Chapter 1569: Peel Off One’s Skin and Pull Out One’s Tendons to Prove One’s Loyalty!
Yunxiao Mansion was the most prestigious mansion in Capital city. Compared to the last century’s European royal palace style of New Century Manor, it blindly pursued luxury and grandeur, showing off the style of the wealthy. They strived to build a luxurious, exquisite, romantic, elegant, gorgeous and noble embodiment of the place.
This mansion was from the warfare era. A very powerful warlord carefully created this love nest for his beloved wife. The husband and wife spent the most glorious time of their lives in this prestigious mansion, and they were still talked about today.
Viewed from the outside, the entire mansion was like a huge white western-style building. During the day, it stood quietly, elegant and beautiful, noble and reserved, exuding a dignified beauty that could be seen from a distance.
But at night, the lights seemed to coat its body with a layer of golden brilliance, making it look like a magnificent palace, taking people’s attention, luxurious, noble and admirable.
Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan’s engagement ceremony was held in this legendary love mansion.
Due to Old Mr. Mo’s high literary status, the special identity of Si Yiyan, the Wen family’s influence in the business world, and Wen Xinya’s reputation in Capital city’s and the world’s jewelry design industry, this engagement banquet had guests coming from all over the world, causing a sensation.
Si Yiyan wore a silver-gray engagement wedding suit, which made him even taller, with a thin and stiff body just like bamboo. His hair was combed back, revealing his forehead and better showing his facial features, three-dimensional deep contours, the edges and corners of his face, and his slender eyebrows, his dark ancient ink-colored eyes. His narrow and beautiful eyes seemed to be blooming and radiating magnificent light just like black agate stones after thousands of years of wind and frost.
Although he was the male lead of the engagement banquet, the guests were unwilling to approach Ninth Si and mostly greeted the Wen Family.
“Why is it necessary to make such a big fanfare for an engagement banquet?” As a literati, Old Mr. Mo preferred the light and noble. He felt that this extravagant engagement banquet was a bit outrageous.
After Xinya graduated, Ninth Si personally made a request to be engaged with her. Xinya agreed, and he did not stop her, but there was some criticism from Old Mr. Wen on the Wen family’s side.
Si Yiyan said faintly, “It is natural to be as grand as possible when declaring ownership.”
Yes, it was a declaration of ownership.
Wen Xinya was getting bigger and more dazzling, there were so many pairs of eyes from Capital city, Country Z and all around the world staring at her. Especially in the past year, Chu Jingnan had been entangled with Xinya four times. He felt threatened that he might lose his priceless treasure any moment, which made him very upset.
The engagement could not put an end to everyone’s attempts, but at least it could put an end to most of their thoughts.
Old Mr. Mo wore a blue Tang suit, exuding a confident demeanor. “How much do you remember about what you said to me eight years ago?”
From when Si Yiyan started showing interest in Xinya, Old Mr. Mo did not interfere with their relationship, but he did not mean that he would stand by and watch.
He did not call Xinya out because he did not want to make Xinya embarrassed or even hurt her, and he did not want to destroy their grandfather-granddaughter relationship.
Therefore, he called Ninth Si out.
“When did you start being interested in Xinya?” Old Mr. Mo sat quietly in front of the tea house, calm but strong. Even though he asked such a question, he never showed any aggression, but he brought it up with an attitude that made it hard to ignore.
“When I saw her for the first time.” Even if the person sitting opposite him was the admired and respected Old Mr. Mo of the literary world, Si Yiyan was still calm, his tea-making smooth.
Surrounded by tea fragrance, the two seemed more like tea party friends!
“You know, as a student, I appreciate you very much, so I am willing to teach you everything. But as a grandson, I am not too optimistic about you.” Ninth Si came to the Mo Family at the age of 7, and although he only taught him for 3 years, it could be said that he was taught up by him, thus he knew very clearly what kind of person he was.
He knew his own granddaughter too, her scheming methods, her mentality, her “moral compass” and her persistence. In her heart, she was always sincere.
And people like Ninth Si that were extremely deeply entangled in the city’s governance, playing with power, controlling others’ emotions, manipulating others, etc. were too deep for Xinya to fully grasp.
Ninth Si was not surprised, but he respectfully poured tea for Old Mr. Mo. “I know.”
Old Mr. Mo picked up the teacup and sniffed it.
He felt a bit surprised and raised his eyes at Ninth Si.
Ninth Si’s tea-making skills were lit. He could master every process of tea making and he would score rather well. He had never seen him make mistakes.
Looks like...
Sitting here with him today, he did not behave so calmly.
Ninth Si put his hands on his knees and looked directly into Old Mr. Mo’s wise eyes. “I am not an ordinary man. I was born to be doomed, and I will not fight against you for this. You once said that only when some people peel off their skin and pull out their tendons with nothing left, can you see their true heart and intentions. I am willing and ready for you and Xinya to do that to me anytime, anywhere, to prove my loyalty.”
The extremely formal conversation with Old Mr. Mo eight years ago replayed in his head as if it was just yesterday.
Old Mr. Mo’s eyes fell sharply on him.
Ninth Si continued, “The words I said to you eight years ago are engraved in my heart, and I don’t dare to forget it for a moment.”
Peel off one’s skin and pull out one’s tendons to prove one’s loyalty!
In love, although Xinya had never brought him the pain of peeling one’s skin and pulling one’s tendons, he was willing to do so for her.
Old Mr. Mo’s sharp eyes glowed lightly. “Since you remember, don’t ever forget it.”
Although he knew and acknowledged that Ninth Si was a good match for Xinya and his performance had always been very satisfying, there was still a long way to go before he would change his heart.
Wen Haowen was the best example.
Si Yiyan solemnly said, “Don’t worry. I will keep my promise to you.”
