Chapter 827: Si Lisao: Think Carefully! 2
Si Mingjing speculated, "Your classmate is most likely pregnant, but she’s afraid to tell anyone. She needs an abortion but doesn’t want to leave any evidence. So she told you she needed a gynecological check-up requiring a family member’s signature. When she asked you to sign, she might not have shown you the details, and once you signed, the abortion record was under your name."
Ye Siyuan was completely stunned.
Si Mingjing continued, "This is an unlicensed shady clinic. They probably didn’t dare to connect to the network. So, when you signed it, no one in your family noticed, even your very attentive brother didn’t catch it. What’s the name of that classmate of yours?"
Ye Siyuan said, "Her name is Cao... I forgot, let me think."
Si Mingjing was exasperated, "You forgot her name?"
"After the college entrance exam, we didn’t meet for years. Oh, right, her name is Cao Yan. We were just desk neighbors in high school. We played well together back then, but that doesn’t mean we’ll stay close forever. Every life stage has its own friendships," Ye Siyuan explained.
She was quite angry, "I didn’t expect that being kind enough to accompany her to the hospital, she’d use me like a tool! I’ll go explain to Lisao right now."
"No need, my brother should’ve already looked into it. He investigated you."
Si Mingjing’s words sent a chill down Ye Siyuan’s spine, "Did Lisao look into this too?"
Doesn’t that mean she’s completely exposed in front of Si Lisao?
That feeling isn’t good. Ye Siyuan felt quite dismayed.
"Brother, would you investigate your wife too?" Ye Siyuan asked, seeking comfort.
Mo Yinhe, having finished his breakfast, gave Ye Siyuan a look, "Do you think I’m like you, lacking judgment? Picking a man who doesn’t trust you and digs into your ancestral history? I trust Mingjing."
Ye Siyuan was annoyed, "Brother, stop sowing discord! We’re different from you."
"How are you different?"
"With Lisao, I pursued him. With your wife, it was mutual love," Ye Siyuan consoled herself, "So, of course, it’s different. The one who loves first is the loser!"
Si Lisao left something on the dining table. When he came back to get it, he happened to overhear Ye Siyuan’s dejected words.
Si Lisao’s gaze slightly narrowed, reflecting upon himself.
He stepped forward and apologized to Ye Siyuan, "I shouldn’t have investigated you. I’ll change in the future."
Ye Siyuan was startled, stood up, and turned around. Seeing Si Lisao made her even more embarrassed.
She wished she could bite her tongue off.
Didn’t he leave? Why is he back, and did he hear what she just said?
Ye Siyuan thought, today is truly unlucky, nothing goes right.
Her awkwardness as she touched her nose looked adorable to Si Lisao, and that anxious little feeling of hers made his heartache.
Ye Siyuan felt very down and said, "What’s the point of saying this after you’ve thoroughly investigated? I have no privacy in front of you like a see-through person without clothes. Even if we get married, I should have my own privacy. It’s so awkward, and I can’t just wipe your memory clean."
After speaking, she bit her lower lip hard, leaving a clear imprint.
Si Lisao didn’t say anything more. He took her hand and led her away.
Si Lisao took her directly to his office building, right in front of the Royal Palace.
Along the way, many civil servants heading to their offices bowed upon seeing the two.
Si Lisao, unperturbed, led Ye Siyuan straight to his office.
Si Lisao removed his coat, hung it on the rack, and stood tall before a row of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, unlocking with his fingerprint. A secret compartment appeared on the shelf, from which Si Lisao retrieved a thick personal biography.
Si Lisao handed the several hundred-page biography to Ye Siyuan and said, "Take your time reading it."
"I won’t read it, it’s your personal privacy."
Ye Siyuan didn’t like to pry into others’ privacy, nor would she let others pry into hers. She felt it was basic human decency, and now she blamed Si Lisao, thinking he lacked that decency.
Anyway, it was hard for her to easily let go of her anger.
Si Lisao smiled, pulling her to his office chair and, sitting down, placing her on his lap, wrapping her in his arms: "Siyuan, you’d better seriously read through each page. We aren’t ordinary people, and in life, obvious and concealed schemes abound. Only with thorough understanding can one not be easily deceived by them. I’m doing this not just for you, but also for myself, to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts in future marriage. I’m busy and don’t have time to deal with misunderstandings and conflicts, and I don’t want to waste time on them."
Ye Siyuan blinked, not quite understanding.
Si Lisao continued, "These records weren’t meant for others to see but for my own. I can’t possibly remember every little thing in life, but any small incident might be used against me in the future. So the best thing is to record it. When someone wants to use this against me in the future, I’ll know how to handle it.
I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy or make you transparent. Only because you’re my chosen partner did my people investigate you, learning every detail of your life, so if anyone tries to wedge between us in the future, I won’t fall for it, got it?"
Ye Siyuan exclaimed, "So, you know what’s up with my abortion report?"
Si Lisao lightly tapped her head, not hard: "I know better than you. You made wrong friends, got used by classmates without realizing it. Now someone’s using it to create conflict. If I hadn’t known earlier, I might’ve fallen into a trap. But regardless of the explanation, investigating your privacy was wrong of me, and I apologize."
Ye Siyuan puffed her cheeks: "It was very uncomfortable, but hearing you explain it like this, I feel better. I had plans with Zhenxi and Tangtang to visit the Dragon Temple."
Ye Siyuan was easily soothed; her mood brightened, not holding any grudges.
Si Lisao tapped twice on the thick dossier: "Not reading?"
"No rush today. I’ll read it slowly after marriage. Zhenxi wants a daughter, so I’m going to the Dragon Temple to help her pray."
Si Lisao encircled her waist, whispering closer to her ear: "And pray for a daughter for yourself too."
Ye Siyuan’s ears flushed red instantly.
She bashfully murmured, "Don’t you like sons? Does Mu Continent prefer daughters over sons? If I have a son in the future, will my in-laws look down on me?"
Si Lisao pinched her cheek and released his embrace: "Whether a boy or a girl is up to you. I’ve heard in A Country, you can apply for national childcare. Since you’re A Country’s national treasure mermaid, you can go there to apply for an incubation egg when you’re pregnant."
