Chapter 1076: Similarly Unscrupulous

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xu Xianghu, Gu Yuehan, and Yueze felt like crying.

Xu Xianghu was so close to doing a handkerchief dance. “Sob sob sob sob... Boss, you can’t leave us behind...”

His voice was cold, pitiful, depressing, tear-jerking, and made everyone who heard it feel his pain.

Si Yiyan couldn’t be bothered with how “sentimental” the voice calling out behind him sounded. For him, it was all sunny and positive for him right now, so much so that even he didn’t realize how light his footsteps were.

He arrived at the living room devoid of Wen Xinya.

Si Yiyan made his way to the kitchen habitually. Indeed, he saw the person that he was missing, clad in an apron and washing her hands in preparation to make tonic soup for him.

Emotions overwhelmed him as he couldn’t help but sneak up on her and hug her from behind. “What are you going to make?”

Previously, when he suffered from insomnia, Xinya had taken care of him conscientiously, switching up new ways of making all sorts of medicinal cuisines for him every day—he totally had his fill. Indeed... the insomnia that had plagued him for a long time recovered in just a short half a month’s time.

It was her credit.

Wen Xinya smiled. “I’m going to make oyster soup.”

Oyster soup was the best supplement for men. Not only was it highly nutritious, but it was also rather mild, save for the fact that it took a great amount of effort to brew. Thus, she usually brewed a huge pot once every three days.

Si Yiyan placed his chin on her shoulder. “My insomnia has already recovered. You don’t have to spend so much effort to brew soup for me.”

Although he enjoyed the feeling of her making soup for him, oyster soup was really too exhausting to make. Recently, she had already been very tired from learning from Old Mr. Mo.

Wen Xinya handled the oyster flesh as she said, “Oyster soup isn’t just to cure insomnia. It nourishes the heart, brain, kidneys and overall well-being. Grandpa Du said that this dish is also extremely good for your ailment.”

Currently, Si Yiyan was already undergoing Grandpa Du’s treatment which wasn’t complicated at all. Every Wednesday and Sunday, he went to Grandpa Du’s place for a detoxifying herbal bath and Grandpa Du’s exclusive acupuncture treatment. Combined with medicinal stones and medicinal cuisines, the results were obvious.

A few days ago, she had gone with Si Yiyan to the hospital for a scan. The doctor said that the shadow in Si Yiyan’s chest had reduced slightly, which made her feel happy and more encouraged to help Si Yiyan recuperate.

Si Yiyan nodded and rubbed his chin on her shoulder. “Xu Xianghu, Gu Yuehan, and Yueze are over and are expected to stay for dinner tonight.”

He actually didn’t want to trouble Xinya, but when he thought about how the few of them had sacrificed themselves and suffered the wrath of Gu Yuexi for his relaxed and happy lifestyle, he wanted to reward them with this meal. It was better to be less annoying and reward hard work when it was due.

Thus, later, when Xu Xianghu held the rice bowl in his hand and saw the sumptuous meal on the table, he would be almost touched to tears. His heart, heavily tortured by Gu Yuexi to the point of hopelessness, would be instantly healed.

Sob sob sob sob! What an awesome boss!

Of course, if they knew that it was their boss who sent Gu Yuexi to Russia, making them suffer in order to live a relaxed life with their Sis-in-law, who knew how would they feel.

Needless to say, this was an afterthought.

Wen Xinya asked in shock, “Why did they come over suddenly, are they done with the work in Russia? As the internal leaders of Lucifer, they left just like this—there’s someone holding the fort at Lucifer over there?”

She knew that Gu Yuehan and the few of them were Si Yiyan’s most trusted assistants. Lucifer had just been through a rough storm and had yet to settle down. How could they be absent from the office?

Si Yiyan said vaguely, “Yup. They’re almost done. Anyway, they’re going to leave soon.”

Under Gu Yuexi’s pressure, they wouldn’t dare to continue staying.

Thinking that they knew what they were doing, Wen Xinya didn’t pursue the matter. “In that case, I’ll fill the table with sumptuous dinner to celebrate both their return and departure.”

Indeed, they belonged to the same family and were similarly unscrupulous.

Si Yiyan laughed. “Trouble my wife.”

Everyone agreed that Wen Xinya had great culinary skills. Gu Yuehan and the rest were proud of having tasted dishes personally made by Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya said, “No trouble. I’ll get Mother Wang to help me.”

Mother Wang’s culinary skills were much better than her and she knew her place.

Si Yiyan bit on Wen Xinya’s ear gently and said in the low voice, “Xinya, if you wish to learn political tactics, I can also teach you, and be even more thorough than Old Mr. Mo.”

He knew that the main reason for Xinya’s hectic learning these days was learning political tactics from Old Mr. Mo. Although Old Mr. Mo only arranged an hour’s lesson for her every day, due to the hazy nature of the topic, more time was needed to study it—without grasping the day’s lesson quickly, one wouldn’t be able to follow the next day’s lesson.

After all, Old Mr. Mo employed a self-directed learning approach, providing minimal assistance and depended heavily on the student.

Lately, as Gu Yuexi had taken over Russia and he also knew that Si Yiyan was currently receiving treatment, he had taken charge of almost half of Xiasi Group’s matters. Suddenly, Si Yiyan’s time was freed up.

His free time, in contrast with Xinya’s business, instantly made him experience the taste of being neglected.

He had learned his political tactics from Old Mr. Mo and had suggested teaching Xinya so that the two of them could spend more time together.

Wen Xinya knew that her recent learning of political tactics had more or less neglected Si Yiyan and felt slightly guilty, but she still said in rejection, “Yan, Grampy has a cautious attitude towards political tactics and was also very careful before he taught me. I know that he’s afraid that I’ll go astray due to this and has meticulously prepared each day’s lesson—how can I disappoint him?”

She wasn’t unwilling to learn from Si Yiyan but didn’t want to disappoint Grampy. Political tactics was a double-edged sword that she had always wanted to learn. However, without Grampy’s instructions, even though Si Yiyan was proficient in this topic, she didn’t learn it.

She also believed that Si Yiyan’s teaching would also be good for her. However, she knew that Grampy only trusted himself to teach her personally.

Si Yiyan knew her thoughts and frowned slightly.

Wen Xinya turned around and hugged his waist. “The lessons recently won’t be as hazy and difficult as previously. I’ll take more time to accompany you.”

It was indeed her fault to neglect Si Yiyan by being so busy during the rare break of the summer holidays.

Only then did Si Yiyan accept unwillingly. However, he needed to think of a way to ensure that his rights as her boyfriend-cum-fianceé wouldn’t be so passive anymore.
