Wen Xinya cleared her throat and tapped to answer the call. Xu Zhenyu then exclaimed over the phone in displeasure, “Wen Xinya, what are you doing!?! You just went out to answer a call but I’ve already waited for you for twenty minutes. You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You are intentionally trying to take revenge on me…”

Wen Xinya instinctively moved her mobile phone away from her ear.

Si Yiyan nibbled on her earlobe gently.

Wen Xinya moaned subconsciously and glared at Si Yiyan.

Having heard the sounds, Xu Zhenyu hurriedly asked, “Wen Xinya, what’s wrong with you? Did something happen?”

Xu Zhenyu was extremely paranoid because Wen Xinya had been abducted twice in the past.

Wen Xinya turned red immediately and awkwardly turned around. She tried to avoid Si Yiyan and said, “I’m alright, don’t worry…”

Before she could even finish speaking, Xu Zhenyu hurriedly interrupted. “Why are you speaking in such a strange tone and breathing so heavily? Did something terrible happen to you…”

Wen Xinya wished that she could find a hole and bury herself in it.

Xu Zhenyu did not get an answer for a long time and the only thing he could hear was her heavy breathing. He asked worriedly, “Wen Xinya, what exactly happened to you? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Wen Xinya swallowed her saliva and got a grip on her emotions. She said solemnly, “I’m really alright. I just stepped on a banana peel by accident and almost slipped. That’s why I got a shock.”

Xu Zhenyu believed what she said. He finally felt a sense of relief.

Si Yiyan smiled and Wen Xinya was filled with an ominous feeling. She frantically said, “I’m really alright. I have something important to attend to now, so I can’t accompany you for a meal. I’ll contact you later. I’m hanging up now…”

Wen Xinya hurriedly ended the call and switched off her mobile phone.

Xu Zhenyu listened to the beeping tones of the call being ended, only to find her behavior to be rather peculiar. They were in the midst of a normal meal and yet, she abruptly left to pick up a call. He then waited for half an hour but she did not return. He tried to call her, only to have her hang up after giving a vague explanation.

He decided to call her again.

“Hello! The number you have dialed has already been switched off!” The monotonous, robotic voice was just like a pot of cold water being splashed onto his head. Xu Zhenyu gritted his teeth.

“Wen Xinya, what exactly are you getting up to? Did something happen to you!?!” The thought of it made him get a little jittery. However, he felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill when he thought about what Wen Xinya said about contacting him later.

Xu Zhenyu was ill at ease and found himself to be stuck in a dilemma.

Si Yiyan asked softly, “Are you done talking over the phone?”

Wen Xinya humphed and ignored him.

Si Yiyan hugged her and coaxed. “Are you angry?”

Wen Xinya still did not answer.

Si Yiyan hugged Wen Xinya and said softly with a sigh, “Weren’t you going to give Xu Zhenyu a call? Hurry and do it. He’s going to be worried because you hung up abruptly.”

Wen Xinya’s heart skipped a beat. She was no fool and realized that it was too coincidental for Si Yiyan to show up at the restaurant. She had been giving in to him because she knew that he was getting jealous and hence, wanted to comfort him.

However, she was still worried and did not want Si Yiyan to carry any suspicions about her. She wanted him to trust her.

She had clearly guessed wrongly and Si Yiyan had indeed gotten jealous, though he did not doubt her. She smiled and said, “Si Yiyan, I really don’t know what to say about you. You’re petty and evil.”

He was indeed very petty. He got jealous as soon as she saw Xu Zhenyu and decided to take it out on her. He even backstabbed Xu Zhenyu and made him worry about her for nothing.
