Chapter 962 - I Must Be Sick (1/2)

Sitting on the couch, Si Yiyan fiddled with the dragon-shaped jade piece while watching the equestrian competition that Gu Yuehan had taken a video recording of. The massive screen size and high resolution made the competition look much more exciting and daunting compared to the tablet.

She was sharp, elegant and proud when he met her for the first time at Jo-ramst.

After getting to know her better, he felt that she was composed, rational, intelligent and full of wisdom.

During her homecoming party, all the attention was on her and she was just like a resplendent butterfly.

During her coming-of-age ceremony, she was full of prestige, class, elegance, and splendor, just like a glorious phoenix.

Yet, in front of him, she was just like a meek woman—tender, gentle, coquettish and petty.

In the video, she was now straddling the horse in a suave manner, clad in a silver horseback riding attire that accentuated her curves and figure. She had one hand on the reign and one hand on the whip, her beautiful brows extending towards the side of her face and her eyes lifted up. She looked proud, confident and full of vigor. Her rosy lips were curled into a sinister smirk and she looked rather intimidating.

The horse was subdued beneath her and subjected to her beckoning. She whipped the horse forcefully and her whip seemed to have cut through the air. It was his first time witnessing her carrying out a sport with such finesse.

He was dazed and fascinated.

He found it a shame that he had missed that scene.

The sounds of someone knocking on the door could be heard.

“Come in!” Si Yiyan exclaimed while switching off the crystal display.

Gu Yuehan pushed the door and entered together with Yueze and Xu Xianghu.

As soon as Xu Xianghu entered the study, he sprinted towards the couch and took a seat before grabbing the cup in front of Si Yiyan impatiently. “Ah, I’m parched.”

Si Yiyan raised his brows and a sullen expression formed on his face.

A cold shiver was sent down Xu Xianghu’s spine and he moved his hand away from the cup awkwardly. “Are you kidding me, Boss? You summoned us at such short notice. Surely you’re not going to forbid me from drinking a glass of water?”

Si Yiyan grabbed the cup and said coldly, “If you want to drink water, pour some for yourself. This is Ginseng tea made by your Sis-in-law. It helps with nourishing the blood.”

Xu Xianghu lamented in his head. I hate it when people value lust over brotherhood.

Gu Yuehan raised his eyelids, thinking to himself that his eyes must have been playing tricks on him. He refused to believe that a smug expression appeared on Si Yiyan’s face.

He could not help but be reminded of the time when Si Yiyan injured his arm. Back then, Wen Xinya had also spent all day serving Si Yiyan, wishing she could take care of all of his needs.

Yueze smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that Sis-in-law would be so meticulous in taking care of others!”

His minor injury did not warrant such exaggerated aftercare.

Si Yiyan smiled and raised his eyelids. “Yes, your Sis-in-law has learned about medical techniques and she knows quite a bit about herbal recipes and nourishing foods.”

He sounded rather proud of Wen Xinya, causing the rest to be speechless.

Si Yiyan could not be bothered to care about what they were thinking. After bragging about his gentle, meticulous and virtuous girlfriend, he began talking about serious matters. “I got you guys to come here today so that we can discuss something.”
