Chapter 987: Rex, I Love You!

Si Yiyan was already done discussing the deal in detail with Duke Moville in the room and was just waiting for the lawyer to draft a legal document which they could sign.

Duke Moville smiled and said, “I hope we have a happy cooperation, Rex.”

Actually, Duke Moville and Si Yiyan could not be considered to have established a cooperation. However, there was no harm in sugarcoating things because they had already exchanged terms.

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “I’ll get the lawyer to come and verify the details another day.”

Duke Moville gladly agreed. “Rex, it’s still early. I heard from Miss Bella that you’re an expert at chess. I’d like to see your skills.”

Si Yiyan tactfully declined. “I’m very sorry, but Bella has been away for a long time. It’s her first time at Elegance Room and she’s bound to be unfamiliar with the place. So, I’m planning to go look for her and at the same time, show her around. Pardon me for turning down your request.”

He was not lying. Although Liu Yanhua was there to accompany her, it was a sordid place and he did not want Wen Xinya to encounter any boors or suffer any form of disrespect.

Having understood his concerns, Duke Moville decided not to insist on it. “In that case, I’ll seek help from you again next time, Rex.”

Si Yiyan nodded and bade Duke Moville goodbye before turning around to leave the room. Boris, Duke Moville, and a few other ladies bowed to him from behind the bead curtains. However, Avrora was not in the room.

Si Yiyan exited the room and caught sight of Avrora lurking just around the corner.

Upon sight of Si Yiyan, Avrora’s eyes lit up and she performed a sultry curtsy. “Rex, it’s such a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Having been to Elegance Room a few times before, Avrora knew that that was the only exit on the second floor and hence, she had been waiting there especially for him.

Si Yiyan stopped in his tracks. The lights in the corner were rather dim and his gilded mask seemed rather austere, giving him a cold and aloof vibe.

“Rex, are you done discussing the matter with Grandpa?” Avrora subconsciously swallowed her saliva and retreated backward, slightly intimidated. She then looked up at Rex in awe, as if she was gazing at a god that she believed in. Her fair and porcelain neck seemed to glow under the light. She looked beautiful and exquisite in her snowy white gown which made her look gentle and delicate yet proud and attractive. Her cleavage was exposed and the shape of her bosom was beautiful.

Si Yiyan pursed his lips and ignored Avrora while walking past her.

Avrora bit her lip and lifted the hem of her dress before chasing after him. “Rex, hold up. Are you going to look for Miss Bella?”

Si Yiyan ignored her. Since it was his territory, it was a piece of cake for him to look for Wen Xinya.

After suffering a double blow, Avrora mustered up the courage to grab his arm. “Rex, I’m sorry! I wasn’t intending to embarrass you when I competed with Miss Bella previously. I don’t mean to harm Lucifer’s interests, either. Miss Bella has misunderstood me.”

This was her very first time spending some alone time with Si Yiyan in the various years that she had carried a torch for him. Hence, she was extremely excited and confident that she could win his heart with her beauty and perfect figure.

Si Yiyan could not stop thinking about Wen Xinya who had left the room for a long time. Although she had always been sensible, it was not like her to still be away even after he was done discussing with Duke Moville. There was no news from Liu Yanhua either, and he was still rather worried even though the Elegance Room was his territory.

Hence, he glared at Avrora with a menacing expression and dodged Avrora’s hand. “Miss Avrora, I’m sure you know that I’ll never let anyone get near me. I’m only being kind to you on the account that you’re Duke Moville’s granddaughter. If you do this again next time, I can’t guarantee that your hand will still be intact.”

His voice was stern and monotonous as if he were stating facts. However, Avrora shivered uncontrollably and said, “Rex, I didn’t mean to do that. I’m sorry. I just did that out of recklessness because I was too excited. I just wanted to tell you that I like you. No… I love you. I’m willing to do anything for you.”

Avrora was already at her wits’ end now that her grandfather was going to push her onto the bed of a beast. She even swallowed her pride and pleaded with Wen Xinya, promising to give her the duke’s position if she were willing to hand over the document. Yet, Wen Xinya turned her down.

She tried her best to look for the best excuse to stall time with that beast and managed to keep her virginity for now. Hence, she decided to take the opportunity to confess her love and give herself to him.

Having grown up in Russia, she knew that no man would turn down a woman’s pursuit, and she was willing to do anything so long as she could become Rex’s woman. She did not mind being his clandestine lover either, so long as she could be with the man she loved. After all, it was better than becoming a filthy woman and a laughing stock whom everyone would despise.

Si Yiyan obviously understood what she meant. He knew that she was just making the last struggle before death. She had shifted her focus from Wen Xinya to him.

Avrora did not give up. Instead, she chased after him and began weeping pitifully. “Rex, I really love you. I’m willing to give you my precious body and stay by your side without a proper status…”

Russian women had always been direct and straightforward in expressing their feelings. They would also openly offer their bodies to the men they loved and men usually wouldn’t turn them down. Not to mention, she was the most beautiful woman in Russia and Duke Moville’s granddaughter…

Si Yiyan was in the midst of a phone call with his subordinate whom he was questioning about Wen Xinya’s whereabouts.

Refusing to budge, Avrora followed him and said, “Rex, please believe me. I can give you more than that Miss Bella can and I’m also aware of a lot of the Moville Family’s secrets. I can give you a higher status in Russia and I also know plenty of secrets about the aristocrats. They’ll be of great help to you…”

Throughout the years, she had been holding her head high amongst the aristocrats simply because of her beauty and wit. Hence, she was also aware of various secrets of the aristocratic families which everyone was dying to know. She was telling the truth and she was certain that Rex would be tempted by her offer. That was also the reason for her confidence.

As soon as Si Yiyan ended the call, he caught sight of Liu Yanhua scurrying towards him without Wen Xinya. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, catching Avrora off guard and causing her to bump into his back.
