Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1157: Si Yiyan’s Thoughts

Wen Xinya was both perplexed and miserable about Xu Zhenyu’s harsh attitude towards her.

She tried to explain her relationship with Si Yiyan to Xu Zhenyu. However, there was nothing she could do if Xu Zhenyu deliberately tried to avoid her. After all, the base camp was Xu Zhenyu’s territory and she was just a student of the military training program. Hence, she faced plenty of restrictions during the program.

Although she got to see Xu Zhenyu during training, she was not allowed to speak to him at all. Besides, he often had a cold and austere expression on his face. He did not even bother looking at her, thus making her feel infuriated.

She was extremely upset.

Whenever she spoke to Si Yiyan over the phone, she would complain and air her grievances to him. “Si Yiyan, why do you think Xu-er is avoiding me all the time? All I did was hide our relationship from him. Must he do that?”

She was certain that Xu Zhenyu was angry simply because she didn’t tell him about her relationship with Si Yiyan.

Si Yiyan remained silent!

He felt that he had been worrying for nothing previously. He thought, I should have thought about this right from the start. Xinya may seem intelligent, but she’s actually very slow-witted when it comes to love. Those who fancy her but are too afraid to express their feelings for her would only face defeat, because not only is she slow-witted... she has never treated love as a part of her life. In other words, she could do without love.

Back then, he chose not to hide his feelings for her because he had noticed that trait of hers. Hence, he decided to openly express his intentions and laid a trap for her to fall into.

The thought of it made him feel rather heartened.

He began taking sympathy on Xu Zhenyu whom he reckoned felt terrible because there was nothing he could do except bottle his feelings. He was sure that Xu Zhenyu would go crazy because he was immature when it came to love.

Wen Xinya continued, “Although Tianyu and the rest were displeased with me when they first found out and they even plotted against me, they weren’t as petty as him! He really treats me like his soldiers. All he does is put me through 16 hours of training a day. Is he out to kill me!?!”

So much for being worried about his health and offering my precious herbal recipes to him. Yet, he still treated me so harshly. The thought of it... made her feel extremely upset.

Si Yiyan asked with a stern expression, “What did you say?”

16 hours of high-intensity training? Xu Zhenyu actually did that to her?

She could sense how stern Si Yiyan was over the phone and she berated herself for letting it slip off her tongue. She frantically tried to salvage it. “It’s nothing much actually, he just wanted me to make up for the training that I had lost in the past four days. It’s not that tough.”

Given Si Yiyan’s character, he would definitely give Xu Zhenyu a hard time if he were to find out what Xu Zhenyu had done to Wen Xinya. He would not let him off, not even on her account.

Although she was displeased with Xu Zhenyu, she did not actually hold it against him and hence, did not want Si Yiyan to harm Xu Zhenyu.

Si Yiyan asked calmly, “16 hours of high-intensity training? You call that nothing much?”

Those who knew Si Yiyan would know that he had a strong willpower and would never lose his temper. The angrier he was, the calmer he would be and the more threatening he would be too.

Wen Xinya’s heart palpitated and she said, “I just wanted to catch up with everyone as soon as possible. I’m sure you know... that the military training program is about to end soon and the drill performance is going to happen soon. Everyone’s been training hard lately. I’m only putting in two extra hours.”

Actually, it was only today that her peers had begun training harder. It had been three days since she began training strenuously for 16 hours a day.

Si Yiyan asked softly, “Can you take it?”

He knew right from the start, that Xu Zhenyu and Wen Xinya would drift further away from each other in the end because of her. It was a fact that could not be changed. When a woman was in love, she would be willing to do anything for her loved one. When a man was in love, he would do anything to possess the woman he loved.

Xu Zhenyu was not the kind to turn his love into resentment just because his crush did not reciprocate his feelings. He merely found it unacceptable for now and could not come to terms with the fact that Wen Xinya had already fallen in love with someone else. Most importantly, he never got to confess his love to Wen Xinya, who had been enjoying the affection of someone else while he was busy fretting over her.

In the past, Xu Zhenyu painstakingly tried to get involved with the military training program, simply because he wanted to keep an eye on her. However... now that he knew that she had fallen in love with someone else, he would definitely be unable to take it, especially since he loved her that much.

Hence, he decided to use the strenuous training to torture Wen Xinya. He needed some time to adjust to it and save himself from his extreme emotions.

Si Yiyan could not shoulder the burden for Wen Xinya.

He could not intervene much, either. Otherwise, his plans might backfire and he might easily create a chance for Xu Zhenyu to take advantage.

Wen Xinya said, “I’m alright. I just couldn’t complete the missions because of the extra training. Xu Zhenyu wouldn’t punish me for that, so I can still take it.”

Si Yiyan knew that she was just trying to comfort him. Feeling an immense heartache, he silently bore a grudge against Xu Zhenyu and tried to think about how he should stop him.

Having been dating him for a long time, Wen Xinya naturally knew what he was thinking. She frantically said, “Just stay out of this. The military training program is ending soon, anyway. I’ll only be working hard for two days.”

Si Yiyan frowned slightly. Actually, he knew that there would be a strain on his friendship with Wen Xinya if Xu Zhenyu were to bottle all his feelings up and not vent them. However, he could not bring himself to leave her in the lurch.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “I believe Xu Zhenyu won’t hurt me.”

Since she had already said that, it was really inappropriate for him to intervene. Si Yiyan sighed and said, “In that case, I’ll get Mrs. Tan to brew some soup that will help your body recover.”

Although the results were slow, it was better than nothing. Sometimes, he could not help but feel a little sad about the fact that he had an independent girlfriend, for that would mean that he would barely get the chance to show how dutiful he was.

Wen Xinya gladly agreed.
