Chapter 1055 - The Wise Will Be Hurt (1/2)

Wen Xinya did not have anything scheduled for the afternoon. Hence, she headed to Old Mr. Du’s place and found out more about insomnia from him. Old Mr. Du told her that people who were prideful and intelligent were prone to insomnia. Hence, it was true that the wise often get hurt.

The only way insomnia could be cured was for the patient to overcome it himself.

After finding out the details from Old Mr. Du, Wen Xinya could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, she managed to obtain some aromatherapy incense from Du Ruo, as well as some medical recipes for soups that would nourish the kidney and spleen. She then drove straight to Lishan Mansion.

Si Yiyan was working in the study. Wen Xinya knew that he still had to get involved even though he had already handed the matters in Russia to Gu Yuehan to handle. Hence, she did not disturb him.

Wen Xinya contacted Mrs. Tan to find out about Si Yiyan’s sleep quality for the past two days.

Mrs. Tan answered, “The night before yesterday, he slept for about two hours, but last night, he slept for less than an hour. He’s been taking the mulberry honey regularly and he will occasionally catch some shuteye too. His appetite has become poorer and he’s eating less than usual. He seems to be very busy for the past few days because he’s been working in the study.”

Wen Xinya felt absolutely terrible. When suffering from insomnia, most people would feel extremely fatigued and lethargic. They would also be frustrated, angst and anxious. Not to mention, Si Yiyan still had to work for such a long time.

However, it was fortunate that Si Yiyan’s condition was much better compared to the previous time.

According to Xu Xianghu, Si Yiyan stayed awake for more than 24 hours when his symptoms first started showing.

Wen Xinya boiled some oyster soup with gingko and wolfberry for four hours. Oysters were beneficial for nourishing the lungs, kidney, and spleen while gingko was good for calming the soul and nourishing blood. Wolfberries were good for nourishing the liver and kidney. Hence, the recipe was excellent for curing insomnia.

However, the recipe called for a specific temperature and flame.

Wen Xinya watched the fire because she was afraid that there would be a disparity.

The soup was only ready at six in the evening.

Si Yiyan had never once come out of the study.

Wen Xinya walked towards the study with the pot of soup. The door was left ajar and she gently pushed it to enter, only to be greeted with the sight of Si Yiyan rubbing his temples while taking a whiff of the aromatherapy incense.

Wen Xinya knew that insomnia had already affected his senses. Whenever she was near the study, he would sense her presence. Yet…

Wen Xinya pushed the door open.

Si Yiyan finally snapped out of his trance and put his cigarette away. He asked smilingly, “When did you arrive?”

Wen Xinya walked towards Si Yiyan and placed the soup on the desk before proceeding to give him a head massage. “I was here since three in the afternoon, but I didn’t disturb you because you were busy.”

After taking a glance at the soup, Si Yiyan closed his eyes and relaxed his muscles. “Don’t do this again next time.”

Wen Xinya expressed assent.

Si Yiyan had never neglected her because of work before. Regardless of how busy he was, he would put his work aside to spend time with her before pulling an all-nighter to catch up on work.

Wen Xinya continued, “I heard from Mrs. Tan that you’ve been staying in the study to work for the past few days. Did something go wrong in Russia?”

Wen Xinya knew that his work had something to do with his insomnia.
