Si Lijue looked down to check on Su Niannian and saw her staring blankly at him. Without thinking, he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
He was genuinely worried that the sudden braking might have startled her.
Su Niannian's mind was pulled back to reality by the man's voice in front of her. Seeing his concerned eyes, she shook her head with red eyes, "No...it's nothing." Then, she hurriedly fled from his embrace.
Si Lijue scanned her from head to toe again and found no injuries, finally putting his mind at ease.
He looked at her now sitting up straight, feeling an emptiness in his arms, and a sense of loss welled up inside him, without even realizing it himself.
He asked softly, "Are you seated? We're going home now."
go home?
Not going back to the hotel?
Does that mean she's about to see her best friend and her precious little darling? She desperately needs to tell Si Lili about her fears and grievances, and even more so, she needs to hold her son and get a good night's sleep.
"Okay!" A look of joy flashed in Su Niannian's eyes as she nodded vigorously and readily agreed.
Si Lijue started the car engine and drove the car steadily and slowly, as if afraid of frightening the people in the car again.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Niannian was worried that her disheveled appearance would frighten Xibao.
She doesn't even need to look in a mirror to guess what she looks like now.
She really thought she was going to die, and she cried loudly in fear, not caring about her appearance at all. Her eyes must be red and swollen.
If Xibao and Silili saw this, they would definitely interrogate her about the reason. If the two of them found out, they would laugh at her.
Moreover, she herself felt a little embarrassed to talk about it.
She tried her best to calm herself down throughout the journey.
Unexpectedly, the car did not head towards the Si family's old residence, but instead drove to the luxurious villa that Si Lijue had purchased at great expense.
This villa is located in the Higashiyama Villa District of Kyoto. It is the largest villa in this affluent area where land is extremely valuable, with a garden area of more than 3,000 square meters and a total area of more than 5,000 square meters.
The garden features artificial hills and streams, pavilions, bridges and corridors, as well as a small pond where many rare and valuable fish are kept.
The entire Dongshan Villa area boasts an exceptionally beautiful environment, nestled against mountains and beside water, with lush greenery providing ample shade. Living here long-term is a truly refreshing experience.
Si Lijue parked the car steadily in the Supreme Villa.
A butler in his sixties, accompanied by a dozen servants, walked toward Si Lijue's car.
After Si Lijue got out of the car, everyone bowed in greeting.
Butler Uncle Zhao spoke up: "Young Master, you're back?"
"Hmm!" Si Lijue responded lightly, walked to the passenger seat, opened the car door, and said softly to Su Niannian, who was looking bewildered inside, "Get out of the car, we're home."
Su Niannian sat in the car, looking around at the brightly lit, magnificent villa in front of her, and at the many people surrounding the car. She was already stunned.
She only regained her composure from shock when Si Lijue asked her to get out of the car.
She unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the passenger seat, and looked around at the surroundings and people with suspicion; everything seemed so unfamiliar.
When Butler Zhao saw Su Niannian get out of the car, he asked Si Lijue curiously, "Young Master, who is this?"
This was the first time his eldest son had brought a woman home. As the steward of the mansion, he needed to figure out her importance in the young master's heart so that he could report to the master and the old lady.
The old lady and the old man are desperate to have a grandson.
It seems there's finally hope for my eldest grandson!
Si Lijue: "She is the young mistress."
Young mistress?
Did he hear that right? His young master is thinking of ending his single life and getting married and having children?
That's wonderful! It seems the ancestors of the Si family have shown their divine intervention; the young master, this ancient iron tree, is finally going to bloom!
He needs to find the time to tell the master and mistress this good news!
If it weren't for the late hour and the uncertainty of where the old lady and master were, the butler would have loved to call and share the good news immediately.
Butler Zhao and the servants around him shouted in unison, "Welcome home, young mistress!"
Startled by their enthusiasm, Su Niannian took a step back and hid behind Si Lijue, thanking them shyly, "Thank you!"
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go inside!" Si Lijue stepped in to smooth things over when he saw that Su Niannian was a little embarrassed.
Su Niannian asked Si Lijue, puzzled, "Where is this? It doesn't look like the old house! Where is Xibao?"
Si Lijue patiently explained to him: "This is our wedding room, and we will live here permanently from now on."
You weren't feeling well today, and I was worried it might frighten Xibao, so I brought you here first. I'll take you back to the old house to pick him up tomorrow.
After saying that, he took her hand and led her into the villa.
Wedding room?
Will this be their home from now on?
Isn't it a bit too extravagant for the three of them to live in such a large property and hire so many servants?
Si Lijue is truly as extravagant as ever! It's a pity that his Xibao will only inherit a small amount of money.
Sigh! Since his father is unreliable, all she can do is rely on her, his mother, to save up some money for the child.
However, on second thought, she realized that being able to live here with her son for a year, and for free, wasn't so bad.
"Okay! Thank you!"
Su Niannian was also afraid that her current ghostly appearance would frighten her son, and she was very grateful for Si Lijue's thoughtfulness.
"Then thank you!"
Si Lijue saw that she kept thanking him, and that stopping her from doing so wouldn't work, so he had no choice but to let her be.
......
Su Niannian had just thought that Si Lijue seemed to have become more approachable, but she didn't expect that in less than a minute, he would revert to his original self.
Indeed, she couldn't have any hope for this scoundrel!
Si Lijue seemed to be able to sense what she was thinking, and he turned his head to look at her sharply, "Are you cursing me in your heart?"
"How could that be? I didn't!" Su Niannian guiltily looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.
"You better not have. If I find out you've insulted me, I won't let you off easily, not even in your heart!"
Si Lijue's tone was as domineering as ever, and his words carried a strong warning.
You can control everything, but what I think in my heart?
Besides, even if I'm cursing you in my heart, you won't know.
What a domineering and shameless scoundrel!
Su Niannian was indignant and couldn't help but curse again, but on the surface she pretended to be respectful and carefully expressed her opinion.
"I know, Brother Si... please rest assured, I will definitely not scold you. You have been my client for the past year, and offending you will not do me any good. I know all that."
She originally wanted to call him President Si, but when she saw Si Lijue's sharp eyes sweep over her, the words stuck in her throat and she changed them to "Big Brother".
"Hmm! It's good that you know your place!" Si Lijue was quite satisfied with her pragmatism. He took her hand and walked into the room with her side by side.
