Chapter 1839: I Will Give You a Full-Body Massage When We Go Back

Wen Xinya and gang walked out of Ninth-Heaven at the end of their gathering.

The door to a Spyker sports car parked outside was pushed open and Si Yiyan got off leisurely from the vehicle. Under the bright lights, his long, lean silhouette made him look like a prowling panther.

Wen Xinya paused as she gazed at the approaching figure, who walked steadily and resolutely towards her.

She suddenly thought of this phrase which she had read in a romance novel somewhere: Even if there were a thousand people walking past me, I would still be able to pick out your footsteps. Even if there were 999 others stepping on the ground, your feet would be the only ones that tread across my heart...”

Your feet would be the only ones that tread across my heart.

At this point, Wen Xinya’s heart was suddenly beating in rhythm with his footsteps.

Even after being with Si Yiyan for over 10 years, she remained in awe of this man’s exceptional allure.

Zhou Tianyu nudged at Wen Xinya. “You two are together every day, yet you are still drooling over him?”

She might be teasing Wen Xinya, but even so, she couldn’t deny Ninth Si’s extraordinary aura.

Wen Xinya ignored her.

Si Yiyan had arrived in front of them at this point.

Xu Tongxuan grinned. “Now that we have accomplished our mission, we will return her to you.”

With that, she gave Wen Xinya a gentle shove forward.

Caught unawares, Wen Xinya staggered forward straight into Si Yiyan’s arms.

Si Yiyan stepped forward and held her waist. His eyes gleamed with amusement. “Thanks for your efforts!”

Following that, he bid Gu Junling and the rest farewell, before leaving with Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya’s heart continued to race even after being seated in the car. In fact, her heart was beating even faster now because of the heavy, ambiguous atmosphere within the enclosed vehicle. She couldn’t help feeling rather flustered and hurriedly tried to think of something innocuous to say.

“Did you manage to finish your work for today?”

As there had been some changes with the political situation in Russia, and the investigation into the Korean-Chinese Alliance had reached its final critical stage—Si Yiyan had been very busy lately. For several days in a row, he would already be up and working in his study long before she woke up, and he only went to bed when she was already deep in slumber.

Si Yiyan answered with an “mmm” as his eyes continued to dance with merriment.

But Wen Xinya could see that subtle glint in his pupils. “Tonight, you are not allowed to secretly get up again to work after I fall asleep.”

In order to have more time to accompany her during waking hours, Si Yiyan often spent the whole night working.

Wen Xinya’s heart ached at that and she had raised her objection to it several times. She usually acquiesced to Si Yiyan in most matters, but this was the one thing that she couldn’t abide by.

The only thing she could do was to take better care of him in the other aspects of his life. No matter how busy she was, she would personally brew some tonics for his health.

“Alright!” Si Yiyan answered with a smile.

Wen Xinya’s heart warmed as she gazed at the smile lines at the corners of his eyes.

This man was stoic and cold and seldom displayed many emotions. Those who didn’t know him would be intimidated by his aloof manner.

But those who knew him well and understood him would know what a passionate fire raged under his cold, distant facade.

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

Her gaze was tender, and it was as if her eyes were penetrating directly into his soul. Si Yiyan felt his blood begin to churn.

Wen Xinya pondered for a moment before answering, “I will give you a full-body massage when we go back!”

Si Yiyan was the force behind Lucifer and he also had to oversee the Xiasi Group. How could he possibly not be busy?

He was the backbone of Lucifer and the leader of Xiasi Group. Although he didn’t need to personally oversee every single detail of all the operations, they still required his leadership, his analysis, and his strategy-making. It was like a complex game with many moving parts—and he stood right at the top with overall control of everything, ready to make a move at any time.

She might be busy, but he was even busier than her.

She might be under a lot of stress, but he was under even more stress than her.

“Alright!” Si Yiyan’s eyes lit up enchantingly.

Perhaps his eyes shone too enchantingly. For a moment, Wen Xinya didn’t dare to meet his gaze and quickly added, “Don’t think wayward thoughts. I am giving you a massage only because you have been working so hard lately, and I want you to relax a bit.”

Si Siyan’s smile widened and Wen Xinya suddenly realized what she had inadvertently implied. She blushed and immediately glanced away, not daring to meet his eyes.

She had foolishly revealed what she had intended to hide!

Wen Xinya, where did all your high intellect go?

Could it be she was too tired?

Si Yiyan reached out to stroke her hair. His smile deepened as he stared into her eyes in all seriousness. “I wasn’t thinking of any wayward thoughts. I swear!”

Full-body massage!

A massage was such physically-intimate action—he had indeed been slightly aroused. But it was that silly girl’s emphasis on the ambiguity of the massage that had further stimulated him.

Wen Xinya choked and was speechless for a moment before glaring at him. “I can’t be bothered with you.”

With that, she tossed her head petulantly and glanced at the lights flashing past the car window. She was really going to ignore him now.

A pity as she missed the doting expression on Si Yiyan’s face as he gazed at her sulky behavior.

“Xinya!” Si Yiyan coaxed.

Wen Xinya continued to look outside. The brilliant colors of the Chinese roses growing by the roadside flashed by. She couldn’t help being moved by the vibrancy of the blooms.

But she continued to ignore him.

“Xinya, are you really angry?” He didn’t mean to tease her, but her reaction had been just too adorable.

She was adamant in her bid to ignore him and turned a deaf ear to his pleas.

“Are you really going to ignore me?” Si Yiyan asked gently.

Wen Xinya pouted and put on a haughty expression.

“Screech...” The car came to a sudden stop.

Although she had on her safety belt, Wen Xinya’s body lurched forward due to the sudden braking of the vehicle. Si Yiyan immediately leaned over and held her firmly down onto the seat.

The two of them were extremely close.

Si Yiyan maintained their positions and stared into her eyes in silence.

Wen Xinya was totally shocked by the abrupt braking. Now with his face suddenly looming so close before her, her mind went blank while her heart continued to race wildly and her breathing quickened. The atmosphere in the car grew intense and heavy.

“What are you doing? Why did you suddenly stop the car? You are not allowed to stop right in the middle of the road.”
