Si Yiyan grabbed the wooden comb and used it to help her tidy her hair. He brushed his nimble fingers through her hair and soon tied her hair back into an elegant hairdo.

He then opened an accessory box on the dressing table which contained a plethora of accessories. There seemed to be about four or five sets. Si Yiyan picked out a piece of bright, emerald jade that was shaped like a flower. It glowed under the light and looked extremely fine and exquisite. The color was particularly bright and clear, and the two stalks of flowers on the accessory were wrapped tightly around the petals.

He gently placed the jewelry piece behind her head and stuck it into her hair. It complemented her and added to her gracefulness.

It was extraordinarily beautiful.

Si Yiyan lowered his head and kissed the strands of hair on her head and picked out a matching pair of earrings for her. The earrings were shaped like flower buds which looked extremely classy and mesmerizing.

After picking out the accessories, Si Yiyan used an expensive brow brush to help her draw her brows.

Staring at herself in the mirror, Wen Xinya felt that the makeup she had on now was much more exquisite than usual. Her rosy cheeks were enough to give her a beautiful and radiant glow. Hence, she did not even need to use any blush.

At about half-past six, Si Yiyan took her to a private harbor near the beach of Nantong, after which they boarded a mini yacht. Half an hour later, they caught sight of a large cruise ship on the surface of the sea which seemed majestic and breathtaking beneath the shining lights. They admired it from afar and it seemed just like a building on sea.

“Will the auction be held on the sea?” asked Wen Xinya who had never seen such a large and luxurious cruise ship before, despite having lived through two lifetimes. Si Yiyan’s world never failed to surprise her.

Si Yiyan kissed her sideburn gently and answered softly, “There’ll be lots of prohibited activities taking place during the auction, so it won’t be convenient to hold it on land.”

Wen Xinya acknowledged with a nod. The nobilities standing on the very top of the pyramid stuck closely to the rules of survival. The more powerful and prestigious they were, the more precious their lives would be. Hence, they would never allow others to have evidence against them, lest they get attacked because of it.

The yacht pulled over beside an unknown island. Si Yiyan carried her onto the island and stepped over the wooden plank to board the cruise ship. There were two rows of men who were dressed in black, standing by both sides of the cruise.

The men on the ship had eyes that were sharp like daggers and were standing with their backs as straight as rulers. It was as if nothing could bend them at all. They exuded a formidable aura.

Wen Xinya could tell at one glance that they were retired military personnel from the special forces. Wen Xinya was initially rather composed and nonchalant. However, she could not help but become a little more solemn after seeing how intimidating they were. “What auction is this? Why is there such a big shot?”

Si Yiyan explained, “The organizer of this auction is the Xu Family. You should know that Xu Family is in close contact with the Z Nation National Security Department. They’ve already risen to an extraordinary position in the upper-class society.”
