The Palace, the largest private club in Sea City with a membership system, requires a net worth of over a hundred million just to become an ordinary member.
The doorman recognized Si Yuchen’s car, and as soon as it fishtailed to a stop, he came over to greet him eagerly.
“Mr.
Si, the usual arrangements?”
“Mm,” he replied, tilting his head slightly.
His profound and unfathomable gaze fell upon her.
Today was destined to change many things.
Gu Xiaonuan shuddered, her eyes suddenly meeting his scrutinizing gaze.
Her calves trembled, and she almost fell face-first to the ground.
Gu Xijue had only just returned to the country, but he had heard of “The Palace.” He never liked mingling with the wealthy playboys when he was in Sea City, so he had never visited this place before.
It was the first time the waiter had seen Si Yuchen at this time, “Mr.
Si, do you have any special arrangements today?
The big boss didn’t even notify us, we might have neglected you.”
The big boss was on very intimate terms with Mr.
Si; they often got together to play cards.
However, it was still daylight out, and Mr.
Si had come unusually early today.
“Change to the smaller room on the east side,” he said after pondering for a while.
“Call Li over, I’m hungry and want to eat.”
Si Yuchen seemed to have become a different person.
She finally understood why she felt something was off when she saw him in the hospital.
Did a wolf in sheep’s clothing look normal?
It was only on his own turf that he would shed the disguise and reveal his true self.
“The east side?” The waiter immediately looked down at the front desk to check the arrangements and discovered that, indeed, it was vacant at the moment, “Alright, Mr.
Si, please.”
Carved columns and painted beams, intricately winding.
The tacky name came with exquisite and quiet elegance—truly a cut above the rest!
She thought the interior of The Palace would definitely be gaudy, with screens of ostentatious gold, even wanting to apply a dozen layers of gold powder to the walls.
But when she actually followed Si Yuchen inside, she realized she had been narrow-minded.
The name The Palace was not tacky at all, and it was very fitting.
Just the spiraling corridors and the artificial mountain with flowing water not far away were not something that could be built with just tens of millions.
Splendor and opulence would seem banal and vulgar here.
From the outside, the club appeared to have twenty floors, but in reality, it only had five because each floor was designed with a high suspended ceiling to accommodate the exquisite pavilions and buildings.
From this, it is clear that to create such an elegant and serene place, financial power only ranked second; the talent of the designer was paramount.
When feeling uneasy, she liked to rest her hands on her thighs and swing her legs nonchalantly, looking down and playing with her feet.
For instance, right now, she was doing just that.
Gu Xijue sat upright, looking at Si Yuchen as if he were staring down a sworn enemy.
“So, Nuannuan’s child is yours?”
“That’s right.” He took a sip of the pre-rain Dragon Well tea, casually leaning back in his chair.
He didn’t need to explain so much to Gu Xijue, but seeing his bitter and vengeful look, he felt a strange pleasure.
“Brother, don’t listen to his nonsense.
I don’t even know where this child came from.
I haven’t even touched his finger, how could I carry his seed!”
In her memory, she didn’t even have an impression of Si Yuchen, let alone had any intimate encounters with him.
Not long ago, she had a bizarre dream.
Just over twenty days later, she was dismayed to find that her period, which was always punctual, annoyingly ran late!
