Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 923 - What Tricks Are You Getting Up To?

Chapter 923: What Tricks Are You Getting Up To?
Si Yiyan grabbed her hand and poured some alcohol into the glass. He then held her in his arms and kissed her. “Baby, you keep feeding me with alcohol. It won’t be good if I embarrass myself in front of Duke Moville.”
Wen Xinya smiled and filled Si Yiyan’s glass with liquor.
Staring at them getting intimate with each other, Avrora suppressed her jealousy and hurriedly said, “Alcohol is bad for your health. You should drink less!” She then glanced at the servants beside her and said, “I remember Grandpa getting a box of exquisite Liuan Guapian green tea leaves. Bring it here for the guests to taste it.”
She was trying to use a gentle and tender tone to show how virtuous she was so as to feel more confident.
Unfortunately, no one bothered to take notice.
While holding Wen Xinya in his arms, Si Yiyan jested. “I have to travel more than 7000 kilometers from China to Russia for business all the time. It’s an arduous journey. If anyone is willing to take over, I’ll be willing to let it go.”
He was just trying to prove that Lucifer had been going strong for more than a century and was irreplaceable in both China and Russia.
No one could replace Lucifer’s status in the upper-class society of Russia, let alone replace their financial power and influence on the Russian economy. They had proven their abilities through their actions.
At this juncture, there was already no point in continuing the conversation anymore. Duke Moville fiddled with some spheres in his hands which produced loud and crisp sounds when knocked against each other.
“Enough. Even if you’re willing to let the businesses go, no one would dare to take over.”
It meant that those who were incapable could not afford to take over the business.
At this moment, a few waitresses entered with trays in their hands.
The fragrance of tea filled the air immediately and the atmosphere began to feel more leisurely.
The waitresses placed the white glazed teacups in front of everyone.
They were clean, polished and stunningly beautiful!
Avrora glanced at one of the waitresses.
That waitress walked towards Wen Xinya and placed the tray down.
At this moment, Si Yiyan suddenly pushed the teacup towards Wen Xinya and exclaimed, “You may have mine!”
The waitress then paused in her actions and instinctively glanced at Avrora. Avrora had a change of expression, after which she hung her head low and began fiddling with the cover of the teapot.
At this moment, Boris ordered. “Leave once you’ve placed the teacups down.”
The waitress placed the teacup beside Si Yiyan while the other waitresses exited the room with the trays.
Duke Moville smiled and said, “Avrora is so meticulous. I actually forgot that you Chinese enjoy tasting tea, unlike us Russians who can’t live without alcohol.”
Russian men loved drinking alcohol and drunkards could often be seen on the streets.
Avrora blushed radiantly like a peony in bloom. “Grandpa, you’ve flattered me. I’ve only been paying attention to Chinese culture because of… Rex. I’m not that meticulous.”
She then glanced at Si Yiyan intently with affection and admiration.
Si Yiyan tasted the tea and guffawed after a moment of silence. “Indeed, this is superior tea. It’s hard to find even in Russia.”
Hanging her head low, Wen Xinya removed the lid of the porcelain teacup, in which emerald green leaves floated on the surface of the water. The leaves were all about the same shape and size and they slowly began to sink, revealing the clear and glistening tea.
First it was drugs, followed by Duke Mo, and now it was Avrora’s turn to pull a trick. Just what did Duke Moville had up his sleeve?
What was the real meaning behind that ancient painting?
She glanced at Si Yiyan while keeping her emotions hidden.
Duke Moville was old and cunning. Si Yiyan knew how scheming he was.
Duke Moville and Si Yiyan began discussing tea.
Duke Moville smiled and said, “Avrora has always been interested in Chinese tea and she’s learned about tea-brewing techniques. She knows more than I do.”
Blushing shyly, Avrora’s gray eyes began to glass over and she gazed at Si Yiyan. “Grandpa is just like most Russian men. He loves drinking and prefers alcohol to tea. Rex, if you like it, I’ll get the servants to prepare some tea leaves for you that you can bring home.”
Si Yiyan smiled and thanked. “In that case, thank you, Miss Avrora!”
Wen Xinya began to feel a little jealous. Although it would be inappropriate for him to turn her down under such circumstances, she still could not tolerate the idea of Avrora openly flirting with her man.
Happiness was written all over Avrora’s face.
Si Yiyan hugged Wen Xinya and said, “Bella has always enjoyed the refined fragrance of green tea.”
Wen Xinya fed a grape to Si Yiyan and said, “I’m surprised that you remember the tea that I like. Here’s a reward for you.”
Si Yiyan nibbled on her ear gently and affectionately.
Wen Xinya immediately blushed at the thought about the words that Si Yiyan said—”I’d prefer it if you reward me in bed.”
Avrora appeared a little infuriated. She thought that Rex had already accepted her token. Yet, it was all because of Wen Xinya. She was just about to speak.
Duke Moville burst into laughter and said, “I didn’t expect that Rex would be so meticulous towards Miss Bella.”
Si Yiyan was too busy with picking out some delectable snacks for Wen Xinya to even answer Duke Moville.
Instead of getting angry, Duke Moville glanced at Wen Xinya and said, “Miss Bella, you must be bored listening to our conversation with Rex!” Before even allowing Wen Xinya to answer, he glanced at Avrora and instructed. “Avrora, bring Miss Bella out for a breather.”
Wen Xinya smiled and remained silent.
Avrora said smilingly, “Miss Bella and I don’t know anything about business at all. It’s indeed very boring for us to stay here.” She then said to Wen Xinya, “Miss Bella, let’s go out to catch some fresh air! There are many scenic spots here in Duke Moville’s Residence. There are some socialites riding horses in the mansion too.”
Wen Xinya knew that she ought to heed the host’s instructions. Hence, she smiled and agreed. “Sure!”
Si Yiyan said calmly, “Liu Yanhua, accompany Miss Bella! It’s her first time here at the residence. I don’t want her to offend the host.”
He just wanted Liu Yanhua to protect Wen Xinya.
