Chapter 1392: The Side Effects of Excessive Bliss

Si Yiyan looked up and asked, “Do you want to watch us cross cups?”

Ye Feiyu and Du Ruo nodded fervently. “We do!”

Si Yiyan said, “You’ll get the chance to see it during our wedding!”

Cup-crossing signified marriage!

Newlyweds would usually cross cups on the night of their wedding before they consummated their marriage. It signified the union of two people, endless bliss and the couple’s intentions to grow old together!

As a man who respected Traditional marriage customs, Si Yiyan obviously wouldn’t perform such a significant custom as a joke during a gathering. He felt that it could only be done once during their wedding.

They looked at each other in shock and dismay.

“Don’t you want to cross cups? Why have you stopped drinking?”

Si Yiyan managed to salvage the situation and they silently gave him a Like. Of course, that did not include Gu Junling, Zhou Tianyu, and Xu Zhenyu, who detested Si Yiyan.

At last, Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu crossed cups resignedly under the pressure of their friends.

The gathering only ended at half-past ten at night. Xu Zhenyu had been trying to find a chance to make Si Yiyan drink. At last, Wen Xinya drank on his behalf. However, Si Yiyan did not stop her either. Instead, he hid behind Wen Xinya’s back and let her drink for him, thus making Xu Zhenyu feel extremely exasperated.

“Hug me!” Wen Xinya exclaimed while staring at Si Yiyan with teary eyes and extended arms.

Si Yiyan pulled her into his embrace and chuckled before asking, “Are you drunk?”

Wen Xinya rubbed her head against Si Yiyan’s chest and exclaimed, “No!”

Si Yiyan laughed silently, for he knew that she was almost drunk.

“You drank plenty of alcohol just now. Are you alright?” Although she had been drinking on Si Yiyan’s behalf, Si Yiyan was still forced to drink lots of alcohol.

For the past three years, Si Yiyan had been receiving treatment from Old Mr. Du. Although his old ailments had already recovered and he did not suffer a relapse in the past three years, it was still difficult for his condition to be treated completely because of how long he had been delaying treatment for. He would still have to rely on frequent treatments and nourishing. Besides... Old Mr. Du had also specially instructed him to be more mindful of the details and abstain from alcohol.

Hence, Wen Xinya had been strictly forcing him to reduce his alcohol intake.

Fortunately, Si Yiyan was not an avid drinker. Besides, he was on top of the world and commanded great respect. Even if he did not wish to drink during social events and entertainment dinners, no one would dare to force him to do so.

Si Yiyan gently caressed her rosy cheeks and said softly, “I know my limits. I take my health seriously too.”

Throughout all these years, Wen Xinya had been putting in great effort into nourishing his body and his ailments were also healing rapidly beyond Old Mr. Du’s expectations. Wen Xinya deserved credit for that.

Since Wen Xinya cared so much about his body, he naturally wouldn’t make her worry.

Wen Xinya finally heaved a sigh of relief. She said softly, “You have to go to Old Mr. Du for a herbal bath and acupuncture next week.”

The frequency of Si Yiyan’s medical treatments under Old Mr. Du was reduced from twice a week to once every fortnight. He had also stopped taking Traditional Chinese medicine and focused on nourishing his body with herbal and nutritious food.

Wen Xinya laid in Si Yiyan’s arms and warmed her cold body up.

“Si Yiyan.” She called his name out of the blue.

“Yes?” Si Yiyan asked, keeping his eyes fixed on her.

“Nothing... nothing much!” Wen Xinya hurriedly looked away from his eyes which were bright and glaring like the starry sky during summer nights.

Si Yiyan tried to observe her expression, for he could not forget that she tried to speak but stopped as if there was something she wanted to say. However, she managed to hide her emotions.

Wen Xinya looked down and hid her emotions. “Si Yiyan, do you know? I have a feeling that everything I have today is just like a dream. It feels so surreal and it’s like it will all vanish as soon as I wake up from my dream.”

It had been six or seven years since her rebirth and her memory of the previous lifetime began to get more and more vague. She rarely thought about the devastating events of her past. However, she could not help but find it surreal at times.

She wanted to tell Si Yiyan how pathetic of a plight she was in her previous lifetime and how grotesque she used to be. She wanted to ask him if he would still accept her if she was in such a state now!

However, she could not bring herself to say the words whenever she wanted to.

Call her selfish, but she just wanted Si Yiyan to see the most perfect side of hers and leave her unkempt past in the previous lifetime.

“You’re feeling this way because you feel like what you have now is too good to be true. Things that are too perfect often make everyone find it surreal and uncertain. I guess that’s the side effect of excessive bliss.”

Si Yiyan did not prove about the reason for her emotions. However, it did not stop him from guessing that it might have something to do with her secret.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “That’s the first time I’ve ever heard of that.”

However, Si Yiyan was right in a sense. The stark contrast between her two lifetimes made her feel anxious and terrified.

Si Yiyan kissed her forehead and said, “I feel proud if you have such a feeling.”

Reason being, that would be proof that he had given her bliss.

Regardless of what secret she was hiding, she was at least happy. That was more than enough for him.

Wen Xinya cocked her head towards the side and began laughing loudly. “Is this what it means to be superficial and conceited?”

When she was reborn, she was overwhelmed with her desire for revenge and had never once thought about love or marriage. However, she now felt fortunate for Si Yiyan’s existence because he had completed her life.

Si Yiyan answered, “If you say so!”

Not all men had the ability to bring bliss to the woman they loved and hence, it was something that was worth being proud of.
