Si Yiyan sat on the sofa, playing with the dragon jade in his hand while watching the horse racing video recorded by Gu Yuehan. The enlarged high-definition picture was far more shocking than watching it on a tablet before.
When I first saw her in the St. Jolan boutique, she was sharp and unruly, noble and proud.
Later, when I really got to know her, I found that she was calm, rational, smart and intelligent.
She was introduced at the dinner, radiant and dazzling like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.
At her coming-of-age ceremony, she was graceful, dignified and majestic, just like a phoenix in the sky.
In front of him, she had all the characteristics of a little woman: soft, delicate, coquettish, and petty.
And now, she was riding on the horse's back, wearing a silver-vermilion riding suit, which made her look heroic and enchanting, and wrapped her body curves extremely beautifully. She held the reins in one hand and the whip in the other. Her beautiful eyebrows seemed to fly diagonally into her temples, full of flying colors. Her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, with unparalleled pride and courage. Her slightly pursed red lips were full of firmness and unyielding hardness. Her whole body exuded a soul-stirring aura.
The unruly horse surrendered to her and let her drive it. The flying whip seemed to tear through the air and whistled in the wind. This kind of graceful posture was the first time he had seen it.
It almost made him feel dizzy.
He felt a little regretful that he didn't see the scene with his own eyes.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Si Yiyan turned off the LCD monitor in front of him.
Gu Yuehan pushed the door open first, followed closely by Yue Ze and Xu Xianghu.
As soon as Xu Xianghu entered the study, he rushed to the sofa and sat down, impatiently reaching for the cup in front of Si Yiyan: "Oh, I'm so thirsty."
Si Yiyan raised his eyebrows and his eyes darkened.
Xu Xianghu felt a chill on his back, and he took his hand off the cup awkwardly: "No way, boss, you called us here in such a hurry, you won't even let us drink a glass of water!"
Si Yiyan picked up the cup in front of him and said calmly: "If you want to drink water, pour it yourself. This is the ginseng tea that your sister-in-law personally brewed. It replenishes qi and blood."
Xu Xianghu was depressed. It was the most annoying thing that there was a member of the opposite sex but no humanity.
The corners of Gu Yuehan's eyes twitched. He must have seen it wrong, otherwise how could he see such a smug look on Jiu Shao's face
He couldn't help but think of the previous incident when Jiu Shao's arm was injured. The sister-in-law was also busy serving Jiu Shao all day long, and she wanted to take care of Jiu Shao's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Yue Ze rolled his eyes and smiled: "I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so caring!"
It's just a minor injury, there's no need to make such a fuss about it.
Si Yiyan's eyes slightly curled up: "Well, your sister-in-law has learned some medical knowledge, and is very good at medicinal food and food supplements."
There was a smug and proud tone in his voice, which made the people present speechless.
Si Yiyan didn't care what they were thinking. After showing off his gentle and virtuous girlfriend, he turned the topic to business: "I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you."
His eyes turned to the file bag on the coffee table, which contained the document that Xinya won from horse racing.
No one present knew about this except Gu Yuehan.
Yue Ze's eyes fell on the file bag and he asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Who cares what it is? Just open it and you'll know." Xu Xianghu grabbed the file bag with his bear paw, roughly pulled the thin string on the file bag, opened the file bag, and took out the documents inside.
Si Yiyan didn't care about Xu Xianghu's behavior. He drank the ginseng tea quite contentedly. The ginseng tea, which was originally a bit bitter, became deeper in taste after being brewed by Xinya's skillful hands. It was the taste he liked.
As for Xu Xianghu, his whole body trembled, and he stared at the document in his hand with his eyes wide open like cow's eyes, his eyeballs bulging out, and his expression of horror looked quite ferocious.
Yue Ze kicked him hard and said, "Hey, Hu Zi, you are so scared by just a document. Where is your courage?"
Xu Xianghu turned around mechanically and looked at Yue Ze with dull eyes: "Yue Ze, pinch me!"
Yue Ze was also stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Are you sick?"
Xu Xianghu said faintly: "I must be sick, dizzy and confused, so I have hallucinations."
Gu Yuehan's mouth twitched. The funny guy and the idiot were indeed a perfect match. No explanation was needed. "You are not sick, nor are you dizzy, nor are you dazzled. Of course, you are not hallucinating. This document is indeed a privileged document issued by the Moville Palace."
After hearing this, not only Xu Xianghu, but also Yue Ze was shocked beyond words: "Did I hear it right, or did you? Is this really a privileged document?"
Gu Yuehan twitched his lips, glanced meaningfully at the document in Xu Xianghu's hand and said, "Whether it is true or false, you can tell at a glance."
Yue Ze finally reacted and snatched the document from Xu Xianghu's hand, staring at the bright red seal underneath. His first reaction was that the document must be fake, and his second reaction was to verify its authenticity.
Si Yiyan said calmly: "No need to authenticate, this document is authentic."
The study room suddenly fell silent.
Apart from Gu Yuehan's usual coldness, Yue Ze and Xu Xianghu looked at each other "affectionately", and both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
Si Yiyan knew that they were stimulated, so he asked calmly: "Is there any problem?"
The silence was broken, and Xu Xianghu suddenly said excitedly: "Boss, what is going on? How did you get this document? Grand Duke Moville is a cunning man. He invited you to the banquet with bad intentions. How could he give us this Chinese book?"
Xu Xianghu is funny, but that doesn't mean he is stupid. On the contrary, he is not only smart, but also fully aware of the interests involved, which is why he can become one of Lucifer's leaders.
Yue Ze also frowned and said, "What on earth is Grand Duke Moville trying to do? Although some great nobles have the right to issue some privileges because of their extraordinary merits, thunder and rain are all granted by the emperor. If they go against the will of the government, they will suffer a devastating blow, whether it comes from those in power or the current struggle among the nobles. Therefore, these rights have gradually been regarded by the nobles as a symbol of authority and honor. How could Grand Duke Moville hand over such a document that represents the authority and honor of the Moville Mansion?"
The nobles of Country E have never issued such a document symbolizing privilege to foreigners. If the behavior of Grand Duke Moville were to be spread, wouldn't he be afraid of being accused of having secret dealings with foreign countries
He was not happy or excited about receiving the document. Instead, he felt that there was something fishy in it.
Si Yiyan put the cup in his hand back on the coffee table and said calmly: "This document was not obtained by me. It was the bet your sister-in-law won from the horse race with Aurora at the Moville Mansion yesterday."
Except for Gu Yuehan who remained cool and calm, Xu Xianghu and Yue Ze both widened their eyes, gasped, and felt a little confused.
