Chapter 556: Heavy Rain
...
Thinking of Diana’s open adoration for Si Chen, Tong Yao couldn’t help but comment, "Foreigners are quite bold with their emotions."
In their own country, even if one had designs on another woman’s husband, they would keep it a secret, like Zhou Minyue. Very few would dare to admit it openly and provoke the wife face to face.
Si Chen, holding Tong Yao’s hand, lightly explained, "Diana is a girl who grew up spoiled by her family. She’s a bit headstrong, enjoys challenges, and possesses the innocence of a child. She doesn’t genuinely have feelings for me."
Rumors had spread in the school that Si Chen was titled the ’Ice Prince’. When Diana heard that Si Chen never indulged the beautiful girls at the academy, she developed a desire to conquer him, to validate her charm, not out of affection.
Si Chen is an adult whose goal is to learn as much as possible to serve his country and reunite with his family. He has no interest in dealing with her nonsense.
Tong Yao acknowledged his explanation with a long-drawn "Oh" and teasingly said, "So that’s how it is? Dr Si has quite a deep understanding of Diana."
Just as they were by the stairs, ready to go up, Si Chen hearing Tong Yao’s words, gently pushed her against the wall, and said with a faint smile, "I understand you even better."
