Si Wan was a little confused, but since Yan Xiuya had spoken, she did not have any way to refute it. After all, taking a week off wouldn't hurt him, so she agreed and went back to the Gong Family.

"You're back. Come on, let's eat." He pulled Si Wan and sat down. Si Wan was very flattered, and the moment she sat down, she saw Gong Siming was staring at him from the side. Why was he here?

Si Wan was a little surprised. She thought that he wouldn't return today, but just as she was wondering, the Old Master Gong spoke up again.

"Sisi will sit together with Si Wan, we don't need to be cautious." Old man Gong chuckled, but the bottom of his eyes were unquestionable.

The atmosphere was a little tense. Gong Siming had a face of reluctance, but facing the old man, he had no choice but to obey. Si Wan sighed, not knowing what kind of play the old man was singing today, he automatically stood up and sat beside Gong Siming.

"Grandfather, let's start the meal. I'm starving." Gong Siming had never thought of this as a good thing, but at the same time, a sour feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. In Gong Siming's heart, she was not there to begin with, and even if they played tricks on each other, there would still be no conclusion to it.

Carrying a slightly fresh fragrance, Si Wan sat down on the right side of Gong Siming. The faintly discernible aura that belonged to her hovered around the tip of his nose, making him feel a little weird.

The meal ended in a quiet atmosphere. He thought that it would end here, but to think that it was actually just the beginning.

"You … "I'm back." Si Wan opened his eyes wide, looking at Gong Siming who was changing his shoes in the entrance, the usually busy Gong Siming actually went home on time! Si Wan was stunned by the scene in front of her eyes.

Si Wan, who was still in a daze, rubbed his eyes. Not far away, Gong Siming saw the corner of her lips curled up unintentionally, and the unhappiness of being forced to return home was also slowly dissipating.

This woman was sometimes quite cute, Gong Siming's eyes revealed a trace of warmth, but the image of Feng Ling lying on the bed appeared in front of him. Damn it, what was he thinking about, the person in front of him was the one who caused Feng Ling to lie on the bed till now.

"Although you are my wife in name, don't think of yourself as a part of this family. Also, this is my family, I can come back anytime I want."

Gong Siming said softly, Si Wan bit her lower lip, and her mood slowly sank.

"I know." Si Wan lowered her head and suppressed the emotions in her eyes. She had always known that she did not belong to this family.

The unexpected reaction made Gong Siming feel like he was punching cotton. Annoyed feelings crawled into his heart, why didn't she refute himself? This kind of feeling really made his uncomfortable.

As for Si Wan, who was originally happy that he was willing to return home, her mood sank when she saw his heavy expression. What kind of extravagant wish was she praying for?

Si Wan mocked herself in her heart. Even if he was willing to return home everyday, it had nothing to do with her. Thinking like this, she decided to walk in another direction and choose to leave.

"Ding ling ling …" An ear-piercing phone's ringtone sounded out, interrupting Si Wan's train of thoughts. The words "Little Yu" were displayed on the screen, causing him to raise her eyebrows.

She had even forgotten that even though she was on vacation, the company's projects had not stopped. If she were to leave now, Little Yu's side would probably be extremely busy.

"Director, you haven't been in the company for so long, did something happen?" Little Yu's worried voice could not help but make Si Wan's heart warm up.

"Nothing, I just want to relax, don't worry." Si Wan threw aside her previous emotions and said softly.

"That's good. Also, I want to ask …" Little Yu frowned, she was in a hurry to leave, she had many matters to take care of, could it be that there was a problem with the company's plans?

"Little Yu, did something happen during the project?" Si Wan cleared her throat and picked up the phone. She thought that Little Yu would cry and complain to him, but the energetic voice surprised him.

"There's no need to rush if there's a problem with the progress of the project. Don't you still have me?" When Si Wan left, the company project was at a critical moment, so she didn't know how it was progressing with her departure.

"Don't worry about it if you have me for the project. I didn't call for that." Little Yu giggled, her voice that was full of laughter made Si Wan a little uneasy.

"Director, we've been getting along for so long already, can you not hide anything from me?" Little Yu's voice came out from the phone. The girl's bell-like laughter made Si Wan even more confused.

Just as she was about to ask, Little Yu asked again, "Have you made up with Boss Gong? There aren't any news about Boss Gong recently, and you didn't even share some good news with me. To think that I'm so worried about you."

Even through the phone, Si Wan could imagine the sulking look the little girl had when he was pouting. Si Wan smiled and suddenly realised that Gong Siming seemed to have returned home on time recently and did not pick on the flowers or play with the grass outside.

"Stop making wild guesses, Boss Gong and I are not like you." Si Wan sighed. Even if Gong Siming did not reveal anything, that did not mean that he would forgive him for what he had done to Feng Ling.

"But, the Boss Gong hasn't had any gossip published about this matter recently …" Si Wan anxiously tried to explain as she gave a bitter laugh. She was very clear on what Gong Siming's feelings toward her were.

"If you have time to read gossip papers, you might as well put more effort into the project." Si Wan sighed, and began to teach Little Yu.

Little Yu's indignant voice came over, "Do I care about you? Besides, I rarely read gossip newspapers."

Si Wan laughed softly. She understood the little girl's emotions too easily, she was much easier to deal with than Gong Siming.

"Alright, alright, you heard it from someone else."

After comforting Little Yu, Si Wan returned to the main topic at hand.

"You know how important this project is. Once you finish it, you will be able to learn a lot of things, which will be beneficial to your future development."

Si Wan warned Little Yu a few times to not spread the news of her leave and arranged for the matters of the company before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, the room returned to silence. Gong Siming had gone somewhere long ago, and the only thing left in the empty room was Little Yu's giggling, "Have you made up with Boss Gong …"

To make peace with Gong Siming, if only his eyes could take care of his. Si Wan picked up the pillow on the sofa and buried her face deep, hiding the sparkling tears in his eyes. Fortunately, everything was going to end soon.
