Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1099

Wen Xinya slowly entered the living room slowly, after which a brown figure leaped towards her like a bolt of lightning. Before she could even react, she had already fallen onto the ground.

Although she was not exactly injured, she got a great fright.

The moistness of saliva made her laugh and she finally realized that Cleopatra was the one who leaped onto her.

Wen Xinya hugged Cleopatra in surprise and said, “Cleopatra, you’re back.”

Seeing that Wen Xinya was welcoming him with joy, Cleopatra rolled around on the carpet and wagged its tail to tease her.

Wen Xinya smiled radiantly while playing with Cleopatra.

As soon as Si Yiyan entered the living room, he was greeted with the sight of Wen Xinya playing with Cleopatra merrily. He rubbed his forehead, thinking that he had made the wrong decision by bringing Cleopatra home.

At this moment, Cleopatra pinned Wen Xinya onto the ground.

Si Yiyan strode towards Cleopatra and grabbed its tail.

The tail was the sensitive area of most animals. Hence, Cleopatra subconsciously dodged Si Yiyan’s attack.

Si Yiyan pulled Wen Xinya up from the ground. Noticing how messy her clothes were and how unkempt her hair was, his face turned pale and she stared at Cleopatra in a threatening manner. “What did I tell you before we came home?

“You’re not allowed to pin your mistress down, lick her or get too close to her. Don’t take up too much of her time, either.”

Those were obviously unfair rules that Cleopatra did not plan to abide by.

Cleopatra flaunted its teeth at Si Yiyan in a menacing manner.

Si Yiyan had a staredown with Cleopatra.

Despite being a fierce animal, Cleopatra still paled in comparison to the menacing Si Yiyan.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter.

Cleopatra began barking at Wen Xinya while wagging its tail and staring at her pitifully.

Finding Cleopatra to be extremely adorable, Wen Xinya walked towards it and stroked its head to comfort it.

Si Yiyan frowned and said to Cleopatra, “Go outside and play.”

Wen Xinya glowered at Si Yiyan and said, “Cleopatra has just returned. Don’t keep bullying it.”

She stroked Cleopatra’s glossy fur, feeling a little upset because she felt that Cleopatra had lost quite a bit of weight.

Si Yiyan’s face grew sullen and thought to himself, Why would I bully a dog? What a joke. Doesn’t Xinya realize that this lecherous dog is just pretending to be pitiful in order to win her sympathy?

Wen Xinya sat on the couch while Cleopatra crawled towards her and rubbed its furry head against her smooth calf. The ticklish sensation made Wen Xinya laugh out loud.

Si Yiyan glanced at Cleopatra while it laid sluggishly on the ground.

Cleopatra flaunted its teeth at Si Yiyan in a threatening manner.

This lecherous dog!

Si Yiyan’s temples began throbbing. Since when has this lecherous dog become so brazen?

Wen Xinya stroked Cleopatra’s head, after which it moaned in pleasure.

Si Yiyan’s face became petulant and he pretended to pull Wen Xinya into his arms nonchalantly. “How did the board meeting go?”

Wen Xinya immediately shifted her attention to Si Yiyan and began telling him about the board meeting. “We must hurry and stop the entertainment city project from proceeding.”

She only had three days to come up with a solution. Hence, she felt a little pressed for time.

Si Yiyan suddenly smiled peculiarly and said, “It’s actually very easy to stop this project.”

Wen Xinya held his gaze and immediately got the hint. She suddenly laughed and said, “My thoughts exactly.”

She thought the same as Si Yiyan.

Si Yiyan chuckled and pinned her down onto the couch before planting a kiss on her lips. After a long while, he let go of her and said, “Don’t worry. Leave this matter to me. I’ll get it settled as soon as possible. You’ll have to tend to the Wen Corporation, though.”

Xinya is becoming more and more meticulous and scheming. It seems she has learned a lot from the conspiracy lessons that she has been taking for the past month.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “There’s Secretary Cao to attend to the matters at the Wen Corporation, so there won’t be any problems.”

Not long after the board meeting ended, she called Secretary Cao and instructed him to check on the detailed situation of the Wen Corporation’s internal management as well as the sales data.

Si Yiyan leaned against the couch slowly and placed an arm around Wen Xinya’s shoulder dominantly, before resting her head on his chest. Si Yiyan looked rather heroic with Wen Xinya in his arms.

“There’s something else I need your help with you,” Wen Xinya said while laying sluggishly in Si Yiyan’s embrace. At the same time, Cleopatra rubbed its furry tail against her calf. She suddenly found everything peaceful and serene.

Si Yiyan expressed assent.

Wen Xinya said, “Grandpa has found out that someone secretly acquired the Wen Corporation’s shares from the stock market three months ago. Although the mastermind did it secretly, we might find some leads by investigating this thoroughly.”

No one could compare to Si Yiyan in terms of power and ability to obtain insider news.

Previously, she did not have to resort to using Si Yiyan’s power because she had Celestial Detective Agency to do the investigation for her. However, she had no choice but to do so now that she could not employ Celestial Detective Agency.

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Your Grandpa is really quick. I reckon the mastermind has already touched a sore spot of Old Mr. Wen’s and incurred his wrath.”

Old Mr. Wen was truly getting on in his years. The decade-something that he had spent living leisurely had eroded his willpower and ambition. He used to be stuck in a dilemma between Xia Ruya and Wen Xinya. Later on, he was again hesitant about Wen Haowen and things in the Wen Family became even more complicated after Old Mrs. Wen intervened. Hence, he had no choice but to keep his guard up. He had also instructed someone to keep an eye on the Wen Family a long time ago.

Although he did not agree to her request directly, Wen Xinya knew that he had already made the necessary arrangements, perhaps after he returned to the country. That was why he was so confident that he would be able to lure the mastermind out.

Wen Xinya glanced at Si Yiyan and asked, “Did you find any leads?”

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be able to catch them. We’ve just cast the net.”

If he did not make arrangements in secret, it would be impossible for the mastermind to acquire so much of the Wen Corporation’s loose shares within such a short period of time. He was just laying the foundation for a grand scheme.
