Chapter 1537 - Booking a Flight to Milan (1/2)

Counting back, they had not been in contact for five whole days. He had kept his phone constantly by his side, and would habitually take it out for a look. Every moment was spent looking forward to her call.

Wen Xinya’s soft, coquettish voice drifted through the phone into his ears. His heart softened into one big mushy mess.

He heard her say, “Si Yiyan, I miss you so much!”

Her gentle, lilting voice was full of longing for him. It was like a huge rock had been tossed into his heart, plunging in deep and giving rise to countless ripples of desire to see her.

The two of them continued murmuring intimate sweet nothings to each other.

“Ah, my phone battery is running out.” Wen Xinya whined in annoyance when she heard the warning beep. She had not charged her mobile phone since coming to Milan and handing it over to Mr. Ronda. On arrival at the airport, she had immediately called Si Yiyan but didn’t pay attention to how much battery life was left.

“Since your phone battery is running out, let’s hang up then. You have had a long day and should go to bed earlier.” Si Yiyan felt rather regretful. He noted that they had already been on the phone for one and a half hours, but it felt like they had just started chatting and hadn’t really said anything much yet.

Wen Xinya was somewhat reluctant. “Just like that?”

They had clearly said a lot of words earlier, but now that the time had come to hang up, it felt like they had not spoken much at all.

Si Yiyan said in a soft voice, “You hang up first!”

“No, you first!” Wen Xinya immediately refused in a sulky tone.

“Good girl, behave!” Si Yiyan coaxed.

“I don’t want to. You hang up first!” Wen Xinya fussed.

The two of them continued in this clingy and reluctant manner, neither of them willing to hang up. Another 10 minutes passed in this way.

Finally, Wen Xinya’s phone gave a beep and her screen went black. Her mobile phone had automatically shut off from the lack of battery life. Vexed, she glared at the phone. “Hateful phone. Why are you so useless? Couldn’t you have held on just a little longer? I didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye to Si Yiyan!”

With that, she flung the phone onto the bed in exasperation.

Si Yiyan couldn’t help smiling when he heard the dial tone on his phone. He could just imagine the expression on his little baby’s face now. How frustrated she must be. He bet she would be venting her anger at her phone.

“One hour, 42 minutes and 53 seconds.” Gu Yuexi raised his left hand to glance at his watch. He was not wearing glasses, so those pitch-black eyes glittered cold and sharp, like black agates under the sun.

This type of sharpness held a sense of danger. All those who gazed into those eyes would feel threatened and raise their guard against him. This was a disadvantage to him, which was why he always wore a pair of glasses.

Apart from Rex, he more or less never took off his glasses in front of anyone else.

Sis-in-law had once asked him to take off his glasses out of curiosity. However, he had instantly rejected her request.
