Novel Full Chapter 975: The Story Behind Elegance Room
In the evening, a fleet of Mercedes S600 Pullman Guards pulled up in front of the Elegance Room. As soon as they approached the gate, it opened with a loud crank and the cars passed through the main entrance. Wen Xinya noticed that there were two large and tall trees on both sides of the wide road. They exuded a unique scent.
Wen Xinya finally realized that it did not have the same architectural style or decor as Jiayuan Club and Ninth-Heaven. Instead, it had a vintage, Baroque-style vibe.
The cars entered the gate and slowly came to a stop after about 20 minutes.
Wen Xinya could not help but feel a little tongue-tied. She thought that Si Yiyan’s mansion was already large enough. However, the Elegance Room was half a size larger than Si Yiyan’s mansion.
After alighting from the car, Si Yiyan opened the car door for her.
Wen Xinya thought to herself, Si Yiyan is rarely so gentlemanly. However… that doesn’t mean that he’s not chivalrous or refined. In fact, it shows his pride and nobility. He carries himself well in a classy and cultured manner, like Chinese noblemen.
She snapped out of her trance and placed her hand on his before saying smilingly, “Thank you!”
She was dressed in a silver, embroidered Cheongsam dress which had a beautiful phoenix embroidered on the fabric around her waist. On her right sleeve, a row of plum-blossom-shaped agate buttons had been polished to perfection. She looked extremely exquisite and opulent.
Zhang Ailing had once said, “Poise, elegance and the right attitude trumps stunning beauty and good looks when it comes to wearing a Cheongsam dress.”
In order to don a Cheongsam dress beautifully, one had to possess poise and grace, or a mysterious vibe, or a refined gentleness. A Cheongsam dress encapsulated the beauty and sultriness of Chinese women. The collar seemed to contain all the details, and each exquisite button was a symbol of the past.
The experience that Wen Xinya had accumulated throughout two lifetimes gave her a unique elegance and she exuded stunning confidence when donning the Cheongsam dress.
Si Yiyan held her hand and gazed at her in awe and fascination which he could not hide. He chuckled and remarked, “You’re the first woman I’ve ever met that can carry a Cheongsam dress so well.”
She had beautiful bone structure and her proportions were perfect too, just like her elegance. Hence, she looked ravishingly gorgeous in the dress without much effort.
Wen Xinya gave him the side-eye and said, “Rex, how many women have you seen wearing Cheongsam dresses?”
She had quite a few Cheongsam dresses in her closet at home. However, due to the fact that Cheongsam dresses were only suitable to be worn on special occasions, she rarely wore them. Si Yiyan never took his eyes off her throughout the entire evening.
He was overwhelmed by awe and shock.
Si Yiyan continued to smile at her. Although his expression was covered by the mask, she could guess how smug he was at the moment.
Si Yiyan pulled her into his arms and said, “Xinya, do you know when the happiest time of my life is?”
Wen Xinya thought about him switching positions all night long while dousing her in his perspiration and passion, and guessed that he must have been the happiest whenever they got intimate with each other! Her face turned red. However, it was not her fault for having a corrupted mind. Si Yiyan was simply too passionate about sex.
Due to the fact that her expressions were concealed beneath the mask, he could not tell what her expression was like. However, her quivering body gave her reaction away. “I’m the happiest when you get jealous because of me.”
He felt that his greatest gain from coming to Russia this time was witnessing her getting worried about him.
Wen Xinya blushed shyly and chided herself for having a corrupted mind while scolding him for being vicious!
Si Yiyan laughed and entered the VIP passageway together with Wen Xinya and two rows of tall bodyguards dressed in black suits and carrying guns. They looked extremely intimidating and menacing. She reckoned that they must have gotten used to seeing bloodbaths.
It had been almost ten days since they arrived in Russia. After everything that happened in the Moville Duke’s Residence, she had already gotten used to it.
After passing through the passageway, they were greeted with the sight of a massive synthetic lake, on which there were lots of hydrillas as well as a platform made of precious rocks that was enough to fit two people. The scenery was both picturesque and fear-inducing.
Wen Xinya said calmly, “If anyone dares to create trouble here, I doubt they’d be able to escape easily.”
Si Yiyan answered, “Create trouble? I doubt anyone would dare to do that here.”
His cold words revealed a piece of information.
Wen Xinya looked up at him and asked, “Does Elegance Room belong to Lucifer?”
It seemed she knew too little about Si Yiyan, though she knew how powerful he was in both China and Russia, despite both nations being more than 7,000 kilometers apart. She knew that any minor move of his would cause a global outrage and that he was in control of the firearms businesses belonging to various Russian families. He had almost monopolized the firearms raw materials industry and had control over 30% of the Russian economy. He possessed an extraordinary position in Russia and commanded the respect of everyone, including Duke Moville.
However, that was not all.
Elegance Room gave her an eyeopener about Si Yiyan.
Si Yiyan began talking to her about Elegance Room. “Elegance Room is the largest real estate property that Lucifer owns in Russia. It’s very popular amongst the Russian aristocrats, but the most famous thing about this place is not its reputation or opulence.” He continued in a cold and austere tone, “It’s known for being the venue where aristocrats go to in order to settle all issues, including business conflicts, personal feuds or relationship rivalries. There are various ways to solve the issues, such as gambling, physical fights or acts of violence. Anyone who enters this place must conform to its rules and regulations. Lucifer will also guarantee that the feud will be resolved after the parties leave.”
Wen Xinya gasped in astonishment.
She finally realized that she still did not know Lucifer and Si Yiyan too well.
That was the most terrifying bit about Lucifer and Si Yiyan.
In order to manage such a business, one had to be a capable and wealthy figure of authority. It also took immeasurable power and guts.
One could only imagine how much confidence and power it took to be able to resolve all conflicts regardless of severity.
Lucifer was like an emperor of the Russian aristocrats, and the Elegance Room seemed to have become a societal system. Si Yiyan was the person in charge and everyone had to abide strictly by the rules laid by him. Otherwise, they would face Lucifer’s wrath.
It turned out Si Yiyan was also a setter of rules, apart from being the leader of the Xiasi Group.
