Wen Xinya suddenly burst out laughing. Her eyes were curled up and twinkling with the refreshing innocence characteristic of a young girl—so inexplicably sweet and pure.
Wen Xinya buried herself in Si Yiyan’s chest, extended her slender, swan-like neck upwards, her dazzling eyes twinkling brightly, and her tiny face filled with admiration for this man as if he was her religion that she believed in fully.
Wen Xinya took to the initiative to stretch her arm out, curled it around Si Yiyan’s neck, and pecked on his cheek. “Indeed, you’re really good at cheering people up.”
Saying which, she couldn’t help but laugh again.
Si Yiyan hugged her slim waist and curled his lips up. “I’ve said it before—I prefer a kiss to a peck.”
Saying which, he pressed his lips on the seductive red lips just inches away from his.
This kiss was exceptionally deep and long.
They shared their breaths as their tongues twirled around each other. Even the air was tainted with romance.
After a single kiss, Wen Xinya stuck her tiny face on Si Yiyan’s chest and panted quietly. She could hear his thundering heartbeats which seemingly struck her heart and touched her soul.
This was the taste of love!
“Xinya, do you intend to stay in school or travel to school every day?” Si Yiyan’s alluring voice made one feel delighted for no reason, like a melody from a violin.
Wen Xinya suddenly felt slightly lost. “Hmm?”
Si Yiyan said, “The Capital University is slightly far from the Wen Family’s old mansion and requires more than an hour of driving in smooth traffic. As you know, the Capital city’s traffic has always been quite bad with frequent jams. If you’re thinking of traveling to school every day, it’s actually quite impractical.”
Wen Xinya instinctively said, “I can stay in Grampy’s house. The Mo Family is nearer to the Capital University and only requires half an hour of driving. Moreover, it’s near to the suburbs with fewer cars and rather smooth traffic.”
She had originally not thought about this carefully. Now that she had said it, she really felt that it would be great to stay in Grampy’s house. On one hand, Grampy was getting old and she wanted to spend more time with him, and on the other hand, unlike high school, there would be more pressure in university and she could learn more from Grampy.
Si Yiyan’s low voice was filled with helplessness and disappointment. “Haven’t you thought about moving out alone?”
This little girl was so muddle-headed that it was lovable and hateful at the same time.
A spark went off, Wen Xinya reacted, looked at Si Yiyan with a half-smile, and said with emphasis, “Move. Out. Alone?”
She was going off to university, which meant that she was already a full-grown adult with her own world and private life. The elders wouldn’t interfere so much in her life compared to previously and she could freely choose the lifestyle that she needed—on the pretext that she didn’t go astray, of course.
Her relationship with Si Yiyan was merely lacking in the red booklet. As a man who had tasted meat and with insatiable and tireless hunger, it was natural that he wanted to cohabit with her.
Thus, when Si Yiyan suggested for her to “move out alone”, it obviously meant to cohabit with him!
In the face of Wen Xinya’s teasing gaze, Si Yiyan thickened his skin to the point of shamelessness as he continued saying calmly, “Yup! Not really alone—with me, that makes the two of us. You can think of it as a married couple’s life, a lover’s world, or cohabitation.”
Since it was obvious, he might as well say it clearly so that she couldn’t find any loopholes in his statement and just brush him off.
Hey! It hadn’t been easy on him. When Xinya was underage, he looked forward to her growing up every day. When she grew up, he looked forward to her summer and winter holidays every day. After the holidays, he looked forward to her going to university and become independent. In the future, he would still look forward to her graduating from university and become truly independent, to her business to succeed, and then to walk down the aisle with her.
Si Yiyan was deeply troubled by his future. Thus, he had to do his best to fight for the best benefits for himself.
Wen Xinya frowned slightly, looked at him sheepishly, and said, “But the Lishan mansion is also very far from the Capital University and requires an hour’s drive in smooth traffic as well. I’ll have four years in the university, which means a total of 1460 days! To travel to and fro every day, twice a day, 1460 days means 2920 journeys. Oh, dear… the thought of it is scary enough.”
Wen Xinya looked at Si Yiyan sadly with a pitiful expression. She hated trouble.
Her expression was soft and tender which amused Si Yiyan. “I bought a condominium near the Capital University which is only a fifteen minute’s walk away. The condominium has already been furnished according to your preferences.”
Previously, when he heard that she wanted to enroll in the Capital University, he had already bought a condominium nearby and had renovated it way ahead of time. It had already been vacant for about a year.
Wen Xinya widened her eyes. It seemed like… as if… she totally didn’t have a reason to reject. “However, it doesn’t seem too good for us to openly cohabit like this! Grampy will be angry if he knows about it. Also… my Grandpa still doesn’t know about us. I’m afraid it’ll cause unnecessary trouble.”
Although Si Yiyan had already come out to the open, their relationship had yet to be openly publicized. After all, she had just become of age not long ago and exposing a relationship now wouldn’t be a fairytale love story but a scandal. In the eyes of most people, a relationship at eighteen-years-old was totally too early.
Si Yiyan said, “I bought two units of the condominium as a cover. On the surface, we’re just neighbors. But actually, our units have already been knocked through. So it doesn’t count as openly cohabiting.”
Since he had planned to do it, he naturally had to consider all areas to exterminate her excuses to reject him. More importantly, he didn’t want an oversight on his part to hurt Xinya—he wasn’t that selfish.
Of course, buying two adjacent condominium units was also to make it more comfortable for her. Although the facilities in the condominium couldn’t be compared to that of Lishan mansion, it wasn’t too far off—especially her cloakroom which spanned an entire condominium unit.
“But…” Wen Xinya bit on her nails, her face filled with confusion and struggle as she felt uneasy about this but couldn’t think of a reason to reject him.
Si Yiyan hurriedly asked, “But what?”
Although he had taken everything into consideration, he could have inevitably left something out. He was willing to take care of all of her feelings, so when he heard that she still had something to say, Si Yiyan took it seriously and even felt nervous about it.
