Chapter 1701 - : Si Yiyan Is Home! (2/2)

***

Si Yiyan was standing by the window wearing a tea-colored shirt. The sunlight reflected from his long, slender frame dazzled her.

Did this perfect, flawless man really belong to her?

Wen Xinya paused. Five days’ worth of anxiety bubbled in her heart.

She suddenly realized that in reality, she was the weaker party in this relationship.

No matter where he was, he controlled her feelings, thoughts, and actions like a puppeteer pulling a puppet’s strings.

Si Yiyan could disappear from her life without a trace. But she realized that there was no way she could ever bear to leave him now.

Si Yiyan slowly turned around. “Darling, I am back!”

Wen Xinya smiled tearfully as she leaped into his arms.

Whatever hesitations and doubts she had were totally thrown to the back of her mind.

Look, it was just that simple. Just one glance, one word from Si Yiyan could attract her like a moth toward a flame, making her pounce into his embrace without any qualms.

She plunged her body into his, but he remained steadfast and unmoving. “Did you miss me?”

Wen Xinya pouted. “No, not at all.”

However, her arms around his waist tightened.

“You have made me wait for 100 days, 2,400 hours, 144,000 minutes, and 8,640,000 seconds. Every day, every hour, every minute and every second, I have been missing you.”

Wen Xinya’s voice was low and raspy as she narrated how much she missed this man.

Si Yiyan was suddenly speechless.

The gravity of his embrace displayed just how deeply he felt.

Si Yiyan hugged her tightly as if he wanted to melt her into his own body. As if only by doing so could he make his incomplete soul whole again.

“Si Yiyan, as long as you are safe and sound.”

All the longing, agony and worries he caused her were no longer important or worthy fussing over. She would not even ask where he had gone or what he did during the time he went missing.

Si Yiyan’s heart trembled. “Iraq’s situation is within my control now. Xu Zhenyu’s mission is completed and he can return after a period of time…”

Si Yiyan started telling her all that happened in the Middle East.

Wen Xinya interrupted him. “Si Yiyan, I treasure my friendship with Xu Zhenyu, but he has never been an obstacle in our relationship. My heart has belonged to you right from the beginning, and it forever will.”

She stared at him in all seriousness. Her gaze was one of utmost resolution.

It appeared that Si Yiyan was very disturbed by the affinity between her and Xu Zhenyu. She thought Si Yiyan understood her platonic feelings toward Xu Zhenyu, and so never bothered to explain herself.

She was obviously wrong.

“Mmm, I know!”

He had tried his best to help Xu Zhenyu for three reasons.

First, he wanted Xu Zhenyu to owe him one. With Xu Zhenyu’s proud character, there was no way that he would ever come between them.

Second, since he accepted this mission because of Wen Xinya, he would not allow himself to fail in front of her.

Third, it was also to repay Xu Zhenyu for his protection of Wen Xinya in her previous life. Wen Xinya belonged to him and he would take on all her debts and grudges, whether it was from the previous life or this current one!

Obviously, she had misunderstood.

Mmm, this was a wonderful misunderstanding. Let her continue believing this misconception!
