Chapter 991 - The Battle Between Two Giants (1/2)

By the time Wen Xinya came to, she was already lying on the bed. She could recognize the room to be the one in the mansion where she lived with Si Yiyan. The decor of the room was familiar to her, too.

She gently pounded her head, realizing that she was no longer hallucinating. She no longer felt giddy or fuzzy-headed. That meant… she had returned to normal.

She had been rescued!

She could not help but be reminded of her last memory.

At the time, Wen Xinya could sense that the door was being opened. She could not speak, hear or see at all. Her spine was tensed up and she was breaking out into cold sweat. She gathered every bit of her energy and held the vase tightly before das.h.i.+ng forward.

She was not too sure about the details.

The only thing she could remember, was the intense scuffle that she had with the culprit. Everything that happened afterward remained a mystery to her because she could not recall it.

“Xinya, you’re awake!”

A clear and worried voice sounded in her ears.

Wen Xinya c.o.c.ked her head towards the side to see that it was the man whom she had been missing and thinking about. She leaped into his arms and pounded his chest angrily. “Yan, you baddie.”

Si Yiyan put a shoulder around her arm and comforted her softly. “Be good, you’re alright now!”

He kissed her sideburns and coaxed her softly in a bid to comfort her while an icy cold gaze formed in his eyes when she wasn’t looking.

Choking in between sobs, Wen Xinya began to recount everything that happened to her after she left the room.

Si Yiyan’s face grew increasingly sullen and he exuded a vibe that was as cold as snow. “You sniffed a chemical that caused you to have an abnormal adrenaline rush. That’s why you experienced those strange symptoms. Not to worry, they won’t damage your health.”

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief. “So that’s what happened. Seems like I’m not knowledgeable enough.”

Fortunately, she had experienced the effects of alcohol, drugs and mental torment in her previous lifetime. Hence, she managed to keep her cool this time and did not allow the foreign agent in her body to amplify her fear. It was also partially because she strongly believed that Si Yiyan would rescue her since they were on his territory. Hence, she was full of hope, which gave her the power to overcome her fear and try her best to save herself.

Wen Xinya frantically asked, “Yan, what exactly is going on? Did I fall into a conspiracy unknowingly?”

That was her greatest concern, and even at her last moments of consciousness, she felt that she was just bait in this conspiracy and that Si Yiyan was the main target. Back then, she constantly thought to herself, I wonder how Si Yiyan is doing.

Si Yiyan nodded and asked, “Xinya, do you know who else was in that room?”

Wen Xinya’s heart skipped a beat and she asked, “Who?”

Si Yiyan answered, “Mr. Berveld.”

“So it was him!” Wen Xinya’s eyes widened in shock as she thought to herself, It turns out he was the one who almost got intimate with me. That Berveld Family’s heir whom I got into a conflict with. Is this a coincidence or a part of a huge scheme?
