Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-954

The sound of someone snorting with laughter suddenly filled the air in the living room.

Wen Xinya subconsciously looked up to see that it was Yueze, who was laughing uncontrollably while clutching his stomach.

Instantly dumbfounded, Wen Xinya was momentarily stunned and unable to recover from the shock. She kept her eyes fixed on Si Yiyan, unable to take them away. Due to the fact that he had lost too much blood… he looked extremely pale and his veins could be seen clearly.

Yueze finally calmed himself down and stopped laughing. “Sis-in-law, I’ve brought Ninth Young Master home safely, so… you really don’t have to bully Xianghu anymore.”

Upon hearing Yueze’s words, Wen Xinya turned red and frantically stopped pinching Xu Xianghu’s ear. Pretending to be composed, she said, “Did I bully Xianghu? How did you know?”

Even Si Yiyan’s lips curled into a smile.

Staring at Wen Xinya with tears in his eyes, Xu Xianghu murmured, “Sis-in-law…”

Wen Xinya patted Xu Xianghu’s shoulder and glanced at him innocently. “Xianghu, tell us… did I bully you or not?”

Gu Yuehan smirked and said, “Sis-in-law… you’re obviously threatening him.”

Xu Xianghu shrugged his shoulders and stared at Wen Xinya’s squinting eyes. He was suddenly reminded of Si Yiyan’s habit of squinting whenever he threatened someone, after which he shivered and frantically shook his head. “No, you didn’t…”

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Xianghu was complaining about his ears aching, so I was just helping him rub them because I was bored!”

Even Liu Yanhua burst into laughter, unable to contain her amusement. She thought to herself, Missy… is it really appropriate for you to say that? Aren’t you afraid that Ninth Young Master will get jealous?

Si Yiyan moved his brows and glanced at Xu Xianghu. “Do your ears hurt?”

The pitiful Xu Xianghu stared at Si Yiyan before looking at the threatening expression on Wen Xinya’s face. He quickly clutched his stomach after an idea popped up in his head. “Boss, Sis-in-law, I can’t take it anymore… my stomach hurts!”

He then scurried away.

Everyone looked a little awkward.

Si Yiyan exclaimed coldly, “You’re so useless!”

Wen Xinya finally realized that Si Yiyan was back. She scrambled towards him agitatedly and asked worriedly, “Yan, you’re back. How did things go?”

Although she was asking him that question, her eyes were glued onto the bullet hole on his left arm. His sleeve had long been soaked in blood. Although it had been a long time, it was still bleeding incessantly. Why didn’t he just wrap it up to stop it from bleeding?

Tears welled up in Wen Xinya’s eyes.

Si Yiyan answered, “It’s settled.”

What he meant was, he had already wiped out all of the assassins. This time, the subordinates that he had brought along were all elites from Lucifer and his true confidants. Hence, they managed to annihilate the assassins effortlessly.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Did you suffer any other injuries?”

She finally took her eyes off Si Yiyan’s arm and scanned him from head to toe worriedly. She felt a huge sigh of relief after making sure that he did not sustain any other wounds.

Si Yiyans shook his head.

Wen Xinya said, “I’ve instructed the butler to get the medical equipment ready. Is everyone injured? I’ll ask the butler to attend to them.”

Si Yiyan held her hand and said, “Don’t worry, only four people got injured. The butler has already arranged for them to get their wounds cleaned.”

As soon as he returned to the mansion, the butler brought the four injured subordinates away to have their wounds cleaned. Clearly, arrangements had already been made beforehand and he knew that Wen Xinya was the one who made them.

Wen Xinya frantically said, “Everyone has gone to get their wounds cleaned. Why are you still loitering around the living room? Your wound is still bleeding!”

Wen Xinya began sobbing while staring at the wound on his arm. If it weren’t because of Gu Yuehan and the rest, she would have leaped into his arms and cried out loud willfully.

If it weren’t because of the tantrum that she threw and her insistence to alight from the car, the assaulter wouldn’t have had the chance to hurt him. She had been too willful and ended up causing him and his subordinates to be injured.

Yueze interrupted. “Sis-in-law, how could you be so insensitive? Boss specially came to the living room first because he wanted to give you peace of mind.”

Wen Xinya lost control of her emotions after hearing Yueze’s words. Teary-eyed, she glared at him and exclaimed, “I don’t need you to tell me that!”

She was no fool and obviously understood that. She had merely said something silly because she had lost control of her emotions all of a sudden.

Yueze touched his nose, thinking to himself that he had created trouble for himself. That shouldn’t be what happened! Sis-in-law should be acting like the female leads of television dramas and leaping towards Ninth Young Master while bawling loudly, shouldn’t she?

Si Yiyan smirked and said, “Don’t worry, I only hurt my arm. I’ll just get the doctor to remove the bullet and stitch me up. I’ll be fine after a few days.”

Wen Xinya was reminded of the time when he was stabbed by Shen Mengting two years ago. He was clearly severely injured back then and almost ended up crippling his arm. Yet, he still comforted her by telling her that it was just a minor injury.

Her throat turned dry and she said, “You clearly bled excessively.”

Gu Yuehan interrupted softly, “Don’t worry, Sis-in-law. Ninth Young Master’s injury is really not that severe. The bullet only damaged his skin. The wound is not too deep.”

He had watched how Si Yiyan took the bullet for her. Due to the fact that Si Yiyan was well prepared, the bullet only damaged his skin and his ligaments were not affected.

Wen Xinya felt much more at ease because she felt that Gu Yuehan’s words were reliable, unlike Xu Xianghu or Yueze.

Yueze giggled and said, “Sis-in-law, you ought to let Ninth Young Master get his wounds cleaned immediately. Although they’re not severe, he still bled excessively and that’s bad for his health! You have to know… men’s kidneys tend to become weaker… after losing too much blood.”

“Shut up!”

“Shut up!”

They chorused in unison.

Yueze touched his nose and thought to himself, I just told the truth!

Gu Yuehan suppressed the urge to cover his face. He finally knew why Yueze and Xu Xianghu had become a “gay couple” in China. They were both silly and senseless; truly a match made in heaven.

Noticing that she was almost crying, Si Yiyan quickly comforted her. “Gu Yuehan and I will go get my wound cleaned. Go get some rest. I’ll be back soon.”

It was already past eleven and she had had a long day. He reckoned that she must have been exhausted after the banquet in the day and the ton of trouble at night.

Wen Xinya sobbed and refuted. “Don’t try to chase me away, I want to accompany you! You’re not allowed to turn me down. Go and get your wound cleaned now.”

They had been chatting for a long while and he had already lost a massive amount of blood that would require a ton of nourishing to be replenished.
