Chapter 55：Danger awaiting (2/2)
She looked at Siying and Chyou. ”Oye kids. Close your ears.”
Siying and Chyou furrowed their brows. ”Why?”
She glared at them. ”Are you closing your ears or should I beat you two?”
Xinyi's brow twitched.
They jolted and instantly put their hands on their ears.
Shuang smiled satisfied and looked at Zhiyuan, ”And to seduce you.”
He widened his eyes. ”What?”
”Well, my Mom and her obsession in making me the Han family's daughter-in-law. What can I say? So, if you will act angry at me, then she will believe that I actually plotted against you, or else she would bore the hell out of me with her lecture.”
Zhiyuan was speechless. ”Mrs. An Meiying wanted you to seduce me?”
She shrugged. ”And overthrow Xinyi to be your wife. But like you saw, I was pretty much sleeping throughout the whole trip. So, please help me out, okay?”
Zhiyuan looked at Xinyi to know exactly what kind of reaction he should give, and she could only helplessly nod.
He always had his doubts about An Meiying and her intentions because Caihong never liked her quite much. But to actually know this from her own daughter's mouth…
His eyes slightly narrowed.
If she was against us, did she have anything to do with why Caihong left?
Xiaosi silently observed him with an unreadable gaze. He understood what Zhiyuan might be thinking.
He glanced at Caihong. ”Let's go, honey. It was a long trip and you must be tired, right?”
She felt disgusted at his fake behavior.
Xiaosi chuckled at Zhiyuan. ”We part ways here, but we will soon meet again for the project. I hope we have a good time ahead.”
Zhiyuan didn't respond.
Chyou waved her hand. ”Bye, bye Aunty!”
Xinyi smiled and waved back.
Zhiyuan said, ”Let's go.”

As their car stopped, Siying hopped out and dashed towards the villa.
”Careful, Siying!” Xinyi said.
Zhiyuan smiled. ”Let him be. He must be wanting to call Leina to share about the trip.”
She sighed.
They slowly walked while Zhiyuan frequently glanced at Xinyi. He gently held her wrist and stopped her.
Xinyi looked back at him. ”Zhiyuan?”
His black irises deeply bored into her and he said, ”Xinyi. It's okay if you are selfish at times.”
She blinked her eyes. ”I don't understand…”
”I mean to say...it's good that you think of others, but don't forget to think about yourself too.”
Xinyi still didn't get his words.
Zhiyuan smiled.
Even if it was not saying anything against his wish to look for Caihong, or when she rushed to help him when she was so sick herself, or may it be Siying's request to go and visit Caihong; Xinyi always quietly accepted them.
She always put other's happiness before hers, and that's why Zhiyuan said that.
He said, ”Let's go.”
As soon as they reached Han villa, they were greeted by the sight of an extremely calm Han Huizhong waiting for them.
