Chapter 964: You Won’t Stand to Gain Anything Even If You Bootlick Him to No End
Just as they were chatting, Wen Xinya entered with the medicinal soup .
Xu Xianghu sprung up from the couch and stared at the medicine in the bowl . “Sis-in-law, what did you make? It smells heavenly . ”
While talking, he leaned closer and closer towards the soup, seemingly craving for it .
Staring at his gluttony behavior, Wen Xinya answered coldly, “Oh, it’s snake soup that I made for your boss . ”
She only realized today that the silly Xu Xianghu was not just a dimwit, he was also a glutton . She was at a loss for words to criticize him upon sight of him drooling .
Xu Xianghu stared at the food tray and said with a sheepish grin, “Sis-in-law, you seem to have made plenty of soup . Ninth Young Master definitely can’t finish everything . ”
He was just trying to say, “Sis-in-law, please do a kind deed and share some with me!”
Xu Xianghu’s intentions were clear and obvious . Having understood what he meant, Wen Xinya glowered at him threateningly and said, “Don’t worry, your boss wouldn’t dare to let my efforts go to waste . ”
Xu Xianghu’s face stiffened and he inched closer towards her . “Sis-in-law, I didn’t expect you to have such great culinary skills on top of being pretty, shrewd and proficient in martial arts . It’s Boss’ blessing to have you as his girlfriend . ”
Xu Xianghu was obviously sucking up to Wen Xinya, who raised her brows and glanced at Si Yiyan .
Si Yiyan’s lips curled into a smile .
Xu Xianghu was still trying to suck up to Wen Xinya . “Sis-in-law, you’re really impressive . You managed to get that document from Avrora . I have endless respect for you!”
Wen Xinya slowly took a seat beside Si Yiyan . The fragrance of the medicinal soup was so appetizing that even Gu Yuehan and Yueze took a second look at it .
Xu Xianghu thumped himself down beside Wen Xinya and giggled . “Sis-in-law, you have no idea that we possess an extraordinary position in Russia and we enjoy endless glory . However, we still face plenty of restrictions and Boss has racked his brains in order to get that document . Yet… you actually managed to obtain the document that even Boss couldn’t get…”
Gu Yuehan and Yueze felt a strong and sudden urge to cover their faces and say, “I don’t know this silly person . He has nothing to do with me!”
Si Yiyan raised his brows and thought to himself, Since when have I racked my brains for that document? Is it really appropriate for him to sell me out like this?
Wen Xinya could not help but place a hand on her forehead, wondering if he would ever sell Si Yiyan one day for the sake of eating .
Xu Xianghu was still trying his best to curry Wen Xinya’s favor . He praised her for her smart strategies in teaching Anatoli a lesson and winning Avrora in the horseback riding competition . At last, he concluded . “Lucifer is blessed to have a matriarch like you . ”
Wen Xinya began to feel a little smug and conceited after being praised by Xu Xianghu . Si Yiyan glanced at him and said, “You won’t get a share of the soup even if you bootlick her to no end . ”
Xu Xianghu was dumbfounded .
Yueze burst into laughter relentlessly .
Even Gu Yuehan was unable to contain his amusement .
Wen Xinya picked up the bowl and scooped some snake soup for Si Yiyan . “Snake meat is good for nourishing the blood, strengthening your muscles and clearing your nerve pathways . It also helps with strengthening your nerves and promote longevity . You must have more . ”

Si Yiyan’s injuries were not too severe and he did not lose too much blood either . Hence, she did not brew him any soup specifically for nourishing his blood . Hence, she chose to use herbal soups to treat his wound and old ailments .
Si Yiyan smiled and exclaimed, “It’s been hard on you, Milady!”
Wen Xinya turned red immediately and nudged him . “Who’s your lady, don’t spout nonsense!”
He’s already begun addressing me in funny ways when I haven’t even married him yet .
Si Yiyan answered softly, “You’ve never retorted when Gu Yuehan and the rest addressed you as Sis-in-law . ”
Momentarily speechless, Wen Xinya glowered at him and said, “Even food can’t stuff your mouth to make you shut up . ”
Forget it, the only difference is that we’re not legally married yet .
Watching them flirt right in front of him, Gu Yuehan pretended not to notice and instead darted his eyes all around the place .
Meanwhile, Xu Xianghu was still staring at the snake soup intently .
The snake soup melted in his mouth and it tasted fresh and fragrant .
Wen Xinya said calmly, “By the way, I almost forgot to tell you guys . I accidentally made an extra bowl when I was cooking the snake soup just now . ”

Before Wen Xinya could even finish, Xu Xianghu sprung up from the couch and scurried out of the study .
Yueze was slightly slower than him while Gu Yuehan had already opened the door gracefully .
Wen Xinya could not help but feel a little awkward . It turns out all of Si Yiyan’s subordinates were gluttons .
Si Yiyan laughed and said, “Your herbal broth is delicious . ”
The first time that he tasted the herbal broths brewed by her was at the Mo Family home . Although it tasted good, the fragrance could not conceal its bitterness . After three years, she had become an expert at brewing herbal broths and using them for medicinal purposes . She was also familiar with the medical properties of different herbs and ingredients .
It was no wonder that Gu Yuehan and the rest were such gluttons .
Wen Xinya scooped another bowl for him again before asking, “What do you plan to do with the document?”
Si Yiyan obviously wanted to get the document since he had called Gu Yuehan and the rest over for a discussion .
Si Yiyan answered, “We’re in control of the situation, but it all depends on how sincere Duke Moville is . ”
He believed that Duke Moville would look for them sooner or later .
Wen Xinya instantly understood what he meant . Si Yiyan did not plan to use the document for the privileges . Instead, he was planning to use it in exchange for better benefits from Duke Moville .

Although she did not quite understand what he wanted, she had faith in his decisions .
Si Yiyan held her hand and said softly, “I’ll tell you more about the power struggles in Russia and Lucifer’s current situation another day . ”
He initially wanted to tell her about those things at a later time . However, he felt that there was no harm in telling her earlier since she was sensible and well aware of the pros and cons .
Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up and she said smilingly, “Alright! That’s what you said . You’re not to go back on your word . ”
All of her knowledge about Russia’s current situation was obtained from Liu Yanhua, and it was just bits and pieces . She only knew a small portion of the truth about Lucifer from Si Yiyan’s vague description . Now that he was willing to tell her more, it meant that he trusted her and recognized her efforts .
