Chapter 232: I’d Rather Fail the World than Fail You

Regarding the Xia Family’s opening of the high-end mega mall, hopes of the brands under the Wen Corporation entering the mall had already gone down the drain. Wen Xinya had personally blocked the channel of Grandpa and Grandma for Xia Ruya, and Wen Haowen couldn’t decide the strategy for this matter—wonder what was Xia Ruya’s thoughts right now. The Xia Family was heavily driven by profits and benefits—once they knew that acknowledging this illegitimate daughter couldn’t bring any benefits to the Xia Family, wonder if Xia Ruya would still have a good life in the Xia Family.

Wen Xinya had on a cold smile as she browsed the upvoting post in the discussion forums which was posted with the student union member username of Jiang Ruoyin. It had already reached two thousand upvotes. Shen Mengting was right—this bunch of students in school wouldn’t rest until they drove her out of the institute.

She tapped the study table, causing the wooden study table to give off dull, yet rhythmic “dong, dong, dong, dong” sounds. Xia Ruya, Jiang Ruoyin and the rest were still too green—they did not know that the discussion forums were a double-edged sword by nature, pointing towards others this second, but hurting themselves the next.

The last period was art lesson. As Wen Xinya already had drawing foundation, she did not attend class and instead left the school immediately.

Once out of the main entrance of the school, she saw Si Yiyan’s car stopped by the roadside.

Wen Xinya hurriedly went over and boarded the car.

“Forgot your seatbelt again.” Si Yiyan leaned in helplessly and helped her buckle up her seatbelt.

Wen Xinya said indifferently, “Isn’t it good enough that you remember?”

Si Yiyan swiped a finger across her face and said, “Nowadays the traffic is chaotic—you’ve got to have a good sense of safety at all times.”

Wen Xinya pouted as she looked at him and said, “Got it, naggy!”

As Si Yiyan started the car up, he looked sideways at her and said, “Now you’re finding me naggy?”

Wen Xinya tiled her head and smiled sweetly. “Ninth Young Master Xiasi, to have you nagging at me is my great honor—how dare I mind!”

Si Yiyan couldn’t help but smile. However, as he thought of the still burning discussion forums matter, his gorgeous brows lifted slightly, his brows, long and slender like tree branches, instantly tainted with hostility. “Your school’s discussion forums are so chaotic and without the slightest order. To think that Lan Feng Institute is known as an exceptional elite school locally, with students with peerlessly outstanding characteristics—looks to me like it doesn’t deserve its good name!”

Si Yiyan was very unhappy. Wen Xinya was the girl that he adored, carefully taken care of and extremely pampered by him—how could he tolerate others humiliating, attacking, and plotting against her like this. Even though he knew that Wen Xinya had confident plans about this matter, he still felt very unhappy, so much so that he now looked at the entire Lan Feng Institute through biased, tinted glasses.

Wen Xinya stared at him, dissatisfied. “Hey, don’t you forget that I’m also a Lan Feng Institute student. Is it appropriate of you to put down my school like this in front of me?”

Si Yiyan looked at her with a serious look, that pair of glossy, glass-like eyes seeming to have absorbed the entire world’s light and warmth, so clear and burning. “You don’t have to take the public opinions and criticisms on the discussion forums to heart—even if everyone in the world abandons you, I’ll definitely stand by you, rather failing the world than to fail you.”

He knew that she was an intelligent and open-minded girl and that this level of public opinions and criticism wouldn’t amount to any effect on her. Moreover, it was under the circumstances of her confident plans. However… concern is disorderly—putting away her intelligence and open-mindedness, in his eyes, she was but a girl for him to carefully take care of and pamper extremely.

“Psst!” Wen Xinya laughed uncontrollably. “Ninth Young Master Xiasi, it’s not like you to be so sentimental.”

Si Yiyan looked at her with smiling eyes. “What am I like then?”

“Hmm…” Wen Xinya couldn’t help but think hard.

What was he like then?

Si Yiyan was conversant with both ancient and modern learning—really a profound person. Even simple words, coming out of his mouth, became brilliant, exquisite, influential, and gorgeous. No wonder everyone said that words of love were the work of a learned person—this phrase was indeed apt.

Si Yiyan smiled and waited, wanting to know what kind of person he was in her heart.

Wen Xinya’s eyes brightened, suddenly started laughing as she acted like Si Yiyan, speaking in a male voice, “The King of Chu, Xiang Yu, lost Wu River. Liu Bang, wanting his head, was hot on his heels. If he were to cross the river in hopes of future accomplishments, he could have had a chance. However, he chose to cut his own throat in suicide at Wu River, because… Consort Yu was already dead.” Saying which, Wen Xinya couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Hahahaha…”

Si Yiyan’s glass-like eyes were glowing as his lips emitted a gorgeous smile.

“Hmm hmm!” Wen Xinya cleared her throat and continued, “Wen Xinya, I’m willing to imitate the King of Chu, rather failing the world than to fail you, never forsaking you in life and in death.” Saying which, she burst out laughing uncontrollably again. “How’s it, how’s my imitation—isn’t this your style?”

Si Yiyan also started chuckling. “Indeed rather like my style.”

Wen Xinya squinted her eyes in pride.

However, Si Yiyan changed the topic and said, “But I wouldn’t commit suicide to the king if it were me… I definitely wouldn’t let Consort Yu cut her throat in front of me—I want the territories and also the beauty. I’m willing to demolish all the obstacles in the world for my love, using the vast territories as a betrothal in the future, inviting the love of my life to share the land—wouldn’t it be great.”

Wen Xinya pouted and said, “One can’t have everything in life.”

Si Yiyan said plainly, “One can have whatever he can think of.”

Wen Xinya was speechless. In this world, people who had all of fame, wealth, and power were everywhere. Yet, the famous saying of “one can’t have everything in life” was in a special realm.

Si Yiyan smiled and said in a deep voice, “However, I really ought to learn from the King of Chu, rather failing the world than to fail you, never forsaking you in life and in death.”

Wen Xinya’s smile widened. “Really? Even if I abuse drugs, get into fights and arguments, and become alcoholic, you won’t forsake me?”

Si Yiyan said, “If you abuse drugs, I’ll help you quit drugs. If you get into fights, I’ll protect you. If you get into arguments, I’ll help you settle your troubles. If you become alcoholic… I’ll make sure you can’t lay your hands on a single drop of alcohol.”

Wen Xinya suddenly recalled that in her previous lifetime, Xu Zhenyu had also once helped her to quit drugs. However, she had been too deeply addicted and totally couldn’t quit. Eventually, Xu Zhenyu let her be. “What if I really abuse drugs and can’t quit?”

Si Yiyan said while driving, “You won’t be unable to quit—quitting now is different from the past. You’ve got to see how deep is the addiction and depend on massive determination. There are extremely professional drug rehabilitation organizations in the world using the most advanced equipment. Coupled with medication, it’s definitely possible to quit.”

Wen Xinya suddenly laughed. “Nonsense. If I’m really so down and out, you definitely won’t even look at me a second time.”

Si Yiyan said, “Then it’s definitely because I didn’t realize how good you are.”

Wen Xinya asked again, “What do you think would have happened to you if we didn’t meet in this lifetime?”

“I’d end up all alone and die by myself!”

“Just trying to make me happy!”

“I always believed that when God created humans, he really put the same soul in a man and a woman respectively. Only when a soul is complete can a couple really love, protect, know, and accompany each other till they’re old.”
