Chapter 1510: Xu Xianghu’s Strange Gift

Gu Yuexi and gang didn’t linger on. Today was Ninth Young Master’s birthday and he would definitely wish to have some alone time with Sis-in-law. They were not the type of people who would be insensitive to such situations.

Of course, this didn’t include Xu Xianghu.

Before leaving, Xu Xianghu, who had suffered under the hands of that perverted big boss, glanced meaningfully at Sis-in-law.

Sob sob sob, Sis-in-law you are so ungrateful. I brought Cleopatra back just for you, but you are now kicking me aside just because I have outlived my usefulness.

Wen Xinya returned Xu Xianghu’s look and batted her lashes at him, as if saying: Xianghu, you did bring Cleopatra over, so you actually deserve to be bullied!

Dismayed, Xu Xianghu really felt like squatting down on the ground and drawing circles in the dirt.

Wen Xinya was full of glee.

Si Yiyan was exasperated but his eyes were still full of doting. “Don’t always bully him!”

He couldn’t help doubting the accuracy of Xu Xianghu’s animal-like instincts. Otherwise, how did he not realize that the most sedate-looking Sis-in-law was actually the most dangerous person?

Since knowing Xinya, when did he not suffer under her hands?

“When did I bully him!” Wen Xinya pouted unhappily. Her bee-stung lips were shaped like a cherry blossom blooming as its most radiant. Two dimples also appeared on her cheeks, looking incredibly adorable.

It was just a casual remark by Si Yiyan. He didn’t really intend to speak up for Xu Xianghu.

Xu Xianghu was reluctant to leave. He turned back after a couple of steps and looked at them with a lingering gaze. “Boss, remember to look at my birthday present. It’s the gold-colored box on the side table. That box is pure gold…”

Before he could complete his sentence, Xu Xianghu had his mouth covered by Yueze and dragged out of the room.

Only then did Wen Xinya notice the four presents placed on the side table. One of them was a box the size of a notebook. Wen Xinya was rather curious as to what kind of gift a silly guy like Xu Xianghu would give Si Yiyan, so she reached out and took it up.

It was a deep box, and anyone could tell with just one look it was made from pure gold, with exquisite, lifelike carvings of a dragon and phoenix emblazoned across. Goodness knew where Xu Xianghu found such an extraordinary artist for the carvings.

“I finally realize the meaning of ‘he who has the most wealth speaks the loudest’. Only Xu Xianghu can think of having a gift box made of gold. His taste is truly… tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk…” Wen Xinya shook her head as she couldn’t help feeling disdain for Xu Xianghu’s gaudy taste.

Nevertheless, thinking of that long, thick gold chain with that gold tiger pendant hanging on Xu Xianghu’s neck, she realized that she should not have been surprised.

Si Yiyan’s gaze fell upon the box in Wen Xinya’s hands. Disdain flashed clearly across his eyes. “Mmm, what a unique taste!”

“I do wish to see what kind of present that pea brain of his managed to come up with.” Wen Xinya reached out to open the box. Nestled inside was a booklet made from ivory.

The pristine white ivory glowed softly under the light. It was flawlessly smooth with not a single crack or blemish to be seen.

Wen Xinya knew that it was extremely rare to see an artifact like this delicate ivory booklet. She never imagined that Xu Xianghu would be able to come up with such an exquisite gift.

The booklet was more lustrous than any gem, more pristine than any jade. It was like the soft, delicate skin of a young girl.

The surface of the booklet was covered in intricately elegant carvings. It was so beautiful that Wen Xinya nearly suspected this was actually a gift by Gu Yuexi instead!

Si Yiyan was also somewhat astonished and raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Open it. Let’s see what kind of mystery this booklet holds.”

Such a refined gift was completely out-of-character for Xu Xianghu. They would never believe that simple-minded Xu Xianghu would have had such a drastic change in personality. Hence, they still had to see the contents of the booklet before coming to a conclusion.

Wen Xinya nodded. She opened the booklet and was instantly stunned. Her face was completely flushed in an expression that was half-angry, half-embarrassed. She bit her lip lightly, accentuating the lovely and mesmerizing shape of her mouth.

Si Yiyan saw that she was looking rather strange and said in a mild voice, “Let me see it.”

Wen Xinya hurriedly folded up the booklet and hid it behind her back. “It’s just an ordinary booklet of poems. Nothing special.”

At that moment, Wen Xinya was shooting evil thoughts at that horrible Xu Xianghu. She should have known that fool was a completely dubious character. Giving something like that as a birthday present—he really deserved a beating.

Si Yiyan could see that she was blushing furiously and her large, black eyes were flitting wildly. There was no way he believed her. “What booklet of poems? Why are you refusing to let me take a look?”

“I… I am not. It’s just that there’s nothing much to see here.” Wen Xinya sheepishly placed the booklet back into the box and started to close it.

However, Si Yiyan quickly reached out and grabbed it. She didn’t even have time to react.

Wen Xinya panicked and hurriedly tried to snatch it back. “Give it back to me. It’s really just an ordinary booklet of poems. Nothing good to see there.”

Just the thought of the contents in that booklet made Wen Xinya blush and feel uncomfortable all over.

“This is a present from Xu Xianghu and I would be letting him down if I don’t take a good look,” Si Yiyan said righteously. His smiling eyes reflected her flushed face, which was glowing and looking as radiant as a cherry blossom, enchantingly beautiful.

Wen Xinya was helpless.

Si Yiyan had already opened the booklet. Carved into it was a gorgeous illustration of erotic art. What astounded Si Yiyan was that the man and woman depicted in the erotic art were Xinya and himself.

“I told you not to look, but you insisted. I knew that Xu Xianghu is a dubious character.” Wen Xinya blushed furiously. She desperately wished to give Xianghu a sound scolding.

But Si Yiyan showed extreme interest in the booklet. He carefully studied every page and couldn’t help offering some critique. “I never knew erotic art carved upon ivory could be so interesting. The ivory is smooth and lustrous, akin to the skin of a young girl. The illustrations are also pretty good. There are even some appropriate verses accompanying the art. This is rather meaningful.”

In the end, the gift was still very befitting of Xu Xianghu’s dubious character.

Wen Xinya nearly smacked her own face. She had absolutely no desire to become a female lead in an erotic art!

“However…” Si Yiyan’s face was as cold as ice and as sharp as a knife. “He’s too presumptuous.”

This erotic art had been tastefully done and not at all pornographic. Every image had been painstakingly carved out in lovely detail, but none of the more sensitive parts of the body had been exposed. It was artistically sexy and had no vulgar elements.

Nevertheless, Si Yiyan would never forgive him for daring to make use of Xinya as a model.
