Chapter 1103 - The Problem About Childbirth (1/2)

August was the month of harvest and the gains were often surprising.

There were different breeds of grapes in the garden of Lishan Mansion. Hence, they ripened at different periods from June to October.

Wen Xinya strolled in the backyard and walked past the grapevines which were all covered in grapes that looked like purple agate. They seemed to glow under the sunlight.

Wen Xinya could smell the fragrance of ripe grapes from afar, which caused her mouth to water.

Wen Xinya had a penchant for eating grapes. Hence, they hired professional gardeners to tend to the grapevines in Lishan Mansion. Thus, the grapes were all large, juicy, sweet and vibrant.

That was also the reason Wen Xinya craved the grapes in the mansion.

To her surprise, the grapes had already ripened.

Wen Xinya was over the moon. She dashed into the living room, only to be greeted with the sight of Si Yiyan reading “The Legend of Athena”. Despite the sheer thickness of the book, Si Yiyan managed to complete half of it within just a few days.

“Si Yiyan, the grapes have ripened,” said Wen Xinya, who could not be bothered to worry about whether or not she had interrupted him. She hurriedly tugged his arm.

Si Yiyan placed a bookmark in between the pages before closing the book. Staring at her calmly, he asked, “What did you call me?”

Wen Xinya pouted and corrected herself unwillingly. “Yan~”

Si Yiyan remained still with raised brows.

His intense gaze made Wen Xinya feel guilty out of nowhere. She gently tugged Si Yiyan’s sleeve and said, “Fine, it just slipped my mind for a while. I won’t make a mistake again in the future.”

Actually, she found it easier to address Si Yiyan by his full name and she was also used to it. Hence, she would sometimes forget to call him “Yan”. However, Si Yiyan was extremely petty and would get upset whenever she made a mistake. He would also demand her to correct herself.

The frown on his forehead faded and Si Yiyan said, “Don’t make a mistake again next time.”

Wen Xinya murmured to herself, “I wasn’t wrong. You’re just being too anal. Isn’t your name Si Yiyan?”

However, she had forgotten that Si Yiyan had a sharp sense of hearing and obviously heard her. “What are you mumbling about?”

He had heard her but did not plan to expose him.

Wen Xinya frantically smiled and tried to please him. “Hehe, I wasn’t.”

Si Yiyan instructed the servants to pluck some grapes and wash them before serving them.

Wen Xinya happily popped a grape into her mouth which was then filled with the sweet and fragrant grape juices. “Let’s plant a patch of strawberries in the garden in the next few days! We’ll get to eat some strawberries by Spring next year.”

Strawberries were her favorite.

Si Yiyan burst into laughter and asked, “Are you planning to become a farmer?”

Wen Xinya seemed to be ambitious, but she was actually a simple girl who would be easily satisfied. Her desire to become stronger was not for superficial reasons, but rather it was because she wanted to be in control of her destiny.

Wen Xinya cocked her head sideways and blinked innocently. “It’s not that bad of an idea! I’ll get to be a landlady and own my own land. That’d be a carefree life.”

Si Yiyan stuffed another grape into her mouth and exclaimed, “Landlady!”

While enjoying the grape, Wen Xinya stared at Si Yiyan smilingly and said, “If I’m a landlady, that makes you the landlord.”
