Chapter 1708 - Desert Rose
Chapter 1708: Desert Rose
The press had a field day reporting on Old Mr. Wen’s press conference, where he publicly announced the dismissal of Wen Haowen from his corporate duties at Wen Corporation, as well as the forced rescinding of his shares. More important was the announcement that he was cutting off all father-son ties with Wen Haowen and casting him out of the Wen Family.
On the second day, Old Mr. Wen held a shareholders’ meeting at the Wen Corporation. He appointed Secretary Cao as CEO, to be in charge of managing the entire company. Meanwhile, he didn’t make any mention of the fact that Wen Xinya was acting Chairman, implying that she would continue the responsibilities in this position.
The media and upper society were all stunned over his decisions.
Secretary Cao had been with Old Mr. Wen for many years and was highly regarded by him. He was well-respected within the board of directors and the shareholders also acknowledged his skillful and efficient way of handling matters. As a result, it was agreeable to all that Old Mr. Wen appointed him as CEO.
However, everyone also knew that Old Mr. Wen had assigned Secretary Cao to Wen Xinya a long time ago. He had become Wen Xinya’s most capable right-hand man.
As a result, Old Mr. Wen’s actions hinted that Wen Xinya was being gradually groomed to be the next leader of the Wen Corporation.
He was already paving the way for her by getting rid of Wen Haowen and appointing Secretary Cao to CEO.
Old Mr. Wen had announced during the press conference that she was the Wen Family’s rightful heir. He was now using actions to back his proclamation.
Wen Xinya immediately noticed some changes to the living room the moment she returned to the mansion.
“Come over here!” Si Yiyan ordered.
Wen Xinya pouted as she slowly made her way toward Si Yiyan.
Si Yiyan stepped forward to lift her up and brought her over to the floor-length windows. He drew aside the red cloth covering a display platform. “Guess what is this?”
Wen Xinya stared in astonishment at the scene before her.
It was a one-meter tall amber-colored desert rose. Its rich color was like the first glimpse of the sun on a winter morning. The multiple roses in various stages of bloom had an otherworldly exquisiteness. Especially the topmost rose, which portrayed a flower in perfect full bloom.
“This is the desert rose, a specialty of desert countries. Further, this amber-colored version can only be mined from the Red Sands and is very expensive.” Si Yiyan held her waist as he whispered by her ear.
It had been his good fortune this time to encounter such a premium desert rose and be able to offer it as a token of his everlasting love to his most beloved woman.
“This is just too stunning for words!” Wen Xinya couldn’t help exclaiming.
A lifeless desert rose looked far more startling than a fresh rose.
Because this was a rose that could only be formed after millions of years of cultivation in the desert. No wonder Middle Eastern youths used it to represent their love. It was indeed a very romantic notion.
“Do you like it?” Si Yiyan asked.
Although it was quite clear from her reaction and expression that she loved it, he still wanted to hear it from her lips.
“I love it, I just love it.” Wen Xinya leaned into his embrace and wrapped her arms around his neck. “This is the most beautiful gift I have ever received!”
Si Yiyan had presented her with a promise that would never wilt or fade away. How could she not like it?
Si Yiyan hugged her waist. “How do you intend to reward me?”
He didn’t give gifts for nothing. It was only right to give a present in return when one received a gift.
Wen Xinya couldn’t help glaring at him. “How do you want me to reward you?”
She knew it. She knew his presents all came with a price. But on account of his good performance, she would reward him.
Si Yiyan thought about it and his grip around her waist tightened, pulling their bodies tightly together. “Feed me camel’s milk. Just like how I fed you in bed previously!”
Si Yiyan felt somewhat aroused as he recalled that night of debauchery.
Remembering the taste of that gamy but sweet camel’s milk, as well as the sight of that luscious white liquid trickling down the corners of her mouth and down her neck—he couldn’t help feeling somewhat dry and thirsty now.
Wen Xinya flushed. She chided him. “What are you thinking about all day!”
Si Yiyan had been back for three days and they had been sticking to each other the whole time, except when there was some major business to attend to. And as long as they were together, he would behave lasciviously. It might not have always led to the bed, but their mutual flirting and teasing was even more amorous than the act of sex itself.
Wen Xinya was somewhat unable to cope with it all.
“I am thinking of you!” Si Yiyan answered as a matter-of-fact. He nibbled at her ear as he added. “I am thinking of ravishing you!”
Food in desert countries comprised mainly of dates, camel’s milk, saffron spices, caviar, etc. All of which were aphrodisiacs.
After three months of all those nourishing foods and nowhere to vent his excess energy, all he could think about since returning home was making love to her!
“Nasty scoundrel!”
Wen Xinya reprimanded sternly, but affection flashed across her eyes.
Si Yiyan had physically demonstrated to her the effects of camel’s milk. She had no doubts about its effectiveness.
“Middle Eastern men have taught me many secret ways to manage a wife. I have tried them out, but I have yet to see their effectiveness!” Si Yiyan brushed his fingers gently across the sensitive part of her waist.
In the Middle East, it was typical for a man to marry several wives.
However, it was very rare to see any domestic troubles in their households, unlike that of Country Z’s ancient times, when the wives and concubines might conflict with one another. On one hand, it was because women held a very low status in the Middle East. On the other hand, it was also because Middle Eastern men knew the secret to managing their wives.
Dominating a woman meant dominating her body!
As a result, Middle Eastern men had their own little tricks in amorous matters.
He indeed learned a lot.
Wen Xinya’s entire body grew warm. “I can’t be bothered with you.”
At that, she tried to struggle out of his grasp.
Since Si Yiyan’s return, he had indeed become more practiced and skillful in bed. So he had been trying out his new tricks on her.
Si Yiyan tightened his grip on her, refusing to let her go. He whispered by her ear. “Are you going to let me ravish you?”
Mmm, his words held a threatening tone.
“No!” Wen Xinya blushed deeply and turned aside from him.
Did he think she was also like him, without shame!
“Then I will force myself upon you!” With that, he lifted Wen Xinya up and carried her to the bedroom.
Mmm, he had to increase their frequency of sex in order to improve their chances of conceiving.
“Ah…” Wen Xinya cried out as she pummeled him.
This scoundrel was completely out of control.
