes were. Xin Siyue replied with a smile, I hope that my loved ones, as well as the people who love me, will remain healthy and happy in the new year. I also hope that the wishes of him and I will come true. It was obvious who she was referring to when said him. The elders of the Chen family were watching the broadcast together with Chen Sinan. They all turned their heads to look at him. He gave a slight smile and responded while typing on his phone, Didnt you say you wanted to have a grandchild to hug? All of our wishes can come true together. The three elders immediately knew what he was talking about. The couple was ready to have a child? Grandpa Chen resisted the urge to smile and reined in his excitement. Thats more like it! Chen Sinan chuckled. Mhm, they should have a child. That way, she would have someone to accompany her when he was away on a business trip. And if they had a child, she wouldnt choose to do work over spending time with her family again. Having a child would be good. Thus, when she was sitting in his car after work, ready to go home, she found that his eyes were especially bright. Chapter 203 - Let’s Have A Child (3) Chapter 203: Lets Have A Child (3) Thus, when she was sitting in his car after work, ready to go home, she found that his eyes were especially bright. Was it because of the holiday? He stared at her for a few moments before suddenly saying, Happy New Year, Mrs. Chen! You too, Mr. Chen! she responded before leaning over to give him a kiss. His smile grew bigger. Since she had neglected him for so many days, she was worried about how she would make it up to him. Seeing his indifference, she silently chastised herself for overthinking. Once they reached the entrance of their house, Chen Sinan turned off the engine. Right after Xin Siyue removed her seatbelt, she heard him murmur to himself, I wish my wish would come true too. What? For a moment, she didnt realize that he was referring to what she had said on the show. Lets have a child. What? What a random topic. She didnt know how to respond. So, lets start with what we have to do first in order to have a child Hey! Chen Sinan, were inside a car! He had already pulled her into his arms. Dont worry, no one will come out at this one. They wont be able to see either. Hey! However, all of her protests were swallowed by his lips. Even worse was that he made her take the lead! After moving a few times on her own, she was too tired to move any more. In the end, he had to take back the lead. After pushing the seats down flat, he let loose the wanton beast inside him. When they got out of the car, Chen Sinan had to carry her in. She felt very ashamed. As for Chen Sinan, who was determined to make a child, it was as though a switch had been flipped. All he thought about in a day was pressing her under him and giving her a thorough loving. Therefore, one month later when her auntie came, Xin Siyue breathed a sigh of reliefCshe could finally sleep peacefully. On the other hand, Chen Sinan stared at her with some frustration. She didnt get pregnant! For the next two months, Chen Sinan exerted more and more effort until Xin Siyue felt overwhelmed. However, her auntie continued to report on time every month. When she finally realized his intentions, she began to actively cooperate with him. One day, she nestled in his arms and softly said, About the child We should just let fate run its course, you know? He didnt respond. The child will come. I believe it, she added. He took her hand and kissed it. Mhm. However, despite all that had been said, the months of loving had caused a certain addiction, and a few improper ideas to sprout in his mind. One Saturday, he was working overtime while she was resting. He called her while he was in the office and said he wanted to eat her homemade food. Xin Siyue cooked and even diligently delivered it to him. But she had underestimated his shamelessness. He wanted to eat her food? More like he wanted to eat her! Xin Siyue, who was soon pressed against his office desk, had to bite her lips in order to prevent the improper sounds threatening to spill from her lips. Thus, Chen Sinan decided to work harder and reach for a yard after taking an inch Eventually, she couldnt help but toss away his suit jacket and try to tear open his shirt. However, her strength wasnt enough. Chen Sinan chuckled and kindly unbuttoned his shirt for her. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and bit him on the shoulder. Ha how fierce, he breathed out before resuming his movements with equal fierceness. Xin Siyue gave a muffled harrumph and silently cursed him numerous times, Despicable wolf in sheeps clothing! A hooligan dressed like a gentleman! Chapter 204 - I Bet It’s Your Son Kicking Up Trouble!” (1) Chapter 204: I Bet Its Your Son Kicking Up Trouble! (1) Ever since she experienced first-hand how impressive Chen Sinans fighting capacity was, Xin Siyue became extra cautious around him. For example, she refused to deliver food to the company again. No matter how he coaxed her with sweet words, she warned herself to not be swayed. God knew how guilty Assistant Wangs meaningful stare had made her feel when she walked out of Chen Sinans office that day. Her face had turned completely red. However, though she could avoid it in the daytime, she was helpless at night. When late May came around, Xin Siyue found that her stamina could no longer keep up with his. Therefore, she could only hug his arm and plead in a childish spoiled manner, telling him that she was very busy with work during the day and wanted to rest at night. Chen Sinan considered it for a while before agreeing. However, there was one condition: Then in the future, you have to compensate me. When was the future? Xin Siyue didnt know. One should live in the present, so she hurriedly nodded. Okay, Ill always listen to you in the future. After that, she was able to get a few rare days of full rest. It wasnt until early June that she suddenly noticed Chen Sinans interest in those activities had declined. When they were both in the mood, he would kiss her or start to touch her, but he never took it any further than that. Even if the two of them were heavily panting and bothered, he would still somehow manage to control himself and drag his body into the bathroom for a cold shower. Eventually, his restraint caused her to feel concerned. One day after she finished conducting an interview and was waiting below a staircase for her colleagues, Xin Siyue happened to bump into Sheng Wenyang. So enemies really do meet on a narrow road. Sheng Wenyang was wearing a plain off-shoulder dress. Though her complexion was a little haggard, it was easy to see that she was in high spirits. Beside her stood a short-haired woman wearing black dress pants and a blue off-shoulder blouse. When Sheng Wenyang saw Xin Siyue from a distance, she stood dazed for a moment before walking over. What a coincidence, Miss Xin, she greeted her with a smile. Xin Siyue didnt want to get involved with Sheng Wenyang, so she only smiled faintly and didnt say much. Sheng Wenyang paid her attitude no heed and turned her head to say a few words in English to the woman beside her. Xin Siyue understood, Do you know who she is? Shes Chen Sinans wife, your nominal lady boss. The woman looked surprised, then she smiled at Xin Siyue and said in Chinese, So youre Miss Xin. Ive heard a lot about you from ANan. ANan? Suddenly, Xin Siyue smiled. Miss Sheng, and this unknown miss, Im sure youre aware that miss is used to refer to an unmarried woman. As the two of you know, I am married to Chen Sinan. Please call me Mrs. Chen from now on, otherwise my husband might get upset. The short-haired woman slightly raised an eyebrow while Sheng Wenyang maintained her smile. Xin Siyue. You may not know, but she is a genius designer scouted by Chen Sinan from abroad. When he left the country a few years ago, one of the reasons was to bring her back to China. Xin Siyues eyes flashed, and she didnt speak. Sheng Wenyang went on. Coincidentally, she and I graduated from the same college. We were even close friends. Wow, birds of a feather really do flock together. You both like Chen Sinan too, so as fellow sufferers, Im sure you can comfort each other well, Xin Siyue laughed. After saying that, she couldnt be bothered to see their reactions. Please make yourselves at home here, I wont be staying to accompany you, she tossed over her shoulder before leaving. As she strode away on her high heels, with her chin held high, she suddenly felt dizzy. Her abdomen was also uncomfortable. Chapter 205 - I Bet It’s Your Son Kicking Up Trouble!” (2) Chapter 205: I Bet Its Your Son Kicking Up Trouble! (2) As she strode away on her high heels, with her chin held high, she suddenly felt dizzy. Her abdomen was also uncomfortable. She bore with the pain until she got into her car, then she leaned back and closed her eyes for a while. When she felt a bit better, she opened her eyes. Forgetting what Sheng Wenyang had told her, Xin Siyue thought of a more important matter. Wasnt her auntie half a month late already? She reached for her forehead, speechless at herself. Had she been so busy lately that she even forgot about her period? Maybe the fatigue from her overtime during the New Year was finally catching up to her. Therefore, after she got home, she immediately went to sleep without even changing her clothes. When Chen Sinan returned, he noticed that the lights were off, but her shoes and bags were there. He paused for a few seconds before heading directly to the bedroom. Flicking on the light, he saw a little lump in the middle of their large bed. However, when he walked over and checked her forehead, there was no fever. Xin Siyue had woken up the moment he turned on the light. She stretched out her hand to shield her eyes but didnt say anything. Chen Sinan immediately noticed her unusual behavior. He drew her into his arms and asked, Did something happen during work today? She rubbed her face against his chest in a lazy manner. No. Work went smoothly, I just feel a little tired. His eyes brightened slightly as he said, Then you should have a good rest, Ill make dinner tonight. Well, obviously! If youre not going to cook it, then who will? She didnt know why, but she suddenly remembered what Sheng Wenyang had said. Was it really because of her outstanding talent that she was brought back personally by Chen Sinan? Chen Sinan? Hm? He looked down at her unhappy face. She paused. Never mind, I dont have much of an appetite today. You should make less food for dinner. He fell silent for a moment before answering, Then you should continue sleeping, Ill call you when Im done. Okay. Chen Sinan went downstairs and decided to make a call. Excuse me, Doctor Su. Could you answer a question for me? If my wifes menstrual period is half a month late and shes sleeping longer, feeling more fatigued, and having unusual mood swings, could she be pregnant? He listened patiently to the doctors long reply before saying, Then, do you have time tomorrow? I would like to bring my wife to the hospital for a checkup. Yes, okay. Ill see you tomorrow. When he hung up the phone, he couldnt help the smile that took over his face. He had noticed the delay of her menstrual period half a month ago and began to restrain himself then. She was sleeping much more than usual recently, even when she had no reason to be. He didnt want to put pressure on her, so he didnt remind her about her period. However, her behavior today confirmed his speculation even further their child had finally arrived. Hmm, he had to start doing research on how to take care of a pregnant woman. After making a simple dinner, Chen Sinan went upstairs and found Xin Siyue sitting on their bed, holding her lower abdomen with a pained expression on her face. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Seeing this, he hurried to her side. Whats wrong? My stomach hurts. Its coming in bursts, but sometimes it doesnt feel too bad. I think my auntie is coming soon. Chen Sinan didnt think so. He quickly grabbed a thin coat and put it on her before picking her up. Its summer! she protested. Who knew how many people would laugh at them if she went out with a coat on? Chapter 206 - I Bet It’s Your Son Kicking Up Trouble!” (3) Chapter 206: I Bet Its Your Son Kicking Up Trouble! (3) Its summer! she protested. Who knew how many people would laugh at them if she went out with a coat on? He didnt care, but his expression was slightly stern. Im taking you to the hospital. Its not that serious, Ill be fine after a while. Chen Sinan stopped walking, looked at her, and said solemnly, No, were going. I cant let anything happen to you and our child. Child? Now that he mentioned it, she finally realized: she was pregnant? After carefully counting the days since her last menstrual period and taking into consideration the subtle changes that happened to her body recently, it all made sense. She just couldnt believe that she was finally pregnant. The news came too suddenly. She was in a daze the entire drive to the hospital. Meanwhile, for the first time in his life, Chen Sinan was nervous about driving. He hated that he couldnt just rush to the hospital already, but he was worried that doing so would bring her more discomfort. When they finally arrived, he asked her, How are you feeling now? She shook her head. Chen Sinans gaze sunk, then he reached out and carried her out of the car. Inside the hospital, the doctor was already expecting them. It felt like time had stopped as they waited for the pregnancy results. Seeing his wife turn pale, Chen Sinan drew her into his arms again and comforted her. Itll be okay. She nodded. When the results came out, Dr. Su called them in with a smile. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen is already six months along, but since this is your first child, you should be extra careful. Mr. Chen, you need to pay attention to her mood. Mrs. Chen, the abdominal pain you felt today was most likely caused by an excessive emotional stimulation. You should be more careful next time and try not to be affected too much by your emotions, lest they harm the baby. Xin Siyue was stunned and subconsciously looked at Chen Sinan. He held her hand and reassured her as he asked the doctor about other precautions. From start to finish, he seemed perfectly calm, making Xin Siyue think that he was unhappy about the pregnancy. On their way home, he drove slowly and steadily. Xin Siyue stroked her belly and thought that it was a very delicate feeling. A new life was inside? Chen Sinan turned to her, his expression still mild. Xin Siyue met his gaze and asked, Youre not happy? What happened to you today? He responded with another question. She furrowed her brows and thought for a moment before saying, Sheng Wenyang said you went abroad and personally brought a woman back to the company. Who? She really wanted to get a bag and hit him with it. How am I supposed to know who she is?! Dont listen to Sheng Wenyangs nonsense. When did I bring a woman back with me to the company? Xin Siyue huffed as she reminded him, A short-haired woman with big eyes and white skin! Shes in the planning department! He had to think for a while before remembering. Thats the designer Mao Shiyuan found. We happened to be on the same flight, he admitted. I dont even know her name. So youre saying you dont know what sort of intentions she has towards you either? Many people have intentions towards me, he said helplessly, reaching out to pinch her cheek. Mrs. Chen, how come Ive never seen you get so jealous until now? She knew she was being unreasonable, but she couldnt help sulking. Quickly, she came up with the reason: I bet its your son kicking up trouble! He lifted an eyebrow and lit a candle for his unborn daughter. My daughter is so pitiful. Didnt I say that its a son? Yes, yes. Whether its a son or a daughter, it doesnt matter. Chapter 207 - I Love You (1) Chapter 207: I Love You (1) Chen Sinan could hardly wait to share the good news of Xin Siyues pregnancy with the Chen And Xin family elders. When both families heard the news, they were naturally overjoyed. Old Grandpa Chen even mentioned for them to move back to the Chen family so that the two experienced ones, Weng Yinlin and Sister-in-law Song, could help take care of the baby. At the very least, it would be much more reliable than having the two of them staying outside. Chen Sinan thought about it and agreed. After returning home, he brought some of the necessities and left for the old family home. Xin Siyue didnt mind either. It was a good thing to have someone more experienced give you advice. When Weng Yinlin saw her, she took her hand with a smile and shared her own bitter experiences while carrying Chen Sinan. Xin Siyue soaked up this information with gusto whereas Chen Sinan felt helpless at the side. Why did she make it sound so much like he was tormenting her? When they saw how immersed the two of them were in their conversation, he ignored them and went up to the study to show off to his grandfather. Xin Siyue finally had some quiet time when night came. When he saw Chen Sinan climbing into bed, she was just about to talk to him about their plans when she heard him say, For workYou should take it easy. The one thing she could never let go of was her work. Even though she did have to pay extra attention for the sake of her child just for the first few months, she still argued, Cant you let me continue? Or maybe I can take a vacation and go back after three months. Chen Sinan reminded her, You want to go on TV with a baby bump? From what he could remember, he never saw a show hosted by someone while carrying a baby. Xin Siyue couldnt help but feel defeated. Im preparing for a live performance at the Spring Festival Gala. Weve already progressed halfway and this is a very important program. The director already approved it. Even if the show was a success, youll be about eight or nine months at that time. Are you really sure youll be able to host it then? Xin Siyue went silent. Fine, its impossible. She gave in. Then, theres no way around it then. I can only have my colleagues take over. Xin Siyue embraced him and cradled in his arms. A little unhappy, she said, Im making a big sacrifice for your precious little child. Chen Sinan stroked her hair. Even though he knew how she felt, he still asked deliberately, So, which is more important? Your work or the baby? Xin Siyues eyes narrowed with amusement. Well, naturally Itll have to be your baby! Chen Sinan looked at her cheerful eyes with amusement and couldnt help but hold her face and give her a deep kiss. After resting at home for a few days, Xin Siyue realized that she had a lot more time now on the weekdays. After waking up every morning, she would go for a walk with Grandpa Chen. Then, after breakfast, she would water the flowers with him and trim the plants before going off to read a book or playing the piano. In the afternoon, she would either take a nap or play some chess with Grandpa Chen. Sometimes, she would also go shopping with Weng Yinlin. However, when it came to shopping, Chen Sinan would protect her very carefully by her side, afraid that she may fall or bump into anyone. After Weng Yinlin went shopping with her a few times and being driven by Chen Sinan for all of those times, she couldnt help but laugh and say to Xin Siyue, Being the daughter-in-law carries more weight after all. I remember how I couldnt even get him to agree to come out with me to buy a gift in the past. Xin Siyue looked at Chen Sinan and smiled, saying, Its not me who carries the weight, mom. I think its your grandchild. Weng Yinlin turned to look at Chen Sinan and when she saw that he wouldnt even spare a glance at them, she laughed. Chapter 208 - I Love You (2) Chapter 208: I Love You (2) The rest of Xin Siyues days at home could be described as very free and comfortable experience. It was only natural that she would get a little impatient after sitting around for so many days. One evening, she looked through Weibo and saw several popular videos related to dancing. She was really immersed in it, as she was watching, she didnt forget to complain to Chen Sinan. I cant even dance right now. Thinking about it, the days before getting pregnant were nicer after all. Chen Sinan who was currently flipping through his book raised his eyes to look at her and asked her back, Why? Dont you feel happy right now? Haha, Im just kidding. Life is good. Besides having nothing to do, everything else is better than I expected. If you feel bored, why dont I take you back to the Xin family home for a few days? Xin Siyue was overjoyed. Okay! Chen Sinan looked at her and smiled before shaking his head helplessly. Im really being nicer and nicer to you. Would you treat me badly though? Chen Sinan put down his book and came closer for a kiss. Hm, I wouldnt dare. Xin Siyue smiled warmly. There truly wasnt a better time than now. After staying in the Xin family home for a few days, Xin Siyue never expected that Chen Sinan would rush straight over there after work every day. Without a single word of complaint, he stayed with her in the Xin family home for a few days. One afternoon, when Bai Ning was making homemade dumplings with Xin Siyue, she expressed with satisfaction, That Sinan kid is a fine man. Just look at you, you havent been pregnant for long and your bump hasnt even shown up, but he would look at you as if hed rather just pick you up anytime you walked up or down the stairs. Haha. Xin Siyue felt too embarrassed to tell her that when she was at the Chen family home and when the others werent around, he did, in fact, carry her up the stairs several times. I know hes good to me, mom. A man like that is hard to find. When the baby is born, youll have to put even more effort into living a good life together. Dont worry mom, well be fine. Alright, Ill let my mind to rest. After Xin Qiancheng found out that she was pregnant, he prepared many gifts for the nephew he hadnt met yet and even began preparing a baby room at the Xin family home. When Xin Siyue saw him directing the movers who were carrying the crib, she teased, Are you preparing for sister-in-law in advance, brother? Xin Qiancheng glared at her and refused to answer. Alright, I wont mention it anymore, okay? Xin Qiancheng said, Its best to live a virtuous life, especially when it comes to you. Chen Sinan is already questionable, whats going to happen to my nephew if youre like this as well? Xin Siyue was speechless. Subconsciously, she argued back for Chen Sinan, What part about him is questionable? Xin Qiancheng waved his hand to shoo her away. The movers were bringing things in and out of the house and she wasnt even worried that theyd bump into her accidentally. So, he shooed her off and said, Go back to your room to rest, otherwise go downstairs to the living room. What is a pregnant woman like you blocking the way for! Ever since finding out she was pregnant, Xin Siyue really found herself with less rights to speak. Dont talk badly about him, brother. When Xin Qiancheng saw her sticking out her elbow, he snorted, Hes bad enough without me having to say anything. You dont understand how things are like in the business world, so stop asking. Go away. Xin Siyue felt a little sad. Was she really so unwelcome? Wasnt she even allowed to stick around to see the future room of her child? In the end, she couldnt do anything other than return to her room obediently. After returning back to her room, Xin Siyue had nothing to do so she could only send out some messages to pester Chen Sinan. Chapter 209 - I Love You (3) Chapter 209: I Love You (3) When his subordinates saw their boss suddenly getting the rare message during their meeting, they were all stunned. Xin Siyue returned back to the old Chen family residence after staying with the Xins for some time. The plan to go out for a walk every morning was back on the agenda again. Only, it wasnt just Grandpa Chen with her on the walk this time, there was Chen Sinan too. Moreover, Chen Sinan who had come over to jog with them was only doing it by name as he would barely run one lap before slowing down to walk slowly next to her. Naturally, Xin Siyue was happy about this. Through their walk, she kept holding his hands, swinging them back and forth while chatting idly with him. Chen Sinan didnt mind it either and would go along with her each time. However, pitiful Grandpa Chen could only walk silently by himself as he watched the couple. Ah, how he had forgotten his grandpa as soon as hes married. At about four months into the pregnancy, Xin Siyue began feeling the effects of morning sickness. Even though it wasnt bad enough that she would vomit whatever she ate, she would still throw up quite a few times each day. Chen Sinan saw it happen a few times and couldnt help but worry. He called a doctor to ask but found out that this was normal, his face darkened as he felt helpless. The only way Aunt Song could help out was by working hard on preparing her dishes so that they were both nutritious and appetizing. Even though Xin Siyue ate quite a lot, she vomited quite a lot as well. In just half a month, the baby fat she took much effort to gain was all lost again. When Chen Sinan saw how much she suffered, he expressed his feelings to her one night when they were holding each other in bed, saying, After this baby is born, lets not have any more. Xin Siyue was quite drowsy at this time. When she heard her words, she sobered up instantly and opened her eyes to ask, Why? Chen Sinans face was dark. Lets just not. Xin Siyue looked at him and asked, But didnt we already agree? One boy and one girl, theyll both have matching names. I dont want it to burden you, Chen Sinan spoke with pity. When I see you throw up like that, itbreaks my heart. Ill be fine. Itll be over after a while. Is it really fine? Xin Siyue comforted him in turn, This is just how its like to have a baby. Everything will be better once its over. Chen Sinan held her tight and didnt speak, however that furrow in his brows never smoothed out. At about seven months, Xin Siyues morning sickness was over, and her face had also regained its luster. Only, her stomach now looked like an inflated balloon that grew bigger each day. When Zhong Qin and Gu Tong found time to visit her, they felt extremely nervous to see her struggling to walk up and down the stairs with her big belly that was supported by her slender legs. On the other hand, Xin Siyue felt free and easy. When the baby was about eight or nine months in, Xin Siyue felt it was harder and harder to fall asleep. Sometimes her feet would get cramped and she could only bear the pain with gritted teeth. But Chen Sinan would be able to wake up immediately each time to help her massage her legs without her needing to ever ask. Through the dim lights of the bedside table, Xin Siyue watched his profile as he worked and felt her heart well up with emotions. Chen Sinan Hm? Do you regret meeting me? Huh? Xin Siyue was staring at him, seemingly waiting for his answer seriously. Chen Sinan laughed. I guess its true when they say that a woman tends to overthink things when shes pregnant. So? Do you regret it? She seemed insistent. Chen Sinan stared straight at her with his deep eyes and he came close. Dropping a light peck on his lips, he spoke softly, I love you. Chapter 210 - You Should Name the Baby (1) Chapter 210: You Should Name the Baby (1) In a few days, the child will be born. Xin Siyue was wearing a grey fringed shawl as she watched the droplets of rainwater flow constantly down the glass window. Drip after drip, the droplets slithered down quickly. Meanwhile, the sky was still dark. This rain had already been going on for more than a week. When Chen Sinan came in with a glass of water, he was greeted with the scene of her daydreaming by the glass window. He raised his head and followed her gaze. The heavy rain had been pouring for so many days, but it didnt seem to show any signs of stopping. The clouds in the sky were thick and dark. If this went on, then some places would inevitably flood. Chen Sinan saw her frowning from afar and knew that she was worrying over things. So, he walked over and handed her the glass, saying, Arent you tired standing up for so long? Why dont you go lay down? Xin Siyue accepted the cup of water and took a sip. The temperature of the water was just right. She raised her head and looked at him then leaned into his arms, saying, I dont know why, but I cant help feeling uneasy. Youre just overthinking things, itll be fine. Xin Siyue smiled and pretended to relax. I think its probably just the rain. Its been so many days but it still wont stop. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. Itll be over in a few days. You should go tosleep, Ill wake you up in the evening. Didnt you sleep for just a few hours last night? Xin Siyue pondered over it and agreed. Alright. Will you join me? Sure. Chen Sinan laid down with her for some time, only after seeing her fall asleep did he get back up again. Beside Assistant Wangs number, he had someone elses number set to mute whenever they called. Chen Sinans eyes trailed down for a moment, and he returned the call. Chen Sinan, trying to get a hold of you is tough work! Chen Sinan believed that he wouldnt be calling him if there wasnt anything. Without beating around the bush, he asked straightforwardly, What is it? Speak. Its that Shi Shi you personally brought in yourself. Shes kinda kooky and wont stop talking about wanting to see your wife. Shi Shi? Quite naturally, Chen Sinan recalled a few things. Seeing that he wasnt going to answer, the man went on, Im just mentioning it. Whether you see her or not is your choice. I dont even know what shes been up to these days, but she keeps saying that everything is going to end. Do you believe her, Chen Sinan? Chen Sinan raised his lips into a disdainful arc. I dont. Even if he never believed it, Chen Sinan still went to prison the next day. When the dishevelled Shi Shi saw Chen Sinan, her eyes lit up. With eyes wide, she said, pleased, I knew it was you! Chen Sinan looked at her with a blank expression and did not plan to speak. Shi Shi began laughing even more. Chen Sinan, youre the one I actually wanted to see, not that bitch, Xin Siyue. Ive had to see that abominable face for more than a decade, and Ive been praying that shell die with a broken corpse since ages ago. What did she do wrong for you to hate her so much? When Shi Shi saw that he was finally willing to answer her, she felt even happier. I hate her! Of course, I would! Even if shes my half-sister, why is she the only one that appears in my dads eyes? No matter how well I do, how hard I work, he would never even glance at me! Xin Siyue will always be the only daughter in his heart. Even if she was never willing to speak with and accept him, he still treats her so well! Xin SiyueWhat did she do to deserve that?! Chapter 211 - : You Should Name the Baby (2) Chapter 211: You Should Name the Baby (2) Xin SiyueWhat did she do to deserve that?! If not for her and her mother, my mother wouldnt have thought of committing suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills! Chen Sinan, I shouldve been able to enjoy the love of my parents and have a happy family, but she ruined all of that. Chen Sinan sneered contemptuously. Whats so funny, Chen Sinan?! Youre only making selfish excuses for your own misdeeds. You couldnt find a way to vent your pitiful life so you pushed all your anger towards her because you thought she was an easy target. You say she took away everything from you, but shouldnt everything you mentioned have been hers in the first place? Chen Sinan reminded her, You and your mother are the ones who destroyed a happy family. I think hell would be a much more suitable place for someone like you. After saying that, he stood up. After having her wound pried open, she howled, No! No! My mother and my father are the ones who were truly in love! Xin Siyues mother is the one who broke them apart! Chen Sinan didnt feel like discussing this ridiculous issue with her. Whether what she said was true or false, she herself knew. When Shi Shi saw him turning around to leave, she quickly yelled, Chen Sinan! Xin Siyue wont be alive for long! As long as your children are alive, shell never be able to live long. Chen Sinan, if you kill your child, then Xin Siyue will be able to survive! With a snort, Chen Sinan left without even turning back to look at her. Who on earth would believe nonsense like that? Only, after he returned home, he could clearly sense that Xin Siyue was getting more and more uneasy. Occasionally, whenever she took any naps or slept, she would be woken up halfway from a nightmare. After waking up, she would gasp heavily in a daze. Chen Sinan would find her with the same sweaty and tense appearance every time. Grabbing a tissue, he helped wipe the sweat off her face and spoke in a gentle voice, Nightmares again? Xin Siyue nodded. I dreamt about the past. She seems to be reliving all those experiences in the past in her dreams all over again. All the disappointment and heartbreak was so real that she could hardly differentiate them from reality. Chen Sinan Dont worry, its just a dream. If Im not by your side anymore one day, then you and our child Dont talk nonsense! Xin Siyue put on a smile and changed the topic. We havent named the baby yet! For a boy and a girl, well give both of them names. What do you think? But in fact, the elders have already long begun thinking up names for them early on, but they couldnt find anything that satisfied them. Chen Sinan held her softly and nodded. Alright. Well give a name for both the boy and the girl. If the first one is a boy, well keep the other name for next time. Yeah. Thatll be nice. You should name the baby. Alright. After agreeing, Xin Siyue slowly closed her eyes again and nestled into his arms. Perhaps those dreams were telling her that its time to go back But in the end, Chen Sinan still managed to comfort her. Since the heavy rain went on for two entire weeks, the news reported that floods raged through many places and houses were collapsing because of it. It was a huge disaster. Every time she saw the news, Xin Siyue would feel more and more uneasy. The moment she first felt her labor pains was during an afternoon of heavy rain. Around 3 oclock that day, she laid down and rested for less than a few minutes before something felt wrong. At first it was only a faint throb of pain, but the throbbing came more frequently and the pain intensified. Chapter 212 - You Should Name the Baby (3) Chapter 212: You Should Name the Baby (3) At first it was only a faint throb of pain, but the throbbing came more frequently and the pain intensified. Sinan As soon as Chen Sinan who had been staying at home with her during her near-labor days heard that something was off, he quickly came over. Honey Xin Siyue held her stomach and said through gritted teeth, I thinkits about to come out When he heard that, Chen Sinans face changed instantly. He carried her up and quickly called Weng Yinlin to rush to the hospital with him. It was raining too heavily, so Chen Sinan thought he would tell Old Grandpa Chen to just wait at home for the good news, however he would have never expected that Chen An, and the two elders of the Xin family would rush over as well as soon as they arrived at the hospital. How is it? Whats her condition? Old Grandpa Chen quickly asked While he was rushing there, Chen Sinan felt like his heart was stuck at his throat. Never in his lifetime had he ever experienced such panic. He was worried that an accident would happen and that he wouldnt be able to protect the single most important person in his life. Chen Sinant took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down. Everything would be fine, he told himself, both of them will be perfectly fine. When Weng Yinglin heard Old Grandpa Chens question, she quickly responded, The doctor says shes in labor and the baby is in the right position. Everything will be fine. Yeah. Thats a very blessed child, everything will definitely be fine, Chen An chimed in. Only those at the scene knew how long the wait was and how grinding it felt to wait. Even until night fell, the rain still didnt stop. Chen Sinan stood at the door to the delivery room and looked at the closed door that was silent. Only, everyone else there could clearly tell that his expression grew worse and worse with each passing minute. Bai Ning knew that he was worried and though she herself was extremely worried, she still tried to comfort him. Thats how its like for a woman to give birth. This is Siyues first birth, so its normal for it to take longer. Everything will be fine. I know, mom, Chen Sinan answered haggardly but his eyes never left the door. God knows how much time had passed but the tightly shut doors were finally open. The doctor walked out and smiled. Congratulations! Its a fat little boy. Doctor! How is my wife? Chen Sinan asked hurriedly. Shes fine. She just finished giving birth and only managed to take one look before passing out. Without speaking another word, Chen Sinan rushed into the room. The dense smell of blood came gushing into his nose and he could hear the sound of a child crying loudly. Chen Sinan froze for a moment. Weng Yinlin and Bai Ning followed him in. As soon as they saw the little baby in the nurses hands, they all observed him with pleased smiles, saying, They look so alike. Chen Sinan had only taken a quick glance at the baby before rushing over to the bed. Xin Siyues face was completely ghastly pale as she laid on the bed while sweat drenched her hair. Her hands were still tightly clenched around the bedsheets and her brows were furrowed but she was deep asleep. Chen Sinan felt his heart ache as he reached out to open up her clenched hands. He lowered his hand to land a soft kiss at her palm. It mustve been hard on you, honey. However Chen Sinan would have no idea that Xin Siyue would end up sleeping for a long time without waking up. Miraculously, the distracting and disastrous rain gradually stopped when dawn came. Light poured down from the sky, glowing dazzlingly through the dense clouds. Chapter 213 - What About Chen Sinan? What About the Baby? (1) Chapter 213: What About Chen Sinan? What About the Baby? (1) Honey! Honey! Wake up! Siyue, SiyueWake up Please, wake up! Honey PleaseSiyue! What are those overlapping voices? Who do they belong to? Chen Sinan? Besides his voice, she seemed to be able to hear someone else she knew Doctor, please take a look. Is my daughter waking up soon? Doctor, she can wake up, right? I just saw her eyelashes and finger moveDoctor That voiceMom? Xin Siyue suddenly remembered. Its her mother! Its really her! But why was she here? She opened her eyes, only to be greeted by the feeling of her sinking into darkness. This place was completely devoid of light. She wanted to get out of the darkness, but for some reason, she couldnt walk forward no matter what. It was dark everywhere, where should she go? The patients situation is really very rare. The unfamiliar voice of another man could be heard. Following that, a beam of light suddenly flashed into the darkness. Xin Siyue raised her hand up abruptly to block the dazzling ray of light but found her body falling backwards. When she regained her awareness, she happened to find that the source of the beam of light from earlier was the doctor dressed in his white coat. He was looking down and checking her eyes. Seems like shes woken up. This is truly a miracle. Its surprising that she can wake up even after being in a coma for a month. Its a cause for celebration. The doctor breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing that, Xin Siyue heard a familiar voice by her ear speaking with excitement. Thank you doctor! Thank you! Really, thank you so much! Mom Only when she tried to speak did Xin Siyue realize that her voice was incredibly hoarse, and also very weak. Mother Xin wiped her tears with excitement. Its good that youve woken up! Thats good! Thank goodness, youre awake! Mom Yueyue, dont talk, you just woke up. Mom will go and buy you some porridge, so you should go take a good rest. Then, without waiting for a response from Xin Siyue, she left in glee. Xin Siyues expression was solemn. She turned her head to look around her and it wasnt hard to see the long history of this small ward. The paint had rubbed off on the corners of the table next to the bed and the windows were also slightly worn. Xin Siyue raised her hand and touched her stomach. It was completely flat without any of the so-called post-labor pains. She couldnt help but reach out and cover her own eyes. So, does that mean that she returned? Wheres her baby? Wheres Chen Sinan? Wheres everyone? Xin Siyue could no longer tell the difference. Were those fantastical memories of the past just vivid dreams? Or did they really exist? Would she be able to go back by closing her eyes, so that she could go back to when she gave birth to her baby? Her babyThat inexplicable sense of pain Xin Siyue had just shut her eyes and opened them again quickly after. No! Those arent dreams! She and Chen Sinan had a wedding together, and they had a child! Those really happened! Xin Siyue quickly climbed out of bed and had just taken a single step, she didnt expect her legs to be completely powerless, and she immediately fell beside the bed. She was splayed on the ground and tears suddenly dropped from her eyes! Why! Why?! I cant go back anymore! I really cant! What about Chen Sinan? What about the baby? She only had time to take one look at her baby and she couldnt even remember what he looked like. She She didnt even manage to hold him once Thats right, she didnt even have the time to tell Chen Sinan the name she thought of for their child! But, there were no more chances! It was too late for everything! Chen Sinan Chapter 214 - What About Chen Sinan? What About the Baby? (2) Chapter 214: What About Chen Sinan? What About the Baby? (2) Oh gosh, Yueyue, what are you doing! Quickly, get up! Mother Xin who had just returned from buying porridge came in to see her sobbing on the ground, and the sight of her pained cry made her eyes redden as well. You silly child, what are you crying about after you finally woke up? Mom Xin Siyue hugged her and it felt more and more difficult to suppress her emotions. Mom, my babybaby I cant go back anymore! I cant go back! What baby? Its fine, its fine. Dont cry. Well have to thank the heavens that you finally woke up, nothing else is important anymore! But Xin Siyue could only think about crying. Besides crying, she couldnt find another way to vent her emotions. Xin Siyue cried for a long time and finally stopped when her eyes were swollen. If not for her worrying that her mother would hurt herself from crying with her, it might have been difficult for her to stop. Mom Xin Siyue looked at her mother who seemed to turn older all of a sudden, and for a moment, she didnt know where to begin. Youve cried for so long that you must be hungry. Have some porridge. When Xin Siyue saw her busy herself with feeding her, her eyes couldnt help but swell with tears again. Mom, Im sorry! Silly girl, why are you apologizing? Im really sorry, mom! She lived such a happy life in that world but left her only loved one alone in this world to wait on painfully. Mother Xin saw how she kept acting so off and though she had no idea what happened. She was worried that asking her now would make her even more sad, so she could only say, Mom will be happy as long as youre well. Nothing else matters anymore. No matter how hard life is, or how poorly we have to live, we can still make it through. Mom Im sorry! The only thing she could say was sorry. Xin Siyue was discharged the next day despite Mother Xins attempts to dissuade her. She had already found out last night that it had been more than a month since she fell down the stairs. Since she was admitted to the hospital after someone discovered her, Mother Xin had helped her transfer to several different hospitals many times. Many doctors say that though she still had life left in her, the chances of her waking up were very low. But Mother Xin always believed that she would wake up. She sold her mortgage and ran around everywhere just in hopes that she could wake up. Xin Siyue walked out of the hospital while pulling along her luggage. When she looked up at the golden glow of the sun, she knew that life would only get harder. But now that shes back, what else could she do besides gritting her teeth and living on? She searched online for a long time and finally found a two-room house. The price was very cheap, and from what she could see, besides the house being a little small, everything else was acceptable, so she rented it. Mother Sins body was sickly, so Xin Siyue had her stay at home to rest while she went out to look for a job. Their new apartment was very simple. Even though Xin Siyue wasnt very happy with it, she was helpless to do anything. She also called the school after she was discharged to see if she could get her job back, but the director could only answer with hems and haws. Mostly, it was because her teaching license was about to expire. Xin Siyue had no intention to continue working as a teacher so instead, she focused on finding a job as a host. Without any background or connections, as well as not having the certifications, the road to look for a job was very bumpy for her. Chapter 215 - What About Chen Sinan? What About the Baby? (3) Chapter 215: What About Chen Sinan? What About the Baby? (3) After seeing that she was receiving no news even after a week had passed, Xin Siyue was forced to send in her resume to a company as a clerk. After the interview, her admission notice quickly arrived. When she first began working there, Xin Siyue found a small childrens training center not toofar from her workplace that happened to be recruiting dance teachers. Xin Siyue spent more than two weeks working hard to strengthen her body and working up her basic dance skills. Unexpectedly, she received great praise when she went in for the interview. After discussing with the person in charge and signing the contract, she walked through the bustling streets with a black umbrella in her hand and her heart feeling heavy. Everything that happened today was nothing more than confirmation that what she went through in that book was all true. She had learned how to dance, she learned how to host, and she even had people she once loved. Even if she wanted all of that back, she had nowhere to begin. Xin Siyue felt like a lonely wandering soul in this world without any sense of direction. In front of the crossroads, the red numbers lit up. Just like the countless others waiting with her, she stared before her in a daze. Who knows how many times those blurry numbers changed as Xin Siyue suddenly looked up, she noticed a bookstore at the right-hand side of the intersection in front. The glass doors of the store were closed and opened again. After opening again, the door was shut again by the person who just left. The green numbers had already appeared for some time and someone suddenly bumped into her from behind. She quickly stabilized herself and came back to her senses. When she looked up again, her eyes were right on that bookstore. Then, moving her legs, she quickly strolled towards the store. Even after searching for a long time, Xin Siyue couldnt find the book. After asking the clerk and finding out that Confident Wife of the President wasnt sold there, her eyes dimmed for a few seconds. Then, she turned sharply and headed for the next bookstore. All the way until night time, she visited bookstore after bookstore. But unfortunately, all the shops told her, Sorry, our store doesnt carry that book. Xin Siyue headed back dazedly to the small apartment where they were staying. Mother Xin was weaving something underneath the dim light. Mom, why dont you turn on a brighter light? I can see fine, dont worry. This is more energy-efficient. Xin Siyue suddenly felt a sour taste in her mouth. Slowly, after that choking feeling disappeared, she spoke, Mom, your eyes arent good, you should stop. Im fine. Mother Xin stood up and was just about to ask whether she had eaten and suggested heating up some food, but she noticed that her clothes were half-drenched. She quickly asked, Why are you wet? Didnt you bring your umbrella? Xin Siyue lied. The rain was a bit heavy. Mother Xin quickly handed her a towel. If the rain is too big next time then you can just come home a bit later. You just recovered, what are you going to do if you get sick again? Xin Siyue forced herself to put on a smile. Alright, Ill remember that next time. Ill go take a shower first, mom. Quickly go. Xin Siyue went back into her room, and after shutting the door, she let her body slide down to the ground like a sunken pit and her eyes were empty. They didnt have the book None of them did Could that really have been all just a dream? Xin Siyue suddenly thought of something and quickly went on Baidu to search up the title Then, when she saw the familiar names of the male and female lead, as well as the supporting characters in the summary, she couldnt stop her tears from flowing down. Chen Sinan Chapter 216 - Yes, My Surname is Chen, But I’m Not Chen Sinan” (1) Chapter 216: Yes, My Surname is Chen, But Im Not Chen Sinan (1) That wasnt a dream. Xin Siyue began looking for the book desperately, but strangely enough, it was as if it had disappeared without a trace. She ran through all the bookstores in this entire city but she got the same response from all of them. Sorry, we dont carry this book in our store anymore. Were the sales of this book so staggering that all of them had been bought? Clearly, Xin Siyue didnt believe that. Until one day, when she posted online to ask for a copy of the physical book, she found out from a response that someone had been desperately wanting to buy the book besides her. This was how they responded, Thats strange, why is someone asking for that book again? Xin Siyue was shocked. Who else could it be besides her? Excuse me, may I ask who else is looking for that book? From what I heard it seems to be the original author. I heard they mentioned that there were flaws with the book that they didnt want to spread, so they bought all the books from all the bookstores and even Taobao. She even bought many of the copies from the readers with a high price. Why? Is there anything strange about this book? Is there a treasure inside or something? That person seemed to take it as a joke. But Xin Siyue fell into deep thought. The author? Shi Shi? Xin Siyue quickly went back to the post to ask if that person had the book, or maybe knew where she could get a copy, but that person replied no. I wouldnt read that kind of dog blood president novel! Then, do you know who the author is? Or her address? I wouldnt know who it is, but you could probably find the address from those who sent the book back. The behavior of the author was really strange! There must be a secret inside that book. Otherwise, why would she be in such a hurry to destroy it? The more she thought about it, the more deeply she believed that it must be so. Could it be that the secret for her to transmigrate back laid inside the book? Xin Siyue wanted to clear everything up, so for some time, she went everywhere to ask about the book or the authors whereabouts. After ending up with zero clues, Xin Siyue suddenly thought that if that person hated her so much, then she definitely knew her. However, after checking through all the female friends she knew, she came out with nothing. Until one day, when she went on Weibo and followed the official blog that promoted the book before, she saw the contents of her post and was amazed to find that the author had already passed away for more than a month. The cause of her death seemed to be from a robbery and she was unfortunately stabbed when she tried to resist and died of excessive blood loss. When Xin Siyue saw that post, she felt goosebumps rise all over her body. Shes dead? So, the author transmigrated in after she died? She was stunned. Then, she slowly came back to her senses. She went through the bloggers Weibo and after going through several pages, found a post about the author. The story of her death was similar, but more specifically, it mentioned that she was writing before her death, and her computer was left on with handwritten manuscripts scattered all around her keyboard. Also, less than two centimeters away from her was an open book, and the page seemed to be stained with blood. Xin Siyue read word by word seriously, and finally, she felt her temples throbbing painfully. She shut off the computer and massaged her head, feeling disconsolate. So, the author transmigrated after she died? The only similarity Xin Siyue could find with transmigrating was that it had something to do with blood and a book. So, was blood a vital factor? Chapter 217 - Yes, My Surname is Chen, But I’m Not Chen Sinan” (2) Chapter 217: Yes, My Surname is Chen, But Im Not Chen Sinan (2) So, was blood a vital factor? Why? How could she and the author transmigrate into the same book? Because the author created that world? Because she had the same name as the supporting female character? Xin Siyue had the vague feeling that she was missing something out. It wasnt until a week later when Xin Siyue heard her mom mentioning it did she realize that that scum man also had something happen to his illegitimate daughter some time ago. Xin Siyues hatred for that man had never reduced this whole time. Mother Xin had just said a few words when Xin Siyue cut her off. Mom, can you not mention him? You know I dont want to hear anything about him! Mother Xins face turned sour, and she said, Alright. Its justI noticed youve been looking up news about some author recently, and from what I heard, her illegitimate daughter seems to be an author as well An author? So coincidental? Yeah, isnt it? I heard from others that after she was cremated, many of the books that were piled up in her house were burned as well. Some people even said that she must have had all those same books piled up in her house because they wouldnt sell. Its a pity to think about it. Her? Pitiful? What, were there not many other pitiful people in this world as well? Xin Siyue was speechless for a moment. Could it really be that coincidental? Then, Xin Siyue asked for her address before she passed away and went to look for it during her free time at the weekends. After looking around for a long time, she finally found the house where she lived. Only, the house was tightly locked. Xin Siyue knocked on the door for a long time, but nobody opened the door. Miss, who are you looking for? When Xin Siyue heard that voice, she turned around to see a haggard old woman standing hunchbacked. Hello granny, do you know if anyone lives here? The old granny looked at her and said, Nobodys been living there for a long time now. After that strange shut-in girl died, nobodys been here since. Xin Siyue was stunned in place. After a while, she asked, Granny, can I ask you something? Im just an old woman, I dont know much, but what do you want to know? I just wanted to ask Xin Siyue turned to look at the short white house and asked, THe person who lived hereWas her surname Xin? And was she an author? I dont know if shes an author, but her surname really is Xin. Also, I know that she died a pretty terrible death. But of course, I heard her life was miserable as well. Her mother got involved with someone elses father and gave birth to her, and she seemed to have passed away early on, leaving only her daughter alone. Also, her biological father never came to see her at all. I heard their relationship was also terrible. So, she never came out of her house during the day. Sometimes she would come down for a walk after eating, or youd see her with her head down hurrying to the supermarket to buy instant noodles. Shes a frail young lady with pretty big eyes. Well, theyre quite similar to your eyes but not as bright. She skulks around and rarely makes eye contact with anyone. While talking, the granny tried to recall everything. At the end, she added on, You know, shes a little strange. One time when my grandson was out for a walk with me after our meal, I saw her brushing by us nervously with her head down. I even called out to her, but then she looked at me in a panic, and then at my son with those bright eyes. Then she ran. It really looks very strange. But Im not the only person who feels that way. All the other older folks and children feel the same. Xin Siyue listened to her quietly and immediately affirmed that the author who wrote that book did in fact have some blood relations with her. Only, that was not a relationship Xin Siyue was willing to accept. So, the reason she hated her was because of that scumbag? If not for him, then the two of them wouldnt have such broken families today. She hated herself, so she wrote her into the book and gave her everything, only to come to a miserable end. So, was this all just her way of venting? Xin Siyue suddenly understood something. She understood why she was so crazy now. Because in the real world, her personality and the people she came in contact with, none of them were normal Xin Siyue suddenly thought of something and was just about to ask when she heard the deep magnetic voice of a man from behind her. That voice clearly sounded displeased. Grandma, what are you saying now? Xin Siyue subconsciously turned towards that voice and saw a tall dark figure less than a few steps away from her. That body was slightly thin, and those black clothes were clearly marked with traces of dust and dirt. Xin Siyue looked up along his clothes until she had a clear look at that face. Then, she couldnt help but widen her eyes, and her mouth moved. Before she could speak, her tears poured down. ChenChen Sinan Those same thick brows, the same deep eyes, and the same tall nose Its him. Its really him. Tears flowed down her cheeks and she had the instinctive need to jump into her arms, but just after taking a few steps forward, she was stopped by a cold voice. Please stay where you are, miss! Yes, my surname is Chen, but Im not Chen Sinan or whatever. Then, he looked at her again and pointed out cruelly. Youve got the wrong person, miss. Xin Siyue couldnt stop her tears and she looked at her through her blurred gaze, shaking her head hard. No, you are him. You look just like him. How could you not be him? But that man looked at him as if she were disgusting and walked past her to help the old woman. Grandma, how many times did I tell you? Dont talk to strangers. What are we going to do if something happens to you? That old woman smiled affectionately. Whats going to happen to me? Shes just a young lady! What can she do to an old woman like me? Anyway, cant hurt to be a little more careful! After saying that, she helped the old woman back home. When he walked past Xin Siyue, he looked at her and his gaze looked like he was calling her a weirdo. Xin Siyue wanted to stop him and ask him a few things, before she eventually stopped when greeted with that cold and distant attitude. Only the granny seemed to be in a good mood. Before leaving, she turned around and asked with a smile, So? Is my grandson handsome? Everyone whos seen him is filled with praises for him. Xin Siyue was speechless. That man urged her impatiently, What are you saying, grandma? Lets hurry home. Xin Siyue watched as that figure slowly left, and she still did not look away. He really looked like him Chen Sinan Chapter 218 - Are You Really Not Him? Chapter 218: Are You Really Not Him? Despite knowing that it was just someone who looked a lot like Chen Sinan No matter how many times she told herself he wasnt Chen Sinan, her stubborn heart refused to listen. Was he really not him? She needed to confirm. Only then, could she give up. She couldnt think of any other way to see him again than waiting at the place she first saw him. She had to wait for three days before he appeared. Xin Siyue stood in front of the short white house and waited tirelessly until the street lights turned on at night. It was then that she saw him. He wore a full black outfit and carried a laptop bag in his hand as he approached. Other than the obvious fatigue on his face, he did resemble Chen Sinan a lot. Xin Siyue took two steps forward, her eyes fixed firmly on his figure. The man had already noticed her. He casually tossed a look at her before walking forward as though he didnt see her. There was no hesitation in his steps. Xin Siyue stared at him intently. When she saw him walk past her with no intention of stopping, she couldnt help but cry out, Wait! Did you call me? When the man turned his head, a trace of displeasure could be seen on his face. You.. If you want to ask if Im that man again, my answer is the same as last time. Miss, you have the wrong person. Xin Siyue stared at him and hesitated for a moment before asking insistently, Do you really not recognize me? The man curved his lips into a slight smile. Do you know me? I are you really not him? No. The man answered with a sigh. Miss, that pickup line is so old. You might have picked my interest if you had tried something more original. Xin Siyue smiled helplessly. Sorry. I guess I do have the wrong person. After that, she added, You just really look like him. I might look like him, but Im not him. He retracted his smile. Miss, the person you love isnt me. Please stop waiting here and go back. Xin Siyue squeezed out a smile. Thank you. When she turned and left, she shook her head helplessly. She was overthinking. How could he be Chen Sinan? Chen Sinan was in the other world, his life and death were unknown. Xin Siyue, even if he doesnt exist in this world, you should still try to live on for your own sake. As her figure grew smaller and smaller in the distance, she didnt know that the man stood in one spot and stared at her for a long moment. When his phone rang, he picked up the call and listened to the other end for a few seconds before suddenly saying, Have you ever had a strange woman look at you like she was looking at a close lover? Screw off! I really dont know! I met her only a few days ago! Speaking of, it was pretty weird. When she saw me for the first time, she burst out crying. I felt a little distressed by her tears. Yeah, it is weird. Geez, youre thinking too much. I was moved by her? Please, Ive only seen her a few times at most and spoken maybe five words total to her! Hey, hey, what are you thinking? Why would I want to pursue her? Plus, she was obviously deeply in love with another man. Why would he go and try to join that party? Chapter 219 - What? Did that man study architecture too?” (1) Chapter 219: What? Did that man study architecture too? (1) Although Chen Junxing was curious about that woman, he knew she only saw him as someone who looked like the man she loved. They were strangers anyway, so there was no reason for him to get involved. Unknownst to Xin Siyue, Chen Junxing had actually spotted her every day she waited in front of the white house. His deliberate avoidance coupled with her absent-mindedness made her miss him every time. Even from a distance away, Chen Junxing could clearly see the sadness and loneliness on her face. He wondered, what kind of story did she have with that man? Why did the man leave her? Did he find a new lover? Or did he pass away tragically? Chen Junxing couldnt think of a reason and he didnt want to either. However, he didnt think that he would bump into her again just after a few days. He was casually browsing the shelves in a bookstore and found the book he was searching for at the top of a shelf for architectural books. Just as he grabbed the book and was about to look at its spine for the publisher and date of publication, a flash of white caught his attention. It was a womans skirt. Skirt? Woman? Chen Junxing frowned slightly and looked up to meet a pair of hazy eyes. Her again? Before he could open his mouth, he heard her ask in a trembling voice, You you know architecture too? Chen Junxing looked at the book in his hand, then at her expression. She looked like she was about to cry. He paused for a few seconds before answering, What? That man studied architecture too? Why was he so similar to that man? It almost disgusted him. Hed always believed that he was a rather unique person of his own. However, this woman kept on telling him that there was another man in the world who was very similar to him. It was an annoying feeling. Unfortunately, the woman didnt notice his annoyance. She even looked at him with shining eyes and nodded. Hes very talented in the field of architecture. Then, she couldnt help but add, Even your frowning expression looks identical to his. Oh. Chen Junxing thought that if he kept talking to her, he would be angered to the point of wanting to strangle her. Miss, do I need to remind you a third time that Im not him? This time, he could see the lonely expression she was hiding. I know youre not him. He wouldnt treat me like this. He must be waiting for me in the other world, she answered with a self-mocking smile. Chen Junxing wanted to ask if she needed him to introduce her to a hospital, but she walked away before he could say anything. He couldnt help but stare at her back. Was it because her lover passed away? She became like this because she couldnt withstand the blow? While he was pondering, he suddenly remembered what she said about his frown and quickly relaxed his brows. How annoying! He couldnt be bothered with her, when he went to the front to check out, he saw her talking to the cashier. The cashier shook his head in response to whatever she had asked him. Are you sure? she asked again. Im sure, miss. There is no record of it. Im sorry. Oh. No, its alright. Thank you. When Chen Junxing saw the lost expression on her face after she said that, he couldnt help but raise an eyebrow. What was she looking for? He waited until she left before going to the checkout. After paying the bill, Chen Junxing got ready to leave, but turned back around and asked the cashier, Hello, may I ask what book that lady just now was looking for? Oh, yes. She was looking for some CEO novel, but we really dont have it here. CEO? Romance novel? She liked that kind of novel? He really couldnt tell. Thank you. Afterwards, he exited the bookstore and walked a full circle around it. Despite that, he didnt see that woman again. Her eagerness to find such a boring book puzzled him even though he didnt really care. The next day, when he was going out to eat with a few friends, Fa Xiao placed a hand on his shoulder and asked, So? Did you nail that crying girl? Girl? Chen Junxing answered in confusion. You know! The one you said was crying so hard it made you want to pursue her! Chen Junxing brushed off his friends hand and reached for a glass of beer. He took a slow sip before asking leisurely, Are you drunk? Their other friends leaned forward, eager to be let in on the gossip. All of you can stop speculating. Hes just spouting pure nonsense, Chen Junxing said, much to their disappointment. You know better than anyone else whether its nonsense or not! Fa Xiao retorted. From the way I see it, youve never been moved by any of the girls who liked you before! This time, you felt distressed when you saw a random weeping beauty on the streets. Why dont you explain that then? Chapter 220 - What? Did that man study architecture too?” (2) Chapter 220: What? Did that man study architecture too? (2) Chen Junxing was silent for a few minutes. It was strange indeed. Due to his handsome looks and cold temperament, growing up, he was often the target of affection for many girls. He also had several girlfriends, but unfortunately, none of those relationships lasted for more than half a month. Mostly because he had absolutely no interest in them. Therefore, he had seen plenty of sad and crying girls. However, he could always watch them cry and mercilessly finish cutting ties with them afterwards. It was really his first time feeling distressed when watching a woman cry. However, he was oddly certain that he didnt like her. So, he replied, Are romantic emotions that superficial? Falling for someone Ive met less than a handful of times isnt my style. The group immediately heckled him, Then, Mister Chen, how do you explain all the girls youve dated? Chen Junxing was stunned. Ah, he had just slapped himself in the face. After getting his face slapped, Chen Junxing went home only to find out that there were guests. His grandma refused to move back, saying that she liked the people in the area and was tired of dealing with her sons phony friends. Chen Junxing and his parents had tried to persuade her multiple times, but the elderly was stubborn. They could only give up. From time to time, they would come to visit her, eventually, they sent over a reliable nanny to take care of the old woman. It just so happened that his new construction project was being done nearby. Since it was an important project, Chen Junxing often visited the site in person to survey the progress. During the month he lived at his grandmas house, he never once saw her bring a guest over. When he saw the pair of light-colored high heels in the doorway, he suddenly had a bad premonition. A few days ago, his grandma had attacked him by innuendo and asked if he was interested in any girls. He stood at the entrance and wondered if he should turn around and leave. Alas, before he could do anything, his grandma came out and saw him. Junxing, you are finally back! Hurry, grandma has a friend to introduce to you! Chen Junxing was just about to give an excuse and run when the old lady grabbed his arm and dragged him into the living room. Immediately, he caught sight of a straight, slender back seated in a chair. It looked very familiar. When the woman turned her head, he immediately recognized her. What a coincidence. Miss, you even managed to find your way to my house! Xin Siyue looked at him without speaking or moving. What exactly was going on between her and that old lady? When Xin Siyue was taking the bus earlier, she saw the old lady get on and naturally got up to give her her seat. Who wouldve thought that the old lady would recognize her and grab her hand. Youre the girl who asked me about that strange woman the other day, am I right? The stunned Xin Siyue had responded with a little nod. What a coincidence! The city is so big, yet we still managed to meet again on the same bus! Yes, what a coincidence. She couldnt even explain it anymore. Xin Siyue could only shift the topic. She asked the old lady why she was riding the bus alone. I wanted to go to a flower shop to see if they had any of the varieties I want, but I ended up missing my stop. Now, Im going back. I see. The old lady noticed that she didnt speak much, but continued anyway, Are you interested in those things? If so, you can accompany me to look at them. All of a sudden, Xin Siyue was reminded of Grandpa Chen and Bai Ning and ended up agreeing. After accompanying her to pick out a number of plants, the old lady wanted to thank her by inviting her to eat a meal. Xin Siyue naturally declined. When you asked me that question a few days ago, I went home and thought about whether or not I forgot anything. Two days ago, I remembered that a strange young man, surnamed Xin, had also given me a gift. I think it was a book! Xin Siyue immediately widened her eyes and excitedly grabbed her hands. Granny, are you telling the truth? The old woman smiled until her eyes turned into slits. Of course. But I didnt look at it clearly before I put it away. Granny, can you lend me the book? Of course! Xin Siyue followed her in a daze, and that was how she inadvertently saw the man who looked like Chen Sinan again. Chapter 221 - Thank you for letting me see him again (1) Chapter 221: Thank you for letting me see him again (1) She had spent the rest of the bus ride in an anxious state, wondering what would happen once she saw the book. Never once did she think that she would end up seeing him again. What a coincidence. Miss, you even managed to find your way to my house! The mans displeasure was clear from the sarcastic tone of his voice. She thought for a moment before standing up. Mr Chen, I think youre misunderstanding something. I didnt come here for you, she tried to explain. Oh, really? Then tell me, what did you come to my house? Grandma Chen saw the two confronting each other with daggers in their eyes and hurriedly explained, Junxing, what are you saying? Miss Xin kindly gave me her seat on the bus and even accompanied me to the flower shop today. I invited her over to have a meal as thanks. Dont scare her away! Chen Junxing listened to his grandmas explanation but shot Xin Siyue a meaningful look. Naturally, she understood his look. She reckoned that in his eyes, she was just another woman desperate to get close to him. Since she couldnt get anywhere with him directly, she decided to go through his grandma instead. However, that really wasnt her intention. Xin Yuyue thought that this meal wasnt important anyway. Her only intention was to get the book. She walked over to Grandma Chen and said politely, I appreciate your good intentions, Grandma Su. If theres an opportunity in the future, Ill invite you to a meal. For now, could you let me see the book? Grandma Su wasnt an ignorant person. She could tell that there was discord between the two and didnt dare make Xin Siyue stay. Then, you wait here, Siyue. Ill go look for it. Thank you, Grandma Chen. Do you want any help? Grandma Chen hurriedly said, No, no! You should sit down and have some tea. Junxing, please help me keep Siyue company. As Grandma Chen made her upstairs, she shot Chen Junxing a look. Despite feeling annoyed, he nodded. After every two steps, she would look back to make sure the two didnt start quarreling. She thought how strange it was! Why werent they getting along? It was unscientific! Chen Junxing also felt unscientific. Why was it that whenever he saw this woman, he would feel the urge to mock her? He somehow felt a sense of victory from seeing her aggrieved expression. However, when he thought about it carefully, she hadnt done anything wrong. The most she had done was mistake him for someone else, which made him feel very disturbed. Xin Siyue sat at the very corner of the sofa and didnt try to break the awkward silence. It was Chen Junxing, who was standing behind her, who finally opened his mouth after a few minutes. Your name is Xin Siyue? He heard it from his grandma earlier. Mhm, she said absent-mindedly, seemingly lost in thought. Seeing this, Chen Junxing frowned and said, My name is Chen Junxing. When his words fell, he saw her look at him with a deep stare. Though he didnt know what that look meant, he still explained, Im not the man youre looking for. Xin Siyue smiled bitterly. Mr Chen, I know youre not him. Could you not purposely remind me every time? I might be desperate to find him, but Im not so desperate that I cant differentiate between the two of you. Chen Junxing stiffened and opened his mouth to retort, but she cut him off first. I dont have any intentions, nor do I have any interest in you. You dont need to be so cautious. Im only here to look for a book. That book again? He suddenly remembered what he heard at the bookstore. She seemed to be looking for a romance novel Was that kind of book really worth all of this effort? My grandmas eyes are bad, so she stopped reading books several years ago. Youre here to borrow a book from her? Dont you think that sounds suspicious? he couldnt help but say. Xin Siyue glanced at him and pursed her lips. Her contempt could easily be seen in that one look, which made him want to yell at her. Fortunately, Grandma Chen came down the stairs just then. She said apologetically, Im sorry, Siyue, but I searched everywhere and just couldnt find the book! Xin Siyue stood up and asked with a tone of urgency, You cant find it? Grandma Chen shook her head. I cant find it! But if you want, I can go look again. Of course, Xin Siyue didnt dare trouble the old lady any longer. Thank you, but theres no need. Its fine if you cant find the book. I guess its just fate. Chapter 222 - Thank you for letting me see him again (2) Chapter 222: Thank you for letting me see him again (2) Of course, Xin Siyue didnt dare trouble the old lady any longer. Thank you, but theres no need. Its fine if you cant find the book. I guess its just fate. Otherwise, why would it be so difficult to find a single book? She couldnt help but laugh at herself. Right. Why was she so hung up on that book? What did she think would happen once she found it? Could she still go back? Would it take her to Chen Sinan? She whispered to herselfhow stupid! Raising her head, she looked deeply at Chen Juxing. If she couldnt see Chen Sinan again in this life, at least his appearance was still etched in the depths of her memories. He would live on forever in her memories. With her. Since the book couldnt be found, Xin Siyue naturally resigned. Once Xin Siyue was gone, Grandma Chen couldnt help but whip around and scold her grandson. Junxing, I know your father and grandfather taught you how to behave like a gentleman! Where did those manners go? Dont forget your name. Your grandfather named you Junxing in hopes that you would grow up to be a magnanimous gentleman! How could you treat Siyue like that? Chen Junxing wanted to refute; being a gentleman? That depends on the person! Unfortunately, his grandma couldnt be bothered with him and left. He stood there and thought for a moment. Although Xin Siyue had smiled when she told his grandma goodbye, the crushing despair in her eyes was real. Was that book really so important to her? He suddenly ran outside. Xin Siyue was lost in her thoughts and hadnt gone far. Chen Junxing caught up with her and quickly grabbed her wrist. Xin Siyue stared at the gates of the residential area, then she turned around and saw a crescent moon hanging in the sky. The mans breathing sounded loud in the still night. She looked at him and all of a sudden, her eyes began to sting. What are you doing? she asked, forcing her tears back. Chen Junxing didnt know what he did to make her want to cry again and assumed his grip on her wrist had hurt her. Embarrassed, he hurriedly let go. She stared at him silently, seemingly waiting for him to say something. He carelessly ran a hand through his hair and avoided her burning gaze.What book are you looking for? Ill help you! he proposed weakly. As soon as Xin Siyue heard his words, her eyes darkened and her gaze focused on something in the near distance. She spoke clearly and coldly, however, a sense of powerlessness could still be heard in her voice. Thank you, but no thanks. I dont think it can be found again. Time after time, she was given hope only for it to be crushed. She had already given up. Chen Junxing, I appreciate your kindness. I dont think we should see each other again. Stunned, Chen Junxing blurted out a Why? The moment he said that, he wanted to slap his own mouth. Why the hell did he ask that? Fortunately, Xin Siyue didnt notice. Only a bitter smile could be seen on her face. Because you look too much like him and youre not him. Every time I see you, Im reminded of him again. It makes all of my walls break down. I cant pretend to be strong in front of you. But I know youre not him. Youre not him. Chen Junxing, thank you for existing. Thank you for letting me see him again. If it werent for the person who came up with the idea to write the story, she probably never wouldve met Chen Sinan. It didnt matter if everything was just a dream because in her heart, they were her most beautiful memories. If she never met Chen Sinan again in this life she would find him again in their next life. Chen Junxing stood in one place and watched until her fragile back disappeared into the darkness, then he turned around and walked back. Why did she thank him? For letting her see the man she loved for the last time? He frowned. He was an only child. His father was a good man and didnt have any illegitimate children. So, what exactly was the relationship between him and the man she spoke of? There were so many mysteries surrounding her. He wanted to figure them out, but there was nowhere to start. What made him even more confused was that after she said she wouldnt see him again, she really did completely disappear. Half a month later, he pulled his luggage through the airport, ready to return to his own place. Looking around, she was still nowhere in sight. They were just two strangers pulled together by a mysterious third person. In the end, he didnt see her again. Heh. Fate was strange. Chapter 223 - Xin Siyue looked up and saw Chen Junxing’s handsome face (1) Chapter 223: Xin Siyue looked up and saw Chen Junxings handsome face (1) Chen Junxing thought that after returning to J City, the possibility of him seeing Xin Siyue again would be close to zero, but they somehow met again on Army Day. The event planner was one of his old high school classmates. He was getting married and asked Chen Junxing to help him design a house. Chen Junxing rarely took up small projects. At the time, he had laughed and asked, Your bride sure has guts. She told you to ask me? His former classmate laughed too. Isnt it because youre famous? My fiance practically worships you! She said that if she could live in a house designed by you, she would be able to die without regrets. Youre not annoyed by it? Chen Junxing teased. No choice. Who told me to love her so much? Chapter By WordExcerpt Chen Junxing looked at him contemptuously and said, If it was me, I wouldnt be able to tolerate my woman thinking about another man. You can say this now because you havent found the right woman yet. When you do, youll realize that in front of her, all of your own principles are reduced to dust. I think only you would be so crazy. Instead of arguing with him, his former classmate shifted the topic. So, are you free enough to help me design a house? Im begging you! Chen Junxing thought for a moment before agreeing, Alright! Ill do it for you as a wedding gift. Youd better cherish it. Okay! Great Mr Chen, I am forever grateful! Chen Junxing laughed and didnt respond. However, when he turned around, the image of that fragile woman surfaced in his mind. Was she still looking for her lover? After completing the design draft, he contacted his former classmate. The wedding rehearsal was just starting, he didnt have time to meet with Chen Junxing to discuss it. Chen Junxing thought about it and said, Forget it. I might as well play the good guy till the end. Im going somewhere anyway, Ill drop it off along the way. His former classmate hurriedly thanked him. Chapter By WordExcerpt The government building was a place Chen Junxing couldnt be more familiar with. Hed frequented it with classmates in high school. Every time there was a large-scale event in the city, the venue would be on the eighth floor of the building. There, countless equipment could be found. The stage lighting and sound effects were amazing. It took him no effort to find the rehearsal area. He entered from the main entrance just in time to hear the music inside pick up its tempo. From afar, a slender figure in a white ancient-style dress could be seen. Her long sleeves swept out as she leapt and twirled around. Each of her movements was filled with the distinct grace of a flowing river. For a second, Chen Junxing doubted his own eyesightwhy did that woman on the stage look exactly like Xin Siyue? He slowly walked closer and sat down in the first row. Only then did his mouth curve into a smile. It really was her! Why did she come to J City? Accident? Coincidence? Chen Junxing felt that it couldnt be explained. Although there were only a few people in the audience, there was a lot of applause. Chen Junxing watched her leave the stage and also stood up. His former classmate saw him then and said, Youre here? Let me Hey, where are you going? Hold on! I need to find someone! Chen Junxing shouted while running out. Xin Siyue was preparing to change her clothes in the waiting room, when she was halfway there, a panting black figure suddenly appeared and gave her a fright. She looked up and saw Chen Junxings handsome face. The words Chen Sinan immediately sprung to the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back. He wasnt Chen Sinan! Realizing this cruel reality, she asked him unhappily, Why are you here? Chen Junxing retorted, Shouldnt I be asking you that? Why are you here? She walked past him and said over her shoulder, Dont overthink it. I didnt even know you were in this city. Oh, really? She snorted. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I just came here to perform. Chen Junxing followed her and stopped in the doorway of the waiting room. She turned around to look at him. That one look bewildered him. Im just surprised that you can dance. Xin Siyue smiled. Are we familiar? Why are you surprised that I can dance? Chen Junxing also smiled. Can we not talk like this? She fell silent, then responded, Okay. He continued to stand there without any intention to move. Chapter 224 - Xin Siyue looked up and saw Chen Junxing’s handsome face (2) Chapter 224: Xin Siyue looked up and saw Chen Junxings handsome face (2) There are a lot of people inside the waiting room right now. Are you sure you want to stand right here? Oh, right. I guess youre busy. Ill look for you when the rehearsal is over, he said awkwardly. Thank you, but no thanks. We just happened to bump into each other. When the performance is over, I have other things to do. Chen Junxing didnt expect her to refuse so bluntly, but he didnt insist. Okay, then when youre free next time. Although she didnt know what he was planning, it made her feel a little unsettled. She simply turned around and walked into the waiting room. As she did, she heard someone from outside greet him. Fancy meeting you here, Mr Chen. Would you like to come have some tea in my office? She couldnt help but think; The people here are all rich and influential. Is Chen Junxing familiar with them? But it was just a fleeting moment of curiosity. Chapter By WordExcerpt When Chen Junxing handed the design draft to his former classmate, his former classmate revealed a look of amazement. Chen Junxing was long used to such reactions and directly asked, How was the dancer for the solo performance chosen? Through the audience and judges, of course! Everyone who tried out was required to pass through three screenings, so their qualifications had to be high. Chen Junxing was silent for a few seconds. His former classmate felt something was off and asked, What, do you know that beauty? No. No? Then why did you go running after her? Chen Junxing laughed and didnt refute. He really wasnt familiar with her. Or at least, he could tell she didnt want to be familiar with him. Before going back, Chen Junxing asked his former classmate to send him a recording of all three screening rounds for the solo performance. His former classmate smiled meaningfully without saying anything. Chapter By WordExcerpt Once he received it, Chen Junxing replayed the video several times from start to finish before closing the tab. Oh. Her movements and emotional portrayal were surprisingly good. The official performance was held at 2:30pm the next day. Chen Junxings former classmate was surprised to see him arrive. Since when were you interested in these things? The man rolled his eyes. I worked day and night on your design draft and this is how you repay me? Of course not. Im just curious if youre here to see the beauty Screw off! What? You took a fancy to her? his former classmate continued to gloat. No one will call you mute if you dont talk, though youre as good as mute even when you do talk! Haha! Now, youre acting even more suspicious. Oh, right. Does your dad know youre here? Is my dad here too? No. Good. Otherwise, his father would start pestering him. Xin Siyues performance was tenth on the list. Chen Junxing sat in the first row at the left side of the stage and listened in boredom. Oh, the pot-bellied man behind the microphone invited him over for dinner once. The man got drunk and plopped his dirty slippers down on the dining table. Chen Junxing had been rendered speechless by his behavior. The rest of the show passed by with him in a daze, even though on the outside, he showed a patient expression. Finally, it came Xin Siyues turn to perform. When the lights dimmed, he immediately sat up and fixed his eyes on the white figure on the stage. The spotlight hit her and she began to dance. It was a brilliant, vivid performance of difficult moves and executions. It wasnt until he heard the thundering applause of the audience that Chen Junxing broke out of his trance. When did he become so interested in dance? There was one last act with the speakers and performers at the end, so the performers werent allowed to wash off their makeup or leave early. Xin Siyue hadnt even reached the waiting room before her path was blocked by someone she didnt want to see. She looked at his white shirt and suddenly fell into a daze. In her memories, Chen Junxing always wore black clothes. However, white was Chen Sinans favorite color for clothing. When he dressed like this Really, he looked just like Chen Sinan When Chen Junxing saw her in a daze, his intuition told him she was thinking about that man again. Xin Siyue! Huh? Could you not look at me like that? It was really annoying! Im sorry! She forced her gaze down she really couldnt help it. Even though she told herself to stop thinking about him, she couldnt. Her mind was constantly filled with thoughts about him. Chapter 225 - It’s better for us not to meet. It’s the better choice for both you and I. (1) Chapter 225: Its better for us not to meet. Its the better choice for both you and I. (1) After she was done apologizing, Chen Junxing could still see a look of inexplicable sadness on her face. Instantly, he began to reflect. Did he word it too strongly? IActually, I Before Chen Junxing could finish, he saw her raise her head and smiled at him. I know. Youre not him. Ill try not to be distracted again when I see you in the future. Im sorry. Chen Junxings brows raised. He wanted to apologize, but he kept himself from doing so. He really was at a loss seeing her this way. Suddenly, a thought popped up in Chen Junxings mind. After coming to her side, he urged, Quick, change out of your clothes. Im going to take you somewhere. My work isnt done yet! Didnt you finish your performance earlier? He asked with impatience. Chapter By WordExcerpt Xin Siyue explained, I still have a group photo session at the end. Its just one group photo! Ill take one with you later! Hey! Chen Junxing Alright, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and go change! Ill be waiting for you here so chop-chop. Xin Siyue didnt have the time to argue or even any time to refute him before she was pushed into the break room. After changing her clothes and coming back out, Chen Junxing looked at her and smiled. And here I was worried youd coop up in there and wouldnt leave with me! Xin Siyue looked at him and did not respond, but she asked, So where are you bringing me? Youll know once were there. Even though Xin Siyue felt a little suspicious, she still followed him into the car. She couldnt deny it, but it felt like she would only be able to find peace when she was by his side. Almost as if she never left Chen Sinan at all. On the road, Xin Siyue was looking out the window on the passenger side, letting her mind wander. Chen Junxing peeked at her a few times, but he still never got the courage to ask her anything else. Chapter By WordExcerpt As the car pulled up in front of the crowded amusement park, Xin Siyue opened the door and came out. She looked up, but her eyes were not on the setting sun. Instead, her eyes were instantly fixed on the domed design of the building at first glance. This Xin Siyues eyes flickered faintly as she turned to look at Chen Junxing who stood beside her. That man was looking around with amusement in his eyes, asking her, How is it? Pretty good, right! This is the most bustling entertainment zone in all of J City! The number of people who come here each day is always in the tens of thousands. Xin Siyue looked at the building she remembered in her memories but she suddenly slumped down. Crouching on the ground, she began to cry uncontrollably. Seeing this, Chen Junxing was dumbfounded. Hey! Whats wrong with you? I thought you could loosen up if I brought you here and cheer up a little. Why are you crying even worse now?! Xin Siyue raised her head, looking through her vision blurred with her tears this man who was leaning down and showing worry for her. She shook her head. Sorry, Im sorry! What are you apologizing for? Who designed this place? Where is the designer? Please tell me! Chen Junxing, who is the designer? When he saw her like this, Chen Junxing suddenly thought of something. The tension of his face had completely disappeared. He looked at her, and said without any expression, I designed it. He could always answer that question with a radiant smile whenever anyone asked him the same question in the past. But now, he really wished this design that received praises from the entire city was not born from his own hands. This bad feeling was too intense. Sure enough, he heard her sob the very next moment. He designed the very same structure in the past as well. It was right after we married, and only agreed to do it after hearing my wordsChen SinanWhy do you and he have so many But her unfinished words were drowned out by her soft cries Chen Junxing felt helpless as he watched her cry. He was silent for a moment, but in the end, he straightened himself and looked up at his proud work, shaking his head sadly. Why did this happen? Wasnt he just trying to make her feel better? But he didnt expect things to be so counterproductive. The happy fun session he pictured in his mind was a complete failure. Chapter 226 - It’s better for us not to meet. It’s the better choice for both you and I. (2) Chapter 226: Its better for us not to meet. Its the better choice for both you and I. (2) After she was done crying, Chen Junxing sent her to a hotel. After stopping his car, he looked at her red eyes and said, I finally understood tonight. What you said at the start was right. Its better for us not to meet. Its the better choice for both you and I. As soon as they meet, she was bound to think of that man and feel sad. He too would feel bad as well. In this case, why should they continue torturing each other? Xin Siyue, I hope youll be able to let go soon. Chen Junxing told her that solemnly again. Im sorry, and thank you. Xin Siyue said to him with relief, You showed me that there are still people and things connected to him in this world. That alone is enough. Chen Junxing sighed. Then, he watched on as she headed into the hotel. After that, he drove away from that suffocating place. He accelerated his car fiercely, watching car after car pass him by on the road. It felt like something was stuck in his chest! Chen Junxing thought about the whole thing after he returned home, but the more he did, the angrier he felt. After searching on the internet for a long time, he concluded with much certainty that there was no way anyone could build the exact same design as him in this world. Chapter By WordExcerpt That was his own idea and he poured all his own blood and sweat into it. That was his unique design in this entire world. But why would she say that that man had designed it before? Before? Then where was it now? Chen Junxing looked at the screen but he couldnt figure anything out even after a long time. Leaning back on his chair, spinning his reclining office chair every so often, he began to become immersed in his thoughts. As he was deep in thought, his dad that was usually busy during the day and rarely left work early actually came home early today. It was unprecedented. Youre back, dad? Chen Junxing stood up. Father Chen looked at him with a heavy gaze and said to him unhurriedly, I heard you went to watch a performance today and even brought a woman back with you? Chen Junxing smiled and said, Dad, dont tell me youve got your eyes there too? How did come out so quickly? Old Liao called me up to congratulate me on whether Im going to be welcoming a daughter-in-law soon. Did you think I wouldnt know after that? Chapter By WordExcerpt No such thing, dad. Your daughter-in-law hasnt even appeared yet! Father Chen eyed him down and asked again, So, what is your relationship with her? Chen Junxing told him with a serious face, Theres nothing between us. Even his father knew about his firm attitude, and he wasnt sure whether he should be happy or worried to hear him respond so determinedly. He never does this, but for the first time, he said to his son with a voice filled with sincerity, Youre already at that age. If you find yourself a decent girl that you really like, you should bring her back and show her to your mom and me. Chen Junxing didnt know whether he should laugh or cry. When have I ever gotten mixed up with indecent girls? His father glanced at him. You know the history of your own affairs. I dont even know whose genes you inherited. Even though your mother and I are so dedicated to each other Chen Junxing looked at his father who was talking while walking towards the study at the same time, feeling a little helpless. He was clearly very clean and self-respecting, okay?! You need at least a little proof to accuse someone! Seeing that he was left alone in the room again, he thought back to Xin Siyues suppressed pained cry from earlier, and he couldnt help but feel troubled! What kind of man is he that was worth her reacting like that?! Even if he was curious, he didnt have the opportunity to see her after that. For an entire year, even running to several places and staying at his grandmothers place for more than half a month, she never appeared. Chen Junxing didnt feel good about asking his grandmother, worrying that she might overthink things. Moreover, he didnt want to investigate her in private either. If Father Chen finds out, he might also overthink it. Because it hasnt just been a day or two that his elders have been urging him to bring a girlfriend home. When he saw Xin Siyue again, it was on TV. Chapter 227 - : It’s better for us not to meet. It’s the better choice for both you and I. (3) Chapter 227: Its better for us not to meet. Its the better choice for both you and I. (3) She was the dark horse in J Citys Summer Host Selection Competition, stunning everyone with her outstanding looks, unparalleled eloquence, and reflexes, as well as her melodic and moving piano performance. Many people were astonished, and she won as the champion without any suspense. Chen Junxing suddenly went silent as he saw her in her long form-fitting white dress, smiling beautifully on stage as she received her trophy. What did she go through this past year? This person seemed to be her, but also different. Her temperament and her expression, they were different from that girl who would suddenly become sad every so often. Chen Junxing smiled lightly. Has she finally walked out of it? Is she working hard to continue on with her life now? But Chen Junxing wasnt far off from the truth. Ever since leaving J City that time, Xin Siyue spent several days collecting her own emotions. Chapter By WordExcerpt She cant go back anymore, she thought. So, shell work hard to live her life to the fullest. She will show Chen Sinan whos still in that world that even if she has nothing now, shell still work hard to climb up to a position where she will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. She survived through her toughest days this year. Working two to three jobs at the same time, she made use of her dancing and piano playing skills, constantly working to improve her financial situation. She even opened a training center of her own and made a name for herself. She participated in countless talent competitions and won many trophies. A month ago, she quit her job so she could focus on preparing for J Citys Host Selection Competition. Nobody knew how much effort and sweat she poured into each level of the competition, but she earned her coveted entry into the industry. She told herself that anything was possible as long as she had the guts to work for it. On the second day after the competition ended, she was able to start her career officially. So, she called up Mother Xin to share the good news with her. Mother Xin was also overjoyed. Thats good! Thats wonderful! Its great that you won! Yeah, Mom. So I wont be able to return for some time. When I have free time during the weekends, Ill go pick you up. You can come stay with me. Ive already started looking at some homes. This time, Ill get a bigger and more comfortable house. Yes! That would be great! When Xin Siyue heard the soft whimper of a sob in her mothers voice, she couldnt help but say, Why are you crying, Mom? Im just too happy! Im so happy that I have a capable daughter like you! Chapter By WordExcerpt Dont worry, Mom. Ill definitely work even harder so we can have a better life! Thats wonderful! Im really happy to have a daughter like you. You have to take care of yourself out there, dont stay up too late at night and remember to eat your meals on time. I know, Mom. You should take care of yourself too. Alright, I still have some work to attend to so Ill hang up now. Bye Mom. But Xin Siyue had no idea that her mother was still holding her phone after she hung up, tears continuing to fall down her cheeks. It was Xin Siyues fourth day at work today. While she was just about to get off, she was stopped by the program team leader from the same show who informed her of a dinner party they wanted her to attend. Xin Siyue was confused. What kind of dinner party? And why did she have to attend? Just a dinner with some of the chairmen. Its all thanks to their generosity that we can keep the show going, and it just so happens theyre all free today. Theyve already made the arrangements, theyre just waiting for us to head over now. Xin Siyues intuition told her that it wouldnt be easy to weasel out of this one. So, cautiously she asked, Then, will Host Xie and Host Zhang be going together as well? Of course! And well be running late if you keep asking questions! Hurry, pack up your things and lets go. Xin Siyue wanted to excuse herself by saying she had something to do, but that person told her directly, And dont try telling me youre not going. Even if you dont go this time, youll still have to go tomorrow! So hurry up, lets go! When she got on the car, Xin Siyue couldnt stop herself from feeling uncomfortable. When they arrived at the private room, the sight of the chairmen who were all over forty and fifty-years-old made Xin Siyue feel a little disgusted. Looking around, she saw that she was the only young woman in the entire room. When she looked back at the team leader who brought her here, he was toasting everyone with ease. Chapter 228 - It’s better for us not to meet. It’s the better choice for both you and I. (4) Chapter 228: Its better for us not to meet. Its the better choice for both you and I. (4) Oh? This must be the new Miss Xin who joined the station, right? Shes a real pretty one she is! The balding chairman whose name she did not know was holding a glass of wine while he eyed her lustfully, showing the glass into her hands. Xin Siyue accepted the drink awkwardly before distancing herself from him in a casual manner. But in the next second, another chairman leaned in closer and asked with a smile, What brand of perfume is Miss Xin wearing? Even if Xin Siyue was stupid, it was easy to know that she had ventured into the tigers den. She smiled and quietly asked the team leader, Didnt you say that Host Xie and the others will be coming as well? Oh! Theyre still on their way! Xin Siyues face sank. This was definitely a trap. She was just about to get her bag and leave, but before she could get up, her wrist was caught by the balding chairman and was pulled over by a force she could not resist. Falling to his lap, Xin Siyue struggled desperately. Chapter By WordExcerpt Oh! Look at this! The little girly says no, but her body seems to say yes? Lets have a kiss and see how sweet these lips are! Then, there was a crash. While struggling, Xin Siyue managed to grab onto a wine bottle and picked it up, smashing it down on that balding head with all her might! Ah! A ghostly cry rang out. Blood! Theres blood! Quick, call an ambulance! Catch her, dont let her run! But how could Xin Siyue stick around here any longer? After throwing the wine bottle, she immediately ran out. The situation was chaos in the room. It didnt take long after Xin Siyue left to be chased by a large group of men in black suits. Xin Siyue waited for a long time, but the elevator wouldnt come. So, gritting her teeth, she ran for the stairs. Only, she bumped into a man as soon as she turned around the corner of the hallway. As soon as she saw that the men dressed in black were about to catch up to her, she was just about to push him away and run, but her wrist was grabbed firmly and she was pulled into a nearby room. Chapter By WordExcerpt The private room was dimly lit, but Xin Siyue could still faintly make out the outline of the mans face. ChenChen Junxing, why are you here? Chen Junxing motioned for her not to speak. After the urgent clatter from outside the room ceased, he responded, There was a dinner tonight. Xin Siyue also understood that the group must have headed in a different direction. She couldnt help but feel relieved. Thanks. Then, turning around, she listened attentively for any movements outside. Aside from a year or two, everything was quiet. When Chen Junxing saw her reaching for the door, he quickly stopped her. Tell me clearly. What on earth is going on? Xin Siyue took a breath and said, I just fell for a trap. Chen Junxings brows knitted together. And how does that end with you being hunted down with such a large commotion? Xin Siyue responded helplessly to him, I guess they were trying to pull the unspoken rule thing on me but I smashed a wine bottle over his head. If they catch me, Id probably be skinned aliveif I do stay alive. Chen Junxing held his breath, but his face wasnt looking so good. Xin Siyue peered at him. This isnt a big deal, really. At most, I just wont be able to stick around in J City anymore. Not like I still want this job anyway! My win is enough to prove my capabilities. That alone is enough. So youre going to just give up on the job you just got? Xin Siyue responded with scorn, What, and you think Im just going to stick around for them to get rid of me? If I may be so bold, they dont have that right, Chen Junxing! I dont need a job that requires fancy rules to climb to the top. Heh, youre still young to the world. Chen Junxings face dimmed in a rare sight as he stepped over her and opened the door, saying, Ill send you back first. If you ever find yourself in any trouble in J City, just say my name. I cant guarantee how lucky youll be with it, but most people will still show some respect to the Chen family at the very least. Chapter 229 - It turns out that she wasn’t able to protect her last loved one in this world (1) Chapter 229: It turns out that she wasnt able to protect her last loved one in this world (1) Whats the Chen familys deal in J City anyway? Xin Siyue asked this question carefully, worried that he would give the same answer she expected. Fortunately, it wasnt. While bringing her downstairs, he said, Well, its nothing big. We just have some power and some official positions. You know how the rules of the world are. So thats how it is. Xin Siyue smiled. Yeah, money and power are really handy after all. Chen Junxing looked at her and finally said, If you ever need it, Id be very happy if you asked me for help. Thanks. Im sure I will. Chen Junxing smiled. Good. Ill be waiting! Chapter By WordExcerpt After sending her home, Chen Junxing did not leave immediately. He looked up at the lit-up window upstairs while he tapped his slender fingers on the steering wheel. Then, he took his phone out and made a call. Xin Siyue packed her bags that night itself. When she went to work the next morning, she even prepared her resignation letter, waiting to pass it over when her superiors would criticize her behavior later. But unexpectedly, though she was in fact called to the conference room, there were a few familiar faces present besides Director Zhong, one of which was a fat face with bandages wound over his head several times. Xin Siyue had the subconscious idea that they must have come to get her to apologize. But the scene was different. Everyone was all smiles and apologizing to her over and over again. Xin Siyue was mystified. At the very end, Director Zhong also smiled amiably at her, telling her that what happened last night was just a misunderstanding. If she received a shock from it, she could take two days off from work and that things werent very urgent. Xin Siyue was simply dumbfounded. Whats going on?! The balding chairman bent over and apologized over and over again. I was really blind last night, Miss Xin. Im so sorry for rushing into you! Look, this is all just a misunderstanding! If you told me earlier that you were related to the Chen family, then I wouldnt dare to have any ideas even if you lent me some courage! Hmph. You wouldnt dare have any ideas? So are you trying to say that a woman without any money or power is fine then? You really opened my eyes today, Chairman Ai! It was just a misunderstanding, Miss Xin! Xin Siyue sneered. Its no longer important whether its a misunderstanding or not. I think think that this is what J Citys TV station is like. Thank you for teaching me. Director Zhong, here is my resignation letter. I hope you can approve it. Chapter By WordExcerpt Its just a misunderstanding, Host Xin. Your resignationI hope youll reconsider it. Thank you very much, Director Zhong. I have already made my decision. Seeing her resolution, there was nothing he could do but approve of her resignation. Only, after letting her go, Director Zhong made a call to Chen Junxing. Xin Siyue casually packed up her stuff and after returning home, she went to look at a house. She had already contacted the developer and settled the details with them. Even if she lost the job, she could still find a new one in J City as the development prospects in this city was quite promising. After she was done checking out the place and feeling that it was to her satisfaction, she was just about to return home and give Mother Xin a call about the construction and designing of the house to see if she had any opinions before she signed the papers. But unexpectedly, she saw Chen Junxings figure as soon as she went downstairs. He was dressed in a white shirt and black pants, standing next to a silver car while his head was buried in thought. All the passersby secretly took a few glances at him when they walked past but he didnt notice them at all. Chapter 230 - It turns out that she wasn’t able to protect her last loved one in this world (2) Chapter 230: It turns out that she wasnt able to protect her last loved one in this world (2) Xin Siyue suddenly chuckled and walked to him. When he heard the sound of her footsteps, Chen Junxing raised his head to see her gazing at him. Looking at her, Chen Junxing was quiet for a moment. Instead, it was Xin Siyue who broke the silence with a smile. Thank you. Chen Junxing smiled as well. Whatre you thanking me for? I know you were the one who spoke up about it. Otherwise, they wouldnt be groveling and apologizing to me today. Chen Junxing squinted. And youre so convinced I was the one behind it? Chapter By WordExcerpt Xin Siyue smiled. Yeah. Nobody else in this world would do this for me besides you. Chen Junxings eyes flickered and he asked, So, am I considered a special and important existence to you now? Yeah. Xin Siyue nodded. Because you always remind me of him. The corners of Chen Junxings mouth rose and he asked, Are you free? Ill treat you to a meal. A meal? Xin Siyue gave him a puzzling glance. Chen Junxing, May I have this honor? Before Xin Siyue could respond, her phone rang. As Chen Junxing watched her pick up her phone, his expression changed faintly. After the call ended, he quickly asked, What happened? Xin Siyue quickly responded, Im sorry, I wont be able to have lunch with you! I still have some business to attend to. You heading to the airport? Need a ride? Chapter By WordExcerpt Xin Siyue weighed the situation and nodded. It would probably be a waste of time if she was to hail a cab on her own. After going back upstairs and quickly grabbing the documents, she hurriedly booked a ticket back while they were on the road. When Chen Junxing saw how pale her face was and how tense she looked, he tried to comfort her, Calm down. Youll still be stuck on the plane for a couple of hours so theres no use being so anxious now. Xin Siyue sighed. I know, I just cant help it! Why did her mother faint all of a sudden? After parting with her, Chen Junxing said, 157 , thats my number. Feel free to call me if you need any help. Xin Siyue hurriedly thanked him and rushed to board the plane. At the hospital, it wasnt until she heard everything from the doctor that she finally realized how serious her mothers condition was, and she had no idea this was happening at all. Fourth stage stomach cancer. We discovered it too late, so she may not have much time to live even after the operation. After she heard that, Xin Siyue felt as if she had lost her soul. Back in the hospital room, she looked at the aging and emaciated face on the bed and she couldnt help but cry silently. So, it turns out that she wasnt able to protect her last loved one in this world. Xin Siyue signed the consent form for the operation. Even though the operation was a big success, her condition worsened just a few days later, to the point where it was out of control. After checking her condition, the doctor shook his head and told her to prepare herself mentally, and also to prepare the funeral. Xin Siyues eyes were red. Through the door, she looked in tearfully at her family on the bed, fading a little more each day. Mother Xin knew as well that she didnt have long to live. She would always talk to Xin Siyue any time she was sober. Mom felt really lucky in my life too, to have such a filial and capable daughter like you. Mom Chapter 231 - It turns out that she wasn’t able to protect her last loved one in this world (3) Chapter 231: It turns out that she wasnt able to protect her last loved one in this world (3) The only regret I have is that I wasnt able to give you a complete family. When you went away to study after high school, I would always have a sit in your room any time I thought of you. To be honest, I even snooped through your diary. You wrote that you regretted being born into such a family, that you hated him. But, Yueyue. Please dont hate him anymore. For Moms sake, please. He actually does love you as well Mom, stop it Yueyue, if Mom has to leave first in the future, you have to continue your life well. Find a person who is devoted to you, then get married to him, have kids. Live a happy life. Dont worry, mom! Ill be fine! The only thing Im worried is that youll be left all alone after Mom leaves Dont worry, mom. I wont be alone. Ive already found someone I like. Hes a very good person and he treats me very well. You have to get better soon, mom. When hes back, Ill bring him here to see you, okay? Yes! Yes! Thats wonderful! Chapter By WordExcerpt Her illness dragged on for half a month, but they still failed to rescue her from deaths hands. Dawn had just come when Xin Siyues mom departed. Through her tears, she gave her final goodbyes. It was the day after when Chen Junxing found out what happened. When he rushed to the hospital that afternoon, he saw her sitting in the hallway right outside the ward, her face lifeless. He paused in his steps. Coming to her side, he sat down. If you want to cry, just cry it out. Xin Siyue shook her head. No. Ive already cried enough since I came back. I want my mom to see me happy. Only then will she be able to leave in peace. Chen Junxing looked pained at her. He wanted to reach out and hold her, but after his hand hovered in mid-air, he still decided to retract it and just sat quietly beside her. The funeral was mostly organized with Chen Junxings help. When she stood in front of the grave that day, Xin Siyue who had long cried her tears dry stood under the blazing sun. Even when she had gotten dizzy from heatstroke, she was still unwilling to leave. Chapter By WordExcerpt She looked at the familiar photograph and forced out a smile. Mom, you can get rid of your unfortunate fate in this life and move on to a better one. Thats good. Fina a happy family with someone who will offer you all their heart and soul. Unlike this one Yueyue, Papa came to see your mother. The sudden voice of a man caused Xin Siyue to drown. She turned around to see a man in a black suit and she scoffed, Who are you? Youre not welcome here! Yueyue, are you still angry with Papa? Please, my father has already departed several years ago! The man still wanted to continue, but Xin Siyue said before him, Hmph. For someone like you to still be able to live such a glorious life. Heaven really is blind! Xin Siyue! Dont call my name! Youre not worthy to! After that, Xin Siyue looked at Chen Junxing who had been silent at the side and said weakly to him, Can you give me a ride? Yeah. Chen Junxing nodded. Before leaving, he took one more glance at the man. So Xin Siyue and her father had such an explosive relationship? In the car, even if her head was hurting badly, she closed her eyes and said to Chen Junxing, Indeed, we dont have a good relationship. You saw it yourself. I never admitted my relationship with him. Sometimes, I even wished he would die. I never thought that things would go so against my wishes. To think a shameless person like him can still live such a good life! Chen Junxing kept silent. Xin Siyue continued, I hate men who cheat on their wives the most. And thats not enough for him, he even abandoned his wife! I cant take it anymore! Im so sorry Im letting this out on you, Chen Junxing. No, its alright. Youre just allowing me a chance to know you better. Just sleep if youre tired. Ill wake you up when were there. Okay. Chapter 232 - Xin Siyue, are you sure you’re living in reality?” (1) Chapter 232: Xin Siyue, are you sure youre living in reality? (1) After the funeral was over, Chen Junxing asked her about her plans after this. When Xin Siyue thought back to the phone calls asking her about her considerations on the house and when she was going to complete the formalities. So, she said, Im going back to J City. Hearing that, Chen Junxing looked at her with a meaningful glance. Of course, there was no way Xin Siyue would not realize that he was no longer treating her as just a normal friend. So, she explained, Theres no reason for it, I just picked out a house last time that Im planning to settle down in. So Ill probably head back there and develop my career. Chen Junxing smiled. The developments in J City has been going well these years. My house is there too. Oh. Mhm, youre welcome to visit. Chapter By WordExcerpt Thank you. Chen Junxing had originally planned to book her plane ticket together with his, but Xin Siyue felt that she would be more comfortable going back alone, so she politely declined. Chen Junxing seemed to have understood something from her rejection. In a gentlemanly manner, he said to her, Take care. When you arrive, just give me a call if you need any help. Thanks. Even though Xin Siyue thanked him, she had never given him her phone number. Chen Junxing seemed to have disappeared as well and never took the initiative to contact her. After arriving in J City and completing the formalities for her house, Xin Siyue began job hunting. She was quite successful in that venture, and she was hired a few days later by a magazine publisher as a reporter, and Xin Siyue was also brave enough to try a new career. Even though there was a lot of work, Xin Siyues abilities were great all-round, so she was able to adapt very quickly to it. The next time she saw Chen Junxing was in a famous restaurant in J City. That evening, the editor-in-chief of the publishing house was treating everyone for dinner. When Xin Siyue was waiting at the hall to leave with one of her colleagues, she unexpectedly bumped into Chen Junxing who just happened to be leaving after dinner as well. Chen Junxing whispered a few words to the two older chairmen in suits who were with him and they said goodbye to him with a smile. When Xin Siyue saw him walking towards her, she subconsciously turned to look at her colleagues who were happily chattering away just a short distance away. As expected, he who carried an eye-catching aura of his own like Chen Sinan attracted many speculations and curious gazes around him before he even approached Xin Siyue. Chapter By WordExcerpt On the other hand, Chen Junxing acted completely naturally as he stood openly in front of her and asked, Out with your colleagues today? Xin Siyue didnt really dare to look at him just in case her colleagues were to try and pry some gossip out of her afterwards, so she just nodded. Yeah, we were just about to go. Oh. I had a bit to drink tonight, Chen Junxing suddenly said to her. Hm? I couldnt refuse them earlier so I had a bit too much. Xin Siyue suddenly had the illusion that he was Chen Sinan. They were too alike, really much too alike. So? She asked, unsure. The alcohol level was a bit high, so I cant drive. After saying that, Chen Sinan added a question, Can you drive? Xin Siyue nodded. Then, she looked up to see him happily tossing a set of keys at her. Xin Siyue didnt see it, but she still caught it out of reflex. By the time the keys were laying quietly on her palm, she was stunned. She asked, Whats this for? Drive me home. Xin Siyue was speechless. You want me to drive you home? Chapter 233 - Xin Siyue, are you sure you’re living in reality?” (2) Chapter 233: Xin Siyue, are you sure youre living in reality? (2) Chen Junxing nodded. Yeah. Didnt you say you knew how to drive? Isnt that great, then? Its always better to have someone I know drive me home than a stranger. Thats too troublesome. You should find another driver. Xin Siyue, I helped you out so much and you cant even grant me this small request? Xin Siyue sighed. Sure enough, its best not to owe anyone any favors, because itll always be troublesome to pay them back. Alright then, lets go. Ill drive. Seeing her compromise, Chen Junxing smiled in satisfaction. Seeing that he was leaving first and waiting for her outside, Xin Siyue went over to her colleagues to tell them she needed to leave first to handle some matters. Chapter By WordExcerpt Her colleagues probed, Is that your boyfriend, Siyue? No, were just regular friends. A regular friend wont just hand over their car keys so easily to you, would they? Xin Siyue responded, He had some alcohol so Im just helping him drive. I dont believe it! Me neither! Xin Siyue smiled, Cant help it if you dont believe me. He helped me a lot in the past so Im just returning the favor. Xin Siyue left through the door under the cheering of the crowd to see Chen Junxing waiting outside for her. When she saw him smiling at her, she couldnt help but turn her gaze away. Wheres your car? Lets go. Sure. Chen Junxing shook his head with a grin still on his face. He put his hands into his pocket and followed behind her. Chapter By WordExcerpt On the way back, Xin Siyue saw him sitting in the passenger side with his eyes closed, as if he was really enjoying himself. When they stopped at a red light, she thought about it for a moment before asking, Do you need some water? No. Alright. Chen Junxing opened his dazzling eyes that sparkled like the stars in the night sky and looked at her, seemingly wishing to speak, but stopping. The green light came on. Xin Siyue didnt pay much attention to the unspoken feelings inside of his eyes. She just kept her eyes forward and drove silently. When they arrived at their destination, Xin Siyue looked at the huge villa and deliberated for a moment. In the end, she still decided to wake up the person beside her who could just be taking a nap but could also be deep asleep. Chen Junxing, weve arrived. Then, she was quiet for a few moments. Seeing no response from him, she called out to him again. Chen Junxing? Chen So his name is Chen Sinan? What? Chen Junxing slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, saying, Can you tell me about you and him? That voice was very light. If it wasnt for the fact that it was late at night and the world was quiet around them, and that the two of them were so close together in the limited space of this car, then Xin Siyue would not have heard that light, inexpressible pain in his voice that was as light as a feather. Chen Junxing Hes identical to me in appearance, has similar interests, and even our personality is almost the same, right? You Youve known each other since college. You liked him and found the courage to pursue him. Since you couldnt get him, you began to avoid him. Then, he fell in love with you for real, and you had to be separated from him for more than two years for your own work. In the end, he saved you without regard for his own life and you realized youd been in love with him all along. The two of you got to know each other, fell in love with each other, and then you shared a good life together after marriage. You even had a child He kept saying everything out calmly. Xin Siyue interrupted him with a trembling voice. YouHow did you know? Chapter 234 - Xin Siyue, are you sure you’re living in reality?” (3) Chapter 234: Xin Siyue, are you sure youre living in reality? (3) Chen Junxing turned his gaze outside the window and continued, Xin Siyue, are you sure youre living in reality? Whatdo you mean? That book. I have it. What?! Xin Siyue immediately jumped in her seat and looked at him in disbelief. I thought about it, and I guess Aunt Huang must have put the book in my room while cleaning up since she figured my granny was too old for reading, and that it must have been mine. I didnt pay any attention to it when I came back since I was in a hurry to pack my luggage. So, I brought it back to J City along with the rest of my books. Xin Siyues hand that was clenched on her seatbelt was trembling. WhyWhy are you telling me this today? I didnt realize until I came back after everything with your mother was settled. Chapter By WordExcerpt Chen Junxing! I want to see that book! Chen Junxing looked at her with a heavy look. After taking her inside, he brought her to the study and pointed to the book Xin Siyue had dreamt so long to find, saying calmly, Its on the table. Help yourself. Ill go down to get a glass of water. Thanks. Xin Siyues complexion changed slightly, her eyes locked onto the table. With every step she took towards the table, she felt her heartbeat growing quicker. After Chen Junxing went out of the study and was about to shut the door behind him, he looked still at that tall and slender body for a moment before finally shutting the door. He made a bet. If fate willed them to meet, and she agreed to come back with him, he would tell her the truth. So, when he bumped into her at the restaurant, his first reaction was surprise. And after that, there was endless worry. He asked her to drive him home. She agreed. So, he lost. he was reluctant to say anything on the way back, even if the chance for them to spend time together was hard to come by. Chapter By WordExcerpt But as soon as he thought about the distance that would inevitably be wedged between them after she finished that book, he couldnt let go. But then, he told himself again that he never had her to begin with. All their closeness, their ability to talk about anything with each other, they were all just illusions in the end. How could her feelings for Chen Sinan compare to his own? Chen Junxing who was thinking all this to himself and suddenly paused on the steps. He said to himself, You deserve this, Chen Junxing! Naturally, Xin Siyue was unaware of the complex activity going on inside his mind. She sat down and flipped open the book, page after page as the familiar memories immediately began flooding back. At around 200,000 words, the book wasnt too long, but she read it very seriously for three hours. The strange thing is, Chen Junxing never came up to disturb her after heading downstairs. She held her breath every time she flipped the pages. The first part of the developments in the book was the same. They mainly wrote about Sheng Wenyang and Chen Sinans meeting, and their heartfelt affections. But after Xin Siyue was accidentally pushed down the stairs by Shi Shi and hit her head, the plot began to change. The core of the female supporting character, Xin Siyue, changed. She began to changeEverything felt like dj vu. Everything was just as she experienced it. She and Chen Sinan, and all the hiding and the stumbling they encountered along the way. He had given her so much. He loved her so much that he could give his life for her. He was devoted to her from start to end, until his death. But now, he was in that world alone, watching over their child by himself, waiting bitterly for the day where she could wake up. Xin Siyue was deep asleep while her child bawled. None of Chen Sinans sweet words he gave her when he waited by her beside each day could wake her. But no matter how often people try to persuade him, he never stopped believing that she would one day wake up. The sun rose, and set, year after year Chapter 235 - But what about me? Did you never realize that I was waiting for you too? (1) Chapter 235: But what about me? Did you never realize that I was waiting for you too? (1) Time passed unnoticed. The large living room was quiet without a single noise, with only Chen Junxing sitting on the grey sofa with his arms folded over his chest. The warm water in the two glasses on the table had long since cooled. He sat there with his eyes unfocused, not looking at anything in particular. After a long time, he looked up towards the direction of the study. The door was still closed. She was still inside. A faint smile slowly emerged on his lips. Was she feeling nostalgic? Or perhaps, was she mourning her long lost feelings and lover? Xin Siyue wiped away her tears that had been flowing for a long time in the study. After closing the book, she saw a letter clasped between the last two pages. It wrote: To Chen Junxing. Her face was blank for a long time. Finally, she picked up both the book and the letter and went downstairs. Chapter By WordExcerpt The living room was brightly lit. Sitting on the sofa, she couldnt tell what Chen Junxing was thinking about. Xin Siyue walked up to him and handed him the letter. With her voice still hoarse from crying, she said, Its yours. Hearing that, Chen Junxing looked up. First, his attention was drawn by her red and swollen eyes. You cried again? Xin Siyue saw how seriously he was observing her and turned her head away awkwardly. But seeing that he continued to stare at her, she said honestly, I just couldnt help myself for a bit. The corners of Chen Junxings mouth twitched a little. He didnt know how to respond to her so he asked instead, Is this from you? No. Its from the books author. I was asking your grandmother about her when we first met. Chen Junxing looked at the letter but he didnt seem to have any intentions of picking it up. Xin Siyue said, I think you should look at it. Chen Junxing accepted the letter. After shooting her a meaningful glance, he opened it. Words poured out over the faintly yellowed paper. Chapter By WordExcerpt Xin Siyue could only see the title at the beginning. That person wrote: To the one and only person Ive had a secret crush on, Chen Junxing Chen Junxings eyes dimmed after he saw the first line. To the one and only person Ive had a secret crush on, Chen Junxing: Hello. I know you dont even know my name, and Im not going to tell you my name here. Its enough for me that you know that there was once a very timid girl who once loved you. The first time I saw you, it was an evening with pouring rain. After the heavy downpour all afternoon, the color of the sky was terrible. I knew there would be few people outside at this time, so I found the courage to go to the supermarket before it was dark. After paying, I turned around and was instantly greeted by the sight of you who had come in to buy an umbrella. When I saw your handsome face, I forgot to react for a moment, but you didnt even seem to notice my presence. I know Ive always had a weak presence, and Ive always been very inconspicuous. I bought too much and the bag couldnt bear the weight and broke. When everything fell to the floor, you leaned over and helped me pick my things up. With blushing cheeks, I said thank you to you expectantly, and I still remember the youre welcome you told me back then. That was the best sounding voice Ive ever heard. Chen Junxing, I fell in love with you at first sight. But I have nothing to offer you, Im not good enough for you. After a few days, I saw you taking a walk with your grandmother early in the morning. I kept my head down and we brushed past each other. In that instant, I could feel my heart beating loud. Chapter 236 - But what about me? Did you never realize that I was waiting for you too? (2) Chapter 236: But what about me? Did you never realize that I was waiting for you too? (2) Chen Junxing, you gave me the feeling of love. I was scared of seeing you, but I also looked forward to seeing you every day. One time, I secretly listened in on an old person who was gossipping about you in the neighborhood. They said you were from a rich family, that your father was in a high position, also that you had been excellent since you were a young boy. They said you had a successful career despite your young age and a resounding reputation. Chen Junxing, I felt so inferior at that moment. You see, the person I chose to love was so outstanding! I had such good judgment! But I felt deeply inferior. How could I be with you if you were so outstanding? Chapter By WordExcerpt I didnt even have the courage to talk to you. Chen Junxing, Ive already gotten used to seeing you walk past me from afar through my window. Even if I would never be able to stand openly in front of you and confess my feelings. At the very least, I want you to know that somebody in this world loved you in the past. My beloved Chen Junxing, thank you for appearing in my life. For me to fall in love with a man like you in my life was enough for me. I wish you happiness. The me who loves you. Xin Siyue kept observing the expression on his face, trying to discern a hint of his emotions from the subtle changes in his expression. But after reading the letter, Chen Junxing put it back down on the table and asked her, Where did it come from? Xin Siyue pointed to the book on the table beside him. The last two pages of the book were stuck together, and that letter was hidden inside. Chapter By WordExcerpt So, this letter was written by the person who gave my grandmother this book? Xin Siyue said, The person who gave you the book is also the person who wrote the book. Chen Junxing was silent for a moment. He asked, You know each other? Xin Siyue shook her head at first, but then she nodded. So, was the Xin Siyue in the book based on you? Chen Junxing asked. Xin Siyue smiled bitterly. She hated me so much that she wrote me into the book as well. But she loved you, and it was because of that love for you that Chen Sinan was born. ThatChen SinanDid he really exist? Hes always been there. Chen Junxing looked at her. So, what do you plan to do after seeing this book? I want to go back to him. Thats just a fantasy world created by someone. Even if you know its not real, would you still want to do that? I knew it was the world inside of the book. Ive known from the very start. But Im still so in love with Chen Sinan. I love him, and we have a child together that Id only been able to see once in my life. I have to go back since both he and my child are waiting for me. Go back? How are you going to achieve that? I dont know! But Ill find a way. If I can get in once, Ill definitely be able to find a way to get in again. What way? I have to die. When he heard her announce that so calmly, he instantly said, Are you crazy?! Chapter 237 - But what about me? Did you never realize that I was waiting for you too? (3) Chapter 237: But what about me? Did you never realize that I was waiting for you too? (3) I wish I was. But Im clearly so sober. Chen Junxing, this book wasnt the book I read in the beginning. I have no idea how she could know all the changes that happened after my transmigration and even written it down. I also have no idea whether I went in after she had finished writing the book and giving it to your grandmother. Maybe she was able to travel back and forth between the two worlds before she died, but the book always existed. At the very least, it proves that everything I went through was real. Even if that was in an unknown world. While speaking, Xin Siyue looked straight at him. I want to thank you for telling me about the existence of this book tonight. Thank you for letting me find out that I still have people who love me who are waiting for me to return. Chen Junxing didnt say anything for a long time. Xin Siyue could feel how down his mood was. After a long moment of silence, he asked, What about me, then? You discovered that there are people who love you waiting for you in that world. But what about me? Did you never realize that I was waiting for you too? What? Chapter By WordExcerpt I dont want you to go back to him. If you have to use an extreme method like death, then Ill stop you. Xin Siyue, are you sure that the person who created this world is dead and that that world still exists? To put it simply, are you sure youll be able to see Chen Sinan and your child if you die? When he saw that she wanted to refute him, he went on, Dont do anything stupid and stop thinking about those ridiculous things. Cant you just continue on with your life happily? Even if itsfor me. Huh? The moment Xin Siyue raised her head to look at him, her brows were knitted in a frown. Youre a very special person to me. So, will you stay for me? But Chen Junxing had no idea that he would never get the chance to say those words he was unable to say to her again. Xin Siyues two words of sorry and thank you were enough to stop his unspoken words of confession in its tracks. Chen Junxing couldnt even remember what she said in the end. All he knew that when she left, she asked him, Can I take this book? Even if he was reluctant, he still nodded when he saw her earnest gaze. Chapter By WordExcerpt Then, she thanked him and left with the book. Half a month later, he finally learned that she went to do an on-the-spot interview for a small town where a magnitude 8 earthquake had occurred. Nobody in the publishing house was willing to take the job, so she volunteered to go. Only, everyone was busy trying to save the victims after the disaster. Unexpectedly, the aftershocks came in, killing and injuring countless people. Chen Junxing watched the news reports silently. He could see that everything was in ruins in the disaster area, and he saw all the injured citizens, and also the people who were crying as they sent away their loved ones. Then, the familiar name Xin Siyue appeared on the list of victims. His eyes gradually turned red, tears slowly flowing down from them. He sought help from all his contracts in hope of getting the chance to head to the disaster area himself despite Father Chens firm opposition. But when he saw the scene with his own eyesall his tiny hopes were shattered. She was dead. When she died, she still held that book tightly in her hands, and that book was covered in her blood. But her expression looked so serene. When Chen Junxing cremated her with the book, he looked at the gray sky and thought to himself: did she return to that persons side as she had wished? Maybe hell never find the answer. All he knew was that for the first time, he had someone he wanted to stay with, and she was gone. Forever, never to return. Chapter 238 - : How long, how many years would it take to forget a person? Chapter 238: How long, how many years would it take to forget a person? All the friends who Chen Junxing had come in contact with said that something wasnt too right with him these days, and those problems were reflected in his mood. It seemed that Chen Junxing who had always been very good with his work was getting more and more irritable recently. Thats right, Chen Junxing himself also felt strangely irritated. It was that kind of irritability that you would never get rid of without getting a holiday to calm yourself down. He had been working on a design for a full month without any developments. The scrapped sketches were piling up like a mountain. Chen Junxing was even at the point of wanting to use cigarettes and alcohol to ease the irritability he could not get rid of. He was so troubled that his designing wouldnt go smoothly. Chen Junxing gulped down a mouthful of wine and said to his childhood friend, Liu Ying, Do you think my well is finally running dry? All his old inspirations that made him proud seemed to have disappeared in a flash. Now, he doubted himself with every single stroke, and the half-ruined products that came out were hardly worth his time. Chapter By WordExcerpt It was annoying, and it bothered him. Liu Ying nearly spat out his wine. He wiped his mouth and said, Hey man, cut the rest of the world some slack. If a divine being like you has a dried-up well then what about everyone else? Do they not need to live then? Chen Junxing sighed and did not answer. After observing his expression, Liu Ying said, If you ask me, I think its cause youre being too demanding of this project. Thats why youre looking down on your own work. Hmph. Its a pity I dont even have a full draft for my design. Liu Ying saw how gloomy he was, he widened his eyes a bit and pretended to ask casually, Hey, great prince Chen, its rare for you to be so bothered about something. Youre not nursing a broken heart, are you? Why would I But half way through trying to refute, Chen Junxing suddenly stopped. Liu Ying grinned. Look! I thought it was weird the last time you called me! A woman who can trouble you so much, and now shes stolen your soul too! Quickly tell me, who is it? I heard from someone that shes a dancer. Couldnt be that one, right? Heard shes quite pretty too Shes dead. Chen Junxing suddenly said while seeing him happily chattering away beside him. Liu Ying couldnt react to it for a moment. What? Chapter By WordExcerpt Shes dead. He calmly repeated himself. But he himself knew that his heart hollowed out when he told him that cruel reality. His eyes felt hot and there was almost a choking sensation bubbling up inside his throat. Shes dead. Yeah. She died. He wanted to get her to stay, but before he could do anything, she was gone. Liu Ying saw how off he looked and pushed him. Hey, youre joking, right? Chen Junxing smiled bitterly. I really wish I was. Liu Ying didnt know what to say anymore. How could it beso sudden? Chen Junxing said, Maybe its just fate. Liu Ying finally understood that Chen Junxing must miss her very much. Look at you, dont be so sad. Whats gone is gone, but you still have to go on! I know. You should take a vacation. Im sure youll forget it with time. Chen Junxing smiled but did not comment. How long, how many years would it take to forget a person? She left so freely, so unencumbered, so what was he to do? He just hated that he didnt confess sooner! Maybe if he did, then she might never think about going back to that place. Maybe if he did, shed call and tell him before she left, and naturally he wouldve stopped her. He wouldnt have let her go. If he confessed, then she could be alive right now. Chen Junxing thought that as long as someone was alive, it didnt matter even if they were thinking of someone else, because he would still protect her. But she wouldnt even give him that chance. The person he once loved would never appear before him again in this lifetime. He tried to ease his sorrows with alcohol, but that only made things worse. After going back, he looked at his dark and empty room. He turned on the lights and then the TV. There, a beautiful woman danced concentratedly on the large LCD screen. Each one of her sweet smiles seemed to dissolve into tears in his drunken daze. She was a person full of resilience and perseverance. Even if she was tired, even if she cried, she would still rather carry her burdens all by herself. Even if he wanted to help her she would never take the initiative to hold out her hand. Chen Junxing felt that he was a disappointment. He had never experienced this in his entire life. Perhaps he was wrong to have been so self-confident in his feelings. Love wasnt something you could get just by waiting. If you loved someone, you had to work to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, the chance will never come again. He had lost her. And she would never come back. Xin Siyue, I wish you happiness as well. To you who gave me all these feelings, I hope you can find him. As for me, Ill continue my life in this world, going back to the old days until the person whos fated for me appears. And when she shows up, shell help me forget about all the pain and sadness youve caused me. Chapter 239 - I’m waiting for you to wake up. (1) Chapter 239: Im waiting for you to wake up. (1) Things dont always go perfectly. But Chen Sinan did not understand. why would another disaster happen as soon as he welcomed his long-awaited baby son into the world? His beloved fell into a long sleep ever since the baby was born for no reason at all. None of the doctors could find a cause. A few days later, they all collectively gave him the same news: she was dead. No! Shes not dead! How could she be dead?! Chen Sinan had no idea how he should respond to such a ridiculous statement at the time. He just remembered Xin Qiancheng telling him afterwards that he was like a feral lion, thrashing the entire ward if any doctor so much as dared to say anything bad about his wife. So be it then. His wife didnt need to stay here anyway, he thought. Who were these quacks to tell him that she was dead! She was clearly still alive! Shes just asleep! He could hear her weak breaths! She wasnt dead at all! Look! Shes still breathing! No matter how light it was, he could feel her feeble breathing as he watched over her at night! And that was enough! As long as she still had a hint of breath left in her, he definitely wont let anything happen to her! Chen Sinan transferred her to a new hospital, and this one had a very nice environment. However, the doctors couldnt find the cause for her coma either, but they wouldnt use the word death to describe her. They just said they will try their best to save her. But as for how large that possibility was, Chen Sinan himself was not sure. But all he had to do was have hope and to work hard! She was his beloved, how could she leave him and his son behind without so much as a word?! Speaking of their son, he was very cute. The baby had her eyes and nose, but the rest of his features were almost like an exact replica of him. Everyone said the boy looked just like him. But when he was holding his son and looking at his big black eyes, all he could think about was Xin Siyue. It would be wonderful if she could wake up and hold her child. It would be wonderful if she could wake up and argue with him about who the child resembled more! Then he would surely coax her and say that the baby looked like her. But he knew that she would definitely say the baby looked like him because he knew that shed always hoped for the child to resemble him more. She achieved everything she wanted, but how could she be so cruel as to leave such a small child alone?! In the first dozen days the baby was born, it would always wail loudly at night. Neither Baining nor Weng Yinlin could coax him. That voice was loud and clear and the babys face that was red from its crying made everyone worry. As soon as Chen Sinan held him in his arms and coaxed him, he miraculously stopped crying. The elders all say it was because of their kinship. The baby must have realized that something has happened to his mother and became insecure. Thats why the baby would cry all night, unable to calm down without Chen Sinan by his side. So, in less than half a month, Chen Sinan who had to watch over his wife and take care of his child lost a lot of weight. He had no energy left to take care of work, but fortunately, Mao Shiyuan was there in the subsidiary company and Chen An was also there to help in the Chen Group, so everything was going smoothly. Chapter 240 - I’m waiting for you to wake up. (2) Chapter 240: Im waiting for you to wake up. (2) Each day felt like years as Chen Sinan waited for Xin Siyue to wake up, but her eyes were always closed as she remained deep asleep. He wondered, is the reason why the doctors were never able to find the cause related to that world? Did she return? She went back to her own world after she completed her mission here, didnt she? The person he loved so deeply went back to the world she belonged and wasnt going to come back, right? Even if that were true, how could he just sit and do nothing, allowing their family of three to live such an unhappy life? Xin Siyue, no matter what method I use, Ill wake you up. Chen Sinan began to look high and low for famous doctors. After seeing two or three of them, he was once again discouraged when they shrugged. When Xin Qiancheng came over to the hospital and saw him holding the sleeping child in his arms, he looked heavy-faced at Xin Siyue who was still unmoving on the bed, unsure what to do. Xin Qiancheng was silent for a moment before he reminded him, The child is asleep. Chen Sinan and Xin Siyues child hadnt been given a name yet. Chen Sinan said, I told her I would leave the naming of the baby to her, but she hasnt given the baby a name yet, so she definitely wont leave! Shell wake up! But everyone looked at each other, choosing to remain silent. So, to this day, the child still bears no name. Xin Qiancheng looked at his facial hair that he hadnt taken care of for a few days and said, You should put the child down and clean yourself up as well. No need. Xin Qiancheng sighed. He resisted the urge to swing his fist and went on, Didnt you say shes just sleeping?! Are you going to let her wake up to see you like this?! Chen Sinan looked quietly at him for a moment, and he suddenly scoffed, I dont even know if shell ever wake up! Tell me, do you think shell wake up?! Xin Qiancheng did not respond, but his complexion was bad. Chen Sinan laughed. I didnt think youd be unsure as well, how rare. But I still believe that she can wake up! Isnt he the male lead?! Shouldnt he be happy with her until the end?! Thats right! Shi Shi! Chen Sinan quickly turned around and put the child down lightly and covering him up with a blanket before saying to Chen Qiancheng, Help me look after him for now. Ill be back after going out for a bit. Where are you going?! Before he could even finish speaking, Chen Sinan had already disappeared. When Shi Shi saw him, she wasnt surprised in the slightest. She raised her chin and laughed proudly at him. So, youre here to see me, Chen Sinan? Xin Siyues baby is born? Is this your doing? Shi Shi shook her head. What could I do in jail? Then what happened to her? Nothing! Shi Shi said casually to him. Isnt she just asleep? Chen Sinan, go back and save her with your sons blood. That might work. Only, she would probably hate you when she woke up, wouldnt she? Haha, Chen Sinan, if I cant be happy, then I wont let her be happy either. This is the ending I created from sacrificing my own life and my blood. How could I give Xin Siyue an easy time? Hahaha Chen Sinan glared at her. But Shi Shi was proud of herself. So, how about it? Have you decided? Chen Sinan, if you dont seize this opportunity, then you wont get another chance in the future. Xin Siyue will never return to you! Youll be left to die alone! Chapter 241 - Together with their son, they’ll wait for her to return. (1) Chapter 241: Together with their son, theyll wait for her to return. (1) Xin Siyue will never return to you! Youll be left to die by yourself! Shi Shis words echoed in his ears over and over again. Die alone? Even if she never woke up, hell still always stay by her side, watching over her. Chen Sinan opened his eyes and saw that pale, nearly bloodless face under the dim lights and reached out to stroke her cheek. Softly, he called out, Honey, wake up! Please, wake up! If this went on, then he was afraid he wouldnt be able to hold on and surrendered first. His days in the hospital were extremely lonely and unbearable. Chen Sinan hadnt returned to the home that belonged only to him and Xin Siyue for a very long time. Ont his day, when Weng Yinlin came over early in the morning, she brought him a letter. Chen Sinan looked at the letter and asked before taking it, Whats this, Mom? I found this letter on the dresser in your bedroom when I went over to your room to pack up some things to bring over for Siyue. Chen Sinan seemed to have realized something and reached out to take it, immediately unwrapping it frantically. Indeed, the writing inside belonged to her! It wrote: Chen Sinan, if youre reading this letter, then Im sure you must be very sad at this moment. Ive been worrying a lot ever since I was pregnant with our baby, because I had a feeling that I would have to leave you when this baby was born. Chen Sinan, I cant let you go. I dont think I would have found happiness if I hadnt met you. Thanks to you, I experienced all this love and warmth. If Im really gone, I hope you wont forget me. Raise our child. If you find someone else you like, please ask her to treat our child well too. Chen Sinan, if you really do want to forget me, then just forget about me. If forgetting me makes things easier for you, then just forget me. Living alone in your memories is much too bitter. I feel regretful that Ill never have the chance to be by the childs side as they grew up. I think Ill miss them a lot, and Ill probably dream of his upbringing inside my mind. Chen Sinan, I think the child will be able to keep you company at the very least in the future. So let the child replace me. Let the child go through these days with you without me. Also, when you left the name of the child to me, I thought about it for a long time. If its a boy, then his name will be Chen Chenan. If its a girl, then she will be Chen Chenning. What do you think? I just want our child to grow up healthy and peacefully. Chen Sinan, please take good care of our child. I love you. Chen Chenan read the letter over and over, countless times. Tears flowed down his eyes and he raised his head, closing his eyes. He loves her too. Hell wait for her return. Together with their son, theyll wait for her to return. Seeing this, Weng Yinlin who was standing at the side patted him on the shoulder. Siyue has actually been by our side the whole time. Even if she never woke up, you still have to take care of yourself or shell be sad. I know, Mom. Then, he continued, The childs name will be Chen ChenanMom. Ill call Dad and Grandpa to talk to them about this. Alright. So, three weeks after the birth of the Chen familys youngest member, the child finally received his nameChen Chenan, nickname Anan. Chapter 242 - Together with their son, they’ll wait for her to return. (2) Chapter 242: Together with their son, theyll wait for her to return. (2) Anan had been clinging to Chen Sinan since he was very young. No matter whether he was drinking his milk or sleeping, he would cry as long as Chen Sinan wasnt the one helping him with his needs. But if Chen Sinan were to walk over while he was crying and reach out to hold him, he wouldnt even need to say anything. Just one look and the baby will stop immediately. He would even wave his small little hands, smiling happily. The elders said that this child was very smart. He was able to recognize faces already at such a young age. Chen Sinan thought so as well. How could their child not be smart? On the day the child reached one month old, Shi Shi died in prison. The cause of death was suicide. When Chen Sinans friend told him the news, Chen Sinan was silent. How could she choose to end her life at this time? I seriously dont get it. But Chen Sinan didnt tell him that she must have wanted to leave this false world since her wish had come true anyway. Xin Siyue wont ever wake up again. But Shi Shi was dead. And the world continued running as usual. Their days still had to go on. Chen Sinan seemed to have gotten used to his life of watching over Xin Siyue while raising their child. He accepted the fact that he had no idea when he was going to wake up and began slowly reverting back to his old self. During the day, he donned a suit and went to work. At night, he would accompany her and the child. Chen Chenan really was a smart child. He learned much faster than any other kid. But of course, he was also very naughty. Ever since learning to turn over, it would spend the whole night awake, tossing and turning in his own crib, having the time of his life. During the three months that Xin Siyue was asleep, she never went a day without visitors. Mao Shiyuan watched with his own eyes how Chen Sinan thinned with each day. He hoped every single time that he came to the hospital that the lifeless Xin Siyue could sit up to scold him. At the very least, it was better than nothing. But there was much he wanted to say to Chen Sinan. But when he saw him, he didnt know where to start. Should he persuade him to stop waiting for her? Thats too cruel. Should he tell him to leave his days well? Too weak. Mao Shiyuan believed that the only thing he could contribute was to support him silently at the side. Zhuang Zhe visited the hospital often as well. Only, he had also been getting a little anxious lately. One time after he finished playing with Chen Chenan, he said to Chen Sinan with a smile, Your son is a delight, makes me want a baby of my own! Only, I wonder where the mother of the child is? Were truly brothers in pain arent we, Chen Sinan? Zhong Qin and Gu Tong who was just about to enter the room looked at each other for a moment, but neither of them said anything. THeir own best friend had mysteriously fallen into a coma. From being unable to accept this fact, they had now given up hope. By now, hope had become a faraway thing. Whether or not Xin Siyue would be able to wake up, they no longer knew. They figured that if she didnt wake up, then they would run out of strength and courage to hold on. Only Chen Sinan always believed that she would definitely wake up. On this weekend, he filled up a basin of warm water to help her wipe her face and hands. The sun was glowing brightly. As Chen Sinan wiped her fingers skillfully, he said, The weather is wonderful today. Mom brought Anan back home to see Grandpa. It feels really quiet without him around. It would be nice if you could talk to me at a time like this. Honey, I know youll wake up so Ill keep waiting. Ill wait for the day you wake up again. Chen Sinan continued to tell her many things. By the time he was done and went up to pour out the water, he did not realize that as the winds blew the curtains over the bed, the fingers of the person who had been lying quietly on the bed moved ever so slightly. Chapter 246 - Second update. (1) Chapter 246: Second update. (1) Xin Siyue rested a few days at the hospital. After the checks came out clear and she had no other issues, she was discharged. A vast entourage came to pick her up from the hospital. Even Chen Chenan who was only a few months old realized that something good had happened. When Bai Ning held him, he waved his hands more joyfully than usual, looking all around the place with a wide grin on his face. The director of the hospital saw off the group personally. Xin Siyues attending doctor, Su He, was invited to join as well. But actually, this patient, Xin Siyue, was the most frustrating patient Su He had ever had. They couldnt figure out the cause of her illness, and when all hope was lost, she mysteriously woke up again. The uninformed members of the hospital even praised her for her good medical abilities. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest at that time. She wished she could roll their eyes at them and say, Medical ability my ass! She barely had to do anything medical related, okay?! Whats more, she couldnt stop thinking about the time when Xin Qiancheng was in her office, asking in contempt, Its been so many days, Doctor Su. Are you sure youre a real doctor? How could she refute him at that time? Doctor Su The dean called out to her while she was distracted. Su He immediately came back to her senses and said to Xin Siyue, Congratulations on being discharged. Remember to get enough rest. Thank you. Su He looked at the woman standing in front of her with her clear eyes and warm smile, and she couldnt help but recall all the comments the nurses made about her in private. It was said that she was a famous host of this citys TV station. Su He had just returned to the country so she was busy with work. Naturally, she hadnt been paying attention to the news. It was also said that she was a very lucky woman. She got married to one of the top talents in Shengjin City with a fortune of billions. They have a happy family and successfully created an heir. Its just that after the birth of the child, they were met with this unexpected fortune. But the gossips concluded unanimously that even if she was in a coma, she had still received three lifetimes worth of blessings with what she already had. Su He witnessed how Chen Sinan and Xin Qiancheng treated Xin Siyue, she agreed with those gossips as wellXin Siyue really was blessed. On the night when Xin Siyue was discharged from the hospital, Chen Sinan had plans to hold a celebration party in the old home and invited some of his good friends to participate. Xin Siyue invited Su He as well. Doctor Sue, would you happen to be free tonight? We would like to invite you to the celebration were hosting tonight. Well Su He hesitated. That was because she did not, in fact, had extra work tonight. Xin Siyue was well aware of the situation and immediately said, Thats decided then. When youre off work, Ill get someone to come pick you up, Doctor Su. Then, She happened to look at Xin Qiancheng, whether purposefully or not. Su he had also followed her gaze over to Xin Qiancheng. But Xin Qiancheng had his body turned to the side and only his profile could be seen. Su He quietly spat in her heart. Hah! Then, she smiled to Xin Siyue, Thank you for the invitation, Mrs. Chen. Ill definitely go if I have time. Sure. Well be waiting for your grand visit this evening, Doctor Su. Su He tugged the corners of her mouth up into a smile. Even though she could sense that Xin Siyue was very extroverted and she didnt mean anything bad by inviting her, she just had a hunch that things may not be as it seems. Chapter 247 - Second update. (2) Chapter 247: Second update. (2) Xin Siyue had dug out a huge pit and she was just waiting for her to jump in. But she couldnt bother with such thoughts after she saw away the Chen and Xin families. She had an important surgery to deal with that would take quite a few hours. She didnt have the energy to think about this. On the way back, Chen Sinan held her and said in dissatisfaction, Can you not rack your mind over things like these as soon as you wake up? What kind of things? Xin Siyue didnt understand. Xin Siyue glanced at her and said, You invited that doctor because youre trying to matchmake her with Xin Qiancheng, arent you? Xin Siyue blinked and looked at him with gleaming eyes. So you found out? Chen Sinan was unsurprised. I know what youre thinking about just by looking at your eyes. Youre just trying to fool that doctor and your muddle-headed brother with your little tricks. Xin Siyue couldnt help but laugh out loud. Oh, so turns out Im married to such an amazing person? You just found out now? Smiling, Xin Siyue curled up in his arms and said, Actually, I realized after coming back this time that I still have a lot of things holding me here. I was worried that Mom and Dad would be sad if I died, and that my brother would never find a girl he liked, being left alone forever. Hes not an expressive person. Even if he cares about you a lot, hell never say it. You have to feel it yourself. Im just worried such a stiff person like him will never find happiness in his life. Chen Sinan sighed and asked, What about me, then? Im worried too. Xin Siyue looked up at him and said, Im worried that youd be foolish enough to wait for me your whole life Yeah, Ill wait for you to wake up for the rest of my life. Xin Siyue smiled and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck. Fortunately, everything is going well. The celebration that night could almost be described as a gathering of friends. There was Mao Shiyuan, Zhuang Zhe, Ji Yi, Gu Tong, Zhong Qin, and even Xia Qiao were all present. As soon as Xin Siyue saw Xia Qiao, she realized that he still looked the same as usual. So, she smiled and said, Long time no see. It seemed like the two had never seen each other since Xin Siyues wedding. When he saw her, it felt like it was a lifetime ago. Im relieved to see you alive and well. If you didnt wake up, then I might have been the next receiver of the Hosts Golden Microphone. Xin Siyue smiled. We all have our strengths. Xia Qiao smiled as well. Xin Siyue looked around at everyone. Yeah, everyone she was close with was here with her. It was a good feeling. Su He wasnt able to arrive before the celebration began. It took a lot of convincing for Xin Siyue to finally talk Xin Qiancheng into going to the hospital to pick the doctor up, and in the end, Xin Qiancheng still returned empty-handed after they waited two hours. When Xin Siyue asked for the reason, Xin Qiancheng just told her plainly, She had a surgery to do. Xin Siyue eyed the ashen look on his face, but it wouldnt be good for her to ask anything more. Su He did not come tonight, but Mo Bei did. When Xin Siyue saw how less he smiled tonight, she asked Chen Sinan in secret, Is Mo Bei not doing well at work or is it love related? Chen Sinan reached out to bring her into his arms and said in dissatisfaction, Youre worrying a lot about other people. Hehe, just concerned about them. Are you concerned about him or Sheng Wenyang? Chen Sinan suddenly asked. Shen Wenyang? If he didnt mention him, then Xin Siyue wouldve forgotten about him and Shi Shi. Chapter 248 - Second update. (3) Chapter 248: Second update. (3) Oh, thats right! Hows he doing? And what about Shi Shi? Chen Sinan avoided the question and responded simply, Shi Shi is dead. It was suicide. In fact, what he didnt tell Xin Siyue was that while she was unconscious, Sheng Wenyang came many times to see him like a ghost that wouldnt let go. She thinks that she was the only one who can accompany him through the rest of his life, and naturally, Chen Sinan ignored her. But Mo Bei was different. It was normal to be sad, frustrated, and disappointed to know that the person you loved with all your heart had such thoughts from start to end. Chen Sinan felt that this was good. At the very least, Mo Bei would be able to see early on that Sheng Wenyang wasnt the right one for him. The topic of this conversation gradually drifted off with Xin Siyues silence. After seeing everyone off, she went into Chen Chenans room to play with him for a while before Chen Sinan told her that time was up. Its time to put the baby to bed. Xin Siyue was at the side, watching him change the diaper of the baby skillfully and preparing the formula. She lamented, Youre much better at being a dad than I am at being a mom now. Chen Sinan looked at her and smiled, Theres still many days in the future and lots of time and opportunities for you to practice. Xin Siyue smiled and nodded. Youre right. Little Anan must have exhausted himself today with all the excitement. It didnt take long for him to fall asleep. After Xin Siyue went back into the room to take a shower, she found that Chen Sinan who had returned when she didnt realize it was on the bed, reading a book. She had no idea how deep into the book he was. After hearing the noise, Chen Sinan looked up towards the bathroom and saw her standing at the bathroom doorway with a pink nightgown on. Xin Siyues skin was fair to begin with, and now her complexion had become alabaster after these three months. Chen Sinans unscrupulous gaze ran over her exposed skin for a long time. Putting his book down, he said, Come here. Xin Siyue looked at his dark eyes and naturally knew what was in his mind. Smiling, she went over and was just about to pounce on him. But expectedly, he grabbed her hand first before she could do anything and pulled her to bed. Being flipped over, Xin Siyues back landed on the soft sheets. Chen Sinan moved extremely fast and pressed her down underneath himself. The two of them were so close that Xin Siyue could almost count the number of eyelashes on his eyes. She couldnt help but reach out to touch his face from his brow bone, down to his nose, and then his cheek. Did you miss me? Chen Sinan lowered his head and dropped a kiss on her ear. I did. Xin Siyue tilted her head slightly. I missed you so much. Chen Sinan stopped his kisses and looked at her eyes, asking, What did you experience during that period? All those painful things that seemed so distant resurfaced frame after frame at his words as if they had just happened. When I woke up, I realized you werent next to me anymore. I had returned to my previous world. Before I met you, I fell down the stairs and hit my head. I was unconscious there too. For my sake, my mother sold the house and took out a mortgage to pay the debts. After I found out about this, I did my best to work so I could improve me and my mothers lives. I also tried hard to find that book, but when I found out that Shi Shi had already passed away there, I lost hope. I searched for that book for so long and never found it, that was until, I met Chen Junxing Chapter 246 - Second update. (1) Chapter 246: Second update.

(2) Chapter 247: Second update. (2) Xin Siyue had dug out a huge pit and she was just waiting for her to jump in. But she couldnt bother with such thoughts after she saw away the Chen and Xin families. She had an important surgery to deal with that would take quite a few hours. She didnt have the energy to think about this. On the way back, Chen Sinan held her and said in dissatisfaction, Can you not rack your mind over things like these as soon as you wake up? What kind of things? Xin Siyue didnt understand. Xin Siyue glanced at her and said, You invited that doctor because youre trying to matchmake her with Xin Qiancheng, arent you? Xin Siyue blinked and looked at him with gleaming eyes. So you found out? Chen Sinan was unsurprised. I know what youre thinking about just by looking at your eyes. Youre just trying to fool that doctor and your muddle-headed brother with your little tricks. Xin Siyue couldnt help but laugh out loud. Oh, so turns out Im married to such an amazing person? You just found out now? Smiling, Xin Siyue curled up in his arms and said, Actually, I realized after coming back this time that I still have a lot of things holding me here. I was worried that Mom and Dad would be sad if I died, and that my brother would never find a girl he liked, being left alone forever. Hes not an expressive person. Even if he cares about you a lot, hell never say it. You have to feel it yourself. Im just worried such a stiff person like him will never find happiness in his life. Chen Sinan sighed and asked, What about me, then? Im worried too. Xin Siyue looked up at him and said, Im worried that youd be foolish enough to wait for me your whole life Yeah, Ill wait for you to wake up for the rest of my life. Xin Siyue smiled and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck. Fortunately, everything is going well. The celebration that night could almost be described as a gathering of friends. There was Mao Shiyuan, Zhuang Zhe, Ji Yi, Gu Tong, Zhong Qin, and even Xia Qiao were all present. As soon as Xin Siyue saw Xia Qiao, she realized that he still looked the same as usual. So, she smiled and said, Long time no see. It seemed like the two had never seen each other since Xin Siyues wedding. When he saw her, it felt like it was a lifetime ago. Im relieved to see you alive and well. If you didnt wake up, then I might have been the next receiver of the Hosts Golden Microphone. Xin Siyue smiled. We all have our strengths. Xia Qiao smiled as well. Xin Siyue looked around at everyone. Yeah, everyone she was close with was here with her. It was a good feeling. Su He wasnt able to arrive before the celebration began. It took a lot of convincing for Xin Siyue to finally talk Xin Qiancheng into going to the hospital to pick the doctor up, and in the end, Xin Qiancheng still returned empty-handed after they waited two hours. When Xin Siyue asked for the reason, Xin Qiancheng just told her plainly, She had a surgery to do. Xin Siyue eyed the ashen look on his face, but it wouldnt be good for her to ask anything more. Su He did not come tonight, but Mo Bei did. When Xin Siyue saw how less he smiled tonight, she asked Chen Sinan in secret, Is Mo Bei not doing well at work or is it love related? Chen Sinan reached out to bring her into his arms and said in dissatisfaction, Youre worrying a lot about other people. Hehe, just concerned about them. Are you concerned about him or Sheng Wenyang? Chen Sinan suddenly asked. Shen Wenyang? If he didnt mention him, then Xin Siyue wouldve forgotten about him and Shi Shi. Chapter 248 - Second update. (3) Chapter 248: Second update. (3) Oh, thats right! Hows he doing? And what about Shi Shi? Chen Sinan avoided the question and responded simply, Shi Shi is dead. It was suicide. In fact, what he didnt tell Xin Siyue was that while she was unconscious, Sheng Wenyang came many times to see him like a ghost that wouldnt let go. She thinks that she was the only one who can accompany him through the rest of his life, and naturally, Chen Sinan ignored her. But Mo Bei was different. It was normal to be sad, frustrated, and disappointed to know that the person you loved with all your heart had such thoughts from start to end. Chen Sinan felt that this was good. At the very least, Mo Bei would be able to see early on that Sheng Wenyang wasnt the right one for him. The topic of this conversation gradually drifted off with Xin Siyues silence. After seeing everyone off, she went into Chen Chenans room to play with him for a while before Chen Sinan told her that time was up. Its time to put the baby to bed. Xin Siyue was at the side, watching him change the diaper of the baby skillfully and preparing the formula. She lamented, Youre much better at being a dad than I am at being a mom now. Chen Sinan looked at her and smiled, Theres still many days in the future and lots of time and opportunities for you to practice. Xin Siyue smiled and nodded. Youre right. Little Anan must have exhausted himself today with all the excitement. It didnt take long for him to fall asleep. After Xin Siyue went back into the room to take a shower, she found that Chen Sinan who had returned when she didnt realize it was on the bed, reading a book. She had no idea how deep into the book he was. After hearing the noise, Chen Sinan looked up towards the bathroom and saw her standing at the bathroom doorway with a pink nightgown on. Xin Siyues skin was fair to begin with, and now her complexion had become alabaster after these three months. Chen Sinans unscrupulous gaze ran over her exposed skin for a long time. Putting his book down, he said, Come here. Xin Siyue looked at his dark eyes and naturally knew what was in his mind. Smiling, she went over and was just about to pounce on him. But expectedly, he grabbed her hand first before she could do anything and pulled her to bed. Being flipped over, Xin Siyues back landed on the soft sheets. Chen Sinan moved extremely fast and pressed her down underneath himself. The two of them were so close that Xin Siyue could almost count the number of eyelashes on his eyes. She couldnt help but reach out to touch his face from his brow bone, down to his nose, and then his cheek. Did you miss me? Chen Sinan lowered his head and dropped a kiss on her ear. I did. Xin Siyue tilted her head slightly. I missed you so much. Chen Sinan stopped his kisses and looked at her eyes, asking, What did you experience during that period? All those painful things that seemed so distant resurfaced frame after frame at his words as if they had just happened. When I woke up, I realized you werent next to me anymore. I had returned to my previous world. Before I met you, I fell down the stairs and hit my head. I was unconscious there too. For my sake, my mother sold the house and took out a mortgage to pay the debts. After I found out about this, I did my best to work so I could improve me and my mothers lives. I also tried hard to find that book, but when I found out that Shi Shi had already passed away there, I lost hope. I searched for that book for so long and never found it, that was until, I met Chen Junxing Chapter 249 - Who is This Chen Junxing? (1) Chapter 249: Who is This Chen Junxing? (1) Chen Junxing? Chen Sinan squinted at the words. Yeah. Chen Junxing. Whos that? Intuition told him that this was not any ordinary man. And his surname was Chen? Yeah. Ill be honest, so dont get angry with me, Xin Siyue quickly reminded him first. Chen Sinan looked silently at her. Was he such a petty guy in her heart? Do you think Im that easily angry? He asked. Xin Siyue smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. Well, youre not that petty. So, whos this Chen Junxing person? He looks just like you, and even more amazingly, hes in the same career with you too. Only, hes engaged in the industry while youre not. Is that so? Chen Sinans reaction was light. Both he and Shi Shi used to live in the same neighborhood, and Shi Shi knew him. She burned all the existing copies of that book and left him one single copy. I had only realized the truth after many years, and after finishing that book, I found out you were waiting for me. So, I desperately wanted to come back to see you. When he heard that, Chen Sinan was deep in thought for a long time. He asked, How did you come back? I ended up working for a magazine at that time as a reporter, and one of the provinces was hit by an earthquake. Nobody else would go, so I volunteered. Chen Sinan seemed to have guessed something from her words. Didsomething happen to you? Xin Siyue gave him a light smile. Yeah. it was the aftershocks. I was busy trying to help with the rescue efforts, and I didnt manage to escape. Even though she was lying intact in his arms at this time, just thinking about the situation back then and how helpless she must have been, how she was all alone before her death made Chen Sinans heart clench. This person he loved so much that he wished he could keep in the palm of his own hands and pampered was, in a place he had no knowledge of, endured so much pain. He had so many things he wanted to say, but he didnt know where to start. Chen Sinan said in a deep voice, Ill protect you in the future. Yeah, I know. Chen Sinan, my mom died of stomach cancer. She said she was glad I was safe and sound, and in the half-month before she died, she was glad that I could be there for her. But I still feel guilty. I was still useless and unable to protect her. No, its just fate. She left in peace and that is enough. Xin Siyue recalled what her mother told her before her death and said to him, My mom also felt regretful that I never found someone I could live out the rest of my lives with. I told her I did find him. Xin Siyue looked at him and said in a gentle voice, Ive already found him. Only, I never had the opportunity to show him to her. That was a regret she would never be able to mend. Chen Sinan was silent for a moment. Then, he reached out to stroke her long hair and whispered, Shell watch us being happily together from heaven, so dont be sad. Yeah, I know. As long as youre by my side, Ill have endless confidence and strength. Xin Siyue blinked her eyes and felt sleepiness gushing over her. She was just about to close her eyes when she heard Chen Sinan ask, So, whats your relationship with that Chen Junxing? Huh? Xin Siyue opened her eyes to look at him. What do you mean? He looks the same as me and is in the same profession. Even his personality is almost like mine When Xin Siyue heard the deeper meanings of her word, she deliberately put on a smile and said, Oh, youre wrong. His character is different from yours. Hes gentler and more gentlemanly than you. Oh? Gentler? And more gentlemanly? Yeah! Chen Junxing is really a good person. Its just a pity Xin Siyues voice softened as her gaze deepened. A pity what? Is it a pity you couldnt stay with him? Well, I just think its a pity I never got to see him obtain happiness. Xin Siyue would always remember Chen Junxings kindness. Even if he wasnt there for her during her most difficult period where she lost her family, she was afraid that she wouldnt have been able to hold on. Chen Sinan Yeah? No matter where I go, I will not abandon you as long as you remain in my memories. No matter where you are, Ill remain as loyal to you in our relationship as you are to me. Xin Siyue said softly, Even though he looked exactly like you, and is the same as you in many places, I know he isnt you. You are you, you are my Chen Sinan Each and every one of her words shook his core. This was perhaps the deepest confession he had ever heard in his life. She wouldnt leave him, wouldnt abandon him. The two of them shared the same loyalty in their feelings. Chapter 250 - Who is This Chen Junxing? (2) Chapter 250: Who is This Chen Junxing? (2) Xin Siyue, you are also mine, Chen Sinans. Then, without waiting for her to respond, Chen Sinan captured her lips tenderly and kissed her. The two of them had not been intimate for a very long time. Even if Chen Sinan was impatient, he seemed to be trying to refute what she said just now with all his might. He kissed her and rubbed against her bodytossing Xin Siyue up and down. Again and again, he asked in an enchanting voice, Does it feel good? Am I gentle? Xin Siyue was starting to get a little impatient and called him bastard countless times in her heart. Finally, she took advantage of his lowered guard and rolled over, grabbing the upper position. She straddled his waist and dropped her body Chen Sinan muffled a grunt and grabbed her slender waist. Immediately, he turned her back around, pressing her beneath him again. Then, without any mercy, he began moving his hips ruthlessly. Nh Xin Siyue reached her arms around him and tried her best to cooperate with his movements. Only, she had exhausted all her energy in just a short while. Now, she was just panting in Chen Sinans arm while Chen Sinan held the wheel. When Xin Siyue woke up the next day, it was already the afternoon. The harsh, hot summer sun was blinding. She changed her clothes and opened the curtains, looking outside at the blue sky and white clouds, and all those familiar buildings. Suddenly, she raised the corners of her mouth. Mm, the weather is good today. When Xin Siyue went downstairs, Grandpa Chen and the rest were playing with the kid. Even though he had small hands, the baby liked to grab at things. Grandpa Chen was teasing him with a jade pendant, bringing it high and low, near and far, but he wouldnt let him catch it. The little guy wanted to grab it but couldnt, and was so angry that he was spitting bubbles. But both Weng Yinlin and Chen An were smiling. Chen Sinan was standing at the side, saying mercilessly, Son, youre so stupid! The little guy seemed to be very happy as it waved his small hands at his dad who was talking to him. Chen Sinan scratched his head helplessly. Yeah, youre really stupid! Just like your mommy! Xin Siyue coughed lightly and greeted everyone. Grandpa, Mom, Dad. Weng Yinlin turned around to see her walking down the stairs and quickly said, Youre awake? Aunt Song made you some soup in the kitchen. Remember to drink it later. Thanks, Mom, Xin Siyue said while walking up to the little guy. Seeing that Chen Sinan was holding him, she reached out, wanting to take him. But Chen Sinan said, You should get breakfast first. Okay Xin Siyue said and looked reluctantly at her child. Then, she leaned over to kiss his tender cheek. What soft skin! The more she looked at it, the more she liked it! After staying at home with the elders and the child for more than half a month, Xin Siyue had to go back to work. After not returning for nearly half a year, Xin Siyue looked at her workplace that had changed quite a bit and couldnt help but be filled with feelings. Life after returning to work was naturally busy. Sometimes, Grandpa or Weng Yinlin would take care of the baby, but most of the time he was looked after by Bai Ning and her husband. It didnt matter how busy was Xin Siyue during the day, she would still try to get off earlier so she could come home to see her child. As time went by, the little one got used to this and would stick to Xin Siyue as soon as he saw her, just like in the beginning. Just like when he was sleeping, he definitely needed Xin Siyue to hold him and to coax him to sleep. Chen Sinan had a lot of complaints about this. Hes a boy but hes so needy! Xin Siyue rolled her eyes at him but she didnt plan to talk to him. Gradually, the differences between the two on them on the education of the child grew more obvious. Xin Siyue loved the child, and she would feel very sad if the child so much as fell down or bumped into something. Chen Sinan however, was the reasoning type. Things like these are inevitable as the child is growing up. The more you worry over him, the more spoiled hell become. On the other hand, Chen Chenan had good eyes. He had already figured out who cares for him more. Every time Chen Sinan kept that straight face on, he would seek Grandpa Chen for help or get Xin Siyue to back him up. Chen Sinan felt very helpless about this too. On this day, when Chen Sinan returned to the room, he was surprised to find an extra small figure lying in the middle of his large bed. Chen Sinan hesitated for a second and asked, Is the kid sleeping with us? Xin Siyue was humming a little tune to coax him to sleep. Seeing that he had finally fallen asleep peacefully, she quickly eyed Chen Sinan, motioning him to keep quiet. Chen Sinan raised his brows. Oh, has his own status already fallen to this level? Chapter 251 - Yeah, I’ll never let you go.” (1) Chapter 251: Yeah, Ill never let you go. (1) This weekend, Chen Chenan began wailing early in the morning. Xin Siyue seemed to have heard the noise as soon as she woke up and immediately sat up in bed. When he heard the noise, Chen Sinan also woke up and saw her holding the baby. So, he said, He might have wet his diaper. Xin Siyue had a look and saw that it was really so, so she quickly changed his diaper. After she finished changing him, Chen Sinan handed over the milk powder. As soon as the little guy saw that there was milk to drink, he sucked on it vigorously, taking mouthful after mouthful without stopping. Xin Siyue reached out to nudge the bridge of his nose, laughing, What are you in such a hurry for? Nobodys going to snatch your milk. The little baby blinked his eyes at her. Chen Sinan laughed at the side. Hes just like you. Hearing that, Xin Siyue turned to look at him and cleared her throat. Chen Sinan, youre just like your son when you lie. Your eyes dont even twitch. Chen Sinan said, Im just stating facts. Hmph! Xin Siyue didnt think she had that habit. The little one must have inherited his eager nature. Such as his eagerness to do certain things in certain places at certain times. He was so annoying and wouldnt allow her to say anything more. He really was a headache like the little one. Xin Siyue couldnt be bothered to argue with him and just watched the child. His eyes were big and round and his skin was fair and supple. The more she looked at him, the more delighted she felt. The baby was so cute. Xin Siyue held the baby and suddenly felt like saying, I never dared to think that I would be able to hold him in my arms one day. The nightmares of those days, finding herself in the darkness, crying helplessly alone without being able to find the direction while her child was crying so hard, and being unable to find him now seemed like such a far off thing. Once a person obtained happiness, all the painful past of suffering seems to become blurred and faded into nothingness. The past that one had lived through was gone, it was no longer important. When she heard her speak with such sentiment, Chen Sinan hugged her shoulder and said, Were always here. Yeah. Ill never let you go. Ne neither. Xin Siyue brought the baby into her embrace and felt that her life was finally complete. She was very content with this. Chen Chenan was very good in many ways. Only, he was picky with people and had a big temper. Usually, after falling asleep at night, he wouldnt make much noise unless he was hungry. But he needed Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan to hold him and coax him to sleep every night, which was a real struggle for the elders. Xin Siyue had to record a TV show one night and would be back by around 11 pm. Chen Sinan on the other hand had an important dinner party and couldnt stay at home. With the couple out together, Chen An played lift off with Chen Chenan for a very long time and he was giggling the whole time. It wasnt until Chen An didnt even have the energy in his arms to lift him any more than old Grandpa Chen took the baby from him. He put him down on his laps and made faces at the baby. But old Grandpa Chens techniques may not be so great. After staring at him expressionlessly for a moment, they werent sure whether Chen Chenan disliked it or was scared, but he began crying. And when he started, nobody could coax him better. Chapter 252 - Yeah, I’ll never let you go.” (2) Chapter 252: Yeah, Ill never let you go. (2) Weng Yinlin saw him cry so hard that his eyes were red and even his nose had turned red as well, and she quickly asked Chen An to call the two to hurry home. Xin Siyue was busy recording the program so she didnt even realize her phone rang many times. Chen Sinan was currently talking about the most important points with his partners and when he saw the caller ID for the old home, the first thing he thought was that it must be related to Chen Chenan. Sure enough, he heard his sons earth-shattering cries as soon as the call connected. After listening to Chen Ans explanation, Chen Sinan quickly hung up and told his partners that he had to go home first. Then, he quickly left, leaving Assistant Wang to clean up the mess. On the way home, Chen Sinan called Xin Siyue many times but she never picked up. So, frowning, he rushed back home. As soon as he arrived, he saw the three elders surrounding Chen Chenan, trying their best to coax the baby. Even Aunt Song was breaking up a sweat from trying to tease him. But Chen Chenan still wasnt having any of it and wailed as loud as he could. Chen Sinan frowned. He quickly took off his suit jacket that smelled of alcohol and tobacco and quickly went over to hold him. After picking him up, Chen Sinan began coaxing him, and the babys cries gradually went down. Seeing him sobbing with tears all over his face, Chen Sinan quickly told Weng Yinlin to get a tissue to help wipe his face. While going as light as possible, Weng Yinlin said, This child, you really scared all of us! Then, when she saw Chen Chenan blinking his pitiful eyes, she felt her heart ache and didnt dare to say anymore. Instead, she turned to talk about her son instead. Whats with you anyway? YOu have managers and executives all over your company! What sort of dinner was so important that you had to go yourself?! Next time just hurry home after work! If my grandson cries like this anymore, what am I going to do if he cant breathe! Well, shes right. Chen Chenan practically never took any breaks when he begins crying. And this was the reason why the elders had to summon them back in a hurry. Hearing that, Chen Sinan looked speechlessly at the one in his arms and said, Got it, Mom. After the show, Xin Siyue was just about to change when she heard someone call out to her. Host Xin, your phone rang a lot of times earlier. Was there an emergency? Xin Siyue thanked them and took her phone. As soon as she saw the name, she felt a sense of urgency and immediately called Chen Sinan back. Did something happen at home? Yeah, but its fine now. Are you off work? Xin Siyue quickly asked, Did something happen to Anan? Chen Sinan turned around to look at the little guy who was sleeping happily in bed and responded, Not anymore. He just cried really hard when we werent around, but hes asleep now. Xin Siyues heart clenched when she heard his words, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he fell asleep. Thats good. Chen Sinan asked. Are you done with work? Yeah, the recordings done. Im just about to head home. Wait for me after you pack up. Ill come pick you up. Xin Siyue said, No need, I drove here this morning. Its already dark, Im worried. When she heard him say this, Xin Siyues heart felt warm. Smiling, she said, Alright! Ill be troubling you then, President Chen! Chen Sinan also had a smile on his face. Anything for my wife. Chapter 253 - Yeah, I’ll never let you go.” (3) Chapter 253: Yeah, Ill never let you go. (3) After picking her up, Chen Sinan brought her for supper. By the time they returned home, it was nearly 12 pm. Xin Siyue went into the room and saw Chen Chenan sleeping deeply. She couldnt help but touch his small little hand and whispered to Chen Sinan behind her, Why dont I quit my job? Chen Sinan who was distracted looked at her and said, What? The baby only recognizes you and me. If he ever cries again like today when both of us are away at work, whats going to happen to him if we didnt pay attention to our phones or didnt come home in time? Naturally, Xin Siyue knew how her child was like. If he started crying hard at night, then he definitely wouldnt stop easily without them around to calm him down. Hes still young, itll be bad if he cries like this, Xin Siyue added. Chen Sinans face paled. Naturally, he knew this was bad, but he said, Isnt this career your dream? Besides, youre currently on an upswing. Are you sure you wont regret it if you resign? Xin Siyue looked at the child and said, Maybe I will, but compared to work, I want to take care of my child. Chen Sinan was quiet for a moment. He walked forward and reached out to hold her slender waist and said, Forget it. Let me make that sacrifice instead. What do you mean? Xin Siyue was surprised. Since someone has to be there at night to take care of the kid, Ill do it. As for work, Ill try to settle everything during the day. But how would Xin Siyue not be aware of the amount of stress he had to take on when he was in charge of such a large company? No, let me do it. You have so many things to If youre working overtime, Ill rush back as soon as I can. But if not, Ill just see how the situations like. This was the best way to do it. The two of them will work out their schedules. Xin Siyue thought about it and knew that this was the best idea. Lets do that, then, she agreed. Yeah. Chen Sinan, I just realized how difficult it is to be a parent to a growing child. Even if you have a lot of elders to help take care of the child, youll still think about your child all the time during work, and be worried about whether something would happen to them. Were still young, we can slowly learn how to become a good mother and father for the baby. Xin Siyue nodded. She turned slightly in his arms, smiling and looking at him for a long moment before reaching her arms behind his neck and kissing him with her eyes closed. Chen Sinan wrapped her arms around her waist and lowered his head to match her, tangling their lips and tongues together. Xin Siyue gasped at the eagerness of his kiss and reached out to give him a gentle punch on the shoulder. Chen Sinan chuckled and loosened his hold. Squeezing her nose, he said, Even though you seduced me first Xin Siyue blushed and glared at him. Proudly, she denied, I just gave you a kiss, you call that seducing you? Isnt it? Then what would you consider seduction? Xin Siyue was speechless. At leastAt least Chen Sinan observed her face which was growing hotter and hotter. When he lowered his head to kiss her, he whispered, Ill be waiting for you to broaden my horizons. Then, he smiled and added, So dont keep me waiting too long, Mrs. Chen. Ahmm Chapter 254 - Lifelong love. (1) Chapter 254: Lifelong love. (1) After learning how to run, Chen Chenan liked to run all over the place. Xin Siyue followed behind him to watch over him, and she felt her back aching after the day. At night when Chen Xinan held her and was intimate with her, Xin Siyue avoided it and said, Im tired, can you let me have a good sleep tonight? Chen Sinan didnt understand. She was at home resting all day, so how could she be tired? But when he asked, he found out it was related to that little brat Chen Chenan. The next day, he said to her, Ill watch the kid so you rest. Xin Siyue thought about her own heavy workload from Monday and nodded, saying to him reassuredly. Ill leave the child to you, then. Yeah, go sleep. Xin Siyue nodded and went back into the room. But she didnt have a very restful sleep either. She woke up in less than an hour. She got up and headed downstairs only to find Chen Chenan sitting in the middle of the living room with a big pile of toys around him. Xin Siyue took a look at Chen Chenan who was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt arranging toy car after toy car in a serious manner. Smiling, she called out to him, Anan? Mommy! Mommy! When Chenan saw her coming downstairs, he waved the toy car in his hands excitedly. Car, mommy! Car! Xin Siyue smiled at him. Mommy knows, Anan. Go ahead and play. Chen Chenan looked at her, then at Chen Sinan. After giving them a sweet smile, he continued arranging his toy cars. When Xin Siyue saw Chen Sinan sitting on the sofa looking at his laptop. When she sat down next to him, Chen Sinan put his laptop back on the table. Xin Siyue laid quietly in his arms while Chen Sinan reached his arms over her shoulders and holding her other hand, playing with it in his hands. Xin Siyue quickly turned to look at Chen Chenan. Seeing him with his back towards her focused on his toys, she couldnt help but feel relieved. Chen Sinan joked, Its not like youre doing something sneaky, what are you being so tense for? Xin Siyue looked up at him and whispered, The kid is still around! Shh! Chen Sinan chuckled. Its not like were doing anything. Im just holding you. Hm? And what is your hand doing? Xin Siyue grabbed his hand that was making its way up her clothes and constantly causing trouble. Being seen through, Chen Sinan lowered his head and gave her a deep kiss before chuckling, Give me a kiss, then. Hey! Cant we have a proper talk anymore? After he was done kissing her, Xin Siyue temporarily felt relieved since it didnt seem like he was going to continue. Curling up in his arms, she asked, So how did you get him to sit there and play by himself obediently? Chen Sinan didnt think much of it. If I dont let him play by himself, did you want me to chase around him the whole day just like you? His words really werepiercing. Xin Siyue was unhappy. He likes to run around! What am I going to do if he hurts himself if I dont follow him? Chen Sinan looked at her. Heh, so anything is fine as long as youre pampering the child, hm? Of course! Chen Sinan was slightly dissatisfied. Even if you love him, you cant pamper him too much. Hell be spoiled sooner or later! Xin Siyue said, I know when to stop. Chen Sinan was not fully convinced. Then, he said, Well see how it goes. Xin Si Yue, She couldnt match him in the speech game, so she hit him with the pillow beside her instead. Chen Sinan was completely mystified at being hit, so he pressed her down on the sofa and tickled her. And how could Xin Siyue bear it? She quickly admitted her wrong and called for mercy. You want me to let you go? Maybe in your next life! Chapter 255 - Lifelong love. (2) Chapter 255: Lifelong love. (2) That sounds like a familiar TV line Xin Siyue paused for a moment, but she quickly said, I was wrong! I was wrong! See if you still dare to Play! Play! When Chen Chenan saw the two of them, he quickly ran over while still holding a toy car, bouncing happily. As soon as they heard the noise, they immediately stopped. Both of them looked at each other and they both had to restrain themselves a little. The weather was beautiful in the afternoon so Xin Siyue proposed going to the mall together. With Chen Sinan as the driver, they arrived at the mall, and he also carried the baby the whole way through, patiently accompanying Xin Siyue and doing his own browsing as well. It must be because he inherited the strong genes of his parents, but he was really a beautiful child, and the family of three attracted the gazes of many passers-by along the way. After some people recognized Xin Siyue, they began following them from afar. Chen Sinan saw the few college girls following him from behind and he frowned. He said to Xin Siyue who was looking at mens shirts, Its difficult having a famous wife after all. Were being followed by so many people. Even though Xin Siyue wasnt paying attention to what was happening behind her, she could still tell from sound alone that she had been recognized. Smiling, she measured the shirt with Chen Sinans body and said, Hey, dont push it all on me. Even without me, I think your face alone will still turn a lot of heads, hm? Chen Sinan smiled proudly. If Im not handsome enough to keep my wife, then thatll be a real problem! Yeah, President Chen is right. So what youre saying, Mrs. Chen, is that youre only with me because of my looks? Xin Siyue, Isnt this topic jumping a little fast? Xin iSiyue ignored him. But at night, when a certain someone was tossing and turning her all over, he whispered by her ear, Tell me, what do you love about me? I love your Xin Siyue gripped the sheets tightly with one hand while she bit her lower lip. Even her speech was as soft as her body. She was completely exhausted. My what? Mh Chen Sinan ground against her, refusing to give her a break. Xin Siyue couldnt stand it anymore and bit his arm. So, now Chen Sinan had even more reasons to torment her. With that, he caused Xin Siyue to be two hours late to work the next day. When Chen Sinan was still half-asleep, he heard her in a hurry to pack up her things and he muttered, Its so early, why dont you sleep a little longer? When she heard what he said, Xin Siyue was so pissed that she returned to the bed and reached out to pinch his nose. Hmph! Its this late and you still say its early! Im already late because of you, Chen Sinan! Chen Sinan reached out to hug her, trying to drag her back into the covers. Take the day off then. I cant! Seeing her insistence on going to work, Chen Sinan sat up and said in a muffled voice, Ill send you. No need, you should continue sleeping. Ill go myself. Be careful on the road, then. Okay. Ill call you when I arrive. Seeing that she had left, Chen Sinan continued sleeping for a while before heading to work. At four in the afternoon, Xin Siyue received a call from Assistant Wang. Madam, President Chen has a fever. I advised him several times but he wouldnt go to the hospital. A fever? Xin Siyue thought about it and decided that it must be due to what they did last night. Did he take any medicine? Xin Siyue asked. President Chen said he was fine and wouldnt take any. Xin Siyue thought about it for a bit and responded, Alright, I understand. Chapter 256 - Lifelong love. (3) Chapter 256: Lifelong love. (3) Chen Sinan was currently in a meeting when the door was suddenly opened by someone. Just as he was about to ask who dared to interrupt the meeting, he saw his secretary bowing and apologizing before quickly saying, President Chen, the madam says she needs you urgently for something so I didnt dare delay. When he saw indeed that Xin Siyue was right behind her, he quickly turned around and asked, Why are you here? Xin SIyue responded, I needed you urgently for something. Do you mind availing yourself for a moment? Chen Sinan nodded and ordered them to continue the meeting. Then, he took her hand and headed back into his office. As soon as the door was closed, Chen Sinan got rid of his expressionless mask and asked with a smile, Honey, why are you here? If I didnt come, Im just worried Id have to see you in the hospital tonight. Chen Sinan seemed to have understood something. Assistant Wang must have called her earlier. Im fine, honey. Dont listen to Assistant Wang, hes just getting worked up over nothing. Xin Siyue got on her tiptoes and touched his forehead. Ill judge for myself if youre fine or not. Now, be good and go sit down on the chair. Chen Sinan was speechless Isnt this the same tone she uses when shes coaxing her son? When Xin Siyue came over, she had already prepared everything. First, she took his temperature. It was 38.7C. As soon as Xin Siyue saw the number, her tone was serious. You have such a serious fever and you still say youre fine? First, take the medicine. Then, she passed him some medicine and water. Chen Sinan looked at it for a while and said, I dont need it. Itll go down on its own after tomorrow. No. Im worried. Those simple words caused Chen Sinan to surrender. After taking the medicine, Xin Siyue went home with him. Immediately, she pushed him into the room and told him to sleep for a while. Hell only get better after sweating it out for a bit. Even if he was convinced that nothing was wrong with him, Chen Sinan could only comply when he saw how anxious she looked. After waking up from his nap, the sky had already turned dark. As soon as Chen Sinan sat up, Xin Siyue brought him some clear congee. Awake? How do you feel? Here, have some congee. Then, when she saw no reaction from him, she looked up at him. But then, Chen Sinan laughed and slowly said, Sure enough, its nice to be married. Seeing that he was starting to get funny again, Xin Siyue said, Huh, you just realized that? I know it well. Stop messing around and eat your food. Chen Sinan thought that sure enough, life is only complete when you have a caring person to live with you through the years. At the end of the year, Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan attended an award ceremony together. When they walked down the red carpet fully dressed up, cheers went up all around them. During the red carpet interview, a reporter asked Chen Sinan how he felt about the debut. Chen Sinan was not very compliant and said, No comments. Xin Siyue who was holding his arm nearly let out a laugh. The reporter was speechless for half a minute before turning the mic to Xin Siyue instead. Host Xin, do you think youll win anything this award ceremony? Xin Siyue responded very briefly. If fate wills it. It would be lucky if she did, but it would only be normal if she didnt get it. It was all up to fate. Fortunately, the results were satisfactory and Xin Siyue won the Golden Microphone Award. After heading on stage to get her award and to give her acceptance speech, Xin Siyue thanked everyone, especially those she loved. The camera panned to Chen Sinans face that was smiling lightly, instantly triggering a scream from the audience. Xin Siyue met his warm gaze and continued, Thank you for coming into my life. I asked you what you would do if I wasnt by my side, and you told me that the only person youll love in your life is me. Today, I would also like to take this opportunity to say, I love you! Chapter 257 - Chen Chenan always thought: Daddy’s really petty (1) Chapter 257: Chen Chenan always thought: Daddys really petty (1) The more grown-up Chen Chenan was, the naughtier he got. Except for the times when he was taking afternoon naps or sleeping at night, he practically never sat still for a moment. He would play from upstairs to downstairs, then run from downstairs back upstairs again, throwing his toys and stuff everywhere. As soon as Xin Siyue saw how messed up the house was, she put on a stern face and called out to him, Chen Chenan! Mommy Mommy! After hearing her voice, Chen Chenan quickly ran over and held up the toys Mao Shiyuangave him. Xin Siyue had a headache. Didnt mommy tell you to pack up your toys after playing with them and put them back into their original places? Mommy, Im not done playing yet, the little one argued. Youve been playing all day, Xin Siyue reminded. Mommy, Ill keep it later. Xin Siyue told him sternly, If you dont clean up now, daddy will clean you up once he gets back. Her use of the word clean had two different meanings in that sentence. Chen Chenan blinked his big round eyes as if struggling to make sense of his mommys words. But he understood that he wouldnt be able to play around so wilfully as when he was alone at home with his mommy once his daddy comes back. After Chen Chenan turned three, Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan would take him back to their own home on the weekends. Chen Sinan had just started on a new project today so he had left the house early in the morning in his suit. When Chen Chenan woke up and heard that his dad wasnt home, he played even more vigorously. But now, hearing his dads name made his face turn sour. He asked Xin Siyue, Is Daddy getting off work? Xin Siyue leaned down and squeezed his chubby cheeks. She nodded. Yeah. Daddy sent Mommy a message saying hes on the way, so are you going to put your toys back where they belong? Chen Chenan blinked his eyes, feeling a little frustrated. But he could only lower his head and respond unhappily, Okay, Mommy. For Chen Chenan, the only person he was afraid of in this world was Chen Sinan. It might be the way he criticized him with an emotionless face, but after getting scared once, the little guy didnt dare to disobey anything Chen Sinan said ever again. But he was also mad at his daddy. Whenever Daddy wasnt home, he could sleep in with Mommy on that big comfy bed. But once Daddy comes back, hell definitely carry him back to his own room. So, Chen Chenan always thought: Daddys really petty, he wont let me sleep with Mommy. As soon as he thought of this, Chen Chenan who was putting his toys back into their box ran over to Xin Siyues side and tugged on her sleeves. Mommy! Mommy! Whats wrong? Do you need Mommy to help you clean up? Chen Chenan scratched his head and thought about it for a moment, then he said happily, Yeah, yeah! Alright, lets clean up together, then. Xin Siyue stroked his head and smiled. When Chen Chenan entered the house, he just happened to see the two of them cleaning up the toys on the floor. Chen Chenan was playing while he cleaned up, and he saw his tall Daddy come in as soon as he looked up, so he quickly tossed the things in his hands and ran over. Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Chen Sinan who was taking his suit jacket off stopped. He reached out to pet Chen Chenan who had latched onto his leg and asked, Were you a good boy today? Did you listen to your mommy? Yeah! Chen Chenan nodded strongly. Then, Ill ask your mommy later. If Mommy says no, then Ill leave you home alone tonight. Chen Chenan remembered that his daddy and mommy told him this morning they needed to go over to Grandma and Grandpas house in the evening, so he hurriedly ran back and pulled Xin Siyue who had just bent over to pick up the toy he tossed away in front of Chen Sinan and said proudly, Mommy! Ive been good, right? Mommy Chapter 258 - Chen Chenan always thought: Daddy’s really petty (2) Chapter 258: Chen Chenan always thought: Daddys really petty (2) You sneaky littleMhm, youve been very good. Mommy and Daddy will bring you with us tonight, Xin Siyue responded as he wished. Hooray! Chen Chenan said excitedly, Grandpas house has turtles! Turtles! After Xin Jin found out that Chen Chenan liked small animals, he ended up raising many small animals, such as white rabbits and so on. A while ago, he also started raising some fish and turtles. But he had no idea that Chen Chenan didnt actually like animals at all. He just liked bullying them. When Chen Chenan first saw the little kitten in the Xin familys home, he began chasing after it enthusiastically for the whole day just like a dog chasing after a flock of chickens. Even the garden where Bai Ning spent so much effort planing all her expensive flowers were spoiled beyond recognition. After finding that out, Xin Siyue brought him to one corner of the living room and lectured him, telling him to apologize to his grandparents and to make sure he wouldnt do it again. But then, Chen Chenan cried and argued, Mommy is biased! The kitty was wrong too! Why arent you scolding it! Xin Siyue was absolutely speechless. In the end, she was so pissed that she really didnt know whether she should laugh or cry. It was enough if Xin Jin and Bai Ning just stood at the side and didnt help, but they were very accepting of his behavior. Its fine, Anan. Its alright. The flowers are just gone. I can plant new ones. Everythings fine as long as Anan is happy! Chen Chenan immediately dried his tears and smiled, Grandpa, Grandma, Anan is very happy! The little kitty ran so fast, Anan couldnt even catch up! Xin Qiancheng who had just walked over was completely oblivious. Anan, if you cant catch up then just try it a few more times. Try harder! Youll catch it someday! Even though Chen Chenan couldnt understand the deeper meanings of his words, what he did know was that his grandparents and uncle were on his side. So, every time they went back to the Xin family home, Chen Chenan would play to his hearts content. Xin Jin raised a small turtle, a very cute one. Chen Chenan loved teasing it or putting the turtle into the fish tank, watching it swim with the goldfishes. Then, he would reach out to catch the turtle or the goldfish while they were unaware. Seeing them scurrying around made Chen Chenan smiled heartily. When the three members of the Chen Sinans family arrived at the Xin family door, Chen Chenan said especially proudly to Chen Sinan, Daddy! Uncle said hell buy me a car! I can drive a little car in the garden! Hearing that, Xin Siyue asked, Dont you already have several at home? Its different! This ones from Uncle! Chen Sinan looked at him and touched his head. Then you sleep together with Uncle tonight okay? Without even thinking, Chen Anan said, Dont wanna. Why not? Chen Sinan asked. Chen Chenan stared at him, but he couldnt find a reason why. Chen Sinan went on, You see, Uncle bought you so many gifts and even wants to give you a car today, but you dont have a gift for Uncle, do you? If Uncle likes you so much, Im sure Uncle will be very happy if you slept with him. Xin Siyue laughed. Hey, what are you doing? Nothing, Chen Sinan responded in all seriousness. Xin Siyue glanced at him. Who wouldnt realize what he was trying to do tonight? He definitely has a bad reason for trying desperately to coax his son into sleeping together with Xin Qiancheng. Hey, can you lay back a little? My brothers still unmarried, how would he know how to take care of a child? Its better for Anan to sleep with us at night. Chen Sinan looked sadly at her and said, Then let him sleep with mom. Mom has some experience in taking care of children at least. Xin Siyue eyed him and shook her head helplessly. She didnt even feel like talking to him anymore. Chapter 259 Chen Sinan’s Fear (1) Chapter 259: Chen Sinans Fear (1) Xin Siyue saw Bai Ning was in the kitchen preparing dinner when she entered the room. Therefore, she offered to help while Chen Sinan and Xin Jin were playing in the garden with Chen Chenan. After Chen Chenan had enough playing of the car Xin Qiancheng gifted him, he eagerly ran back into the living room while announcing that he wanted to play with the goldfish and little turtle. Xin Siyue poured a glass of water for him to drink and he gurgled a whole half glass of it in one shot. Mommy, Im done drinking. Im going to play now. Before Xin Siyue could wipe his sweat for him, he ran off to play. Slow down! Seeing that Chen Chenan wasnt even paying attention to his feet, Xin Siyue hurriedly reminded. She brought the glass back into the kitchen as Bai Ning smiled. I really like Anan. Not only was he really cute, but he was also very smart and a smooth-talker. Even more, he was healthy and carefree. Xin Siyue wanted to reply when she heard Bai Ning ask, Have you thought of getting Anan a brother or sister? Xin Siyue froze when she heard this. She hadnt heard Chen Sinan or Chen Familys elders mention bearing an extra child. However, she did receive an invitation from Zhong Qin and Zhuang Zhao two days ago. Zhong Qin talked about how she was three months pregnant and casually mentioned, Xinyue, why dont you and Chen Sinan have a second child too? That way, our kids can have playmates. I like the idea of getting childhood sweethearts for my kids. She clearly remembered Chen Sinan talking about his fondness for daughters. Bai Ning was lost in her thought. She then asked, Whats the matter? Did something happen between you and Sinan? Bai Ning couldnt even believe her own question. Right. Thats impossible. The two visited Xin Family whenever they had time, unless Chen Sinan was extremely busy. They always traveled in pairs. When Bai Ning occasionally glanced at them, their gazes were full of gentleness and tenderness for each other. How could there be problems in their relationship? But Bai Ning didnt understand. The two were still young. Anan was also very adorable and healthy. Why arent the two thinking about getting a second child? Seeing how worried Bai Ning was, Xin Siyue hurriedly comforted, Mother, youre overthinking. We have a great relationship. Nothing happened. Then Mother, lets just go with the flow. Bai Ning could only reply, Chen Family is known for having only one child in each generation. After all, Anan would be very lonely by himself. Itd be quite lively with another brother or sister in the family however. Xin Siyue tugged the corner of her lips up. Mother, I understand. In the evening, Chen Chenan pestered Xin Siyue to sleep with him. Bai Ning originally wanted to coax him to sleep with her but Chen Chenan refused. Therefore, Xin Siyue said, Mother, let him sleep with us. He isnt well-behaved in his sleep. Dont make it so that you have trouble sleeping because of him. Its just one night. Its alright. Mother, its okay. Just let him sleep with us. She followed her to have her way. Chen Chenan played quite a bit earlier, so he fell asleep quickly. Seeing that he was deep in sleep, Xin Siyue tucked a corner of his blanket in. Chen Sinan walked out of the bathroom to see the bedroom quiet and silent. He lowered his voice and asked, Asleep? Yeah. Xin Siyue got up and originally wanted to grab her clothes to go into the bathroom to shower. Seeing that Chen Sinan was wiping his hair, she reached over to grab his dry towel to dry his hair. Chen Sinan smiled and said, Wifey, youre great! Xin Siyue also smiled. Right, as long as you know. After that, she tried to get everything out in one breath, Mother just asked me a question. What? Mother asked me why we arent planning for a second child for Anan. After she finished, Xin Siyue stopped and looked at his rear view. She quietly waited for him to answer. Chen Sinan grabbed her hands and asked, Are you happy with the life we have right now? Yes. Xin Siyue said truthfully. So lets maintain this state for now. I have Anan, so Im satisfied. Xin Siyue retorted, But, didnt you say you want a cute daughter when we were planning to have Anan? I dont want one anymore. He almost said this without hesitation. Xin Siyue was expressionless when she heard that. She looked at him, wanting to find traces of him joking around, but unfortunately she didnt. He wore a serious expression, unprecedented seriousness. Xin Siyue felt a bit awkward. You really dont want another child? He responded firmly, No. Xin Siyues eyes teared up a bit. She lowered her head and didnt want to talk. Chen Sinan got up and hugged her. Its enough that we have Anan. Wifey Chen Sinan didnt continue the rest of his words. Chapter 260 Chen Sinan’s Fear (2) Ch.260 Chen Sinans Fear (2) Xin Siyue also tugged the corner of her lips, pretending to be calm. I understand. Chen Sinan watched as she struggled free from his hug and entered the bathroom. He stood in the empty room, not knowing what to do. He looked back to see his precious son in bed. He reached over to pat his soft hair, but he said nothing in the end. When they ate breakfast the next day, Bai Ning could clearly feel the strange distant feeling between Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue. They didnt make any eye contact during the entire breakfast. Up until they were about to go, Chen Sinan asked Xin Siyue, Can we go now? Yeah. Bai Ning, Xin Jin and Xin Qiancheng looked at each other, having the instinct that something happened. When Chen Sinan drove the car over, Xin Qiancheng specially followed behind. You fought with my sister? No. Chen Sinan answered directly. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Then whats going on between you two? Nothing. Xin Qiancheng didnt believe him, so he questioned again. Seeing that Xin Qiancheng persisted on getting an answer, he replied, I wont let her get into any accidents again. What do you mean? Xin Qiancheng just asked this when he heard Chen Chenan call out loudly, Daddy, daddy! Why arent you ready yet? Youre so slow! Uncle, uncle, are you leaving with us? Xin Qiancheng replied, No, uncle isnt coming. Ill visit you when I have time. Okay, Anan will be waiting for uncle. Okay. Xin Qiancheng sent them away and as expected, he heard his parents discuss, What happened between Siyue and Sinan? Bai Ning stopped for a while before thinking and guessing, Could it be about the child? What about the child? Xin Jin asked. I just asked Siyue why she didnt plan on having another child yesterday. Anan is very cute. Itd be perfect if he gains another sister or brother. Xin Jin thought about it before replying, Its their business whether to have another child or not. They will make their own decision. Dont ask them in the future. Xin Qiancheng connected everything and seemed to understand why Chen Sinan didnt want a child. He already went through a terrifying experience when Siyue gave birth to Anan. He was scared, not sure whether theyd be as lucky the next time or if there would be a miracle still. However, Xin Siyue didnt understand. Their relationship had cooled a bit and Chen Familys elders naturally detected it too. When Weng Yinlin was shopping with her, she brought it up. Did A-Nan do something bad to you recently? What? Xin Siyue thought about it and replied, No. Then what happened between the two of you guys? This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Mother, I have been wanting another child, but he refuses. Ever since Xin Siyue returned from Xin Family, she had shamelessly worn sexy outfits and gotten intimate with Chen Sinan a few times. However, he didnt forget to take the safety precautions before the last step. Xin Siyue felt incredibly defeated. In the end, she didnt even bother to cooperate with him. Chen Sinan was quite straightforward. He just purely hugged her to sleep. Xin Siyue never questioned their relationship, but where did this invisible distancing come from? Weng Yinlin thought about it before testing the waters. A-Nan got acquainted with another woman outside? Xin Siyue smiled and said, Mother, Im not worried about this. Im sure that hell naturally talk to me about it if he finds another woman he likes. Plus, hes not a man like that. Weng Yinlin didnt know whether to be glad or what. It was a good thing the two trusted in their relationship, but regarding the child He actually mentioned this to us before. Weng Yinlin pondered over it before deciding to tell her. Mother As his mother, I saw clearly how he definitely wouldve gone crazy if you hadnt woken up after you gave birth to Anan, especially after you slept for such a long time. Thankfully, you woke up later on. Weng Yinlin said meaningfully, When Anan turned two, I talked to him about having another child. He told me that he just wants Anan because he was scared of the same thing happening twice. The risk is too big. He is actually very afraid of that happening again. The risk is too big and he is actually very afraid of that happening again. Xin Siyue felt sour and bitter in her heart when she heard this. It wasnt that he didnt love children, but that he was too scared to gamble. It was too risky to him. Chen Sinan was scared of the same thing happening. He lost her once already, so he was unwilling to lose her again. Even if he only has Anan, life has been good to him. Xin Siyue thought that she was too selfish and forgot how badly she had hurt him by leaving last time. Chen Sinan was afraid of a repeat of the same events. If he had to experience losing her again, hed rather not have a second child. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Chapter 261 Every day is Important when I’m With You (1) Ch.261 Every day is Important when Im With You (1) Chen Sinan received Xin Siyues call in the afternoon at the company. The two were both quiet when they picked up. After a few dozens of seconds, Chen Sinan gave in and asked, What are you doing? Xin Siyue glanced at the closed fitting room. She lowered her voice and said, Im shopping with your mother. Mhm. Chen Sinan became quiet. Xin Siyue considered it for a while before asking, Are you going home after work? Yes. Chen Sinancome to our home after work. Im waiting for you. Chen Sinan wanted to ask why but she hurriedly hung up. He was shocked, wondering if something happened. However, when he returned, he noticed that it was quiet everywhere except for the sound of the kitchen hood. Chen Sinan followed the noise to see her wearing a flowery apron cooking. Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Xin Siyue smiled when she saw him. Youre back? Is today a special occasion? Chen Sinan asked. Every day is important when Im with you. Her words of love seemed to have broken the silence and indifference between the two of them. Chen Sinan looked behind him and noticed that Chen Chenan wasnt here. He lifted his brows and asked, Just the two of us? Xin Siyue slightly lifted her head. Isnt that good? Thats great. Chen Sinan suddenly recalled that the two hadnt spent some time together ever since Anan was born. The two spent their time at work and with Anan. Xin Siyue had spent quite a bit of thought on this candle-lit dinner. The candle light swayed gently. Chen Sinan unbuttoned the buttons on his collar and he tugged on it. Glancing at the table of delicious dishes, his instinct was that Xin Siyue was going to discuss something really important, and he knew very well what this had to do with. Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience However, he didnt have the courage to have a second child. No matter how much he wanted one. Every day is important when Im with you. But compared to the child, he rather her be safe and stay by his side forever. He was already satisfied that she gave him a healthy and cute and lively Anan. What are you thinking about? Chen Sinans gaze landed on Xin Siyues slender fingers on his shoulder and up to see her wearing a revealing low-cut purple long dress. Chen Sinan held her hands. Are you trying to seduce me by wearing such beautiful clothes? What? Are you unwilling? Updated from novelhall[.]com Chen Sinan watched as her smile slowly faded then he gradually replied, Why would I be? Im naturally happy that I get such a beautiful woman. Xin Siyue looked at him and smiled charmingly. Chen Sinan slightly tugged her firmly and she fell onto his thigh. He glanced down the collar of her dress to see that the long dress had a split. Because of the way she was positioned, it revealed her slender long and fair legs. Chen Sinan laughed and landed a kiss on her collarbone right then. He asked in a low voice, Mrs. Chen, what are you plotting by doing all of this? Xin Siyue wrinkled his shirt and unbuttoned a button. She thought that was still not enough so she secretly unbuttoned another one. Chen Sinan looked down to see her teasing him. He got up and carried her to the dining table. This startled Xin Siyue. She hurriedly covered his lips which was about to cover hers. She reminded him, We havent eaten yet. Arent you the most delicious dish? Chen Sinan retorted. Xin Siyues face flushed, not helping her situation. However, she clenched her teeth and still bravely looked up at him. In a gentle voice, You can eat me later. I want to dance for you. Hm? When we just got married, didnt you want me to dance for you alone when you saw a video of me dancing? However, we were too busy, so I never got to dance for you. Let me do it now, okay? Chapter 262 Every day is Important when I’m With You (2) Ch.262 Every day is Important when Im With You (2) Chen Sinan looked at her with a fiery gaze. In the end, he said, Okay. Xin Siyue chose a soft and gentle song. When the music began, she started dancing to it. Her movements were gentle and beautiful, charming. Chen Sinans gaze was trained on her. Her slender legs vaguely revealed itself through the dress and made her look even more charming When the music ended, Xin Siyue slightly sighed. Needless to say, it was a bit difficult to dance in such sexy clothes. Meanwhile, Chen Sinans thoughtful gaze made her extremely nervous. She calmed her breathing and asked, Do I look beautiful? Yes. Chen Sinan answered easily before saying, Come here and eat. His indifferent tone diminished Xin Siyues passion by half. She sat down and watched as Chen Sinan poured red wine into his glass. Then, she said emotionally, I want to drink too. You cant. Why?! Xin Siyue placed her chopsticks down and didnt even bother to look at him. She stared at the candlelight across him and suppressed her emotions. You never care about my feelings. Even if I know youre doing this for my sake, you never ask whether Im willing to follow your way of thinking. Chen Sinan She trembled as she said the last few words. Lately, Chen Sinan had been in a very gloomy mood. Seeing that she finally cut to the chase, he gazed at her to see her shoulders slightly trembling and crying silently. In that moment, his heart softened. Wifey Xin Siyue ignored him and continued to cry silently. Chen Sinan stood up and brought her into his arms. If you want to drink, then go ahead. Xin Siyue wrapped her arms around him. I want a child. Will you give me one? Chen Sinan stayed silent before persisting. Its enough that we have Anan. But I want another child. She can look like you or me. I just Siyue For more, visit novelhall[.]com Chen Sinan, I wont leave again, never. I already died in that world. Im not going anywhere without you. I will be good this time. No! Why? I cant let anything happen to you. Chen Sinan Lets not have another child. Anan is enough, okay? Wifey No. Xin Siyue responded decisively. Chen Sinan reached over to touch her face. In a low voice, If something happens to you, Ill crumble. By then, what should we do with Anan? You still dont believe that Ill be safe and sound. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com No, Im scared of gambling it. Chen Sinan! I will never let you win on this. Xin Siyue spent so much effort and prepared that long, but ended up failing to make Chen Sinan touched. The two werent as close as they were back then because of this matter. Today, Gu Tong arrived at Shengjin City. Xin Siyue and Zhong Qin met up with her. During lunch, Gu Yong mentioned Zhong Qins bulging stomach and then teased Xin Siyue to get another child as well. Xin Siyue said helplessly, I want one, but I dont have a choice. What do you mean? Didnt you already give birth to Anan? Xin Siyue knew that they misunderstood. She explained, Im not talking about my body. I ended up unconscious for a long time after I gave birth to Anan. Chen Sinan doesnt want me to become pregnant again. For more, visit novelhall[.]com The two glanced at each other after they heard her words. Indeed, this helpless and desperate feeling would make one feel on the verge of crumbling down. However, Gu Tong understood Chen Sinan. I think it makes sense why he feels this way. After all, even I felt pitiful towards him when you didnt wake up back then. It wasnt like Zhong Qin could say anything. To Chen Sinan, it goes without saying whether the child or Xin Siyue was more important. Therefore, she put in a few good words. Chen Sinan was worried about you. He wouldnt be able to accept it if something happened to you. Chapter 263 Every day is Important when I’m With You (3) Ch.263 Every day is Important when Im With You (3) Xin Siyue smiled. She understood, but she was sure that shed be fine this time. Xin Siyue was worried for many days. On a certain night when she was looking through information, an idea popped in her mind. Therefore, she went online to google: if your partner doesnt want a child, what do I do to get pregnant? She ended up getting all sorts of strange answers. Xin Siyue looked at the answers and finally found a practical and good working method. Therefore, in the next three months, Chen Sinan noticed that Xin Siyue was much more passionate in bed. She stopped mentioning having a second child with him either. It seemed as though the two never had a cold war. During the lunar New Years eve, Xin Siyue helped prepare a sumptuous New Years Eve family dinner. When everyone gathered around to eat, Chen Chenan who used to take off his red hat was happily opening up the red envelope Grandfather Chen prepared for him. Xin Siyue ladled soup for her. Seeing that he was still holding the red envelope and refusing to let go, she reminded, Anan, look later. Eat first. Chen Chenan hid the red envelope behind her obediently. He said happily, Mommy! Grandfather gave me a big envelope! Then did you thank grandfather? Yes! Everyone heard his response loudly and clearly. They couldnt help but laugh. Hes really a money grubber. Chen Sinan ladled fish soup for Xin Siyue. You should eat as well. Dont mind him. Okay. Xin Siyue smiled. She picked up the soup and took a sip then scrunched her brows. It doesnt taste good? Chen Sinan hurriedly asked when he saw her expression. Xin Siyue shook her head and covered her mouth, hurriedly running to the bathroom. Before the elders could react, Chen Sinan chased after her. In the bathroom, Xin Siyue was trying hard to vomit all the food out. Chen Sinan delivered a glass of water for her to rinse while saying hurriedly, Let me bring you to the hospital! Xin Siyue shook her head. Theres no need. No Xin Siyue held his hands and looked up, her eyes sparkling. My period has been half a month late Chen Sinans expression gloomed. He also noticed this. He parted his lips to ask her, Do you want this child badly? Xin Siyue nodded. I want a daughter and I also thought of the name. Ill name her Chen Chenning. The elders were worried but then got the news that Xin Siyue might be pregnant. After a moment of happiness, they started to feel anxious. Everyone was careful, afraid that Xin Siyue may not eat well or get hurt. After all, shed be pregnant for ten months. However, Xin Siyue didnt mind it at all. She ate and slept whenever. From time to time, she would ask Chen Chenan, Anan, do you want a sister or brother? Without looking back, Chen Chenan replied, Sister while playing. Yet, when Chen Sinan was sleeping with her at night, he didnt dare to move, afraid of touching her stomach. Xin Siyue teased him, Im the pregnant one and Im not even that anxious. Can you not be so nervous? Chen Sinan said nothing. He was really nervous about her, to the point where his hands were covered in sweat when he stood outside of the delivery room. Up until the doctor walked out and announced that mother and daughter were safe. Even then, he didnt feel any less nervous. Xin Siyue watched the nurse carry her daughter over. She smiled and touched her little hands. Mn. She looks extremely like Anan. When the nurse carried the child away, Xin Siyue saw Chen Sinan rush him. She curled her lips up and comforted him, Im okay. Chen Sinan kissed her forehead. In an unsteady voice, I wont let you leave me again this time. I wont leave you. Ill forever be with you. In this life, I have you, the children, and a family. In this life, I hope we can live to old age happily. Chapter 264 The Secret (1) Ch.264 The Secret (1) [Extras: Chen Junxing] The next time Chen Junxing saw Yin Liuyue was January 3rd, the day of their class reunion. Oh, thats not right. It wasnt even considered a class reunion. She and Chen Junxing were elementary school classmates. They were only in the same class when they were in fourth and sixth grade. Although they luckily got into the same middle school, the twos classes were far away from each other. When they graduated from middle school, the two basically parted their ways. She and Chen Junxing hadnt seen each other for decades. Yin Liuyun and a few old classmates had met up. She heard one of the girls talk proudly about the top scorer in the sciences within her university. Her tone was full of pride, arousing Yin Liuyues curiosity. Therefore, she listened in on their conversation. Classmate A said that the top scorer in the sciences was very aloof, but this didnt stop their junior and sisters advancing dauntlessly to deliver love letters. She retold the story emotionally about the one time she witnessed a girl shamelessly stopping Chen Junxing dragging his suitcase and leaving the school after graduation. Classmate A was too far, so she couldnt hear what the junior sister said to Chen Junxing. Chen Junxing who had been silent finally said something. However, she couldnt hear clearly either. In short, Chen Junxing left freely dragging his luggage behind him after he finished. Meanwhile, the girl who confessed and got rejected cried right there. When Classmate A spoke of this, she was really excited. Her facial expression and actions were very accurate and full to the details. After she finished, she added, A lot of us were talking about the type of woman that a proud and aloof man like Chen Junxing would fall in love with Yin Liuyun was planning on taking a sip of her milk tea when her hands almost trembled and spilt it as she heard his name. She steadied herself and asked unbelievably, Youre talking about Chen Junxing, that top scorer in the sciences? Right! Chen Junxing. Liuyue, do you recognize him too? Let me tell you. Hes very handsome and there are countless girls who like him! Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Yin Liuyue didnt mind her classmates questioning gazes as she quickly lowered her head and pretended to drink milk tea. She emphasized her innocence. No, I dont know him. In the next period of time, the classmate didnt mention the previous topic either. Even if Yin Liuyue wanted to know more about Chen Junxing, she controlled herself and stopped herself from asking. The secrets of the past were only suitable to be left in the past. Let it pass. Besides studying in senior year, Yin Liuyue also attended associations and worked part-time jobs. The four years worth of memories seemed to be very long, but it ended in the snap of a finger. The day before they left school, she and her roommates went out to eat dinner. By then, they started sighing and reminiscing about their time in university. One of her roommates threw her arms around her shoulders and asked, Yin Liuyue, I regret not finding a boyfriend in university. How about you? Do you regret this? There were four people in the dorm. Only the two of them stayed single through the entire four years of university. Yin Liuyue suddenly realized. I almost forgot. It is quite regretful. Ah, can you at least act more sincere? Who are you trying to fool with that calm tone? Am I not bitter and hateful enough? Yin Liuyue said innocently. Her roommate responded, Touch your hurt. Doesnt it hurt? Yin Liuyue smiled, saying nothing. It didnt seem that important whether it hurt or not. She only knew that no matter how much time passed, a figure would always appear in her dream late at night, despite his silhouette slowly fading away. She could still remember him deeply. She knew it was him no matter how far he was from her. She found it quite crazy when she recalled the mornings where she became delighted with joy because she had dreamed of him. Yin Liuyue didnt think about spending the rest of her life with anyone. She had a simple plan. When she was of marriageable age and her parents started to urge her to marry and arranged blind dates for her, shed be good and follow their decision. Then, shed get married to a man who was pleasing to the eye and bear his child. Best, shed find someone with a good and gentle personality, someone that doesnt like to drink or smoke, or fight. As long as they could live a peaceful life with her. Chapter 265 The Secret (2) Ch.265 The Secret (2) As for love, she didnt really care. As long as nothing happens. Maybe a day in the future, hed appear in her dreams again. But she thought that as time passed by, Chen Junxing would completely disappear from her memory one day. One day, she would be able to control her emotions and stop thinking of him. She would stop recalling his appearance. Time will put an end to everything. But, why? After all these years, she was still able to bump into him without warning. That girl that was co-renting with Yin Liuyue was Zhou Lian. They were the same age. After Zhou Lian graduated, she became a singer at a bar. She practically lived the opposite life as Yin Liuyue. Therefore, the two didnt get many chances to chat with each other. Yin Liuyue hurried out of the house in the morning. By the time she returned to her apartment around 6pm, she noticed that she had placed the key in her overcoat she wore yesterday. Even more, she hung the overcoat on the clothes hanger in her room. She couldnt get in. Yin Liuyue had no choice but to call Zhou Lian. Zhou Lian picked up quickly, but it was quite noisy on the other side. It felt like she was at a KTV. Yin Liuyue explained the situation to her, then Zhou Lian said, I cant leave right now. If you want to grab the key, come here. After that, she sent her the specific address and the room number. Yin Liuyue walked to the private room, hesitant. She wondered if she should knock on the door when she encountered the other young men planning on entering the private room. One of the men inquired. She said that she was looking for Zhou Lian. Oh, youre looking for Zhou Lian? Shes inside busy rolling dice with someone. Come in. Yin Liuyue originally wanted to ask him to call Zhou Lian. Who knew that the door opened and she was pushed in. She stood by the door and glanced at the messy private room. Men and women grouped together. They were either drinking, chatting, eating, rolling dice, or singing Yet, under the rainbow-colored rotating disco, she clearly saw the man sitting in the center of the long sofa wearing a black woolen sweater. He kept his head down as he looked at his phone. The rotating lights just passed by and the light shone on his face. He slightly tilted his head to avoid the light. Yet, Yin Liuyue stared at him, forgetting her expression. However, she couldnt help but repeat his name over and over. Chen JunxingChen Junxing Zhou Lian, theres a beautiful woman looking for you! The man by her shouted. He turned around to see Yin Liuyue standing there, stunned. She was staring in the direction of Chen Junxing, concentrated. Hey, beautiful woman. Dont just look at that handsome guy! Arent you looking for Zhou Lian? Zhou Lian lost, so her classmates had been trying to get her to drink. She looked up at Yin Liuyue, unable to leave. Therefore, at the top of her lungs, Liuyue, I left the keys in the pocket of my jacket. Its the red overcoat by the door. Grab it yourself. Yin Liuyue was unable to withdraw his gaze from Chen Junxing. She only knew that the man by his side said something in his ears before he looked up at her. However, Yin Liuyue had already turned her head, feeling guilty. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com She hurriedly found Zhou Lians overcoat. As expected, there was a string of keys. She told Zhou Lian that she was leaving now, and she didnt urge her to stay either. Yin Liuyue thanked the man. Before leaving, she slightly tilted her head to glance at the center. Chen Junxing still had his head down, looking at his phone as if he didnt place anything in his heart. After Yin Liuyue closed the doors, her heart felt heavy. She was able to see Chen Junxing again. Was this fates blessing? Hey, Chen Junxing, do you know that beautiful woman? Chen Junxing unhappily responded, Which beautiful woman? after he got interrupted while playing a game. The beautiful woman that came to look for Zhou Lian! I saw you staring at her for a long time as if you had seen your old lover. Who knew Chen Junxing asked, Who is Zhou Lian? This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Zhou Lians smile froze, looking at him. However, Chen Junxing didnt seem to detect it. He stood up and said, Im heading out for a moment. Chapter 266 Time was magical. (1) Ch.266 Time was magical. (1) After Chen Junxing left the private room, he reached for the cigarette in the pocket of his overcoat. He took out the cigarette with his slender finger and played with it for a while before heading to the elevator. As expected, this class reunion was boring, even more boring than he expected. He didnt remember that many peoples names in the high school reunion. After he entered the room, he really wanted to leave. However, he took in the big picture for consideration and decided to stay there for half an hour. There were some people fated to only be strangers in other peoples lives. They wont come back anymore. Time was really magical. After Chen Junxing came out of the elevator, he suddenly remembered what his close friend, Liu Ying, had said. Chen Junxing, when will you stop being like this? If it was up to me, you shouldnt be staying by yourself. You need to attend more events. That way, you can forget her quicker. In the year or more so that she left, he was frequently upsetted. Liu Ying wanted to tell him that one needed to look forward in life. Xin Siyue had already died. There was no way she would ever come back. Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Those that were alive should all the more live a better life. Chen Junxing didnt express any opinion to Liu Yings lengthy speech. Liu Ying wasnt him. He didnt understand the empty feeling in his heart. Chen Junxing glanced at the snow outside. Someone had come to this world and left a mark in his heart. From then on, it was incomparably difficult to wipe away her traces. When Chen Junxing took out his key to prepare to fetch his car, he saw someone standing not far from him. She seemed to be a little familiar. Chen Junxing carefully thought about it before confirming that he didnt know her. As for Yin Liuyue, she never expected to be able to meet him again. Chen Junxing saw that there was a sparkling and translucent light in her eyes; she seemed to be tearing up. He found that strange and subconsciously asked, Miss, do we know each other? After that, he understood why he thought she was familiar. She was the girl that stared fixated at him in the private room. Someone even teased him, saying that she was his old lover. Chen Junxing knew otherwise. When did he have an old lover? Updated from novelhall[.]com After he asked, he noticed that she still stood there like a statue. However, her eyes were sparkling and bright as if they were really old acquaintances. Unexpectedly, she really responded, We know each other, Chen Junxing. She actually knew his name? Chen Junxing lightly smiled and carelessly retorted, Oh? Then who are you? Im Yin Liuyue. You wont remember me. She said this, but her gaze was still glued to him. Yin Liuyue? Chen Junxing searched through the names of his few female friends in his memory, coming up to no result however. Therefore, he responded, I really dont remember. Yin Liuyue awkwardly laughed and turned around, her gaze in front. However, she couldnt enjoy the snow white scene in front of her because the tears in her eyes made it blurry. the snow Yin Liuyue murmured, This is really one-sided. Seeing that Yin Liuyue didnt plan on talking to him anymore, Chen Junxing went to fetch his car. When he drove the car out, he saw her standing alone by the road still. It was quite difficult to hail a taxi when it was snowy, especially when it was the Chinese New Year. Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience As a gentleman, Chen Junxing drove the car to her side and slid the car window down. Miss Yin, do you need a ride? Thank you, but I dont need one. Yin Liuyue noticed that her throat was sour and bitter when she tried talking, mixed with a sobbing tone. Seeing her red ears and nose, and then at her clothesa woolen sweater and a jacket, Chen Junxing surprisingly asked again patiently, Are you sure you dont need one? Yin Liuyue stayed silent. When Chen Junxing planned on driving the car off, she opened the door and slipped in. Chen Junxing muttered to himself as he drove, So what were you being stubborn for before? His voice was really love. Chen Junxing thought that she wouldnt respond, but who knew she said, Im scared that itll be awkward. Awkward how? Yin Liuyue tilted her head and looked out of the window. In an extremely soft voice, Just like before. I remember you but you dont remember me. Since when did we know each other? Since first grade. Yin Liuyue exclaimed. They knew each other from first grade, but the two only got in the same class when they hit fourth grade. But I dont remember. Yin Liuyue tugged the corner of her lips. Its been so many years. Who remembers this anymore? Chen Junxing glanced at her, a faint guess in his heart. There was a possibility for anyone to forget. After all, it had been many years. Yet, she still remembered him. He seemed to understand some of her indescribable thoughts. In the next while, Chen Junxing didnt talk to her. Before she got out of the car, Yin Liuyue thanked him. Chen Junxing also faintly replied, Youre welcome. Yin Liuyue walked ahead, her faint footprints marked in the thin snow. Chapter 267 Time was magical. (2) Ch.267 Time was magical. (2) Through the glass window, Chen Junxing glanced at her petite figure. In the end, he decisively drove the car away. The noises by her ear became further and further away. After Yin Liuyue confirmed that he left, only then did she dare to turn around, lost in thought as she stared at the place where he just stopped his car. After Chinese New Year, Yin Liyues parents started finding blind date candidates for her, eager to get her married. Before the Lantern Festival, Yin Liuyue saw her first blind date candidate. He was part of the senior management in a company. He was thirty-one years old with a roundish figure. After he saw Yin Liuyue, he bragged about his brilliant accomplishment for dozens of minutes. Then, he started talking to her about buying a house. He talked about the prices of the houses and how if she wanted to marry him, he could immediately buy a house with xx square meters Yin Liuyue smiled the entire time. All she was thinking about was how to get out of this situation. She tolerated his speech for an hour before her phone rang. She picked it up and her expression changed completely. How did this happen? Im coming over right away! That man wanted to say something when Yin Liuyue grabbed her bag and said, Sorry, I have an urgent matter. Im leaving now! Before he could say anything, she immediately left. Hey, what are you looking at? Liu Ying watched as Chen Junxing glanced downstairs a couple of times while they were eating. Therefore, he inquired. Nothing. I just thought I saw someone familiar. Guy or girl? You dont know them. Oh? Liu Ying asked meaningfully, A girl? Chen Junxing ignored him. At the same time that he withdrew his gaze, he made a curious guess inside his heart. Yin Liuyue was on a blind date? Chen Junxing encountered Yin Liuyue in this restaurant again, three weeks later. The moment he entered, he noticed her existence. She was still at the seat by the window, but her date changed. The man was slightly better than the one from last time. Of course, just a bit. The one today was a bit taller and skinnier, and he had an ordinary and proper appearance. Chen Junxing sat behind her. When they were ordering food, he unintentionally heard the tall and skinny man say, I earn at least 10,000 a month. How about you? How much do you earn a month? Yin Liuyue actually responded, Not much. Just a few thousand. Really? Then that is a bit pitiful. Miss Yin, right? I dont have that many requirements for my partner. I just want them to be good-looking, tall, and skinny. You fit my requirements. However, its best if my partner has properties and cars. You know that its very difficult to buy cars and houses in the city for people with poor economic conditions. I dont require that much. You must know, right? Therefore, Miss Ye, do you have any properties and cars? Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Yin Liuyue slightly smiled. Thats regretful. I dont have any cars or properties. Oh right, I got a loan of a few hundred thousands from the bank last week. I still owe the bank a lot of money now! That man asked in alarm, Why did you borrow so much money? To buy bags! Theres a global limited edition that I want. Whenever Im in a bad mood, I want to buy bags. To women, shopping fixes everything! That man looked at her as if he had eaten a fly. He picked up his jacket and hurriedly said, Miss Ye, I still have some matters to attend, so Ill have to get going now. Why dont you wait for the waiter to serve food and leave after eating? Its fine, its fine! Yin Liuyue watched him run off quickly and she couldnt help but laugh. While waiting for food, she called her best friend, Ou Yang. Half-jokingly, Didnt you say there are a lot of men in the world? How come Ive only met strange people since Ive gone on blind dates? Ou Yang lazily responded, I think you just have high requirements. I dont have any requirements. Yin Liuyue argued, As long as I find them pleasing to the eye. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com The highest requirement is not having any. Ou Yang responded, Stop comparing them to your lover in your dream. I didnt compare them to him. You know whether or not you did. Also, stop thinking about the impossible. Maybe he already got married and has a family. Stop thinking about him Yin Liuyue slightly sighed. I really wasnt thinking of Chen Junxing. I just met him that day and dreamed of him twice. I havent thought of him since. Cough, cough! Chen Junxing who was behind them accidentally choked when he heard that. As he grabbed a napkin to wipe the corner of his lips, he silently said to himself: Im actually the lover in her dream? Yin Liuyue was still talking to Ou Yang about the blind dates. Ou Yang advised her to not be so impatient. After all, she had been single for so many years. It wasnt that easy to find a suitable partner that quickly. Yin Liuyue also felt the same. I think I may as well find a random person on the street and get married to him. Chapter 268 Mn. He knew that Yin Liuyue liked him. (1) Ch.268 Mn. He knew that Yin Liuyue liked him. (1) After Yin Liuyue hung up, she looked through her social circle on WeChat out of boredom. Besides advertisement, there was only advertisement however. Even if there were some friends who recorded moments of their lives, they either took excessively many pictures of foods or their children. Yin Liuyue carefully thought about it before realizing that the majority of her female friends were married. Only Ou Yang still wasnt. The two of them were worthy of being best friends. Yin Liuyue sent Ou Yang a message, and she responded with Get lost! She secretly smiled at her response. The waiter hadnt served her any food yet, so she planned on going to the bathroom, taking her purse along. Who knew that she just turned around to walk a few steps when she noticed that the person leaning against the other side of the sofa was the person he was most familiar with. Chen Junxing? Yin Liuyue blurted out his name. After that, she realized and wondered why she did everything on instinct. At this time, shouldnt she pretend that she didnt know him and just secretly go around him to the bathroom? Wait! After Jun Liuyue finished regretting, she suddenly thought of something scary. She hoped that her guess wasnt true. Howhow long have you been here? Chen Junxings gaze shifted from the menu. He looked up and at her, purposely saying the truth, Ive been here before your blind date left. Updated from novelhall[.]com Yin Liuyues expression froze. Soso, you heard it all? Chen Junxing slowly closed the menu and retorted, Hear what? Yin Liuyue awkwardly laughed and clutched her purse tightly. She didnt even dare to look at him. In a low voice, Im going to the bathroom. Then, she hurriedly left. The water flowed out from the sink. Yin Liuyue washed her hands, absent-mindedly. She really wanted to splash the water on her face. Mn. To wake herself. But when she left this morning, she specially applied heavy makeup. She was too lazy to reapply it if she got rid of it. Just hold on Yin Liuyue told herself. Ah, why are you so dumb? She had just exposed her secret that she had been keeping in for so many years just like that. Yin Liuyue really wanted to escape, but her food wasnt here nor did she pay the bill. Even if she didnt eat, Chen Junxing would definitely see her when she went to pay the bill at the counter. No matter what, she would be losing face, no? This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Yin Liuyue tried to convince herself mentally for a long time. By the time she shamelessly returned, she noticed that Chen Junxing wasnt in his original position, so she sighed a breath of relief. She prepared to head back to her seat when she noticed that he was sitting in her seat. She stood by his side, asking in confusion, Whywhy are you sitting here? Chen Junxing faintly said, Youre here alone and Im here alone too. Can we not eat together? Yin Liuyue tugged the corner of her lips, not answering. Sure, sure. Whatever you say. She took in a deep breath and sat down stiffly. The two sat together but there was nothing to talk about. After the waiter came with their food, Chen Junxing asked, You want to get married that badly? Hm? Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Chen Junxing motioned the seat he was in. You sat here last time too. Yin Liuyue was really embarrassed this time. Adonis, can you not expose the truth? She poked her bowl, replying lowly, Yeah. What gave you the courage to face those strange men calmly? Chen Family had gotten him several blind dates in the past year. A pity that he wasnt interested however. He had disobeyed them quite often. Although he agreed on the surface, he didnt show up the second day. After this happened many times, Chen Familys elders couldnt do anything about him either. Chapter 269 Mn. He knew that Yin Liuyue liked him. (2) Ch.269 Mn. He knew that Yin Liuyue liked him. (2) To Chen Junxing, blind dates are like a fantasy story, unrealistic. He found it funny how people expected two people that knew nothing about each other to become interested and invested in one another just after one meeting. He asked in a serious tone, but Yin Liuyue found the question strange. Because I dont have a boyfriend and my family is anxious to get me married. If I dont go on blind dates, how am I supposed to get a partner? Chen Junxing seemingly believed her and nodded. He poured cold water on her, But your blind dates dont seem that good. Yin Liuyue felt stabbed. Its fine. Ill be able to find someone I like probably after a few more times. Chen Junxing lightly smiled. Mhm, youre quite optimistic. Yin Liuyue looked up at him, in deep thought. Then, she lowered her head to eat, staying silent. She didnt understand why he was sitting here and eating with her. She also didnt understand why he didnt ask about her. He clearly heard her talking to Ou Yang about him, no? Since he knows that she likes him, why didnt he ask about it? Yin Liuyue finished this tasteless meal absent-mindedly. When it was over, she wanted to pay, but the waiter said that it had already been paid for. She turned around to look at Chen Junxing and he just returned her gaze. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Yin Liuyue found it embarrassing, so she hurriedly said, Ill treat you out next time. Who knew that Chen Junxing rejected her directly. Its okay. I dont think well see each other in the future anyway. He pushed the door and left the restaurant. Yin Liuyue watched as he walked ahead of her, and she subconsciously called out, Wait! Hm? Chen Junxing stopped and looked at her. Iyou Yin Liuyue originally wanted to question why he pretended like he heard nothing when he did. She also wanted to tell him that she had in fact liked him for many years. She really wanted to ask if she could pursue him too. Even if it didnt work out in the end. At least let her try. However, her words got stuck in her mouth when she encountered his deep gaze. She took a step back. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com After seeing the faint translucent glow in her eyes and hearing her silence, Chen Junxing still asked out of kindness, You need something? Nonothing. Yin Liuyue tugged the corner of her lips up fakely. After seeing that he left, the smile on her face gradually faded. She knew that Chen Junxing was smart. When he chose to turn a deaf ear, it meant that he didnt care. Yin Liuyue, as expected, you shouldnt be fantasizing about your adonis. In the next few days, Yin Liuyue still lived a normal life. She went to work and got off work as usual. Additionally, she still attended blind dates. However, even she became suspicious of what was going on after a few failed attempts. Today, she went to shop alone. While looking at clothes, she sent Ou Yang a message. Who knew that she accidentally bumped into the person ahead. Yin Liuyue only got time to see the pink corner of a womans skirt. While saying sorry, she helped her pick up her shopping bags. Instead of helping her, she actually crossed her arms over her chest and raised her chin when Yin Liuyue delivered the shopping bags to her, saying in an arrogant and overbearing tone, Are you blind?! You just bumped right into me! Can you assume the responsibility if I fall because of you? Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Yin Liuyue blinked her eyes, speechless. Miss, its my fault for looking at my phone while walking. However, I already apologized to you. Plus, I even helped you pick up everything that dropped on the ground. I dont think you need to speak that rudely. Chapter 270 Mn. He knew that Yin Liuyue liked him. (3) Ch.270 Mn. He knew that Yin Liuyue liked him. (3) Im speaking rudely? The woman pointed at herself and said angrily, Do you know who I am? You dare to talk to me like this! I dont know who you are nor do I want to! Miss, please take your things. I dont want to talk to you anymore. This is the first time Ive seen such a confident person after bumping into someone. This is the first time Ive seen someone like you too. You Momo, what are you doing? A male voice suddenly inquired. Cousin! You came in time! Why did I encounter someone like her the moment I returned to the country? She doesnt even have any manners! Shes being rude despite being the one that bumped into me! Cousin, you need to bring me justice! Seeing Liu Ying walking over, the Momo girl hurriedly complained, raising her voice. Whats the matter? Liu Ying glanced at Yin Liuyue whose hands were full from carrying shopping bags, asking while knitting his brows. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience How could he not know his cousins personality after accompanying her for the past few days? Yin Liuyue didnt even look at the man that came. She smiled and said to the woman in front of her, I find it strange too. How come I met someone like you the moment I left the house? It seems like youve been abroad for too long that youve forgotten some of the virtues of your own country. Hey! My name is not hey. Yin Liuyue tossed the shopping bags back to the man, wearing an unfriendly expression. I wont talk to reason with an unreasonable person. Who are you calling unreasonable? You. Yin Liuyue said bluntly. Who knew that she just handed the troublesome shopping bags over and raised her head to see the man standing by the womans cousins side. He was actually Chen Junxing and he was watching the show with a smile. You Yin Liuyue was suddenly at a loss for words. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Chen Junxing placed his hands into the pockets of his black overcoat. He seemingly teased her, There is actually a time where you dont stutter, ah. Mn, quite amazing. Yin Liuyue wanted to dig a pit and bury herself after hearing his words. He was definitely not praising her for having a glib tongue. But the only reason why she was at a loss for words was because he was the one talking to her! Liu Ying asked strangely, You guys know each other? Clearly, the question was for Chen Junxing. Mhm. Chen Junxing admitted, Apparently we were elementary school classmates. Apparently? Liu Ying glanced at him. You guys were apparently elementary school classmates? Chen Junxing smiled, saying nothing. Yin Liuyue didnt dare to look at him anymore. She hurriedly said, I have to go. After that, she hastily left. Liu Yings cousin didnt let her however. Cousin, she was the one that bumped into me first. How can you just let her leave like that? This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Liu Ying wanted to scold her, but who knew Chen Junxing said, Thats because you were being rude and insulted her first. Otherwise, with her ostrich-like personality, why would she get into a fight? Seeing that Chen Junxing actually spoke up for Yin Liuyue, Momo shut up. Liu Ying turned around and asked meaningfully, Didnt you say you guys were apparently elementary school classmates? How come you know her that well? I dont know. Chen Junxing said the truth. If you dont know her, why did you say that? Why do I feel like you guys have a thing? Chen Junxing smiled. How can you tell? With my eyes! See how she is avoiding your gaze? She is clearly feeling guilty. As for why, hehe, you should know, no? Chen Junxing looked and ignored him. Yes, he knew that Yin Liuyue liked him and seemingly for many years. However, he had no memory of her and knew nothing about he Chapter 271 Apparently, She Wanted to get Married But He didn’t. Ch.271 Apparently, She Wanted to get Married But He didnt. Despite Liu Ying trying to get information out of Chen Junxing a few times after they went back, Chen Junxing only said that he and Yin Liuyue were just elementary school classmates. Seeing that he couldnt get anything out of him, Liu Ying left disappointed. The next time Chen Junxing saw Yin Liuyue again was in the same restaurant, and at the same seat. However, when he went in, he noticed that there wasnt a guy sitting across from him. Chen Junxing stared at her and he was about to go when he saw a man wearing a suit hurry in. He was also carrying a briefcase in his hands. He watched as the man looked around and then walked to Yin Liuyue who was wearing a red jacket today. The two chatted for a bit before the man naturally sat in the seat across from her. Chen Junxing stared at her for a bit. As he left, he softly chuckled in his heart. She always chooses the same place and seat for her blind dates. What is wrong with her? Chen Junxing drove the car and left, swearing that he would never come to this restaurant anymore. However, fate didnt let him. Early July, a financial and economics magazine made an appointment to interview him. However, the person that came was actually Yin Liuyue. By the time the staff was present, Chen Junxing coincidentally had to discuss some matters with people. Therefore, the assistant in the company invited Yin Liuyue to the conference room. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience By the time Chen Junxing finished dealing with his matters and pushed the door in, he saw a person with his back from him talking to someone in a low voice. That skinny figure looked a bit familiar. Yin Liuyue wore a white shirt with a black tight skirt, making her waist appear extra slender. Hearing the sound, she turned around to see Chen Junxing standing by the door doing nothing. She slightly raised her chin and gave him a polite business smile. She extended her hand and introduced herself, Hi, President Chen. I am Yin Liuyue, the person in charge of this interview. Chen Junxing watched as she extended her fair and slender hands then at the unbreakable smile on her exquisite face. He suddenly felt a bit disgusted. Was it because he had seen her bare face in the past that he started to dislike her putting on foundation and red lipsticks? Yin Liuyue also detected the awkward atmosphere. The smile on her face became more forced. Chen Junxing didnt walk in, but he asked, Youre a staff in their magazine company? Yin Liuyue nodded. She only knew that the influential person that she had to interview was Chen Junxing two days after she accepted the task. Therefore, she stayed up all night to look at all the information her editor in chief tossed at her, cramming. She was scared that she might miss a crucial moment. Even if it was mostly about his work. For more, visit novelhall[.]com Seeing his countless accomplishments, she felt really proud. The person that she secretly liked had always been this outstanding. Yin Liuyue added after seeing that he kept quiet even after he nodded, If you dont want me to conduct the interview, I can Its fine. Chen Junxing waved his hands and walked around her, going inside. As he walked past her shoulder, he seemingly said to himself, I didnt know youre also a reporter. Yin Liuyue didnt understand. She thought that he didnt like reporters as a profession. After all, rarely any people succeeded in getting an interview from him. She didnt understand how the higher ups had persuaded him as well. Yin Liuyue saw that he still wasnt that interested, but seeing that he hadnt rejected her, she said, President Chen, if there are no issues, lets begin twenty minutes later. Chen Junxing heard this and looked at her, smiling a faint smile. Yin Liuyue didnt understand however. Chen Junxing suddenly said, I think Reporter Yin is really a good reporter. You have great foresight. You act according to the person you see. Yin Liuyues heart felt cold, knowing that he was mentioning the time she ridiculed the girl. She awkwardly smiled and said, I didnt have a choice. Sometimes, even if Im unwilling, I have to do that. Like how she politely called him President Chen in front of her other colleagues. Chen Junxing seemingly smiled before asking, Have your blind dates been successful? Hm? Yin Liuyue didnt understand why he mentioned this. She was stunned for a moment before she responded, There hasnt been much development. Then thats really a pity. Miss Yin probably has gone on multiple blind dates, but you still havent found someone you like. Yin Liuyue tugged the corner of her lips. It was really awkward this time. Seeing that her expression changed slightly, Chen Junxing knew that he had been a bit excessive. But he didnt understand why he felt resentful and upset since he walked in. Was he angry that she purposely tried to get closer to him? But the person who asked for an interview was his friends friend. Was he angry that she called him President Chen? This content is taken from novelhall[.]com There was nothing wrong with this either! So why exactly was he angry?! The annoyed Chen Junxing watched as she lowered her head to look at her script, extremely unwilling to chat with him. Therefore, he kept his mouth shut too. One could imagine how stiff and difficult the interview was when one person was moody and the other was absent-minded. At least from Yin Liuyues perspective, this was her worst performance in work! She finally lasted until the end. When Yin Liuyue asked about his life goal, Chen Junxing responded simply, To always improve. How about besides work? Other than that? Chen Junxing lightly smiled, unable to contain the teasing glint in his eyes. He retorted, Which aspect is Miss Yin referring to? Yin Liuyue had been carefully recording this so she kept her head down and casually replied, In terms of family or relationships Who knew that Chen Junxing asked, Miss Yin, are you trying to ask if Im married yet? Or if Im currently single? Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Hm? It was different from the answers she imagined, making her look at him in surprise. Chen Junxing looked at her and continued, I am currently single and dont have any plans to get married. Oh. Yin Liuyue lowered her head and recorded this, but she had an instinct in her heart that he was trying to tell her that even if he was single, she had no hope, right? So, from his perspective, she was eager to get married while he didnt want to get married at all. Yin Liuyue agreed. After all, their paths never intersected. Chapter 272 You Don’t Like Me, and You Won’t Like Me Either. (1) Ch.272 You Dont Like Me, and You Wont Like Me Either. (1) The interview ended. Yin Liuyue had her other colleagues head back first, saying that she needed to confirm some details with Chen Junxing first. The colleagues heard their conversation as well, so they knew that the two knew each other personally. When they left, they deliberately stared at Yin Liuyue and Chen Junxing. On the way back, they discussed behind Yin Liuyues back, Reporter Yin is quite amazing for latching onto Chen Junxings thigh! It seems like our magazine company cant keep her anymore. After all, were just a small magazine company. Thats right. See, its good that shes young and beautiful. Chen Junxing is Mayor Chens only son. She doesnt need worry about anything once she marries into the Chen Family, this noble and influential family. Plus, liking Chen Junxing, this handsome and talented guy, is like a moth flying into the flames. Its best that Reporter Yin is capable and can catch his heart. Dont end up losing his interest and her job in the end! Who said Unknowingly, Yin Liuyue became someone that worked hard to climb up the social ladder in her colleagues eyes. In the quiet conference room, Chen Junxing and her were the only ones left. She was in deep thought, wondering if she should make some things clear. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Chen Junxing sat in front of her. With one hand under his chin, he said with intent, Miss Yin, didnt you say you have something to talk to me about? Now that were the only ones left, you end up being silent. Yin Liuyue looked at him and suddenly laughed. Chen Junxing, youre smart like always. Is that so? Youre not going to pretend anymore? Youre not going to call me President Chen too? Chen Junxing retorted. If you didnt like me calling you President Chen, then I apologize. But my colleagues are present. Im not sure what I should call you if not President Chen. After all, you think that Im purposely approaching you with a motive. Chen Junxings gaze flickered, saying nothing. She actually saw through it? Yin Liuyue smiled. Although my grades were never as good as yours, I always worked hard with the goal to surpass you when I was in elementary school. I noticed our distance when I realized how easily you were able to obtain good grades when I had to study hard and with difficulty. When I was at the restaurant that day, you mustve heard my conversation with my best friend. Thats right. I like you. I have liked you for so many years. You dont need to guard against me. You dont like me and you wont like me either. All your actions have proven that I dont even have the chance to pursue you. Chen Junxing, I actually regret liking you because I realized that my youthful and ignorant fondness of you has to be buried in the past. Id only be covered in cuts and bruises if I revisit that. Therefore, I hope that we dont need to meet each other anymore. After that, she stood up and smiled charmingly. Sorry for causing you trouble. Ill try to finish writing the draft of the interview quickly when I head back and Ill send it to your email when Im done. If you find emails to be inconvenient, I can have my editor in chief personally contact you too. Chen Junxing looked at her and delivered a business card. Im not the type of person to mix personal and business matters. Yin Liuyue smiled. When she reached over to grab it, she said in an alienated tone, Thanks for cooperating today. Chen Junxing smiled and said nothing. Chapter 273 You Don’t Like Me, and You Won’t Like Me Either. (2) Ch.273 You Dont Like Me, and You Wont Like Me Either. (2) After Yin Liuyue returned, she stayed up the entire night to get a rough draft out. She showed it to her editor in charge the second day, but she was a little displeased. The content is pretty good, but it doesnt mention that much about Chen Junxings relationships. Why dont you add a bit about that wherever you see fit? Yin Liuyue felt like she was in a difficult situation since she needed to fix the draft again. She really didnt dare to inquire about Chen Junxings relationship. Back then, she felt like if she dared to ask him that question, he wouldve fallen out with her right then. Under desperation, she could only fix it according to her imagination. Therefore, when Chen Junxing received the initial draft and saw that he apparently didnt have time to date anyone because he was focused on his career, and that hed spend the upcoming period on work as well, he sent her an email. You really understand me, Miss Yin. Yin Liuyue saw this email just before she was about to sleep. She naturally knew that Chen Junxing was mocking her. She said to herself, You speak really highly of me. Since when do I understand you? How dare I? She muttered this but she typed out, Mr. Chen, are there any issues? If there are, you can mark it down. I will fix it. Chen Junxing glanced at her business-like response and smiled. He replied, The entire draft has issues! Not long after she sent the email, she refreshed it to see a new reply. She almost fainted from anger. She spent so much effort in writing this, yet he found it unacceptable? Mr. Chen, where are the issues? There are issues everywhere. I just told you. Chen Junxing! What? Yin Liuyue was really anxious and mad. She rummaged through her cabinet and found his business card, dialing the number on it. It rang once before it went through. She said immediately, Chen Junxing, can you not cause me trouble? Even if I hurt your dignity the other day and made you feel like you lost your face, you dont need to hold a grudge for that long. Oh, so you knew that you made me lose my face the other day too? Chen Junxing, if youre angry, I can apologize to you, okay? Please dont make things difficult for me at work. Didnt you say you dont mix personal and business matters? You think Im making things difficult for you? Are you not? Chen Junxing smiled. I genuinely think the draft isnt that good. Im not targeting you. Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Yin Liuyue clenched her teeth and said, Ill fix it. Whatever. Bye. Yin Liuyue hung up right after. Chen Junxing glanced at the phone number and thought about it. After a moment of hesitation, he clicked save in the end. Yin Liuyue fixed the draft about a total of a dozen times or so before Chen Junxing reluctantly deemed it passable. Yin Liuyue really wanted to thank him and she politely did in the end. Yet, Chen Junxing asked, Youre just thanking me like that? Yin Liuyue knitted her brows and asked on alert, What else do you want to do then? You should at least treat me to a meal. Yin Liuyue responded, I think we wont have an opportunity to dine together. How do you know you wont have an opportunity if you dont invite me? Yin Liuyue was speechless, but she noticed that she didnt even want to eat with him anymore. As expected, it was better to enjoy his handsome face from a distance. Chapter 274 But Chen Junxing Lived A Very Tragic Life Even After She Died (1) Ch.274 But Chen Junxing Lived A Very Tragic Life Even After She Died (1) Yin Liuyue didnt understand her thoughts. After she confessed to Ou Yang, the latter asked her, Isnt he the adonis youve been dreaming of all these years? Why arent you treating him to a meal now that he lets you? Yin Liuyue sighed. Maybe adonis-like guys should only exist in dreams. You can only fantasize about them, but you cant think about them in reality. She only talked to Chen Junxing a few times, but she noticed that he had a poisonous tongue. Not only this, he didnt even bother to give her face towards someone of the opposite gender that held delusional thoughts about him. Yin Liuyue thought that she still wasnt strong enough to receive his hits. Ou Young found this strange. So you just like the hazy distant feeling you get from liking someone all these years? Yin Liuyue had nothing to say. Ou Yang continued, Liuyue, Ive known you for a long time. I know better than anyone else that youve a devoted lover. If its really impossible between you and Chen Junxing, then how long would it take for you to develop feelings for someone else? Liuyue, I think youre just lying to yourself. Youre just trying to find a way out. Yin Liuyue smiled and said, Youre right. Im trying my best to convince myself and find Chen Junxings shortcomings, wanting to let myself get over him. However, how long would it take for her to get over him? Updated from novelhall[.]com He didnt remember her. He didnt like her. His accomplishments and background made it clear to her that she was unworthy of him. Chen Junxing deserved better. She saw through everything and told herself time after time that she shouldnt hold any delusional thoughts. However, she could never stop herself. She didnt want to think about him. But she would frequently think of him. Sometimes, she would wake up in the middle of the night and notice that she dreamed of his voice and appearance. After she realized how his gentleness made her delighted with joy in her dream, Yin Liuyue always felt very upset. She had to endure the pain of the difference between her dream and reality by herself until the morning. Yin Liuyue, stop liking Chen Junxing. Its too painful. She told herself time after time. After the draft of the interview was published, it received pretty good reviews. The editor in charge also complimented her, saying that it was the best draft she had written since she joined. She smiled and said, It seems like President Chen has a lot of charm! Yin Liuyue smiled because she noticed that not only were Chen Junxings and her foresight on two different levels, she noticed that after following his strict requirements, it showed just how bad the drafts she wrote in the past were! Chen Junxing seemed to have taught her something. If you couldnt keep on perfecting something that was already outstanding at work, then you couldnt improve. This time, blessed by the drafts, Yin Liuyue even received a great sum of award money. While she was at it, she decided to use her few days of annual vacation, planning to go out and travel for a bit. Who knew that she encountered someone at the boarding area of the airport. Although she only met him once, Yin Liuyue didnt know how he recognized her right away. Liu Ying dragged his suitcase behind him, standing there. He asked unexpectedly, Youre Chen Junxings elementary school classmate right? Hm? You are? Yin Liuyue was shocked. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com You dont remember me? I was at the shopping mall that day and my cousin After he reminded her, she recalled him. At that time, Chen Junxing was standing by him. Youre his friend? Chapter 275 But Chen Junxing Lived A Very Tragic Life Even After She Died (2) Ch.275 But Chen Junxing Lived A Very Tragic Life Even After She Died (2) Not just friends! Were good brothers. Oh. Yin Linyue said that and lowered her head to look at her phone. Liu Ying guessed, Youre waiting for Chen Junxings call? Hm? No. He wouldnt call her. Thinking of this, Yin Liuyue added, He doesnt know that Im heading out and were not that close either. Heh. Liu Ying disagreed otherwise. Even so, I dont believe you. I have precise judgment of people. Youre the second person that I think has a thing with Chen Junxing. The reporter back then Hm? Liu Ying said halfway before suddenly stopping. Yin Liuyue looked at him confusedly. Liu Ying awkwardly laughed. I think I said something I shouldnt have. Yin Liuyues instinct was that it had to do with Chen Junxing, but she didnt want to make things difficult for him either. If its inconvenient, you dont say it. Liu Ying looked at her and sighed. As his brother, I wish he could quickly walk out of this trauma. Liu Ying sat besides her and said to himself, He liked someone in the past. That person was also a reporter named Xin Siyue. However, before he could confess, she went to the earthquake disaster area. Then, there was an earthquake aftershock and she was unable to escape in time. Unfortunately, she died. I personally watched as Chen Junxing had gone crazy and used all his connections to try to find her at the disaster area. But by the time he found her, she was covered in blood. Liu Ying recalled the past and thought that Xin Siyue was very pitiful. In a deep and heavy voice, he said, He carried her body out and that was the first time Ive seen him cry. That woman died very tragically. Lin Ying paused and then added, Chen Junxing also lived a very tragic life after she died. Yin Liuyues eyes teared up and she squeezed out in a sour and bitter tone, Why are you telling me this? Liu Ying looked at her. Because I dont want my brother to be upset forever. I wish someone could give him new hope and happiness, and I am placing all my bets on you. The plane took off. Yin Liuyue glanced at the vast blue sky. She originally wanted to relax herself but her heart felt heavy now. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com She felt like Liu Ying thought too highly of her. She wasnt the person that unfortunately died. Chen Junxing didnt like her. Plus, there was someone in his heart. Before he gets over her, how could she possibly capture his heart? Meanwhile, Liu Ying gave Chen Junxing a call after he watched Yin Liuyue board the plane. I saw your elementary school classmate. What elementary school classmate? Your apparently elementary school classmate. Yin Liuyue? Updated from novelhall[.]com Probably. The one my cousin encountered. How did you encounter her? I encountered her at the airport, and she seems to be in a bad mood. I even told her about you. Chen Junxing faintly detected where this was going. You told her about Xin Siyue? Yes. Liu Ying! Since when did I give you the right to intervene in my matters? Who is she to me? Why did you decide to tell her without letting me know?! Junxing, look at you. You get angry whenever Xin Siyue is mentioned. Its been a long time. Youre the one that cant accept the truth. When exactly can you get over her? Slap. Chapter 276 He Needed to Start His New Life. Ch.276 He Needed to Start His New Life. After Yin Liuyue settled in her hotel, she sat in her room for a long time alone. When nightfall came, she gave Chen Junxing a call. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. Yin Liuyue stayed silent for a while before calling a second time. It rang for a while before he answered. Hello? Chen Junxings voice was a bit hoarse. Youre drinking? Yin Liuyue could tell that his voice didnt sound right. I drank a bit, but Im still sober. Yin Liuyue didnt know what to say after hearing his words. Both sides were silent for a while before Yin Liuyue said, Chen Junxing, I like you. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience I know. And then? I told myself to give up on you, but Ive thought a lot about this. I noticed that I still couldnt give up on you. What do you want to say? I dont know what I want to say either. Yin Liuyue said, Even if you say nothing on the call, I am still satisfied. Chen Junxing didnt respond even after a while. Yin Liuyue said, Sorry. Why are you apologizing? Sorry for causing you so much trouble. I cant bring you happiness, but you cant get rid of me even if you want. Heh. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Chen Junxing Hm? Chen Junxing Chen Junxing Dont drink that much. Its bad for you. Goodnight. Yin Liuyue had planned this vacation for a long time. The only difference was that whenever she captured beautiful scenes, she would send it to Chen Junxing through MMS. After a few times, Chen Junxing finally reacted. He replied, Dont send me these pictures in the future. Oh. Yin Liuyue couldnt help but feel down when she saw the message. Who knew that her feeling only lasted a few minutes before Chen Junxing sent her his account number, and added, Add my WeChat. Yin Liuyue didnt know how to describe the feeling of ascending to heaven all of a sudden. She glanced at the account number for a while before she replied with trembling fingers, Okay. She actually obtained Chen Junxings account number! Every day after, Yin Liuyue racked her brains to find a topic to talk to Chen Junxing about. However, she didnt want to make it seem too intentional or too sensitive. Therefore, in a short month, Yin Liuyue felt as if she ran out of brain cells. There were times when Chen Junxing didnt even reply. Gradually, she gradually went from messaging him every day to every other day, or every few days. Chen Junxing responded sporadically. Today, Yin Liuyue sent Chen Junxing a message after she ended her call with her parents in a bad mood. I almost fought with my parents. Chen Junxing still hadnt responded after a few minutes. Yin Liuyue added, Because they want me to go on a blind date. This time, Chen Junxing surprisingly replied, Oh, then go ahead. Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience But I dont want to go. I rejected them. My parents have been brainwashing me for a long time. Did they succeed? No! A smile crept on her face again. Because I have something more important to do. Really? Yes. Are you free tonight? Lets watch a movie. Chen Junxing hadnt responded a long time after her message. Up until the evening did he suddenly call her. Hi. When Yin Liuyue answered it, she noticed that her heart was thumping rapidly for the first time in forever. She didnt know why she was that nervous! Chen Junxing replied on the other end, Its me. Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Yeah. Its better if I invite you to a movie. What time are you free? Ill come and pick you up. Hm? Youre busy? Oh, no! I am free in half an hour. Ill send you my location. Oh, okay. Long after Yin Liuyue hung up, she still hadnt snapped out of her trance. After a while, she suddenly jumped up and rummaged through her drawers for clothes. Meanwhile, Chen Junxing glanced at his call record. Under Yin Liuyues name was his fathers. His father told him to find a partner soon and stop thinking about rubbish. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Chen Junxing gave them ambiguous and half-hearted answers. When he hung up, the first person he thought of was Yin Liuyue. He thought that maybe everyone was right. He needed to start a new life. [Chen Junxings extra: completed.] July 25, 2017, 13:30. Chapter 277 Gu Tong, Xia Qiao, and Mao Shiyuan. (1) Ch.277 Gu Tong, Xia Qiao, and Mao Shiyuan. (1) Five years later, Gu Tong attended the class reunion. What she didnt expect was that Xia Qiao, who normally didnt like to show up, also came. But compared to the lonely Gu Tong, Xia Qiao had a beauty in his arms. The moment he came in, Gu Tong had stared at him for a while. It was a class reunion for people of the same profession. However, he showed up with his girlfriend. Just how much does he love her? Despite seeing her fiery and passionate gaze, Xia Qiao didnt even look at her except for the time he unintentionally caught her gaze after entering the private room. Even more, he seemed to be avoiding her gaze now. Gu Tong sat in the corner, drinking glass after glass of wine. She felt defeated whenever she saw Xia Qiao. She had shamelessly pursued him for a long time, but she failed. Because he didnt like her, he wasnt moved. Later on, there was a new colleague in Gu Tongs workplace. They ended up living together. Gu Tong enthusiastically told her about the situation and the colleague was really grateful to her as a result. The two lived quite harmoniously together. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Once, that colleague told her how she encountered her crush from middle school during the Chinese New Year. The second day after they encountered each other, the man personally invited her out for a meal, but she rejected him. Gu Tong asked her why. She said that she couldnt tell that he had any feelings for her through his words. He was just alone in a foreign place when he encountered someone familiar. Naturally, he wanted to get close to her. Gu Tong asked her how she felt about the man right now. She said she still had feelings for him. Gu Tong didnt understand. Then why dont you take this chance to try and date him? She remembered her colleagues reply. I am unwilling to pursue a man. The moment a girl takes the initiative, theyll be lowering their statuses. I rather stay single than to pursue him. Gu Tong was guilty and didnt know what to say after she finished hearing it. That was because she thought the exact opposite. Gu Tong thought that she needed to take the initiative to fight for what she wanted, including love. If you dont take the initiative, no one would ever know your thoughts. Of course, there was a scenario where you obtain nothing from taking the initiative. Like her and Xia Qiao. Even if she was covered in cuts and bruises, and couldnt be friends, Gu Tong was still willing. She worked hard for her future, but she was unfortunate. She was one of the many that failed. Gu Tong thought a lot, but her gaze had been on Xia Qiao and his girlfriend. He delivered a glass of juice to her. She took a sip and knitted her brows, saying that she didnt like that flavor, so Xia Qiao changed the flavor for her. When they were eating, he only focused on himself and didnt grab any food for her. His girlfriend tossed her chopsticks and acted childish and spoiled in front of everyone, wrapping her arms around him. Dear, youre not paying attention to me! Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Xia Qiao kept his head down and started grabbing food for her. I want that and that. I like eating that! And this, this one too! Xia Qiao paused before following her words. The entire table full of people were shocked. They all started teasing Xia Qiao, saying that they were jealous of his girlfriend. Xia Qiao smiled and said nothing, but he didnt seem that happy either. Gu Tong sat at the table across from his. Seeing this, she smiled and said, This is quite interesting. They decided to go karaoking after eating. Xia Qiaos girlfriend pulled on his arms. I want to sing this. Choose it for me! You have to sing with me later. Xia Qiao said helplessly, Im not singing. You can sing alone. No! You have to sing with me. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Gu Tong sat not far from them. After she heard that, she looked at Xia Qiao meaningfully, the smile in her eyes deep. Xia Qiao noticed as well and he instinctively looked over. Then, he shifted his gaze. The minute before his girlfriend was going to sing, Xia Qiao made the excuse that he was going to use the bathroom and left. Gu Tong grabbed her purse and followed. By the end of the hallway, Xia Qiao was smoking with his back to her. There was a clear contrast to the bustling noises ringing from the private room and the silence between the two. Chapter 278 Gu Tong, Xia Qiao, and Mao Shiyuan. (2) Ch.278 Gu Tong, Xia Qiao, and Mao Shiyuan. (2) Seeing that he finished smoking a cigarette, depressed, and was about to smoke another one, Gu Tong couldnt help but say, Smoking isnt good for your lungs. Your job depends on your singing. Control yourself. Xia Qiao wasnt surprised to hear her voice. He played with the cigarette in his hands, but he didnt light it up at least. Gu Tong crossed her hands over her chest as she leaned against the wall. While laughing, So thats the type of girl you like. Its quite shocking. My mother likes her. Oh? Youre quite obedient. Xia Qiao could tell she was mocking him. Seeing that he said nothing, she continued, That girl is much worse than Siyue. Your foresight has gotten much worse. Mn, its fine. Im going to break up with her in a few days anyway. Really? Thats a pity. I originally wanted to see you in pain forever. Who knew that youre going to break up with her. For more, visit novelhall[.]com Xia Qiao turned around to look at her. He pursed his lips but said nothing. Gu Tong smiled happily. Host Xia, good luck! Then she smiled again and left carefreely. Xia Qiao stared at her, staying unmoved for a while. He liked Xin Siyue but he also knew that nothing could happen between them because she lived a happy life after she got married. However, he couldnt control his heart. No matter who he got in a relationship with, he didnt feel anything for them. He knew that Gu Tong liked him, but she was Xin Siyues best friend. Thats why he did his best to reject her because he was afraid of hurting Gu Tong in the end. He was scared that Xin Siyue would fall out with her as a result. He wanted to leave the best memories in Xin Siyues mind. As for his future, he didnt really care. As for Gu Tong, he blessed her as well. Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Gu Tong didnt know what floor she walked to as she walked downstairs. She suddenly stopped and bent down, crying. She wrapped her arms around her knee and buried her head in her arms, crying loudly. She believed that this was the last time shed cry for Xia Qiao. What was good about that person anyway? Shell find someone she liked one day! However, she was still waiting because the person that loved her hadnt arrived yet. Gu Tong cried for a while and felt her sorrowful mood fading away now. She was about to find some tissues and clean herself up when she noticed that someone gave her a package of tissues by her side when she looked up. Gu Tong shockingly followed the gaze and through her blurry view, she realized that Mao Shiyuan was the one besides her Chen Sinans good friend. Because of Xin Siyue, Gu Tong had seen him a few times before. Mao Shiyuan couldnt help but laugh seeing that her makeup was ruined and that her tears turned black too. He lightly said, I thought you were going to cry for a long time. Thankfully, you stopped. For more, visit novelhall[.]com Youhow long have you been here? Gu Tong was shocked. Since you started crying. You! To be precise, since you were talking to that man. Hey! Sorry, I wasnt purposely eavesdropping. I just wanted to come out and make a call when I heard you guys. After he said that, he watched her glare fiercely at him so he added, Youre actually really good and youre also very beautiful. Hes the one that doesnt deserve you. Oh, thank you for the compliments. Gu Tong stood up. Because she had been kneeling for a long time, her legs were a bit numb due to the lack of blood circulation. She accidentally almost fell. Thankfully, Mao Shiyuan caught her quickly. Gu Tong couldnt help but tremble when she felt a pair of hands around her waist. For more, visit novelhall[.]com Mao Shiyuan looked down and stared at her for a while. He didnt even let go of his grip on her waist. Time seemed to be frozen here. Up until Mao Shiyuan asked seriously, Why dont we try to be together? Hm? Do you agree? Gu Tong didnt react. You youre being serious? Very serious. Ive long wanted to get your contact info from Xin Siyue. However, because of Zhuang Zhe, it was kinda inconvenient for me to say anything. Gu Tong was speechless. She knew that Zhuang Zhe was pursuing Zhong Qin. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com So you I think that we are suitable for each other. If not, we can slowly work to become suitable for one another. Plus, Im sure that I wont be like him. I wont make you cry. Gu Tong looked at him and blinked her eyes. In the end, she nodded for some unknown reason. Okay, lets try. Chapter 279 Nothing More than Strangers (1) Ch.279 Nothing More than Strangers (1) Su He flew back home after completing her studies overseas, but with a wounded body. She had a boyfriend, who spent four years fighting alongside her, two days before her flight back home, she found out that her boyfriend had cheated on her, and it turned out to be with her best friend for many years. On that day, Su He went out but she forgot to bring her phone along with her, because of an urgent issue, she used a public telephone to give her boyfriend a call, but the one who answered was a woman. That voice sounded way too familiar to her. Hello? Who is it? Hello? Her best friend repeated twice in the call, Su He grasped the phone on her hand and gradually tightened her grip. She calmed herself down, and held back the tears that were starting to swell in her eyes. Hello, Yuan Cheng is showering now, please call back again if you need something. While Su He listened to the call, she could clearly hear some rustling noise coming from the background, she suddenly raised her head and smiled. Since when did her boyfriend need her best friend to help pick up his calls? Shower, why did he need to shower? Su He grabbed a taxi and rushed off to Qian Yuanchengs hospital, the nurse on duty at the front desk told her: Doctor Qian is off-duty today. Su He smiled again, last night, he was the one who said he needed to work overtime and couldnt accompany her to buy some gifts for her parents. After Su He returned to her apartment, she gave Qian Yuancheng a call, this time he was the one who answered. Su He asked calmly: Where are you? Im at the hospital, whats wrong, babe. Oh, really? Su He laughed, Am I at the wrong hospital, Im at the entrance of your hospital, and the nurse just told me that you arent on-duty today. Why dont I just come to your office now? Oh dont, I just went out to grab a bite. Just wait for a while, Su He, Im almost there, Im just a few minutes away. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Oh, okay! Then Ill wait for you.

Im good with any place. Oh, is that so? I will bring Qian Yuancheng along. Lets meet up tomorrow morning, you can come and find me then. Okay, sure. Su He sneered after hanging up on the call. While packing her luggage, Qian Yuancheng called her a few times. Su He didnt feel like picking up as she watched her phone vibrate. The next morning, Qian Yuancheng, who was still half awake, was startled when she opened the door. He got up from the floor and quickly asked: Su He, what happened to you yesterday night? I was so worried about you, I kept calling but no one picked up! What will happen to me? Su He asked while she dragged her luggage out. Qian Yuancheng held onto her hand, What are you doing? Cant you tell? SU HE! He wasnt done talking but another voice came from the other direction. Su He Su He followed the voice and glanced at her best friend for nearly ten years, and sneered: Youre early, it seems like we can just skip the disgusting breakfast session later. Su He What happened to you This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Chapter 280 Nothing More than Strangers (2) Ch.280 Nothing More than Strangers (2) Su He took a deep breath, Cai Die, dont talk to me with that tone, it makes me want to vomit. Since both of you are so fond of each other, then let me just generously fulfill your wishes, so the next time, you both wont have to cheat behind my back like sneaky thieves. Su He, what are you talking about! Qian Yuancheng, you clearly know how long youve been cheating on me. Ive never asked about your whereabouts or even your circle of friends, this doesnt mean that I dont know anything. All the sweethearts in your text messages, you clearly know what Im talking about. After Su He finished, she snorted coldly and glanced at Cai Die, I have never thought that you would even hook up with your best friends boyfriend. I know about your private life but I have never said a word about it, because I clearly remember that night when you got really drunk and I was the one who came to pick you up from the bar. You scolded me, saying that I always acted naive and innocent, saying that Im a bitch that wasnt willing to sleep with Qian Yuancheng, and I deserved to lose everything. I kept quiet then and didnt take it to heart. I thought that you were just saying gibberish after drinking, but yesterday, I found out that both of you were already close enough to be in bed together. Cai Die, our relationship now is nothing more than just two strangers. As for sleeping with this person, I will leave it to you. Cai Dies expression slightly changed, Yesterday Yesterday it was you who made that call? Um. Su He was too lazy to answer her, she glared at Qian Yuancheng with a disappointed look, Just because I didnt want to go to bed with you, so you went for her? Qian Yuancheng, Im grateful that I always had a good judgement towards the people around me. You never gave me the sense of security and trust that I wanted. From now on, our relationship ends here, you can do whatever you want to do. I just hope that the next time if I was unlucky enough to bump into you, please pretend that were strangers. I feel disgusted to even think that I was in a relationship with you for so many years. Su He! Let me explain! It isnt like this! Let me go! Su He shouted, struggled away from his grasp, and sneered: Standing here with the both of you, even the air feels polluted to me. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com After Su He finished, she walked out with her luggage. She stopped a taxi that was downstairs and went straight to the airport. Su He thought that she would cry her heart and soul out, but she was wrong. Even on the cab or in the plane, she never cried, she didnt even shed a drop of tear. She thinks the anger in her had already overwhelmed her sadness. However, even though she felt angry, she told herself: Why should I be angry over people like this? Theyre not worthy of my anger? And that they werent important to her at all. Even though she was betrayed by both her first love and her best friend, two days after Su He returned to her country, she still energetically reported for work at the hospital located in the middle of the city of Sheng Jin. Her excellent results during her studies overseas had already attracted the attention of the hospital before she even started her first day of work. And after each surgery she performed, she slowly gained everyones respect. Chapter 281 Nothing More than Strangers (3) Ch.281 Nothing More than Strangers (3) Although she had lost in the battle of love, she still felt a sense of accomplishment from other aspects. Su He wholeheartedly devoted herself to her job and felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. Even if she worked non-stop for twenty-four hours, just a cup of coffee could rejuvenate her. Many directors in the hospital praised her, and her colleagues were also very respectful and polite towards her. But, there were also things that were beyond her control. For example, the grandson-in-law of the Chen familyXin Siyue. Before Xin Siyue transferred to this hospital, she had already sought medical help from many other doctors. With the Chens family power and resources, they still couldnt find a cure for it, how will any doctor dare to take over? If something goes wrong, it will single handedly ruin their own career, its too much of a loss to bear. While this heated case was pushed around, it eventually knocked on Su Hes door. She could vaguely remember the president of the hospital personally inviting her to his office, he was being too polite and kept praising her about her professionalism and ability. Nothing comes for free. Recently, everyone had only been gossiping about one thing, the Chen family. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Su He didnt like to beat around the bush, when the president decided to take a sip of water from all the talking, she asked: President, could you please get straight to the point if you need something from me? I have an appointment with my patient in half an hour. The president smiled and said: Doctor Su, heres the case, theres a VIP patient coming in this afternoon. Shes quite a special case because she is the wife of Sheng Shi Nan, she is also the daughter of the Xin family. Both families were not only prestigious, but they are also the Su He interrupted and said: So, are you planning to let me take over this case? Um! Correct! Youre young and full of potential, youve also just completed your studies, you are the most suitable candidate here. President, do I have the option to reject? No! that president smiled and said: I will pass you the details of Mrs. Cheng later, take some time out to do some research on this. Later this afternoon, I will personally bring you along to welcome her. Su Hes lips curved up, she didnt know what to say. This case fell straight into her lap, totally catching her off guard, but it wasnt a pie, it was a trap. Su He realised that it was really a big trap. Updated from novelhall[.]com She had done a lot of research about Xin Siyues condition, but she still couldnt find the reasons that made her unconscious. As days slowly passed, she felt devastated. She had already flipped through all the medical materials she had from dusk until dawn, she even discussed with her mentor that was overseas for more than ten hours, but in the end, they still couldnt come up with a conclusion. Su He was faced with a bottleneck situation. Just when she was the most frustrated and stressed, a particularly annoying person came. The thing that Su He hated the most was when someone questioned her skills and ability. Xin Siyues brother, Xin Qiancheng, broke into her office fiercely while she was massaging her temple due to a headache, as she cracked her brain to think about ways to wake Xin Siyue. However, Xin Qiancheng, who was wearing a black suit, arrogantly insulted her: After so many days, she still hasnt woken up yet, are you sure that fame of yours is real or you just bought it with money, Dr. Su ? Chapter 282 He Couldn’t Even Handle a Woman (1) Ch.282 He Couldnt Even Handle a Woman (1) After so many days, she still hasnt woken up yet, are you sure that the fame of yours is real or you just bought it with money, Dr. Su? Su He listened to that provocative insult, she frowned and looked up, trying her best to suppress her headache. Xin Qiancheng, who was wearing a black suit, was looking at her condescendingly. Su He already knew who this person was from the very first day. In Xin Siyues ward, she had met him a few times, just that the both of them had never had a conversation before and now a fight was about to spark between the both of them. Su He calmed herself down, with a polite smile on her face: Mr. Xin, could you please knock before coming in? Xin Qiancheng was ashamed of his action after she questioned him. At first, when he heard about Doctor Su, who came back from overseas and that she was very skillful, he dumped all his hopes onto her, but after so many days, Xin Siyue still showed no signs of waking up. Xin Qiancheng was desperate, so he barged in suddenly without even knocking on the door. When he wanted to apologise for his rude actions, Su He stood up and said: As for the fame that Mr. Xin felt sceptical about, I dont think you have to worry about that. Since I have taken over the patients case, I will have my own ways to cure her. So Mr. Xin, if youre still this rude on our next encounter, I wouldnt mind asking the president to escort you out from here. I still have unfinished work to do, can you please get out of here. You Mr. Xin, can you please get out. It was the first time in Xin Qianchengs life that he realised how merciless women can be when theyre pissed off. Is there anything wrong with what he said? He was just concerned and unintentionally doubted the doctors ability, is she being much more reasonable? And its all his fault? Xin Qiancheng walked out from the room without looking back. He murmured in his heart: I really do underestimate women. As for Su He, after he left, she no longer smiled and looked slightly angry. Whether she had the skills or not, he didnt need to question it! It was like she was trying to prove herself, Su He put all her energy and effort to research Xin Siyues condition. Unfortunately, a month has passed but there was still no progression at all. In the ward, after she did her regular check up, Chen Sinan asked eagerly: Doctor, how is it? Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Su He didnt know what to say, so she just shook her head. Xin Qiancheng finally speaked, he was standing beside and watched her closely as if he was afraid that she would harm his sister. Su He knew whenever he spoke, it would not be something good. As expected, Xin Qiancheng said: Dr. Su, if you still cant cure my sister, I will request for another doctor. Su He kept the stethoscope back into her pocket, and spoke without looking back at him: It is up to you. However, I would just like to kindly remind you about Mrs. Chens condition, we are all aware of this. If she cant wake up here, the results will still be the same even if you transfer her to other hospitals or ask for another doctor. Unless, she wakes up by herself. Su He! What youve just said is clearly nonsense! I have always told the truth, you have the option to consider about what you want to do next, Mr. Xin. Chapter 283 He Couldn’t Even Handle a Woman (2) Ch.283 He Couldnt Even Handle a Woman (2) After Su He finished, she said to Chen Sinan: Mr. Chen, I will head back to my office first, if you need anything, you can send someone to notify me. Okay. Before Su He left, she glanced at Xin Qiancheng, his eyes filled with contempt. Xin Qiancheng was so angry over this womans ridiculous attitude. Even a few times later, when he took the initiative and asked her about Xin Siyues condition, Su He sarcastically said, Chief Xin, whatever I say is just pure nonsense, are you sure you want to listen to me? Xin Qiancheng: Women can be so scary. After several failed attempts, Xin Qiancheng knew what to do. Whenever he saw her, he would just watch from a distance and would not engage with her. A miracle happened after Xin Siyue was admitted in the hospital for a little over two months. One day, when Su He was preparing to do more research on Xin Siyues condition, right after she switched on her computer, Xin Qiancheng rushed in. He knocked on the door this time. Updated from novelhall[.]com Please come in. Su He raised her gaze, and was surprised to see that the one who opened the door was him. Mr. Xin, so this time, what is it that you want to enquire about? Su He! My sister woke up, come quick! What? Su He was surprised. She woke up! She finally woke up! Su He stood up hurriedly, the news was too sudden that she left her coat on top of the pile of paper, Su He didnt have the time to take care of it. She ran to Xin Siyues ward, and really saw that she had woken up! She looked at Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue in disbelief, then glanced at Xin Qiancheng that was standing beside her. Xin Qiancheng held down his excitement while he stared at Xin Siyue. Su He shook her head helplessly, a miracle! It was really a miracle! For more, visit novelhall[.]com She gave Xin Siyue a full body checkup and found that everything seemed to be fine for Xin Siyue, she told her to take good care of her body for the next few days. After she finished talking, Xin Siyue smiled and said: Thank you doctor. Su He recognised her voice, a sweet voice, no wonder she was a host. She glanced at Xin Siyue and said: You dont need to thank me, Im the one who should say thank you. She looked in the direction of Xin Qiancheng after replying, Mr. Xin, may I ask, is my reputation restored now? Xin Qiancheng looked up and stared at her with a meaningful expression, but he didnt speak. Then, Su He instantly turned back: Mrs. Chen, please rest, keep your diet light for the next two days. Okay. Xin Siyue smiled. After Su He walked out from the ward, she didnt notice that Xin Qiancheng followed her from behind. He stopped her, Do you have such a big grudge against me? Mr. Chen, youre overthinking this. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Su He clearly knows that after Xin Siyue wakes up, she will be discharged from the hospital soon, until then, she doesnt need to interact with them, especially Xin Qiancheng. But your words and the look in your eyes are telling me that you have a lot of hatred towards me. Mr. Chen, so only the state officials are allowed to start the fire but the people arent allowed to light them? What do you mean? Su He silently rolled her eyes and said impatiently: It means, you are only allowed to have an opinion on me, but Im not allowed to have an opinion on you? Is it because youre Xin Qiancheng, I have to unconditionally follow whatever you say no matter what you do? Xin Qiancheng, youre too full of yourself! Get out of my way! Chapter 284 He Couldn’t Even Handle a Woman (3) Ch.284 He Couldnt Even Handle a Woman (3) The last two words were impactful. After seeing her pissed off at him, Xin Qiancheng thought twice, that it was better to let her go. After a few days, Xin Siyue was finally discharged. The president personally sent them off and forced Su He to come along. For Su He, Xin Siyue is the patient who frustrated her the most. Without finding out the cause behind it, she didnt know what she could do next, but Xin Siyue miraculously woke up. The people in the hospital who didnt know about this all praised her for her impressive medical skills. At that moment, she crossed her arms, and said as she suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at them: What impressive medical skills are you talking about! She didnt even put them to show! Su He was depressed for a few days because of this. Doubting her skills every single day that she planned to further pursue her studies. That night when Xin Siyue was discharged, she invited Su He to attend her celebration. Su He planned to attend after her surgery in the afternoon, since that night she didnt have to work overtime, after that she saw Xin Qiancheng already waiting for her at the hallway after she came out from the operation room. Ive waited for half an hour, are you done yet? For more, visit novelhall[.]com His impatient tone Su He was already exhausted, she immediately answered him with a frustrated tone: Im sorry to have troubled you, Im not ready yet. How long more do you need? I dont know! Su He swallowed her anger and said. The surgery in the afternoon was already very difficult, the operation was also nearly ruined by the rookie nurses. Fortunately, the patient was saved in time, all was good now. She was on the verge of unleashing her anger onto someone else. The surgery was completed an hour more than the expected duration, which annoyed her. Please be fast, I will wait for you. Su He stopped and glanced at him, Forget about it! Ill feel bad if I let you stand here and wait for me. Su He! Cant you talk nicely? Updated from novelhall[.]com Im in a bad mood, I dont feel like talking. She replied. I, Xin Qiancheng have never seen such an ungrateful person! Xin Qiancheng said angrily. Su He didnt feel sorry at all: You dont need to thank me for broadening your horizon. You! Su He left him there, went back to change and prepared to clock off. It was already past eight now, she only ate a little in the afternoon and hadnt had anything since then, she was as hungry as a bear during spring. As soon as she left the hospital, Xin Qiancheng followed her from behind with his car. Su He just ignored him. Get into the car! Xin Qiancheng commanded her. Su He stopped in her steps, glared at him and said: If you werent the one who came to pick me up tonight, I might attend. Unfortunately, it is you, Im afraid that I have to disappoint Mrs. Chen tonight. I dont feel like getting into your car. You dont have to follow me! You annoy me! Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Tsk Tsk! Ungrateful bastard! Thanks for the compliment. Xin Qiancheng was so angry, after waiting for so long, he was rewarded in this manner? He was frustrated, but he didnt want to head back like this, so he drove around for some time before heading back disappointedly. When Xin Siyue asked about her, Xin Qiancheng made up an excuse and said: She had a surgery to do. The thing that he didnt want to admit was that he couldnt even handle a woman. Chapter 285 What’s so good about a woman like this? Ch.285 Whats so good about a woman like this? A week later, Xin Qiancheng received a call from Xin Si Yue, saying that she had prepared a gift, and was planning to thank her attending doctor, Su He. So, she asked Xin Qiancheng to personally deliver it to Su He. When did Xin Qiancheng become an errand runner? Xin Qiancheng still remembered the womans bad attitude that night. Xin Si Yue smiled and said, Brother, please help me, I need to take care of Anan! Ill let Si Nan take the gift to the company and pass it to you. She didnt wait for Xin Qiancheng to make up any excuses and hurriedly hung up the phone. Xin Qiancheng ended the call and thought to himself: This is the last time. When Shen Si Nan brought the gift over, he said straightforwardly: If you like a woman, you have to stand up for yourself. Dont let my wife worry about you all the time, what kind of joke is this! Xin Qiancheng immediately retorted: Who said that Im chasing after a woman, pursuing her? Shen Si Nan, are you joking! Whether it is a joke, you know for yourself. Xin Qiancheng was fuming with anger, why would he chase after Su He! She has a terrible temper and is way too prideful. She deserves to be single! This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Well, he went to ask the other people in the hospital, Su He, she is single. Xin Qiancheng was silent for a while before calling the central hospitals CEO, CEO, hello, this is Xin Qiancheng, I have a favour to ask for Su He, who was looking through medical records, noticed that the phone in her pocket was vibrating, she took it out and answered the call, she was holding the phone in one hand, and flipping the pages with another, her attention was focused on the papers, Hello, may I know whos speaking? Xin Qiancheng. Xin Qiancheng answered directly. You? Su He was slightly surprised, her voice turned cold, and asked, Is there something that you need? What time do you get off work? Mr. Xin, please speak up if you need something. Well talk about it after we meet. I dont want to meet. Are you sure you dont? Believe it or not but I can wait for you at the hospitals lobby every day until you show up. Do you think Im scared of you? Su He hung up the phone directly after she finished her sentence! This person is crazy. But what Su He didnt know was that their respected CEO had already betrayed her. Su He was stopped by Xin Qiancheng that very afternoon. Su He didnt want to entertain him, but Xin Qiancheng knew what to do this time, he got out of the car, grabbed her, and then stuffed her in the passenger seat. What are you doing! Can you just be mindful of your actions? This is the entrance of my hospital, I still have a reputation to protect! Xin Qiancheng fought back: How about my image! After speaking, he started the car, There has never been a woman who made me wait. Su He sneered, Oh, so I should feel honored? Xin Qiancheng pursed his lips and said nothing. Su He sneered again, Xin Qiancheng, what do you want to do with me? Do you like me? Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Youre overthinking this! Xin Qianchengs gaze was fixated ahead. There is a thank you gift from my sister in the back seat. I am just responsible for delivering the gift. Oh, troubling president Xin to deliver a gift, how privileged of me. If it wasnt for my sister, do you think you would have such a privilege? Su He smiled, I know where I stand, I dont need you to remind me. Su He, you always have to challenge a persons temper, is this part of your personality? Su He glanced at him, smiled very nicely and said: You should be honored too, I only challenge you. Just because he had crossed her during their first conversation. Since then, she had remembered this hatred. If the way I spoke offended you, I apologize. Xin Qiancheng wasnt going to quarrel on with a woman. I dont accept it. Su He! Its useless even if you shout my name, and if its possible, please dont come looking for me again in the future. As soon as Su He finished, her phone rang. She looked at the screen and smiled mockingly: How could I have forgotten to block him! With that, Xin Qiancheng saw her hang up the phone with his own eyes, and then directly blocked the number. Xin Qiancheng caught a glimpse of the contacts name: Boyfriend. Xin Qiancheng frowned and blurted, Your boyfriend? Its my ex boyfriend. Su He corrected. Xin Qianchengs brow furrowed even more. Why havent I heard you mention him? Haha. Su He smiled, Mr. Xin, are we that close? Whether I have a boyfriend, why should I mention it to you? Besides, he is just a scumbag! If I mention a cheater like him, wouldnt it just be downgrading myself? Xin Qianchengs face turned dark when she finished the first half of her words, but when he heard her talk about her ex, he knew that she had no feelings for him anymore, and his complexion improved slightly. He agreed: You shouldnt keep in contact with a person like this. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Su He looked at him and said with a smile: Xin Qiancheng, why are you so concerned about whats going on in my life? Xin Qiancheng glanced back at her without speaking. Su He gleefully said to herself: Let me guess, do you like me? If you think so. The smile on Su Hes face froze when he finished saying this. Realising her sudden silence, Xin Qiancheng couldnt help but glance at her again. Unexpectedly, Su He solemnly said: Were not possible, dont waste your time on me. When Xin Qiancheng heard this, his expression also turned serious, and he asked: Why? I dont want to date anyone at the moment. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Xin Qiancheng laughed, Once bitten, twice shy? Whatever you think. You just need to know that well never get together, so dont spend your time on me. I dont have so much time to fool around with you. I make you feel like Im just fooling around. Yes, thats how I feel. Xin Qiancheng was fuming with anger! Whats so good about a woman like this! The idea of having a meal with her stifled, and Su He directly asked him to let her out of the car at the intersection. Chapter 286 Give Him A Chance (1) Ch.286 Give Him A Chance (1) Xin Qiancheng thought hard, but he still didnt manage to come up with the perfect plan to chase after her. After waiting for three days, he called her again and found that unfortunately, like her ex-boyfriendhis phone number was also blocked. Xin Qiancheng gritted his teeth because of her ruthless style of doing things. But what he didnt know was that there was going to be more things that would make him grit his teeth. Xin Qiancheng went to the hospital to wait for her. After waiting for half an hour, she was nowhere to be found. He went in and asked, only to realize that she was not working today. Why didnt she come to work? Did she fall sick? Xin Qiancheng clearly remembered that she was a workaholic who could live in the hospital for 24 hours a day. Doctor Su isnt sick. If she really was sick, she should be in the hospital. Xin Qianchengs face sulked, obviously only wanting to listen to the nurses important answers. The nurse was aware, and realized that he looked rather impatient, she hurriedly said: Dr. Su, she is going abroad for an exchange. She probably wont be back anytime soon. Abroad? Where? When? The nurse shook her head. Xin Qiancheng said impatiently: Thank you. He then turned to the elevator and went directly to the CEOs office. When Su He was heading downstairs with a garbage bag, he saw Xin Qiancheng standing next to the big green potted plant downstairs, his expression deep in thought. The light from the street lamp was bright, but half of his face was covered in the shadow, and she couldnt see his expression clearly. She only knew that his shadow that reflected on the ground was stretched long. Su He didnt want to ask why he was here. She turned around and was about to walk back, this was when she heard the sound of striding footsteps behind her, this feeling Before she could think clearly, her right wrist was grabbed by someone, and her body was forced to turn around. The next second, Xin Qiancheng clasped her waist with one hand, grabbed her hand tightly with the other, and kissed her lips. She looked at the man with closed eyes that was violently ravaging her lips with a stunned expression on her face. She came back to her senses and struggled desperately. However, the more she struggled, the more forceful he kissed her. WuWu Upon realizing that she was out of breath, Xin Qiancheng moved away from her lips slightly, but he didnt let her lips go. Su He panted for air and scolded him: Xin Qiancheng, what are you doing! Have you gone mad! If you do this again, I believe I will go insane sooner or later! This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Let me go. Im not letting go. We will make things clear tonight. Xin Qiancheng, were in public and were causing such a scene, dont you think its inappropriate? Okay, lets go into your room and talk. I dont want you to go in. Then lets talk here. Xin Qiancheng said, pulling on the hand clasped around her waist slightly, and Su Hes body that was already close to him got even closer. Su He only felt her heart bang bang beating furiously. She hurriedly said: Okay! Come in and talk! Only then did Xin Qiancheng let go of her hand. Sure enough, negotiating with a strong woman like her, he had to be more firm. Xin Qiancheng walked upstairs with her, and when they reached the fourth floor, Su He opened the door and said with an unpleasant tone: Xin Qiancheng, you have to leave immediately after we finish our talk. Updated from novelhall[.]com Xin Qiancheng glanced at her, and said: What are you so afraid of? He walked in. The house was clean and tidy, but the suitcase not far from the sofa in the living room was really an eye-catcher. Seeing her close the door, Xin Qiancheng said, Are you going abroad? How long? Do I need to report to you? You dont need to report to me. As he said this, he pressed her against the wall and kissed her madly. She was baffled by the situation! Su He was fuming with anger, and she opened her mouth, wanting to bite back. Who knew that Xin Qiancheng would retreat so quickly, Su He couldnt stop herself, and bit down. She only felt a slight numbing sensation on her lips, and then the taste of blood spilled out. Su He stretched out her hand and touched her lips, sure enough, it was bleeding. She was fuming with anger! Xin Qiancheng! Open your mouth, let me take a look! He pinched her chin with his fingertips, and was trying to take a closer look, when Su He slapped his hand away, Why should you take a closer look! Who is the doctor here! As she said this, she wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth. Chapter 287 Give Him A Chance (2) Ch.287 Give Him A Chance (2) After taking a look at her, Xin Qiancheng couldnt help but hold her face, turned his head to the side, and kissed her gently. Su He held his arm tightly with one hand, she could only feel her heart tremble every time he kissed her lightly. Su HeSu He When the long kiss ended, both of them were obviously out of breath. Su He only felt that her mind turned blank. Su He, dont go abroad, okay? Xin Qiancheng was firm, this was the first time he spoke to someone in such a pleading and gentle tone. Not okay. Su He looked up at him and said: The procedures are all done, I must go. Xin Qiancheng had no choice but to compromise and said, How long? One year. Or even longer.

Its okay, Ill wait for you. Xin Qiancheng, are you crazy? Yes, Ive gone crazy. For more, visit novelhall[.]com Im crazy over you. Su He, what is going on in your mind? The instructors question brought Su He back to her senses. Su He smiled, Professor, its nothing. The professor took off her glasses, looked at her thoughtfully, and said, Its been so many years, have you not forgotten Qian Yuancheng? In the same industry, Qian Yuancheng was fairly accomplished, Su Hes mentor had seen him before too. Its just that after seeing Qian Yuancheng, she said to Su He, You two arent suitable for each other. You deserve someone better. At that time, Su He was busy with her research, she didnt have the time to care about these things, so she said: Professor, no one knows what will happen in the future! After, as Su Hes mentor had said, the two were really not suitable for each other. Thanks to her mentors reminder, otherwise she would have almost forgotten about this person. Su He smiled and said, Professor, Ive let go of this matter a long time ago. I wasnt thinking about him. Then who are you thinking of? Im thinking of Xin The name that was about to come out from her lips was suddenly swallowed back down. Thinking of those kisses that night, Su He shook her head and said: Im not thinking about anyone. Her instructor smiled meaningfully, When youre free, bring him over to meet me. Su He smiled but she didnt answer. It wont happen. These few years, she had no plans to return to China. It was Su Hes third year abroad, Qian Yuancheng and Cai Die sent her a wedding invitation. She heard that Cai Die was three months pregnant. Su He looked at the wedding invitation, and then threw it directly into the trash can. She really hopes that they would stay lovingly together forever! On the night of Chinese New Year,it was snowing rather heavily, there wasnt enough food in Su Hes apartment. She was planning to go to the supermarket to get some food and have hotpot alone. When she went downstairs, she saw a black car parked in her community area. She took a second look and saw the car door open and a tall man in a black jacket came down. Su He stopped in her steps, she watched him slowly walk towards her. Xin Qiancheng took off his gloves, touched her cold red cheeks, and said, Happy New Year! Su He sniffled and asked him, Why are you here? Isnt it a holiday in China? Yes. I told my parents that Im coming here to chase after my wife, so they agreed. Su He blinked and immediately retorted: Who is your wife! Ill take it slow, you will be my wife in the future! Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Xin Qiancheng, youre being overconfident. Well, Im no better than you. Are you here to quarrel with me? Im here to see you. Xin Qiancheng said, stretched out his hand to bring her into his arms, and said softly in her ear: Su He, I miss you. Su He didnt move, she leaned into his embrace, and felt warm within. She thought to herself, this man, can she really rely on him for the rest of her life? Can he really accompany her through this ordinary yet short life? Su He thought, just let it be him then. Give him a chance, and also give herself a chance. Chapter 288 He Wanted Her (1) Ch.288 He Wanted Her (1) Ever since Zhuang Zhao saw Xin Siyues bridesmaid, Zhong Qin, at her and Chen Sinans wedding, he became interested in her. He originally considered the fact that since Zhong Qin was Chen Sinans wifes best friend, he shouldnt try to do anything with her. After all, he knew that with Chen Sinans pampering of his wife, if anything happened between him and Zhong Qin, Chen Sinan would definitely be on his wifes side. Hed get justice for his wifes best friend, and he knew that hed definitely suffer as a result. But he already planned on letting Zhong Qin go. The latter was the one that showed up in front of his doorsteps. He went to attend a certain companys products news conference within the circle, and the host was Zhong Qin. She wore a white-collared long dress that hugged her body tightly, outlining her sexy figure. With her ten centimeter white high heels, her legs seemed to go on forever and it made her waist appear skinnier. Zhuang Zhao admitted that he was a superficial person. He sat in the first row during the news conference. His attention was on her perky breasts and her skinny waist. Of course, her long slender legs as well. When it ended, Zhuang Zhao searched for her in the lounge room. She was just taking off her pearl earrings in front of the mirror. Zhuang Zhao entered after knocking on the door. He smiled and introduced himself, Hello, we met before. Im Chen Sinans friend, Zhuang Zhao. Although Zhong Qin hadnt taken a proper look at him on the stage, she naturally noticed his unadorned gaze. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Zhong Qin didnt have a favorable impression of him. Therefore, she politely smiled and asked, Do you need something? You are a good host. Why dont you give me your number and Ill invite you as the host of my company event the next time there is one? Thank you. After Zhong Qin said that, she added, Sorry, Im going to change my clothes now. Can you please go out? Mn, okay. Ill wait for you outside then. Zhong Qin slightly narrowed her eyes. That wasnt what she meant. What she meant was for him to leave directly. She didnt want to see him. But she completely neglected the degree of Zhuang Zhaos shamelessness. She was unwilling to talk or call him. However, he was still able to find her job place, and even got her phone number. He waited every day at the company for her on time. He gave her his personally made breakfast and lunch, and even gave her flowers and desserts. Everyone knew about it with this great fanfare. In the end, despite Zhuang Zhao pestering her for a month, Zhong Qin was still unmoved. Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Today, Zhuang Zhao blocked her in front of her apartment. Zhong Qin was startled by his sudden appearance. How do you know that Im here? If I, Zhuang Zhao, want to find out something in Sheng Jin City, its easy as pie! Mn, right. So I can actually sue you for violating my privacy! Zhong Qing, are you heartless? I gave you flowers and food every day, but you dont react in the least bit? I did. Why wouldnt I react? Zhong Qin took out her keys as she opened her door. My reaction is that I dislike it very much. I dislike your actions. Please dont send me these things in the future Hey! Mn The more Zhuang Zhao heard, the angrier he was. When was he that considerate towards a woman? He disliked her words more and more. This led him to forcibly kiss her due to a whim. Who knew that got him a slap. Zhuang Zhao watched as her chest heaved up and down. He licked his lips and asked, Hows that? I already kissed you. If youre unresigned to this, you can kiss me back. Zhong Qin reached over to wipe her mouth as if she was disgusted with him. Zhuang Zhao, Im not playing with you. I cant afford it. You best stay far away from me! For more, visit novelhall[.]com Since when had Zhuang Zhao been treated by a woman like this? Normally, he just waved his hands at a bar and countless women would throw themselves in his arms. Who was Zhong Qin?! Therefore, on his way back, Zhuang Zhao cursed out loud with every curse word he knew. When the car stopped, he clenched his teeth and exclaimed, Zhong Qin, you win! Zhuang Zhao entered the bar. When the manager saw him, he hurriedly walked over and greeted respectfully, President Zhuang Open a private room for me and then find a few young and beautiful women. They need to have sexy figures! Yes, yes! President Zhuang, this way please. Chapter 289 He Wanted Her (2) Ch.289 He Wanted Her (2) Zhuang Zhao buried his head down and took a huge gulp of wine. The manager brought in three beautiful women. Their skins were whiter than snow, and they were tall with curvy figures. Most importantly, they had skinny waists. But when Zhuang Zhao placed his arms around a woman and wanted to kiss her, he noticed that she had applied a few layers of red lipstick. He lost his interest right away and he hurriedly pushed the woman to the side. Then, he looked at the other two. They both wore heavy makeup. When he kissed Zhong Qin, he noticed that she didnt apply makeup at all. Her lips were soft and very sensual. Why did he start thinking about her again? Zhuang Zhao pushed the other woman whose arms wrapped around his to the side annoyedly. He shouted, Scram! Get lost already! President Zhuang! President Zhuang! Zhuang Zhao took out a huge pile of red Chinese Yuan from his pocket, and tossed it on the table. Leave quickly after taking this! The three beautiful women happily divided the money out before leaving while taking several last looks back at him. Zhuang Zhao drank alone moodily. The more he drank, the more upset he became. He drove around mindlessly, and went to an even more livelier bar to continue drinking. However, he called Chen Sinan along to drink too. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Chen Sinan, if youre my friend, then come out and drink with me! Im with my wife. Since he got married, Chen Sinan rarely came out to fool around with them. Although he rarely did it in the past as well, they could occasionally see him. Now, wanting to see him was much harder than seeing Zhong Qin! Zhuang Zhao was in an incredibly bad mood. He couldnt tolerate dog food. Damn it! You think youre cool because you have a wife? Women are nothing, okay! I dont even want one! Thankfully, Chen Sinan was good enough of a friend and came to drink with him. Chen Sinan had a hunch as to why Zhuang Zhao acted the way he did today. Therefore, he asked, Which woman are you interested in this time? A university student? Or a famous model? Or an underage girl? Zhuang Zhao choked and chugged down wine. He then braced himself and exclaimed, Im interested in my sister-in-laws best friend, the one I saw at your wedding last time. That Zhong Qin. Heh Chen Sinan exclaimed meaningfully. Whats that supposed to mean? Chen Sinan downed wine and said directly, Then its game over for you. Dont pursue her. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Are you still my friend or not? Its because we are friends that Im advising you to not pursue her. Chen Sinan! Shes my wifes best friend. You cant have her. Dont waste your efforts. Is there anyone that looks down on their friend like you? Zhuang Zhao was angry. But didnt the truth prove that you failed at pursuing her? Chen Sinan stabbed him casually. Otherwise, why would you be in the mood to drink here? Zhuang Zhao was speechless, the truth exposed. Right! That woman didnt give him face in the least bit! Chen Sinan was right! Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com But Zhuang Zhao was unresigned. He didnt believe that he couldnt pursue that woman! The next time, like usual, he waited for her at the company building. However, he arrived a bit late. By the time he came, he noticed that Zhong Qin had already driven away. Zhuang Zhao followed along and in the end, noticed that she actually made plans with Xin Siyue to eat. After that, they decided to go shopping. Chen Sinan couldnt find his wife, so he called Zhuang Zhao. He gave him the address. The two met up and then watched the girls shop from afar. They didnt disturb them either. The two went upstairs and causally ate. Of course, only Chen Sinan was the idle one. Zhuang Zhao was clearly very unhappy. Chen Sinan took a sip of the group and asked, Are you being serious or youre just doing this for fun? Zhuang Zhao wanted to blurt, Im being serious! However, it went against his heart. He was unable to say that. Chen Sinan replied indifferently, Look at you. Youre not even sure whether youre being serious or just fooling around. How could you possibly pursue her? Youve heard of the saying that birds of a feather flock together, right? My wife wants me to be devoted to our marriage. I cant even think about looking at another woman. Of course, thats not the type of person I am. But youre different. You always fool around. I think itd be strange if my wifes best friend would agree to being with you given your glorious past. Zhuang Zhao was made speechless by Chen Sinans words. He knew that he had past records. He played with women at the speed of him changing his clothes. He wasnt sure whether he was serious with Zhong Qin or not. He just knew that he wanted her. Chapter 290 He Wanted Her (3) Ch.290 He Wanted Her (3) When the two saw that Xin Siyue and Zhong Qin were getting ready to head back, the two then showed up. Zhong Qin wanted to tease the couple when she turned to see Zhuang Zhao standing behind Chen Sinan. Zhuang Zhao was wearing a black short-sleeve shirt, and he was looking at herself with bright eyes. Zhong Qin thought that this was a terrible feeling. Therefore, she hurriedly said to Xin Siyue, Siyue, since someone is picking you up, Ill be going now. Oh, okay. Xin Siyue naturally understood. However, the moment she just left, Zhuang Zhao hurriedly followed behind. Xin Siyue couldnt help but call, Zhuang Zhao! Zhuang Zhao turned and hurriedly said, Sister-in-law, Ill treat you out for food next time when I have time! Xin Siyue was speechless. While holding Xin Siyues things in one hand, Chen Sinan held her hands in another. While walking, he said, Just let them handle their matter. Lets not intervene. Xin Siyue recalled back to Zhong Qins words, and still felt worried. After Zhuang Zhao chased after Zhong Qin, he stopped her. Wait! Let me take you home! Thanks, but theres no need. I drove here. Then you can take me. Zhong Qin lowered her head and looked for her wallet in her bag. Zhuang Zhao was confused. What are you doing? Zhong Qin took out two hundred dollars from her wallet and shoved it in Zhuang Zhaos hands. Here, go hail a taxi. Zhuang Zhaos face immediately darkened. Zhong Qin was too lazy to look at him. She grabbed her car keys and decided to pick up her car in the parking lot. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Zhuang Zhao grabbed her hands and said overbearingly, Lets talk. Theres nothing to talk about. Its fine if you dont want to talk, but believe me or not, Ill kiss you here! Zhuang Zhao, is there something wrong with you? Do you want to try me? His tone made Zhong Qin angry. Okay! Lets talk! Lets talk somewhere else! She didnt want peoples attention on her while they were talking. Fine! Lets talk in your car. Zhong Qin took in a deep breath, and told herself that itd be over after she made it clear with him. When they got in the car, Zhong Qin looked ahead and said, I believe I dont have much of a charm. Plus, you dont fit the criteria for my other half. You dont fit it at all. The criteria for your other half? Zhuang Zhao chuckled when he heard this. Were not young anymore. Youre acting like a young girl with a dream guy? Zhong Qin sighed. This is the difference between you and me. We are unable to communicate normally. Were impossible. If were just dating, then thats fine. But were not suitable for marriage. My parents are honest and steady workers. I have an ordinary family too. Yet, youre a wealthy second generation. My parents will definitely disagree. I know that its better to marry someone of the same background. Seeing that Zhuang Zhao was about to retort, Zhong Qin hurriedly said, Let me finish talking! Plus, even if were not getting married and just dating purely, Im not interested nor do I have the energy to. You know that were not young anymore. If we break up in the future and I didnt have much feelings for you, then thatd be fine. But if I really give my heart to you, I wont have the energy to start a new relationship from scratch. Zhuang Zhao, Im not as fearless as you. I dont have the energy to put myself through all this work. Zhuang Zhao was silent for a few seconds and said with certainty, In the end, youre just afraid of falling in love with me. You just cant afford to lose, right! Right, Im just afraid. Zhong Qin laughed softly. Are you sure youre just not interested in me on a whim? Do you really plan to get married with me after pursuing me, and then live a steady life with me? Zhuang Zhao, Im not stupid. How long has it been since we knew each other? Its unbelievable that a playboy like you would fall in love with me at first sight. You might encounter another woman that interests you even more in a bit. By then, youd forget about me. Therefore, dont talk to me about being in a relationship. I refuse. Please dont pester me in the future as well. I dont want anything to do with you. Zhuang Zhao noticed that she was really worthy of being a host. She has a way with words. He couldnt even find a way to retort. Okay! Since youve already said it to this point, then Id be the one lowering my status if I keep pestering you! I can have any woman I want! Who are you?! Okay, remember your words. After Zhuang Zhao was ruthlessly kicked off the car, he almost wanted to smash her car. However, with the last dignity he had, he angrily left. Chapter 291 Make Her Jealous (1) Ch.291 Make Her Jealous (1) Zhuang Zhao said that he wouldnt disturb Zhong Qin anymore, and he did keep his promise. Since the second day, he stopped giving her flowers and preparing meals for her, bringing it to the company. Zhong Qins colleagues noticed that for three consecutive days, she hadnt received any flowers and whatnot. After getting off work, there wasnt a luxurious lamborghini waiting for her anymore. As a result, they started coming to her and wanting to get some information. Zhong Qin, whats with you and that Zhuang dude? Is it over between the two of you guys? Zhong Qin wanted to ignore, but ended up explaining, Hes just doing this on a whim. We werent together from the start. Really? Zhong Qin, I admire you so much! You can actually withstand the temptation. Although he has a strong background and hes handsome, I heard that hes always in the bar with his group of wealthy second generations. Hes famous for his way with women. You made the correct decision to reject him! Zhong Qin smiled faintly when she heard this, not wanting to continue this topic at all. Of course, there were some that felt it was a pity. Zhong Qin, why didnt you grab this opportunity? Who is Zhuang Zhao? Hes a wealthy man! You shouldve captured his heart, and get married to him. That way, youd become a wealthy and noble madam. You wouldnt need to work so hard then! Not everyone wants to be a wealthy and noble madam. At the very least, Zhong Qin didnt want to be one. Updated from novelhall[.]com After a few more days, Xin Siyue called her to ask about her and Zhuang Zhao. At that time, Zhong Qin had her phone on speaker as she was doing yoga. She said indifferently, What could happen? It wasnt like anything was going to happen. Xin Siyue asked, He didnt come to look for you anymore? I already made it clear with him. Why would he come look for me? If he does, wouldnt it make it seem like he is shameless? Xin Siyue couldnt help but laugh. Why do I feel like you two are just squabbling? Why would I squabble with him? Its not worth it. Its better if I work hard. In the future, if I meet someone I like, Ill marry them. If I dont, Ill just stay single for life. Thats pretty good too. Dont babble nonsense. Youll definitely meet someone! Zhong Qin sighed. I think that Im past the period of time of dating. I dont care whether I get in a relationship or not. Taking your words, its all up to fate. Xin Siyue couldnt say much. She decided to leave it to fate as well. What Zhong Qin didnt know was that ever since Zhuang Zhao was rejected, he started basically living in bars and playing with women more often. His friends were flabbergasted by his actions. In the past, he had done this before, but he had never done it like this. Today, Zhuang Zhao was drunk, and was carried to the guest room by his friends. They even considerately called for a beautiful woman to look after him. She wore a strapless super short dress, and his hand slid up the womans thigh. He rolled over and pressed her underneath. In the end, as he was about to lower his body to kiss her, he noticed that he was unable to do so. He rolled to the side annoyedly and exclaimed, Get lost! That woman wore a shocked expression. Her instinct was that he couldnt do it. She got up, disdaining him. She arranged her clothes and walked out as she murmured to herself. Zhuang Zhao rolled over and buried his head into his pillow. He noticed that his mind was on the woman that made him angry! Zhuang Zhao was sullen because of this for a few days. One night, his friends invited him to drink. After drinking for a while, he dismissed the women there. Hesitating between his words, he asked, How do you make a woman surrender to you? His friends laughed right then. Someone teased, Whoa, buddy. Youre trying to create a harem and become the emperor? Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Get lost! No one thinks youre a mute if you dont talk! Be serious! Im being serious! His buddies laughed for a while without a care before asking, Youre not being serious, are you? Chapter 292 Make Her Jealous (2) Ch.292 Make Her Jealous (2) What are you spewing nonsense for? How can I pursue them? Just give me ideas! Stop asking about my private life! Damn, I cant even ask you questions?! You should at least tell me that womans personality and stuff. Only after knowing the type of woman she is can we give you ideas! Shes tall and skinny, and also beautiful. She has a sharp tongue. Most importantly, she said that Im not her ideal type! Whoa, this woman is really blind. Brother Zhuang is such a good person. He is handsome and wealthy, and even has a career. I cant believe that woman said Brother Zhuang isnt her ideal type! If it were up to me, Brother Zhuang, dont pamper her. Find a woman and just appear in front of her; let her be jealous. Women are like this. They dont treasure you when they have you. They think youre not important, but when someone is stealing you from them, theyd know how much they regretted their decision! Brother Zhuang half-believed in it. Will it work? Brother Zhuang, listen to this buddy. Ill make sure youll get her! Zhuang, dont listen to his nonsense. If it were up to me, dont bother being polite anymore. What type of woman cant you handle? As long as you get in bed with her, Im sure shell surrender. Zhuang Zhao thought about the feasibility of the two suggestions. In the end, he concluded, Make her jealous? Yes, yes! Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience Force myself on her? Listen to me! I have a great idea! If you want a womans heart, you need to obtain their body first. Womens bodies are the most honest! Zhuang Zhao went back and thought for a while. He thought that forcing himself on Zhong Qin was a bit too rough. He had a deep impression of the time when he forcibly kissed her. It wasnt like she was going to lose anything, but she ended up slapping him! Besides being scolded by his father, Zhuang Zhao had never been slapped by a second person. After all, Zhuang Zhao thought that hed settle this account with Zhong Qin sooner or later. Zhuang Zhao decided to try the first suggestion. Therefore, he found a woman. When Zhong Qin and Xin Siyue went to watch a movie, he showed up with a woman intimately. However, the process was a bit indescribable. Zhong Qin didnt comment on anything, acting as if she was watching a good show. The woman didnt have the ability to make discerning judgments either, always adding oil to the fire. For more, visit novelhall[.]com As for Xin Siyue, she was clearly here to toss him under the bus. Zhuang Zhao really wanted to call Chen Sinan to have him look after Xin Siyue, making sure she doesnt come out to cause trouble. The journey to pursuing Zhong Qin was already filled with hardships and coupled along with this obstacle, when could he take her own? On the way back, Zhuang Zhao called and cursed the person that came up with the rotten idea. What did they mean by making Zhong Qin jealous? She wasnt jealous in the least bit! He felt aggrieved, thinking that it was better to do the deed with Zhong Qin! At least, it would save him all this effort! He did have this thought, but he hadnt made his move though. Up until he heard that Xin Siyue was pregnant, did Zhuang Zhao secretly call Chen Sinan. He asked if Xin Siyues best friend had gone to visit her or not. Chen Sinan replied slowly, Isnt it your expertise to block her in front of her building? What? You want to display your skills in front of my house? Zhuang Zhao scratched his hair. He did have the thought, but he said, I was impulsive last time and said that Id never block her in front of her building anymore. I need to keep my promise! Of course, he needed to keep his pain silent. Chen Sinan chuckled at Zhuang Zhaos misfortune, replying, I dont dare to tell you. What should I do if my wife gets upset at me? Dont worry, dont worry! I definitely wont tell my sister-in-law that you told me. Ill plan a coincidental meeting. Isnt it easy to make it seem like it was coincidental? Zhuang Zhao was smart now. Chen Sinan was quite loyal and told him the time. The day after. Chapter 293 3 Zhuang Zhao and Zhong Qin (1) Ch.293 Zhuang Zhao and Zhong Qin (1) Zhong Qin and Gu Tong knew how much Xin Siyue wanted a child. Therefore, when they heard that she was pregnant, the two were excited for her. They made plans to visit Xin Siyue at the Chen Family. It was rare for everyone to meet up. They were all happy, and had a harmonious conversation. But within twenty minutes, Zhuang Zhao came in carrying presents. Zhuang Zhao took a look at Zhong Qin first after he came in. Zhong Qin kept her head and drank tea instead. She even shifted her body a bit, avoiding his gaze. Zhuang Zhao wasnt annoyed either. He smiled as he delivered the gift to Chen Sinan while walking to Xin Siyue. Sister-in-law! Congratulations! Im waiting to play with your chubby child. Play with you? I think rather not! My child will be badly influenced by you. Zhong Qin exclaimed eccentrically. She felt the atmosphere tensing up and then she realized she had spoken too much. Sorry, I spoke too much. She said awkwardly. Xin Siyue smiled and hurriedly mediated, saying to Zhuang Zhao, Dont stand there. Sit. Zhuang Zhao glanced at the seating. Xin Siyue sat with Chen Sinan. Gu Tong sat on the left side of Zhong Qin. There was an empty seat on the right side but there wasnt much space on the three person sofa. Zhuang Zhao didnt sit on the single sofa, but rather squeezed next to Zhong Qin. Gu Tong was shocked by this. Only she seemed to be unfamiliar with the situation. Move out of my way! Zhong Qin said. Why? This is my friends house! If you dont go, Ill go! As Zhong Qin said this, she wanted to stand up but Zhuang Zhao stopped her. Cough cough! Chen Sinan then said, Pay attention. My wife is here! Zhuang Zhao looked at Chen Sinan and compromised in the end, hurriedly sitting in another seat. Zhong Qin sat down, not wanting to look at him in the least bit. After Gu Tong witnessed this, she gave Xin Siyue a look. The latter nodded, surprising Gu Tong. But she quickly recovered. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Zhuang Zhao was probably interested in Zhong Qin since the first time they met at the wedding. Zhuang Zhao couldnt do anything much since they were all together. But his gaze swept to Zhong Qin from time to time. It was clear that Zhong Qin was really unhappy later on. Xin Siyue invited the two to the study upstairs, so they could chat. After the three went upstairs, Zhuang Zhao complained, A-Nan, why isnt my sister-in-law helping me? Chen Sinan elegantly sipped on the tea, retorting, Why should she help you? Hey, are you still my buddy or not? Chen Sinan replied, Im only letting you sit here because were friends. Have you heard of the saying that impatience brings you nowhere? Yes. Then have you fished before? This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Havent I fished with you in the past? Zhuang Zhao didnt know where Chen Sinan was going with this. But you learned no tricks. Chen Sinan said in disdain, Listen. Im only saying this once. You have to be patient enough when you set the bait in order to catch a huge and delicious fish. Seeking instant benefit is not the way to go. You should learn from me. Recall how many years Ive waited for my wife for. Zhuang Zhao was silent. Chen Sinan patiently added for once, You already started to paw with her when she is repulsive of you. Cant you learn to be a gentleman? If you were pursuing a woman in the bar, then the other party probably wants your hands on them. But is she the same as the women in the bar? You need to think clearly. Zhang Zhao thought solemnly about it before nodding seriously. I understand. Chen Sinan asked again, Are you being serious? Yes, Im serious. Your family wont disagree? They probably would go and thank Zhong Qin for capturing my heart and making me settle down. Dont worry. Background and whatnot are worth nothing in my family! My parents should be laughing in secret that Zhong Qin is willing to be with someone as bad as me. Chen Sinan laughed. Then I hope you succeed soon. Of course! However, Zhuang Zhao ended up waiting patiently for two years. Chapter 294 Zhuang Zhao and Zhong Qin (2) Ch.294 Zhuang Zhao and Zhong Qin (2) He thought of all sorts of ways to close his distance with Zhong Qin, but he noticed that she was very stubborn. Since she said that she wont be with him, she didnt. She refused no matter what. This ended up going for another half a year. Zhuang Zhao started to lose hope. In the beginning, he rejected his buddies offer to drink. But as this continued, he became annoyed and agreed. However, he promised that he was only there to drink. He hadnt touched any of the women. Tonight, just a bit less than ten minutes after he entered the private room, Zhong Qin surprisingly called him. Zhuang Zhao looked at the phone and excitedly clutched it. He hurriedly opened the door and planned to find a quieter place to answer the phone when he saw Zhong Qin standing across from him. Zhong Qin Zhong Qin asked calmly, Didnt you come to me last time saying that you werent fooling around anymore? No, no! Zhong Qin, I just coincidentally had something to do tonight. Something to do? Drink? Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience My group of friends keep on nagging me. They refuse to accept no as an answer! Zhuang Zhao, do you know why I keep on refusing you? Even if you knew that I have a favorable impression of you. But Im scared of you when youre like this. Im scared that maybe one day, youd start to stay out the entire night after marriage, and just stay in these clubs and centers. Im also scared that when I grow old and youre not as interested in me anymore, a beautiful woman will come and attract your attention. Then, youll pounce on them just like the way you did when you pursued me. Then, what should I do then? I think that the only thing Id do is to divorce you. Seeing that Zhuang Zhao hadnt retorted once Zhong Qin finished, she continued, Therefore, I refuse to have a marriage with security, and end in a divorce. This makes it so that I dont dare to start a relationship with you. Zhuang Zhao, maybe its a little excessive that Im requesting you to treat marriage as your goal when were in a relationship. After all, our lifestyles are different. But Zhuang Zhao, today, I want to make this clear to you. I will never agree to date you unless you clean up your past, your friend circle, and change your habits. I think we really dont need to be wasting each others time. Zhuang Zhao, Im really selfish. I want a lot. You need to think clearly. I want love, marriage, security and loyalty forever. Can you give that to me? If not, please dont contact me anymore. I think its better if we act like strangers then. Zhuang Zhao stood stunned by the private rooms door. Someone inside yelled, Zhuang Zhao, are you a statue? Why are you just standing there? Quickly come inside and drink with us! Zhong Qin glanced at him to find him wearing an unwell expression. She knew that she had just nearly missed death. She placed her phone in her bag and exclaimed normally, Go inside. I still have other matters to attend to. Goodbye. Zhuang Zhao listened to him and turned to the private room obediently. After a long while, he just snapped out of his trance! Damn! This woman always has a way with words. She was clearly swindling him! Why was he being so stupid? Why didnt he know how to retort? Also, why did she come here too? She was a single young woman. Why did she come here?! For more, visit novelhall[.]com Zhuang Zhao chased after her, but he couldnt find her. He called her, but it didnt go through either. Zhuang Zhao was really angry. She has quite the attitude! I shouldnt have pampered her! But after a while, he still drove the car to her apartment building. Seeing that she came back in a black Audi, Zhuang Zhao got out of the car and walked over furiously, Zhong Qin! Why are you? After she finished, Zhong Qin turned to exclaim to the colleague in the driver seat, Thank you. Be careful on your way back. However, Zhong Qin had no idea what happened just now for it happened so quickly! Zhuang Zhao walked around her and dragged her colleague out of the car, beating him fiercely! Chapter 295 Zhuang Zhao and Zhong Qin (3) Ch.295 Zhuang Zhao and Zhong Qin (3) Zhong Qin tried her best to stop him, but Zhuang Zhao refused to let go! You said all that nonsense to me just before because of him, right?! He even sent you back home this late. You feel safe being alone with a guy? Zhong Qin, youre really brave! Zhuang Zhao, stop it! Are you crazy?! Ill become crazy sooner or later because of you! Zhuang Zhao! Stop it! Stop hitting him! In the end, one landed themself in the hospital and the other in the police station. After Chen Sinan brought Zhuang Zhao out, he sneered, Look at you! You beated someone without asking anything! Zhuang Zhao, youre really acting like a child! There were no injuries on Zhuang Zhaos face. That was because Zhong Qins colleague was a soft man. He only attended to protecting his head the entire time. Zhuang Zhao got in the car and searched his body, fetching a cigarette. In a solemn expression, I do feel quite regretful after I calmed down. I was too impulsive before. I dont even know how to face her now. For more, visit novelhall[.]com By the time the ambulance arrived, Zhong Qin got in with her colleague. He recalled the desperation in Zhong Qins eyes as she said, Zhuang Zhao, its better if we never encounter each other. Zhuang Zhao took a harsh puff of the cigarette. Damn! Why was it so troublesome to pursue a woman? Zhuang Zhao didnt have the face to meet Zhong Qin nor did he know how to solve the tense situation between the two of them. Later on, Xin Siyue gave birth to a chubby son, but she fell into a coma as well. When Zhuang Zhao went to visit Xin Siyue, he encountered Zhong Qin a few times coincidentally but the latter didnt even spare him a glance. Zhuang Zhao was dejected. He was thinking about how to let Zhong Qin forgive and accept him. Later on, there was a turn for the better. Xin Siyue woke up. The night that she was discharged, Zhuang Zhao was really excited. He was much better than the party involved, Xin Siyue. This was because Chen Sinan hosted a small party, giving him an opportunity to get along with Zhong Qin. Updated from novelhall[.]com Zhong Qin went to the bathroom halfway through as Zhuang Zhao followed her, blocking her in front of the bathroom door. Zhong Qin, lets make up. Zhuang Zhao exclaimed. President Zhuang, you must be drunk. Im not. Im very awake. Zhong Qin, lets be together! What dont you like about me? Ill change that. You like to make empty promises. Zhuang Zhao, how do you want me to believe you? I promise. How much is your promise worth? Zhuang Zhao wasnt her match at all. He said, surrendering, Just what do I need to do in order for you to believe me? I dont want to believe you. Zhong Qin, if you dont agree, I wont let you go tonight! I wont let you go for sure! He wrapped his arms around her waist with one hand and placed the other hand on the wall, kissing her without a care. If Zhong Qin wants to hide, hed chase after her then. Zhong Qin panted. Can you not be a bastard? If I dont be a bastard, how am I going to get my wife? Okay! Fine! Lets talk! Okay, you can talk. Ill listen. Let go first. Zhong Qin ordered. I refuse. Just talk like this. Zhong Qin glared at him, flying into a rage out of humiliation. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Even if you glare at me, I wont let go. Zhong Qin compromised and exclaimed, Okay, if you can keep your hands clean for three years and not drink or play with women, nor use violence, we can be together. Three years? In three years, my son will already be born. Zhuang Zhao subconsciously retorted. Where did your son come from? Zhong Qin was surprised. Our son! Zhong Qin, no. Three years is too long. Its up to you whether you agree or not. Okay, I agree, I agree! Zhuang Zhao thought that three years wasnt bad. A year later, theyd have a child already. Who cares about the time limit? But there was a mistake in Zhuang Zhaos plan. He spent about a year or so before he coaxed Zhong Qin into moving in with him, and then another half year or so before they did the deed. Two months later, Zhong Qin was finally pregnant. Updated from novelhall[.]com It was then that the two hurriedly started to prepare for their wedding. Compared to Zhong Qins parents unhappiness, all the elders in the Zhuang Family were exceptionally delighted, planning out a luxurious and grand wedding. As for Zhong Qin and Zhuang Zhao, in Xin Siyues words, they had finally gotten together after all the torment they had put each other through.

During college, the two were in different places, and one could count on fingers the number of times theyve met each other.

Her roommate saw that he was still waiting there, so she exclaimed out of kind intentions, She also has another number that she frequently uses. Do you want me to try and call her for you? It was then that Mo Bei just found out she had a new contact number but she had never told him about it. Seeing that he was still waiting, her roommate thought that he was a pursuer, so she said, You dont need to keep on waiting here actually. She went out with her boyfriend, and I heard shed be staying out the entire night too. Who knows how long you would have to wait here. Mo Bei felt as if he was struck by lightning right then. Her boyfriend. He was here right now. Which other boyfriend was she planning to stay the night out with? Mo Bei didnt believe this. He waited the entire night bitterly. The night was cold, and he felt his heart coldening too. Updated from novelhall[.]com Mo Bei lost hope the second day.

What he didnt expect was that the relationship ended with his first love making him a cuckold. Mo Familys elders did their best to stop the two after finding out the two got in a relationship for three months already. Mo Bei was scared that shed be upset and worried, so he didnt dare to tell her. He endured the familys pressure on him by himself. Later on, Mo Familys elders didnt need to wedge in between their relationship as Mo Bei broke up with the girl without another word. From then on, he seemed to give up on women, and lived a calm and peaceful life. Up until he met Sheng Wenyang when he was abroad undertaking advanced courses.

She sprinkled warmth and sunlight in his lonely life abroad. He liked her. His love was more unforgettable than his first love. But later on, he just realized how humble he was in this relationship. He did everything he could to become closer to Sheng Wenyang. He helped her, giving her everything that he thought she needed. But when he confessed to her, Sheng Wenyang told him harshly that she liked someone already. Mo Bei originally thought it was just an excuse to reject him. Chapter 297 Mo Bei and Sheng Wenyang (2) Ch.297 Mo Bei and Sheng Wenyang (2) But Sheng Wenyang said something that stabbed his heart. I never mentioned my boyfriend in front of you, but that doesnt mean I dont have someone I like. I never mention him because Im scared that Id become weak when I think of him. Im scared that my heart will soften and return to go find him. I didnt contact him either because I didnt want myself to think of him too much. I dont want to hear his voice because if I do, Id want to return to his side immediately. Mo Bei was covered in cuts and bruises by her confession. Who knew that Sheng Wenyang continued to say, You know him too. Who? Chen Sinan. Mo Bei laughed. He asked her, dejected, Why are you sure that I know him? Youre also from Shengjin City. Everyone knows him there Mo Bei, the man I love is a very outstanding person. You cant compare to him, and I never thought of letting him go either. I went abroad for him. There was no nothing more heartbreaking than being attacked after the confession failed. Mo Beis heart had truly shattered into countless pieces. Updated from novelhall[.]com He wanted to call Chen Sinan to verify Sheng Wenyangs words, but he was scared of hearing the ruthless truth. He wanted to forget about Sheng Wenyang, but she still treated him like usual. Mo Bei, although we cant be lovers, I hope we can be very good friends. He cursed himself for being weak a lot of the time. He couldnt have her, so why couldnt he let her go? He just couldnt! He kept her every action and smile in his mind. He really felt as if he was poisoned deeply. He thought that as long as he still had a heart and feelings for Sheng Wenyang, he would never give up loving her. One time, Zhuang Zhao hosted a welcoming dinner for him when he returned. Mo Bei escaped from his familys clutches who urged him to get married. By the time he arrived, he saw that Chen Sinan actually came in advance. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com He wasnt in the mood to respond to Zhuang Zhaos teasing nor did he want to babble nonsense. He just wanted to ask Chen Sinan the question. Is Sheng Wenyang your girlfriend or not? While they were playing mahjong, he looked at Chen Sinan and carelessly mentioned Sheng Wenyang. When Zhuang Zhao asked Chen Sinan who Sheng Wenyang was to him out of curiosity, Mo Bei responded mockingly before Chen Sinan could reply, She said shes your woman. After Mo Bei finished his words, he waited for Chen Sinan to clarify this. Who knew that Chen Sinan actually exclaimed, Since youre that close to her, why dont you go verify whether its true or not? Mo Beis expression fainted, and he looked at Chen Sinan a bit complicated. On the way back, Zhuang Zhao even told him that he shouldnt steal his friends woman. He said something along the lines of there were so many women in the world, so there was no need to toss a decades worth of friendship away for a single woman. Mo Bei retorted however, Im not you. I dont play with women at the speed you change your clothes. Shes different from all the women you know. After that, Mo Bei sighed heavily, clearly not in a good mood. For more, visit novelhall[.]com Zhuang Zhao knew that Mo Bei and Chen Sinan had similar personalities. They wouldnt fall in love that easily. Obviously, Mo Bei wouldnt be in a good mood since he finally found someone that he liked, but that was Chen Sinans woman. Zhuang Zhao advised him to think it through before doing anything. However, Mo Bei wore a dark face because he couldnt tell what Sheng Wenyangs relationship with Chen Sinan was. Later on, Mo Bei returned and lied to Sheng Wenyang, saying that Chen Sinan found a new woman. To be honest, he didnt really lie. He heard that Chen Sinan frequently ran to A City because there was a woman that he cared about there. When Sheng Wenyang heard this, she immediately shook her head. No, he wouldnt do that. He likes me, and he can only be mine. Mo Bei asked, Can I not replace him in your heart? Mo Bei, I like him. No matter how good you are, youre not him. Mo Bei felt that his heart was really stuffy. Chapter 298 Mo Bei and Sheng Wenyang (3) Ch.298 Mo Bei and Sheng Wenyang (3) Later on, Sheng Wenyang kept her return hidden from him. Mo Bei only found out later on. She said something about coming back to attend the anniversary of the founding of a school, but that was just for Chen Sinan. Unexpectedly, Chen Sinan really did have someone he liked. That was Xin Siyue. Sheng Wenyang even personally went to A City for Chen Sinan. By the time Mo Bei rushed over, Sheng Wenyang was already dejected after receiving the shocking news. In the hotel, Mo Bei glanced at the lifeless Sheng Wenyang and said in hatred, He already made it so obvious and clear to you. Are you going to persist doing the wrong thing? Sheng Wenyang laughed bitterly. What else can I do besides continuing to do the wrong thing? Mo Bei, Ive worked so hard all these years for you. Now that I came back shouldering achievements and fame, hes not mine anymore. Do you want me to let him go now? I cant convince myself. I cant do it. What else do you plan on doing? Intervene between the two, and become Chen Sinans mistress? This was the first time Mo Bei said such harsh words. Sheng Wenyang stood up, her reaction intense. She argued, Who is a mistress? Who is! Chen Sinan was clearly mine! Xin Siyue was the one that seduced him when I was abroad! It was Xin Siyue! Mo Bei reacted the complete opposite as her. He sat on the gray single sofa calmly and said in an expressionless tone, Wenyang, youre always like this. You always think that you deserve the best. The same goes for clothes and your career, and even love. You want Chen Sinan, but have you asked about his opinion? I just recalled that you probably didnt even ask him if he likes you when you left the country, right? As expected, Sheng Wenyangs expression turned worse when Mo Bei said that. He chuckled, mocking himself for being stupid. He was actually fooled by Chen Sinan and Sheng Wenyang! He softened his tone and said meaningfully, Wenyang, since he could hold that news conference in front of everyone, it means that youre nothing in his heart. Why bother lying to yourself? Im not lying to myself! Sheng Wenyang raised her voice, Chen Sinan shouldve been mine! I just left the country, but why did everything change when I had come back? Mo Bei, this shouldnt have happened! This shouldnt have! Time can change a lot of things. Wenyang, give up. Chen Sinan likes Xin Siyue. No! No! Its not my style to give up before trying! Even if I failed after trying, at least I wouldnt feel ashamed. Mo Bei glanced at her determined gaze and then he suddenly laughed. Sheng Wenyang, what about me? What have you treated me as? You think that Id be like Chen Sinan and wait foolishly at my original spot for you no matter how far away you are? Is that so? At this moment, Mo Bei seemed to realize that he could never replace Chen Sinan and walk into Sheng Wenyangs heart. He was just like Sheng Wenyang. He was stupid and obstinately persisted in going about things the wrong way too. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com Therefore, as the elders consistently urged him, he half-heartedly agreed to meet the best marriage candidate that they had meticulously chosen for him. The first time Mo Bei saw her, he was uncertain. Youre the person that they chose for me? That girl blinked her round and big eyes, her eyes sparkling. She thought about it before asking, Who are they? After being with a woman as smart and mature as Sheng Wenyang, Mo Bei was unable to process what was happening when he encountered this child-like woman for the first time. He directly asked, Are you an adult? Of course! Im already twenty! Mo Bei glanced at her smooth and round face. Because of her bangs, it made her look younger. She seemed to understand the questioning gaze in his eyes. She smiled and exclaimed, You dont believe me? You can look at my ID then! As she said this, she actually lowered her head and rummaged through her bag for a while before finding her ID. For more, visit novelhall[.]com What Mo Bei thought of was: She has two very deep and cute dimples when she smiles. Hey, look! Im actually twenty! Mo Bei grabbed the ID without saying anything. The profile was the same as the figure in front of him. He looked at it for a while before reading, Nian Weicheng. Mn, right. Everyone likes to call me Chengcheng. Mo Bei glanced at her pure smile and he froze. Then, he said meaningfully, Nian Weicheng? Underage? Then, her smile froze. However, Mo Bei laughed out loud. Chapter 299 Awkward Meal (1) Ch.299 Awkward Meal (1) Mo Bei felt nothing towards this underage girl. However, he didnt dislike being with her either. She was pure and innocent, revealing her emotions on her face. Just like how she angrily ate her steak, stabbing at it because he had called her underage. Mo Bei knew that she was purposely making the noises, so he also said purposely, Before I came, my grandmother told me that Ill be seeing a beautiful woman with great upbringing and manners, but She hurriedly lifted her head to look at him and asked nervously, Am I not beautiful? Mo Bei met her sparkling and doey eyes, and then he looked at her features. She was delicate-looking and when she wasnt talking, she was quite sweet-tempered and gentle. Therefore, Mo Bei responded honestly, Youre beautiful. When Nian Weicheng heard him complimenting her, she felt proud and smiled happily. I knew it! Since Im so beautiful, do you want to like me? Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Pft Mo Bei felt like he was getting old. Otherwise, why did he feel like he couldnt catch up to this young girls thoughts? Later on, on the way back, he asked for her phone number. Of course, he was just doing this so that he could report back to his family. But she wasnt stupid either. She retorted, What about your number then? Mo Bei looked at her, not really wanting to give her his number. I already told you my number, so wouldnt it be unfair if I dont get your number? Mo Bei stayed silent. Give me your number. I promise to not disturb you. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Mo Bei couldnt tolerate her acting cute, so he shoved his business card in her hand in the end. She placed it inside her wallet delicately as if treating a treasure. Mo Bei looked at her but said nothing. But after she got out of the car, he looked at the unfamiliar chain of numbers on his phone. He named the contact: underage girl. What Mo Bei didnt know was that she was incredibly clingy. She was clearly lying when she said that she wouldnt disturb him if there werent any serious matters. She called him two to three times a day, and sometimes even more. Each time, she was able to hold the conversation happily. Mo Bei didnt even understand why she would feel happy talking about trivial daily matters. He stayed with her to eat, shop, buy gifts and watch movies. But he couldnt replace Chen Sinan in Sheng Wenyangs heart. Likewise, Nian Weicheng couldnt replace Sheng Wenyang in his heart. Even if he got in a daze whenever he saw her splendid smile. Visit novelhall[.]com for a better experience Sometimes, Mo Bei wondered if he should tell her the truth sooner after seeing how innocent and pure, and worry-free she was. But because Sheng Wenyang had come to look for her, he didnt have time to attend to Nian Weicheng. Sheng Wenyangs company was about to push out a series of jewelry designs. The theme was couple forever. Sheng Wenyang had drawn the designs out, and she wanted him to give an opinion. Mo Bei pointed out several things before Sheng Wenyang immediately went to change it. Therefore, when he picked up Zhuang Zhaos call, he was still with Sheng Wenyang. Mo Bei thought that it was just a gathering of friends. Thinking that Sheng Wenyang hadnt eaten and that she met his friends before, he asked about her opinion before taking her along too. Who knew that coincidentally, Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue were both here. Sheng Wenyang and Xin Siyue had gotten into a fight in the past, so Mo Bei didnt want them to meet. He tried to relieve the nervous atmosphere by saying, I was held up by some things, so sorry for coming late. Amongst the group, someone with poor hindsight exclaimed, Beize, I bet you were just busy with your woman! I heard that lately, youve been caught in frame with a young girl. I guess you brought her over for us buddies to take a look at! Mo Beis expression immediately darkened. He didnt dare to look at Sheng Wenyang. He didnt know whether she would care or not or, whether shed be jealous or angry As for Sheng Wenyang who was present, her expression stiffened too. Mo Bei shouted, Eat your food and shut your mouth! Clearly, this was an awkward meal. But Mo Bei was surprised that such a proud woman like Sheng Wenyang would actually tolerate this grievance for Chen Sinan. Chen Sinan was already with Xin Siyue, so why couldnt she let him go? Sheng Wenyangs mood was unstable. Mo Bei waited at the hallway outside the bathroom for a few minutes to see Sheng Wenyang coming out with teary eyes. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com He said, Sheng Wenyang, wake up. You cant win Xin Siyue. Why?! Whats the reason? She retorted calmly. Because Chen Sinan doesnt love you. Mo Bei said, If a man was at least interested in a woman in the least bit, they wouldnt just ignore the woman and not ask about their well-being all these years. Since when did he care about your life, work and company? When? Not even once. Wenyang, look at how much he adored and cherished that woman. You two are impossible! Chapter 300 Awkward Meal (2) Ch.300 Awkward Meal (2) Sheng Wenyang refused to look at him, stubborn. However, she still had teary eyes. Mo Bei glanced at her slightly trembling shoulders, not bearing to say anything heavy anymore. Mo Bei had been waiting for her to give up. Up until the news of Chen Sinan getting married had spread. She still didnt give up. But when he saw Sheng Wenyang asking to meet Chen Sinan in front of the building, he didnt know what it felt like to have a broken heart anymore. Or maybe, his heart was just numb. He didnt feel as bad to hear her crying heartbreakingly. He asked Xin Siyue who wasnt that far from him, You believe that Chen Sinan wouldnt betray you to go back to his old love? Xin Siyue couldnt help but laugh. Instead, she retorted, Do you think that Sheng Wenyang will get back with him? Updated from novelhall[.]com Mo Bei didnt answer. Yet, Xin Siyue said with certainty, You believe in that, but I believe in Chen Sinans personality. Mo Bei, I trust Chen Sinan because he can give me security. You dont believe Sheng Wenyang because you two arent devoted to each other. Maybe when you meet your true love and someone that also loves you, youll be able to experience this feeling. Mo Bei had to admit that Xin Siyue was right. He and Sheng Wenyang were never truly together. Later on, he saw Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue leaving the restaurant lovey-dovey. Mo Bei purposely reminded Sheng Wenyang, Do you see that? They have a great relationship. Sheng Wenyang didnt turn to look at him, but her gaze followed the car fading in the distance. She mocked at herself and asked, Are you here to purposely watch me being a fool? Is that what you think? Mo Bei knitted his brows. Isnt that so? Back then, I shamelessly claimed to be Chen Sinans girlfriend, but who knew that he didnt place me in his heart at all. Look. Ive been abroad all these years and Xin Siyue already replaced my position. I deserve all of this. Mo Bei listened to her words and also laughed mockingly. Why did he love her back then? Why did he think she was outstanding and charming? Look at right now. She was the only one that couldnt see through the situation. Wenyang, let go. Chen Sinan loves Xin Siyue. Enough! Sheng Wenyang suddenly raised her voice, and criticized Mo Bei for not understanding her in a malicious tone. Even more, she emphasized each time how much she loved Chen Sinan! Mo Bei looked at her, his eyes a bit teary. In the end, Sheng Wenyang got in her car and escaped. Mo Bei stood there for a while up until his phone rang did he snap out of his trance. He looked at the caller ID: underage girl. Mo Bei reached over to rub his temple. He picked up to hear the clear and pleasant voice mixed with a happy tone, Mo Bei, Mo Bei, I dont understand this section in English. Can you help me translate it? She dragged her last words out, mixed with a soft tone. Mo Bei snapped out of his trance and asked, What is the content? Visit novelhall[.]com for the best novel reading experience The other party immediately smiled and then said fluently in English: The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but rather you not knowing that I love you despite me standing in front of you. She just finished reading it when she hurriedly asked, What does this mean? Mo Bei, quickly help me translate it. Mo Bei smiled and then said, Im very curious. A person that can read the sentence fluently doesnt understand the meaning in Chinese? If you really dont understand, I dont mind contacting your parents and letting them hire an English tutor for you. The girl felt drained. She humphed and then complained in a low voice, You dont have to say it if you dont wanna. Who cares?! After that, before he could even respond, the girl left him with, Mo Bei, I dont want to see the annoying you anymore! Mo Bei looked at the hung up call, feeling extremely helpless. He thought that she was just saying it for the sake of saying it. Shed happily bounce around in front of his face within two days. Therefore, why should he be worried or care? What Mo Bei didnt know was that after he drove the car and left the restaurant, a skinny figure walked out by the restaurant door. Nian Weicheng clutched her phone tightly, her body sliding down the stone pillar. She bit her arm and refused to let herself cry out loud. However, tears had already streamed down her face. For more, visit novelhall[.]com Chapter 301 Pursue Her (1) Ch.301 Pursue Her (1) Mo Bei noticed that he was gradually disappointed in Sheng Wenyang. He gave her many chances. He always told himself secretly that she might come back to him if he gave her some time. But what he didnt expect was that while Xin Siyue was still in a coma, she planned to get closer to Chen Sinan time after time. He originally wanted to question her and ask what she took him to be! Later on, he thought that wasnt necessary. Why bother doing more than needed, and getting himself in a bad mood? He stopped loving her. He wanted to make himself give up on Sheng Wenyang completely. He changed his phone number and his residence, as well as the location of his company. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Chen Sinan was too busy taking care of Xin Siyue, so he had no time to come out to drink. Therefore, he asked Zhuang Zhao to accompany him. Zhuang Zhao had the same issue as him, but he didnt forget to tease, You pedophile. When are you going to invite me to be your best man? Pedophile? Mo Beis face darkened. What are you saying?! Zhuang Zhao chuckled. Dont think its embarrassing. Us buddies all know about the delicate young girl your family found for you. Ive seen her before. She looks very delicate, and she seems quite close to you. Say, arent you a pedophile then? Mo Bei explained, Shes an adult. How am I a pedophile? And, what do you mean? She was just holding my hands. So, what step are you guys up to? Do you feel like you were committing a crime when you pressed her underneath you? Do you think that everyone is like you?! How are you like us? Youre a rare and faithful man! Mo Bei suddenly recalled that since Nian Weicheng called to request him to translate something, she hasnt contacted him since. It was considerately strange since she went from calling him many times a day to not calling him anymore. What Mo Bei found strange was that he only noticed it now. He found her number through his contacts and hesitated before calling. However, he noticed that her phone was turned off. Later, he tried a few more times, but it was still the same status. Mo Bei was scared that something might happen to her so he called her father. Nian Family and Mo Familys elders were quite close to each other. Mo Bei had seen Nian Weichengs father several times as well. He was in his sixties. Although he seemed spirited, he was in fact getting old. Mo Familys couple obtained their daughter at an old age, so the couple pampered her very much. For more, visit novelhall[.]com Therefore, Mo Bei thought it was possible that this underage girl was ignorant and innocent. Father Nian smiled and exclaimed, That girl didnt tell you? What? Mo Beis instinct was that something bad happened. On her way back that day, I dont know why she decided to be unruly, but she walked back home. Who knew that she was mugged, and she fell as a result too. She rolled a few circles on the ground and ended up in the hospital for a few days. Shes in the hospital? Mo Bei asked nervously. Thankfully, she is fine. However, didnt the girl tell you that she changed her number? Mo Bei explained for her, I probably forgot her number, so I couldnt contact her. Uncle, can you send me her new number? Yes! Father Nian hung up and told his wife about this. The latter asked, Then does Mo Bei know that our daughter is going abroad? Father Nian came to the realization and exclaimed, I forgot to tell him. Whats with your memory? How can you not tell him?! Dont worry, dont worry. I already told him our girls number. Hell definitely be able to contact her. However, Mo Bei spent a good month or so before he got a hold of her. He called many times, but noticed that she kept her phone turned off. He then regretted his decision. Why didnt he get her Weibo or WeChat? At least, he had other methods of getting a hold of her if he couldnt contact her by phone. Chapter 302 Pursue Her (2) Ch.302 Pursue Her (2) Mo Bei tried many times, but noticed that he couldnt get in touch. Afraid that she might get into an accident, he planned to visit her family or check out her school. But the moment the thought flashed by did he realize that he didnt even know what school she was in. She never mentioned it before. He never asked either. Finally, the call went through a certain midnight. He was ecstatic. He suddenly noticed that his life was bland and dull without her disturbing him. He suppressed his feelings and asked, Why arent you asleep this late? Ah? Its just early morning here. After that, in a carefree tone, she asked, Who are you? Mo Bei was speechless. Follow current novels on novelhall[.]com Hello? Underaged girl, I havent seen you in a while. You Ah, I cant talk to you right now. I need to hurry and catch my bus! Lets leave it as it is now. Lets chat when I have time. Mo Bei was confused, having the phone suddenly hung up on him. What is she doing? What bus is she catching? Doesnt she drive? Later on, at a banquet, Mo Bei coincidentally encountered Father Nian. Through their conversation, Mo Bei found out that Nian Weicheng decided to become an exchange student and went abroad for the next four years. It was unclear whether Mo Bei just couldnt get in touch with her or that she was unwilling to get back to him. He just knew that she didnt tell him that she was planning to go abroad. Even more, she hung up on him right then. She did dislike him. Yup, she disliked him very much. He didnt want to take the initiative to contact her. He wanted to wait until she couldnt hold it in anymore and then come to contact him. This content is taken from novelhall[.]com But, Sheng Wenyang ended up looking for him first. Xin Siyue woke up. It was then that Sheng Wenyang repented and realized it was impossible between her and Chen Sinan. She found Mo Bei and told him that she had seen through her situation. She now knew who was truly nice and loved her. However, Mo Bei was unmoved now. His love for her had gradually diminished after each time that she disregarded him and pursued Chen Sinan. He said, Sheng Wenyang, we cant go back anymore. Im not staying where I am. But you can go back and continue to be the queen of your career. As for me, Ill find someone that truly loves me and grow old together. Sheng Wenyang cried as she asked him how it had come to this point. He couldnt give her an answer. He just suddenly missed a certain persons crispy laugh and her two deep and cute dimples. Mo Bei called the underaged girl many times that night. For more, visit novelhall[.]com It was unclear after how long before the call finally went through. Before Mo Bei could say anything, the girl asked in a clear tired tone, questioningly, Why are you still calling me? What? Mo Bei, are you pretending to be stupid? You love that woman so much, yet you still shopped and watched movies with me. Dont you think youre being excessive? Although I dont understand a lot of things, I know that your actions can be described in one word: scumbag. Nian Weicheng said, recovering her calm tone. Mo Bei, I thought that since I havent come to find you since that youd know that Im letting you be with that woman. Dont call me anymore. I dont want to hear your voice anymore! Beep. Beep. Beep. Mo Bei was stunned before he fell into a panic His third relationship hadnt even started, so why did it end already? No! He didnt want it to end like this. He hurriedly called and booked a plane ticket, flying out abroad overnight. He accidentally lost her. He had upset her greatly. He was apologetic to her. But he suddenly realized that he couldnt let her go. He wanted to see her splendid smile, and watch her act cute. He also wanted to hear her chatter about the interesting things around her. He wanted to pursue her back.
