Chapter 334: 334
After school, Gu Yuehan sent Wen Xinya to Lishan Mansion where she chatted with Si Yiyan for a while . However, he had to excuse himself to answer a video conference which cropped up at the last minute . Hence, Wen Xinya decided to sit on the couch and play with her mobile phone to kill her boredom .
Feeling lonely, Cleopatra paced back and forth behind her, occasionally showing its teeth while facing her .
Wen Xinya pushed Cleopatra’s head away and said, “Cleopatra, don’t disturb me . Go and play on your own elsewhere!”
Cleopatra continued to walk in circles around her, reluctant to leave .
Wen Xinya had no choice but to say, “Cleopatra, be obedient . I don’t have the time to play with you now . Go and play on your own!”
Cleopatra then wagged his tail and played cute before scurrying off reluctantly .
Wen Xinya looked through the Ai Shang Group stocks, only to discover that they had suffered a drastic plunge . Shock was written all over her face .
Ai Shang was a top brand in the nation which lots of wealthy clients from the upper-class society enjoyed patronizing . Although Ai Shang Group had only been listed for less than five years, they had been performing rather well in the stock market, and their stocks had always been stable .
After his video conference, Si Yiyan walked towards her slowly and asked, “What are you looking at? Why are you so focused?”
Wen Xinya answered calmly, “Nothing much . I just bought some units of stock recently, so I decided to take a look at its performance . ” She then placed her mobile phone on the coffee table and looked up at him . “Is your conference over?” she asked .
Si Yiyan nodded and said, “Yeah, it’s over . ”
“Is everything alright?” Wen Xinya asked .
Si Yiyan answered, “It’s nothing major . There might be some changes to the contract between the Xiasi Group and the government . I’ll be able to stay in the nation for longer after the agreement is settled . ”
Wen Xinya asked with a frown, “How about the Xiasi Group’s headquarters in Italy?”
A menacing gaze formed in Si Yiyan’s eyes and he said, “I’ve gathered all the power that those old fogies used to hold . There are just some loose ends there, but that bunch of old dogs can vie with each other for the meager amount of benefits left . Besides, everything will be kept under control with Gu Yuehan’s brother tending to the business there . ”
Wen Xinya’s heart skipped a beat and she recalled Gu Junling’s remarks about Si Yiyan—he would never start a conflict, yet he could always reap the most benefits . She said, “Let’s take Cleopatra out for a walk in the garden . He kept pacing back and forth around me and pestering me to play with him just now . ”
Si Yiyan pulled her to the backyard while Cleopatra crawled around the patio . Upon sight of Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya, it stood up immediately and began wagging its tail while running towards them .
“Cleopatra, fetch!” Wen Xinya exclaimed before throwing a frisbee up into the air .
Cleopatra darted towards the frisbee and caught it with its mouth . It then ran back to Wen Xinya and handed her the frisbee .

“Well done, Cleopatra,” said Wen Xinya, who was surprisingly in a good mood . She stroked and petted Cleopatra, after which it circled her gleefully, occasionally sticking its tongue out to lick her palm .
Wen Xinya guffawed loudly in amusement . She then retracted her hand and hid it behind her back . “It’s so ticklish! Cleopatra, be good, don’t lick me . I’m worried that Si Yiyan might punish you!”
Cleopatra then quickly scurried towards her back and chased her while she dodged .
Happiness was written all over Si Yiyan’s face as he watched her have a whale of a time with the dog .
“Ah! Si Yiyan, save me… hahahaha…” Wen Xinya then scrambled towards Si Yiyan with Cleopatra chasing her, after which she fell straight into his embrace .
Si Yiyan instinctively gestured at Cleopatra .
Wen Xinya burst into laughter, her dark eyes brimming with joy .
The way she smiled resembled a sly fox, greatly arousing and enticing him . He raised her chin gently and began kissing her with immense passion .
At this moment, Cleopatra began zooming towards Si Yiyan, who miraculously noticed it and grabbed the frisbee from Wen Xinya’s hand before throwing it into the air .

Cleopatra turned around and proceeded to chase after the frisbee .
Si Yiyan had never once moved away from Wen Xinya throughout his fluid course of actions .
After kissing her for a long time, he finally let her go . Wen Xinya fell into his arms and pressed her head against his chest meekly with tender affection .
“Si Yiyan, you sneaked up on me again!” Wen Xinya exclaimed coquettishly, her rosy lips curved into a smile . They were soft, vibrant, and alluring like a beautiful stalk of rose that he would pick regardless of what it took .
“You’re wrong!” Si Yiyan said, moving his fingers across her lips gently .
Wen Xinya puffed her cheeks up and glowered at him . “How am I wrong?”
“I clearly kissed you openly . How could you call that sneaky?” Si Yiyan said with raised brows . He found her to be even more charming and seductive than usual whenever she was pretending to be angry . He also found her lively eyes and clenched fists to be extremely adorable .
Wen Xinya glared at him and asked, “How are you going to explain that?”
“You were the one who dived into my arms . I was just following my heart and doing what I wanted to,” Si Yiyan answered self-righteously, staring at her with a gaze that was so intense that it seemed to have consumed her whole . His warm breath landed upon her lips and he suppressed his passion with all his might while giving her an explanation for his actions .

Wen Xinya was dumbfounded and bewildered . In other words, he was trying to tell her that he had kissed her without warning, simply because she had aroused him and hence, it was not considered a sneak attack!
“You’re just pretending to be innocent despite knowing that you’ve gained an advantage,” said Wen Xinya after she had recovered from the shock . He was the one who kissed me first . How could he say that it was because I seduced him? How atrocious!
“Why don’t I let you take liberties with me, too? We’ll be even, then . ” Si Yiyan teased in a hoarse voice, staring at her eyes that were as dark as the ocean at night, seemingly calm and peaceful, yet full of dangerous, tidal waves .
“No, I don’t want you to accuse me of seducing you again . ” Wen Xinya retorted, blushing as red as a tomato . She couldn’t help but feel shy upon sensing how passionate Si Yiyan was .
Si Yiyan burst into laughter, his voice low and alluring .
Wen Xinya began to feel more and more flustered . Not daring to look at him, she said with shifty eyes, “Where’s Cleopatra? He’s no longer in sight . ”
“Oh, I told him to go away because we were getting down to business just now . He should be running around somewhere on Mount Li,” Si Yiyan answered, staring at her cherry-red lips . Although he lusted for her and her delicate body, he found that she was… way too young .
Wen Xinya’s eyes widened in shock . Staring at Si Yiyan, she suddenly realized just how lustrous and lecherous he could be .
