Xu Zhenyu seemed to be in high spirits, and he shared with Wen Xinya about some interesting things that happened to him while he was in the military, as well as some of his near-death experiences while carrying out missions.
It was the first time that Wen Xinya had ever heard from him about his life in the military and everything that happened sounded incredibly thrilling and exciting to her!
The military camp was not a man’s ideal place to be in, though it was the place for one to spend their youth and vigor on.
She was beginning to look forward to her life in university, during which she had to undergo military training. In her previous lifetime, she was afraid of suffering and getting tanned during military training and hence, came up with a string of excuses to convince Old Mr. Wen to let her be excused from it.
Time passed exceptionally quickly while they chatted.
Xu Zhenyu watched as Wen Xinya stared at him with glistening eyes as if she was in complete awe of him. He suddenly felt much more masculine and powerful, as if he had become her idol. He got slightly agitated and continued to rattle on incessantly. “Back then, the terrorists were extremely agitated and the military had even sent us a psychiatric expert…”
At this moment, Wen Xinya’s mobile phone began to ring and she interrupted Xu Zhenyu. “Let me go get this call.”
It was a call from Si Yiyan.
“Hurry and go. Don’t let me wait for too long! Come back soon,” said Xu Zhenyu, who did not think too much about it.
Wen Xinya left the dining room with her small bag. Just as she was about to enter the washroom, she felt a hand grabbing her waist tightly from behind. Before she could even react, she was dragged into the dining room.
She heard a loud thud and the doors of the room were closed shut. She was then pinned against the door.
Everything took place rapidly within just one or two seconds.
It was as if she was a prey that had just been caught. However, she did not seem to be able to use the self-defense techniques that Si Yiyan had taught her. Her brain seemed to have also stopped working momentarily.
“Si…”
She then felt a messy breathing approaching her with a refined scent that was classy yet commanding.
She was kissed forcefully and the kiss seemed to have robbed her of her thought and senses. She panted softly but quickly and moaned slightly while leaning against him.
“Wen Xinya, you’re mine,” said the murky yet domineering voice. It seemed he was declaring her to be his property while kissing her passionately.
Wen Xinya did not hear his words clearly, though she felt completely out of her element. First, she felt as if the air in her chest had been taken away from her. She was certain that she would be the first person to die from suffocation because of a kiss.
She tried to move away from his lips, only to have him follow her movement. She exclaimed helplessly, “Si… Yiyan! I… can’t breathe…”
Si Yiyan let go of her abruptly and took a step back before placing a hand behind her head, seemingly trying to control her body. His eyes were like dark pools of ink and he was just like a menacing predator, shielding the prey that belonged to him.
Wen Xinya took deep breaths while her mind was sent into a frenzy. His heavy breathing seemed to be knocking on her chest.
She took a deep breath and clutched her chest, trying to calm her palpitating heart. “You.. you came and dragged me into your room without any warning. I thought that I was about to be kidnapped again.”
The moment he pressed a hand on her waist, she instantly got goosebumps on her skin and broke out in cold sweat. All she could think about were the scenes of her getting abducted. However, the warmth of his skin penetrated through the fabric and she suddenly lost all the power to retaliate. She had already gotten familiar with his body temperature and her body had surrendered to him before her brain did.
Si Yiyan’s pupils constricted. At the thought of her abduction, he lowered his head and kissed her lips before saying in a raspy voice, “I’m sorry for acting rashly and scaring you.”
Wen Xinya shook her head and wrapped her arms around Si Yiyan’s waist. She pressed her ears against his chest to hear his heartbeat. His heart was beating much more vigorously than hers.
Si Yiyan asked softly, “What brings you here?”
His voice was husky and low, no longer as clear and crisp as usual. Instead, he sounded a little depressed, moody, tensed up and uneasy.
Unfortunately, Wen Xinya did not discover the difference. She tried her best to calm her emotions and said, “I’m here for a meal with Xu Zhenyu.”
Si Yiyan suddenly lowered his arm and pressed his tense body against the door. “Okay! Are you done with the meal yet?”
Wen Xinya hugged Si Yiyan and leaned on his chest. Sensing his uneasiness, she answered, “Yes! Why are you here then?”
Wen Xinya was rather stunned to have run into Si Yiyan at the restaurant. She suddenly felt a little ashamed, as if she had been caught having a rendezvous with her clandestine lover.
Touchwood! What clandestine lover? Xu Zhenyu and I are innocent and we met openly.
Is he jealous?
She stealthily looked at Si Yiyan from the corner of her eye.
He looked suave, handsome and incredibly dashing, so much that one glance was enough for her to turn red and her heart to pound rapidly. She was ill at ease.
She cursed in her head, Troublemaker!
Si Yiyan panted and answered, “I’m meeting a client for a discussion here.”
Xu Zhenyu was awarded a five-day break for cracking the case involving the terrorists. It was much easier for Xu Zhenyu to spend time openly with Wen Xinya compared to Si Yiyan. Hence, in order to stop Xu Zhenyu from facing her all the time, Si Yiyan decided to create some trouble involving the secret societies, so as to make the military authorities agree to let Xu Zhenyu take part in the mission. Si Yiyan had also paid a huge price for that.
As soon as Xu Zhenyu returned from his mission, he received the news of Xu Zhenyu’s return. He knew exactly that Xu Zhenyu would definitely ask to meet Wen Xinya first thing after he returned.
Indeed, he was right. He ran into Wen Xinya after following Xu Zhenyu to the restaurant.
He mocked himself for being excessively paranoid and for being overly possessive of her. However, he believed that she was in love with him. It was not that he did not trust her, but rather, he did not wish to give anyone the chance to intervene by taking advantage of the situation.
