Si Yubai was only nineteen years old this year, a true swimming prodigy.
If the girlfriend he found was nine years older than him, she would be twenty-eight.
A woman at that age wasn't considered old at all.
Old Master Si wasn't some narrow-minded person; as long as the person had a good character and an upright heart, the Si family could accept her.
As the saying goes, a wife three years older is like holding a gold brick.
If she was nine years older, he’d be holding three gold bricks.
Si Yubai had lacked motherly love growing up, so Old Master Si could understand why he’d want to find a woman who was older, more mature, and stable.
After comforting himself with these thoughts, Old Master Si barely managed to accept this reality.
Wen Yan had no idea that after Old Master Si heard her inner thoughts, his heart had undergone a massive internal struggle.
For this trip to the stadium to watch Si Yubai’s competition, every member of the Si family had turned up.
Wen Yan also saw Si Moyan, whom she hadn't seen for several days.
Si Moyan was wearing a black handmade shirt and suit trousers pressed to perfection. His jet-black hair was styled in a neat side part, and his profile was handsome yet cold. His thin lips beneath his high nose bridge were tightly pursed, exuding an aura of sharp, aloof detachment that warned others not to approach.
No matter how thick-skinned Wen Yan was, she had noticed his recent abnormal behavior.
It was as if he was deliberately distancing himself and giving her the cold shoulder.
She had racked her brain until her CPU was about to burn out, but she still couldn't figure out how she had offended him.
{Good heavens, I was drunk that night—I didn't do anything outrageous to Iceberg Si, did I? It seems like ever since that night, he hasn't really talked to me.}
{Stupid Dabai, it hasn't updated the gossip about what happened between me and Iceberg Si either.}
{I did return his underwear, didn't I? I was even extra generous and gave him thirty pairs!}
Wen Yan checked the system.
{He was wearing the underwear I bought him after his shower last night! Oh my god, he’s such a closet flirt. He wears the underwear I bought while acting all cold and aloof in front of me.}
Si Moyan’s handsome face darkened.
The rest of the Si family: It’s fine, we’re just barely holding back our laughter.
Old Master Si smacked the back of Si Moyan’s head. "Why are you keeping such a stiff face toward your wife? I know you're handsome, cool, and an 'iceberg,' but you won't get a wife's love acting like that."
Si Moyan, "..."
Old Master Si spoke with an air of majesty, "Except for the eldest son and Yan'an, everyone else cover your ears and close your eyes. Don't be third wheels interfering with their romance."
Si Moyan furrowed his sword-like brows. "Grandpa, that's enough."
Wen Yan leaned in close to Si Moyan, her beautiful eyes blinking. "Brother's hot-and-cold attitude truly leaves this little sister confused. I always thought I held a unique place in Brother's heart, but it seems it was merely my own wishful thinking."
"Pfft, hahaha—"
Si Jinyi couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a laugh like a snorting pig.
The others were laughing so hard that passing cars might have called the police.
The cold, stern lines of Si Moyan’s face showed signs of softening slightly.
His dark eyes locked onto Wen Yan’s bright and gorgeous little face, and two cold words escaped his thin lips: "Loose woman."
Wen Yan couldn't believe her ears.
{Does he need to donate his eyes? Where am I 'loose'? I've been minding my own business eating gossip lately. Aside from him, I haven't even touched the hands of any other young hotties.}
{I even lost six young male models; just thinking about it brings tears of bitterness!}
{And I can't even vent my anger at him when I'm wronged. I'm practically becoming a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle over here!}
"Hubby, you say I'm a loose woman—do you have proof?"
Just as Wen Yan finished speaking, her phone chimed with a WeChat notification.
Huo Yanzhi had sent her a photo.
In the photo, Huo Yanzhi was tearing open a white shirt, revealing his sexy collarbones and a glimpse of his chest muscles.
The photo was a promotional shot for Huo Yanzhi’s national tour.
When this photo hit the internet, it had caused countless fans to scream in frenzy.
Seeing the photo, Wen Yan coughed guiltily. "This is a promo photo for Huo Yanzhi’s tour. He's probably thanking me for helping him last time and wants to invite me to his concert."
Huo Yanzhi had also sent a very long message.
"Little Yan, I followed your advice and kept an eye on my aunt. As it turns out, she really was a problem. She even tried to seduce my dad, but luckily I caught her.
She was also involved in my kidnapping last time. My mom was so angry she fell ill, but she still supports reporting her to the police.
My dad has finally woken up too. It’s all thanks to your reminder, otherwise, our family might have been torn apart.
I’m having a concert in Yecheng next month and I sincerely invite you to come. If you don't show up, I'll be heartbroken.
Signed, your little fanboy: Yanzhi."
Wen Yan had seen the promotional video for Huo Yanzhi’s concert online before.
{Hahaha, I heard that at Huo Yanzhi’s concerts, there are explosive scenes where he rips off his shirt to show his abs while grinding his hips.}
Just as Wen Yan was about to reply to Huo Yanzhi, her phone was suddenly snatched away by a large, slender hand.
Before Wen Yan could react, Si Moyan had already blocked and deleted Huo Yanzhi’s WeChat account.
Wen Yan, "..."
Si Moyan glanced at Wen Yan, his eyes seemingly saying: The proof of you being a loose woman is right here.
Wen Yan, "..."
{Waaaah, I’m more wronged than Dou E! I really want to divorce this husband, what should I do?}
The Si family members now loved being around Wen Yan.
Her inner thoughts were sometimes so hilarious they made people want to double over with laughter.
Whatever work stress, academic pressure, or life struggles they had, those vanished the moment they were with her.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the stadium in grand fashion.
Old Master Si had already bought tickets for the whole family.
They were sitting in the VIP spectator section with an excellent view.
Before long, the men's 400-meter freestyle swimming competition began.
Seeing the tall, handsome young men walking out one after another, Wen Yan didn't even dare to blink.
{I finally understand why swimming tickets are more expensive than others. This truly is 'extra' value.}
Once the handsome guys came out, they stripped off their tracksuits, leaving only their swim trunks.
Those tight trunks, the chest and abdominal muscles without a hint of fat, and those incredibly long legs made one's blood boil.
{This is what a red-blooded woman should be looking at.}
{Su Peisheng, hurry and bring the Emperor's Phoenix Carriage for me!}
Old Master Si coughed and whispered to Si Moyan, "If your wife likes looking at that, just let her look at you when you get home. Why do you always keep yourself wrapped up so tight?"
"A couple's feelings need to be nurtured. As a man, can't you take the initiative to sacrifice a little sex appeal?"
Si Moyan, "..."
What was the point of him sacrificing anything?
Her ambition was the vast ocean, and he was merely one of the fish in her sea.
The announcer was about to introduce the eighth athlete. Old Master Si lightly patted Wen Yan’s arm. "Yan, your fifth brother-in-law is about to come out."
Wen Yan rubbed her nose and gave an awkward but polite smile. "I know."
Soon, the eighth athlete appeared.
But the person who walked out wasn't Si Yubai at all.
The Si family was stunned.
How could Si Yubai be missing from such an important competition?
Furthermore, the 400-meter was his specialty; there was no way he would miss it!
At that moment, Wen Yan’s inner voice rang out—
