Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1118

The entertainment city project was rejected, and the news had spread. However, the official documents had not yet been issued. The sister company still maintained operations as per normal. In fact, they were not affected.

The more impatient the other party got, the more chances of Wen Xinya winning.

The grapes in Lishan manor’s garden were all ripe and sweet.

Wen Xinya held onto Si Yiyan while she picked grapes in the yard.

Si Yiyan laughed. “If you want to eat grapes, ask a servant to pick them for you. Why pick them yourself?”

Si Yiyan looked up at the young girl standing on a ladder, holding a pair of scissors and picking grapes. Her head was slightly raised, and the sun shone through the gap between the large grape leaves and shone on her face.

However…

He frowned. Standing on the ladder was still dangerous, after all.

Wen Xinya smiled. “Asking the maid to pick, where is the fun if you don’t yourself? In the elite society, farmhouse traveling is popular. Experiencing doing it yourself is where the excitement lies!”

When Wen Xinya said she wanted to go farming, it was not just all talk. Yesterday she already had people in her backyard help her dig out a patch of soil. She found people who were proficient in planting and farming, and she now had fertile land. She could plant strawberry seedlings into the field. In the spring, she would have strawberries.

Wen Xinya’s mouth could not help it but water at the thought of strawberries.

Si Yiyan laughed. “Autumn is harvesting season. If you want to play, we will go to play for two days before school starts.”

The farmhouse sounded very interesting. If she wanted to play, he would naturally be willing to accompany her. During the long summer vacation, he took her to Russia to play for a few days. Once she came back, she had to deal with the entertainment city and her studies.

With this in mind, Si Yiyan sighed.

Wen Xinya smiled. “I was planning to plant strawberries in the next few days. I do not have time to go to farmhouses. How about we just stay at home?’

Wen Xinya placed the freshly picked grapes in the basket. They were glistening beautifully under the sun.

Wen Xinya felt the joy of harvest. “The grapes I sent out in the past were Grampy’s favorite. I will send out more later.”

Si Yiyan smiled, because no matter what, she would always think of Grampy first.

Wen Xinya said, “As for the rest, we will try to make wine with them later and give Zhou Tianyu and the rest a bottle each.”

She always waned to make wine before, except Si Yiyan said that the grapes were not suitable. This time, the grapes were not only sweet but also of excellent quality.

Si Yiyan laughed. “I thought you didn’t like wine?”

This girl… the way she drank red wine could deceive everyone in the world, but the truth was that she did not like red wine at all and instead, preferred bitter beer.

However, he was the only one who knew this about her.

In private, he also taught her some of the world’s top wines and labeling. On some occasions, this knowledge was needed.

Wen Xinya pouted. “I just want to experience it on my own. Can’t I?”

When making one’s own wine, there was no need for it to be perfect. It would taste pretty good when your own fruits became wine.

Si Yiyan looked at her lips and they look like peach blossoms in March, soft and beautiful. “As long as you like it.”

Wen Xinya could not help but smile. She looked at the long stream of grapes and quickly leaned forward to cut them.

Si Yiyan watched her movements, and could not help but tremble with fear. “It’s not safe to climb a ladder, so be careful.”

Wen Xinya immediately responded, “With you around there is nothing to be scared of!”

As soon as she said those words, Wen Xinya reached out for the grape but her feet missed a step on the ladder. She slipped off the ladder and her body twisted.

“Ah—!” Wen Xinya could not help it and screamed in pain. Her eyes closed as she muttered, “Si Yiyan, save me…” She felt her body lose balance and she fell towards the ground.

The pain which she imagined did not come.

She smelled Si Yiyan’s delicate bamboo fragrance, along with the sweet smell of ripe grapes. They mixed into an intoxicating elegant and pleasant smell which brought warmth to her heart.

Wen Xinya closed her eyes as she was filled with fear and held tightly onto Si Yiyan’s shoulders.

After awhile, she could not hear Si Yiyan’s voice and began to panic. At this time… shouldn’t Si Yiyan be speaking to comfort her?

Thinking of this, in too much suspense, she slowly opened an eye to look at him.

She thought that she managed to do it with great secrecy. In actual fact, a certain someone had already caught sight of her action and found it really amusing.

Her slightly opened eyes could not see anything except Si Yiyan’s throat. There were large arteries protruding from his neck—the lines were strong and prominent, surrounding this throat. There was something sexy about it…

She could not help it and quietly opened another eye, and saw Si Yiyan’s jawline. In her mind, she pictured herself kissing Si Yiyan and imagined how strong his jawline would be.

Her heart felt a little uneasy, and she opened her eyes to see how brilliant his lips were.

Hence…

Their gazes met.

Wen Xinya felt a little guilty and could not help but laugh. “Hehe, oh.. you are so good, I thought I would fall but you caught me!”

Si Yiyan also pursed his lips and said, “Don’t you dare to be mischievous in the future.”

With him, naturally, she would not let herself fall.

When she fell into his arms, his heartbeat could not help but rush.

Wen Xinya laughed and said, “How can one be so mischievous, it was just an accident…”

Si Yiyan stared and said, “You still dare to pout?”

Having been told off by him, Wen Xinya’s gut weakened and she pouted. “Well, I’m wrong. Don’t scare me, I’m timid.”

The situation was overwhelming.

Wen Xinya was weak in her guts, Si Yiyan was too strong.

Si Yiyan laughed and said, “I think you are daring.”

Wen Xinya pouted again with dissatisfaction.
