Chapter 41 - You Are Behaving like a Furious Cute Little Wildcat
Wen Xinya bid Du Ruo farewell at 4:30 pm. Du Ruo felt weird about her leaving 30 minutes earlier. Usually, Wen Xinya would stay till 5 o’clock in the afternoon.
Du Ruo casually asked if everything was alright, but did not ask further when Wen Xinya replied and assured her that there wasn’t any problem.
The real reason for Wen Xinya leaving the Du Mansion earlier was because of Si Yiyan. He told her that morning he would come to fetch her. In her previous life, she was deeply hurt by that man. But in this life, she did not wish to be embroiled in sexual relations with him. However, she could not bring herself to reject Si Yiyan and knew that he was someone who would not take “no” for an answer. Therefore, avoiding him was the only thing she could do for now.
Wen Xinya left the Du Mansion and walked along the little stone path leading to the main road. She saw a black car—The Lucifer—stopped by the roadside. Si Yiyan was standing beside the car, leaning on the door. His vision was locked on her as if he could see through her soul.
Wen Xinya frowned. She felt uncomfortable with him staring at her. It made her feel she had nowhere to hide. “Didn’t you say you would pick me up at 5 o’clock? Why are you so early?”
Si Yiyan had guessed her intention of avoiding him. He came earlier on purpose so that he would not miss her. “I have nothing on, so I came early. I didn’t expect your class to end before 5 o’clock. I was lucky to arrive before you left.”
Wen Xinya felt a sense of guilt. “Didn’t you say you would send me back? Let’s get moving! Ruo Ruo gave me a few recipes for medicinal cuisines that are good for Grampy. I need to return earlier to prepare and cook them for him.”
