Chapter 1898 - Boss Is Even More Dangerous Than Gu Yuexi

Actually, Wen Xinya’s real motive of looking for Xu Zhenyu was for the Xu Family behind him. Once he agreed to cooperate, the Xu Family would be tied to Ninth Si’s chariot. This wasn’t a minor matter that he could decide—he needed to discuss with Grandpa before deciding.

This outcome wasn’t out of her expectations. Wen Xinya smiled and said, "No problem. You can study the information that I sent you first."

Although she could represent Si Yiyan, she was not him, after all.

Strictly speaking, she only held two chips in her hands—Wen Corporation and Lanxin Company. Perhaps to outsiders, she was already standing at the top of the pyramid. However, to Xu Zhenyu, there were too few chips in her hands and she wasn’t fit to decide the cooperation matters.

Xu Zhenyu nodded. "Let’s arrange a time for me and Ninth Si to meet!"

At this point, Xu Zhenyu was feeling heavy-hearted. He couldn’t wait to immediately exterminate the group that was constantly spying on and threatening the country and people that he was defending in the dark.

Hence, no matter what, he needed to discuss this matter with Ninth Si.

"He left China to attend to some matters and may only be back after a while."

With the mention of Si Yiyan, Wen Xinya’s mood became gloomy uncontrollably.

Si Yiyan had already been to Russia for two days. During that time, besides receiving two messages from him and an automated reminder of a missed call due to her phone’s battery going flat, there had been nothing else from him.

She knew that he was busy with work.

Going to Russia was akin to going to war. He needed to deal not only with the cunning and unpredictable Korean-Chinese Alliance but also with the menacing Russian army, as well as the wealthy families which were like wolves and tigers.

He needed to be responsible for the life and death of the entire Lucifer, the lives of his comrades who had been to war and experienced life and death with him over the years.

He was the esteemed Rex of Lucifer, respected by everyone. He couldn’t merely indulge in matters of the heart.

She kept persuading herself to be understanding towards Si Yiyan.

However, the negative feelings which arose within her made her feel vexed and uncontrollably feel resentful towards him. She felt like she seemingly turned into an aggrieved wife who was stuck at home—sensitive, suspicious, imagining things, and uncontrollable.

Many a time, she retrieved her phone and wanted to call Si Yiyan.

However, every time she thought about him leaving without bidding goodbye, she would feel petty and not want to bother with him.

She knew that this was wrong.

However, she just couldn’t control her actions.

She felt that she had already become totally unlike herself.

Xu Zhenyu saw that she didn’t look too good and instinctively asked, "What’s the matter?"

He was slightly surprised that Ninth Si went overseas and Xinya’s slightly gloomy emotions also puzzled him.

Wen Xinya shook her head and said, "Nothing much, probably too tired at work recently!"

She felt that the immense pressure at work recently and her unwell body must have caused her to become so unreasonable.

Xu Zhenyu looked at Wen Xinya and suddenly reached out and pinched her face gently.

Wen Xinya scrunched up her face and stared at him. "What are you doing?"

Xu Zhenyu’s gaze sized her up carefully before he said after half a second, "You grew thinner!"

They hadn’t met for a while and he suddenly felt that she had grown thinner by quite a bit—her chin was sharp, there wasn’t much flesh on her cheeks, and although she had light makeup on, it couldn’t disguise her fragility and fatigue.

He couldn’t help but feel his heart ache slightly.

Wen Xinya patted her face lightly. "Is that so? How come I don’t feel it?"

For the past few days, her appetite had indeed been poor and she was also more easily tired. As she knew that she suffered from yin deficiency and was overworked, she didn’t quite take it to heart except for changing her diet to more yin-nourishing food.

Xu Zhenyu said, "Previously, you were already skinny. Now, you’re so thin that even a gust of wind can blow you away. Don’t work so hard in the future and remember to rest—just now, when I just entered the Wen Corporation, I’ve already heard someone call you Ms. Hardworking."

As he was coming up just now, he had heard someone call her that and felt that amused, wanting to tease her with it later.

However, seeing that she had become so skinny, his heart only ached badly.

Wen Xinya pinched her cheeks slightly, pouted her lips, and agreed with his words.

The car pulled over slowly at the entrance of the Elegance Room. Si Yiyan got off first, followed closely by Yueze and Xu Xianghu.

Xu Xianghu nudged Yueze gently and whispered, "Do you think that there seems to be something wrong with our Boss ever since coming to Russia?"

He felt slightly puzzled. Boss was obviously the same. However, for some reason, every time he got close to him, the nerves all over his body would stiffen and send him dangerous signals incessantly.

He felt that Boss was engulfed in a hazy fog all over.

However, Yueze didn’t think so and said casually, "Isn’t he the same? What’s wrong?"

Their Boss had always been mild and harsh as if he was an immortal who didn’t take to worldly matters. Only when he was before Sis-in-law did something called warmth appeared on him.

Xu Xianghu shook his head. "I’m not sure either and can’t quite explain. Anyway, I feel that..." He swallowed his saliva and said to Yueze in a softer and deeper voice, "Boss is very hot-tempered."

He didn’t know how to explain it either.

However, he just felt this way.

Yueze said casually, "It’s normal that you feel this way." He patted Xu Xianghu’s shoulder and made a funny face at him. "Unsatisfied men are all hot-tempered."

Sis-in-law wasn’t around and Ninth Young Master had nowhere to vent his heat—isn’t it normal to be hot-tempered?

Xu Xianghu shook his head and said instinctively, "No... I just feel that Boss is even more dangerous than Gu Yuexi. It feels like... it has something to do with Sis-in-law."

He pulled at his hair, at a loss of how to express that feeling.

Yueze stopped his joking attitude and looked at Xu Xianghu meaningfully. Although this chap, Xu Xianghu, was a joker, his acute and sensitive instinct had never been wrong—it had even saved their lives a few times when they worked together on missions.

Thus, Xu Xianghu’s instinct wasn’t just his imagination.

Xu Xianghu glared back at him. "Why are you looking at me like this?"

With hazy eyes, Yueze cautioned as a friend who’d braved life and death together. "For the time being, let’s better be more careful!"

He thought about An Feiya.

Gu Yuexi had tried means and ways to send An Feiya to Ninth Young Master to bring vexation to him. Afterward, An Feiya was very quickly sent back to Italy and Gu Yuexi had suffered under Ninth Young Master, much to their pleasure.

Only Ninth Young Master could suppress the beastly Gu Yuexi.

However, it now seemed like Gu Yuexi’s action was effective.

A beastly Gu Yuexi was already tough for them to handle. With the addition of an evil Boss, how could they survive?
