Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan looked at each other before shaking their heads in unison. The look of tenderness in Zhong Rufeng’s dewy eyes was so obvious and yet, Wen Xinya had still yet to discover it. They suddenly took pity on Zhong Rufeng.

The two of them whispered to each other. “You called me slow-witted but look, this is the real dimwit. She’s such a blockhead!”

Xu Tongxuan snorted with laughter and thought to herself, They’re clearly the same and yet Tianyu still thinks that she’s better than Xinya. She really lacks self-awareness!

Needless to say, Wen Xinya had absolutely no idea that her friends were gossiping about her. She was busy discussing the current political situation with Zhong Rufeng. She could not help but feel impressed by how knowledgeable he was. It was little wonder that he could attain the peak of success within a short period of time in her previous lifetime. Unfortunately, she failed to witness his glory.

Just as they were speaking, Wen Xinya’s phone began to ring. It was a call from Si Yiyan.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I’m sorry, let me take this call.”

Zhong Rufeng nodded smilingly.

Wen Xinya exited the dining room with her mobile phone and leaned against the door to answer the call.

“Where are you?” Si Yiyan asked in a charming and raspy voice which made his words seem electrifying.

Wen Xinya felt her ears turn hot and she said, “Ninth-Heaven. I’m here for a meal with Zhou Tianyu and the rest.”

She had intentionally refrained from bringing up Zhong Rufeng because she knew how easily Si Yiyan became jealous. She also remembered that he used to get jealous of Zhong Rufeng.

Si Yiyan expressed assent, sounding relaxed and laid back, though still alluring. She had only heard such a tone when they got intimate with each other.

Her heart skipped a beat and she asked softly, “What about you? What are you doing now?”

Si Yiyan chuckled and answered, “Hmm, I just took a cold shower!”

Wen Xinya blushed and her heart began to pound after hearing his words. She instinctively got some suggestive thoughts and said deliberately, “It’s good to take a cold shower! Cold showers help with boosting one’s health and improving blood circulation. It also helps to build your willpower.”

Si Yiyan chuckled again and said delightfully, “Hmm, you’re not around, so I had to take a cold shower.”

Wen Xinya turned red and hot, suddenly unable to speak. “Cold showers may be great, but don’t take them often. They’re bad for your body temperature and will cause detoxification issues. You have old ailments. You should avoid taking too many cold showers.”

Si Yiyan said suggestively, “You’re so concerned about my health. Why don’t you show some concern for my biological needs too? It’s harmful to men to be sexually deprived for too long.”

Wen Xinya answered coldly, “Don’t you have hands? Don’t you know how to satisfy your own needs?”

Si Yiyan said solemnly, “Excessive masturbation will lead to sexual impotence!”

Wen Xinya snapped out of her trance and realized that she had been acting ridiculously. She actually talked about such racy topics with Si Yiyan over the phone. “I can’t be bothered to talk to you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly ended the call, wishing she could dig a hole and jump right into it. Where’s my chastity? Where is my chastity? Has it been devoured by a dog? No… it must have been devoured by Si Yiyan. Ugh… I’ve been led astray by Si Yiyan!

Just as Wen Xinya was feeling embarrassed and desperately trying to find an excuse for herself, a voice said, “Xinya, turns out it really is you. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Why are you here?”

He was out for a socializing event with the manager of the Xiao Corporation’s marketing department and did not expect to have run into Wen Xinya at Ninth-Heaven. It was truly a surprise.

Wen Xinya felt like someone had just splashed some cold water on her head. She turned around slowly to see that Chu Jingnan was standing not too far away from her. She felt that she must have been really unlucky to have run into Chu Jingnan.

Appearing rather surprised, Chu Jingnan strode towards her and exclaimed, “Xinya, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to see you here.”

He had only found out about Wen Xinya’s abduction after seeing the media reports. He had even visited her at the hospital, though he was denied entry. He had merely heard that she had gotten a great shock and sustained a severe injury in her head. It seems that she had recovered well.

Wen Xinya felt nothing except frustration and annoyance. She thought to herself, He actually stole Zhong Rufeng’s line. Can’t he have a stronger sense of originality? She answered, “Yeah! It’s you, Senior Chu. I’m here for a meal with my friends. Gotta go.”

Wen Xinya turned around and returned to the room.

“Wait a minute!” Chu Jingnan subconsciously grabbed Wen Xinya’s hand.

Wen Xinya instinctively turned around and pinched Chu Jingnan’s wrist tightly before throwing him over her shoulder and onto the ground. His bones even cracked loudly.

Chu Jingnam was slammed onto the ground forcefully. Fortunately, the floor was covered with a thick carpet and hence, his injury was not too severe. However, his wrist was dislocated and the excruciating pain made him grimace in agony.

Wen Xinya was momentarily stunned. She recovered from the shock and stared at Chu Jingnan. “Senior Chu, I’m really sorry. I didn’t do this on purpose. Ever since I got kidnapped, I’ve been finding it uncomfortable whenever a stranger touches me. Hence, I did that out of reflex. Are you alright?”

She was extremely sick of Chu Jingnan getting all touchy with her whenever they met. Hence, she decided to teach Chu Jingnan a lesson today.

Although she was verbally apologizing, Chu Jingnan felt rather ashamed and did not have an out. Chu Jingnan watched as she stared at him apologetically from above. However, she did not seem sincere at all, and instead looked a little stern.

“I’m alright!” He frowned and struggled to get up from the ground while trying to bear with the pain in his wrist. He deliberately patted his clothes gracefully with finesse. However, no one knew that anger was simmering within him.

Wen Xinya said with a nod, “Good that you’re alright. I’m going back to my room now.”

She chose to ignore the fact that she had hurt Chu Jingnan’s wrist.

Chu Jingnan frowned and watched Wen Xinya enter the room, after which the door was closed. He grimaced and turned pale, looking extremely terrifying.

“Wen Xinya, I’ll make sure to subdue you one day. I’ll have you wrapped around my finger,” Chu Jingnan said coldly. He had already lost all of his patience towards Wen Xinya after three years. All he wanted to do now was to conquer her.
