Chapter 16 Admiring Her Man

• Nian Xunxia had been frightened twice in a row, leaving her unsettled. Now, after being scolded by Si Jincheng, a thin layer of mist formed in her eyes.
• "I'm sorry, I felt it was too stuffy inside and wanted to go out for some fresh air."
• Her voice was low, like a clear spring dropping into a cracked porcelain, lacking crispness and carrying a hint of dullness.
• Si Jincheng's mood also became gloomy upon hearing this. He raised his hand and pinched his brow, "Why are you crying?"
• Fortunately, there weren't many people here. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for the dignified Mrs. Si to cry outside.
• "I'm not crying." Nian Xunxia stubbornly turned her head, suppressing the tears in her eyes.
• She didn't know why she felt like crying, perhaps because she had been under too much pressure lately.
• Her brother's illness, unexpectedly getting pregnant, and having to impersonate someone else...
• Si Jincheng raised his hand that was hanging by his side, wanting to pat her shoulder, but it remained suspended in mid-air, unable to come down.
• If he treated her well, it would be unfair to Xia Xia.
• But seeing her pitiful appearance, it inexplicably reminded him of Xia Xia.
• His mind became entangled like countless threads, tangled into a mess.
• "You stay here and don't move."
• He impatiently tugged at his tie, glanced at Nian Xunxia, and then turned around and left after saying a few words.
• "You..."
• Nian Xunxia wanted to say something more, but she saw Si Jincheng already striding away.
• Soon, Si Jincheng returned. His peripheral vision glanced at Nian Xunxia, and he coldly said, "Let's go home."
• Nian Xunxia furrowed her brows in confusion.
• As far as she knew, the banquet should last at least two hours. They had only been here for a little over half an hour, so they were leaving already? Isn't that equivalent to leaving right after they arrived? Will it leave a bad impression?
• Si Jincheng happened to be in front of her, and she voiced her doubts.
• A mocking smile tugged at the corner of his lips, but he didn't say anything.
• Does this woman not know about the Si family's status in Yun City, or even in the entire H country?
• Even if they didn't attend this banquet tonight, no one would dare to say anything.
• Now that they not only came but also stayed for over half an hour, those old men would be delighted and unable to sleep tonight.
• Nian Xunxia pursed her lips, her cheeks blushing with embarrassment.
• Come to think of it, with the Si family's current status and Si Jincheng's abilities, he could easily walk sideways in Yun City.
• But at the young age of 23, she was able to take over the empire built by several generations of the Si family. Not only did she not become a tyrant and ruin the country, but she also brought the Si Group to even greater heights!
• Thinking of this, she looked at Si Jincheng with a hint of admiration and respect in her eyes.
• Si Jincheng noticed the gaze of the young woman, and a trace of indiscernible emotion leaked from the corner of his eye.
• However, this burning gaze seemed to make his body start to heat up, and he felt a slight discomfort in his eyebrows.
• "Ahem." He coughed lightly, easing the restlessness inside him, "If you know you're not worthy of me, be sensible and quickly talk to your grandmother about divorce. I can still give you a large sum of money to ensure a worry-free life for the rest of your days."
• At that moment, all the passion in Nian Xunxia's chest was extinguished by Si Jincheng's words.
• She pouted and said forcefully, "No matter what, I will never divorce you. Since I married you, you are mine."
• Si Jincheng furrowed his brow in confusion.
• He was hers?
• What kind of logic was this?
• For some reason, he surprisingly didn't resist this statement deep down in his heart.
• Realizing his own peculiarity, Si Jincheng lowered his gaze and sneered mockingly.
• He turned and left the Yun family's gate, with Nian Xunxia following behind. The two of them waited at the entrance for the driver to come.
• "Xunxun, is that you?"
• A man suddenly approached, his eyes filled with surprise and astonishment.
• Upon hearing these words, Nian Xunxia was so scared that her entire body's hair stood on end. She was now "Yang Chuxia," not Nian Xunxia!
• Out of the corner of her eye, she discreetly glanced at Si Jincheng, afraid that he would notice something unusual.
