Since T-K Group launched their all-out attack against Country Z’s health supplements market, the battle between Lanxin Company and T-K Group had heated up as both parties crossed swords multiple times. Although Lanxin Company had maintained an upper hand throughout, the reality of it was there was always a heavy and bitter price to success.
Having to lower their prices several times was a major blow to Lanxin Company. The charity dinner organized together with Zhishan Club had further worsened their financial situation.
Luckily, Lanxin Company managed to capture the hearts of the people and the market during the battle, enabling the company to carry on its operations as per normal. However, it no longer had any resources left to pursue after T-K Group and attack them further. Otherwise, Lanxin Company might suffer an intense counterattack.
After all, it was often said that a cornered animal was the most dangerous. So, instead, Lanxin Company would make use of this time to regroup itself in preparation for an even more intense battle.
“Si Yiyan, where’s my backless black gown?”
That gown was given to her by Lanxin Company’s chief clothing designer, Gu Yihan. She planned to wear that to the Gu Family’s dinner party tonight.
But she failed to find it even after ransacking her entire closet.
Si Yiyan was standing by the table, calligraphy brush in hand. Without even lifting his head, he said, “I threw it away!”
That was the most beautiful and stylish gown that Gu Yihan had designed for Xinya. However, it was too revealing.
Si Siyan already had a good eyeful when she tried it on for him.
There was no need for her to wear it out for other men to ogle!
Yes! Every single part of Wen Xinya belonged to him. It was his rightful benefit and he would not allow any other men to catch even a glimpse.
Wen Xinya widened her eyes and crossed her arms. She glared angrily at him. “Si Yiyan, explain yourself. What do you mean by you threw it away?”
Wen Xinya liked that gown very much. It was a vintage-style gown with a mermaid tail skirt, which accentuated her lovely neck and exquisite collarbone. The clingy material fitted her like a cheongsam, perfectly draping over her every curve and displaying them to their full advantage.
However, the gown was backless.
The back of the gown was a plunging V-shape, all the way until the top of the buttocks region, offering revealing hints of a woman’s most sensuous curves.
The front part was completely covered but alluringly slinky.
The back was an outright seduction in the extreme.
Two different styles but merged perfectly by Gu Yihan.
She could just imagine herself stepping into the dinner party. Everyone would see the conservative front of the gown first, but as she walked past, they would realize how brazen the back was. The visual impact would be astounding.
Si Yiyan tossed his calligraphy brush into a vat filled with water. “Throwing it away means you will never get a chance to wear it in front of anyone else.”
That dress was just too eye-catching. Wen Xinya’s sexiness belonged to him and he would never allow her to display it before others.
Wen Xinya felt dazed from his self-righteous tone. “Si Yiyan, you have gone too far. You threw away my belongings without asking for my permission.”
A woman’s love for her favorite clothing knew no bounds. She had only worn that gown once, and only at a fitting.
Most importantly, that gown was a gift from Gu Yihan. How could he just throw it away as he pleased? He was too much.
“Your belongings?” Si Yiyan glanced up abruptly and fixed her with a sharp look!
“Si Yiyan, stop fooling around. I wanted to wear that dress tonight.” Wen Xinya gazed at him in exasperation. She didn’t know what was wrong. He had obviously liked that dress when she tried it on for him previously.
With a menacing aura, Si Yiyan came to her side. “Apart from me, who else are you trying to seduce by wearing that revealing gown?”
His stare was extremely oppressive.
Wen Xinya was momentarily stunned. She stared back at him in disbelief and anger. “What do you mean by that? You speak as if I often go out to seduce men. When have I ever done that?”
Wen Xinya was feeling very upset and aggrieved.
Si Yiyan had spoken too bluntly with absolutely no regard for her feelings.
She felt that Si Yiyan had changed over this period. But she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was different.
Si Yiyan lifted her chin and gently brushed her lips with his fingers. “Such a revealing gown. Why else are you wearing it if not to attract the attention of other men?”
The gowns which he usually prepared for Wen Xinya were all floor-length and at most revealed her arms and collarbone area. Not the slightest hint of cleavage was allowed to be exposed.
Wen Xinya fumed. “You are totally unreasonable! Why didn’t you get an Arab woman for a wife, then? She will be covered from head to toe all the time! Nothing will be revealed to other men, including her face.”
Seducing other men was the sole purpose of a woman who chose to pretty herself up and wear a slightly more revealing dress?
What kind of nonsensical logic was that?
This was the 21st century, not the middle ages!
This jerk might hold some of Country Z’s more conservative viewpoints regarding men and women, but even so, this was going too far!
Si Yiyan glanced at her angry expression and said nonchalantly, “How can I taint Xiasi Group’s pure Chinese lineage from the late Emperor Xuanyuan?”
He spoke self-righteously.
Wen Xinya was extremely pissed off. “Can you guarantee that you can forever keep Xiasi Group’s lineage pure? Who can predict what happens in the future?”
Si Yiyan pondered for a moment before speaking. “You are right. Why don’t I put this down in the household rules? Anyone who taints the Xiasi Group’s bloodline will be chased out of the family!”
Yeah! This was something worth considering!
As Wen Xinya looked at Si Yiyan’s serious face, her rage suddenly went “poof” and she just felt like laughing in exasperation.
Si Yiyan kissed her on the lips. “It makes me jealous to see other men coveting you with lustful eyes!”
His kiss was thick with the desire to conquer her.
Wen Xinya was stunned. She couldn’t resist pounding his chest and grumbling. “Petty little man! If you don’t want me to wear it then I won’t! I could have just worn it in private for you to see. There’s no need to throw it away! Such a gorgeous gown, gone to waste!”
Si Yiyan’s words completely dispelled her anger. She had already forgotten all his earlier unreasonableness.
Women would forever be vulnerable to a man’s honeyed tongue.
Even Wen Xinya was no exception.
“Wear it in private for me only? That’s a pretty good idea.” Si Yiyan suddenly pressed her against the wall and kissed her fiercely.
As usual, Wen Xinya had no choice but to passively yield to his passionate kiss.
