Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1267 - Yes, Mrs. Si!

Chapter 1267: Yes, Mrs. Si!

After the meeting ended, Wen Xinya left Lanxin Company and Yan Shaoqing proceeded to prepare for the sponsorship for Zhishan Club. Li Mengjie also proceeded to arrange the events that would be taking place in the storefront.
Zheng Yifan packed up and got ready to leave the office. As soon as he reached the door, he felt a hand being placed on her shoulder. Ouyang Feng said with a sheepish grin, “Are you finding it unbelievable and unfathomable?”
Zheng Yifan was slightly startled by Ouyang Feng’s random words, though he understood what he meant. He knew that Ouyang Feng was referring to the issue of trust. Actually, he was no fool and could tell from their behavior during the meeting that the senior employees of Lanxin Company trusted Wen Xinya blindly.
Although he chose to try trusting Wen Xinya, he still could not understand it.
Ouyang Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, “You’ll find out the reason soon.”
Ouyang Feng left suavely, leaving Zheng Yifan in suspense. Zheng Yifan stood rooted to the ground in confusion.
Of course, Wen Xinya had no idea about their exchange.
Wen Xinya returned to the apartment to see that Si Yiyan was not home, nor was he in the study of the apartment next door. She had gotten used to seeing Si Yiyan doing work on the couch whenever she came home as if he were waiting for her. Hence, she felt a little empty and disappointed now that Si Yiyan was not there.
Ever since she got to know Si Yiyan, he had been flying to places like Italy, Russia, as well as other regions in the world from time to time. However, they still got to spend plenty of time together. She had no idea if staying in Capital city for the long term would affect Si Yiyan’s career, since the core of his career was not in China. Although Si Yiyan was also managing businesses in China, she still felt that Si Yiyan had done too much for her.
Wen Xinya soon snapped out of her dejected mood. “In that case, I shall treat him better.”
Wen Xinya freshened up and headed to the kitchen. She planned to make some herbal soups and dinner for Si Yiyan. She discovered that he would eat an extra bowl of rice whenever she cooked for him.
Wen Xinya cooked some steamed reeves which were fresh and juicy. The flesh was refreshing, too. Wen Xinya first brewed some soup using various herbs before drenching the reeves in soup and allowing it to be steamed. The steamed fish was fresh and fragrant and the flesh was also plump and tender. The herbs surprisingly did not taste too bitter and even served as an appetizer.
It was a kind of soup that suited Si Yiyan the most.
Wen Xinya also made some braised eel which would help with strengthening the spleen and kidney.
When Wen Xinya was almost done with preparing the dishes when she heard the sounds of the door being opened.
She frantically scurried towards the door to see that Si Yiyan was carrying a briefcase and entering the house. “What’s that aroma?”
“Dinner is ready. I made your favorite dishes,” Wen Xinya said, before grabbing the briefcase and his coat. She hung it on the hanger before grabbing the pair of home slippers that he frequently wore and handing it to him.
Si Yiyan removed his shoes and put the slippers on. Staring at her with glistening eyes, he said, “I happen to be hungry, too.”
Wen Xinya did not notice the look in Si Yiyan’s eyes. She squatted down and placed his shoes in the cabinet. “Hurry and go wash your hands. We’ll get to eat very soon.”
Si Yiyan stepped forth and pulled Wen Xinya into his arms. He kissed her face and chuckled before whispering into her ear, “Yes, Mrs. Si!”
She blushed and nudged him. “Stop it. Hurry and go wash your hands. The food is getting cold.”
Although he often teased her and called her his wife, “Milady” or “Baby”, he had never addressed her as “Mrs. Si” before. She quite liked it because it made her feel like they were an old married couple.
“Mrs. Si, you seemed to have forgotten something.” He then pointed at his face and continued, “Your husband is home after a long day of work. Shouldn’t you be giving him a kiss to show him how much you missed him?”
“You have so many rules.” Although Wen Xinya had been teased, the atmosphere was rather warm. Hence, she suppressed her urge to roll her eyes and glare at him. Instead, she tiptoed and planted a kiss on Si Yiyan’s face.
Si Yiyan’s frown disappeared and he pulled Wen Xinya into the living room. “Mrs. Si is not only beautiful and smart, but she’s also virtuous and good at keeping the house together. It’s my blessing to have a wife like you!”
He was greeted with the sight of her being gentle and meticulous as soon as he opened the door. It was as if they were living life as an old married couple.
Wen Xinya could be composed and shrewd, but she could also be virtuous and cook for him. She could also swallow her pride and serve him well. A woman like her was all he needed.
Wen Xinya glowered at him, thinking to herself, I knew it, I can’t be too nice to him. This man is the best at pushing his boundaries.
Si Yiyan proceeded to wash his hands.
Wen Xinya placed the dishes on the table. There were four dishes and a bowl of seaweed and shrimp soup.
Staring at the sumptuous dinner spread, Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Seems like I’m in for a treat today.”
Wen Xinya could not help but chide him. “Since when are you not in for a treat?”
Even before they cohabited, she always meticulously arranged his meals and she was also the one who had taught Mrs. Tan how to cook the herbal soups that he often drank. After they moved into the apartment, she would whip up different delicacies for him every day.
Wen Xinya continuously helped Si Yiyan to the food. “Have more. Autumn is good for nourishing the spleen and liver, as well as replenishing Qi. It’s the best season for treating your ailment.”
Hence, Wen Xinya began cooking him different kinds of herbal soups as soon as Autumn arrived, though she followed Du Ruo’s recipes closely.
Si Yiyan said smilingly, “The people from ancient times often say that Autumn is good for nourishments. The essence of blood is otherwise known as Qi and when men have too much Qi, there would be problems with the Yang element. What do you think… we should do?”
After all these years, he had also experienced the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal recipes with the most obvious one being the major improvement of his health. He had also become sharper, quicker and more agile. Thanks to Wen Xinya, his body was in the best physical state.
During lunch, he kept teasing her too. Unable to take it any longer, Wen Xinya snapped. “Do you want me to give you some viagra so that you can vent your sexual frustration?”
Wen Xinya accidentally sounded uncouth.
While eating the dishes slowly, Si Yiyan said, “Good suggestion, but I like directing it myself.”
Turning red and embarrassed, Wen Xinya exclaimed, “Don’t talk when you’re eating!”
