Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Wen Xinya could barely remember the process of what happened. The only thing etched into her mind was the feeling of her body pressed forcefully against the window glass on a cold night of Moscow, which felt like a sort of torture.

After they were done, Si Yiyan quietly tidied up her clothes. He then pulled her into his embrace and said in a hoarse voice, “Wen Xinya, I am only a man!”

His words were not clear, yet Wen Xinya could hear his pent-up frustration. He was trying to beg for her forgiveness for his actions today in his own way.

Wen Xinya replied softly, “I know you won’t ever hurt me.”

She was afraid she could feel his complex expression of love from his actions, which was why she forced herself to bear with them.

Si Yiyan glanced at her calmly without saying a word.

Wen Xinya could not understand why he was upset. Since he was unwilling to tell her, she did not want to over ask him either. However, her desire to console him was not shaken. Slowly, she fished out the present she bought for him today from her pocket. She put the gold necklace around his neck and clasped the chain before saying, “Turn around and let me see if it looks good!”

Si Yiyan was stunned for a second by Wen Xinya’s action. The cold chain on his neck brought him to his senses. Subconsciously, he placed his hand on the smooth yet firm chain.

“Will it kill you to cooperate with me!” Wen Xinya pouted after she did not get a reaction out of him. Since the mountain won’t move for me, I’ll move it myself. She went to stand in front of Si Yiyan and stared at the dragon pendant on his chest.

“This is…” Si Yiyan said, a little overwhelmed.

Wen Xinya replied nonchalantly, “My present for you!”

She bought so many things for her friends today, so naturally, she could not leave out Si Yiyan! It was not often she would give Si Yiyan a present. As such, she took the chance during this trip to compensate him.

Si Yiyan was left speechless. He was upset today, very upset!

When Wen Xinya was shopping, she remembered to buy a gift for everyone. However, he was the only one left out, and he felt extremely displeased. The moment he saw the mountain of presents when they returned to the mansion, he could not maintain his usual calm demeanor and felt really frustrated.

Wen Xinya, unaware that Si Yiyan’s mood had taken a 180-degree turn, asked happily, “Do you like my gift?”

Si Yiyan finally looked at the dragon pendant on his chest.

It was a piece of Alashan water agate. Its purplish-grey colour was simple and elegant, yet it looked resplendent. It was a little translucent as if there was a layer of purplish-grey fog covering the pendant, giving it an air of mystery. The most breathtaking part of the pendant was the skilled craftwork that went into carving it. On the round water agate, there was a mighty dragon carved onto it with eyes so ferocious it looked majestic and dignified.

The Alashan agate was solid and colorful. Only after years of enduring the harsh wind and rain could the fascinating gemstone be formed. It was precisely because of the years of hardship it had to go through that the agate dragon pendant gave off such a vivid dignified aura.

When Wen Xinya did not get a reply, she tugged at his arm and cried out, “Do you like it or not? Tell me!”

Since it was the first time she ever gave Si Yiyan an accessory, she was anxious to know if he liked it or not!

Si Yiyan said softly, “I love it. No matter what you give me, I’ll love it.”

He felt a gush of gratitude and happiness. There was no present that could make him happier than this. It was just like her to be so unpredictable and surprising him like this.

Just a few moments ago, he was feeling unhappy as he thought that he was the only one Wen Xinya left out and did not buy a gift for. Unexpectedly, she actually gave him such a huge surprise. He suddenly recalled that earlier on when they were choosing jewelry, she specially made him go and buy some roasted potatoes from across the street. She must have had bought it then.

In order to surprise him, she had carefully planned out everything.

Wen Xinya was on cloud nine. “I remember that the totem of the Xiasi Group is a dragon, so the moment I saw this dragon pendant, I knew it would suit you.”

She happened to chance upon that Alashan agate dragon pendant back when they were at the jewelry store. She knew the moment she laid eyes on it that it was the perfect gift for Si Yiyan. In fact, finding this gift was worth enduring all the flirtatious ladies trying to pick Si Yiyan up.

In order to give Si Yiyan a surprise, she had to lure him away and buy it discreetly.

Si Yiyan looked at the dragon pendant that was hanging from his neck. It was firm and smooth in his hand. The high-quality material gave off a natural shine that was pure and glowing. The translucent water agate was perfect in every way, something that could only be achieved by meticulous and skilled craftwork.

Wen Xinya said softly, “Since a long time ago, agate is a symbol of beauty, happiness, fortune and wealth that suits both men and women. Among the seven treasures in Buddhism, agate signifies longevity, bravery, and luck. Along with the agate, I’m giving you all the blessings that it represents too.”

He had degraded the value of many pieces of jewelry such as diamonds, gemstones, and opals. Surely, he would not despise agates too, right? The beauty and quality of agates were the results of many years of the natural rain and wind molding it. It was well suited for Si Yiyan.

Although she was not a sweet talker like Si Yiyan who could transform the tacky gold bracelet into a beautiful flower, she genuinely wished for him to possess all the blessings that the agate represented.

Si Yiyan croaked. “I love it… love it!”

Consumed by his happiness, he was lost for words. He could only repeat the same few words to try and express to her exactly how touched he was.

Wen Xinya said with a broad grin on her face, “Then be sure to wear it all the time. Don’t take it off.”

She stared at the dragon pendant hanging from Si Yiyan’s neck. The majestic dragon complemented his grandeur, making his dignified aura even more astounding. Dragons symbolized incomparable might and power.

“Mmm!” Si Yiyan made the sound in agreement, before pulling Wen Xinya into an embrace.

Wen Xinya could sense that his shift in mood was so quick and drastic that a suspicion grew in her head. Could it be that he was angry because…

She thought of the mountain of presents in the living room and laughed out of the blue. She tightened her arms around his waist and said, “You are not allowed to be angry at me like that again. Otherwise, I will ignore you.”

She was smart enough to not mention any details. Men! You have to let them save face. 

“Mmm!” Si Yiyan nodded.

The mood between them was now warm and sweet.
