In the eyes of outsiders, Si Yiyan always appears to be cold, indifferent, elegant, noble, and has an intimidating demeanor.
However, only she knew that this was the man who seemed to have chess pieces in his hands everywhere, with a faint smile, black and white, and who was maneuvering and scheming. Occasionally, he would show off his temper and be as awkward as an eleven or twelve-year-old child, making it difficult for people to resist.
She was helpless about this.
But, more of it is indulgence.
Si Yiyan pursed his lips, with obvious displeasure on his face: "One gift is missing."
There are many special things in Kunming. Wherever Xinya goes, she will not forget to bring gifts for the three little ghosts at home and her friends around her. As for the gifts for Mr. Mo and Mr. Wen, she prepares them even more carefully, but every time there is one missing.
Wen Xinya's eyes widened: "I've seen it all, everyone has a share, is there anything missing?"
Si Yiyan's face turned dark.
Wen Xinya looked through the gifts again, repeatedly confirming the gifts she had just chosen, fearing that someone was missing: "This Guanyin Delivering a Child is for Ye Feiyu and Ling Qingxuan, Gao Shan Yang Zhi is for Jingxing, and Kuafu Chasing the Sun is for Xu Chenyu..."
Si Yiyan has already asked famous craftsmen to make gifts for grandpa and grandfather. Grandpa's gift is a set of ivory-carved four treasures of the study, and grandfather's gift is a set of the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity.
Although the other party is not as skilled as Master Yu, he is also a rare master of carving.
Si Yiyan's face became more and more gloomy. He didn't expect that she even prepared a gift for Xu Chenyu. He stared at the ivory carving of Kuafu chasing the sun with an unfriendly look.
This ivory carving has a smooth and clear texture like jade, with fine and regular texture, meticulous carving, and smooth technique. It is very ornamental and artistic, and you can tell at first glance that it was carefully selected.
Si Yiyan's eyes darkened again, and suddenly he felt that the smooth and jade-like ivory carving in front of him became dazzling, and his narrow eyes could not help but narrow.
At this moment, Wen Xinya seemed to react: "Oops, I actually forgot your gift."
After looking through everyone's gifts, I realized that I hadn't prepared any for him.
Si Yiyan felt a little annoyed and said calmly, "These ivory carvings are just ordinary."
What I mean is, if you don't like it, then just don't want it.
In fact, he was quite jealous of the story of Kuafu chasing the sun.
Wen Xinya looked at his pretending to be indifferent, and a hint of smile flashed across her eyes: "How can that be possible? Everyone has a gift, how can yours be missing?"
Well, it really seems like I should take a camera and capture his contradictory expression as he pretends to be indifferent at this moment.
Si Yiyan frowned slightly.
At this time, Wen Xinya burst into laughter. She had had enough fun and stopped teasing him: "Haha, I was just teasing you. No matter whose gift is missing, yours can't be missing. You don't have to look so resentful."
Wen Xinya stretched out her white and tender palm, and saw a walnut-sized round sculpture lying in her palm.
Si Yiyan was startled and subconsciously reached out to take it: "Is this for me?"
On the small walnut ivory carving, there are nine dragons fighting for a pearl. The nine dragons look arrogant and majestic, giving off a terrifying power. The sculptor has amazing skills and has carved every scale of the nine dragons delicately and vividly. The fact that such exquisite craftsmanship can be carved on a small walnut carving is enough to show that the sculptor's skills have reached a superb level.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, "The gifts given to Xu Chenyu and the others are just a token of my appreciation, but the gifts given to you cannot be casual, they must be carefully selected."
Unexpectedly, this usually indifferent person would also become upset over a gift, which made Wen Xinya laugh and cry.
But she was very happy.
Most of the time, this man was like a Buddha statue, like a god, high above, commanding worship, which always made her feel unreal.
As his wife, she hoped that he would be like an ordinary man in front of her, with more emotions, rather than being calm and rational all the time.
"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am."
The slight awkwardness in Si Yiyan's heart disappeared instantly, so men also need to be coaxed, even Si Yiyan, who has always been indifferent and witty, is no exception.
He carefully examined the ivory carving in his hand and saw that it was clearly the work of Master Yu.
Looking at the room full of carvings that can only be described as exquisitely crafted, this walnut-sized Nine Dragons Seizing the Pearl must be the only pearl among them.
It is so rare, but Xinya found it. It must have been carefully selected.
Wen Xin Yajian stroked the Nine Dragons Seizing the Pearl in her hand and couldn't let it go. She couldn't help showing a bit of pride on her face: "I found this Nine Dragons Seizing the Pearl in a round-carved powder box in the corner of the antique shelf in the guest room. I think it is even better than the previous Phoenix Perched on the Wutong Tree."
It was clearly written on her face, come and praise me!
Obviously, he was very proud of himself for finding such an outstanding work among these sculptures.
Si Yiyan embraced her and praised her, "You found such a rare work. Madam is really amazing."
Wen Xinya smiled even more proudly.
Si Yiyan gently bit her ear and said ambiguously: "Don't worry, when you go back tonight, your husband will definitely reward you and thank you."
He deliberately emphasized the words "reward" and "thanks", and a strong sense of playfulness and ambiguity came over him.
This little girl is really bold! She even dares to play tricks on him. Let's see how he will deal with her tonight.
Wen Xinya's eyes widened, and she immediately came to her senses, realizing that she had gotten herself into trouble. She quickly asked, "Can't you atone for your sins with good deeds?"
After being together for so many years, how could she not know what kind of person Si Yiyan is
Today she was trying to pull out a tooth from a tiger's mouth. If he got the chance, how could he let her go easily
Si Yiyan smiled and said, "I deserve the Nine Dragons Seizing the Pearl. How can I get any credit for it?"
Wen Xinya's face fell: "Then please give me a chance to atone for my sins?"
Si Yiyan said sternly: "Except for the beauty of my wife, I will not accept any chance to atone for my sins."
Wen Xinya immediately threw herself into his arms and acted coquettishly: "Husband, please let me go!"
Si Yiyan laughed: "Madam is really tactful. She threw herself into my arms, which is exactly what I want. But next time, Madam, remember to choose the location. I have a psychological barrier to being intimate with Madam on someone else's territory."
Psychological disorder, what the hell is this
Si Yiyan's words were so righteous and sanctimonious that Wen Xinya was stunned.
This is simply a lie!
Si Yiyan said calmly: "Let's go back!"
Wen Xinya was stunned again: "It's still early, what are we going to do now?"
Si Yiyan glanced at her lightly and threw two words at her: "Intimate!"
Wen Xinya was embarrassed. Why did she suddenly feel that her train of thought was completely different from his
