Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1123 - Making Waves

Chapter 1123: Making Waves

Wen Haowen thought that it would be the end of the entertainment city project. Although he had been obeying Ning Shuqian and pushing himself to go to work as usual, his anger and frustration had long begun eroding his rationality.
However, he did not expect that Ning Shuqian would really have a way to revive the entertainment city project by coming up with a cooperation and investment plan. Although it was not approved immediately, he knew that the shareholders would be tempted and approve of it sooner or later.
By then, the entertainment city project would resume as planned.
Meanwhile, Wen Xinya would also have no reason to stop the project from proceeding.
Hence, he would be the winner of the battle.
After taking a shower, Ning Shuqian strutted out of the bathroom sultrily, clad in a translucent and sexy nightdress which exposed her skin. The sheer fabric provided a sense of mysteriousness which was rather seductive, just like her silky smooth legs.
Extremely enticed, Wen Haowen suddenly removed his tie and teased. “Qianqian, let me take a whiff of your body and see how you taste.”
Ning Shuqian pushed Wen Haowen’s chest and chided. “Jerk, when have you become so eager when it comes to sex?”
While groping and fondling Ning Shuqian, Wen Haowen grinned lecherously and teased. “Who told you to seduce me and make me become so obsessed with you, you little vixen?”
Ning Shuqian managed to get Wen Haowen even more aroused by keeping him in suspense and playing hard to get. “I’m a little tired today. I don’t have the energy to serve you anymore.”
Wen Haowen did not find it to be a killjoy at all. He magically whipped out an exquisite jewelry box and said, “Qianqian, take a look and see what this is.”
Having been married to Ning Shuqian for so many years, he naturally knew that Ning Shuqian fancied jewelry. Ning Shuqian was also the reason the entertainment city project could be salvaged and he still needed her help in the near future. Hence, he decided to coax her and make her become devoted to him. He would stand to gain from that as well.
Extremely surprised, Ning Shuqian asked, “Is this… for me?”
All women loved jewelry, and Wen Haowen had been gifting her with jewelry throughout the years. However, ever since her false pregnancy was exposed, he rarely gave her any presents. Although she looked down on Wen Haowen and despised him deep down, he could satisfy her material needs and put a smile on her face because he fed her vanity.
Wen Haowen smiled and said, “I’ve already put it in front of you. Who else could it be for, if not you?”
Noticing the look of surprise and joy on her face as she kept her eyes glued onto the box, Wen Haowen knew that he had given her the right present.
Ning Shuqian grabbed it happily and opened the box, after which she was greeted with the sight of a beautiful blue gem. “Oh my god, it’s beautiful!”
At the instant that she saw the diamond, Ning Shuqian was reminded of the Heart of the Ocean that she used to treasure. However, she realized that it was not as large as the Heart of the Ocean, though it was not too far behind. The deep and beautiful blue color of the eye-catching diamond made Ning Shuqian fall in love with it at first sight. She could not take her eyes off it at all.
The thought of the Heart of the Ocean made Ning Shuqian feel incredibly exasperated. If it weren’t because of Wen Xinya, the Heart of the Ocean would have already been hers.
Wen Haowen said smilingly, “This diamond is called Wave and weighs 25.3 grams. It’s very rare, has high clarity and a pure color. Although it can’t compare to the Heart of the Ocean, I went through painstaking means to get it. I know that you adored the Heart of the Ocean dearly, so I hope that this diamond can make up for it.”
He had managed to purchase the diamond during a private auction and it was closely similar to the Heart of the Ocean in terms of quality and design, which was also the reason why it was named Wave. He had spent a hefty 5 million yuan on the diamond, just so he could please Ning Shuqian.
Extremely touched, Ning Shuqian teared up and began sobbing. “Haowen, you’re so good to me.”
Regardless of whether Wen Haowen was true to her or not, she was genuinely touched and also found the diamond to be incredibly beautiful.
Wen Haowen held onto her hand and grabbed the diamond before saying, “You’ve given me so much help and the entertainment city could only be salvaged because of you and your connections with Madam Zhang. I know that you’re good to me.”
Wen Haowen gently lifted up her curly tresses and helped her put the diamond necklace on with a look of sincerity.
The shiny diamond in front of her collarbones was absolutely captivating.
Wen Haowen smiled and said, “Beautiful. Big diamonds really do suit you well.”
Ning Shuqian leaped into Wen Haowen’s embrace and said, “Haowen, the shareholders have yet to approve of the cooperation. Wen Xinya… is not going to give up. We have to be careful not to create unnecessary trouble.”
She was not worried about the shareholders at all. Wen Haowen’s attitude was proof of his confidence in winning over the shareholders. Her only concern was Wen Xinya.
She had her guard up against Wen Xinya because the latter had tried to terminate the project time and time again.
Wen Haowen sneered. “I was too careless to overlook the fact that Wen Xinya has someone behind her. She tried to use Jiayuan Club to stop the project from proceeding, but this time… I won’t let her have it her way. She already has no reason to stop the project and the development will go on successfully.”
The thought of how Wen Xinya would feel after finding out about her failure to stop the project made him feel extremely thrilled and less annoyed by the humiliation he suffered during the board meeting.
Wen Xinya is the one who’s utterly foolish and senseless!
Ning Shuqian nodded and cautioned. “That may be the case, but we still have to be careful. She has the old man to support her.”
Although the cooperation would allow the entertainment city to be completed as soon as possible, there were too many details to look out for and there would also be trouble. However, Wen Xinya had indeed no reason to object to it.
The mention of Old Mr. Wen made Wen Haowen’s face grow sullen. “I know.”
Two days ago, he specially visited Old Mr. Wen to warn him against Wen Xinya. Yet, Old Mr. Wen gave him a lashing.
Old fogy, just you wait. You’ll definitely regret this.
