It was dead silent in the banquet hall when Si Yiyan led Wen Xinya inside.
The banquet hall was bright and well furnished with the incredible opulence of vintage European decor. The walls were covered with mosaic tiles which were made up of small pieces of colored glass. There were also stone-carved murals on the walls which had been polished to perfection and looked extremely posh and extravagant. The murals illustrated iconic stories from the Bible, which were popular in Europe. They also added a religious touch to the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was beautiful, extravagant and refreshing. Everyone indulged in the beauty of the decor.
Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan were both wearing masks. Si Yiyan was wearing a silver, crocheted dragon mask which symbolized his status as the leader of Xiasi Group, whereas Wen Xinya was wearing a matching crocheted Phoenix mask.
Si Yiyan was dressed in a snow-white shirt underneath a gray suit and a tie that matched the color of her gown. He had a lavalier on his chest which matched her jade jewelry. The two of them entered arm in arm, just like a loving married couple.
Everyone was extremely curious about who Wen Xinya was and all eyes were on her the moment she stepped foot into the hall.
Sensing her displeasure, Si Yiyan glared at the people around him and scanned his surroundings before saying to her softly, “Just ignore them. I don’t ever bring a female date with me to events. That’s why they’re curious about you.”
Having already guessed the reason, Wen Xinya chuckled and said, “They must be wondering which lucky girl has managed to capture the heart of the Xiasi Group’s leader, and thinking that I’m incredibly blessed.”
Si Yiyan jested. “Do you want me to tell them that I’m actually the lucky one who won your heart?”
Wen Xinya burst into laughter and looked up at Si Yiyan’s eyes’ clear glow that was brighter than crystal.
Si Yiyan felt a strong urge to remove the mask on her face and take a look at her pretty face. However, the mask hindered others from ogling at her beauty, though he could not admire her either.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked towards them smilingly.
Wen Xinya guessed that he was the leader of the Xu Family, who was also Xu Tongxuan’s father. Xu Qingqiu was in his forties and was dressed in a traditional Chinese attire which made him look like a learned man from ancient times. He did not seem like an authoritative leader at all. Although he had a warm smile on his face, it seemed like a pretentious facade.
Wen Xinya could tell with one glance that he was a sly old fox.
Xu Qingqiu guffawed and said, “Rex, everyone’s waiting for you.”
Wen Xinya was shocked to hear him being addressed as Rex, which almost meant “emperor”. Was this man addressing him by his English name or using an honorific?
Si Yiyan held onto Wen Xinya’s waist and said, “I was tied up with something that caused the delay. I’m not late, am I?”
Xu Qingqiu smiled and said, “No, you made it just in time. The activities have just commenced.” He shifted his gaze onto Wen Xinya and asked, “This is?”
The two of them were dressed in matching outfits and accessories. Even the blind could tell that they were more than just friends. Hence, he did not ignore Wen Xinya’s presence. Instead, he asked about her to show that he had noticed her.
Si Yiyan shifted his gaze onto Wen Xinya and said, “She’s my date for tonight!”
His simple answer caused Xu Qingqiu to stop asking.
“Haha, Miss, welcome to our auction,” said Xu Qingqiu, who could tell that she was not just his simple date. Everyone in the circle knew that Si Yiyan refrained from dating women. Hence, he deduced that Wen Xinya was Si Yiyan’s girlfriend.
There would be plenty of women waiting to throw themselves at him, especially since he was rich and powerful. Yet, he was loyal and devoted to Wen Xinya. It was no secret that every successor of the Xiasi Group was a hopeless romantic.
Si Yiyan whispered into her ear, “Xinya, this is the current leader of the Xu Family, Xu Qingqiu. You may address him as ‘Uncle Xu’.”
Wen Xinya snapped out of her reverie and greeted in a puerile voice. “Hello, Uncle Xu! I heard from Si… about you, and I didn’t expect that I’d have the chance to meet you! You may address me as ‘Xinxin’!”
Wen Xinya found Xu Qingqiu a little more personable because of Xu Tongxuan.
A sullen expression formed on Si Yiyan’s face.
Xu Qingqiu shuddered, suddenly realizing that Si Yiyan disliked it when others called out the name of his female partner. How possessive!
“Miss Xin, you’re too formal. It’s my honor to be addressed as ‘Uncle Xu’ by you.” He then shifted his gaze to Wen Xinya’s clear and sparkling eyes, her rosy and soft lips and her barely 1.6m stature. Standing next to the tall Si Yiyan, she seemed rather petite. Although they were a little incompatible in terms of height, her grace and elegance matched his completely.
She was extremely slim yet well-endowed. She could carry clothes well and her bone structure made her look rather beautiful and graceful. She stood quietly like a vibrant viburnum flower.
What a pretty girl! No wonder the leader of the Xiasi Group fancies her, he thought.
Pleased with Xu Qingqiu’s answer, Si Yiyan said, “Xinya is a junior. It’s only right that she addresses you as ‘Uncle Xu’.”
After a formal exchange of greetings, Xu Qingqiu said to Si Yiyan smilingly, “Rex! I’ve prepared a private room for you guys. It’s on the third floor of the cruise ship. I’ll take you guys there.”
“Sure!” Si Yiyan answered calmly while holding Wen Xinya’s arm. When they approached the staircase, he pulled Wen Xinya into his embrace, shifting her weight onto him. “You’re wearing stilettos. Be careful not to fall.”
Wen Xinya lied in his arms obediently while he brought her upstairs.
As soon as they reached the third floor, the cruise ship swayed and Wen Xinya staggered forwards, after which Si Yiyan pulled her into his embrace again. “It’s alright, the cruise has just set off.”
Needless to say, Xu Qingqiu had seen everything and glanced at Wen Xinya before wondering to himself, Just what charms does this girl possess to make the leader of the Xiasi Group pamper her so much.
