Chapter 981: Exchanging for the Document with the Rights to the Mine

Wen Xinya was reminded of herself while fiddling with the exquisite porcelain teacup.

Back then, she did not feel anything when Si Yiyan first indicated his interest in her. She felt that she could stay out of any messy romantic relationship with him, simply because she had experienced enough heartbreak to have a heart of steel after living past two lifetimes. Yet, she succumbed in less than half a year.

She could not help but find herself to be rather silly.

Anyone who met Si Yiyan would be doomed.

However, she felt that meeting Si Yiyan was the best thing that had happened to her.

The thought of it made her turn to look at Si Yiyan.

Fiddling with the teacup, Si Yiyan said emotionally, “These are such splendid tea leaves and the teacup is wonderful too. Unfortunately, the tea brewer doesn’t do them justice. It’s such a shame.”

There were hidden meanings in his words.

The girl could not help but turn pale and gazed at Si Yiyan with resentment.

Unfortunately, Si Yiyan did not realize it at all.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter and said, “There is plenty of knowledge about Chinese teas, and only those who have wisdom can appreciate tea properly. Do you really think everyone appreciates and knows about tea as well as you do, and can brew amazing teas?”

Duke Moville’s face grew sullen, for he knew that Si Yiyan was just indirectly saying that Duke Moville did not know how to put his resources to good use despite owning plenty of them, and had instead let them go to waste. He was just trying to say that Duke Moville did not deserve to own the rights to such useful resources.

Wen Xinya was even more direct. She was just trying to say that the Moville Family could not use the resources as effectively as Si Yiyan could because they were much less competent than him.

Pretending not to understand, Duke Moville laughed out loud and said, “Hahahaha, Rex must have acquired a sensitive taste for teas because of Miss Bella. Hence, average and mediocre teas definitely won’t impress Si Yiyan. Even I find this tea a little lackluster despite being a frequent patron of this place. Not everyone can brew tea as well as you, Miss Bella.”

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “You flatter me, Duke Moville.”

Duke Moville’s words seemed to have pleased Si Yiyan. Si Yiyan smirked smugly and said, “Bella has spoiled me rotten in other aspects too.”

He was trying to say that Wen Xinya had many other impressive attributes.

Duke Moville laughed as well.

The atmosphere became pleasant and Mr. Wei had also begun listening to his words attentively.

Si Yiyan grabbed the white chess piece while Wen Xinya picked up a black one.

They proceeded to focus their attention on the game of chess as if nothing could disrupt their peace.

A petulant expression formed on Duke Moville’s face. His purpose of inviting them there today was to discuss the document. Yet, Si Yiyan turned down both of his offers and even revealed his desires. Duke Moville did not expect that Si Yiyan would covet his mines.

In fact, he was telling the truth. The Moville Family had faced their downfall because they did not put their resources to good use. However, they were his main source of income. If he were to use it to exchange for the document, there would really be a huge dent in his pocket.
