Chapter 438: Chapter 436: Her Blood Ran Cold, Inch by Inch Chapter 438: Chapter 436: Her Blood Ran Cold, Inch by Inch Yan Family.

The servants had prepared the meals, and Mother Yan called Xia Yiwan upstairs to come down for dinner.

“Wanwan, is Yanxi coming home for dinner tonight?”

Xia Yiwan nodded, “He sent me a message, he will be home soon.”

Mother Yan saw that Yanxi had been behaving quite well recently and curled her lips in satisfaction.

“That boy, don’t be fooled by his flirtatious appearance. In fact, he has never been in a relationship before. He was still innocent when he got together with you, like a blank piece of paper in terms of emotions. Fortunately, he met you. Otherwise, I would be afraid of other women deceiving him!”

Mother Yan had both joy and worry when it came to her own son.

With an IQ of 200, he could thrive in the business and political arenas, managing Yan’s meticulously and orderly.

But as for love, he was naive yet stubborn.

She could only hope that after being with Wanwan, he would be able to see his own heart clearly and not do anything that would hurt Wanwan!

When Xia Yiwan was with Mother Yan, she would often feel like she was Mother Yan’s daughter, and Yanxi was the adopted one.

Mother Yan truly doted on her as her own flesh and blood.

Mother Yan and Xia Yiwan went downstairs, and Yanxi also happened to arrive home.

He placed a bag on the sofa and took Xia Yiwan’s hand from Mother Yan’s.

“What did you do today? Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?”

Seeing the concern in the man’s peach blossom eyes, Xia Yiwan smiled and shook her head, “All is well. I met up with Yaoyao today, and we went shopping together!”

When he heard Xia Yiwan mention Ming Yao, Yanxi slightly furrowed his brows.

He had seen the news from a few days ago too.

Fourth Brother Ming Yao’s experimental chip data had been stolen, and he seemed to have been kicked out of Gu Corporation.

Honestly, such a big change was quite lamentable.

As a former good brother, Yanxi couldn’t just ignore the situation.

He had his assistant reach out to Lu Zhou, but Lu Zhou said Fourth Brother didn’t need help.

Since Fourth Brother had pushed Shi Ying down the stairs last time, there had been a rift between them.

Yanxi couldn’t bring himself to reach out for reconciliation, and they had remained estranged since.

“Ming Yao didn’t say anything to you, did she?”

Hearing Yanxi’s words, Xia Yiwan felt a bit displeased.

“Do you have too big of a prejudice against Yaoyao?”

Yanxi pinched Xia Yiwan’s palm, “Alright, let’s not talk about unhappy things. Let’s go have dinner!”

The two went to the dining room.

Yanxi would occasionally serve Xia Yiwan dishes, showing utmost care for her.

Xia Yiwan, who had felt a little upset before, saw his behavior and let go of her beef with him.

After dinner, Yanxi walked with Xia Yiwan in the garden for half an hour.

Xia Yiwan held onto his arm, strolling with him under the sunset, gazing at the colorful skies, feeling sweetness and warmth spreading in her heart.

If possible, she wanted to continue walking hand in hand with him like this.

Hand in hand with him, to grow old together!

“Yanxi, do you want a boy or a girl?”

Yanxi glanced at Xia Yiwan’s still flat stomach and extended his large hand to touch it, “Either is fine, what about you?”

“I want a sweet little cotton-padded jacket.”

Seeing the expectant look in Xia Yiwan’s almond-shaped eyes, he smiled and said, “A little cotton-padded jacket is nice. If she looks like you, she will be very cute.”

“They say that little cotton-padded jackets resemble their fathers, so she will definitely be a little beauty.”

A girl with Yanxi’s looks would also be very attractive.

Back at the villa, Xia Yiwan pulled Yanxi into the bedroom.

“I bought you some clothes while shopping today; try them on!”

Xia Yiwan had bought a casual suit, and once Yanxi put it on, it fit perfectly, quite suitable.

“My wife has really good taste.”

Xia Yiwan smiled as she punched him lightly, “All day long, you’re just full of sweet talk.”

Yanxi hugged Xia Yiwan into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her.

The couple was affectionate for a while before Yanxi felt the urge to smoke, and he went to the balcony to light one up.

Lately, he had been smoking the cigarettes he got from Shi Ying, needing to smoke two or three every day and feeling anxious if he went a day without one.

He didn’t know why, but he had grown accustomed to the cigarettes Sister Shi Ying gave him, and other brands just didn’t taste the same anymore.

Xia Yiwan took her pajamas and prepared to go to the bathroom for a shower.

Suddenly, a knock at the door sounded.

Xia Yiwan opened the door to find a servant holding a bag at the entrance.

“Young Madam, the young master left his clothes on the couch, so I brought them up for him.”

Xia Yiwan took the bag and nodded, “Thank you.”

Xia Yiwan closed the door and glanced at the bag of clothes.

A flicker of doubt passed through her almond-shaped eyes.

It was from the flagship store she and Yaoyao had visited; later, when Shi Ying entered the store, she and Yaoyao left!

Xia Yiwan opened the bag and looked at the clothes inside.

When she saw the stylish and simple denim jacket, Xia Yiwan’s pupils tightened dramatically.

Had she seen wrong?

Otherwise, how could she have seen the jacket that Shi Ying picked out?

At the time, she felt that the jacket Shi Ying chose suited Yanxi’s style of dress very well.

She had told herself not to overthink it, maybe Shi Ying bought it for another man!

After Yanxi finished his cigarette and came into the bedroom, he saw Xia Yiwan staring at the jacket, and his face changed immediately.

He strode over and snatched the jacket from Xia Yiwan’s hands, “Wanwan, what are you looking at?”

Xia Yiwan looked up at Yanxi, “This denim jacket looks pretty good. Did you buy it yourself, or was it a gift from someone else?”

A flicker of panic crossed Yanxi’s peach blossom eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

What was he panicking for?

Sister Ying had just given him a piece of clothing, not something indecent.

Yanxi wanted to be honest, but remembering Xia Yiwan’s sensitivity toward Sister Shi Ying, the words that almost left his mouth turned into, “I bought it myself, looks decent, right?”

Bought it himself?

Xia Yiwan’s blood ran cold inch by inch.

If she hadn’t seen that jacket in the store with Yaoyao, she might have believed him!

But she had seen with her own eyes the jacket Shi Ying had chosen.

This was definitely not a coincidence, Xia Yiwan had an intuition that the jacket in Yanxi’s hands was the one Shi Ying had bought!

Xia Yiwan’s eyes started to burn with a hot ache.

She really wanted to continue deceiving herself, to keep hypnotizing herself.

But she couldn’t…

The clothes, the necklace, the dinner… everything was a reminder of the unusual relationship between Shi Ying and Yanxi.

Yaoyao had told her that Gu Siting and Shi Ying were no longer in contact.

If Gu Siting was Shi Ying’s first love, and for Yaoyao’s sake, he knew to keep his distance, why couldn’t Yanxi do the same?

Was Shi Ying more important to him than her and their child?

Seeing Xia Yiwan with downcast eyes and tightly pursed lips, thinking about who knows what, Yanxi suddenly felt a little panicked.

He took her delicate shoulders with his large palm, pulling her into his embrace, “Wanwan, shall I have someone send the latest designer clothes and bags to you tomorrow?”

Xia Yiwan lifted her almond-shaped eyes to look at Yanxi.

With her understanding of him, unless caught red-handed, he would never admit it.

She curved her lips slightly, “No need, I have plenty of clothes.”

She stepped out of his arms and entered the bathroom.
