Chapter 960 - Why Did You Smack My... Buttocks! (2/2)

Wen Xinya frantically said, “I… I’ll stop talking, alright?”

She still remembered Si Yiyan getting angry because she had gotten jealous of Avrora during the banquet.

Si Yiyan gently bit her ear and smacked her buttocks. “If you do that again, I’ll smack your buttocks.”

Avrora can’t hold a candle to Wen Xinya at all.

“I was just making a casual comment. I don’t mean anything else. Why do you… have to smack my buttocks!?!” Wen Xinya immediately turned red, feeling a stinging pain in her hips. Clearly, Si Yiyan did not spare her any mercy. Having grown to this age, she had never been smacked on the butt before. She truly could not tolerate that feeling.

She initially merely wanted to take the chance to act cute and coquettish. Yet, she ended up provoking him.

Si Yiyan said softly, “You’ll be punished if you misbehave.”

Wen Xinya was at a loss for words as she remembered him warning her that he would punish her if she were to doubt him again in the future. Her eyes lit up and she said with a pout and a sullen expression, “Avrora said that I’m good for nothing and I can’t bring you any benefits or even help you with anything.”

She pursed her lips and pretended to be innocently miserable like pretentious women. Although she knew that Avrora had ill intentions for saying those words, she still could not curb the urge to play cute and get him to cajole her.

Si Yiyan frowned slightly and said, “What nonsense is that? Duke Moville has not taken Avrora in hand. Don’t believe the nonsense that she spouts. Well, she herself is a pawn that Duke Moville uses to exchange for more benefits. She’s just receiving more privileges for what she’s worth. That’s why she often uses tangible benefits and value to compare herself to others. People like her are inferior, to begin with. To me, you’re priceless. How could you be measured using benefits?”

Wen Xinya’s mind cleared up immediately and she could not help but mock herself for being shallow.

Si Yiyan is right. Avrora is just a cheap pawn that Duke Moville uses to exchange for greater benefits. She’s just pathetic. There’s no need for me to harp on it and be affected by the things she says. Si Yiyan is the one who decides if I’m worthy or not. So what if Avrora has a net worth of billions of yuan? She’s not the one who Si Yiyan likes, anyway.

Indeed, she could not bring about many benefits to Si Yiyan. Neither could she do anything for him. However, he was on a pedestal and possessed immeasurable power. He did not need her to risk her life for him. What he needed was her loyalty and love, and her vow to stay with him until death did them apart.

Si Yiyan said softly, “There are plenty of strange and peculiar Russian aristocrats. Seems like I can’t let you meet them again. Bizarreness is an illness that’s scary and contagious.”

Wen Xinya snorted with laughter.

Si Yiyan said softly, “You’re not to let your imagination run wild again in the future.”

He knew that Wen Xinya was actually bothered by Avrora’s snide remarks and she actually wanted to test him for his reaction and hear his honest opinion.

Wen Xinya expressed assent, feeling incredibly touched. “If I let my imagination run wild, wouldn’t I be like those strange and ridiculous women whom you were talking about? I’m not that silly.”

Si Yiyan smiled without uttering a single word. Although she seemed a little foolish, her actions were what attracted him the most. She wanted to put in more effort into their relationship and show him more love. That was why she had those silly thoughts.

Wen Xinya’s eyes widened and she thought about something. Tugging Si Yiyan’s collar, she gritted her teeth and said, “By the way, did you find out right from the start that Duke Moville wanted you to marry Avrora?”
