Chapter 421: Those Who Cross the Line Should Be Killed and Destroyed

Si Yiyan raised his brow and held her gaze.

Looking into his charming eyes, Wen Xinya asked, “You were worried that I’d be upset because of your excessive involvement in this matter. Most importantly, you don’t want me to be implicated too. Is that why you planned to hide it from me?”

She had long known that Si Yiyan was one to take revenge where it was due. Ning Shuqian and her accomplices had gone overboard by instigating Shen Mengting to kill Wen Xinya. Hence, punishing Shen Mengting was not enough to appease him.

He was secretly hatching a plot to deal with the mastermind at the same time that he was enjoying her care and exchanging affectionate remarks with her. Although he knew that he could not get rid of them completely, he did not intend to wait blindly for the right opportunity. Instead, he opted to take a violent approach and inflict damage on the mastermind even if he was going to alarm them. He was bent on taking revenge for her.

He had already done more for her than she could ever imagine without her knowledge.

She had a solemn look in her eyes which seemed to be filled with pools of ink. “Xinya, I promised not to interfere with your matters, but I have my boundaries too.”

Those people had already crossed the line by attempting to murder Wen Xinya.

Anyone who crossed the line ought to be killed and destroyed.

Staring at him calmly, Wen Xinya asked, “Si Yiyan, in your eyes, what kind of a person am I?”

A sullen expression formed on Si Yiyan’s face while he pondered over her question.

When such a question comes up during a couple’s tiff, it simply means that the problem is rather serious. How should I answer her in order to make her happy?

Wen Xinya stared at him hesitantly and her heart began to wrench in pain. She asked in a deep and hoarse voice, “What’s wrong? Is my question that difficult to answer? Why do you need to think about it for so long?”

It was just a simple question and yet, Si Yiyan had to think through it carefully before giving her an answer. Clearly, he was extremely meticulous when it came to her.

“I’ve never thought about that question before,” Si Yiyan answered, appearing extremely haggard.

Wen Xinya looked up at him and said softly, “Although I don’t want you to meddle too much with my affairs, I’m not one to overestimate my capabilities. Black Sunday is complicated and mysterious. They’ve tried to harm me time and time again, and they’ve even tried to kill me. Given my current abilities, there’s no way for me to defeat them at all.”

Staring at her pretty yet austere face, he felt as if she was an exquisite ice sculpture. She was glowing, yet cold and aloof.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “The God of Investors Warren Buffet is known to all as a prodigy. He visited the stock exchange tower in New York when he was just eight years old. However, only a few people know that it was the father of a member of the parliament who had brought him inside. He also was welcomed and shown around by the authoritative chairman. Bill Gates is a household name who’s a Harvard dropout. He worked hand in hand with his best friend and established Microsoft. However, his mother is the chairperson of IBM and she was the one who gave him his first business deal that sent him on his path towards success.”

Si Yiyan remained silent and continued to gaze at the girl whom he loved to bits. However, he once again realized that he had belittled her.

Keeping her eyes fixed on him, Wen Xinya said, “I understand that we have to work hard to become stronger and learn how to make use of connections and borrow the power of others to help ourselves grow. Zhuge Liang made use of the straw boat and arrow to bring himself success and create history. I believe I can do that too.”

Wen Xinya looked up with an icy cold expression on her face. She continued, “Si Yiyan, no man is an island, and I understand that one would definitely need the help of others to achieve success.”

She wanted to be independent and work towards success using her own capabilities. She wanted to be in control of her own destiny. However, she was not overconfident to the extent of thinking that she could achieve it on her own.

Si Yiyan kissed her sideburns gently. “Seems I’ve belittled you.”

The significance of comparing women to water was not only to show that women were as clear as water, but also because women ought to take shape according to the circumstances that they were in and to brave through everything that came their way. She was the perfect example of a balance between dominance and gentleness.

Wen Xinya said, “You didn’t belittle me. You’re just careful and cautious when it comes to my affairs.”

She understood too well how it felt to be insecure, panicky and anxious. She had felt the exact same way in her previous lifetime when Chu Jingnan was concerned. She was afraid that a slight blunder and misstep would infuriate him and make him abandon her.

Wen Xinya suddenly felt a little repulsed by herself. She was constantly taking and receiving all the care and affection from Si Yiyan. Yet, she was not willing to treat him genuinely and open her heart up to him. On the day that Si Yiyan put the chain on her leg and vowed to be loyal to her, she said that she would try and accept him. She realized that she was just trying to manipulate him, making her no different from the way she was towards Chu Jingnan in her previous lifetime.

Si Yiyan was at a loss for words.

Wen Xinya turned to look at him with resplendent eyes. “Si Yiyan, I understand that you’ve done a lot for me. So… you don’t have to be ill at ease. You’re a high and mighty person! You’re born to be a ruler, you shouldn’t be so panicky all the time.”

Si Yiyan held her gaze and looked into her eyes, which were bright and sparkling like jade and full of affection.

Wen Xinya kissed the corner of his lips tenderly and said, “The Si Yiyan that I know, is gracious and magnanimous, but also scheming and meticulous. You have great ambitions, I shouldn’t become your stumbling block.”

Opening up to him was not a difficult thing to do at all, and it was only a matter of her choice. Si Yiyan… had rocked her world and became the most extravagant and lavish banquet of her life.

“What should your purpose be then?” Si Yiyan asked, staring at her quietly. Her face was radiant and glowing, like a flower which had yet to blossom. She was shy and bashful, yet alluring.

Wen Xinya chuckled and traced her fingers on his chest. “I’m like a flower blooming in your heart, a flower that’s colorful and vibrant.”

Si Yiyan kissed her lips gently and brushed his lips against the creases of hers with tender affection.
