Chapter 417 - : Si Yiyan, You Can’t Change Fate

Chapter 417: Si Yiyan, You Can’t Change Fate
Silence filled the room again. In actual fact, Gu Yuehan’s qualms and worry were not uncalled for, because Wen Xinya had disrupted the peace within his heart. However, he’d often find a way to strike a balance.
He opened his palm slowly, the creases on his palm were intertwined in a complex manner. His father had brought him to several fortunetellers, all of whom told him that his palm lines signified a prosperous and prestigious life. He thought so too himself.
His mother then hired a master of palm-reading to read his palm after, which the master said that his palm lines were complicated and entangled, seemingly symbolizing that he would be unable to go against the books of fate.
Back then, he was still young and did not know much about those. Hence, he asked curiously,
What does that mean?

The master then explained that there was no line of marriage on his palm and that he was destined to die alone!


He then had a dream that night, during which he was in his fifties and was helming Lucifer and Xiasi Group. His life ended when he was at the pinnacle of success, sitting all alone by himself.
He actually believed in fate and destiny, even if he had already met Wen Xinya.
He believed that he would die alone.
He had already met Wen Xinya in this lifetime.
Her existence had become irreplaceable to him.
Hence, he understood that the master meant that he would be losing Wen Xinya!
Losing her would be the only way that he died alone.
He clenched his fist tightly, as if he was clenching his destiny in his hands.
Although he believed in fate and destiny, he had much more faith in himself!
Hence, he was determined to get rid of everyone and everything that would pose a threat to Wen Xinya.


The door was opened all of a sudden. Gu Yuehan entered with heavy footsteps and said with a grave expression,
Ninth Young Master, Miss Wen has come to Jiayuan Club and we’ve already held her down, but she still refuses to leave. She’s loitering around the entrance of Jiayuan.


How long has she been here for?
Si Yiyan said with a gentler expression.
So much has happened in the city lately and she’s close friends with the Gu family’s successor, Gu Junling. I reckon she must have guessed something. She’s just loitering around the entrance to attract my attention. So long as I’m in Jiayuan Club, she’d definitely see me sooner or later.
What a smart girl.

She’s been there for a while now. We saw her near Black Sunday too,
Gu Yuehan answered, staring at his gentle expression. He knew that the thought of Wen Xinya would soften his heart.
Si Yiyan nodded, overwhelmed with anxiety and helplessness. He wanted to dash out and pull her into his arms. However… he was held back by the thoughts of Black Sunday. He did not wish to let her find out about Black Sunday. However, he knew that he would be able to find another excuse as long as he didn’t appear in front of her tonight.
Noticing that his brows had furrowed into a frown, Gu Yuehan asked,
Ninth Young Master, aren’t you going to go see Miss Wen?

Miss Wen is a bright and clever girl. She must have known about everything that happened in the city in the past few days. However, she actually risked her life to come to Black Sunday and Jiayuan Club to look for Ninth Young Master. Clearly… he means a lot to her.
Si Yiyan said with a frown,
The time isn’t right. I’d better not see her for now!

Wen Xinya had always been a resolute and determined person. She also had always wanted to defeat her enemies on her own. Hence, she definitely wouldn’t like the idea of having him interfere with her affairs.


Having guessed what he was thinking, Gu Yuehan said,
Is it really appropriate to hide it from Miss Wen? After all, this matter concerns her, and she has the right to know.

Miss Wen might get upset at Ninth Young Master’s intervention, but the truth can’t be kept under wraps forever. She would find out about it sooner or later. By then, everything would be different and the Ninth Young Master would be seen as a liar. She probably would not accept being lied to.
Given how intelligent Ninth Young Master is, he would definitely have thought about this. However, people in love are often blind.
Si Yiyan was a little hesitant, for he found Gu Yuehan’s words to have made sense. He did not wish to lie to Wen Xinya. However… he was not confident that Wen Xinya would accept his help.
Gu Yuehan stared at Si Yiyan in astonishment, because the latter had never been so hesitant before.
However, it’s not appropriate for Miss Wen to be loitering around the streets, especially at this hour.

Si Yiyan grabbed the binoculars and looked out of the window.
Wen Xinya was dressed in a light blue windbreaker and a pair of black leather boots. She was extremely thin and gaunt. She squatted beneath the tree and rubbed her arms and hands together every now and then to give herself some warmth. She would also stare at the entrance of the Jiayuan Club from time to time.
The evergreen trees by the roadsides swayed continuously in the wind and the leaves ruffled uncontrollably. Si Yiyan’s heart wrenched up and the night breeze began to blow.
Feeling a little chilly, Wen Xinya stood up and adjusted her coat before placing her hands inside the pockets of her windbreaker. She then stood on top of the tiles and began jumping.
Si Yiyan glanced at the golden clock on the wall to see that it was already one o’clock in the morning. He murmured,
It’s already so late.



Although it was almost February, the temperatures were still rather cold and the difference between the temperatures in the day and the night was drastic. He remembered that the lowest predicted temperature of the night would be -3 degrees celsius. He felt cold even in a quilted jacket, what more Wen Xinya who was dressed in a thin windbreaker.
To make matters worse, Wen Xinya had a frail body that was sensitive to low temperatures. She had always been afraid of the cold and would often stay at home during the peak of wintertime.
Yet, she was waiting for news of him, all alone in the cold.
Gu Yuehan looked out of the window. However, he could not see anything at all because they were on such a high floor.
It seems it’s going to be rather chilly tonight. The weather forecast mentioned that there’s going to be typhoons too.

Si Yiyan’s pupils constricted and he tightened his grip on the binoculars while pressing his lips together with a frown on his forehead.
Gu Yuehan continued,
I don’t know how much longer Miss Wen will continue staying outside for. Is she going to keep waiting until she gets some news about you?

Si Yiyan glanced at him before turning around to walk away. He strode towards the door eagerly.
Gu Yuehan smiled in amusement._ How impatient!_
It’s not too bad of a thing actually!
At least, he won’t be pulling a long face and putting on airs every single day like he used to in the past.
