Ning Shuqian made use of the baby in her belly to stir turmoil in the Wen Family. She didn’t aim directly at her but engaged in flanking tactics, wanting to use the opportunity to drive Mother Wang out of the Wen Family and weaken her standing in the Wen Family. Such a tactic wasn’t used by Ning Shuqian usually—the person who was the best at using this kind of method was instead Xia Ruya.

Although Ning Shuqian didn’t succeed, this incident was enough to alert her.

After all, regardless of her past lifetime or this lifetime, she had dueled with Xia Ruya many times, yet she had never gotten any advantage—seemed like the both of them were on par.

And since Ning Shuqian returned to the Wen Family, she had been acting non-stop and was predicted to have other methods. This made her have no choice but to be on guard.

Thinking of which, Wen Xinya couldn’t help but ponder—what would Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian’s next step be? Making use of this pregnancy, how could Ning Shuqian obtain more advantages from it?

Wen Xinya couldn’t help but think hard about her previous lifetime’s memories, wanting to detect the slightest clue from them.

Very quickly, she had a guess in her heart.

Her fingers kept twirling the pen in her hand, an icy glow filled her eyes, and even the smile on her lips became sharp.

She threw away the pen in her hand, landing her gaze on Si Yiyan who was standing at the French windows, speaking on the phone.

He had on a rare red shirt, the chestnut red color had a tinge of low-key gorgeousness, and, as if dashed with the showiness and extravagance of red color, became elegant yet dignified, vaguely emitting a silent gracefulness.

Hair seemingly dyed with ink spread loosely across his forehead. Sunlight tainted his hair with a soft glow, his jet-black eyes twinkled brilliantly, yet were mild and distant, elegant like a portrait.

As if detecting her gaze, Si Yiyan turned over and looked at her. A slight smile on his lips stole her breath as she hurriedly looked away.

Si Yiyan said something to the person on the phone and hung up shortly after.

In order to conceal the awkwardness of being caught looking at him secretly, Wen Xinya hurriedly asked, “Who were you speaking on the phone with—the call lasted quite a while?”

Si Yiyan held Wen Xinya in his embrace and replied with a smile, “It’s a teacher who specializes in researching ancient etiquette. I was asking about some things related to ancient etiquette.”

Wen Xinya was very curious as she didn’t expect Si Yiyan to actually be interested in ancient etiquette. However, she didn’t ask more—after all, he was conversant with both ancient and modern learning and had profound knowledge. Thus, this wasn’t strange to her.

Si Yiyan saw her pouting her lips, couldn’t help but kiss her lips, and said with a smile, “It’s to prepare for your coming-of-age ceremony.”

Wen Xinya instantly widened her eyes. Her clear, black, bright, and silently gorgeous pupils twinkled and glowed. “You’ve already thought of my coming-of-age ceremony theme in such a short time?”

Previously, she had asked a few times about the content of her coming-of-age ceremony, but Si Yiyan had acted all secretive and smiled without speaking, which made her really curious. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to mention it today.
