Chapter 897 - The Palace-Style Mansion (1/2)

They arrived in Si Yiyan’s mansion in Moscow at eight in the evening.

The journey was smooth with no obstructions or heavy traffic.

They arrived at their destination safely and there were no accidents along the way at all.

Wen Xinya had long begun to get exhausted as her excitement depleted. She spent most of the seven-hour flight getting intimate with Si Yiyan, after which she dozed off in Si Yiyan’s arms during the two-hour journey back to the mansion.

The dim, yellow light of the street lamps in the city was cast on her face while she slept soundly, making her look alluring and breathtakingly beautiful.

“Ninth Young Master…”

“Hush!” Si Yiyan shot her a glance and placed a finger on his lips, hinting for her to stay quiet.

The driver stole a glance at Si Yiyan to see that Wen Xinya was laying in his arms, sound asleep. He hurriedly looked away without hesitation.

The car door was opened.

Si Yiyan carried Wen Xinya in his arms carefully and got ready to alight.

Little did he know, she had already been woken up by the slight movement and her lashes formed a shadow on her face. At this moment, her long lashes resembled a fluttering butterfly as she opened her eyes slowly.

Si Yiyan’s heart pounded rapidly.

Wen Xinya asked in a raspy yet pleasant voice, “Are we here already?”

Si Yiyan asked softly, “Yes, we are. Did I wake you up?”

Wen Xinya shook her head, feeling too sluggish to speak.

Si Yiyan carried her out of the car and said, “I’ve already instructed someone to arrange dinner. You can rest after dinner.”

She did not have much to eat along the way and she barely ate any of the Russian specialty snacks as well. Hence, he reckoned that she must have been hungry.

Wen Xinya instantly sobered up at the instant that she saw the architectural building. “Si Yiyan, is this your mansion in Moscow?”

The mansion was about a hundred hectares and it was built in a classic baroque style that was a favorite amongst Europeans. It was also a symbol of power and wealth.

The special bit about Baroque-style architecture was that it consisted mostly of expensive and ostentatious building materials. It was a combination of sculptures and paintings, and both the exterior and interior designs were closer to nature. It gave off a dreamy, opulent and posh vibe.

There were two tall white stone pillars in front of the yellow bricked walls and the roof had a crisp, pointed edge. The most eye-catching and captivating part of the mansion was the colorful glass windows. The vibrant colors, ruby red, gemstone blue, and violet were reminiscent of the Buddhism stories that the Chinese believed in, such as “Suffering To Acquire Dharma”, “The Exorcism Beneath The Bodhi Tree” and “The Debtor Haunting Buddha”. It looked rather religious.

Yellow was the most opulent color in China.

The Baroque-style architecture paired with Chinese opulence exuded a classic beauty that was prominent during the times when literature was booming.

Carrying her into the chateau, Si Yiyan asked, “Do you like the architecture here?”

Along the way, Wen Xinya admired the architecture style of the mansion and she absolutely could not take her eyes off them. “They’re so lavish and ostentatious! They always say that only the wealthy and affluent can afford a Baroque, Palace-style house. It does seem to be the case.”

It was practically a palace.

While walking, Si Yiyan introduced the features of the architecture to her.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter and said, “Si Yiyan, Baroque-style architecture is a symbol of wealth. I didn’t expect that you’d be so ostentatious and spend so lavishly here. You’re so attention-seeking.”
