Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1869: A Truly Family-Oriented Woman

The outcome of the Wen Corporation’s shareholders meeting had everyone stunned.

No one expected for Old Mr. Wen to make a sudden appearance at the critical point of the shareholder’s meeting. Was there really such a thing as coincidence in this world? Few people believed so.

Those who were more astute could immediately tell this was a trap the Wen Family had set up for Qian Jianhui. The goal was to swiftly and resolutely merge the interests of all shareholders.

Old Mr. Wen and Wen Xinya’s methods were astounding.

Such an intimidating confrontation by the shareholders was instantly resolved with nary a ripple by that grandfather-granddaughter duo.

Throughout the entire day, Wen Xinya was kept extremely busy with the new orders and the reorganization.

Returning home, Wen Xinya kicked off her high heels and whined. “I’m so exhausted!”

Si Yiyan put down the documents in his hands. Under the bright lights, his gaze was deeply penetrating. “How are things with the Wen Corporation?”

Qian Jianhui was just an insignificant small fry, not worth his or Xinya’s attentions. As a result, he had already foreseen the Wen Family’s “victory”.

Wen Xinya sat beside him. She took up his glass of water and gulped it down. With a big exhale, she replied, “Wen Corporation’s situation is relatively stable. Although the company is rather shaken by the power tussle, as well as the major changes to the board of directors and shareholders, all these do not have much impact on the lower levels. With Grandpa back holding the fort, there shouldn’t be any issues now.”

Grandpa was the backbone of the Wen Corporation. He had been in control for so many years and was highly respected by all in the company. This was something she could never compare to.

Si Yiyan nodded but didn’t probe further.

But Wen Xinya looked somewhat gloomy. “Yan, I realized today that I am not that suited to be overall in-charge.”

She leaned into Si Yiyan’s arms and made herself comfortable there, like a baby bird snuggling into its nest. All the tension and stress that had accumulated over this period flowed away, leaving behind a lingering fatigue.

Si Yiyan’s heart softened as he gazed at Wen Xinya’s exhausted manner. He asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”

After being with Wen Xinya for over 10 years, he was well aware of her capabilities. She looked delicate and elegant on the outside, but was actually extremely tough on the inside—but only in work. In relationships, she was a bit clueless and a bit impetuous, but was 100% a gentle woman.

She had always drawn a clear line between work and personal life.

She never ever brought her toughness at work into their relationship.

She was a truly family-oriented woman.

“It has been a full five years from Lanxin Company’s takeover battle to the revamp of Wen Corporation. I have been completely immersed in all that scheming and plotting, with barely enough time to breathe. I don’t think I like such a life. Being overall in-charge is too draining. A person only has so much energy, and if I spend it all on work, it will mean I have to sacrifice family and personal life. I don’t want that.”

She looked somewhat dejected.

It was her wish to become stronger, but this type of strength was built on constraints and sacrifice, and she was suddenly unsure if she truly wanted that.

Si Yiyan continued to gaze at her in silence.

He understood Xinya’s uncertainty.

Wen Xinya hugged his arm. “These two years, my visits to Grampy have become increasingly fewer, and every visit was very rushed. Grampy is getting older and there are only so many more years I can accompany him. I don’t wish for Grampy to be lonely for the remainder of his years just because of my work. Even if he is understanding, I will be very unhappy with myself.”

Her heart ached every time she saw Grampy sitting alone by the window playing chess all by himself.

Luckily Si Yiyan would take the time to accompany him whenever she was busy. Otherwise, she really didn’t know what to do.

After her rebirth, she had been continuously asking herself what was the most important thing in life.

Despite all that happened to Wen Xinya in her past life, family was still the most important thing to her, more so than revenge or the need to become more powerful.

Luckily, her goals didn’t really contradict each other, but now she needed to have more balance.

Wen Xinya raised her head and met Si Yiyan’s piercing eyes. “Meanwhile, I hope that both of us can spend more time together. After we get married, we must take into account starting a family...” She paused and rubbed her tummy. Her voice became softer. “When we have children, I hope to personally raise them and not neglect their upbringing for the sake of work.”

She blinked through her fatigue and stared straight into his eyes, hoping to see how he felt about her words... only to see his face looming closer and closer. Before she could react, he had pressed his lips onto her own.

Si Yiyan’s kiss was soft and lingering and became deeper and deeper until she could hardly breathe.

His strong, clean and incredibly sexy jawline was pressed firmly against hers as if they were two pieces of a perfect puzzle. Their warm breath intermingled.

A moment later, Si Yiyan released her and licked her red lips lightly. “Let’s make love?”

His tone was querying and not like his usual demanding self. He understood she had been working hard and didn’t wish to force her. Nonetheless, he was filled with a strong desire to have her now.

After all, not every woman was willing to sacrifice everything for family.

But she was obviously willing to do so.

Wen Xinya hesitated. “I’m tired!”

She didn’t agree but also didn’t outright reject him.

She was truly tired now and felt limp with weariness. She was aroused by his suggestion but remained uncertain.

Si Yiyan didn’t give up but coaxed. “You just lie back and enjoy. I will do all the work!”

With that, he started massaging her body gently.

Wen Xinya’s already limp body went even laxer. She bit her lips, torn with indecision.

Si Yiyan nibbled at her earlobes and said in a low, raspy voice, “Don’t you want to have a baby? We must work very, very hard in order to have one.”

Wen Xinya was defenseless against that argument.

This despicable Si Yiyan knew just how to squeeze her vulnerable spot.

This was Wen Xinya’s final clear thought.

Si Yiyan chuckled. “Let me give you a full body massage first so that you won’t be so tired after.”

Wen Xinya was in no position to object anymore.
