Not wis.h.i.+ng to talk more about this issue, Si Yiyan changed the topic. “Xinya, your stepmother’s ways are down and dirty, making it impossible to guard against. If I hadn’t known about your chauffeur, Tao’s hospitalization by chance, and so specially came over to fetch you, you would’ve already gotten hit.”

What happened today still gave him gooseb.u.mps when he thought about it—if he had not come over to fetch her, wouldn’t she…

“I didn’t expect her to actually use such tactics to deal with me, either.” Recalling what happened, her heart also fluttered with fear. This bunch was not little thugs on the streets, but real, vicious, and cruel people from the underworld—the thought of it was terrifying.

Si Yiyan’s eyes glowed softly. “What do you intend to do?”

Wen Xinya shook her head and landed her clear gaze on Si Yiyan. “Si Yiyan, you’re so good at combat, why don’t you teach me! In the future, if I encounter such situations, I can also defend myself.”

However, Si Yiyan frowned in disapproval. “It’s tough to learn martial arts. Furthermore, you’re not young anymore, your bones are basically already fully developed. Thus, it’ll be difficult to learn martial arts.”

Thinking back at the hards.h.i.+p he had suffered while learning martial arts, he absolutely did not want Wen Xinya to taste such pain.

Idea! Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up as she tugged at his arm, and said with a tinge of tenderness, “No martial arts, but surely you can teach me a few moves for self-defense!”

With Si Yiyan’s skills, to impart her a few moves was more than sufficient for her.

Si Yiyan said seriously, “No problem, but… even the self-defense moves will take more than a few days to learn. How about I arrange a bodyguard for you! This way, your safety is a.s.sured.”

Wen Xinya scrunched her nose, looking all dejected. “No, please! It’s very weird to always have someone following me. Anyway, I’m not even an important or powerful person with a special ident.i.ty—no wealthy families’ daughters in the capital city bring bodyguards wherever they go.”

There was no room for negotiation in her rejection, and her eyes and face were all full of disapproval. Si Yiyan couldn’t insist and said hesitantly, “There’s a mysterious force behind Ning Shuqian that you can’t afford to go against currently. Now, with your safety threatened at every possible moment, I’m very worried.”

Raising her brows, Wen Xinya’s eyes were filled with astonis.h.i.+ng ferocity. “I dare say that today’s incident was purely the act of Ning Shuqian alone, nothing to do with the force behind her. Recalling Yang Chongguang’s death—how silent it’d been—if they wanted to deal with me, they wouldn’t have made so much noise.”

Si Yiyan’s brows furrowed deeply. Although he knew that she was right, he did not wish for Wen Xinya’s safety to be the slightest bit threatened.

Wen Xinya couldn’t help but explain. “Don’t you worry, I know what I’m doing. The force behind Ning Shuqian acts so secretively that even you can’t identify them, proving that they have their own fears, not daring to alert their enemies, acting cautiously. Thus, they don’t dare to act on me directly. Don’t worry! I can handle it.”

The Wen Family had wealth, and Grampy had manpower—they probably feared these, and so did not dare to act directly on her.

“Your a.n.a.lysis is very accurate, but we don’t know how many times will such incidents happen again. Why don’t…” Si Yiyan admired her for being intelligent and logical. However, he had never felt that a woman being too intelligent and logical could also be a headache, decreasing his chances to perform, at the very least.

Wen Xinya knew what he wanted to say and cut him off decisively. “Don’t meddle with the matters between me and Ning Shuqian—whatever Ning Shuqian has done to me, someday I will pay her back double.”
