Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The administrative procedures for the handover of the archipelago had mostly been settled and Si Yiyan had officially been granted ownership of the archipelago. Extremely fatigued, Wen Xinya laid sluggishly in Si Yiyan’s arms like a boneless creature and dozed off soon after.
However, the night was still young for the auction.
The tycoons and nobilities at the auction continued to have a whale of a time.
Si Yiyan carried Wen Xinya in his arms, in a bid to return to their room.
“Rex, care to have a gamble?” Anatoli suggested, holding a gorgeous woman in his arms. He walked towards Si Yiyan, his eyes red from the alcohol and his porcelain skin all flushed. However, he seemed extremely sober.
“I’m not interested.” Si Yiyan declined calmly. To him, taking Wen Xinya back to the room so she could get some rest was far more important than anything else. Hence, he did not hold back and showed all feelings of displeasure towards Anatoli.
Shocked to see that Si Yiyan outrightly rejected him, Anatoli frowned and said, “I heard that your beau really fancies that set of Four Treasures of the Study that I bought during the auction.”
Holding Wen Xinya in his arms, Si Yiyan stopped in his tracks the moment he heard Anatoli’s words. “Sounds interesting!”
Given how wealthy Si Yiyan was, it would be a piece of cake for him to find an excellent set of Four Treasures of the Study. However, it was rare for Wen Xinya to set her sights on a particular one. Hence, he was just racking his brains for a way to make Anatoli give up the Four Treasures of the Study. To his surprise, Anatoli actually offered to give it up.
Seeing that he seemed interested, Anatoli turned around and said to his gorgeous assistant, “Bring that set of Four Treasures of the Study here.”
The assistant frantically handed him the set that was packaged in an exquisite box.
Anatoli grabbed the box and handed it to Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya instantly sobered up and thought to herself, This set of Four Treasures of the Study may be worthless to him, but he could have sold it to someone else. It should be easy to make three or four hundred million yuan just from the resale. This wastrel Anatoli actually decided to use a billion-yuan item to get Si Yiyan to gamble with him. His brains must be fried!
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Since Young Master Anatoli is so sincere, just accept it!”
Since Si Yiyan had already given her the green light, there was no reason for her to decline. Hence, she grabbed the gift from Anatoli.
Wen Xinya then handed the box to another waiter beside her. She then said to Si Yiyan coquettishly, “When we’re back, you must use this set of Four Treasures of the Study to write me a verse of ‘Wei De Wu Xin’ in the Liao calligraphic style. I’m going to frame it up and hang it in my study!”
Si Yiyan had excellent Liao calligraphic skills.
Si Yiyan sneered. “So that you can be reminded of me all the time?”
Wen Xinya punched his chest playfully and said, “Nonsense. I just want to constantly remind myself to be virtuous and upright.”
Anatoli was extremely peeved by the sight of them acting all lovey-dovey in front of him. However, he was stuck in a dilemma and could not decide if he should interrupt them, though he was certain that they were humiliating him on purpose.
Si Yiyan shifted his gaze onto Anatoli and asked, “What would you like to gamble on?”
