Chapter 910: The Greatest Beauty of Russia

Silence immediately filled the air.

Following the silence, loud gasps of shock and astonishment sounded. In European countries, it was common practice to express one’s emotions in an exaggerated manner, particularly feelings of astonishment.

To them, the fact that Si Yiyan had given the matriarchal token of Lucifer to her, was a groundbreaking piece of news.

At that instant, Wen Xinya also noticed the brazen and unrestrained gazes of jealousy and, sometimes, awe that were cast upon her. She realized that the animosity and looks of disdain were mostly from wealthy Russian women.

Those women were ogling at Si Yiyan with their big, brown eyes, like menacing predators waiting to devour their prey. It was as if they were not bothered by the fact that Wen Xinya was right beside Si Yiyan.

She secretly chided Si Yiyan for attracting women again.

Wen Xinya stared at everything before her; the unfamiliar surroundings and faces which made her feel uneasy. She suddenly felt out of place and even started discriminating against them.

Having sensed the change in her emotions, Si Yiyan pinched her palm gently to comfort her.

Wen Xinya’s stiffened fingers began to relax and she thought to herself, Yeah… no matter what, I’ll have Si Yiyan by my side and I… am the love of his life, the matriarch of Lucifer, the wife of Rex. I can’t back down.

“Rex, you’re here!” exclaimed a sweet voice that filled the air in the living room.

Her simple words were full of surprise, bliss, excitement, and joy.

Next, a pretty and elegant woman scrambled towards Si Yiyan, clad in a snowy princess gown with a crystal and diamond tiara on her head. Her brown locks were pulled back into a half-up hairdo as they cascaded down her back.

It was a classic Snow White sartorial style.

Tons of people had already dressed that way before and it was an overrated style. However, Wen Xinya could not deny that the girl looked beautiful in it.

The smile on her face resembled pomegranate flowers which bloomed vibrantly in May. She was jovial, bubbly and bursting with youth and joy.

Wen Xinya immediately got jealous again. Who’s this girl?

Why did Si Yiyan become so popular with the ladies all of a sudden? It seems he’s so high in demand ever since we came to Russia.

Just as Wen Xinya thought that the girl would brazenly leap into Si Yiyan’s arms and was about to stop her, the girl suddenly stopped in her tracks and staggered forwards. She stood at a foot away from Si Yiyan and said, “Rex, I’ve been waiting for you. Check out my outfit. Do I look pretty today?”

Wen Xinya was infuriated because the girl had completely disregarded her presence. She deliberately asked in a coquettish voice, “Yan, who’s this woman? Why haven’t I heard about her before?”

Si Yiyan answered in a soft and gentle voice, “This is Avrora, the granddaughter of Duke Moville.”

Wen Xinya looked at Avrora smilingly and said, “What a beautiful name.”

Avrora was a classic Russian name, and it was the name of a Russian goddess. It seems this girl had a significant status in the upper-class society of Russia.

Avrora watched as her beloved Si Yiyan behaved affectionately with his beau, as if there was no one else around. She wondered to herself, Rex has never been lustful. Since when does he have a girlfriend? Feeling jealous, she glowered at Wen Xinya and questioned, “Who are you? Why are you attending my family’s banquet together with Rex? I only invited Rex. You’d better scram now, else I’ll get the guards to throw you out of here.”

As a wealthy heiress and the granddaughter of an esteemed duke, she had long gotten used to being haughty and arrogant. Hence, she obviously wouldn’t respect another woman and thus, hollered at Wen Xinya rudely in a condescending manner.

Wen Xinya’s mask covered her emotions. However, the menacing look in her eyes and her rosy lips could be seen. “Miss Avrora, the fact that I’m here to attend this banquet with Rex means that I’m one of the guests too. What are you trying to do by being so rude to me?”

Avrora was shocked speechless.

Wen Xinya continued calmly, “Miss Avrora, I’m only showing you respect because you belong to the Duke’s residence. However, your disrespectful attitude makes me very upset. You were rude to me even though I’m Rex’s beau. By doing this, you’re disrespecting Rex and challenging his authority. Is the Duke unhappy with Rex?”

It was all about attacking each other with sarcastic remarks.

I’m not even afraid of a scheming bitch like Xia Ruya, let alone such a brainless bimbo who only cares about men. What a joke, dealing with her is just a piece of cake for me.

Si Yiyan did not stop Wen Xinya from retorting because he was displeased with Avrora’s behavior.

Avrora turned pale at the instant that she heard those words. Staring at Si Yiyan pitifully, she said, “Rex, you must believe me. I don’t mean to challenge or disrespect you. Grandpa isn’t displeased with you either. This woman… is spouting nonsense.”

She thought about the words that Anatoli had said to her and back then, she thought that Rex was just treating Wen Xinya like his plaything. After all, men had sexual needs that had to be fulfilled, and it was only normal for them to have some women around them. However… she began to feel a little flustered because of Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya thought to herself, Ah… turns out she’s such a good actress. She’s a haughty and demanding princess when facing me, but in front of Si Yiyan, she’s suddenly become shy and vulnerable.

Si Yiyan glared at Avrora coldly and said sternly, “Miss Avrora, I have ears to hear for myself, and I heard everything you said to my beau just now. I don’t need you to explain anything to me. Please let me remind you that you’re a wealthy heiress.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Yiyan fiddled with Wen Xinya’s earring affectionately while ignoring the devastated Avrora. “There’s always going to be things that are like thorns in your flesh. They’re insensitive. Don’t bother.”

Avrora stared at the earring on Wen Xinya’s ear in disbelief, feeling extremely flabbergasted.

Wen Xinya smirked at Avrora and gibed. “I can’t let you argue with a woman. That would make you seem ungentlemanly.”

A man would still have to take the time, venue and circumstance into consideration before defending his woman. Arguing with a woman was an ungentlemanly act.

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Let’s go. We’ve been standing here for a long time.”

He was indirectly trying to say that Avrora had gotten in their way and he made it seem as if the host was not welcoming towards them.

As pale as a sheet, Avrora flew into a rage and barked. “Disgusting and horrendous Chinese woman. Hold it right there!”
