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 gla.s.s. There were also stone-carved murals on the walls which had been polished to perfection and looked extremely posh and extravagant. The murals ill.u.s.trated 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 refres.h.i.+ng. 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 s.h.i.+rt 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 s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto Wen Xinya and asked, “This is?”
