Chapter 624: Si Yiyan, You’re Great!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The bright rays of the moon shone through the thin glass windows and into the house, and the crisp sounds of toads croaking in the darkness of the night filled the air. Wen Xinya rested her head on Si Yiyan’s chest and the pain in her abdomen made it impossible to sleep. However, she dared not move an inch at all because she was afraid that she would disturb Si Yiyan. Hence, she remained still for a prolonged period of time, causing her body to stiffen uncomfortably.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Si Yiyan asked, holding her waist and easing her into a comfortable position.

She had previously had a good sleep. However, her body began to stiffen all of a sudden at midnight and she was too afraid to move.

Feeling much more comfortable, Wen Xinya said in a raspy and feeble voice, “I’m alright.”

Si Yiyan could tell that her voice was a little nasal. He turned over and switched on the lights beside the bed.

The lights were lit up all of a sudden, causing her eyes to feel a little uncomfortable. Her temples began throbbing and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

Si Yiyan finally saw that her face had turned extremely pale. “You look so awful. Yet, you still say that you’re alright!”

He then touched her hand to see that it was cold and clammy. He instantly tensed up and became much more nervous.

Wen Xinya pressed both hands on her stomach and stared at him pitifully like an injured animal. “My stomach feels terrible.”

Menstrual cramps were common amongst women and Wen Xinya was no exception either. When she was leading a wandering life, she would be in excruciating pain whenever she got her period and no medicine could relieve her menstrual cramps at all.

Her condition had improved greatly ever since she returned to the Wen Family, because of the help from Old Mr. Du and the herbal baths that she had been taking. However, she was a premature baby and her health was weak, to begin with.

Si Yiyan instantly understood what she meant. He said, “Lie down for a while. I’ll get you some medicine.”

He knew quite a fair bit about her menstrual cramps and he was also aware of the pain that came with them. He thought that her condition had significantly improved after the herbal baths and Old Mr. Du’s medications. Yet, she was not completely in the pink of health yet. It seemed... he still had to help her nourish her body with more medicinal herbs.

Wen Xinya watched as Si Yiyan hurriedly put on his clothes and left the room.

Her heart was filled with warmth.

For the past few years, she had been suffering alone in silence. Yet, she now had a man to dote on her.

Wen Xinya slipped into a daze and felt extremely chilly.

Soon, Si Yiyan returned with a cup of hot chocolate. “Drink some hot chocolate while it’s still hot. Warm your stomach up.”

The common cause of menstrual cramps was poor blood circulation and hot chocolate would aid in improving blood circulation.

Wen Xinya exclaimed coquettishly, “I feel terrible and I don’t want to move. Feed me!”

Si Yiyan stared at her pale face which made her look weak and pitiful. He agreed. “Sure!”

Si Yiyan continued to feed her, spoon by spoon. Wen Xinya enjoyed the tastes of the sweet and fragrant hot chocolate bursting in her mouth. It then moved down her throat smoothly. She felt as if Si Yiyan was caressing her heart.

Soon, she finished the piping hot cup of hot chocolate which warmed her gut and made her feel much more comfortable.

“Lie down for a while. I’ll go out to get you some medicine,” Si Yiyan said. He pulled the duvet across her body and exited the room again.

He then grabbed his mobile phone and called Wan Niang.

At this moment, Wan Niang, who was sound asleep, was jolted from her deep slumber by the loud and sudden ringing of her mobile phone. She grabbed the clock to see that it was already two past midnight.

Who’s calling at such an unearthly hour?

She picked up the call.

Si Yiyan asked eagerly, “Wan Niang, do you have any solutions for relieving period cramps? Do they have to be relieved with medication or injections?”

In a daze, Wan Niang thought that she had heard him wrong. She suddenly found it hilarious that he had made such a request in the middle of the night.

Realizing that she was not saying anything, Si Yiyan continued, “Wen Xinya is having menstrual cramps. She seems to be in terrible pain. Her body is cold...”

Wan Niang interrupted. “Don’t worry, menstrual cramps are common amongst women. Cook her a bowl of ginger and brown sugar soup. Let it warm her up and she’ll be fine after an abdomen massage!”

Before Wan Niang could even react, Si Yiyan thanked her and hung up the phone.

She guessed that he was definitely rushing to cook some ginger and brown sugar soup for Wen Xinya.

She shook her head.

Like father, like son.

****

Wen Xinya clutched the duvet tightly and leaned against the headboard of the bed.

Shortly after, Si Yiyan returned with a large bowl.

Smelling the ginger soup from afar, she was filled with a warm and fuzzy feeling at the thought of the various times that Si Yiyan had brewed her ginger soup.

Si Yiyan handed her the bowl and said, “Wan Niang told me that ginger soup will relieve cramps.”

Wen Xinya smiled feebly and said, “Actually, it doesn’t hurt that badly.”

Si Yiyan said with a frown, “Drink it while it’s still hot.”

Wen Xinya obediently scooped the ginger soup and drank it spoonful by spoonful.

After finishing the entire bowl of ginger soup, Wen Xinya broke out into a sweat and felt a huge relief as the spicy and warm liquid alleviated her pain.

Si Yiyan grabbed the bowl and asked, “How is it? Do you feel better?”

Wen Xinya answered with a nod, “I feel much better!”

Si Yiyan placed the bowl aside and climbed onto the bed, after which he lifted her clothes.

Wen Xinya grew flustered and hurriedly stopped him. “What are you doing!?!”

Si Yiyan answered, “I’m going to help you rub your tummy. You’ll feel much better.”

Wen Xinya then let go of his hand, only to find that it was warm and moist. After Si Yiyan placed his hand on her tummy, she felt like her pain had faded, though she was unsure if she was just imagining things.

Wen Xinya began to feel a little sleepy and exclaimed, “Si Yiyan, you’re so good to me!”

Women were the weakest during their periods. Be in the past or present lifetime, she had never had anyone shower her with so much care and concern before. Neither had she ever... found that periods were much less terrifying than she had thought.

Noticing that her breathing had become more rhythmic, Si Yiyan smiled, well aware that she had already fallen asleep.

However, he was afraid that she would be jolted awake by the pain again. Hence, he slowed down but did not stop.

Under the dim yellow lights, she looked pretty even while asleep. Blood began to flow to her face again, making her less pale than before.

It was truly a blissful thing to hold a ravishing beauty in one’s embrace.

Yet, he was banished to hell and became sexually frustrated because of the annoying period.

Chapter 625: Xia Ruya’s Coming-Of-Age Ceremony

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ruya’s coming-of-age ceremony was held three days after Wen Xinya’s.

The venue of Xia Ruya’s coming-of-age ceremony was a ballroom in Shangri-La. It was extremely lavish as well because the Wen Family was in charge of organizing it.

Due to the fact that Xia Ruya was a member of the Zhishan Club, the invited guests were mostly elite businessmen and socialites of the upper-class society.

Xia Ruya’s coming-of-age ceremony paled in comparison to Wen Xinya’s grand and lavish one. Everyone would definitely compare the two because of the feud between them. No matter how extravagant Xia Ruya’s coming-of-age ceremony was, it couldn’t hide the fact that everyone was just gloating.

Xia Ruya put on a Korean style hairpin in her hair as well as a pink diamond-embellished tiara, accompanied with a pink tutu dress on which there were also lots of diamonds. She wore a pair of white calf-length boots and a set of pink jewelry, appearing youthful and beautiful.

Her outfit and accessories could not compare to Wen Xinya’s at all and hence, she had no choice but to do her best and select a different style, in hopes of giving others a fresh look.

Xia Ruxue walked towards Xia Ruya and looked at her in envy. “Ruya, you’re so beautiful. You’ll definitely become the center of attention tonight.”

Previously, Xia Ruxue had merely invited some close friends and family friends to her coming-of-age ceremony. Although it was not poorly organized, it was nowhere as lavish or extravagant as Xia Ruya’s. She did not attend Wen Xinya’s coming-of-age ceremony. However, she knew that it must have been opulent and beyond her imagination, especially since the Wen Family was on a whole different level. Hence, she was certain that Xia Ruya’s coming-of-age ceremony would be similar.

Xia Ruyae looked at her smilingly and asked, “Ruxue, what’s the matter?”

Her coming-of-age ceremony was destined to be inferior to Wen Xinya’s. How was she supposed to be the center of attention? Although Xia Ruya had indeed considered canceling her coming-of-age ceremony, she could not afford to embarrass herself. She would rather die in glory than continue living pathetically.

Xia Ruxue hurriedly said, “I almost forgot to tell you. Grandpa and Father are looking for you.”

A sullen expression formed on Xia Ruya’s face.

The Xia Family had agreed to help Xia Ruya organize her coming-of-age ceremony, only because she was a member of the Zhishan Club, and they wanted to use her connections to blend in with the upper-class society. Not to mention, the Wen Family had also decided to help her. The Xia Family would definitely not give up such a chance.

She scanned her surroundings in the banquet hall and finally glanced at Old Mr. Xia and Xia Haolin. Ever since the guests entered, the two had been walking around the banquet hall and socializing with the wealthy and prestigious and influential members of the upper-class society.

Xia Ruya was extremely embarrassed by their disgraceful and petty behavior, and she felt that they were mocking her in secret.

Chen Linfang glared at Xia Ruya and rebuked. “Xia Ruya, you’ve got some guts now, don’t you!?! Your father and grandfather asked to see you and yet, you just ignored their request. Listen up... the Xia Family is the reason that you can hold such a lavish coming-of-age ceremony. The Xia Family gave you the glory that you’re enjoying now. We’ve spent so much money on this coming-of-age ceremony. You... should learn to be grateful.”

Xia Ruya’s face turned hot and she instinctively looked at her grandfather and father, only to realize that they had sullen expressions on their faces and were looking at her in disdain. Clearly, Chen Linfang’s words had struck a sour note within them.

She got a grip on her emotions and exclaimed, “Grandpa, Father, I’m sorry! I was just busy chatting with my close friends. What is it that you’re looking for me for?”

Chen Linfang humphed coldly.

Old Mr. Xia questioned sternly, “I heard that you’ve moved out of the Wen Family. What’s going on?”

He had only found out about Xia Ruya moving out of the Wen Family after hearing about it from someone else. He was initially thrilled to hear that Xia Ruya had moved in with the Wen Family for a long stay, for it was proof that the Wen Family valued her greatly. Yet, she moved out.

Chen Linfang sneered. “Father, is there still a need to ask? She moved out of the Wen Family right after Miss Wen’s coming-of-age ceremony. She was clearly chased out by them! What a joke... she actually made such a big deal out of herself and treated herself as the real heiress of the Wen Family. Even I can’t tolerate how shameless she is, let alone Miss Wen. She doesn’t know her place at all.”

Ever since Xia Ruya returned to the Xia Family, Chen Linfang could tell that Xia Ruya was a scheming and overtly ambitious person who aimed higher than she could reach.

Her words were like daggers piercing through Xia Ruya’s heart. She turned pale and licked her cracked lips. “Mother, you’re mistaken. Moving out of the Wen Family home was my own decision. Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen will be attending my coming-of-age ceremony too.”

Chen Linfang scoffed and ignored her.

Appearing less angry than before, Xia Haolin said, “In that case, we won’t ask too much about it. You’re the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family. It’s only right that you’re close to them. Don’t make any blunders.”

The fact that the Wen Family will be attending the coming-of-age ceremony means that there aren’t any major problems, he thought.

His words sounded like a warning, which made Xia Ruya turn pale. “Got it, Father.”

Realizing that there was a sudden tension in the air, Old Mr. Xia quickly tried to give everyone an out. He said, “The ceremony is about to begin soon. We’re in the midst of preparations for transitioning to new malls. Take this opportunity to introduce your father to the tycoons and prestigious figures of the upper-class society and introduce your stepmother to the wealthy ladies and socialites too. Don’t be so selfish as to only care about yourself. Take your sister Ruxue along with you when you’re socializing. Young people definitely have a lot in common to talk about.”

The Xia Family had spent a large sum of money on Xia Ruya’s coming-of-age ceremony, partly to placate Xia Ruya because of the displeasure she felt about them keeping mum during her scandal. Now that she had become a member of the Zhishan Club, they felt that her status could bring them lots of benefits. Besides... the Xia Family was in the midst of transitioning to the new malls and they felt that they could improve their reputation by getting associated with the upper-class society.

Xia Ruya was slightly stunned. Although she knew that they would definitely make use of her to blend into the upper-class society, she did not expect them to be so thick-skinned as to make such a request.

Extremely displeased with her attitude, Chen Linfang rebuked. “What’s wrong? Do you find such a small request to be difficult? Xia Ruya... don’t think that you can throw your weight around just because you’re the adopted daughter of the Wen Family. You’re not the rightful heiress, anyway. The Xia Family is the only family that you can rely on. If we’re affected, you’ll be affected as well.”

Xia Ruya was at a loss for words. Hanging her head low, she hid the resentment in her eyes and exclaimed, “Mother, I understand!”

Old Mr. Xia and Xia Haolin nodded in satisfaction.
