Chapter 1488 - You Are Such a Sensitive, Sweet Baby (1/2)
The board was the core of the Wen Corporation’s management. So every person who joined the board would have to undergo a formal introduction ceremony. It was extremely important as a position in the board was a long-term affair.
Wen Xinya was no exception. Her introduction ceremony had been scheduled to be held two days later at 10 in the morning in the board meeting room on level nine of Wen Corporation. Grandpa had already made all the proper prior arrangements for her.
Thereafter, Grandpa held onto her arm and talked to her about several other matters, such as his recovery and the current state of the Wen Corporation, as well as the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
After speaking at length, Grandpa’s eyes remained shining, as if he still had something else to say.
Wen Xinya knew what was on his mind. Grandpa probably wished to ask about Ninth Si. Now that she and Ninth Si had officially stepped out as a couple, the media had been digging up all sorts of information about them. Even the fact that Ninth Si was Grampy’s student had been reported on. Further, online fans of Xinya had been analyzing the compatibility level between Si Yiyan and her.
Si Yiyan was powerful and aristocratic with handsome, god-like looks, as well as a student of Old Mr. Mo. As a result, he had attracted a large number of fans—the coupling of junior sister with senior brother had captured the imaginations of many people. Everyone expressed their support and blessings for Si Yiyan and her.
But Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan had never officially responded to news of their “romance”. Everyone could only rely on their own creativity and conjectures about the couple.
It was natural that Grandpa would suspect her relationship with Si Yiyan.
Of course, Si Yiyan couldn’t help feeling rather confounded. Although Si Yiyan and her more or less purposely tried to keep their relationship under wraps, they had already officially stepped out in front of Grandpa as a couple. How slow must Grandpa be to still not realize the relationship between them!
Perhaps her lack of sensitivity toward relationships had been inherited from the Wen Family?
But since Grandpa was not making the first move to mention this matter, it was also not appropriate for her to take initiative to clarify things. After all, Grandpa and Ninth Si had never gotten along. For her to raise the subject now would be like charging straight into the line of fire, and she had never had a death wish.
“What are you thinking about?” Si Yiyan asked casually when he noticed the change in her expression.
“I am thinking that since we are gradually going public with our relationship, we should also make things clear to Grandpa.” Grandpa was their elder. Although he and Si Yiyan did not get along, the couple was in a trial marriage and it was only right that they account to Grandpa on it.
Si Yiyan looked somewhat displeased at the mention of it. “What’s there to account for? He will naturally know of it when the time comes.”
There was a guarded light in Si Yiyan’s eyes. It was a fact that he and Xinya’s relationship went deep, but it was now the crucial moment of Xinya’s dreams and career development. It was obvious she would not be marrying him anytime soon. There was still a long way to go for them as a couple.
It was not a good time to come clean with Old Mr. Wen on their romance. Old Mr. Wen had never liked him, and if they told him about their budding relationship, that old man might come up with some ploy to obstruct the development of their love. He might not oppose them openly, but he might introduce some other young, promising handsome guy to stand in their way.
Although he was not afraid, it would be very vexing for Xinya to be caught in the middle. It must be an extremely unpleasant feeling to always have someone trying to cause trouble between the two of them.
So he planned to only inform Old Mr. Wen about their relationship after they got engaged.
