<h4>Chapter 1701: Si Yiyan Is Home!</h4>


    Before Grandpa gave Yang Ziyu’s child a name, she had already secretly nicknamed him Baby!


    Wen Xinya arrived at the nursery after visiting Grandpa.


    Baby was lying in his incubator, hisrge eyes as ck as grapes and sparkling prettily. In just a few short days, his wrinkled red skin had smoothened out a bit, and he looked extremely adorable.


    Perhaps because he was bored, his fat legs kicked up into the air, while his hands curled into little fists and he waving them over his head.


    Wen Xinya’s heart softened into mush.


    She couldn’t resist reaching one finger and gently poking at the incubator ss in the direction of his little face.


    As if he felt it, Baby turned and blinked at her.


    “So cute!” Wen Xinya felt quite moved.


    She suddenly felt an urge to have an adorable little fellow just like this with Si Yiyan.


    Her imagination started spinning out of control the moment this notion popped into her head. She started dreaming of how their baby would look like, whether it would be as cute as him.


    Si Yiyan was such an exemry guy, wouldn’t his kid be just as extraordinary?


    All sorts of ideas starting swarming her mind. She realized that she did not mind bearing children for Si Yiyan at all. In fact, she rather looked forward to it and was excited about it.


    ***


    Wen Xinya’s mood grew dark at the thought of Si Yiyan.


    Another two days had passed since she spoke with Xu Xianghu on the phone, but Si Yiyan had yet to return. There was also nomunication from him at all. His whereabouts remained a mystery. All her phone calls were directed to voice-mail, while her messages remained unanswered.


    Gu Yuexi, Xu Xianghu, Gu Yuehan, Yueze—


    Like a crazed person, she had obsessively gone after everyone she knew, every connection she had, in order to track down Si Yiyan.


    Just then, Wen Xinya’s phone rang.


    She paused abruptly, her high heels slipping at her sudden stoppage, and she nearly fell on the floor.


    Wen Xinya excitedly drew out her mobile phone from her bag. “Si Yiyan, it that you?”


    Her agitated voice was full of surprise, anticipation, and urgency!


    Si Yiyan smiled. “Darling, the helicopter willnd at the Mount Li mansionnding strip in 40 minutes’ time.”


    He had gone to Nepal after leaving Iraq.


    He had traveled like a tourist, going sightseeing and basking in the warm, holy aura of Buddhism. Nevertheless, he felt lonely and isted in a country without her, and so started to make his way home.


    Wen Xinya hurriedly said, “I aming back right now!”


    With that, she sprinted madly toward the car park.


    Her high heels ttered nonstop against the floor, crisp, rhythmic and pleasing to the ear.


    “The helicopter isnding now, so I can’t stay on the phone any longer. Remember, no speeding!” With that, Si Yiyan hung up.


    Wen Xinya clutched tightly to the mobile in her hands as a radiant smile spread across her face.


    <i>Si Yiyan is home!</i>


    <i>Si Yiyan is finally home!</i>


    Wen Xinya sped directly toward the Mount Li mansion. At this timing, traffic flow in Capital city was rather smooth, so she met with no obstacles on the way back. She didn’t even encounter many red lights.


    The rows of Chinese roses growing by the roadside flew by the corners of her eyes in one colorful, brilliant blur.


    Wen Xinya started horning crazily the moment her car entered the gates of the mansion. She was announcing to the man waiting inside: “I am back!”


    ***


    Si Yiyan was standing by the window wearing a tea-colored shirt. The sunlight reflected from his long, slender frame dazzled her.


    Did this perfect, wless man really belong to her?


    Wen Xinya paused. Five days’ worth of anxiety bubbled in her heart.


    She suddenly realized that in reality, she was the weaker party in this rtionship.


    No matter where he was, he controlled her feelings, thoughts, and actions like a puppeteer pulling a puppet’s strings.


    Si Yiyan could disappear from her life without a trace. But she realized that there was no way she could ever bear to leave him now.


    Si Yiyan slowly turned around. “Darling, I am back!”


    Wen Xinya smiled tearfully as she leaped into his arms.


    Whatever hesitations and doubts she had were totally thrown to the back of her mind.


    Look, it was just that simple. Just one nce, one word from Si Yiyan could attract her like a moth toward a me, making her pounce into his embrace without any qualms.


    She plunged her body into his, but he remained steadfast and unmoving. “Did you miss me?”


    Wen Xinya pouted. “No, not at all.”


    However, her arms around his waist tightened.


    “You have made me wait for 100 days, 2,400 hours, 144,000 minutes, and 8,640,000 seconds. Every day, every hour, every minute and every second, I have been missing you.”


    Wen Xinya’s voice was low and raspy as she narrated how much she missed this man.


    Si Yiyan was suddenly speechless.


    The gravity of his embrace disyed just how deeply he felt.


    Si Yiyan hugged her tightly as if he wanted to melt her into his own body. As if only by doing so could he make his iplete soul whole again.


    “Si Yiyan, as long as you are safe and sound.”


    All the longing, agony and worries he caused her were no longer important or worthy fussing over. She would not even ask where he had gone or what he did during the time he went missing.


    Si Yiyan’s heart trembled. “Iraq’s situation is within my control now. Xu Zhenyu’s mission ispleted and he can return after a period of time...”


    Si Yiyan started telling her all that happened in the Middle East.


    Wen Xinya interrupted him. “Si Yiyan, I treasure my friendship with Xu Zhenyu, but he has never been an obstacle in our rtionship. My heart has belonged to you right from the beginning, and it forever will.”


    She stared at him in all seriousness. Her gaze was one of utmost resolution.


    It appeared that Si Yiyan was very disturbed by the affinity between her and Xu Zhenyu. She thought Si Yiyan understood her tonic feelings toward Xu Zhenyu, and so never bothered to exin herself.


    She was obviously wrong.


    “Mmm, I know!”


    He had tried his best to help Xu Zhenyu for three reasons.


    First, he wanted Xu Zhenyu to owe him one. With Xu Zhenyu’s proud character, there was no way that he would evere between them.


    Second, since he epted this mission because of Wen Xinya, he would not allow himself to fail in front of her.


    Third, it was also to repay Xu Zhenyu for his protection of Wen Xinya in her previous life. Wen Xinya belonged to him and he would take on all her debts and grudges, whether it was from the previous life or this current one!


    Obviously, she had misunderstood.


    Mmm, this was a wonderful misunderstanding. Let her continue believing this misconception!
