Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 1880

Chapter 1880: Looks Like I Have Been Spoiling You Too Much

Wen Xinya snapped out of her unreasonable rage when she gazed at the sudden appearance of this man clad in a black shirt. His quiet figure fully displayed his power and authority, his sense of mystery and profoundness.

Black could look very elegant and distinguished, a mighty power overseeing all.

On the flip side, it could also be very cold and malevolent, harsh darkness destroying all.

Faced with Si Yiyan’s tall and imposing silhouette, as majestic as a huge mountain and emanating such a formidable aura—Wen Xinya couldn’t help shuddering all over.

He looked cool and composed, but Wen Xinya could feel a raging fire beneath that calm. Si Yiyan was infuriated.

It was now that Wen Xinya finally experienced the indomitable and compelling authority held by the leader of Lucifer.

Wen Xinya’s heart thumped wildly as her blood raced through her veins. She felt rather faint and dazed by his overwhelming aura.

“Yes, Ninth Young Master!”

Gu Yuehan’s boss had finally arrived, he couldn’t help giving a secret sigh of relief. At his boss’ command, he immediately fled. As Si Siyan’s most trusted assistant and bodyguard, Gu Yuehan’s very first lesson was how to flee whenever the opportunity arose.

Before he left, Gu Yuehan couldn’t help saying to Wen Xinya, “Sis-in-law, whatever misunderstanding there is between you and Ninth Young Master, take this chance to clarify everything face-to-face.”

It was a hint for her to choose the wisest course of action.

But he very much doubted whether sis-in-law would heed his advice. Looking at the fuming Ninth Young Master, he couldn’t help feeling extremely sorry for sis-in-law.

Ninth Young Master pampered sis-in-law. He would indulge her no matter how she much she fussed. But there was a saying: “past performance was no guarantee of future results”.

What was the Ninth Young Master’s biggest taboo and the limits of his tolerance level?

The close followers of Ninth Young Master knew all too well!

Sis-in-law said she wanted to break up and cancel the engagement. Wasn’t that like charging straight into a lion’s den?

As much as Ninth Young Master indulged sis-in-law, there was no way he would let her off easily for this.

After Gu Yuehan departed, only the two of them were left facing off each other in the spacious top floor of the Jiayuan Club.

After a moment’s pause, Si Yiyan commanded. “Come here!”

His voice was a mix of undeniable authority and brewing rage.

Wen Xinya’s body stiffened. Her obstinacy fought against her rationality. She wanted to comply with his command, but her legs remained stubbornly fixed to the ground.

She looked at him with clear eyes shining with willfulness, grievance, anger, and accusation.

Si Yiyan raised his brows slightly as a chilly countenance descended across his feature. “Being disobedient, mmm?”

It sounded like an innocuous question, but the iciness behind his words was spine-chilling.

Wen Xinya shuddered but forced herself to remain resolute. Her face had turned pale, but she still sneered. “I’m not your subordinate, why should I obey you?”

Her spine was ramrod straight.

Si Yiyan’s eyes dimmed and disappointment was written all over his face. At that, Wen Xinya couldn’t help admitting to herself that she had been too rash and blurted out things that she should never have said. It was natural for him to be angry.

But she had waited nearly two hours for him—shouldn’t he at least offer her an explanation?

Instead, he was trying to intimidate her and force her to yield to his authority, making it seem as if she was the one who was in the wrong.

Why stand there and suffer his wrath if she couldn’t get an explanation out of him?

Wen Xinya was in despair over this entire situation.

Si Yiyan rubbed his weary, throbbing temples. “Xinya, be a good girl. Stop making a scene!”

His tone was full of exasperation mixed with doting affection.

He was really very tired now!

They had reached the critical point of Lucifer’s bid to sweep out the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s influence in Russia. He should have been in Russia overseeing the operations.

But Xinya’s battle against the Li Corporation was just heating up, and this was also a major step toward eliminating the Korean-Chinese Alliance from Country Z. He was worried about leaving her to face this battle alone.

As a result, he had no choice but to leave Russia matters to Gu Yuexi.

However, although Si Siyan had confidence in Gu Yuexi and there were also Xu Xianghu and Yueze over there supporting him—the trio could not replace Si Siyan’s decision-making role in such a major operation.

He was well aware of how crafty the Korean-Chinese Alliance was. If they didn’t execute their plan carefully and completely eradicate the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s influence, it would only be a matter of time before the alliance re-emerged in the future.

This was why he had been especially meticulous.

He just had a six-hour meeting with Gu Yuexi and other core members of Lucifer. The meeting covered the various strategies, chain of commands and decrees, in their preparation for a major war.

His opponent was the Korean-Chinese Alliance. An extremely mysterious and shady group with power and influence that permeated all four corners of the earth.

He only knew of Xinya’s arrival after receiving Gu Yuehan’s message.

Her presence was the best nourishment to rejuvenate him from his current work stress and fatigue.

But he never expected to hear all those grudging accusations the moment he opened the door.

I want to cancel our engagement and break up with him. I don’t need an unfaithful man like him.

Si Yiyan’s heart stirred with anger.

No matter what had happened, regardless of what misunderstanding there was between them—those words completely enraged him.

She was being unreasonable, willful and obstinate. He had been with her for over a decade and knew her character inside out.

“You better calm down first and think of how you are going to explain yourself to me! Then maybe we can talk later on!”

Wen Xinya’s eyes were bloodshot with fury and her voice was like icicles. She turned to leave. At this point, she felt like communication between her and Si Yiyan was impossible. It was meaningless for them to continue wrangling now. They might even end up making things worse.

Si Yiyan gave an angry smirk. He strode over and grabbed her arm. “Looks like I have been spoiling you too much.” This was why she dared to behave so preposterously and even spouted nonsense such as canceling their engagement.

“What do you mean by that?” Wen Xinya tried to shrug off his hand, but his fingers remained locked around her wrists like iron shackles. In fact, the more she struggled, the tighter his grip became, until she finally cried out in pain. “Si Yiyan, you bastard. Let go of me!”

Not only did Si Yiyan refuse to release his hold, but he also lifted her over his shoulder and carried her into his office.
