Si Wan gets quite confused. But since Yan Xiuya gives the instruction, she can’t raise any objections. Anyway, a one-week off does no harm to her, so Si Wan agrees and immediately returns home.

“You’re back, come on, time to have dinner.” Seeing Si Wan entering the house, grandfather Gong looks quite pleased and pulls her to the seat. Being overwhelmed by an unexpected favor, Si Wan finds that Gong Siming is staring at her as soon as she sits down. Why is he here?

Si Wan is kind of surprised, as she thought he wouldn’t come back today. While she is still in confusion, grandfather Gong gives the instruction.

“Siming, go to sit with Si Wan, as one family, we don’t need to be restrained.” Despite his smiling face, grandfather Gong looks irresistible.

The atmosphere becomes kind of tense. Gong Siming looks quite reluctant but has to obey his grandfather. Not knowing the true purpose of grandfather Gong, Si Wan gives a sigh and takes the seat beside Gong Siming.

“Grandfather, let’s have dinner, I’m starving.” Easing the situation, Si Wan feels a little bitter inside her heart. Gong Siming doesn’t love her at all, no matter how hard they try to bring them together, it will never work out. Thinking of this, Si Wan finds it more and more correct to leave as soon as possible.

With Si Wan sitting on his right, Gong Siming catches a whiff of her fresh fragrance. The unique smell of her, faintly discernible, lingers in his nose, causing a strange feeling in his heart. Is it a feeling of ease? Gong Siming doesn’t want to admit this, as he is supposed to hate her.

The dinner ends in silence. Si Wan considers it as an end, but actually it is just a beginning.

“You…are back.” Si Wan’s eyes widen in shock when seeing Gong Siming changing his shoes on the porch. The person who is always terribly busy unexpectedly returns home on time! Being shocked by what she sees, Si Wan doubts whether her eyes have deceived her.

Being rooted to the ground, Si Wan rubs her eyes. Not far away, Gong Siming lifts the corner of his mouth unconsciously after seeing her reaction, and the unhappiness caused by being forced to return home also disappears gradually.

Sometimes this woman also looks cute. A soft expression flashes through his eyes, but next, Feng Ling who lies in bed also appears in his mind. Damn it! What is he thinking of? The woman in front of him is the very person who caused Feng Ling to fall into a coma. Feeling indignant inside, Gong Siming’s face turns gloomy again.

“Although you’re my nominal wife, don’t consider youself as one of the family members. By the way, this is my house, which means I can go back at any time.”

Listening to Gong Siming, Si Wan bites her lower lip, with her mood getting worse and worse.

“I know.” Si Wan lowers her head and holds back all the expressions in her eyes. She has always known that she doesn’t belong to this family.

Si Wan’s unexpected reaction makes Gong Siming quite fidgety, as if he smashes his fist on some cotton, meeting with no response. Why didn’t she refute? This really makes him sick.

At the same time, Si Wan, who stands over there, has also experienced changes of mood, from happiness, which emerged because of his return, to melancholy, caused by his gloomy expression. Why does she still have unreasonable expectations? Do you think he comes back for you? Too funny.

Laughing at herself in heart, Si Wan realizes that even if he comes back every day, it has nothing to do with her. Originally, she was ready to move forward; but now with this idea, she chooses to leave in another direction.

“Ring. Ring…” The phone shrills, which interrupts Si Wan’s train of thought. The ‘big’ words “Xiaoyu” emerge on the screen, which makes Si Wan raise her eyebrows.

She has forgotten that although she is on holiday, the project of the company is still under preparation. Si Wan guesses that after starting her holiday, Xiaoyu has probably been killed by the stressful work.

“Director, you haven’t been to the company for several days. What happened?” Xiaoyu’s voice sounds worried, which is warm-hearting to Si Wan.

“Nothing. I just want to have a rest, don’t worry.” Holding back the bad mood, Si Wan says slightly.

“That’s good. By the way, I want to ask…” Xiaoyu’s voice is hesitant, sounds a little teasing, which makes Si Wan a little anxious. As she left all of a sudden, without arranging everything on her hands, is there anything wrong with the project?

“Xiaoyu, anything wrong with the project?” Clearing her throat, Si Wan answers the phone. She thought that Xiaoyu would complain tearfully to her, but to her surprise, Xiaoyu’s voice sounds quite energetic.

“If there is anything wrong, don’t worry. You still have me.” When she left, the project was at a critical moment. Staying at home, Si Wan doesn’t know how it is going now.

“I’m in charge here, so please don’t worry about the project. But I am not calling to ask this.” Xiaoyu is giggling, and her laughter makes Si Wan kind of uneasy.

“Director, we have known each other for such a long time. If there is something good, please don’t hold out on me.” Coming from the other side, Xiaoyu’s silvery laugh makes Si Wan more confused: what good thing?

Before Si Wan opens her mouth, Xiaoyu continues to ask: “Have you become reconciled with Boss Gong? Recently there is no pink news about him. How could you keep this good news from me? I was worried about you.”

Even if she can’t see Xiaoyu at the moment, Si Wan can still imagine Xiaoyu pouting and getting a little sulky now in the office. With a smile on her face, Si Wan suddenly realizes that recently Gong Siming comes back on time every day, instead of staying out for philandering like he did in the past.

“Don’t guess without ground. The relationship between me and Boss Gong is not like what you imagine.” Giving a sigh, Si Wan knows that Gong Siming won’t forgive her for what she has done to Feng Ling, let alone reconcile with her, though he has no pink news recently.

“But, these days Boss Gong hasn’t hit the headlines because of pink news…” Xiaoyu tries to argue. Si Wan forces a bitter smile, as she knows clearly how Gong Siming feels for her, and no pink news actually can’t prove anything.

“It’s better to pay your attention to the project instead of gossip newspaper.” Giving a sigh, Si Wan starts to instruct Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu sounds aggrieved: “I’m caring about you, and I seldom read gossip newspaper.”

Si Wan breaks into a soft laughter, as this girl’s mood is so easy to understand, much easier than Gong Siming whose mood is unpredictable.

“Well, well, you heard all of these from others.”

After comforting Xiaoyu, Si Wan goes back to the point.

“You know the significance of this project. After finishing it, you’ll gain much experience that can benefit your further development.”

Before hanging up, Si Wan presents some other points to Xiaoyu, including not telling others about her holiday, as well as arrangements for the project.

The room returns to silence after Si Wan hangs up her mobile phone. Gong Siming has already gone, and only Xiaoyu’s laughter lingers in Si Wan’s ears: “Have you become reconciled with Boss Gong…”

Reconciliation with Gong Siming? If only he could accept her. Holding the pillow on the sofa in her arms, Si Wan buries her face in it to cover the tears in her eyes. Fortunately, all of these will come to an end soon.
