The three-minute-long special interview went rather smoothly and attracted the enthusiastic reaction of those present. There was also an additional ten minutes of interaction with the audience, where five people would be picked to pose questions at Bella.
Wen Xinya treated each person patiently with a smile and seriously answered all of their questions. This made everyone’s opinion of her become even better.
At this point, a short-haired female university student was picked. She stood up from her seat. “Miss Bella, you’re my idol. May I ask you for a small favor? Of course, I won’t intentionally put you in a spot—it’s something that you can definitely do.”
She spoke very quickly and looked very nervous and slightly agitated as if she was afraid of being rejected.
After a brief moment of silence, Wen Xinya said, “Go ahead!”
She wasn’t worried that the other party would make any overboard requests.
The female university student said excitedly, “May I take a photo with you as a keepsake?”
With a nervous gaze filled with anticipation and adoration, she looked up to stage at such an elegant, classy, yet attractive Bella.
Wen Xinya purposely pretended to consider it.
The female university student’s emotions went a full circle from nervously anticipating, to enthusiastically waiting, and then to being disappointed and sad.
Just as she was filled with despair, Wen Xinya’s hoarse yet sensual voice sounded. “Aren’t we taking a photo? How can we do so if you’re standing amongst the audience?”
Saying which, she even playfully winked.
This act caused a stir at the scene as everyone instantly understood that Miss Bella was obviously purposely teasing her just now.
The graceful and distant idol instantly became amicable and candid.
There was also another person who asked her on the spot, “Miss Bella, everyone is curious about your looks. Why are you always under a mask?”
Indeed, Bella had always appeared before the media and masses with a mysterious identity.
The reporters had tried to dig deeper into her identity, and many people had made guesses about her looks beneath her mask—some thought that she was too beautiful, while some felt that she had flaws in her looks, and some felt that she was purposely acting mysterious.
Their views were varied.
However, undoubtedly, everyone was very curious about her looks.
Thankfully, he didn’t make the request of seeing her face on the spot.
Wen Xinya heaved a slight sigh of relief. She really didn’t want to reject anyone in such a setting.
However, she soon realized that answering this question wasn’t any easier than revealing her looks.
Wen Xinya thought hard and eventually still gave up on a reply to deceive the masses. She smiled and said, “This is a really tough question. Can we have another one?”
Her sincere and upfront attitude made many people present like her even more.

After the interaction segment, the live telecast of the special interview also had a formal ending.
Wen Xinya was escorted out of the live telecast recording studio by Liu Yanhua. A black limousine was waiting outside.
Wen Xinya told Liu Yanhua, “It’s now 8:30 P.M. Let’s rush to the Shangri-La hotel immediately and try to get to the party venue by 9 P.M.”
Today, Lanxin Company was officially listed and had organized a celebratory banquet at the Shangri-La hotel. They had invited notable characters from all fields in the upper-class society—it was indeed rather grand.
How could she, as Lanxin Company’s chairman, be absent from such an event?
Liu Yanhua said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already made arrangements.”
As Wen Xinya walked towards the car, she asked, “Have you prepared my gown and matching accessories?”
As there was no time to head back to the Mount Li mansion to get changed, she had already gotten Liu Yanhua to prepare things that she would need at the banquet. She could very well leave things in Liu Yanhua’s hands, but she still couldn’t help but confirm.
“OK, no problem. The gown that you’ll need, as well as the matching jewelry, shoes, and bag, were all personally arranged by Ninth Young Master. He has additionally arranged a makeup artist and stylist for you, and they’re waiting for you in the limousine. You’ll definitely make a stunning appearance later.”
Ninth Young Master doted on Missy.
He always personally made arrangements for anything that Missy needed—there was totally no room for errors.
At the mention of Si Yiyan, Wen Xinya’s burning red lips softened into a pale color as she completely calmed down.
Liu Yanhua opened the door of the car for her. “Missy, get in!”
Wen Xinya nodded.
The limousine was very spacious. Once Wen Xinya got in, the stylist and makeup artist greeted her politely.
Wen Xinya took off her mask, smiled, and said, “You guys get ready. I’ll get changed first.”
Saying which, she walked into the area in the limousine cordoned off by a curtain.
Si Yiyan was reading inside.
Wen Xinya got a shock and couldn’t help but ask, “Shouldn’t you be at the banquet venue right now?”
She had a live telecast special interview at 7:50 P.M. and couldn’t arrive at the banquet venue earlier. Although Yan Shaoqing, Zheng Yifan, and Ouyang Feng would be there, today’s celebratory banquet gathered reputable people and was of a scale of the finest banquets in the upper-class society—she was worried that they wouldn’t be able to handle it and had asked Si Yiyan to help out.
Unexpectedly, Si Yiyan actually came to pick her up.
“Yup. Gu Yuehan and Yueze are both there and will handle anything.” Si Yiyan put down the book in his hands, pulled her towards him, and asked endearingly, “Did the interview go smoothly?”
Xinya had agreed to this special interview mainly to garner support for Lanxin Company’s listing today.
Wen Xinya said, “The interview was broadcast live. Haven’t you seen it already?”
Saying which, she retrieved the gown from the box beside Si Yiyan, wanting to get changed. In just a short half an hour’s time, she needed to put up makeup and get styled—she had no time to chit chat with him.
Si Yiyan looked at her composedly without any intention of excusing himself. “I want to hear it from you personally.”
Although it was broadcast live, he was more interested in her thoughts.
Wen Xinya couldn’t be bothered with him and said impatiently, “It went smoothly, that’s it! Ninth Young Master, I’m going to get changed. Can you excuse yourself for a while?”
Although Si Yiyan often watched her get changed at home and even helped her get dressed personally before, within this limousine, beyond the curtain, the stylist and makeup artist were present. Regardless of how shameless she was, she couldn’t just get changed in front of Si Yiyan in such a setting.
Si Yiyan lifted his brows. “There’s no separated space outside, and I don’t like to share such a tight space with anyone other than you.” Even if there was a separate space, he had no intention of leaving. Then, he lifted his wrist and looked at his watch. “It’s now 8:35 P.M.—you still have twenty-five minutes to get ready.”
Saying that, he looked at her with a half-smile and a look of victory in his eyes and added, “You don’t have much time left.”
