As Wen Xinya was leaving the Wen Family mansion, Grandma was holding hands with Xia Ruya and asking her to stay for lunch, and even instructed Mother Wang to whip up all of her favorite dishes. When Xinya walked across the living room, nobody acknowledged her except for Mother Wang who asked if she wanted to stay for lunch.
Grandpa wanted to make use of their talk today to show his stand and to let her know that he had always been thinking of her. Little did Grandpa know, she no longer cared for it. As such, their talk today did not make her feel any gratitude, but rather it took away the only chain that was tying her to the Wen Family.
Someday, she would take back everything that belonged to her.
Someday, she would get back everything they owed her and her mother.
After stepping out of the old Wen Mansion, she realized that the person waiting at the gates was not Uncle Zhang, but Si Yiyan!
Instead of his The Lucifer, he brought a silver grey Cayenne. The car’s smooth lines shimmered under the radiance of the sun, looking luxurious and elegant.
After Wen Xinya got into the car, Si Yiyan asked her, “What do you want to eat for lunch?”
Wen Xinya pondered for a while and then replied, “Seafood!”
They drove for over 10 minutes, yet they were getting further away from the destination, even going at high speed.
Wen Xinya looked at Si Yiyan unbelievably and cried, “Are you crazy! It takes an hour and a half to drive from the Capital City to Jin City. There’s no need to go so far just to eat seafood! By the time we reach Jin City, I would’ve starved to death.”
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “There’s no harm in going to Jin City to try their seafood, it’s pretty good. Anyway, it’s not like you have anything else to do. There are some snacks on the back seats, help yourself so you won’t be hungry.”
Although she was rather discontented, she was also craving the seafood at Jin City. After she shot Si Yiyan a glare, she turned to the back seat and took a bag of snacks.
Wen Xinya looked into the paper bag and said in surprise, “Wow, snacks from Imperial Court! You must have queued for a long time to get these!”
Snacks from Imperial Court were all freshly made with a limited amount for sale. There was no guarantee that you could get your hands on them even if you queued. She had always loved eating the snacks from there.
“Yup! It wasn’t that long!” Si Yiyan said while he watched her eat happily. Her happiness was contagious, making the two hours on the queue worth it.
“Try some too! It tastes good.” While eating the snack, she held out a piece to Si Yiyan. He was the one who queued for it, so there was no way she could enjoy it alone.
Si Yiyan was driving attentively. He turned his head and took a bite from the snack she was holding. He ate it deliciously and said, “Yup! It does taste good.”
Wen Xinya’s face flushed red at his intimate behavior. Before she could pull her hand back, Si Yiyan unexpectedly turned to it and took another bite. Not sure if it was intentional, he nimbly licked her finger. The damp, numb and ticklish feeling felt as if she was shocked by electricity, and she withdrew her hand subconsciously.
Wen Xinya’s heart went pit-a-pat uncontrollably. She was prepared to scold him, but when she turned toward him, she saw that he was focused on driving as if he did not notice anything from just now.
She hung her head in embarrassment, her words stuck in her throat, unable to say anything.
“Why did you stop eating? If you are thirsty, there’s also fruit tea from Imperial Court in the bag.” Si Yiyan turned to look at her, his eyes shining brightly.
Wen Xinya came back to her senses and said instinctively, “There are some crumbs on your mouth.”
Si Yiyan frowned and said, “Help me wipe with a tissue! It’s not convenient for me since I’m driving.”
“Here!” Wen Xinya reached out for the tissue box at the front and passed a piece to him.
To her surprise, Si Yiyan suddenly reached out with his hand and grabbed her.
“What are you doing, didn’t you say it’s not convenient since you are driving?” Wen Xinya blinked twice. His hand held her wrist with just enough strength that it did not hurt her, yet she could not struggle away.
“Yea, it is not convenient, so help me wipe!” Si Yiyan smirked and moved his head towards her hand, wiping his lips while moving her hand.
“Hey! Stop messing around, Si Yiyan. Focus on driving...” Wen Xinya saw that he had one hand on the steering wheel but he was not even looking at the road. As the car continued to move at high speed, she felt her life being threatened and quickly cautioned him to pay attention to the road.
Si Yiyan continued leaning towards her with his head slightly turned. There was a gleam in his eyes as he looked at her, his expression as bright as rubus flowers in full bloom.
“Fine! I... Will... Help... You!” Wen Xinya spurted out with her teeth clenched, and glared at Si Yiyan, fuming with anger. For the sake of her life, she had no choice but to wipe away the crumbs on his lips for him.
Si Yiyan smiled beamingly at her pouting face. The sun’s rays shone on her face through the window and dust particles danced in the transparent light. She looked as beautiful as a jade shining brightly.
“I’ve finished wiping. What else do you want?” Wen Xinya stared out of the window into the road moving at high speed. She felt all sorts of complicated emotions—panic, dread, and fear could be seen in her eyes. Despite her struggles, he held on tightly to her hand. The anger on her face further amplified her majestic beauty.
Si Yiyan replied in a low voice with a glint in his eyes, “I want...” Si Yiyan suddenly pulled her and Wen Xinya landed right on top of his body. He then bent down and sucked on her lips before saying, “This!”
Wen Xinya shouted in fury, “Si Yiyan, are you crazy! Let me go now and focus on driving. Do you know how dangerous it is to drive recklessly at high speed? I don’t want to lose my life here.”
“Relax, I definitely won’t let you die before me.” Si Yiyan looked at her without a care for his life. He landed a small kiss on her face with faint desire, and eventually could not resist going for her lips.
Strangely, Wen Xinya’s rage melted away like snow, leaving her feeling vexed. “Si Yiyan, I’m begging you, can you focus on driving? If we really do get into an accident, who knows what sort of crazy scandals the newspapers and magazines would publish. You don’t want that too, right?”
“I do! Dying under a peony, I’ll be happy even as a ghost!” Si Yiyan grinned. He then said seriously, “I’ll even tell them that the woman beside me is the woman I adore and let them write you as my fiance.”
Wen Xinya gritted her teeth.
Si Yiyan suddenly let go of her hand and held onto the steering wheel. He laughed softly and said, “Oh right, I forgot to tell you, the search radar of the car shows that there is not a single car ahead within five kilometers. This Cayenne model has a very high-end auto-pilot driving mode so... there is absolutely no danger!”
Wen Xinya’s eyes flew wide open and her delicate face turned red. She glared at Si Yiyan, but could not utter a single word.
Si Yiyan turned to look at her with a glint in his eyes. With a low voice, he said charmingly, “Don’t look at me like that, I won’t be able to hold back...” His eyes landed on her lips that were red from his kiss and his gaze deepened.
“You rotten punk!” Wen Xinya scolded and turned towards the window.
