Chapter 961 - The Toad Lusting for the Swan
Si Yiyan said softly, “I’ve already guessed Duke Moville’s intentions to make Avrora marry me when he gave you that ancient painting as a token of apology. Duke Moville is very greedy and ambitious. It’s obvious that he wants to ruin Lucifer. After finding out that he does not have the means to destroy Lucifer, he decided to try and control us. I’m not easily manipulated.”
Even if he was not attached to Wen Xinya or had yet to find the love of his life, he would not agree to marry Avrora, for he would not sacrifice his pride for the sake of benefits.
Wen Xinya pouted and said, “She’s just a toad lusting for a swan. You’re way out of her league.”
Si Yiyan is mine alone. I won’t let any other woman covet him.
Si Yiyan said, “I didn’t expose him because I wanted to achieve my goals. After you left the room, Duke Moville explicitly mentioned this to me and he also tried to tempt me with the privileges of an aristocrat. However, I’ve already turned him down.”
Being a duke was one of the five greatest levels of being an aristocrat. Although it did not seem like much… Duke Moville was the most powerful duke in Russia.
Wen Xinya finally understood why the conversation came to an end as soon as she entered the room. There was even a strange tension in the air and neither Si Yiyan nor Duke Moville was willing to tell her about what they were talking about.
Turns out, it was because Si Yiyan had turned Duke Moville down on the spot.
Pursing her lips, Wen Xinya muttered, “It was my fault for refusing to listen to your explanation and insisting on alighting from the car. I caused you to…”
She began sobbing again as feelings of regret overwhelmed her immediately. The scene of Si Yiyan taking the bullet for her was deeply etched in her mind, causing her immense sorrow.
Si Yiyan comforted her. “Don’t cry, or you’ll really become a cat.”
Wen Xinya snorted with laughter again. Although it was not that funny, she was amused by the fact that he would always say the same thing to comfort her whenever she cried.
