Chapter 974 - Exchanging Terms (1/2)

Wen Xinya could not be bothered to care about how pathetic of a plight Avrora was in currently. Avrora was being plain stupid to be so muddled up about the situation even at this juncture. She actually had the audacity to provoke Wen Xinya. Since Avrora had given her the chance to humiliate her, Wen Xinya decided to fulfill her wishes.

Besides, she still remembered how Avrora despised her and humiliated her in front of all the other wealthy ladies during the banquet at the Moville Duke’s Residence. She even threatened to kill her by holding her at gunpoint. Of course, Wen Xinya also remembered how Avrora openly tried to seduce Si Yiyan and even put on airs around her.

She could not help but admit that she was just like Si Yiyan, taking revenge where it was due.

Wen Xinya entered the living room with the ginseng soup that she had scooped.

In the living room, Si Yiyan and Duke Moville were in the midst of a conversation. However, Avrora had already returned to the living room and no longer looked as unkempt as she had been moments ago. She sat beside Duke Moville quietly, as if she were transparent. It seemed like her presence could not be felt.

She reckoned that Avrora should have seen everything clearly, regardless of how stupid she may be.

Wen Xinya took a quick glance before looking away and taking a seat beside Si Yiyan. She then placed the soup in front of him gently.

Si Yiyan stared at her smilingly while picking up the bowl of ginseng soup, which he then savored slowly as if he was tasting tea.

Duke Moville laughed and asked, “Rex, what do you think?”

Si Yiyan seemed to be thinking about something while drinking the soup, though he remained silent.

Wen Xinya blinked curiously, feeling like she had missed something while she was away. Could it be that Si Yiyan and Duke Moville had reached a consensus about the document?

Despite not getting an answer, Duke Moville remained patient and continued, “Rex, just like you said, I ought to pay the price for losing the bet. Since Avrora got into trouble, we will definitely own up and bear the consequences. However, this document is very important to us and so, we have no choice but to take it seriously. Rex, I hope you can understand.”

He had previously tried to test Si Yiyan’s attitude. After noticing that Si Yiyan did not seem to regard the document highly, he brazenly guessed that he actually had the chance to get the document back from Si Yiyan so long as he offered the appropriate condition.

Si Yiyan said coldly, “I can understand your plight, Duke Moville.”

Although he seemed to be agreeing with him, his attitude was ambiguous.

However, Duke Moville felt a sense of relief as he thought that it meant that there was hope for him. It seemed he had guessed correctly. Duke Moville laughed out loud and said, “Rex is indeed very straightforward. In that case, let’s find a chance to discuss this slowly as well as the details of the document. What do you think?”

Appearing a little distracted, Si Yiyan pulled Wen Xinya into his arms and said softly, “You’ve won this document from Avrora and it’s the fruition of your victory. You’re the one who has the right to decide. What do you think of Duke Moville’s suggestion?”

Duke Moville shifted his gaze onto Wen Xinya, hiding the menace in his gray eyes.

Wen Xinya stared at Duke Moville in astonishment. “Duke Moville, are you trying to exchange for the document using an item of equal value?”

Duke Moville tightened his grip on the cane, momentarily speechless. His most valuable item was that sealed document. Hence, he did not know how to answer her question at all.

Appearing disappointed, Wen Xinya glanced at Si Yiyan and asked, “Don’t tell me, you can’t enjoy the privileges stated in here?”
