Wen Xinya bid Du Ruo farewell at 4:30 pm. Du Ruo felt weird about her leaving 30 minutes earlier. Usually, Wen Xinya would stay till 5 o’clock in the afternoon.

Du Ruo casually asked if everything was alright, but did not ask further when Wen Xinya replied and assured her that there wasn’t any problem.

The real reason for Wen Xinya leaving the Du Mansion earlier was because of Si Yiyan. He told her that morning he would come to fetch her. In her previous life, she was deeply hurt by that man. But in this life, she did not wish to be embroiled in sexual relations with him. However, she could not bring herself to reject Si Yiyan and knew that he was someone who would not take “no” for an answer. Therefore, avoiding him was the only thing she could do for now.

Wen Xinya left the Du Mansion and walked along the little stone path leading to the main road. She saw a black car—The Lucifer—stopped by the roadside. Si Yiyan was standing beside the car, leaning on the door. His vision was locked on her as if he could see through her soul.

Wen Xinya frowned. She felt uncomfortable with him staring at her. It made her feel she had nowhere to hide. “Didn’t you say you would pick me up at 5 o’clock? Why are you so early?”

Si Yiyan had guessed her intention of avoiding him. He came earlier on purpose so that he would not miss her. “I have nothing on, so I came early. I didn’t expect your class to end before 5 o’clock. I was lucky to arrive before you left.”

Wen Xinya felt a sense of guilt. “Didn’t you say you would send me back? Let’s get moving! Ruo Ruo gave me a few recipes for medicinal cuisines that are good for Grampy. I need to return earlier to prepare and cook them for him.”

She used cooking for Grampy as an excuse to leave early. Her eagerness to explain made it even more obvious to him that she was trying to avoid him.

Si Yiyan smiled and replied, “Even if you leave at 5 o’clock, it won’t make any difference. You don’t need to be impatient. There’s a lot of time.”

Wen Xinya was embarrassed for her intentions being exposed. “Are you going to drive? Otherwise, I will just hail a taxi,” she said angrily while walking to the other side of the car and opening the door.

“You are behaving like a furious cute little wildcat.” Si Yiyan looked at her and said in a flirtatious tone. He then started the engine.

As soon as the car reached the Mo’s bungalow, Wen Xinya got out of the car panickedly and dashed into the house. She bumped into Mother He.

“Ai yo! My Young Mistress, why are you in such a hurry?” Mother He held her carefully while trying to balance herself. She was shocked by Missus Wen’s recklessness.

Wen Xinya was extremely apologetic. “I’m sorry for bumping into you, Mother He.”

“What happened, my dear? You were in such a rush as if you were on fire! Luckily you bumped into me and not somewhere else. Otherwise, it would be disastrous!” Mother He said.

“I got a few recipes for medicinal cuisines from Ruo Ruo. I was in a rush to prepare the ingredients so that I can cook for Grampy,” replied Wen Xinya with a slight sense of guilt.

Si Yiyan walked into the house calmly. He was holding a bag in his hand. “You are in a rush to make medicine for Grampy, but you’ve left the raw medicinal ingredients you took from Old Du’s place in my car.”
