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

Zhou Chengchen’s purpose was obviously achieved; Xi Siyan brought over the things and, upon seeing her like this, a flash of admiration appeared in his eyes.

To be honest, Xi Siyan isn’t someone who cares much about appearances. In fact, he usually doesn’t pay attention to what many people he knows look like.

But now, he was really amazed by Zhou Chengchen.

However, Xi Siyan quickly composed himself, put the things down, and handed a pair of chopsticks to Zhou Chengchen, "Eat up."

At the banquet, Zhou Chengchen had naturally eaten a little, but in that kind of setting, despite the wide array of food, it’s really just for show. So when Zhou Chengchen said she was hungry, she wasn’t lying.

She did not hold back, eating mouthful after mouthful, while not forgetting to praise the person in front of her, "Really delicious."

Her mouth was full of food, cheeks puffed up, and her speech unclear, but there was still a smile on her face. Xi Siyan was amused by her and also ate a little with her.

After eating, Xi Siyan went to clean up the dishes, while Zhou Chengchen sat in his study. Her gaze suddenly fell on the red envelope at the corner of the desk, and she was startled. She glanced towards the door, then reached out to take it.

"New Year’s Envelope"

The three large golden characters on the red envelope were particularly striking.

The simplest kind of red envelope for New Year’s money, Zhou Chengchen was startled again. It wasn’t even New Year’s Eve yet, so why was there already a New Year’s envelope?

With the red envelope still in hand, Xi Siyan had already walked over.

Being caught peeking at someone else’s red envelope in their house is actually a bit awkward, but Zhou Chengchen felt none of that now. She just looked at Xi Siyan with confusion.

There was no reaction on Xi Siyan’s face; he merely took the red envelope from Zhou Chengchen’s hand and placed it back on the table, "I’ll take you to catch a ride."

Zhou Chengchen, being quite sharp, suddenly sensed something from Xi Siyan’s gentle demeanor.

However, she didn’t say anything. Noticing how late it was, she couldn’t delay going back home.

She put on her down coat again, and the two of them went out.

Xi Siyan waited until she got into the car, noted the license plate number and the driver’s name, and only after the car had driven off did he slowly return to his apartment.

His mood, which had long since calmed, brightened considerably upon seeing Zhou Chengchen again.

The feeling of having her around was indeed wonderful.

As Zhou Chengchen sat in the taxi, she thought about the red envelope she just saw.

She roughly understood Xi Siyan’s situation: the ones who might give him a red envelope are none other than the An Family and his mother.

But judging from Xi Siyan’s attitude, it obviously wouldn’t be from the An Family. It could only be from his mother.

No mother hands out New Year’s money in advance unless they aren’t spending New Year’s together.

So, is Xi Siyan’s mother not spending the New Year with him?

A wave of anger instantly surged in Zhou Chengchen’s heart.

It’s New Year’s Eve, a time meant for family gatherings. Is he really spending it alone?

Zhou Chengchen pursed her lips, suddenly remembered something, and sent a message to An Rui on her phone.

An Rui was a nice person, and she’s very sociable. After several interactions, they all became friends.

[Will Xi Siyan be spending New Year with your family?]

Zhou Chengchen asked directly, and soon An Rui replied: [No, he said his mom wants him to go back over there.]

Zhou Chengchen understood. Go back there? He’s just going to be alone.

There are many people who spend the New Year alone, but most due to work necessities or being too far from home—unavoidable circumstances. But that’s not the case for Xi Siyan, he has a family he can’t return to, a home where he can’t stay.
