Chapter 595: Jealousy? What’s That?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Wen Xinya was happy about Xu Zhenyu’s return, she still had to be mindful of her behavior because it was her coming-of-age ceremony. Hence, she accepted the gift, after which Xu Zhenyu and Gu Junling proceeded to catch up with each other elsewhere.
Images of the Xu Zhenyu from her previous lifetime and the current Xu Zhenyu constantly flashed through her mind, making her feel like it was all too surreal. She did not expect that Xu Zhenyu would rush home to attend her coming-of-age ceremony, nor did she expect him to have changed so drastically. Although he spoke arrogantly, he was still refined and gentlemanly.
She would occasionally glance at Xu Zhenyu in a bid to gain a sense of familiarity that she had felt towards him.
However, Xu Zhenyu would often notice her staring at him and would look over to smile at her.
Wen Xinya felt a little flustered and anxious.
Si Yiyan had noticed her emotions.
Ever since Xu Zhenyu appeared, Si Yiyan’s heart had been palpitating.
He stared at the complicated mix of emotions in Xu Zhenyu’s eyes as if he and Wen Xinya had shared an unforgettable memory.
Just as Si Yiyan felt that he had been ignored, Wen Xinya looked up at him, seemingly having discovered that he was staring at her. She glanced at him with glistening eyes and smiled calmly like a flower.
He suddenly felt a little nervous.
Wen Xinya then walked towards him gracefully.
Si Yiyan squinted and started to regret preparing such a bright and golden gown for her.
It was too eye-catching!
He did not want others to gawk at her!
“What were you thinking about? Why did you seem so engrossed?” Si Yiyan asked while gazing at her.
Wen Xinya instinctively shook her head and answered, “Nothing much, I just didn’t expect Xu Zhenyu to rush back for my coming-of-age ceremony. Hence, I felt a little bewildered and it seemed surreal.”
“Fortunately, the reporters didn’t catch you staring blankly into space like a dimwit. Otherwise, your image as a suave and independent heroine would be ruined, Miss Wen.” He teased, trying to conceal his feelings of jealousy.
Wen Xinya punched his chest playfully and rebuked. “Who’s a dimwit? I’m lovable and likable.”
Si Yiyan simmered with laughter.
Wen Xinya again stole a glance at Xu Zhenyu from afar.
Si Yiyan looked away with a sullen expression.
Wen Xinya said, “Xu Zhenyu has changed so drastically. I can’t even believe that he’s Xu Zhenyu. But... that’s good...”
In this lifetime, his glorious and productive life made up for the misfortune that she had brought him in the previous lifetime.
Si Yiyan stared at Xu Zhenyu and thought that he must have pushed himself into becoming a better person within a short period of time because of a woman. He was well aware that Xu Zhenyu adored Wen Xinya just as much as he did.
He had never been an upright and ethical gentleman. The real him was scheming and unscrupulous.
Back then, he had a part to play in causing Wen Xinya’s and Xu Zhenyu’s scandal to be blown out of proportion. Just like he had expected, the prideful Xu Zhenyu felt that he was not worthy of Wen Xinya and hence, chose to keep his feelings to himself and leave for Northwest Main Millitary Camp.
Si Yiyan had taken advantage of the situation and intervened.
Wen Xinya said gleefully, “Si Yiyan, I’m glad to see how successful he has become. I’m really very happy!”
She would never bare her complicated emotions to anyone except Si Yiyan.
Si Yiyan kissed her gently.
Wen Xinya finally got a grip on her emotions and asked Si Yiyan, “Why are you hiding alone in this corner?”
When she spotted him amongst the crowd just now, he looked a little bewildered under the mesmerizing light in the banquet hall. Yet, it could not light his beautiful narrow eyes up.
Si Yiyan squinted and pulled her towards the hall, hinting for her to glance at it. “Look!”
A smart man ought to know how to observe things while staying composed and unnoticeable.
Wen Xinya was greeted with a full view of the banquet hall.
“By standing here, I can see each and every expression of yours,” Si Yiyan said with swirling the glass of sparkling champagne in his hand, appearing extremely posh and noble.
Wen Xinya smiled and asked, “Are you really just looking at me? Didn’t you take the chance to ogle at the other beautiful babes here?”
Si Yiyan chuckled and asked, “Are you getting jealous?”
He had indeed looked at other beautiful women like Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian.
“Jealous? What’s that? Can I eat it?” Wen Xinya instinctively looked at the numerous beautiful girls amongst the crowd, filled with disgruntlement.
Si Yiyan burst into laughter at her denial. “Yes! You can even soak in it!”
Wen Xinya glowered at him and retorted. “Seems like you have a lot of experience, Ninth Young Master. Have you done it before?”
Previously, he had been extremely jealous about Chu Jingnan too. Back when she first mentioned about wanting to be admitted to Capital University, the first thing Si Yiyan said was that Chu Jingnan was also a student of Capital University. How could he have paid attention to a small fry like Chu Jingnan? He was clearly getting jealous.
“Yes! I’ve done it several times before. I had even soaked in it just now,” Si Yiyan said, appearing calm and composed, in fact a little aloof.
He had noticed the changes in her expressions and he was also aware that she had been secretly looking for news about Xu Zhenyu for the past two years.
He had also seen how she and Xu Zhenyu bantered and bickered with each other teasingly, such that even the reporters could not interrupt. Everyone else seemed to have become irrelevant and he had also noticed that Wen Xinya and Xu Zhenyu seemed to have shared an inexplicable chemistry that no one could disrupt.
Not even him.
At this moment, he was filled with jealousy.
Wen Xinya looked way and felt a little ashamed at the thought of Xu Zhenyu. She hugged Si Yiyan’s waist and said, “Too much jealousy is bad for you.”
Si Yiyan was an intelligent person who had definitely sensed something fishy about her and Xu Zhenyu. She did have complicated feelings about Si Yiyan. However, she was well aware that Si Yiyan was the one whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “So, you must treasure my body.”
Wen Xinya chuckled, feeing as if a boulder had been lifted off her chest.
