Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1272

Si Yiyan headed to Ninth-Heaven together with Wen Xinya at eight in the evening.

They no longer had to carry any hopes for Gu Junling to select a different place for their gatherings. Throughout the years of their friendship, Ninth-Heaven seemed to be the only place they had ever gone to for a gathering.

Actually, Gu Junling felt that there was no need to look for another place since they would only meet to chat, eat, drink and bicker with each other, all of which they could do at Ninth-Heaven. Besides, he could save a ton of money and he could not find a better place than Ninth-Heaven.

Wen Xinya was dressed in a light blue woolen sweater and a pair of dark blue casual trousers, paired with navy crystal-embellished boots. She also had on a full set of pink diamonds, exuding a sweet and youthful vibe while still staying elegant.

Si Yiyan’s outfit was rather funky. He was clad in a white shirt and a navy cardigan, accompanied by a light blue scarf that was folded into a triangle. He exuded an inexplicable elegance. The hems of his dark blue trousers were also curled up, revealing his light blue leggings. His matching pair of navy leather shoes also gave him exquisite masculinity.

There were diamonds on his light blue cuff links which were exquisite and captivating. He had a Patek Phillipe watch on his wrist and a pink ring on his finger.

As soon as he and Wen Xinya entered, everyone realized that their outfits were color coordinated and their styles were similar too. In fact, even their accessories were matching and of the same make.

Si Yiyan managed to express his love and possessiveness over Wen Xinya in such a unique and uncompromising manner.

A sudden silence filled the air in the room.

Zhou Tianyu was the first to recover from the shock. She exclaimed merrily, “Xinya, you guys are here. We were waiting for you!”

Xu Tongxuan chimed in. “You guys are the last ones to arrive, so you have to be punished!”

The atmosphere became much livelier.

Si Yiyan smiled and explained to everyone, “I’m really sorry. We’re late.” He then gazed at Wen Xinya affectionately and said, “Women always take a long time to get ready to go out.”

Although his words were like a scolding, he did not sound angry at all.

Wen Xinya glared at him and pinched his waist while thinking to herself, Is it my fault for being late? I had clearly already changed into my clothes. Who was the one who insisted that I change into the outfit that he chose instead? That’s why the delay happened.

Wen Xinya thought that she had been secretive and sneaky enough. However, everyone in the room had actually already noticed what she did.

Everyone simply saw it as a romantic gesture between her and Si Yiyan. It was proof of their intimate relationship.

Silence filled the room again.

Gu Junling suddenly broke the silence and laughed out loud. “Haha, you understand too. Women are indeed troublesome. Before going out, they have to cake on three layers of makeup, try on several outfits and pick their accessories carefully.”

Ling Qingxuan chimed in. “Little Eunuch Gu, you seem to be very experienced with women!”

Han Mofeng kicked him and chided. “Hey, can you stop being such a troublemaker? Little Eunuch Gu had a tough battle for more than a decade and his efforts are about to come to fruition soon. He’s had a hard time, so why are you making things hard for him? Apart from Tianyu, he has never been with another woman in his life.”

They then began teasing each other again.

Of course, Xu Zhenyu did not join in.

Xu Zhenyu had never seen Wen Xinya being dressed in such a sweet and youthful outfit before. When she stood beside Si Yiyan, she looked just like a meek little lady who was head over heels in love.

The calm, rational, pretty, elegant and intelligent girl actually had a meek and submissive side to her too.

Is it because of him?

Xu Zhenyu suddenly looked up and glared daggers at Si Yiyan.

Si Yiyan’s long and neat brows seemed like two shiny swords that made him look rather menacing and stern. He glared back at him, and it was like a clash between planets. However, no one discovered their eye contact at all.

Xu Zhenyu grabbed the glass of wine in front of him and gulped it in one go.

“Xu-er, why are you drinking alone?” Wen Xinya asked, staring at Xu Zhenyu, who seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight within 20 days. She reckoned that he must have had a tough mission this time.

Xu Zhenyu tightened his grip on his glass…

Gu Junling kicked Xu Zhenyu before pulling him up from the couch. “Hehe, Xu-er, this is Xinya’s boyfriend, Si Yiyan. We’ve all met him before, but you haven’t…”

At this moment, Gu Junling was almost pale. He wouldn’t have done that if Xu Zhenyu insisted on seeing Wen Xinya’s boyfriend.

Xu Zhenyu interjected in annoyance. “We’ve met before!”

Gu Junling asked in bewilderment, “What?”

Si Yiyan explained coldly, “We’ve met each other prior to this.”

Gu Junling was a little dumbfounded. He knew that they had seen each other before but… the point was, they did not have to be so explicit and make things awkward!

Xu Zhenyu said, “We’ve met three or four times before.”

Si Yiyan remained silent.

Xu Zhenyu’s military uniform was a little messy because of Gu Junling. He stood straight and adjusted his uniform, which made him look burly, austere and dominant.

Exuding a mature composure that he had gained from his military experience, he reached his hand out to Si Yiyan and said, “Let’s meet formally. I’m Xu Zhenyu, the military Major of the base camp.”

“Si Yiyan, you may call me Ninth Si. I’m Xinya’s boyfriend,” Si Yiyan said composedly, clad in the color blue which made him look noble and refined.

His dominance and poise were rather astonishing, and it was as if mountains could not move him either. He was composed, graceful, gentlemanly and mysterious.

What was going on?

They looked at each other in shock and dismay.
