Chapter 962: I Must Be Sick
Sitting on the couch, Si Yiyan fiddled with the dragon-shaped jade piece while watching the equestrian competition that Gu Yuehan had taken a video recording of . The massive screen size and high resolution made the competition look much more exciting and daunting compared to the tablet .
She was sharp, elegant and proud when he met her for the first time at Jo-ramst .
After getting to know her better, he felt that she was composed, rational, intelligent and full of wisdom .
During her homecoming party, all the attention was on her and she was just like a resplendent butterfly .
During her coming-of-age ceremony, she was full of prestige, class, elegance, and splendor, just like a glorious phoenix .
Yet, in front of him, she was just like a meek woman—tender, gentle, coquettish and petty .
In the video, she was now straddling the horse in a suave manner, clad in a silver horseback riding attire that accentuated her curves and figure . She had one hand on the reign and one hand on the whip, her beautiful brows extending towards the side of her face and her eyes lifted up . She looked proud, confident and full of vigor . Her rosy lips were curled into a sinister smirk and she looked rather intimidating .
The horse was subdued beneath her and subjected to her beckoning . She whipped the horse forcefully and her whip seemed to have cut through the air . It was his first time witnessing her carrying out a sport with such finesse .
He was dazed and fascinated .
He found it a shame that he had missed that scene .
The sounds of someone knocking on the door could be heard .
“Come in!” Si Yiyan exclaimed while switching off the crystal display .
Gu Yuehan pushed the door and entered together with Yueze and Xu Xianghu .
As soon as Xu Xianghu entered the study, he sprinted towards the couch and took a seat before grabbing the cup in front of Si Yiyan impatiently . “Ah, I’m parched . ”
Si Yiyan raised his brows and a sullen expression formed on his face .
A cold shiver was sent down Xu Xianghu’s spine and he moved his hand away from the cup awkwardly . “Are you kidding me, Boss? You summoned us at such short notice . Surely you’re not going to forbid me from drinking a glass of water?”
Si Yiyan grabbed the cup and said coldly, “If you want to drink water, pour some for yourself . This is Ginseng tea made by your Sis-in-law . It helps with nourishing the blood . ”
Xu Xianghu lamented in his head . I hate it when people value lust over brotherhood .
Gu Yuehan raised his eyelids, thinking to himself that his eyes must have been playing tricks on him . He refused to believe that a smug expression appeared on Si Yiyan’s face .
He could not help but be reminded of the time when Si Yiyan injured his arm . Back then, Wen Xinya had also spent all day serving Si Yiyan, wishing she could take care of all of his needs .
Yueze smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that Sis-in-law would be so meticulous in taking care of others!”

His minor injury did not warrant such exaggerated aftercare .
Si Yiyan smiled and raised his eyelids . “Yes, your Sis-in-law has learned about medical techniques and she knows quite a bit about herbal recipes and nourishing foods . ”
He sounded rather proud of Wen Xinya, causing the rest to be speechless .
Si Yiyan could not be bothered to care about what they were thinking . After bragging about his gentle, meticulous and virtuous girlfriend, he began talking about serious matters . “I got you guys to come here today so that we can discuss something . ”
He shifted his gaze onto the document on the coffee table, which was the same one that Wen Xinya had won during the competition .
Apart from Gu Yuehan, no one else knew about it yet .
Yueze stared at the document and asked curiously, “What’s this?”
“You’ll find out once you open it . ” Xu Xianghu grabbed the document and untied the string of the document case before taking out the actual document .
Si Yiyan was not bothered by how rough Xu Xianghu was with handling the document . Instead, he sipped on the ginseng tea smugly . The supposedly bitter ginseng tea seemed to taste better because it was brewed by Wen Xinya . It was just the taste that he preferred .
Xu Xianghu shuddered and stared at the document with his eyes wide open . His eyeballs almost popped out and he looked a little daunting .

Yueze kicked him and said, “Hey, Xianghu, it’s just a document and yet you’re so astonished . Where did your bravery go?”
Xu Xianghu turned around and stared at Yueze, appalled and dumbfounded . “Yueze, pinch me!”
Yueze instinctively asked in bewilderment, “Are you sick in the head?”
Xu Xianghu answered, “I must be sick and giddy . That’s why I’m hallucinating . ”
Gu Yuehan smirked, thinking to himself that the two of them were really a match made in heaven . “You’re not sick and you’re not giddy, either . Of course, you can’t possibly be hallucinating because this is indeed the transferral document from Duke Moville . ”
Yueze was just as astounded as Xu Xianghu was . “Did I hear you correctly? Is this really the document?”
Gu Yuehan pursed his lips and stared at the document in Xu Xianghu’s hand . “You’ll find out if it’s true once you take a look at it . ”
Yueze finally recovered from the shock and snatched the document away from Xu Xianghu . As he stared at the red seal, the first thing that came to his mind was that the document must be fake . The next thing that came to mind was that he had to verify the authenticity of the document .
Si Yiyan said coldly, “You don’t have to authenticate it . This document is genuine . ”
A sudden silence filled the air .

Apart from the composed Gu Yuehan, Yueze and Xu Xianghu were both flustered and they looked deeply into each other’s eyes .
Knowing that they had been agitated, Si Yiyan asked, “Is there a problem?”
After the silence was broken, Xu Xianghu suddenly asked agitatedly, “Boss, what exactly is going on? How did you get this document? That Duke Moville is a sly and cunning old fogy . He had ulterior motives for inviting you to the banquet . How could he have given the document to us?”
Although Xu Xianghu seemed rather silly, he was actually smart and thoughtful . His intelligence was one of the reasons why he could be one of Lucifer’s leaders .
A frown creased Yueze’s forehead and he remarked, “What tricks are Duke Moville getting up to? Although most aristocratic families own such documents, they would be struck with a huge blow if they defy the political order . Hence, these documents have already been regarded as symbols of pride and power by the aristocrats . How could Duke Moville be willing to hand it over?”
Russians had never given such documents to foreigners . If word about it was to spread, they might just be accused of colluding with foreigners .
He did not feel thrilled or agitated about obtaining the document . Instead, he felt that there was something amiss with it .
Si Yiyan placed the cup back onto the coffee table before saying calmly, “I wasn’t the one who got this document . Your Sis-in-law was the one who obtained it after competing with Miss Avrora in horseback riding yesterday . ”
Unlike Gu Yuehan, who remained cool and collected, Xu Xianghu and Yueze both widened their eyes and gasped in shock, overwhelmed with bewilderment .
