When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 1115: Chapter 1115: Hidden Wounds

Zhou Chengchen couldn’t see Xi Siyan’s face, clenched his hands fiercely, and was about to step out.

But before she could make a move, she heard Xi Siyan’s unhurried voice, "Chen, you’re overthinking it. Also, who she is doesn’t need you to tell me, I have my eyes."

——

On the way home from school, Zhou Qi was playing a game on his phone. Apparently, things weren’t going well in the game, and occasionally he would mutter a couple of curses: "Damn, what a moron."

Zhou Chengchen was unusually quiet, quietly watching the scenery outside the window, her eyes unfocused.

She was lost in thought.

What lingered in her mind was Xi Siyan’s last words.

He said Chen Youran was overthinking, did that mean he didn’t like her?

But he also said that who she is doesn’t need others to tell him, he has his eyes. Was he defending her?

Why didn’t he like her, but still wanted to defend her?

Zhou Chengchen’s mood was a bit down because he didn’t like her, but a bit happy because he defended her.

This rollercoaster of emotions was truly agonizing.

Then there were those things Chen Youran said about her.

Did Xi Siyan believe them?

Zhou Chengchen sighed; what she said was actually true, but also not true. The reasoning is complicated, should she explain it to him?

Or maybe Xi Siyan didn’t need her explanation at all?

Zhou Chengchen’s gloominess lasted several days, especially when she saw Xi Siyan acting like nothing happened the next day, her mood sank even lower.

Actually, it’s not the first time Xi Siyan has made it clear he doesn’t like her, but for some reason, this time Zhou Chengchen felt exceptionally down.

Perhaps it’s because she had hopes before, so when those hopes were dashed, she felt this way.

Or maybe it’s because he admitted in front of others that he didn’t like her.

Up until the New Year’s Day holiday, Zhou Chengchen still hadn’t emerged from that gloom, and even turned down Xiao Rou’s invitation to go shopping.

What Zhou Chengchen didn’t know was that Xi Siyan was feeling a bit off these days too.

He didn’t really pay attention to Chen Youran’s words, but there was one line he kept remembering.

She said she had several boyfriends in middle school.

She had other boyfriends?

While doing exercises these past couple of days, Xi Siyan occasionally found himself distracted.

He knew it was pointless to ponder this; whether or not she had boyfriends, what did it matter to him?

Besides, is what Chen Youran said really true?

But thinking of her usual shameless and overly flattering demeanor, Xi Siyan felt a subtle sense of annoyance inside.

On New Year’s Day, Zhang Yi called him, saying he had deposited another thousand into his account, telling him to buy some good food for himself, without mentioning anything about coming home.

Naturally, Xi Siyan wouldn’t take the initiative to go back.

After spending the morning doing exercises, Xi Siyan had a quick lunch and went to the An Family with some pastries he bought.

This is what Mrs. An told him yesterday when she called, asking him to come over for the holiday and tutor An Ge a bit.

When Xi Siyan arrived, Mrs. An was talking about something in the kitchen.

"Add two more chicken dishes, Si Yan, that boy loves chicken."

Just as Xi Siyan entered, he heard this line, feeling a sudden warmth in his heart.

Zhang Yi probably didn’t even know what he liked to eat, but another’s mother knew precisely.

After Mrs. An finished instructing, she turned around and saw Xi Siyan standing at the entryway with his things.
