Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1290

Teacher Ji had prepared plenty of information regarding the Milan international jewelry design competition which she could take reference from. Wen Xinya was told to prepare a preliminary design sketch within a month, after which Teacher Ji would mail it to the committee of the Milan World Expo.

Wen Xinya had already completed the mandatory modular credits that she would have to fulfill throughout the four years of her university course. Now that she no longer had to attend lessons or sit for any examinations, one month was more than enough for her to prepare for the competition.

Wen Xinya left the campus with a stack of notes in her arms. As soon as she did, she caught sight of Si Yiyan’s car parked by the entrance. She was extremely astonished because Si Yiyan had only gone to Harbor City a few days ago and even told her that he would be away for a week. Yet, he returned after a few days without even informing her.

The door of the car was opened and Si Yiyan alighted, dressed in a white silk shirt that was soft and bright like the moon. There was also a golden flower tied to his waist, which trailed all the way up to his shoulder. The leaves of the design seemed to have spread open and crept up to his collar, making him look radiant and classy.

The shirt was designed and tailored from scratch by Wen Xinya. It was the one and only piece in the world.

Every thread encapsulated her affection for Si Yiyan.

The clothes in Si Yiyan’s closet were gradually replaced by the clothing, ties, belts and cuff links that she had designed.

Si Yiyan strode towards her and grabbed the stacks of documents from her.

The students who walked past them were all charmed and bedazzled by Si Yiyan’s dashing good looks and alluring aura. His grace and classiness were like jade and some of the brazen girls even screamed and swooned over him.

Wen Xinya could not help but purse her lips with joy in her eyes that glistened like the stars in the sky. “Master Si, could you not show up on campus while keeping such a high profile all the time? If this goes on, the girls are going to be green with envy and I’m going to be killed by their begrudging gazes.”

In the past three years, Si Yiyan had been appearing beside her using the identity of Old Mr. Mo’s student.

Hence, Si Yiyan often showed up at Capital University and would catch the attention of many students during every visit. Wen Xinya had already gotten used to it.

Si Yiyan placed an arm around her shoulder and said, “No, they wouldn’t. They’d only think that we’re a match made in heaven because we’re compatible with each other in terms of looks. They’ll also give us their blessings and wish us a blissful life. They’ll hope that we give birth to a child soon.”

Wen Xinya was extremely popular and admired by many in Capital University.

Wen Xinya almost choked on her saliva. She glowered at him and exclaimed, “Don’t spout nonsense!”

Wen Xinya had no idea what she should say about giving birth to a child soon.

During her second year of university, Si Yiyan began appearing in front of the students in Capital University and he was gradually known to everyone as the mysterious senior who was courting her. They thought that the two of them were keeping a secret.

Once, Si Yiyan was in school to pick her up and Wen Xinya happened to run into a close classmate of hers, who then teased the two of them, claiming that she hoped for their senior-junior relationship to blossom so that they could give birth to a child soon.

Back then, Wen Xinya was incredibly shy and embarrassed.

To her surprise, Si Yiyan even thanked her. “Thank you for your well wishes!” he said.

Soon, word about the matter spread like wildfire throughout Capital University and everyone started to label Si Yiyan as the senior whom Wen Xinya would be bearing children with. In the end, everyone would tease her about it every now and then.

Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya got inside the car while everyone stared at them.

After helping her buckle her safety belt, Si Yiyan started the engine.

Wen Xinya asked, “Didn’t you say that you’d be gone for a week?”

The Xiasi Group operated some businesses in Harbor City where the societal system was rather complicated, despite how well developed they were. Si Yiyan intended to move the core of Xiasi Group’s development to China, while Harbor City would become an important part of their development.

Si Yiyan gazed at her and said smilingly, “I was afraid that you might miss me, so I tried my best to finish everything as soon as possible. I came back as soon as I was done.”

Humans tended to get used to others teasing them. Hence, Wen Xinya remained composed and answered, “Are you sure it’s not because of how dearly you miss me?”

She could tell from his crumpled clothes and dusty leather shoes that he had just disembarked from the plane. She reckoned that he must have gone home first and headed straight to the university after finding out that she was not in.

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Who was the one who said that she missed me when we spoke over the phone last night? She even said… that she can’t sleep without me…”

Since she already misses me so dearly, I can’t disappoint her, can I!?!

Wen Xinya gritted her teeth angrily, thinking that she must have said those mushy words because of how annoyed she was by him. “You must tell me when you’re coming home next time. I’ll pick you up at the airport.”

Although Si Yiyan had a private jet, he preferred to board commercial planes because he usually kept a low profile. He would only fly by private jet when he had to go to a faraway place. Besides… he had never liked the idea of getting her to pick him up at the airport.

Si Yiyan asked smilingly, “I just saw that your notes were related to the Milan Expo international jewelry design competition. Are you planning to take part?”

In the past two years, Ji Shihan had been sending Wen Xinya for various jewelry design competitions and Si Yiyan naturally understood her intentions for doing so. He sneered and thought to himself, Ji Shihan has really belittled Xinya.

However… he was rather glad and supportive of Ji Shihan’s wholehearted devotion and painstaking efforts that she had put into teaching Wen Xinya.

He was extremely proud of Wen Xinya for finally making her debut in the international design scene!

Wen Xinya answered, “Teacher Ji gave this invitation card to me. It’s a precious opportunity for me.”

The Milan Expo International Jewelry Design Competition was held once every three years and it was a gateway to the international jewelry design scene. If she were to miss this opportunity, she would have to wait three years for another shot at it. She wanted to make use of this opportunity to secure a footing in the international scene as soon as possible. Her next goal would then be the French Vogue International Jewelry Design Competition that would be happening in five years’ time.

Si Yiyan was well aware of her goals. He said, “Xinya, not only are you naturally gifted, you’re very lucky too.”

He had never denied that luck played a crucial role in success too.

Wen Xinya managed to clinch the opportunity to compete in major international competitions and five years was just enough for her to prepare for the French Vogue International Jewelry Design Competition. By the time she went on the path towards the peak of her success, she would have been shaped by her experiences and become even more outstanding than she already was. He was sure that she would take the world by storm when she brought her rich experience and glory to the stage of the French Vogue International Jewelry Design Competition.
