Chapter 1879: I Want to Break Up with Him!

Wen Xinya knew she was being slightly unreasonable, but Si Yiyan was the one who had gone behind her back and hired such a gorgeous woman to be his secretary. It was his own fault for inviting such trouble.

More importantly, this secretary actually dared to trick her in such a bold manner. Who was the one being unreasonable now?

Generally, most bosses would tell their new secretaries about their job requirements, things to avoid, as well as who and what should be considered a top priority.

If An Feiya knew Wen Xinya was Si Yiyan’s fiancé, there was no way she would dare to trick her like that.

It was obvious Si Yiyan didn’t tell An Feiya of Wen Xinya’s status.

Si Yiyan was such a meticulous person that it was impossible he could have forgotten to. He must have neglected to tell An Feiya on purpose.

What the hell did he mean by that?

Was he tired of her after 10 long years together?

Explain?

What was there to explain?

Gu Yuexi had an IQ of over 200, but he was at a complete loss at what to do. He could only stare dumbly after sis-in-law’s departing profile.

He didn’t understand why sis-in-law was so angry.

But he had been with Ninth Young Master for so many years that he possessed a very well-honed set of instincts toward danger.

He could feel that if he allowed sis-in-law to leave now, he would be in deep trouble later on. As a result, he had already automatically reached out to block sis-in-law from leaving.

“Sis-in-law, you have come at an opportune time. Ninth Young Master has been so busy lately that he has not taken time for lunch for several days now. You need to persuade him to stop working so hard and to take care of his health.”

Gu Yuehan had already secretly messaged Ninth Young Master. He was filled with anxiety but maintained his cool, composed expression. He was trying to sound like he was just making casual conversation with Wen Xinya, and that he had not noticed her chilly countenance.

What did sis-in-law regard with the utmost importance?

Of course it was Ninth Young Master’s health.

As busy as she was, she never forgot to remind him to eat during mealtimes. Whenever she could squeeze out some time, she would even personally brew some tonics for his health.

He was certain his words would attract her attention.

As expected, Wen Xinya did pause when she heard Gu Yuehan’s words. She recalled that she had been reminding him to take a break and eat during lunchtime every day, but it seemed like he had completely ignored her advice. He had indeed had a change of heart toward her.

Rage bubbled up in Wen Xinya’s heart and she seethed. “Just let him starve to death!”

“Ummm…”

Gu Yuehan had no idea what he had said that made sis-in-law so angry, but he realized he had put his foot in his mouth. He considered his dilemma for a moment before deciding that stopping sis-in-law from leaving was still the most vital task for now. “Ninth Young Master has been so busy the entire day, he barely had time to breathe. Apart from work, he has no time for anything else at all.”

Sis-in-law had always been a very reasonable person and was very understanding toward Ninth Young Master. By saying those above words, sis-in-law would be sure to forgive Ninth Young Master.

Wen Xinya was already pissed beyond reason. “So in his eyes, work is more important than me!”

Although Wen Xinya was a bit stubborn, she had never been the sort to behave so unreasonably. But the thought of how she had just waited for him for an hour and a half in vain and ended up being played for a fool by his gorgeous secretary—she was filled with indignant rage.

She had been extremely busy this period. To be able to spend more time with him, she had racked her brains to find ways to delegate her work.

But in his eyes, work was still more important than her.

It was too much.

“Sis-in-law, is there some misunderstanding between you and Ninth Young Master?”

A tiny crack finally appeared on Gu Yuehan’s impassive pokerface. He seldom interacted with women and had no idea how to handle an angry woman’s lack of logic and reason.

So this kind-hearted and understanding sis-in-law could also be so unreasonable and obstinate when she was angry.

Wen Xinya replied in a frosty voice, “Misunderstanding? I doubt so!”

Si Yiyan went behind her back and hired such a gorgeous babe to be his secretary. Could that be a misunderstanding?

That secretary obviously had ulterior motives toward Si Yiyan. Being the smart guy that he was, how could it be that Si Yiyan didn’t realize it? What misunderstanding was there?

That secretary tricked her as she believed she would have Si Yiyan’s support. It was an undeniable fact.

This was all Si Yiyan’s fault.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. “All men are the same. They are fickle-minded and unfaithful. I have finally seen his true colors today.”

Wen Xinya was extremely unhappy. She knew she was behaving a bit too impulsively, but she just felt so aggrieved. She had been working so hard to find a balance between work and life, in hopes of managing their relationship better and building a family with him. But Si Yiyan had gone behind her back and hired such a beautiful secretary.

Didn’t he know that with the daily, close interaction for work, it was very easy for a boss and his secretary to develop feelings for each other?

And she was such gorgeous secretary that there was no way Wen Xinya believed Si Siyan never harbored a single wayward thought.

Gu Yuehan was utterly perplexed. “Sis-in-law, you… must have misunderstood Ninth Young Master…”

Everyone knew what a wonderful relationship Ninth Young Master and sis-in-law had. In fact, that couple often flaunted their romance in the faces of others.

They might have had the occasional disagreement, but this was the first time Gu Yuehan witnessed such a major falling out.

At this point, Gu Yuehan was nearly breaking down in anxiety. Why was Ninth Young Master still not here? Sis-in-law would leave soon if he didn’t arrive in time.

Wen Xinya interrupted him. “Tell him that I want to cancel our engagement. I have no need for such an unfaithful man like him.”

Wen Xinya herself was stunned the moment she uttered those words.

She kind of regretted her impulsive proclamation, and a dull ache spread through her heart.

She was no fool. Gu Yuehan was usually such an aloof and distant guy, the fact that he had spoken so much to her was to try and delay her departure. Hence, she was also playing along to his little skit—but even now, Si Yiyan had not appeared.

She was very sure Gu Yuehan would have secretly informed Si Siyan of her arrival.

The rational side of her told her to trust Si Yiyan and to trust in their 10-year relationship. But the emotional side of her was still filled with suspicion, especially when faced with the fact that Si Yiyan had yet to appear. Her suspicion just kept growing until she was totally unable to control her disappointment and anxiety.

“Gu Yuehan, you can leave first. I’m on my personal time now, no one is to bother me for any reason.” Si Yiyan turned a placid gaze toward Wen Xinya, his completely calm expression betraying neither joy nor distress.
