Wen Xinya received news about Wen Haowen holding a press conference in the Wen Corporation office tower. It was scheduled to be held between ten to eleven o’clock in the morning.

Wen Xinya was looking through the netizens’ comments about Wen Haowen.

Ever since the news of Wen Haowen’s press conference was released, the netizens had begun changing their attitudes towards Wen Haowen, and most of them began to think that Wen Haowen was forgivable. They felt that he was being a responsible man by facing the public and owning up to their mistakes. After all, what mattered most was that one learned from his mistakes.

There were also some who expressed their support for Wen Haowen and castigated Yang Ziyu.

However, there were also some who refused to believe Wen Haowen and felt that he had still committed adultery even though he had been set up. Back then, he had committed adultery and caused the death of his first wife. Now, he again caused his current wife’s medical condition to worsen because of his extramarital affair. They felt that he was just a complete scumbag!

However, things were developing well in general.

Noticing that she seemed to be out of sorts and that her lips were pressed together tightly, Si Yiyan asked, “What’s wrong? You look so upset. Do you feel uncomfortable?”

He had already placed both his hands on her head.

Wen Xinya said indignantly, “Look at these comments on the internet. Wen Haowen may have been set up, but he and Yang Ziyu are both at fault. Yet, he has now become a responsible man who has learned from his mistakes while Yang Ziyu is just a slut and a shameless hussy!”

Si Yiyan took a glance at her phone calmly while massaging her head. “Don’t bother getting angry at these netizens.”

Society was currently working towards gender equality, though there had never been a balance between the sexes. He could understand how angry she felt as a woman. However, he felt that she was being a little contradicting by getting upset about the matter since Wen Haowen was in an advantageous position.

Wen Xinya sneered. “On what basis do you men have to be forgiven for your mistakes just because you’ve said sorry? Why do us women have to be berated to no end, just because we made some mistakes? If men are promiscuous, they’re known as being flirtatious. If women are promiscuous, we are labeled as shameless sluts! How do you call that equality? Bullshit!”

She utterly detested Wen Haowen and she felt even more furious at the thought of what happened to her in her previous lifetime.

Her sweeping statement had gotten Si Yiyan involved. However, he had no choice but to stay silent because he knew that she was just throwing a tantrum. However, he did not know how he should comfort her.

Wen Xinya was just a little annoyed and not actually furious. She said, “Not only do women have to bear the responsibility of continuing the human race, we even have to hold families together. In today’s society… women can also be breadwinners, just like men. We can work hard and carve a career of our own. We also have to take on the responsibility of shaping society. To make matters worse, we even have to bear with the pain of monthly menstrual cycles.”

As a man, he was at a loss for a response to her words. After all… women had indeed been having a tougher time than men ever since history.

Wen Xinya rattled on. “I just find that society is too harsh to women even though we contribute to society more than men do. Can you people give birth? Can you men hold a family together?”

Si Yiyan felt that it was a matter of perspective and a question that did not have a clear answer. However, he wanted to comfort her and thus answered, “Yes, women do contribute to society more than men do. Otherwise, why would China be seen as the motherland? Clearly, women have it harder and are respected.”

“Exactly!” Wen Xinya exclaimed. Though she sensed something amiss with his words.

She was stuck in a dilemma because society was too harsh to women. It was not a matter of how much women had contributed to society and how much respect they received in return. She had just been spoiled rotten by Si Yiyan.

Si Yiyan hugged her and kissed her gently. “I know women have it harder. When we get married and have children in the future, I’ll look after the kids. You shall cook while I do the dishes. I’ll cook you ginger and brown sugar soup whenever you feel uncomfortable during your menstrual period. I’ll do all the household chores that you’re unwilling to do…”

Wen Xinya was extremely glad to hear his words. “I shall hold you to your word. I’ve recorded what you just said. If you dare to go back on your word, watch how I’ll deal with you.”

She then grabbed her mobile phone smugly and gritted her teeth.

Upon sight of her menacing expression, Cleopatra barked at Si Yiyan and flaunted its teeth, seemingly mimicking Wen Xinya.

Si Yiyan’s face turned sullen and thought to himself, This lecherous dog is starting to rebel against me.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter and stroked Cleopatra’s head. “Si Yiyan… look, even Cleopatra is on my side.”

Cleopatra could sense the joy within his mistress and continuously wagged its tail to please her.

Si Yiyan pinched Cleopatra’s ear and said threateningly, “Did you forget what I told you?”

You told me not to get too close to Mistress, of course I remember. But, she was the one who got closer to me first. I didn’t initiate the contact. Cleopatra then flaunted its teeth again.

Wen Xinya could not stop laughing. “Si Yiyan, you’re an intelligent human. Do you really think it’s appropriate to bully a dog?”

Must he always get jealous of a dog!?!

Si Yiyan was tyrannical, petty, vicious and jealous. He would often discipline Cleopatra and lecture it for getting too close to Wen Xinya. He would also threaten to send Cleopatra back to Italy. Cleopatra was traumatized by Italy and hence, would concede at the mention of it.

Si Yiyan said composedly, “If dogs aren’t disciplined properly, they’ll get out of hand! I’m teaching him to be a good pet.”

Such high-sounding words! Wen Xinya snorted with laughter and rubbed her forehead while guffawing. “Ah, I can’t take this anymore. My head is swelling up and it hurts from laughing.”

Si Yiyan hurriedly massaged her head and said, “Your wounds have just healed, you shouldn’t get too agitated. Be more mindful next time.”

Wen Xinya stuck her tongue out and thought to herself, The doctor has already said that I’ve fully recovered. Si Yiyan is the only person who’s making such a big deal out of it. He’s been massaging my head and feeding me with herbal tonics every day. I’m not that fragile.
