Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1524: I Will Wait for Your Triumphant Return

The car ride from the Milan International Airport to the hotel booked for her by the Milan World Expo Association should have taken just an hour. Although Milan was a fashion capital of the world and had a highly dense population, the transport infrastructure was very developed and convenient. As a result, the journey went smoothly and they didn’t meet any traffic jams and the likes.

However, because they had taken the long, scenic route, it was already 5 PM by the time they arrived at the hotel. The entire journey took a whole two hours.

When they arrived at the hotel, Wen Xinya cooperated with the checks required by the Milan World Expo Association. She handed over all her electronic devices to the temporary care of the organizers, who then provided her with a specialized mobile phone and computer. Although the organizers did not go as far as putting surveillance on those gadgets, the electronics supplied all had restricted capabilities.

According to Mr. Ronda, the ten grand finalists were all accommodated in different hotels, the whereabouts of whom were all kept secret. Up until the day of the grand finals, none of them were allowed to meet each other.

Meanwhile, it had also been arranged for her companion Liu Yanhua to stay on a separate floor of the hotel. There would probably not be any chance for them to meet before the competition.

All the arrangements had been done comprehensively and with much attention to detail. It avoided any risk of conflict and sabotage between competitors, as well as arrested the possibility of cheating.

With this kind of thorough arrangements, Wen Xinya naturally had no objections.

“Wen, you have been on the plane for an entire day and must be very tired. Head to your room for a rest first. We will leave any necessary discussion until tomorrow. In the meantime, just call me if you need anything. I will be staying in the room next door to yours.”

Mr. Ronda was not only easy to talk to but also very considerate.

Wen Xinya gave a genuine smile of gratitude. “Thank you, Mr. Ronda!”

The two of them said their farewells and Wen Xinya entered her room.

The Milan World Expo Association had been pretty generous and arranged for them to be lodged in rather nice rooms. Although the rooms were not comparable to presidential or luxury suites, it was still a very comfortable space.

Wen Xinya flung herself onto the sofa with no intention of moving again. The ten and a half hour flight and two-hour car journey had completely exhausted her.

If Si Yiyan was beside her right now, she would already be pouting and whining to him, before pestering him to give her a massage. However, it was all wishful thinking.

Wen Xinya had no choice but to drag her own tired body into the bathroom and draw herself a lavender oil-scented bath.

The bath soothed away some of Wen Xinya’s fatigue. She ordered dinner, but she had a small appetite and didn’t eat much.

She was just about to lay down in bed to rest, but perhaps due to the difference in time zones, she was unable to fall asleep. Wen Xinya ended up tossing and turning in bed for a long while, completely frustrated at her inability to sleep.

Wen Xinya looked at the time. It was already 6 PM and there was a seven-hour time difference between Italy and Capital City. Hence, it would be 11 AM in Country Z’s Capital city now.

Wen Xinya’s eyes brightened. She made use of the hotel phone to call Si Yiyan’s mobile.

As before, Si Yiyan immediately answered the call. “Are you at the hotel now? How was the ride?”

Xinya had called him earlier right after alighting from the plane to let him know she had arrived in Milan safely. However, the two of them had hung up after just a short conversation.

Wen Xinya was sprawled on the bed wearing a light blue silk nightgown. Her expression subconsciously turned warm and soft. “Mmm, I am now at the hotel. Everything went smoothly. Don’t worry.”

Si Yiyan’s voice always sounded especially clear over the phone. Sumptuously rich and mellow, she couldn’t help being entranced whenever that voice resonated in her ear.

“Are you tired?” Si Yiyan’s voice turned gentler.

“I am dead tired. A 10-hour flight followed by a two-hour car ride. I am falling apart.” At the mention of this, Wen Xinya was filled with grievances and started complaining to Si Yiyan.

If there was someone who cared for you and doted on you, you would involuntarily rely on him, trust him and whine coquettishly to him. All these were not because you were unable to bear any hardships, but because you had grown attached to him.

“Baby, it’s been hard on you. Remember to get a good rest.” Hearing her complaints, Si Yiyan could just imagine that beautiful face scrunched up in a frown, with her little lips pouting sulkily.

Wen Xinya said piteously, “I have just arrived in Italy and am still jet-lagged. Also, the hotel bed is not as comfortable as the one at home. So I can’t fall asleep and can’t rest. What should I do?”

Most importantly, he was not by her side and she felt very uneasy in her heart.

She knew that she was too dependent on Si Yiyan. Although he was very busy with work, often traveling to Italy, Russia, Harbor City and all sorts of other destinations—she was the one who was now in a foreign country and city, in an unfamiliar room without any traces of Si Yiyan. She was rather unused to such a strange feeling.

“I had Mrs. Tan pack you some sleep-inducing incense. Remember to light one before bed. In addition, I had Du Ruo make some calming herbal pills for you. Take one later. Bear with it for another two days and your jet-lag will wear off.”

Si Yiyan’s face held a warm expression. He already predicted that this girl would be fussy about her bed and would have difficulty adjusting during the first couple of days in Italy. Hence, he had done all he could to make things easier for her—herbal remedies, her usual skincare products, tea leaves—he had everything prepared properly.

“Si Yiyan, you are so good to me.” Wen Xinya gushed happily. Phone in hand, she hurriedly went to open up her luggage and found that it was indeed filled with all her daily essentials.

She never realized that Si Yiyan had prepared everything for her so well.

Si Yiyan heard rustling noises through the phone and knew she was ransacking the luggage. He couldn’t help smiling. “You must take extra care of your health when overseas. Don’t fall ill. If you feel unwell, remember to take your medicine at the stated intervals. I also had Mrs. Tan put in your usual medications in the bag. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

Wen Xinya promised him and the two of them started discussing the competition schedule and arrangements. “We might not be able to keep in contact for several days after the competition officially kicks off.”

She couldn’t help pouting.

Si Yiyan said in a low voice, “I know. Just have a good rest and recover your energy. Be prepared for the competition. I will wait for your triumphant return.”
