Wen Xinya was extremely touched to hear Chief Editor Miao’s suggestion, though she was rather hesitant as well. It had only been a little more than three years since she returned to the Wen Family and, although she had already secured her footing in the upper-class society, she was not an heiress who had been born-and-bred in a wealthy family. Thus, she had a weaker foundation. Hence, it would seem like she was being too haughty.
By the time the magazine issue was published, society would definitely have a huge opinion towards her.
However… Poise Magazine was extremely esteemed and renowned in both local and overseas markets. If she could become the main figure of the next issue, it would bring about a great advantage to her reputation and status. At the same time… the word would get to know her better and it would be very advantageous to her status in society.
It was also the reason why many celebrities were willing to accept the interviews by magazines and go on talk shows.
Si Yiyan said calmly, “Xinya, don’t look down on yourself. Those heiresses may be reputable and influential, but they’re spoiled and pampered because they were born with a golden spoon in their mouths. They were raised strictly to have impeccable manners and etiquette, and all their actions are restricted. There are very few differences between them, and wealth matters the most to them. Their lives might not be that interesting or legendary.”
The most attractive part about Wen Xinya was that she had the elegance and class of an heiress belonging to the upper-class society, but also the straightforwardness and ruthlessness of a gangster. She embodied the two starkly different qualities perfectly and could carry herself well.
Feeling a little bewildered, Wen Xinya said, “But, my image is too complicated and it’s not positive enough. Others will definitely find fault with me. Poise is an age-old brand, isn’t the editor afraid that I would affect the reputation of the magazine?”
Si Yiyan said, “The youthful vibe doesn’t match their usual style, and it’s all about perfection. Nowadays, people pursue unique fashion and creating clout is the essential factor, just like television dramas that need a punch line to be interesting and popular. The world belongs to the younger generation now, and your life is legendary and full of vibrancy. Hence, it would be perfect for a topic of discussion.
“In the eyes of others, your life is full of positivity, partly because you could transform from a gangster to a resplendent and glorious heiress. No one can doubt your hard work and efforts. This is the positivity that has created your motivation.
“You’re enjoying too much glory, which brings you a lot of attention and a massive following. At the same time, it also makes your life much more interesting than other heiresses.
“You have an esteemed grandfather who’s a respected figure in the literary world. Old Mr. Mo commands great respect from everyone in the world and he was the one who’s taught you. Hence, everyone will want to get to know about him more through you. Of course… some people would like to know about the evolution of your life and how you changed.
“Most importantly, the Ai Shang product launch is still ongoing and the Xiao Family was almost ruined by the Wen Family. You’ve also gained lots of fame and glory because of that. Even the media has been reporting about you continuously. It doesn’t make sense for Poise to let go of this opportunity to report about you and push sales.”
Poise Magazine had good intentions for making Wen Xinya the main figure of the next issue, and it would be advantageous to We Xinya as well. Si Yiyan felt that Wen Xinya ought to place more emphasis on creating a polished image for herself in the upper-class society. It would be important for her to accept more interviews from renowned magazines and television channels.
Wen Xinya’s head began to spin and she said with an angry pout, “Oh dear! It’s too complicated.”
Si Yiyan chuckled and said, “I’ve just pointed out some important points. There are still some details, but it doesn’t matter!”
There were endless outstanding qualities that she possessed.
After understanding what he meant, Wen Xinya stopped feeling conflicted. “I’ll reply Chief Editor Miao tomorrow.”
Since the cooperation with Poise Magazine was a win-win situation, she reckoned that she did not have to consider or dwell on it too much. She definitely wouldn’t let go of the chance to build an image for herself.
Si Yiyan peeled a large litchi that bloomed in June. It was big, sweet, juicy and delectable. Wen Xinya enjoyed eating it a lot.
Wen Xinya rested her head on his shoulder while enjoying the litchi. “Si Yiyan, I heard that Southern litchis are delicious. I want to try them.”
Si Yiyan answered, “I’ll get Gu Yuehan to arrange it later.”
Wen Xinya pecked Si Yiyan on his face and exclaimed in joy, “Si Yiyan, you’re so good to me!”
Si Yiyan remained silent while smiling.
Suddenly reminded of something, Wen Xinya asked, “Si Yiyan… are you thinking of announcing our relationship to everyone?”
For the past few days, she had been running into Si Yiyan wherever she went, even during her fishing trip with Old Mr. Wen. At last, he ended up having a joyous conversation with Old Mr. Wen.
Si Yiyan grinned and said, “Yes! I do have such intentions. What do you think?”
Actually, he was well aware that she was not dead against the idea of announcing their relationship to everyone despite being unwilling to do so.
Sometimes, his identity was also a burden. If he were a normal man, their relationship would probably already have been made known by now and he could date her openly. Yet, he had a special identity and Wen Xinya would be at a disadvantage if everyone found out about their relationship. They would begin doubting her abilities and denying her hard work.
Wen Xinya gently wrapped an arm around Si Yiyan’s waist and rubbed his arm tenderly. “We’ve already been together for so long. We can’t keep being in a clandestine relationship, it’s unfair to you. Besides… it’s not like you’re a sordid person who has to be kept hidden.”
Si Yiyan said smilingly, “Don’t worry, baby. Since I want to make our relationship public, I’ll take your feelings into consideration. I may be the leader of Xiasi Group, but no one knows who I am. I plan to show up beside you using the identity of your Grampy’s student. What do you think?”
His girl had had a hard time making it thus far, how could he bear to allow her efforts to be doubted?
Upon hearing his words, Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up and she exclaimed, “Ah! How did I not think of that? No one would know who you are so long as you don’t reveal the fact that you’re the leader of Xiasi Group.”
Si Yiyan kissed her gently and said, “Yes! From now on, I can appear beside you openly and protect you.”
He had already had such intentions in the past, but Wen Xinya had just turned legal and was still in high school. It would be inappropriate for there to be a man appearing out of nowhere. Now that she was done with her final examinations, she would be admitted to university soon. Hence, it would be normal for her to have a boyfriend.
