Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After ending the call, Wen Xinya took a deep breath and walked out of the hospital . The biting cold sent a shiver down her spine and she instinctively shrugged her shoulders, only to discover that she was still dressed in the silver gown she had worn to the gala . It was made out of thin fabric, leaving her shoulders exposed . It was not enough to shield her from the cold at all .
Just as she was about to collect her car from the car park, she felt a sudden warmth around her shoulders and she was pulled into a warm embrace . She looked up to meet the eyes of Si Yiyan, which were dark as the night sky .
Wen Xinya hugged him and asked coquettishly, “What brings you here?”
“I found out that you were hospitalized, so I came specially to see you . ” Si Yiyan raised her chin gently, forcing her to hold his gaze . Staring at the palm mark on her face, he raised his brows and exuded a commanding aura .
He then shifted his gaze to the bloodstains and scratch marks on her chest, after which his lips pressed tightly together and a sullen expression formed on his face .
“Si Yiyan, I…” Wen Xinya murmured . However, she could not bring herself to finish her sentence after seeing how commanding Si Yiyan looked . She began blaming herself for being incompetent .
Si Yiyan gently lifted the jacket on her shoulders, only to see that her porcelain skin was covered in welts and bruises from Old Mrs . Wen’s attacks . His pupils constricted and he began breathing heavily .
“Didn’t you promise that you wouldn’t let anyone hurt you again?” Si Yiyan questioned sternly with an intense austerity in his eyes .
“I won’t next time…” said Wen Xinya, who knew that she was at fault . She hung her head low in guilt, for she had indeed made such a promise to him when Wen Haowen hit her head previously .
Si Yiyan did not take any pity on her at all . Instead, a menacing expression formed on his face and his eyes were just like a black hole, full of danger and mystery .
Feeling rather flustered and anxious, Wen Xinya grabbed his hand and pleaded pitifully in a coquettish tone . “Don’t be angry at me, alright? I did promise you but… accidents are inevitable sometimes…”
Her voice began to fade gradually, and she slowly became more and more guilty . She hung her head low and continuously tried to glance at Si Yiyan using her peripheral vision .
However, Si Yiyan remained still and stared at her coldly .
Wen Xinya felt a cold shiver down her spine and hurriedly hugged his arm and exclaimed, “Don’t get angry! I’ll be very careful next time… I really will . I’m not lying to you . I promise…”
Si Yiyan gently retracted his arm and stared at her sullenly .
Wen Xinya was stunned by his terrifying gaze . Ever since the day they met, she had known about how cold he could be . However, she had never expected that he would ever treat her in such a hostile manner .
She was suddenly plagued with an uneasy feeling and felt rather aggrieved . She had been feeling extremely tense throughout the gala, for fear that the slightest blunder would cause dire consequences . Yet, she still could not ward against Ning Shuqian’s scheming plot against her, nor could she stop Wen Haowen from being relentless towards her .

Indeed… she had been spoiled rotten by Si Yiyan, so much that she could not take the slightest bit of harsh treatment .
Si Yiyan asked, “Wen Xinya, I know you want to become stronger and be in charge of your own destiny . But do you know what it takes to be a competent and strong person?”
Wen Xinya was greatly startled by the question, to which she had no answer .
Si Yiyan stared at her and said sternly, “You’re smart, rational, resourceful, full of wisdom and tenacity . You don’t lack determination or resoluteness . But you lack self-confidence, the key ingredient to success . ”
Wen Xinya stared at him in shock and disbelief .
Self-confidence… Si Yiyan is right . I ended up in a tragic plight in my previous lifetime because of how dense and pathetic I was, so much that I was disapproved by the Wen Family .
Hence, she was well aware of how important the approval of the Wen Family was to her . Hence, in this lifetime, she gradually began making her decisions based on Old Mr . Wen’s opinions and hence, ended up losing her self-confidence . She had set a boundary for herself and guarded it closely, not allowing anyone or herself to break it .
She was so cold to Wen Haowen that she did not carry any hopes of being close to him at all . However, she chose to accept all his scoldings .
She also chose to tolerate Old Mrs . Wen’s overbearing ways .

Si Yiyan sighed and continued, “Xinya, I don’t believe that you still carry any feelings for the Wen Family . You’re always tolerating their harsh treatment and suffering in silence . Although you may succeed by being very cautious with every step you take… it’s only a matter of time before you get defeated by reality . ”
The Wen Family would implicate her sooner or later .
Wen Xinya shuddered uncontrollably due to the immense shock and bewilderment . The coldness of the marble floor below her feet seemed to have penetrated through her skin and moved up her bones, all the way into her heart .
Noticing that something was amiss about her, Si Yiyan nudged her and said, “Xinya!”
Wen Xinya took a few steps back and looked up at Si Yiyan . Although she wanted to say something, she could not speak because of the chilliness .
The charming gaze in Si Yiyan’s gaze instantly vanished and he stared at Wen Xinya, the veins on her face almost visible underneath the bright light .
Wen Xinya forced a lopsided smile . It turns out… she thought that she had escaped her destiny in her previous lifetime . Yet, she was actually still in square one .
The so-called growth and success were just false images created by money .
She felt just like a paper tiger, fragile and weak .

She closed her eyes slowly . By the time she opened her eyes again, she was greeted with a glimmer of light .
