Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1255 - : The Man Whom I Love Is a Hero



Chapter 1255: The Man Whom I Love Is a Hero

Wen Xinya sprawled herself across the bed and read through the notes that Teacher Ji had given her. Although she was talented in jewelry design and had a head start thanks to her strong fundamentals, self-learning could not be compared to being taught by a competent teacher. For example, one would be able to teach himself two types of methods of solving a math question, but with the guidance of a teacher, one might be able to master three, four or even more methods.

Teacher Ji did not waste effort on teaching her the boring and dry basic knowledge and instead, just gave her a large compilation of notes that she could read during her free time. Teacher Ji had also made several annotations and footnotes on the notes so that it would be easier for her to understand the basic concepts of jewelry design.

Wen Xinya could also tell that Teacher Ji wanted her to start from the basics and slowly build on her foundation so that she would have a sturdy base. On the other hand, Mo Yunyao mostly relied on experience and inspiration to draft her designs and her knowledge was accumulated based on experience as well.

Wen Xinya was very fortunate to have met Teacher Ji Shihan.

Ever since Wen Xinya returned to Capital City, she had been putting in effort into learning jewelry design and grasping the fundamental concepts. Since the Wen Family ran businesses in the jewelry industry, she managed to gain more exposure to jewelry designs. She also managed to learn more about producing jewelry after reading the jewelry design manual that her mother had left behind for her. She was just like a sponge that was absorbing information endlessly.

However, if she did not apply what she had learned, all of her knowledge would go to waste, regardless of how broad it was.

At this point, what Wen Xinya needed was exactly someone like Teacher Ji Shihan, who could help her broaden her knowledge about jewelry design. At the same time, she could also help her grasp the concepts better, and most importantly, help her develop her own unique design concept.

Wen Xinya tossed and turned in bed while staring at Si Yiyan who was seated on the rattan chair on the balcony and reading a book attentively with his legs crossed. He looked calm, tranquil and at ease. His aura was warm yet firm and assertive like ivory.

Sensing that she was staring at him, Si Yiyan put his book down and walked towards the room slowly. “There’s plenty of information about jewelry design in the study, and they’re all detailed and all-compassing. You may look up on more information if you encounter any difficulties while studying jewelry design.”

Most of the jewelry design notes that he possessed were concepts and theories written by renowned designers. He had been actively searching for more information about jewelry design ever since he got to know Wen Xinya, though he never once told her about it. The notes would not be useful for her if she had yet to start learning about jewelry design properly.

Wen Xinya’s eyes glistened, though she was not that impatient about taking a look at the notes. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, “Si Yiyan, you’re such a nice man.”

Si Yiyan was extremely meticulous and would always prepare for a rainy day beforehand. He had obviously begun collecting the notes since a long time ago. He often spared a thought for her.

Extremely pleased to have received the compliment, Si Yiyan asked with raised brows, “Are you trying to suck up to me?”

Wen Xinya blinked and said smilingly, “I remember that the Russian aristocrats all call you a philanthropist.” She then continued, “The people in the central region call you the world savior, too. Aren’t you nice?”

Although she was stating facts, she made it sound like she was teasing him.

Si Yiyan obviously understood what she meant. Lucifer delt in businesses that were borderline legal, and Russia was extremely strict with the controlling of triads. In the end, Si Yiyan was seen as a huge Samaritan in the Russian aristocratic circle.

Due to the competition for resources and the rampant wards in the central region, Si Yiya had been providing plenty of relief and aid to the people in those areas. Hence, he was seen as a huge samaritan and had gained a good reputation which gave him massive advantages in the fossil fuel industry.

At the end of the day, Wen Xinya was still mocking him!

Noticing that he seemed to be angry because of the sullen expression on his face, Wen Xinya tugged his arm and said, “Hey, I was just joking. I don’t mean anything else. Are you angry?”

Si Yiyan glanced at her shiny and captivating eyes. “Am I very sanctimonious?”

Wen Xinya frantically shook her head fervently and spluttered. “No, no…”

Keeping his eyes fixed on her, he questioned, “Really?”

Wen Xinya shook her head, feeling terrified by his gaze. After a moment of hesitation, she answered, “You do…” She then stuck her index finger and thumb up before continuing, “Just a little!” It was as if she was afraid that he would be angry.

Wen Xinya’s words made Si Yiyan upset, for he felt that it was a sarcastic remark and that she seemed to be insinuating that he was hypocritical and pretentious.

Knowing that she had made a mistake, Wen Xinya hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I meant. Actually…” She racked her brains and tried hard to find a way to express what she meant. “I know you’re not hypocritical. You’re powerful and mighty. You’ll never bother resorting to such despicable means.”

Seemingly afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, Wen Xinya quickly explained, “You may be touching the boundaries of the law in Russia as the leader of Lucifer, but I know that you’ve been protecting the Chinese working there. Although you have dictatorship over the traits in Russia, I know that you’ve really reduced plenty of societal conflict in Russia.

“I’m really in awe of the relief that you have provided for those in the Central region. There are so many large and powerful nations in this world, but none of them have managed to do what you have done.

“I don’t deny that you’ve done that mostly for your own benefit and interests, but I know that you didn’t achieve what you have now by pretentiously plotting against others. The benefits gained from pulling scheming and cheap tricks will forever be insignificant.

“You’ve achieved all of this, all because of your resoluteness and bravery. Most importantly, I know you may believe in Asura, but you also still believe in Buddhism and you’re also benevolent. Confucius once said that we ought to share when we are affluent. You’ve managed to do that.”

Wen Xinya suddenly felt parched and her eyes glistened because of her agitated state. Her eyes were bright and clear like the stars in the sky, absolutely alluring.

Si Yiyan smirked and exclaimed, “You’re such a silly lass!”

She was actually rather silly. He was just trying to tease her and yet, she got so serious all of a sudden. Although she was usually intelligent and sharp, she seemed to have put down all of her scheming thoughts when she was with him and behaved just like an ordinary woman. She possessed all of the tender and delicateness that a woman ought to have.

However, all men would hope to be a hero in the eyes of their beloved woman. They would want to be a brave and courageous man in the heart of their beloved woman.

Wen Xinya finally recovered from the shock and snapped. “You… tricked me on purpose!”

Si Yiyan hurriedly held her in his arms and tried to think of some words that he could coax her with!
