Chapter 190
The banquet ended at around 11:00 PM . Wen Xinya said goodbye to Aunt Zhou then left .
Walking out of the hotel, the coldness sent a shiver down her spine . She pulled up her scarf and exhaled softly . Breathing in the chill air at night made her relaxed and comfortable .
It was almost 11:00 PM and nearly all the guests had left . There was only Wen Xinya standing by the gate along, waiting for driver Tao .
At this moment, a black MPV stopped in front of her . As the black window slowly rolled down, she saw that it was Ning Shuqian . “Xinya, your car hasn’t come yet? Get in, I can give you a ride home . ”
Wen Xinya replied plainly, “Don’t worry, Aunt Ning . It’s out of your way . ”
Ning Shuqian pretended to be concerned and said, “I can send you back to the Wen Family’s old mansion first then go back to my place . It’s so late in the night . It’s not safe for you to stand here alone . ”
Wen Xinya smiled and shook her head . “I’ll take a taxi, then . It’s pretty convenient . ”
She wouldn’t ride with Ning Shuqian . Even though she knew that Ning Shuqian would not be stupid and risk her life, Ning Shuqian was always cunning . It would be better to stay cautious .
There was nothing Ning Shuqian could do . “I’ll go, then . ”
Wen Xinya nodded . Ning Shuqian’s car drove away, leaving pungent fumes behind .
Wen Xinya was certain that Ning Shuqian did that on purpose .
With these thoughts, she stamped her foot in anger .
A black customized limited edition Aston Martin stopped beside her . She remembered that this new model was launched recently and there were only a hundred cars worldwide . The sale was by invitation only . It was customized for those rich car-lovers .
The door opened and Si Yiyan came out of the car . He went to the other side and opened the door for Wen Xinya . “Get in the car! It’s cold outside, don’t fall ill . ”
“Si Yiyan, why are you here?” Wen Xinya was shocked . Si Yiyan wore a black casual suit, looking relaxed . It was obvious that he was here just for her .
Si Yiyan came to her and smiled . “What? Are you surprised?”
Wen Xinya nodded and then shook her head . “I’m surprised, but your schedule is always mysterious . So it makes sense that you are here . ”

Her reply made Si Yiyan laugh . “If I didn’t come, you would probably have to take a taxi home today . ” He sized her up and said, “Are you sure that a pretty girl like you is safe to take a taxi?”
“My driver is on the way . ” Wen Xinya frowned . She was afraid to take a taxi as she was kidnapped in a taxi before . Hence, she wouldn’t take a taxi if Tao could pick her up .
“Your driver Tao is in hospital, in a coma . He was plotted against by someone . You didn’t call and ask whether he was coming?” Si Yiyan took a step forward, acting more dominant .
“Tao is always dutiful, he never had me waiting . The banquet just ended, so I didn’t call… How is Tao? Nothing serious, right?” Wen Xinya gulped nervously . It was the first time Si Yiyan was being so tough . His aggressiveness made her anxious .
She realized that her back was already against the street lamp when she wanted to take another step back . There was no other way to go .
Si Yiyan replied softly, “He was just beaten by a stick . He’s in a coma, but it’s no big deal . ”
Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief . Tao was beaten so that he couldn’t come to drive her home . There was only one person who could do such a thing . “It must be that b*tch Ning Shuqian . ”
Si Yiyan nodded in agreement .

Thinking of Ning Shuqian just now, Wen Xinya gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Is Ning Shuqian insane? Does she really think I will wait here like an idiot if Tao can’t come to pick me up? There are taxis everywhere . I can just flag one down and go home . ”
Si Yiyan became serious all of a sudden, like he was ready to attack . “I think she wants more than that . ”
As soon as Si Yiyan finished his sentence, around five to six people walked out of the corner . They didn’t seem to be thugs from the streets . Instead, they looked like powerful gangsters .
Wen Xinya inhaled deeply and said, “This is what Ning Shuqian really wants . ”
They dashed towards Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan without asking . Obviously, they were prepared .
Si Yiyan was serious . His lips were thin and sharp, his handsome face enveloped in coldness . He pulled Wen Xinya behind him and said, “Stay with me . Don’t move . ”
A chill ran down Wen Xinya’s spine . Coldness seemed to have entered her flesh and blood through her skin, making her shiver involuntarily . She could only handle one or two of them even though she was confident of her strength and skills .
What would happen if… if Si Yiyan didn’t come to pick her up .

She didn’t dare to think further .
Ning Shuqian used this to deal with her .
“Si Yiyan, these people are not simple . They must be strong fighters, you need to be careful . ” Wen Xinya was worried about him even though she knew Si Yiyan had no issue handling this situation .
Si Yiyan turned around and kissed her gently . “Don’t worry . They are nothing . ” Si Yiyan said in a low voice .
At this dangerous moment, Wen Xinya was so nervous that she forgot about the kiss just now .
Si Yiyan kicked a man dashing towards them with a knife in hand, wrenched a man’s fist, tripped another and stepped on that guy’s ribs . The weird sound of bones snapping cut through the silence of the night .
In just one minute, the six people were already lying on the ground, moaning .
Si Yiyan didn’t let any of them get near Wen Xinya the whole time . She figured that if it wasn’t for her safety, Si Yiyan would be able to finish these guys in less than a minute .
