Chapter 140 - Gentle spoiling (1) (2/2)

“Oh yeah! When you saved me previously, you didn’t even show up to see me. Why are you appearing now?” Si Yiyan’s skin was very pale, but his skin texture revealed the hards.h.i.+ps of a man. His palm wrapped around her foot and the heat from his hands penetrated the skin of her foot and spread to her heart. An itchy sensation that of a cat scratch spread over her body, and she couldn’t help but move her foot away. “So ticklis.h.!.+”

Si Yiyan gently touched her foot twice and felt her foot twitch. The corners of his mouth hooked up involuntarily. “Today is your big day, the day you dazzle the most, how can I not come?”

He evaded her question and gave a light answer. He was seriously injured the previous time and had to return to Italy to undergo treatment for half a month before he could even get off the bed. Even now, his injury has not fully healed, but he wanted to attend Wen Xinya’s Homecoming party. The brothers of the Gu family unanimously opposed—not only because of his unhealed injury and his inability to travel long distances but also because the forces in Italy were turbulent and unpredictable. Leaving his nest meant that his safety could not be guaranteed.

Yet, he still insisted on coming. This was the most dazzling change of her life, how could he not witness it personally?

He flew from Italy at 7:00 AM this morning, and only reached the city at 7:00 PM. All for attending her Homecoming party and witnessing her glorious moment!

In a bit, he had to fly back to Italy!

“I thought you wouldn’t come.” Because she didn’t know how to contact him, she didn’ even send him an invitation letter. Si Yiyan had always been a mysterious individual, and she was disappointed when she first thought that he would not show up!

Si Yiyan’s pupils were dark and black and gave off the impression that he had annihilated the entire world. However, Wen Xinya saw her own figure in his eyes very clearly. He whispered in her ear, “I will always appear when you need me the most.”

Her heart tightened. Under his gaze, she felt like he had eyes only for her, and his focus made her tremble. She suddenly had difficulty breathing and shut her eyes. “Since you’re here, why did you not appear earlier? And you even had a mask to disguise yourself.”

Si Yiyan patted her head gently. “It’s not suitable for me to go public in my current condition.”

Today was her most grand day. He watched her stand on the stage and s.h.i.+ne with the brilliance of pearls, watched her suffer from the couple’s tricks like a helpless, broken b.u.t.terfly, watched her sway around pa.s.sionately in her youth, watched her proudly dance the Tango beautifully, and watched her wander around the guests with a smile.

At every moment, she stood out from the crowd with her blinding beauty. He wanted to capture all of them and remember them forever!

But… he also regretted. Such a big day, and he was not there by her side!

At that moment, he realized how great and dazzling she was, causing a sudden surge of emotion in his heart.

Thinking of this, his eyes hardened. Looks like he needed to quickly settle that bunch of people so that he could stay by her side publicly, watch her grow into a nine-day Phoenix, and keep the other guys at bay.

Wen Xinya’s heart surged suddenly too, her emotions that she was deliberately trying to suppress bursting out. She almost couldn’t hold them in.
