Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 946 - The First Argument

Chapter 946: The First Argument

They were seated in the bulletproof black-colored Mercedes S600 Pullman Guard which did not allow light to penetrate through it. The black and opaque bulletproof windows blocked them from the view outside.
The dim yellow lights in the car were warm and the thick divider had also prevented the curious driver from peeking at them. Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan were left alone in the narrow space.
At this moment, the tiny space became her world.
Wen Xinya finally realized that she was still holding the document in her hand. She then stuffed it into Si Yiyan’s hand and said, “Hurry and take a look at what’s inside. I promise you’ll get a great shock after seeing it.”
Previously, she had deliberately made Avrora use the document as a stake so as to make Avrora embarrassed. Hence, when Avrora actually took out the document, she could not help but get a great shock. At that instant, she felt an urge to be despicable and get the document at all costs. There were lots of horses in the stable, but they were inferior compared to Snow White, Avrora’s horse. This was also the reason why Avrora insisted on competing with her. Hence, Wen Xinya immediately picked Burning Flame and decided to take the risk.
Even though Wen Xinya knew that her horseback riding skills were impeccable, she was actually not that confident because Burning Flame was extremely wild and untamed. On top of that, she had never interacted with it before.
However, at that instant, her feelings for Si Yiyan had eroded her rationality and she decided to take on the challenge without hesitation. She decided not to think about losing the competition and the consequences that would entail if she were to lose Lucifer’s matriarchal token which Si Yiyan had given her.
She decided not to think about whether or not the horse would shake her off its back and cause her to die by breaking her neck or her limbs.
Reason being, she was determined to win at that moment. Victory was a double-edged sword that would either stab her opponent or herself.
The knife was called being dauntless!
She felt that she had loved Si Yiyan enough to be fearless.
Si Yiyan glanced at her coldly and grabbed the document envelope, after which he untied a string and retrieved the document inside.
His pupils immediately turned black as his face turned sullen. At this moment, he looked terrifyingly stern and austere that even Wen Xinya was frightened.
“This is Duke Moville’s privilege transferral document. You’re really something, huh?” He put the document back inside the envelope and flung it onto the couch without taking another look. As if it did not matter at all.
Wen Xinya could not quite figure out what he meant. She had never seen such a mysterious expression on Si Yiyan’s face before. “I overheard Xu Xianghu mentioning this document which will allow Lucifer to be free from the restrictions of the aristocrats, so…”
Si Yiyan cut her off. “So you decided to be so brazen as to risk your life setting Avrora up and coercing her into using this document as a stake of your competition. You ignored the possible risks of riding an untamed horse and took a great risk so as to win the competition and get this document. Is that so?”
He sounded harsh and austere.
Wen Xinya hung her head low and answered softly, “I just thought that it would be worth giving a try. Besides, I know that you really need this document. Since it was in front of me, I felt the urge to grasp it because I would regret it if I didn’t.”
She knew that Si Yiyan was upset because she had failed to consider the risks and dangers of getting the document. In hindsight, she realized that the matter was not as simple as she had imagined and a slight mistake would cause her to suffer dire consequences.
Si Yiyan interrupted sternly. “You’re right, I do need this. And I’d have to go to great lengths to obtain it. But I don’t need you to do that for me. I’ll get whatever I need by myself, regardless of what it takes.”
His high-pitched voice was commanding and domineering. His words were just like a huge boulder placed on Wen Xinya’s chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
“What do you mean?” Wen Xinya questioned, staring at him angrily with exasperation pouring out of her bloodshot eyes, making her look cold and intimidating under the dim lights.
Si Yiyan looked her in the eye and retorted. “Do you know what you did?”
She had no idea what went through his mind at the instant that he saw the document which was the reason he decided to attend Duke Moville’s banquet. However, he had never thought of getting her to risk her life in order to obtain it.
Wen Xinya sneered. “I don’t know what wrong I have done. I just know that you needed this, so I did everything I could to get it.”
Si Yiyan frowned slightly and said, “Wen Xinya, be more rational.”
The document was nothing compared to her safety.
Wen Xinya flew into a rage and she screeched. “I was indeed irrational, but what do you want me to do? Do you actually expect me to watch the Moville Family use their power and authority to coerce you into marrying Avrora?”
Si Yiyan instinctively explained, “You know I wouldn’t…”
Wen Xinya interrupted, her voice as cold as a dagger. “Yes… I know. You are prideful and you won’t agree to it even if I didn’t exist. However… I don’t want to give you the option, regardless of whether you choose to agree or keep mum. I want you to achieve your goals.
“As your girlfriend, I have the right to say something, don’t I? I don’t want anyone harboring designs on my man. Neither do I want to use these privileges to test my man’s loyalty towards me. I don’t want to give anyone the chance to take advantage of you, either. Since I love you, I want to hold you tightly even if I have to go through despicable means.
“I’ll kill whoever vies with me for my man!
“I’ll kill whoever harbors designs on my man, even if it’s someone from the Moville Family.”
She had long sensed that something was amiss when she caught Avrora gazing at Si Yiyan affectionately without restraint in the private room, a stark contrast to the way she behaved on the previous occasion. During then, she knew that Duke Moville must have approved of her carrying a torch for Si Yiyan. That was the reason why Avrora acted that way.
Later on, when Duke Moville made Avrora brew tea, Wen Xinya began to guess his intentions, though she was unsure if she was right. That was why she could not stop thinking about the ancient painting that Duke Moville had given her.
Since Avrora openly tried to snatch the earring away from her, she decided to make Avrora pay the price of angering her.
After finding out from Avrora that she had guessed correctly, she no longer regretted her decision.
