Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1746 - A Special Signing Ceremony

Chapter 1746: A Special Signing Ceremony

After the signing ceremony ended, Wen Xinya was surrounded by reporters and occupied by the greetings from guests which, although included things like Lanxin Company’s bright future after getting listed, she knew very well that everyone’s hospitality was actually aimed at Xiasi Group.

Xiasi Group joining Lanxin Company as a shareholder made Lanxin Company’s status swell accordingly.

Thus, all the way till the banquet ended at 10:30 P.M., Wen Xinya didn’t manage to speak to Si Yiyan.

After sending the guests off, Yan Shaoqing and Zheng Yifan stayed behind to settle some matters.

Wen Xinya finally had the chance to breathe.

Si Yiyan stood right in front of the car, his harsh silhouette as cold as the winter’s night. He stared right at her with his deep and hazy eyes which seemed like bottomless pits.

He saw how her peerlessly beautiful shadow, lengthened greatly by the moonlight, swayed beneath the lights.

Wen Xinya’s heart suddenly skipped a beat as she walked towards him slowly in the moonlight.

Si Yiyan pulled her icy cold body into his chest, covering her snuggly with his coat. “Xinya, congratulations on the smooth listing of your Lanxin Company.”

They had been together for ten years and he knew better than anyone else how she desired to become stronger, control her destiny, and her intention to fight alongside him. Now that Lanxin Company was listed, it meant that her business giant started its ambition to conquer the world’s businesses.

Wen Xinya stuck her cheek on his warm chest and felt slightly emotional. “We could have been listed long ago. Unexpectedly, the acquisition war dragged on for such a long time.”

The acquisition war dragged on for three whole years.

“It’s a great time to be listed. After going through this acquisition war, Lanxin Company will rise even more quickly.”

From the point of China’s health supplements brands, this acquisition war was indeed devastating. However, from the point of Lanxin Company who won the war, it was an opportunity for rapid growth.

“Mmm!” Wen Xinya acknowledged gently. The winter’s night was bone-piercingly cold with its harsh winds, but Si Yiyan’s body blocked all of the coldness for her.

The elegant and crisp scent unique to him surrounded her, making her extremely warm, safe, and secure, so much so that she could open her heart and soul and give in all of her courage and pa.s.sion.

“Xinya!” Si Yiyan murmured gently.

“Yup?” Wen Xinya looked up at him.

Their eyes met and Si Yiyan’s heart constricted violently. Due to their height difference, every time she looked up at him while in his embrace, he seemed to be able to see the most sincere and unreserved admiration, devotion, and loyalty!

A smile gradually appeared in Si Yiyan’s deep, black eyes. “The signing ceremony tonight is very special.”

—Welcome Xiasi Group as a shareholder!

What seemed like an ordinary welcome speech was clearly seen by him as her most determined profession of love from her to him, said in the most soul-touching manner.

From today onwards, they were closely linked to each other, whether in terms of their bodies, hearts, or careers and never to part.

Under his gorgeous twinkling gaze, Wen Xinya’s cheek became slightly warm. “Is… is that so?”

Men and women examined problems from completely different angles.

In Si Yiyan’s view, to let him wholly partic.i.p.ate in her career and her life was the most beautiful confession in the world.

However, for her, she had not let Si Yiyan meddle in her career previously because she wanted to grow due to her own diligence, and subsequently, because she wanted to prove her own ability to him so that she could fight alongside him—not because she was guarded against and not forthcoming to him.

Si Yiyan looked down at her, the smile in his eyes deepening. “I heard that it was specially arranged?”

They had been in love for ten years—he could tell her thoughts right away.

This woman had made clear to him, more than once, her unreserved loyalty and belief. It was normal for married couples to each have their own careers—that was the case for the majority of the families in the world.

It was his insatiable greed that made him want to completely dominate everything about her, secure her in his grasp, under his total control, and make it impossible for her to ever escape in this lifetime.

He acted appropriately towards everything, knowing his limits as well as when to advance or retreat, except towards her—he was never satisfied.

In the face of her man’s teasing smile, Wen Xinya somehow felt a little embarra.s.sed. “I’ve arranged for the signing ceremony to be done together with the listing of Lanxin Company in order to create hype for the listing of Lanxin Company. After all, Lanxin Company has suffered huge losses after going through the acquisition war—to hold the signing ceremony together with the celebratory banquet also serves to reduce our expenditure. Also…”

Wen Xinya was speaking confidently, but under his meaningful glance, her voice gradually became unnaturally low as she felt increasingly guilty, and finally, she didn’t even dare to look up.

She couldn’t help but secretly curse herself for being incapable.

Si Yiyan sneered. “Why aren’t you continuing?”

Regardless of when this signing ceremony was held, it would create hype for Lanxin Company. To create news and hype using the signing ceremony was what a qualified businessman ought to have done instead—the listing of Lanxin Company was just not the best time to hold the signing ceremony.

The so-called reduction in expenditure was even more baseless.

After the acquisition war ended, Lanxin Company had received a huge sum of compensation from T-K Corporation. After recuperating for five months, they had basically recovered fully before deciding to get listed.

Wen Xinya pouted and changed the topic. “Are you angry at me for conspiring with Gu Yuexi and the rest to keep things from you?”

Previously, at the banquet, when she stood on the stage, Si Yiyan’s harsh gaze filled with hidden turmoil, sharpness, and danger seemed to follow her everywhere she went, making her not know how to react.

Throughout the entire banquet, she felt guilty, as if she had done something wrong towards him, and almost didn’t dare to look straight at him.

Seeing the tinge of helplessness and panic flash past her eyes, the smile in Si Yiyan’s eyes deepened. “Yup. Not angry at you!”

The woman that he loved had carefully arranged this special confession for him, opening up her soul and presenting her heart right before him—why would he be angry?

Wen Xinya was overjoyed. She felt that there was something off about his statement but didn’t know what it was exactly.

Si Yiyan caressed her face gently and said plainly, “However, Gu Yuexi and the rest have to be severely punished!”

Since they dared to collaborate and deceive him, they should have been mentally prepared to accept punishment.

“What did you do to them?” Wen Xinya finally knew what was off—he only said, “Not angry at you,” but didn’t say that he wasn’t angry at Gu Yuexi and the rest.

Thus, Si Yiyan would punish them.

She secretly lit 32 candles in her heart for Gu Yuexi and the rest as a sign of mourning for their misfortune.

However, she didn’t realize that she was the culprit at all.

Si Yiyan gently lifted her cheek. “You’re speaking too much.”

Saying that he looked down, locked her lips, and kissed her pa.s.sionately. Under the hazy streetlights, their hugging silhouettes lengthened, overlapped, and intertwined with each other.
