Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Yun Lih Is Not Reserved, He’s Repressed and Flirtatious Xia Siyu didn’t respond, slipped on her slippers, and bolted. Yun Lih watched her fleeing figure running out of the multifunction room and pinched his temples, laughing to himself. He had never seen a woman who slept as restlessly as she did, tossing and turning like she was practicing Tai Chi. During breakfast, the four sat on opposite sides of the long table. He Chen was feeding Yin Mo, teasing lightly, “Did you two sleep well last night?” Xia Siyu didn’t say a word, her head down, stuffing buns into her mouth. Yun Lih took a sip of milk, picked up a knife and fork to cut his toast, “Why are you so nosy?” He Chen eyed Yun Lih and Xia Siyu mischievously and suddenly said something startling, “If you don’t want me meddling, next time stay away from the cameras.” Xia Siyu suddenly burped, choking on a bun. Her round, peachy eyes stared at He Chen, unable to react for a moment. The multifunction room has cameras? Just then, a glass of milk was handed over, Xia Siyu turned her head to see Yun Lih. Not only that, his hand reached around to her back, gently patted twice, seemingly to ease her discomfort, “What’s the rush? No one’s fighting you for it.” Xia Siyu’s spine stiffened, feeling a bit at a loss. This sort of gentle and considerate detail, how could it appear on Yun Lih? Xia Siyu mechanically drank a couple of sips of milk, her gaze full of confusion and disbelief. What’s up with him? Updates are released by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵 Near noon, Xia Siyu and Yun Lih left the He family villa. He Chen hugged Yin Mo at the door, watching them drive away. As the car moved out of sight, Yin Mo smiled lightly, “Brother Lih seems to care about Lao Wu, doesn’t he?” This morning, at the breakfast table, his behavior and actions all revealed care and attention to Xia Siyu. Upon hearing, He Chen slightly lowered his eyes, smiled and said, “How did you see that?” “Just a feeling.” Yin Mo pursed her lips in a serious manner, explaining softly, “Brother Lih is usually very reserved and seldom shows concern for others. But I can tell, he really cares about Lao Wu.” At the entrance, He Chen was silent for a few seconds, his tone chilly, “Do you still have feelings for him?” Yin Mo tilted her head, meeting his feigned angry gaze, laughingly tapping him on the shoulder, “You know that’s not what I meant…” He Chen snorted, his strong arms encircling her, correcting, “Yun Lih isn’t reserved, he’s just repressed.” That man appears indifferent on the surface, but inside, his thoughts are quite rich and dramatic. Elsewhere, in the back seat of the Cayenne, Xia Siyu looked down at her phone, her thoughts drifting far away. The car was very quiet, Yun Lih had his legs crossed, resting with his eyes closed. From Xia Siyu’s angle, his eyes showed dark circles, seemingly very exhausted. He only had three months left. Xia Siyu couldn’t bear to look, turned away, then tentatively asked, “Brother Lih, do you have any plans next?” Yun Lih initially thought to say he had none, but on second thought, glanced at Xia Siyu who kept picking at her fingers, raised an eyebrow, “Find a place to end my remaining days.” Ah Hao, driving, glanced at the rearview mirror, silently giving Yun Lih a thumbs-up in his mind. When it comes to appearances, no one dares claim first over Master Yun. At that moment, Xia Siyu rubbed the leather seat by her leg, asking softly and faintly, “Where do you want to go?” “Haven’t decided.” Yun Lih looked at the car roof with a hopeless expression, “It’s all the same anyway.” Xia Siyu gazed at his sharply defined profile, hesitated for a long time before suggesting, “Why not… go to Cloud City?” Yun Lih slowly turned his head, an unnoticed thin smile flashing in his eyes, “Reason?” “Convenient for treatment.” Xia Siyu dared not meet his eyes, choosing to look outside as she spoke, “I’ve already restarted the Blue-ringed octopus research at Huanxia Laboratory, no matter what, it’s better not to give up easily.” Yun Lih gazed at her deeply, his voice inexplicably hoarse, “When did you restart the research?” Xia Siyu blinked, “This morning…” She drank too much last night but didn’t black out. The matter of the three-month deadline was firmly etched in her memory. Yun Lih’s Adam’s apple moved, then decisively said after a while, “Alright, Cloud City it is.” Xia Siyu was first surprised, then joyous, “You’re really willing to go to Cloud City?” “Or should I go straight to the crematorium instead?” Yun Lih teased coldly and continued to close his eyes to rest. Xia Siyu was slightly choked by his words but didn’t get angry. She quickly opened her phone, immediately ordering her assistant to prepare for their arrival in Cloud City. Unknowingly, Xia Siyu abandoned all logic, her internal scales tipping once again toward Yun Lih under the influence of emotions. As evening fell, Xia Siyu emerged from Huanxia Branch Company, looked up to see Yun Lih leaning against the car door, smoking. The driver’s seat lacked Ah Hao’s presence, clearly indicating he had driven there himself. Xia Siyu hurried over, her expression a bit surprised, “Brother Lih, why are you here?” “Passing by.” Yun Lih opened the passenger door, “Get in.” Xia Siyu entered the car dazedly, growing even more bewildered. She felt Yun Lih had changed but couldn’t pinpoint the difference. In the front passenger seat, Xia Siyu observed Yun Lih, “I’ve almost finished my business in South Sea, I can return to Cloud City tomorrow, how about you?” Yun Lih held the steering wheel with one hand, watching the rearview mirror, speaking indifferently, “Hmm, I’ll go with you.” Xia Siyu’s heart trembled, a tingling sensation sweeping through her body, “Your business… all done?” As soon as the words landed, Yun Lih let out a brief laugh. He glanced at Xia Siyu, deep eyes showing a gleam that made her heart flutter, “Can’t you tell what business I came to South Sea for?” Xia Siyu’s eardrums buzzed, clutching the seatbelt, corrected her posture, and kept taking deep breaths. What does he mean with that? Why is her mind going astray? Could it be he really came to South Sea for her? As soon as this thought appeared, Xia Siyu quickly denied it. She thought, maybe it’s because Yun Lih doesn’t have much time left, that’s why he’s become gentler and more straightforward than before. Xia Siyu rebuilt her mental fortitude, regaining some composure in her demeanor, “You never told me, how would I know what business you’re up to.” Yun Lih’s lips curled subtly, “Xia Lao Wu, your feigned ignorance has improved.” “I’m not pretending to be ignorant? What are you talking about, I don’t understand…” Before the words were finished, Yun Lih casually interrupted, “Xiaxia, you really don’t understand?” Xia Siyu pressed her lips together, remaining silent. This vague ambiguity not only made her feel uneasy but even made her heartbeat become erratic. Xia Siyu clutched the seatbelt tightly, certain words lingered at the tip of her tongue, ready to be spoken. Yet she dared not ask, afraid it would lead to another disappointing, self-involved fantasy.
