Chapter 1578 - I Have Three Trump Cards for the Counterattack (1/2)

Si Yiyan stood by the window with a glass of red wine. April was approaching and the weather was turning warm. In the yard, the Chinese and Japanese roses were in full bloom. The dazzling blossoms covered the entire yard, the two different flower varieties so intertwined that one could not tell which was which.

Wen Xinya came to his side. It was the perfect angle to view the glorious blossoms in the yard. “Beautiful?”

Si Yiyan answered with an “mmm”. Gently swirling his wine glass, the dark red liquid rippled seductively. “Romanée-Conti. Do you want some?”

Romanée-Conti was the only red wine that Wen Xinya liked.

“Alright!” Wen Xinya stood in front of him and took over his glass, before placing it atop the wine cabinet nearby. She went on tiptoe and reached out her fair arms to circle Si Yiyan’s neck. Pulling his head downward, she presented her plump, red lips.

Si Yiyan was rather shocked, before recomposing himself with a smile. He wrapped his arms around her waist and met her lips. “My dear, do taste it more carefully. I will test you on this later.”

Wen Xinya was the absolute dominant instigator of that kiss.

Her soft little tongue actively slipped between his lips, which still held traces of Romanée-Conti. The rich wine had an exquisitely balanced taste and a texture that felt as smooth as velvet, while at the same time possessing a somewhat sacred quality.

The kiss was not very deep nor passionate. Wen Xinya moved backward and gazed at Si Yiyan’s elegant face. Her smiled deepened. “As expected, the taste is quite good. Using this method to taste wine gives one another level of appreciation.”

Si Yiyan continued to hold her by the waist. “Did you manage to discern the year of this Romanée-Conti?”

He had already said he would test her, and it was no joke.

If she couldn’t answer, then she would have to continue tasting until she could.

Initially feeling smug from teasing Si Yiyan, Wen Xinya now felt rather deflated. She looked at him reluctantly. “Do I really need to guess?”

Although she liked Romanée-Conti very much, it didn’t mean she was so good that she could tell the year just by tasting it.

Si Yiyan was clearly trying to make things difficult for her!

She had just been teasing him a little, just a bit of petty revenge.

Si Yiyan lifted the glass of red wine off the wine cabinet and tasted it with an elegant flourish. “Let me see if your wine tasting abilities have improved.”

Whether it was comparable to the man she was teasing.

Wen Xinya couldn’t help glaring at him. There were traces of a smile on his face, but his eyes glinted with intimidation. He was not going to let her off so easily. So, she pondered a couple of moments before answering. “It tastes very refined with hints of rose and musk. It has a very smooth texture, not at all harsh. It should be from the year 1952.”

Si Yiyan shook his head. “It looks like you need to taste it again more carefully.”

With that, he took a sip of wine and lifted her chin before lowering his head to kiss her on the lips.

The dark red, aromatic liquid seeped between their lips and spread throughout her mouth. Playing upon her tongue, the sublime taste was intoxicating.

Wen Xinya’s mind was in a complete haze from that delectable kiss. She could barely remember that she was supposed to concentrate on discerning the year of the wine.
