Si Yiyan took her upstairs.
The second floor is composed of private rooms built around the entire Bird's Nest building. Each private room represents not only noble status but also a symbol of authority.
Typical lacquer-carved wooden buildings are full of antique charm.
Si Yiyan took her to a private room.
The waiter respectfully pushed open the door of the private room, bent down 90 degrees, and welcomed them in.
Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan entered the private room. Aurora, Boris, and several young ladies from the Grand Duke's Mansion were sitting outside playing leaf cards. The golden leaf cards were carved into leaf shapes, which Wen Xinya found very interesting. It seemed that this kind of leaf cards had been popular since the Tang Dynasty.
When several people saw Si Yiyan, they put down the leaf cards in their hands and performed aristocratic etiquette to Si Yiyan. Their postures were elegant and graceful, and they were indescribably graceful. Their hidden thoughts were clearly revealed. Two of them were even bold enough to openly wink at Si Yiyan.
Wen Xinya just felt bored.
But what surprised her was that Aurora seemed very orderly and calm. Her height was shorter than the average tall women of Country E, only about 1.7 meters. She wore a white dress, which exuded a blend of purity and charm. She had to admit that Aurora seemed even more stunning.
Of course, Aurora was also secretly looking at Wen Xinya. She had dressed up carefully today, but when she saw Bella, she realized that she was still inferior to Bella. She could wear the cheongsam in a stunning manner. Standing there, she seemed like a genius who was independent from the world. Her temperament, character, bearing and style were all revealed without a doubt.
Boris came up to him with a smile: "Rex you are finally here, the old man is waiting for you in the private room."
Si Yiyan nodded lightly.
Boris led them to a row of bead curtains. People were vaguely visible through the bead curtains made of glass, crystal, jade and gemstones. Compared with the outside, the scene was quite different.
Boris gently lifted the bead curtain, and the clear and pleasant sound rang in his ears like a piece of music, which was very pleasant to hear.
In the private room, a young girl wearing a Chinese cheongsam was half-kneeling beside Grand Duke Moville. The girl had a slender and beautiful figure, with typical thin shoulders, a thin waist, and a straight chest. The cheongsam made her look charming and seductive, yet soft and elegant.
The girl was concentrating on making tea. Her technique was smooth and one could tell at a glance that she was an expert.
Wen Xinya and she were both wearing cheongsams, and they were both women of similar age, with beautiful figures and outstanding temperaments, so comparisons were inevitable.
Grand Duke Moville tilted his head to glance at the girl beside him, then looked away, no longer paying attention to her. One was beautiful and gentle on the outside, with a charming demeanor, while the other was inherently elegant, noble and cold, reserved and graceful, or quaint and elegant. The contrast between the two was immediately apparent!
Compared with her, the girl next to me is so vulgar!
The girl bowed to Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya, which was a typical etiquette of Country Z.
There were only four people in the private room.
Grand Duke Moville was sitting on the chess board, playing chess against a young man opposite him. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Si Yiyan: "Rex, Miss Bella, you are finally here, please take a seat."
Si Yiyan took Wen Xinya to sit over and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
Grand Duke Moville laughed and said, "No, no, I just got here not long ago, and I haven't even finished playing a game of chess with Master Wei."
Wen Xinya looked with some curiosity at Master Wei who was playing against Grand Duke Moville. He was wearing a silver-gray suit, paired with a light blue shirt, and a silver and blue striped scarf around his neck, which was enough to show that he had high taste. He was holding a white chess piece in his hand, and at the arrival of Si Yiyan and her, he just glanced and nodded, then focused on the chessboard.
It was the first time that Wen Xinya saw a man who could rival Si Yiyan in both temperament and demeanor.
So, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
He wore a half-face mask, and the skin exposed outside was very fair, even whiter than Si Yiyan. His facial features were three-dimensional and deep, and his eyes were gray-blue. If Si Yiyan was elegant, then he was as cold as a knife or an axe. However, he was older than Si Yiyan.
It turned out to be a ZE hybrid.
In Country E, she had seen Anatoly, who was beautiful and mean, but quite powerful, and Yue Ze, who was called a bastard and despised and ridiculed because of his mixed blood. However, these two people were both characters. They climbed to a height that people admired by relying on their discriminated mixed blood.
Now, she has met another mixed-race person who is very likely to be as good as Si Yiyan in chess and drums!
As if he noticed that Wen Xinya paid too much attention to other men, Si Yiyan hugged her waist tightly with dissatisfaction.
Wen Xinya quickly retracted her gaze, and at the same time, she keenly discovered that the man looked at her with a suffocatingly sharp look, so sharp that it seemed to be able to pierce through her heart.
At this time, Grand Duke Moville smiled and said, "Look at my memory. Let me introduce you. This is Master Wei Che. Master Wei is from Gangcheng, Country Z. Like Rex, he is a friend of Country E."
Then Grand Duke Moville turned to Wei Che.
Si Yiyan just glanced at him indifferently and then looked away.
However, with just that one glance, Wen Xinya felt an inexplicable meaning, which made her feel a little frightened.
At this time, the game of chess was over and Master Wei had won half the game.
Grand Duke Moville couldn't help but smile and said, "I heard that Rex is very good at chess. I wonder if you are interested in playing a game?"
Wen Xinya had long been accustomed to the fact that before these big shots discussed business, they would always talk about their relationships first, and use some entertainment to liven up the atmosphere and warm up the place, so she was not surprised by Grand Duke Moville's invitation.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, "Let Bella play with the Grand Duke!"
Grand Duke Moville was quite surprised: "I didn't expect Miss Bella to be able to play Go. The young people nowadays are really amazing."
Go is the most brilliant cultural treasure handed down from country Z. Since ancient times, it has been believed that Go is a symbol of wisdom and strategy, and is also a cultural treasure that displays talent and cultivation. He knows that the wealthy families in country Z with a long-standing heritage will teach their children the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate their temperament and cultivation, and cultivate their scheming, strategy, wisdom, indomitable will, and overall perspective.
It seems that Bella's identity in Country Z is probably not to be underestimated, and she herself is probably even more unfathomable than he knows.
Wen Xinya smiled faintly and said, "In my spare time, I will spend time with Rex. I don't deserve the praise from the Duke."
Si Yiyan picked up the black chess piece and handed it to Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya sat down on the chessboard and accompanied Grand Duke Moville in making moves. The two of them played against each other.
