When Si Yiyan brought Wen Xinya into the conference hall, the hall was silent.
The whole hall is built to be bright and beautiful, with the ultimate luxury of ancient European architecture. The mosaics made of small pieces of colored glass on the wall appear classical and elegant, and the murals carved from polished stone are simple and luxurious. The content is basically the more common biblical stories in Europe, which makes the whole hall full of deep religious colors.
The religious colors set off the luxurious and gorgeous people in the meeting hall, forming an extremely sharp contrast, giving people a sense of decadence and debauchery.
Both she and Si Yiyan were wearing masks. Si Yiyan's mask was a silver hollow dragon mask, representing his identity as the head of the Xia Si family, while she was wearing the same flying phoenix hollow mask as him.
Si Yiyan was wearing a gray-blue suit, a moon-white shirt, and a scarf around his neck in the same color as her dress. The collar clip on his chest and the cufflinks on his clothes all matched the green jade accessories she was wearing. The two of them came hand in hand, like an intimate couple in love.
Everyone was very curious about her Wen Ya's identity, and all eyes were cast on her.
Sensing her unhappy mood, Si Yiyan swept his cold eyes around and whispered in her ear, "Don't pay attention to them. I never bring a female companion with me to any event, so they are a little curious about you."
Wen Xinya also vaguely guessed the reason and couldn't help but laugh and joked, "They must be wondering which lucky person was chosen by the person in charge of the Xia Si family. He is so lucky and blessed."
Si Yiyan said: "Do you want me to tell them that I was actually lucky and was fortunate enough to be chosen by you?"
Wen Xinya burst into laughter and looked up at Si Yiyan. Her eyes were shining brightly, even brighter than the crystal chandeliers in the conference hall.
Si Yiyan really wanted to reach out and take off the mask on her face to see how beautiful her expression was at this moment, but the mask blocked the covetous gazes of others and also blocked his sight.
At this time, a middle-aged man came over with a smile.
Wen Xinya guessed that he was Xu Qingqiu, the head of the Xu family and Xu Tongxuan's father. Xu Qingqiu was in his forties and wore a Zhongshan suit. He looked like an old scholar from the Middle Ages and did not look like the head of a family at all. However, the happy smile on his face, although gentle, seemed like he was wearing a mask.
With just one glance, Wen Xinya knew that he was a cunning old fox.
Xu Qingqiu laughed and said, "Rex, everyone is just waiting for you."
Wen Xinya was stunned. Rex is the English name Rex, which means monarch or emperor in Chinese. Is this person calling him by his English name or some kind of title
Si Yiyan hugged Wen Xin's waist and said calmly, "Because something delayed me, I'm not late, am I?"
Xu Qingqiu smiled and said, "No, the timing is just right. Some activities before the auction have just started." After saying that, he looked at Wen Xinya: "Who is this lady?"
The two people matched each other in terms of clothing and accessories. Even the dumbest person could see that the relationship between the person in charge of the Xia Si family and the female companion must be extraordinary. So he did not ignore the unimportant female companion of the Ninth Young Master of the Xia Family, but asked politely to show his attention to her.
Si Yiyan looked at Wen Xinya and said calmly, "My female companion tonight!"
The words were indifferent, with a refreshing taste and a tone that revealed a taboo, refusing anyone's questioning.
"Haha, welcome this young lady to participate in the auction." Xu Qingqiu was an old fox, how could he not hear the taboo and cherishment in his tone? Naturally, he would not really and naively think that the other party was just his female companion. There had always been rumors circulating in the circle that the ninth young master of the Xia Si family did not touch women. It seemed that he was not averse to women, but had someone in his heart.
For someone in his position, fame, fortune, and beauty are all within his reach, but he cherishes the people around him the most. It is no secret in the circle that the people in power in every generation of the Xia Si family are all infatuated.
Si Yiyan whispered softly in her ear: "Xin'er, this is Xu Qingqiu, the current head of the Xu family. You can call him Uncle Xu."
Wen Xinya's confused thoughts came to her senses. She lowered her voice deliberately, sounding mature and elegant: "Hello, Uncle Xu! I heard Si... mention you before, and I didn't expect to have the chance to meet you! You can call me Xinxin!"
Because of Xu Tongxuan, Wen Xinya felt closer to Xu Qingqiu.
A deep look flashed across Si Yiyan's eyes.
Xu Qingqiu was shocked, vaguely realizing that Xia Sijiu Shao didn't like others calling his female companion by her name. This was a kind of hidden possessiveness. He actually cared to this extent! !
"Miss Xin, you are too polite. I am the one who takes advantage of you calling me Uncle Xu." His eyes were vaguely observing the woman next to Master Xia Sijiu. She was wearing a mask, so one could only see her clear eyes that sparkled with sparkling light, and her two pink and tender lips. She was probably only a little over 1.65 meters tall, and standing next to Master Xia Sijiu, she seemed a little petite, and didn't match him, but her temperament was strangely harmonious with Master Xia Sijiu.
She was a little thin, with fairly good development, but her bones were particularly beautiful, and the clothes she wore showed her elegance. She stood there quietly, like a tree of white jade, pure and clean, yet emitting a gorgeous and romantic charm.
She is a very clean and clear woman! No wonder she caught the eye of the person in charge of Xia Si's family.
Si Yiyan was very satisfied with Xu Qingqiu's advice: "Xin'er is a junior, so you deserve to be called Uncle Xu."
The two exchanged polite words, and Xu Qingqiu changed the subject and looked at Si Yiyan with a smile: "Rex! I have prepared a private room for you. It's on the third floor of the cruise ship. I'll take you up."
"Yeah!" Si Yiyan responded calmly, holding Wen Xinya's arm and following Xu Qingqiu. When they reached the stairs, he domineeringly took Wen Xinya into his arms, almost letting most of her body weight fall on him: "You are wearing high heels, be careful not to slip."
Wen Xinya leaned obediently in his arms, letting him take her upstairs at a leisurely pace.
Just as they reached the third floor, the cruise ship suddenly shook briefly. Wen Xinya stumbled and was once again embraced by Si Yiyan: "It's okay, the cruise ship just started moving."
Of course, this scene did not escape Xu Qingqiu's eyes. After he re-examined Wen Xinya's position in Xia Sijiushao's heart, he turned around and looked at Wen Xinya a few more times, wondering what magic this girl had that could make the person in power of Xia Si's family care for her so wholeheartedly.
