This was the first time Si Youyou had ever seen Ming Zheng angry.
He had always been noble, gentle, and elegant.
At this moment, the piercing coldness radiating from him was daunting.
After Lu Yanchuan and his group left in a sorry state, Ming Zheng turned to look at Si Youyou.
Si Youyou bit her lip, lowered her long eyelashes, and said softly, "Professor Ming, thank you for just now."
Hearing her call him Professor Ming, a hint of darkness flashed through Ming Zheng's deep eyes behind his glasses.
"We're not at school. You don't have to call me Professor."
Si Youyou let out an "Oh" and said, "Mr. Ming."
Ming Zheng pressed his tongue against his back molars, his gaze toward her obscure and unreadable.
This little girl really had a knack for irritating him.
"I'll go into the private room to find my older brother first."
In front of him, she always felt a bit constrained and intimidated.
Not daring to say another word to him, she quickly turned and ran off.
But it wasn't long before she ran back out.
Seeing Ming Zheng leaning against the club entrance smoking, Si Youyou pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Ming, my brother has already left, so I'll be heading back too."
Ming Zheng flicked the ash from his cigarette, his voice deep, mellow, and refined. "I'll take you back."
"No need, I drove here myself."
After Si Youyou drove her car away from the club, she let out a long sigh of relief.
However, just as the car got onto the overpass, the right rear tire blew out.
Si Youyou had to turn on her hazard lights and pull over to the side of the road.
She took the warning triangle from the trunk and placed it a distance behind the car.
Just as she set it up, before she even had time to call the dealership, a black Bentley drove over.
The handsome and refined man stood in front of her.
"A blown tire?"
Si Youyou hummed in agreement. "I was just about to call the dealership."
"It will take the dealership at least half an hour to get here. I'll change the spare tire for you."
The man took off his jacket and handed it to her. A trace of imperceptible doting flashed in his deep eyes behind the lenses. "It will be quick. Stand to the side and stay safe."
His voice was magnetic and gentle.
Not at all like the cold and indifferent tone he used in the classroom.
Before Si Youyou could say anything, the man had already taken the spare tire from her car.
He rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his lean and powerful forearms. Even though he looked slender, when he bent over, the lines of his chest and arm muscles outlined by his shirt were very solid and strong.
The refreshing night breeze blew the man's meticulously styled hair, and a few strands fell across his forehead, stripping away his usual maturity and seriousness, adding a bit of unguarded elegance and handsomeness.
Actually, all of her older brother's friends were quite good-looking.
As he changed the tire, the veins on the back of his hands bulged slightly. His knuckles were distinct, like jade bamboo, exquisite and beautiful.
Si Youyou realized she had been staring at him for quite a while and quickly looked away.
It didn't take long for Ming Zheng to finish changing the tire.
"All done."
Si Youyou took out a few wet wipes from the car and handed them to him. "Thank you."
When Ming Zheng took the wet wipes, his fingers touched the back of Si Youyou's hand, whether intentionally or not.
The slight touch seemed to carry a trace of electricity.
Si Youyou quickly withdrew her hand.
"Mr. Ming, your jacket."
Ming Zheng took the jacket, and his fingertips gently brushed against her small face. "Little girl, you seem to be very afraid of me?"
Si Youyou suddenly took a few steps back, her eyes wide open like a frightened little rabbit. "You... you're being impolite!"
Ming Zheng slightly curled the corners of his lips. "This is impolite? There will be times when I'm even more impolite in the future."
Si Youyou, "..."
She completely couldn't understand what he was talking about.
She hadn't offended him, so why would he be impolite to her?
...
The Si Family.
As soon as they heard the sound of a car engine outside, Old Master Si and Si Jingyi quickly rushed out of their rooms.
They were the two biggest gossips in the Si family!
"Grandpa, I just saw from upstairs that older brother was brought back by the driver. He couldn't even walk steadily. The battle tonight must have been intense."
Old Master Si smiled so widely that his mouth almost reached his ears. "Is your sister-in-law back too? I need to have the chef stew some tonics for them."
Just as Old Master Si finished speaking, Si Moyan walked in from outside.
Si Moyan's handsome face was cold and gloomy, his dark eyes piercing, like an Asura straight out of hell. The chilling aura radiating from him seemed as if it could freeze the surrounding air into ice.
Old Master Si and Si Jingyi exchanged a glance.
Both of them secretly cried 'Oh no' in their hearts.
How did this look like he had spent a romantic night?
To them, it looked more like he had been abandoned.
They could feel that resentful husband vibe from several meters away.
"Could it be that Big Brother's skills are so terrible that he's even worse than me? I at least got a hundred million in hell money back then!"
Old Master Si looked up at the sky speechlessly. "Why are the men of our Si family so incompetent? Why is no one as majestic and virile as this old man?"
Si Moyan looked at Old Master Si with dark, cold eyes. "Is Wen Yan back?"
Old Master Si glared angrily at Si Moyan. "It looks like you two really had a fight. Usually, you call her Mrs. Si, Yanyan, or Baby, but now you're actually calling her by her full name. You're incompetent yourself, and you're taking your anger out on your wife?"
"Fortunately, I prepared a perfect tonic pill for you in advance. If you eat it, you'll definitely regain your virility!"
Si Moyan's face turned extremely dark. "I didn't sleep with her!"
"Oh my, you two went to the hot springs alone and still didn't sleep together? Are you completely impotent?"
Si Moyan, "..."
It seemed that Wen Yan had not returned.
He had previously found the bar she went to, but by the time he arrived, she had already left.
Her phone was turned off, she didn't go to school, and she was nowhere to be found!
With a face as cold as frost, Si Moyan turned around and strode out of the Si family home.
Old Master Si and Si Jingyi exchanged a glance.
They were doomed!
It seemed the two of them had a pretty serious falling out this time!
Old Master Si and Si Jingyi both called Wen Yan separately, but both were notified that her phone was off.
"If he loses my eldest granddaughter-in-law, I'll skin him alive!" Old Master Si roared.
...
Si Moyan had drunk alcohol that night and couldn't drive. He had the driver drive around the city in a big circle. He sat in the back seat dialing Wen Yan's phone, but it remained turned off.
He suddenly felt a bit of regret in his heart for slamming the door and leaving.
She was right; he was indeed too greedy.
Some things needed to be taken step by step and couldn't be rushed.
But then, thinking about how she ran to a bar and called for ten male models, all young and handsome, his heart ached with anger again.
Just as Si Moyan was about to use his connections to check the surveillance cameras near the bar, he received a call from Old Master Si. "What on earth did you do to Little Yan? She just came back, carrying her suitcase and wanting to leave. Second Boy and I couldn't even stop her. Get your ass back here right now!"
Si Moyan pressed his thin lips tightly together. Without saying a word, he hung up the phone directly and told the driver to drive the car back to the Si family home at top speed.
Just as they arrived at the main gate of the villa, he saw Wen Yan exerting a tremendous amount of effort to break free from the Si family's pulling and get into a car.
Just as Wen Yan's car was about to drive away, Si Moyan suddenly made a bold move!
