Chapter 1354: What Else Are You Hiding from Me?

At last, Old Mr. Wen left the Mo Family home, filled with displeasure. While leaving, he even turned around to look at the smiling Si Yiyan with a threatening expression, seemingly trying to give him a warning.

At this point, Old Mr. Wen had yet to realize that he would often act immaturely and break out of his usual composure whenever he was facing Si Yiyan. It was as if Si Yiyan had stolen his favorite toy.

After Old Mr. Wen left, Wen Xinya decided to settle the scores with Si Yiyan. Glowering at him, she questioned, “Why did you keep spitting Grandpa with your words? Grandpa doesn’t know about our relationship. Once he finds out, he’s going to be furious.”

Si Yiyan had met Old Mr. Wen thrice. The first time was when he tagged along with Old Mr. Mo. During the first meeting, Old Mr. Wen admired Si Yiyan greatly and they even chatted merrily with each other.

The second meeting was at the hospital where Old Mr. Wen began to keep his guard up against Si Yiyan because of the ambiguity of their relationship. The two of them exchanged sarcastic remarks, thus making Wen Xinya feel extremely worried.

This time, Old Mr. Wen obviously disliked the idea of Si Yiyan staying over at the Mo Family home and thus, began harboring animosity against him. To make matters worse, Si Yiyan even tried to provoke him verbally, making Wen Xinya feel extremely nervous.

Holding Wen Xinya in his arms, Si Yiyan said, “You’re worrying too much. Your Grampy was against our relationship at the start too, but he approves of it now, doesn’t he?”

Si Yiyan felt that it was the best time for him to make his relationship with Wen Xinya public, though he had to do it slowly. It was best to let Old Mr. Wen find out completely on his own. By then, everything would have been set in stone and it wouldn’t be that difficult for him to accept it.

He still remembered the problems that came along after Old Mr. Mo found out about their relationship. Wen Xinya was extremely worried for a long time and was even stuck in the middle. In order to win Old Mr. Mo over, Si Yiyan even put in painstaking efforts to please him. Yet, Old Mr. Mo still nitpicked on him every now and then.

Hence, he wouldn’t commit that mistake again.

Still feeling worried, Wen Xinya said, “Grandpa is much more stubborn and uncompromising compared to Grampy. If he were to find out about us… I’m worried he might not be able to accept it.”

It was not that she did not wish to make her relationship with Si Yiyan public. However, she was rather worried and anxious whenever she thought about Old Mr. Mo’s initial reaction to their relationship. Although Old Mr. Mo was understanding towards them, she still felt uneasy about the way he picked on Si Yiyan.

“You must have faith in me. Since I’ve decided to make you mine, I’ll definitely get rid of all the obstacles before us. I won’t let you be caught in between or put in a spot.” Making that mistake was unforgivable for him and hence, he had to be meticulous this time.

The two of them had been in a relationship for years and they had also been through thick and thin. Hence, Wen Xinya obviously trusted him. “Yes, I trust you.”

Si Yiyan raised her chin gently and kissed her while licking her lips. “Since you trust me, shouldn’t you be telling me why you’ve been so flustered lately?”

His voice was deep and alluring. It was so charming that it seemed to be able to pierce through her heart and soul.

Throughout the past two days, there had been fluctuations in Wen Xinya’s emotions. She would sometimes be flustered and anxious and sometimes stare blankly into space. Although she thought that she had concealed her emotions well, Si Yiyan noticed everything.

“Is… that so?” Wen Xinya murmured as her heart raced rapidly. She was feeling flustered because she was extremely worried about Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu. After her rebirth, she got to know Zhou Tianyu and the rest of her friends through Xu Zhenyu. She was glad to have known them and truly treasured their friendship. Hence, she naturally hoped that Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu could end up together blissfully.

However, she now realized that things were far more complicated than she had imagined. Yet, there were no clues that she could continue investigating from and all of her conjectures were based on her experience from the previous lifetime. Hence, how was she supposed to tell Si Yiyan about it?

Regardless of whether she was hiding it from Si Yiyan out of selfishness or dishonesty… she did not wish to let him know about her rebirth.

Si Yiyan cupped her face and looked her in the eye. “Xinya, look at me!”

Having been dating each other for years, Si Yiyan had already developed a high sensitivity towards her and her emotions. Being extremely intelligent, he obviously discovered that Wen Xinya was hiding a huge secret that he did not know of. However, she would often reveal a tinge of despair, morose and melancholy, thus making him feel rather daunted.

The Wen Xinya whom he knew would never show such emotions.

Despite being forced to make eye contact with Si Yiyan, she darted her eyes all around the place unnaturally. “Yan… I’m just worried about Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling. I have a hunch that the Zhou Family is in some trouble that might be a threat to Gu Junling’s life. It’s not that I didn’t wish to tell you about it, but rather, I didn’t know how to express my conjectures and instincts!”

At last, Wen Xinya chose to come clean with Si Yiyan. Although she could hide some things from him, she would never be able to fabricate lies to deceive him.

If she were to do that, she would never forgive herself.

Staring at her in the eye, Si Yiyan finally understood why she kept pressing him for the results of his investigation on the Zhou Family. “I’ll definitely believe everything you say unconditionally. From now on… don’t keep everything to yourself. Otherwise, you might end up harming yourself and stressing yourself out.”

He then placed his hand on the back of her head and massaged it.

Si Yiyan naturally trusted her. He also knew that Wen Xinya began feeling uneasy only after Zhou Tianyu visited her at the Mo Family home the other day.

He guessed that Wen Xinya had probably sensed something amiss with Zhou Tianyu’s attitude towards Gu Junling. That was the reason she was feeling so uneasy.

Of course, there might be another reason too…

“I’m sorry, I won’t do this again,” said Wen Xinya, who was brimming with tears. She felt extremely touched to hear Si Yiyan’s words and began to think that she was worrying for nothing. Although she was no longer brooding over the painful past of her previous lifetime, she still allowed it to affect her attitude towards Si Yiyan.

Si Yiyan held onto Wen Xinya’s waist in a relaxed manner, though there was a tinge of gloominess in his eyes.

Although he did not manage to find anything inappropriate after investigating on the Zhou Family, that was the very reason he decided to be more conscientious and lie low while investigating, lest he alarm them. He did not bring it up to Wen Xinya because he had yet to find any actual clues for now.
