Si Yubai glanced toward the door of the tattoo parlor.
A bright and charming woman stood there, her fingers propping up her chin, looking as though she was deeply immersed in watching some drama unfold.
He clearly hadn't seen her open her mouth just now.
But why could he hear her voice?
It must be his own hallucination!
[This little brother probably never dreamed that the most painful lesson in his life would be taught by his unguarded girlfriend.]
[So miserable. If I warn him now, would he even believe me?]
Wen Yan lifted her long eyelashes and looked into the shop, only to suddenly realize that Si Yubai was glaring at her with a displeased expression.
The words of warning that had reached her lips were forcefully swallowed back down.
The rest of the Si family had at least returned to the Si residence and met her after she and Iceberg Si got their marriage certificate.
But Si Yubai had never even gone back once.
The two of them were like strangers right now. If she brought up that his girlfriend wanted him dead, he would think she was crazy, right?
He might even call the police to arrest her!
The Si family members were already completely dumbfounded.
They racked their brains but couldn't figure it out: why did Luo Nianchu want Si Yubai's life?
Murder is illegal; didn't she know that?
Regardless, the gossip from Wen Yan's system wouldn't be wrong.
If they continued to let Si Yubai date Luo Nianchu, his life would very likely be in danger.
Old Master Si shot a glance at Si Moyan. Eldest, get the fifth brother to come home.
Si Moyan pressed his thin lips tightly together and said in a cold, deep voice, Fifth brother, we already know about you being suspended from the swim team. I will investigate this thoroughly and clear your name. For now, come home with us!
Si Yubai's brows furrowed deeply. I'm not going back!
As soon as Si Yubai finished speaking, Si Moyan struck the back of his neck with a swift chop.
Si Yubai's vision went black, and he fainted.
Si Moyan and Si Jingyi worked together to carry him into the car.
Big brother, aren't you being a bit too rough with Fifth Brother? Si Youyou asked with some concern.
Si Moyan's jawline tightened. If I wasn't rough, would he have come back with us?
Si Yubai was currently in his rebellious phase, and having just tasted the sweetness of first love, it had definitely gone to his head. He wouldn't be able to leave that woman.
When he was little, Si Yubai had been abused by a nanny, so the Si family had protected him very well ever since.
As a result, his world was black and white; he didn't know there were gray areas.
Upon arriving at the Si residence, the notification sound of Si Yubai's phone rang.
Luo Nianchu had sent him a WeChat message.
Baibai, did you really go get a tattoo? If you did, I'll get your name tattooed on me when I'm discharged from the hospital.
Baibai, I'm eating the fruit you peeled for me. It's so sweet, just like your smile.
Baibai, my greatest fortune in this life is meeting you. I hold nothing back from you. If you encounter anything unhappy, you must share it with me right away.
Finally, Luo Nianchu also sent a selfie.
Luo Nianchu had a rather pure and innocent look. Acute gastroenteritis made her face slightly pale. When she took the selfie facing the camera, her eyes were teary and sparkling, and the corners of her lips were slightly turned up, like a lone orchid in an empty valley. To a naive boy, this was highly attractive.
With her piercing gaze, Wen Yan could tell at a glance that Luo Nianchu was wearing a no-makeup makeup look.
[Luo Nianchu's cutesy voice sounds really nice. I finally understand why I can't catch a little puppy boy—it's because I have a pincers voice.]
Si Yubai happened to wake up right then. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard Wen Yan's inner voice and saw the Si family gathered around, looking at his WeChat messages.
Si Yubai's handsome face suddenly darkened.
He snatched his phone back, glaring at them like an angry little beast. Don't peek at my phone.
After saying that, he glared at Wen Yan. Sister Nianchu isn't malicious and ruthless like you. She's with me purely because she likes me!
Si Moyan narrowed his dark eyes dangerously. Is that how you speak to your sister-in-law?
Si Jingyi also stepped forward. Show some respect to your sister-in-law!
Si Yanli, Si Luochen, and Si Youyou also nodded in agreement.
I'm waving the flag for my sister-in-law! Let's see who dares to make an enemy of her! Si Jingyi blocked the way, protecting Wen Yan behind him.
Deep doubt and confusion flashed through Si Yubai's eyes.
Even though he hadn't gone home when his oldest brother and Wen Yan got their marriage certificate, he had heard all about Wen Yan's deeds.
Her heart belonged to Gu Beichen. For Gu Beichen, she had stolen the Si family's secrets, causing the company to lose tens of millions.
She had cuckolded his oldest brother, yet his brother still stood up to defend her?
Not just his oldest brother, but his second, third, and fourth brothers, as well as his little sister, were all protecting her.
Had she cast some sort of spell on them?
Si Yubai was never a man of many words. He didn't want to say anything more, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
Old Master Si had long since arranged for bodyguards to guard the main entrance.
They absolutely would not let Si Yubai take half a step out of the Si residence.
Grandpa, Big Brother, what is the meaning of this?
Old Master Si said with a majestic expression, You can only leave after we've thoroughly investigated your girlfriend's identity.
Si Yubai's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly into fists. No one can separate me and Sister Nianchu!
Si Yubai had already understood Luo Nianchu's identity long ago.
She came from a poor family deep in the mountains. Even though she only went to high school, she never belittled herself.
She had earned a Michelin chef certification. She was clever, deft, gentle, and kind. Being with her made him feel a long-lost sense of warmth and security.
She would never force him to do anything like his family did, nor would she ignore his feelings. She was like a mother and an older sister, soothing his heart.
It wasn't that Luo Nianchu couldn't leave him; it was that he couldn't leave her.
Even if you beat me to death, I will still be with Sister Nianchu.
Seeing the tension between Si Yubai and the Si family, Wen Yan couldn't help but click her tongue.
[Could it be that the Si family has already found out that Luo Nianchu's motives for approaching Si Yubai are impure?]
[But even if they found out, Luo Nianchu wouldn't easily show her fox tail. Over the past six months, she has truly walked into Si Yubai's heart. The Si family forcing him like this will only backfire.]
Si Yubai frowned and glanced at Wen Yan.
What did she mean by that? On what grounds could she say that Sister Nianchu approached him with ulterior motives?
For the past half year, whenever he gave her expensive gifts, she never accepted them.
On the contrary, she would use her own salary to buy gifts for him.
She was a virtuous, gentle, and considerate good woman.
In her, he seemed to see the shadow of his mother from the past.
Si Moyan looked at Si Yubai with deep, narrowed eyes. No one is forcing you to break up with her right now. But since you suddenly started dating, shouldn't you let your family understand the situation?
Si Yubai turned the conversation toward Wen Yan. Big Brother, she stole company secrets and cuckolded you. Why are you still staying with her?
Wen Yan, ...
[Oh my god! I'm totally catching strays here.]
[Please call me the scapegoat from now on, okay?]
[If this little brother talks about me like that again, I'm going to glare at him with my nostrils.]
The originally serious atmosphere in the living room instantly underwent a subtle change.
