Chapter 315: 315
They had a whale of a time chatting and enjoying the food and alcohol . Before they even knew it, it was already eight o’clock at night . At this moment, Wen Xinya received a text from Si Yiyan . She whipped out her mobile phone and opened the message . It read: “I just finished discussing a business deal with a client on the ninth floor of Ninth-Heaven . Would you like to come here?”
Wen Xinya took a look at the time and thought to herself that it would be appropriate for her to leave now since she had already stayed for three hours . Hence, she answered, “Sure!”
Zhou Tianyu inched closer towards her all of a sudden and asked, “Your mobile phone is really pretty . It’s so unique, too . What brand is it from and where did you buy it?”
Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “It’s a bespoke Savelli mobile phone . It was a gift from a friend, but I rarely use it . ”
Zhou Tianyu’s spirits were dampened the moment she heard that it was a Savelli mobile phone, which she knew had an exorbitant price tag .
“I have something to see to now . You guys continue playing,” Wen Xinya said while standing up slowly and looking at her friends apologetically .
Han Mofeng exclaimed, “You must be kidding! You’ve only been here for a while and you’re leaving already!?! Junling and I were just discussing our plans to continue our fun at another venue!”
Gu Junling said, “Just turn it down if it’s nothing important . Loony is finally out for a meal with us . Who knows when he’ll be free again?”
After giving it some thought, Wen Xinya decided that meeting Si Yiyan was considered important . Hence, she nodded and answered, “Yeah, it’s something important . In fact, I actually made plans with someone else prior to this, but I postponed it precisely because Loony is back . ”
Everyone had no choice but to let her leave . Zhou Tianyu said, “Since it’s something important, go ahead . We’re friends anyway, we can always just meet again!”
Xu Tongxuan chimed in . “Tianyu is right . It’s more important to handle what you have to . ”
Wen Xinya raised a glass of white wine and said, “I shall offer this toast this to you guys in a bid to express my apology!” She then downed it as soon as she finished speaking .
They finally let her go .
Wen Xinya exited the dining room to see that there was a middle-aged man standing outside, clad in a suit and tie . Upon sight of Wen Xinya, he bowed and greeted politely . “Hello, Miss Wen . Please come with me!”
Wen Xinya reckoned that Si Yiyan must have sent the middle-aged man to bring her to the room . After all, there was a hierarchy in Ninth-Heaven and customers who did not fit the standards would not be allowed to visit other floors casually .
She then received a call from Si Yiyan who said, “I’ve sent someone to pick you up . Just board Elevator No . 9 and it’ll take you straight to my room on the ninth floor . ”
Wen Xinya smiled and said teasingly, “Very impressive of you Ninth Young Master of Xiasi . You actually have a room of your own in Ninth-Heaven . I heard that Ninth-Heaven sends out personal invitations to the world’s top tycoons, all of whom will receive a room of their own . Owning a room here is a status symbol, and those who have received invites would become the VIP clients of Ninth-Heaven . ”

Si Yiyan said, “Would you like to experience what the ninth floor of Ninth-Heaven is like? I’ll be waiting for you at…”
Wen Xinya interrupted gleefully . “Suite No . 9! I know… the number nine has become so closely associated with you!” She was looking forward to seeing what the best suite of Ninth Heaven had to offer . She wanted to see if it was better than the presidential suite .
Si Yiyan chuckled and said, “Yes, it’s Suite No . 9 . ”
Wen Xinya was brought to an opulent elevator landing . There was a sign beside the elevator which was a metal plate, on which was an engraving of Si Yiyan’s name . It appeared rather intimidating .
The middle-aged man rubbed a jade pendant which had a dragon engraved onto it, against a groove beside the elevator, after which the elevator doors opened with a ding . The man then took a step back and bowed to her again . “Miss Wen, please enter!”
Wen Xinya nodded and walked into the elevator slowly .
The elevator doors closed slowly and Wen Xinya’s heart skipped a beat . She couldn’t help but feel a little giddy and claustrophobic in the enclosed space .
She probably had too much alcohol .

The elevator doors opened with a ding again . She was greeted with the sight of Si Yiyan standing by the entrance and staring at her .
“You look so pale . Are you unwell?” Si Yiyan asked worriedly while pulling her out of the elevator .
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, her giddiness vanished instantly . Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “I probably chugged too much alcohol too quickly . I’m a little tipsy . I just felt a little uncomfortable when I was inside the elevator, but I feel much better after coming out . ”
Noticing that she was no longer as pale, Si Yiyan felt much more relieved . “You’re still young . You must watch your alcohol intake . Otherwise, your health is going to be ruined . ”
“I know . I rarely touch alcohol . I only decided to drink because I was happy to be meeting my friends again . Besides, we only drank red wine,” said Wen Xinya .
Si Yiyan could tell that she had a drop too many because her eyes were glassed over and her face was flushed .
Wen Xinya had a youthful appearance, with rosy cheeks and big, sparkly eyes that glistened like the stars in the sky .
Apart from the entertainment rooms, all the other rooms on the ninth floor were extravagant suites that were much better than presidential suites . The decor, furbish, and ornaments in the room were all catered to the owner’s preferences . Besides, all the calligraphic paintings and porcelain ornaments were all authentic and not premium counterfeits . They were treasured pieces that dated back to the Tang Dynasty .

The carpets on the ground were made from the fur of alpacas from South American mountains . Such carpets were sold at exorbitant prices and hence, the carpeted flooring of the entire suite would cost at least ten million yuan .
“So this is the ninth floor! It really is as extravagant as the rumors made it was,” Wen Xinya said with glistening eyes .
Si Yiyan held her hand and placed an emerald jade pendant on her palm . “If you like it here, you can come frequently . ”
“Isn’t this the precious Emperor’s jade!?! The Ninth-Heaven is indeed generous,” Wen Xinya said, staring at the jade pendant in surprise .
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “I’ll give you some jade accessories since you like them . ”
“You’d better not . I haven’t worn any of the jewelry and accessories that you bought me . ” Wen Xinya declined . Her closet was full of shoes and clothing .
