Chapter 1070 - Traitor (1/2)

Si Yiyan arranged for a ten-seater limousine to pick them up.

The guys were having a casual conversation in the backseat. Gu Junling was talkative while Ling Qingxuan was bubbly. Han Mofeng did not make things difficult for Si Yiyan, either. Of course, they were all talking about common topics amongst men.

Gu Junling took the chance to sound Si Yiyan out, in a bid to find out about his family background. Being smart and sharp, Si Yiyan obviously understood what he was trying to do. However, he played along because he knew that they were just concerned about Wen Xinya.

Although Han Mofeng was not as upset with Si Yiyan as he used to be, he still felt rather conflicted. As Wen Xinya’s friend, he ought to respect Wen Xinya’s choice and decision. Besides, there seemed to be no flaw in Si Yiyan’s appearance, manners, eloquence, and aura. Xu Zhenyu may not be inferior, but he still lacked a brilliant and scheming mind.

The girls chatted merrily in front.

Zhou Tianyu held onto Wen Xinya’s hand and said in awe, “He’s indeed the rare Mr. Perfect. We pale in comparison to him.”

She had observed Si Yiyan for a long time. Putting the fact that he had risked his life to rescue Wen Xinya aside, she also noticed that Si Yiyan had never once taken his eyes off Wen Xinya.

Xu Tongxuan laughed and said, “Look at those two rascals behind. When we were in the room, they were still thinking of how they should punish you. In the end, they ended up paling in comparison to Si Yiyan. I feel so ashamed for them.”

Wen Xinya did not show her amus.e.m.e.nt. Everyone was too shocked by Si Yiyan’s brave decision to step into the dangerous fire to rescue Wen Xinya, so much that they did not even think about anything else. After recovering from the shock, they felt that they would be letting Si Yiyan off too easy if they were to just let the matter slide.

Du Ruo giggled and said, “Xinya and Brother Si are so compatible with each other. They’re both elegant and talented. One of them is like bamboo in the mountains which has been through snowstorms, while the other is opulent and resplendently beautiful like a flower in spring.”

They nodded in agreement with Du Ruo.

Zhou Tianyu lowered her volume and asked, “Xinya, this Si Yiyan doesn’t seem like a simple person. He’s full of rigor and he looks murderous too. How much do you know about his background?”

Zhou Tianyu was always sharp and sensitive when it came to judging people. Hence, she was rather worried about Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya nodded hesitantly and said, “I know all about his background. He’s never hid anything from me before.”

Her answer was sincere and concise.

After exchanging glances with Zhou Tianyu, Xu Tongxuan said, “Si Yiyan seems to be very mysterious. However, none of the promising youths in our city can compare to him in terms of looks and aura. Logically speaking, such an outstanding man should be very well known. We’ve been living here for so many years, but we’ve never once seen him before. Such a powerful man like him is not easy to control. We’re just worried that you might be too deep into the relations.h.i.+p.”

Wen Xinya had her own reasons for not telling them about her boyfriend’s background and true ident.i.ty. As her friends, they could understand her plight, though they had to say what was necessary.

Touched to know that they were doing it all for her own good, Wen Xinya said, “I know you guys are worried about me. He’s indeed very outstanding, but I’m not weak either. Besides, I won’t forever stay this way. I’ll slowly strengthen myself and grow to be as strong as him. Besides… he’s also my Grampy’s best student. My Grampy is never wrong about people. Not to mention, he treats me very well too. Remember when I got abducted? Both times… he risked his own life to save mine, just like what he did just now…”

She could not put Si Yiyan’s attributes into words, neither could she make others experience the good that he had done her. She was the only one who could feel it.
