There were beautiful Viburnum flowers amongst the emerald leaves on the vines which were bright and vibrant . The purity of the white flowers exuded a sense of tranquility and calmness .
He had never liked tea millet flowers and only found them to be melancholic . However, Wen Xinya had a huge penchant for them and she had even planed some outside the window of his study .
He teased . “Once the flowers are vibrant enough, we’ll sit under them and enjoy some wine . It’s going to be beautiful and enjoyable with the perfect ambiance . ”
He preferred crape myrtle which was perpetually in season .
He looked down at the jade piece in his hands that was carved to perfection, as beautiful as petals .
Si Yiyan did not look up at all and kept his eyes glued to his mobile phone despite hearing the approaching footsteps .
Gu Yuehan watched as he carved the silver mineral stone with finesse . Having already mastered the skills, he was no longer as clumsy as he used to be .
He still remembered how Si Yiyan would often end up cutting himself when he first started learning how to carve .
Back then, he even tried to persuade him . “Ninth Young Master, if you’d like to give Miss Wen a gift, we can search for the best jewelry carver in the world . Why do you have to do it yourself?”
Si Yiyan answered, “While I’m still alive, I should try and do as much as I can for her, even if I’m not willing to . It’s just a minor carving . If others can do it, I can too . ”
“What’s the matter?” Si Yiyan asked calmly while putting down the tool . However, he was still scrutinizing the exquisite floral jade piece in his hand that exuded a white and pale glow . It was his most perfect masterpiece .
Wen Xinya’s beauty was just as vibrant and exquisite, and her charm was something that could not be dulled by even the brightest color in the world .
Her beauty was enchanting, porcelain, burning and ravishing .
She was even more vibrant than the prettiest flowers .
Gu Yuehan snapped back to reality and said, “The leader of the Ivanov Family, Old Mr . Amo, has personally invited you to attend his seventieth birthday party . ”
Nine years ago, Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya went to Nantong together and had a conflict with the Ivanov Family’s Anatoli . Ever since then, Lucifer had expanded its business in the East and Central regions . Lucifer also held some power in those areas, thus causing the Ivanov Family to incur major losses . This time, Old Mr . Amo had invited him to his birthday party with the intention of coming to a truce .
Si Yiyan frowned and remained silent .
Gu Yuehan continued, “Old Mr . Amo is willing to let Lucifer have twenty percent of the Ivanov Family’s JH business . He’s even mentioned that the mayor of Russia will be present at his party and he strongly urges you to attend it . ”
There were three meanings to his words . He was inviting Si Yiyan with the intention of coming to a consensus and reaching a truce . He was also trying to warn Si Yiyan of the strong and powerful backer behind the Ivanov Family .
Si Yiyan raised his brows and said sternly, “Old Mr . Amo is so scheming and greedy . It’s rare that he’s so gracious . Turn him down . ”
Feeling hesitant, Gu Yuehan said, “Lucifer has to go . If we were to strain the relationship with the Russian side, it’d be detrimental to Xiasi Group . ”
Gu Yuehan knew that Si Yiyan was just trying to go against the Ivanov Family out of anger .
Si Yiyan remained calm with a profound austerity in his eyes . “Do you really think that Old Mr . Amo has good intentions for offering us these benefits? He’s just trying to pressurize us using the mayor . Everyone is lusting over the oilfield in the Central and East regions . The new mayor is just trying to establish a partnership with Lucifer and help himself secure a place in the election . These two old fogies are so sly and cunning . Cooperating with them is dangerous . ”
Gu Yuehan said in bafflement, “Ninth Young Master, you’re right . ”
He was filled with guilt and shame for failing to realize such simple logic . He initially thought that Si Yiyan was merely prejudiced and acting out of anger which compelled him to go against the Ivanov Family .
Si Yiyan said calmly, “Once we’ve really accepted the benefits offered by the Ivanov Family, Lucifer would definitely be in a cooperation with them . The Ivanov Family would then encroach on Lucifer gradually with the help of the mayor . ”
He had understood Gu Yuehan’s qualms . However, he would not comment on it . Although he cared about Lucifer’s interests, he actually cared more about Wen Xinya .
Gu Yuehan’s heart skipped a beat and he said, “Ninth Young Master, you’re just trying to prove your stand and show Lucifer’s power . You want to maintain Lucifer’s extraordinary status in Russia . By ignoring them, the Ivanov Family and the mayor will be wary of Lucifer . ”
Si Yiyan nodded and said, “Just tell Old Mr . Amo that I want an explanation for Anatoli insulting my woman . ”
Gu Yuehan said, “Got it . I’ll call Old Mr . Amo later and relay your words to him . ”
Si Yiyan asked, “Is there anything else?”
Gu Yuehan asked, “Miss Wen’s room has already been redecorated . Would you like to go and take a look?”
Si Yiyan put down the flower-shaped jade piece and stood up slowly . “Let’s go! We’ll go take a look . ”
Gu Yuehan was not at all surprised, for Si Yiyan had always been extremely concerned about Wen Xinya .
The decor of the room was similar to that of Wen Xinya’s bedroom in the Mo Family home, though the items were much more lavish and posh . However, he had also gradually moved some of his belongings into the room .
Si Yiyan opened the wardrobe and found that it looked extremely new and refreshing . All of the shoes had been replaced by seasonal ones that were suitable for her age . There were also the latest accessories of the season, which were placed in a conspicuous position .
He again pulled the door open and stared at the beautiful sight before him, beaming with joy .
All of his clothes were placed closely beside hers . He was incredibly thrilled by the close proximity .
