In the evening, Wen Xinya went for a beauty SPA session at Floral Lingo Pavilion and started to prepare for that night’s birthday banquet when she got home. Grampy seemed to regard this friend with great importance since he told her to deliver a gift so seriously.

As she opened her wardrobe, her originally vacant wardrobe was filled with clothes bought by Si Yiyan that day she ran into him at Jo-ramst. Si Yiyan had bought one of almost each of the designs that flattered her. A rough calculation would add up to twenty pieces of clothing, suitable for all types of events and dress codes.

Wen Xinya picked a beige dress that flattered her slim waist. Just as she was about to take it out, she could not help but recall that one time Si Yiyan personally helped her put on that pair of silver-gray shoes. Ever since she brought it back, she had not worn it even once.

Wen Xinya changed her mind and picked another evening gown.

The material of the gown was made of gold and silver velvet threads and carried the honor and respect represented by the gold color, as well as the luxury symbolized by the silver color. They were mixed together and neutralized to avoid being too eye-catching.

Wen Xinya changed into the gown, put on that pair of shoes, and took a few gentle steps in front of the mirror. The gown flared out like a lotus leaf, swaying and creating calm, delicate waves over her feet, at times hiding the gems on her shoes. They were a match made in heaven.

She stared at her shoes, slightly fascinated, as if she could still feel his gentle and skinny hand holding her ankle and shuddered.

Deep in these thoughts, her phone rang.

Wen Xinya quickly got rid of her train of thought and picked up without looking at the number. “Hello, I’m Wen Xinya!”

“Xinya, it’s me!” Si Yiyan’s voice traveled through the phone and reached her ear.

Wen Xinya’s heart trembled. Si Yiyan’s voice was not clear like it usually was. It had a hint of hoarseness and turbidity, revealing his exhaustion and weakness, causing her heart to tighten suddenly.

“Why are you not speaking?” Si Yiyan asked in a low tone.

His lowered tone sounds even more dull, resembling one of a patient who had been ill for a long time, nowhere as clear as his usual voice. “Where are you now? Why did you suddenly disappear?”

Her tone was questioning. Although he did save her when she was kidnapped, she could not help the fostering suspicion growing in her heart. He should know… after he left for these few days, she had guessed the reason for his departure.

“I have some things to take care of. Most likely, I won’t be in the country for a while, and I won’t be able to keep in contact with you either.” Si Yiyan’s voice was hoarse, sounding weak, sincere, yet guilty at the same time.

Wen Xinya’s grip on the phone tightened. “Si Yiyan, did something happen to you?”

Previously, she had already guessed that he was involved in the black society, and his words just confirmed her suspicions. Furthermore… now that technology has advanced so much, international calls were very common, yet he said that they should avoid contact for some time!

Besides the dangers that Si Yiyan was in, she could not think of anything else that might cause them to avoid contact!

But once the words left her mouth, she instantly regretted. Since he did not mention anything about that matter, she took the initiative to ask. However, it came off sounding as if she was interfering with his life. If he did not want to answer, things would definitely become awkward between them. Thinking so, she quickly changed the topic. “Si Yiyan, thank you for saving me when I got kidnapped!”
