Chapter 998: I’ve Returned
At about three in the afternoon, the helicopter landed in the private hangar of Lishan Mansion.
Wen Xinya slowly disembarked from the aircraft while the loud sounds of the propeller rang in her ears. The wind that it generated was so strong that she almost got blown away.
She finally snapped out of her trance. It was the end of her 12-day trip to Russia.
Although it was not quite that pleasant of a trip, Wen Xinya still felt incredibly blessed.
During the first few days of the trip, Si Yiyan accompanied her all day and took her to visit various scenic spots and tourist attractions in the city. Hand in hand with their fingers interlocked, they strolled along the streets of Russia where history and heritage were rich. He explained to her in a clear and refined voice about Russia’s history as well as the evolution of the cities. He was rather eloquent and managed to make the boring history sound extremely interesting.
They had also taken several photos of themselves in the city.
Si Yiyan would accompany her while she shopped, bringing her to all the famous malls and luxury stalls in the city without losing his patience at all. Sometimes, he would scour the stores just to get her a beautiful piece of clothing or jewelry. They would also behave like other ordinary couples, publicly displaying their affection for each other by smooching and hugging on the streets.
In the evening, Si Yiyan would take her to the movies where they watched obsolete Russian movies about World War II, which encompa.s.sed the full history and culture of Russia, as well as the citizens’ stubbornness when it came to love. At the same time, the films also depicted the sorrowful scenes of departure and heartwarming scenes of reunion, all of which moved Wen Xinya to tears. He would meticulously kiss her tears away, after which they would cuddle and whisper sweet nothings while exploring each other’s body.
Of course, the only imperfection was that Si Yiyan was too attractive, so much that she had to evolve into a fierce woman to defend her man!
She also disclosed some secrets during the incidents that took place at Duke Moville’s banquet and Elegance Room. That could not compare to dating at all. However, she was glad that she had found out more about Si Yiyan’s background and even got involved in his life in Russia. Becoming stronger and better was the only thing that she had to do now.
Wen Xinya took a deep breath as her thoughts began to clear up.
Back in China, she was no longer Lucifer’s matriarch or Rex’s fiancée. She was only Wen Xinya, the heiress of the Wen Family, the future successor of the Wen Corporation and Si Yiyan’s beloved woman.
At this moment, Si Yiyan called her. “Have you arrived?”
He still sounded refined and even more so affectionate. Wen Xinya held onto her phone while a smile graced her face, for she was unable to contain her joy. “Yes, I just arrived. I got a call from you as soon as my feet landed on the ground. Are you stalking me?”
She then grinned widely from ear to ear.
“Mmm!” Si Yiyan nodded.
Wen Xinya asked softly, “How are things going on Lucifer’s side?”
Seven-odd hours were more than enough for them to do lots of things.
Si Yiyan answered, “Plan A has been executed smoothly and the situation is in control now. Nothing has gone wrong.”
Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief and reminded. “Take note of your safety. Don’t get hurt.”
She had truly gotten terrified after Si Yiyan sustained injuries time and time again. She was not too worried about the wound on his arm since the st.i.tches had already been removed and it had already recovered. She was actually worried about his old ailment and was afraid that he would get a relapse during the major operation carried out by Lucifer.
She decided that she would find out more about the remedies from Old Mr. Du. It had been three months, but Si Yiyan had yet to show any signs of recovery or improvement. She would be ill at ease so long as he didn’t recover.
Si Yiyan said, “I might have to stay in Russia for a long while. Be good and wait for my return!”
Wen Xinya expressed a.s.sent. Finding that her answer was not formal enough, she added, “Alright!”
After chatting for a while, they ended the call.
At the instant that the call was ended, Si Yiyan s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto the screen and stared at Wen Xinya’s photo for a moment before switching off his mobile phone. He then put on his black bulletproof vest and picked up the dragon pendant, after which he kissed it and put it back onto his neck. He picked up the glistening gun, “The Killer”, before turning around to leave the study.
Wen Xinya had no idea what happened at all.
At this moment, Liu Yanhua had already sent Wen Xinya back to the Wen Family home.
Her short trip had finally come to an end.
When they left for Russia, they had only brought along small suitcases. Yet, they lugged several large bags and suitcases back together with them. The servants helped Wen Xinya move her belongings to the room. All her things had already piled up.
Mother w.a.n.g smiled and said, “Missy, it’s rare that you get to go on a summer break. Why are you back so soon? You should have spent a few more days on a vacation.”
Mother w.a.n.g actually took pity on Wen Xinya, whom she had watched grow up. Ever since Wen Xinya reunited with the Wen Family, she had been putting in a ton of effort and hard work to get to where she was today and she indeed rarely relaxed.
Auntie Wu smiled and said, “Fortunately, you’re back early Missy. Old Sir has been nagging about you the past few days.”
She often felt that Old Mr. Wen was too strict with Wen Xinya and the two of them rarely communicated outside of work. However, Old Mr. Wen actually missed Wen Xinya and showed his concern towards her when she was away on a vacation.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I’ll go and see Grandpa now.”
As soon as Wen Xinya entered the living room, the servants began greeting her fervently and she would respond with a smile.
Upon sight of Old Mr. Wen sitting on the couch and reading some newspapers, she walked towards him smilingly and said, “Grandpa, your granddaughter is back.”
Old Mr. Wen put down the financial newspapers and said, “Hurry, come here and take a seat.”
Old Mr. Wen was thrilled to see his granddaughter’s return. Happiness was written all over his face and his wrinkles seemed to have faded.
Wen Xinya took a seat beside him and said, “Grandpa, I told the kitchen helpers to prepare medicinal soups for you while I’m away. Have you been taking them regularly? Have you been eating the medicine prescribed by the hospital, too? Do you feel any discomfort?”
Old Mr. Wen smiled and said, “Take a look at yourself. You’re becoming so nosy and naggy. You’re asking about my condition as soon as you’re back. Well, I’m still the same old me.”
He did not find her presence to be too significant when he saw her daily in the past. However, ever since she went on a vacation, he had been feeling like something was missing because she was not by his side to accompany him. The atmosphere seemed to have become quieter and boring without her, making him find it a little strange.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I was just worried that you’d tire yourself out by focusing too much time and attention on the preparations for the charity fund, Grandpa.”
Old Mr. Wne developed a pa.s.sion for philanthropy and he would even invite his like-minded friends along to the nursing homes to carry out volunteer work.
Old Mr. Wen said, “I know what to do. You seem to have lost weight after your trip to Russia. Is it fun in Russia? It’s rare that you go on a vacation. Why didn’t you stay for a few days longer?”
Wen Xinya answered, “It’s pretty fun. However, I came back in advance because I keep thinking about the final examinations.”
Apart from Old Mr. Mo, no one else knew that she had gone to Russia together with Si Yiyan.
Old Mr. Wen proceeded to ask her some more questions about her trip to Russia, which she answered based on her knowledge. She never once mentioned about Si Yiyan!
