Chapter 1513: Enjoying a Romantic Candlelight Dinner

This kiss went on longer than any of their previous kisses. The lingering warmth and feeling of everlasting love were so wondrous that they were rather intoxicated by it.

Lips parted, he was already deeply immersed inside her moist and tender mouth. Her delicate face was flushed red and her dark brows framed glittering eyes. She appeared indescribably alluring and heartrending.

She was as lovely as a Chinese Flowering Apple, zesty and appealing against the bright, clear skies.

Si Yiyan suddenly thought of a Song dynasty poem by Liu Zi Cui: “A quiet, feminine manner welcomes the clear spring. The cherry blossom rides on the merry breeze brought about by the willows... The nighttime showers beautiful and poignant. An image too spellbinding to be drawn...”

Si Yiyan tightened his grip around her waist, pressing their bodies closer and closer together.

At that point, Wen Xinya was charmingly flushed and exuded a dreamy elegance. Having felt his body’s passionate reactions, she couldn’t help gently pushing against his firm body. “Let go of me. The food is getting cold.”

She had put in a lot of effort and slaved away the entire afternoon just to prepare for tonight’s candlelight dinner.

Si Yiyan’s gaze landed on the sumptuous Western fare spread out on the dining table, which was adorned with romantic touches, including lotus-shaped candles glowing warmly.

He couldn’t help giving a big sigh!

Actually, he just wished to devour her, but looking at the carefully prepared food, he knew she had put in a lot of effort. How could he bear to waste her hard work?

“I will spare you for the time being.” Nonetheless, he still loathed to let go of her. He pinched her waist and held her firmly in his arms, desperately wishing to melt her into his own flesh and have her become a part of him. In this way, they could be together all the time and never have to separate.

“Good boy. Let’s celebrate your birthday first. Anyway, we still have a long night ahead of us.” Wen Xinya couldn’t help giving a coquettish smile. Her face was still prettily flushed and her smile made her appear all the more fetching. She radiated a graceful beauty that was hard to describe.

Her suggestive words made Si Yiyan’s heart quiver. He was just about to let her go but still couldn’t bear to. Hence, he buried his face in her neck and took a deep breath. Her delicate fragrance was like the rose-leaf flower blossoming in the spring, sweet and alluring. “You are right, the night is still young.”

At that, he finally steeled his resolve and released his grip on her.

Wen Xinya couldn’t help giggling at his reluctant manner. Her dreamy smile reached her eyes, which glittered under the yellow glow of the candlelight.

Si Yiyan walked slowly to the side of the table and pulled out a chair with a gentlemanly flourish. “My lady, please take a seat!”

“Thank you!” Wen Xinya smiled prettily and sat down on the chair with natural poise and grace.

Si Yiyan sat at the other end of the glass table, facing her. The dim crystal lighting and warm candle glow added to the intensely romantic atmosphere.

Wen Xinya took up the red wine bottle resting on the holder and concentrated on pouring the wine. The deep red liquid swirled in the glass as if alive, emitting an intoxicating and heady aroma.

Wen Xinya lifted the glass and offered it to Si Yiyan. “Guess what red wine is this?”

Si Yiyan accepted the long-stemmed glass and held it to his nose. He gave it a gentle sniff before placing the glass on the table. His calm smile carried a measure of warmth and exuded an easy elegance.

“This is a 1962 Domaine de La Romanée-Conti La Tâche. The flavors are intense and one can immediately detect the flowery fragrance the moment the wine is opened. In about another 20 minutes, the fruit accents will develop. First will be the taste of oranges, followed by blackberries. The wine will be at its peak after 30 minutes—intense and luscious, the alcohol in the wine will be more mellow. That will be the optimal time to drink it.”

La Romanée-Conti La Tâche was of an officially rated Grand Cru status. All the red wine produced by this winery had achieved multiple accolades in the wine world. It was the most premium brand of luxury wine in the world, and also the most expensive. La Romanée-Conti La Tâche wines could not be found on the retail market, and the only way to catch even a glimpse of this wine was at auction houses. It was the wine of multimillionaires.

Wen Xinya pouted, a look of chagrin crossing her face. “You can discern the brand and year of the red wine with just one whiff. How sensitive your nose is!”

It had been over six years since Wen Xinya had returned to the Wen Family, in addition to the 16-17 years in her previous life. Nevertheless, she still did not really know how to appreciate red wine. She only learned by rote how to perform the appropriate gestures and strike the correct poses.

Si Yiyan smiled at her. “I can teach you if you want!”

Wen Xinya was appeased by his suave smile. “I am not a wine taster. There’s no need for me to learn such pretentious etiquette.”

She accused wine appreciation of being a pretentious act but always relied on this very same behavior to fool others. Si Yiyan couldn’t help smiling. “Do you like La Romanée-Conti wine?”

This girl had never much enjoyed red wine. So she must have liked this wine since she made the effort to have him guess the brand.

The sight of Wen Xinya holding her wine glass under the warm yellow glow of the light was extremely entrancing and soul-stirring. “Mmm, it is indeed not bad. It has a dreamy fragrance and refined texture, with a gorgeously rich taste. It is the only red wine which I am able to appreciate.”

Red wine was elegant, cultured, exquisite and luxuriant. There was no one in the world who wouldn’t like red wine. Anyone who didn’t was only because they had yet to find a suitable wine to their liking.

Si Yiyan gave a low laugh. “It truly boasts a luxurious and unique flavor!”

For La Romanée-Conti wine, even the richest people may not get the chance to taste it. It was natural that she was able to appreciate such an expensive and sumptuous wine. Otherwise, La Romanée-Conti would have to relegate its Grand Cru status to someone else.

“Cheers!” Wen Xinya held up her wine. The lustrous ruby-red liquid accentuated her sophisticated beauty and graceful charm.

“Cheers!” Si Yiyan clinked his glass gently against hers. The clear and mellow sound was inexplicably heartwarming.

“Happy Birthday!” With that, she placed the wine glass between her lips and took a sip.

The aromatic taste of the red wine spread across her mouth like that earlier kiss. The lingering feel made Si Yiyan feel somewhat heady. As he gazed upon that flawless face as beautiful as a blooming flower—his heart suddenly started racing.
