A virtual princess? She's a real princess!

"Long time no see, Brother Allen." Bian Xiao said with a smile, "Did you come alone?" He then put his arm around the man's outstretched arm.

That's rare. The last time I saw him, he didn't have a female companion. It's been several months now. Has this womanizer reformed?

“No, that’s not it.” Allen shook his finger and led the girl into the reception room. “I brought a female companion today.”

The reception room is a standard maximalist design, with various sculptures and gold decorations making the entire space magnificent.

There were only four guests in total: Norris and Bian Xiao, Mr. Abatov and his wife, Mr. Howard and his companion Miss Ventonia, and Allen and his companion, making a total of twelve people.

Bian Xiao knew everyone else, so the only Asian girl present was Allen's new girlfriend.

"Huh?" Bian Xiao asked curiously, tugging at Allen's arm and meeting his gaze. "Are you from China?"

“Yes, her name is Vivian, she’s from China. I met her at a banquet before,” Allen explained, and the two walked towards Han Yue.

Han Yue immediately stood up and shook hands with Bian Xiao generously, "Hello, Ms. Bian, I am Han Yue, from China."

"Hello, Miss Han." Bian Xiao had a natural affinity for Chinese girls. He pulled his arm away from Allen's arm, moved a little further away from Allen, and stood next to the girl.

Han Yue had no idea that the person Allen had rushed out to greet was the famous Bian Xiao.

The girl in front of her was about the same height, but she noticed that Bian Xiao wasn't wearing high heels, while she was wearing shoes with eight-centimeter heels. She possessed a striking and flamboyant beauty, and a wonderful personality; truly, she was the kind-hearted, beautiful young lady described online.

She noticed Bian Xiao's actions. At first, she felt a little awkward seeing her male companion holding another girl's arm while she stood alone in the same spot, but Bian Xiao noticed her and took care of her.

She felt the only respect she had received in months.

She had attended banquets before, and some women didn't even care that she was there. When she went to France with Allen, some women completely ignored her and laughed and joked with Allen.

Allen stepped forward, put his arm around Han Yue's shoulder, and said softly, "What are you doing standing there? Aren't you tired?"

Bian Xiao was used to Allen's peacock-like ways of taking care of his girlfriend, so he sat down without any hesitation and nodded to signal the waiter next to him to come over.

"I'd like a Guerlain," Bian Xiao said, then turned to ask, "What would Miss Han like to drink?"

Having attended many banquets, Han Yue had learned a bit about Guerlain and developed her own preferences. Hearing this, she smiled and said to Bian Xiao, "I also really like Guerlain."

The waiter handed the wine glasses to the two ladies.

"Where in China are you from?" Bian Xiao took a sip of the mellow wine.

"I'm from Jinling. I heard that your family is from Jinling, Miss Bian?" Han Yue was quite the gossipmonger. She was really into the flood of news and marketing articles back then.

“Yes, my great-grandmother’s family was a prominent family in Jinling.” Bian Xiao nodded.

"Don't speak in Chinese, I can't understand it!" Annie complained, pouting as she held her wine glass.

Several younger people sat together chatting, communicating in their native tongue to be considerate of each other.

Norris chatted with Anne's father for a while, and the group toured the Walter family's collection room before leisurely entering the drawing room.

“Della looks much prettier than before, Mr. Lesmonlia,” Mrs. Walter praised with a smile. “I heard she was really good at target practice last time; our Anne was no match for her.”

"She's loved these things since she was little." Norrexis smiled as she looked at her daughter, who was chatting excitedly with a group of people, her curly hair sticking up.

“But why didn’t Phil come? They collected a vintage car this time; he should like it,” Howard said, linking arms with his wife.

"He's not happy about it. A brat can't compare to a daughter," Norris said, offering a reason.

“That’s true.” The ladies nodded, and the adults took their seats.

The male servants brought out the first prized item, and someone was in charge of introducing it.

The first item came from the descendants of the Medler family, who auctioned off their ancestral heirlooms due to their decline.

In fact, the main items in this auction were their family's most precious collection.

"This crown comes from the Grand Duchy of Medellín, and was commissioned by King Charles X to marry his queen. The square diamond at the top weighs 56.2 carats, and the round diamond at the bottom weighs 45.9 carats..."

The waiter pushed the crown in front of the group so that everyone could examine it closely.

“Just tell me what you like,” Allen said to Bian Xiao and Han Yue.

"You said it yourself," Bian Xiao said bluntly. "What if the two of us end up liking all of them?"

"How about I give them all to you?" Allen tapped Bian Xiao on the head. "Do you like this?"

“I don’t like it. It’s so red and gold, and it’s so heavy to wear. I don’t want it. Let them take it to the auction.” Bian Xiao shook his head and refused.

Han Yue naturally shook her head as well. This gemstone was terrifyingly large, so large it looked fake. She wouldn't dare buy one this big even if it were a fake, and she didn't know how she would wear such a heavy crown.

“Honey? Do you want this?” Norresis asked, turning to the side. “Don’t you have a gold dress?” Norresis remembered that her daughter used to love Rococo-style court dresses, and she had a gold and red one that would perfectly match the crown.

Norris loves collecting all kinds of crowns for his daughter. The little princess is not called that for nothing. Since she is his princess of Lesmonlia, how can she not have all kinds of crowns to wear?

"No, Daddy~" Bian Xiao pushed Norris away, wrinkling his little nose in disdain, "I don't like this design."

"Alright, alright, then let's not." Norrexis lovingly let his daughter push him, then turned around and sat up straight.

“Della, I remember you invested in a tech company last time?” Annie asked, casually starting a conversation.

She was a little upset that Della was chatting with another woman; she was supposed to be with her... She had planned to spend the day just the two of them...

"Which one? There are too many to remember?" Bian Xiao was chatting with Han Yue, talking about Teacher Liu who had sponsored her education when she was a child.

He was stunned when he heard Annie's question.

"Then let's just forget about it," Annie said, since she didn't know and didn't care anyway.

"Did you know that Joan is getting engaged to James?" Annie tried to attract Bian Xiao's attention with gossip, and she succeeded.

Now it was Han Yue's turn to feel a little uneasy. She didn't know who Joan was, and James seemed to be a child from some big family.

"Yueyue, I feel like this would suit you perfectly!"
