Chapter 1512: I Will Be Responsible for Being Pretty as a Flower
By the time Si Yiyan finished preparing two steaks and brought them out to the living room, Wen Xinya was already standing primly by the side, having already bathed and changed into a long white dress with rose-leaf flowers lining the hem. The delicate dress did not overshadow her beauty at all but instead added to her loveliness and luminosity. The elegant flowers were the best fodder for her own allure.
She was truly a beguiling lady in the prime of her youth!
Si Yiyan’s heart skipped a beat. He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Rose-leaf flowers had always been described as pure and pristine, its shade of white radiant and lustrous. No other flower bloomed so exquisitely, so richly and with such a flawless white hue. There was also no paint in the world that could imitate that luminous white color.
That luxuriant white was at once too dazzling and overwhelming. The richness of that flower would cast a shadow over a lesser beauty who possessed a weaker aura.
But Xinya was different. She had a gorgeous face with refined features, crystal-clear skin, and an elegantly poised bearing. Paired with that lovely dress, they brought out each other’s alluring charms to awe-inspiring heights.
Wen Xinya couldn’t help smiling coquettishly when she saw his bewitched expression. The smile blossomed across her face like a crop of gloriously blazing flowers. “Why are you looking at me like that? You look like you want to eat me up.”
Wen Xinya always knew that Si Yiyan liked to see her dressed in white. The nightgowns, vests, and undergarments he had prepared for her were all white. This dress was personally designed by her and was a surprise for Si Yiyan. Therefore, Wen Xinya was thrilled at his look of amazement.
Si Yiyan placed the dishes he was holding on the table and drew her into his arms. He desperately wished to press her flesh right into his so that they would merge and never part. “You are right. The thing which I most desire now is to eat you up.”
Si Yiyan had always taken pride in his self-control—but the sight of Wen Xinya always weakened his resolve. And now before this dazzling vision of Wen Xinya garbed in white—his willpower had become even more fragile.
Wen Xinya knew this all along.
It was an outright seduction when she dressed like this.
Wen Xinya said coyly, “That won’t do. If you eat me up, where else will you find such a wonderful girlfriend like me, who is both good company and good in the kitchen?”
Her intentionally amorous and flirtatious words aroused him.
“You left out one thing.” Si Yiyan gazed at her long, lustrous hair pinned back neatly with an exquisite white jade flower hairpin. The contrast between her dark hair and that fair jade piece was elegant and captivating.
Wen Xinya was momentarily taken aback before suddenly blushing deeply. She instinctively looked down and whined in a low voice. “Dirty mouth. What a good-for-nothing you are.”
Wen Xinya easily guessed that the one thing she had left out was most definitely “good in bed”. It was not the first time Si Yiyan had spoken like that. He was constantly staring at her nether regions until she couldn’t even be bothered to complain anymore.
Si Yiyan looked down only to see her gently lower her head, revealing her elegant, fair neck. Her luminous skin glowed like the moonlight and his heart involuntarily shuddered. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the rising agitation in his heart. “You are right. All men are good-for-nothings.”
Wen Xinya lifted her face and retorted with petulance. “You are the one who is good-for-nothing. How can you drag all the other men down to your level?”
But her tone was not overly righteous. As the saying goes: “all crows were equally black”. And so all men were the same.
Si Yiyan saw that her blush was fading, as lovely as the setting sun. He couldn’t help licking her forehead. “If you say I am good-for-nothing, then I am good-for-nothing. From today onwards, you will be in charge of earning money for the household, while I will be responsible for being as pretty as a flower. Will that make you happy?”
Wen Xinya burst out laughing. She scrutinized Si Yiyan’s face with sparkling, serious eyes. “You are indeed as pretty as a flower!”
With that, she was overcome with giggles.
Si Yiyan was still wearing the beige, flowered apron she had placed on him earlier as a joke. As there was a vast difference in height between the two of them, the apron, which looked so adorable on her, only managed to cover a small part of his abdomen. He looked like he was wearing a belly-band worn by babies in the ancient times. It was inexplicably hilarious.
Si Yiyan looked down at the little apron he was wearing and pinched her nose in exasperation. “Mischievous little imp!”
He started taking off that apron.
“Don’t take it off. You really look very good in it.” Wen Xinya was still laughing. Her shiny jade flower earrings dangling from her lobes swayed gently as she laughed, making her look indescribably enchanting.
A grown man wearing a little apron meant for a woman was really quite funny, but somehow also made him look more balanced. It was as if he had shed his high-and-mighty halo and instantly become a homely, good man.
Nevertheless, Si Yiyan was still a homely, good man even when he was not wearing an apron.
Si Yiyan looked at her lips, just inches away from him. To match her white outfit, she had put on a pale lip color that made her lips look exceptionally plump and tender. Whenever she parted her lips slightly, the contrast between the faint, pinkish lip color and the deep red line between looked especially inviting.
Si Yiyan took a sudden step forward and pounced on her like a ferocious panther hunting in the forest. In less than a second, he was kissing those slightly parted lips which looked so lovely and enchanting.
Caught off guard, Wen Xinya took a step back and knocked heavily into the side of the black glass table behind her. Jolted by the pain, she instinctively placed her hands on the edge of the table to steady herself.
But very quickly, Si Yiyan’s body was pressed up against her again.
After kissing for a bit, Si Yiyan shifted away slightly. “Xinya!”
“Mmm?” Wen Xinya’s eyes were dazed and she was gasping softly, her low voice sounding wondrously beguiling.
“You are gorgeous today!” So gorgeous that he was nearly being driven insane!
With that, Si Yiyan’s lips once again pressed against hers. But this time, he was as soft and gentle as he was fierce and aggressive earlier.
He once again took complete control over Wen Xinya’s fuzzy consciousness. She belatedly absorbed his words and derived a sweet sense of satisfaction from them.
