Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1114

Wen Xinya was not the least bit surprised by Grandpa’s suspicions towards her. The Wen Corporation was managed by Grandpa for most of his life and everything he oversaw was important. Furthermore, it had only been three years since she had returned to the Wen Family. Although Grandpa approved of her, it was mostly since there was no conflict of interest with the Wen Corporation. Grandpa was willing to place a huge amount of trust in her and allow her to perform freely, but it was still within the limits of his control.

When his approval and trust became involved with the mysterious Jiayuan Club, distrust was bound to arise since it was out of his control.

After all, she was only the daughter of the Wen Family for three years!

The Wen Family had taken care of Xia Ruya for 15 years, yet she was still a vicious and ungrateful person.

In just three years, was it possible to tame a rebellious little punk from the streets?

Exactly, just a little punk!

Wen Xinya could remember that when Grandpa found her, she thought he was a bad person and bit his hand forcefully. At that time, Grandpa said to her, “You are indeed a little punk who has not been taught.”

Ever since she was reborn, Wen Xinya knew that regardless of whichever lives she lived, the relationship she had with the Wen Family would never be pure.

…

“Xinya, do you know what my greatest wish was when I was young?” Si Yiyan asked as he walked over to her and stood side by side. There were no additional movements, yet the two of them looked as if they were a match made in heaven standing together.

Wen Xinya raised her head in curiosity. Under the dim light, he looked elegant and refined. “Wasn’t your dream to be a generous philanthropist?”

She smiled brightly. She would always joke about how Si Yiyan was a cowardly, weak, soft-hearted and kind kid in the past, and would mock him anytime she had the chance.

Si Yiyan did not mind being made fun of by her and only smiled.

Wen Xinya, who had her interest caught by his words, could not resist asking, “What was your dream when you were young?”

Si Yiyan replied, “Hmm, I wanted to be like those reclusive nobles, to find an auspicious land to plant bamboo and become a respected zither master. I wanted to be able to live freely without any restrictions and play zither under the moonlight among the bamboos.”

When he was five, he was taught to play the zither by his father. At that time, the one thing he had the most interaction with was the zither. Before he turned seven, he was a cowardly crybaby who could never match up to his father’s foster child. The only thing he could do was to play the zither. As such, he naturally had the dream of becoming a zither master.

Wen Xinya snorted with laughter. Thinking about the soaring phoenix zither he had given her which was as good as the famous zithers played by masters, she said, “Seems like this dream of yours was not meant to be fulfilled.”

Si Yiyan smiled and pulled her into his embrace. “Xinya, that’s why no matter who you are, you’ll always lose some and gain some as we live in a materialistic society. See… although in the upper class there seem to be many people who live freely without restraints, the moment an opportunity comes by they would not hesitate to use their marriages and even their lives to repay their own family. Kinship is bounded by the number of benefits they can get.”

Si Yiyan looked at her and said in all seriousness.

Wen Xinya suddenly came to a realization that he was trying to console her. She could not hold back her laughter and teased. “Which eye of yours decided that I needed to be consoled?”

After living through her past life, she knew clearly that some things were just not meant to be.

Ever since she was reborn, she had already received many.

Kinships, friendships, relationships, careers… She had everything.

Sometimes she even feared that she was being too greedy by having too many things.

Si Yiyan glanced over her beautiful features and smiled. “Mmm, you don’t need to be consoled.”

Xinya had always been transparent, and could also see through many things. As such, she was not deluded and knew that nobody had pure intentions towards her in the Wen Family. He was afraid that she would be upset as a result.

Honestly, he was just being overly concerned!

Wen Xinya replied seriously, “I know what I want. I won’t go after something I can’t have.”

Just as Grandpa had said, she was just a little punk. She was originally a lone wolf who roamed around freely. However, her so-called blood ties took away her sharp fangs and claws, ruining her and causing her death.

She had already made the mistake once and came to her senses.

Through Si Yiyan’s pupils that were as black as ink, a reflection of a lone girl’s silhouette could be seen.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Yan, the entertainment city project has been put on hold. It’s all thanks to you.”

If he had not provided her with the documents, the shareholders would not have made such a quick decision. She predicted that in not more than a week, the board would announce the termination of the entertainment city project.

Si Yiyan wrapped his arms around her waist out of the blue and nibbled on her ear. He chuckled and said, “Since that’s the case, how do you plan on thanking me? Words alone are meaningless.”

His voice was husky and flirtatious. It sounded as gorgeous as a violin.

Wen Xinya was suddenly lifted up and she wrapped her arms around his neck instinctively. She glared at him and said, “How dare you ask for a reward. As my boyfriend, isn’t your responsibility to help me solve my problems?”

Si Yiyan laughed. “That may be so, but how can you expect your horse to run fast if you only feed it a little? There’s no such good deal in the world. If you want a man to be devoted to you, you’ll have to ‘fill him up’ first.”

He said it gleefully.

Wen Xinya was speechless. It was true that ever since she moved to live with her Grampy, they were not as free as they were in the past. Recently, she had been busy with the business regarding the Wen Corporation and did not “fill him up” for a few days already.

Acting ignorant, Wen Xinya said sarcastically, “Oh, then does that mean you are not devoted to me?”

She purposely gritted her teeth and flashed her pearly whites in a threatening manner, as if she would pounce on him and bite him if he dared to say yes.

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Of course I am devoted to you.”

Wen Xinya was extremely pleased by his response.

Si Yiyan gently kissed her on the lips, before whispering into her ear, “However, isn’t your loss if you own a horse but don’t ‘ride’ it for a long time? This will also affect the horse’s overall ‘performance’. Am I wrong?”

As he said that, he started to fondle her.

Wen Xinya did not know how to describe someone as shameless as him. She declared. “It’s my horse, I’ll decide if I want to ride it or not!”

Si Yiyan pushed her against the bed and punished her by nibbling on her lips. “No, horses have rights too. You must respect a horse’s rights. Since you own it, you have to ride it.”

The room heated up rapidly, and their clothes were removed in the midst of their entanglement. Before Wen Xinya had the chance to react, Si Yiyan hugged her and flipped them such that their positions were switched. The girl on top with the guy below, how shameful!
