The renovations of the shop front and the setting up of the factory were proceeding simultaneously. The contract for the medicinal herbs had already been signed, and the hygiene and manufacturing licenses had also been issued. However, the GMP manufacturing standards were still in the midst of being assessed.
Wen Xinya was actively keeping close tabs on the renovation and decor of the shop front. The shop was to be decorated with Tang-Dynasty-Style porcelain ornaments. She was as busy as a bee.
Zhong Rufeng’s notes had made it much easier for her to learn the ropes, and he was always ready to teach her whenever she needed help, too. Hence, when things were busy, she would often apply for a break from school. Due to the fact that she had achieved stellar results during her major exams and tests, the school authorities decided to concede to her requests after having a chat with her.
After class, Wen Xinya sprinted towards the entrance of the school to see that there was a black RexS9Lucifer parked by the gate. It was the subject of envy of many others.
Wen Xinya’s heart skipped a beat and her pent up emotions began to overflow. She sprinted towards the car, after which Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Hop on!”
Wen Xinya opened the car door and got inside the passenger’s seat.
Si Yiyan leaned towards her all of a sudden, causing her to blush shyly and her heart to beat rapidly. “Si Yiyan, what are you doing? We’re right outside my school and it’s dismissal time…”
Si Yiyan looked at her and teased with a wide grin. “I just wanted to help you put on your safety belt. What were you expecting? Hmm?”
Wen Xinya was at a loss for words, feeling embarrassed knowing that Si Yiyan was teasing her on purpose.
Si Yiyan’s lips curled into a sly smile and asked, “What were you hoping for me to do?”
Wen Xinya pushed him away and exclaimed, “Don’t spout nonsense. Go away, I’ll buckle up myself. I don’t need your help!”
“Am I really spouting nonsense?” Si Yiyan whispered into her ear before licking her earlobe sensually. “Your ears are so red. How could you say that I’m spouting nonsense?” he continued.
Wen Xinya felt as if there were waves of electricity surging through her, causing her to shiver involuntarily. She glowered at him and exclaimed, “Si Yiyan, you’re so annoying!”
Si Yiyan pinned her down onto the seat and began kissing her soft and tender lips with an overbearing dominance. She wanted to turn around but could not help herself.
Wen Xinya subconsciously tried to push him away. However, she felt his heart beating rapidly when she rested her palm on his chest, after which she moved her hand to his shoulder and slowly towards his neck.
Sensing that she was reciprocating, Si Yiyan moved his hand away from her waist and stuck it beneath her shirt. Their kiss began to grow deeper and much more passionate.
Basking in the immense pleasure, Wen Xinya felt that he was taking her breath away, as if she was propelled back and forth between Heaven and Hell. Just as she thought she was going to suffocate, Si Yiyan let go of her!
Passion filled the air in the car.
Panting heavily, Wen Xinya stared at Si Yiyan with her eyes glassed over and her heart pounding vigorously.
“You little seductress.” Si Yiyan remarked. He couldn’t help but feel upset at the thought of the increasing number of men around her. She inevitably attracted more men as her social circle expanded.
At first, it was Xu Zhenyu. Now, it was Zhong Rufeng and Chu Jingnan! Although he knew that Wen Xinya did not harbor any designs on them, he still felt jealous when he heard the rumors about Zhong Rufeng and Wen Xinya.
“Who’s a seductress?” Wen Xinya asked, glaring at him with widened eyes.
Si Yiyan grazed his finger across her lips gently and said, “If you’re not a seductress, how do you explain Zhong Rufeng and Chu Jingnan?”
Stunned beyond words, Wen Xinya began to feel a little guilty. She instinctively explained, “Zhong Rufeng is just a friend of mine. He’s helped me a lot with my homework. As for Chu Jingnan… I must have been nuts to fancy such a hypocritical man.”
“How about me?” Si Yiyan asked, pressing his hands on her shoulders and glaring at her.
Wen Xinya looked back at him and murmured, “You…”
“Who am I to you?” Si Yiyan asked coldly, tightening his grip on her shoulders.
Wen Xinya’s pupils constricted, feeling as if Si Yiyan could see through her soul. She answered, “You’re the man whom I fancy.”
“You’re such an obedient girl!” Si Yiyan exclaimed before letting go of her shoulders. His lips curled into a sinister smirk.
Wen Xinya sighed and remained silent.
Si Yiyan tucked her hair behind her ear and helped her buckle up. “Are you upset?”
“No!” Wen Xinya exclaimed, cocking her head towards the side to face away from him. Although she was willing to date Si Yiyan, she did not wish to dive into a relationship with him. However, she had no choice but to admit her feelings for him due to how much he compelled her.
“Liar. You’re pulling such a long face!” Si Yiyan remarked while moving his face over her shoulder, forcing her to make eye contact with him.
“I’m not!” Wen Xinya exclaimed, glaring at him.
Si Yiyan asked impatiently, “What must I do to make you simmer down?”
Trying to put on a stern and serious front, Wen Xinya asked, “Are you going to agree to any request I make?”
Si Yiyan rubbed her soft and tender ear gently, wishing he would nibble on it. “I’ll do anything for you, so long as it’s within my means.”
Wen Xinya slapped his fingers away and said, “You said it yourself!”
Si Yiyan chuckled and said, “Are you afraid that I’d go back on my word? It’s my pleasure to serve you!”
Staring at him smugly, Wen Xinya said, “I need some ancient paintings for my shop front. I found one at Gu Junling’s place, but I still need a few more that have to be painted by someone because of some special reasons. Why don’t you paint for me?”
She was initially planning to request Gu Junling to hire some ancient painters to help her. However, she decided to not let the free help go to waste. Besides, her grandfather had always sung high praises about Si Yiyan’s artistic flair.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “I was expecting something bigger, turns out it’s such a trivial matter. It’s my pleasure to help you.”
