Chapter 1746 - A Special Signing Ceremony (2/2)

Si Yiyan looked down at her, the smile in his eyes deepening. “I heard that it was specially arranged?”

They had been in love for ten years—he could tell her thoughts right away.

This woman had made clear to him, more than once, her unreserved loyalty and belief. It was normal for married couples to each have their own careers—that was the case for the majority of the families in the world.

It was his insatiable greed that made him want to completely dominate everything about her, secure her in his grasp, under his total control, and make it impossible for her to ever escape in this lifetime.

He acted appropriately towards everything, knowing his limits as well as when to advance or retreat, except towards her—he was never satisfied.

In the face of her man’s teasing smile, Wen Xinya somehow felt a little embarrassed. “I’ve arranged for the signing ceremony to be done together with the listing of Lanxin Company in order to create hype for the listing of Lanxin Company. After all, Lanxin Company has suffered huge losses after going through the acquisition war—to hold the signing ceremony together with the celebratory banquet also serves to reduce our expenditure. Also…”

Wen Xinya was speaking confidently, but under his meaningful glance, her voice gradually became unnaturally low as she felt increasingly guilty, and finally, she didn’t even dare to look up.

She couldn’t help but secretly curse herself for being incapable.

Si Yiyan sneered. “Why aren’t you continuing?”

Regardless of when this signing ceremony was held, it would create hype for Lanxin Company. To create news and hype using the signing ceremony was what a qualified businessman ought to have done instead—the listing of Lanxin Company was just not the best time to hold the signing ceremony.

The so-called reduction in expenditure was even more baseless.

After the acquisition war ended, Lanxin Company had received a huge sum of compensation from T-K Corporation. After recuperating for five months, they had basically recovered fully before deciding to get listed.

Wen Xinya pouted and changed the topic. “Are you angry at me for conspiring with Gu Yuexi and the rest to keep things from you?”

Previously, at the banquet, when she stood on the stage, Si Yiyan’s harsh gaze filled with hidden turmoil, sharpness, and danger seemed to follow her everywhere she went, making her not know how to react.

Throughout the entire banquet, she felt guilty, as if she had done something wrong towards him, and almost didn’t dare to look straight at him.

Seeing the tinge of helplessness and panic flash past her eyes, the smile in Si Yiyan’s eyes deepened. “Yup. Not angry at you!”

The woman that he loved had carefully arranged this special confession for him, opening up her soul and presenting her heart right before him—why would he be angry?

Wen Xinya was overjoyed. She felt that there was something off about his statement but didn’t know what it was exactly.

Si Yiyan caressed her face gently and said plainly, “However, Gu Yuexi and the rest have to be severely punished!”

Since they dared to collaborate and deceive him, they should have been mentally prepared to accept punishment.

“What did you do to them?” Wen Xinya finally knew what was off—he only said, “Not angry at you,” but didn’t say that he wasn’t angry at Gu Yuexi and the rest.

Thus, Si Yiyan would punish them.

She secretly lit 32 candles in her heart for Gu Yuexi and the rest as a sign of mourning for their misfortune.

However, she didn’t realize that she was the culprit at all.

Si Yiyan gently lifted her cheek. “You’re speaking too much.”

Saying that he looked down, locked her lips, and kissed her passionately. Under the hazy streetlights, their hugging silhouettes lengthened, overlapped, and intertwined with each other.
