Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yuan family.
Old Master Yuan spent five days building a dream-like princess room in the Yuan family. Everyone in the Yuan family knew that he had found his first love’s granddaughter.
The smiles on Elder Yuan’s face these past few days were more than he had in his entire life. The atmosphere in the Yuan family had also become a little brighter.
The whole family was curious about this little princess, but they had never seen her face.
Therefore, they secretly prepared a gift for the little princess to gain her favor.
Girls would have to get married sooner or later.
If the old man was willing to spend some money to make her happy, so be it.
In the end, one of his eight sons would inherit the Yuan family’s business.
However, if they could use this little princess to gain Elder Yuan’s favor, they might be able to become the next family head.
Yuan Xudong didn’t have a mother, so Uncle Fu was worried about him.
He sent someone to inquire about the other sons and what gifts they had prepared.
He also secretly reminded Yuan Xudong to be more attentive to this little princess who was about to arrive.
Yuan Xudong was very impatient as he said, “I don’t care if 1 can inherit the
Yuan family. Not to mention trying to please a woman just for this.”
Sir, your younger brothers are not easy to deal with. Once you lose the family struggle, you will be chased out of the Yuan family.”
Uncle Fu was worried.
Yuan Xudong was still indifferent as he replied, “I have a sum of money saved up. It’s enough for you to take care of you until you pass away.”
Uncle Fu was speechless.
Was he worried that no one would take care of him in his old age?
He was worried about Sir’s future!
How could Sir deliberately twist his meaning?!
Just as the master and servant were muttering, Old Master Yuan hurried towards the living room. The moment he brushed past them, he stopped and looked up at Yuan Xudong.
He said, “I have an appointment with your niece to pick her up at ten o’clock today. However, Elizabeth just happened to arrive in A-City today. I need to pick her up at the airport. Help me pick Xiaoxi up. Remember to be polite to her and not neglect her. If she complains to me, you’ll be taught a lesson!”
Elizabeth was the Yuan family’s biggest overseas business partner.
Moreover, she had brought her daughter here this time with the intention of marrying one of the Yuan family’s members.
Old Master Yuan thought highly of her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left Ye Xiaoxi behind to pick her up at the airport.
Yuan Xudong replied calmly, “Okay.”
His cold reaction made Elder Yuan rather unhappy.
But there was no time to argue with him.
He left in a hurry with his men.
Uncle Fu said happily, “Sir, the fact that Old Master is willing to hand such an important matter to you means that he values you. You have to do this beautifully.”
Yuan Xudong didn’t say anything, but he was extremely unhappy.
As the two of them were talking, the housekeeper walked over and handed them Ye Xiaoxi’s address.
The housekeeper said, “Old Master has already prepared a car for you. Young Master, Uncle Fu, please be polite to Miss Xiaoxi.””
“Got it,” Uncle Fu answered on behalf of Yuan Xudong.
Then, he happily got into the car with Yuan Xudong.
Ye Xiaoxi was officially moving into the Yuan family mansion today.
She was a little nervous.
Therefore, she called Xiao Yeyu and Jiang Yining in advance.
She asked them to come to her house.
Later, they would accompany her to the Yuan family’s house to take a look.
This was a very important social opportunity, and Xiao Yeyu naturally wouldn’t let it go.
Jiang Yining also agreed.
The two of them met up at Ye Xiaoxi’s house. Xiao Yeyu looked at Jiang Yining awkwardly.
However, she still greeted her warmly.
It was as if there was no grudge between them.
Jiang Yining couldn’t be bothered to brush her off. She avoided her and walked up to Ye Xiaoxi. She asked, “Is everything ready?”
“Yes.”
Ye Xiaoxi was dressed in a white princess dress and her hair had been styled by a stylist.
Her entire aura had changed.
Xiao Yeyu’s face was full of envy.
Ye Xiaoxi’s branded clothes cost at least seven to eight million yuan.
When had she ever worn such gorgeous clothes?
Ye Xiaoxi did not seem to notice her thoughts at all as she waited expectantly for Old Master Yuan.
Time slowly passed…
Finally, it was ten o’clock sharp.
There was a knock on the door.
Ye Xiaoxi stood up and walked forward nervously to open the door.
In the end…
The person standing outside was not Old Master Yuan.
But it was Uncle Fu and Yuan Xudong who had saved her life before.
The smile on Ye Xiaoxi’s face froze and was replaced by confusion.
“Eh, why are you guys here?”
“Miss Ye, what a coincidence.” Uncle Fu didn’t have the time to process everything. He greeted her with a smile, “I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“This is my home.”
What a coincidence…?
Wait a minute…
Yuan Xudong… The Yuan family… And he even came at this time.
Could it be?!
Were they from Grandpa’s family?
Ye Xiaoxi snapped back to her senses and looked at Yuan Xudong in surprise.
Yuan Xudong was a smart man. The moment he laid eyes on Ye Xiaoxi, he knew that the girl before him was the precious granddaughter that his father had mentioned.
“I’m here on my father’s orders to bring you home,” Yuan Xudong said coldly.
Ye Xiaoxi was speechless.
Why was the world so small? Her savior was actually her uncle?
To think that she even felt that the hero saving the damsel in distress was similar to the male and female leads in television dramas!
Pah!
Now, she only wanted to spit on herself.
“Hello, Uncle.” Ye Xiaoxi greeted him obediently.
Uncle Fu was flabbergasted. The Young Madam he had been thinking about was actually the Young Master’s niece.
His fantasy bubble instantly burst!
Uncle Fu was sad for a few seconds before he became happy again.
Forget it.
Sir couldn’t marry Miss Ye, but at least she had a good impression of him.
As long as she could help Sir in the future and take the position of the Yuan family’s heir, it would be fine.
“It’s really fate.” Uncle Fu started to get close.
Yuan Xudong gave him a cold stare, warning him not to do anything unnecessary.
However, Uncle Fu was not afraid of him.
As the three of them chatted and laughed, Jiang Yining and Xiao Yeyu walked out.
Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly introduced her two friends. “This is Yining, the Young Mistress of the Lu family, my best friend! This is Yeyu, the daughter of the Xiao family and one of my good friends.”
Uncle Fu had heard some things about the Young Mistress of the Lu family and respected her.
As for the Xiao family…
He did not remember.
However, as long as they were friends of Miss Xiaoxi, he would welcome them.
He greeted them warmly.
Yuan Xudong was as cold as ever as he said, “Are you done introducing them?
Then let’s hurry home and not waste time. 1 still have a lot of things to deal with in my company.”
“Alright.”
Ye Xiaoxi nodded obediently, not displeased at all.
Uncle Fu tried to smooth things over. He said, “Miss Xiaoxi, please don’t take it to heart. Sir is usually very busy, so he especially took the time to pick you up today.”
“Okay, I know! I’ve really troubled you guys!”
Ye Xiaoxi was elated.
She had originally thought that the Yuan family was very unfamiliar and that there was no one she knew.
However, with Uncle Fu and Yuan Xudong, she could at least trouble them if she ran into any trouble.
The group got into the car and the driver drove to the Yuan family’s house.
When they arrived, as soon as they came down, the entire Yuan family surrounded them enthusiastically and gave Ye Xiaoxi presents one by one.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiaoxi could no longer carry any more presents.
However, they still refused to stop, afraid that they would not be able to establish a relationship with her if they did not give her a gift.
Ye Xiaoxi’s hand slipped.
A gift box fell to the ground and she subconsciously reached out to pick it up.
She had forgotten that she still had so many things in her arms.
She lost her balance and fell backward.
In the end, she fell into Yuan Xudong’s arms.
There was a faint fragrance of bamboo mixed with pine on his body, which was very tranquil and pleasant.
Ye Xiaoxi’s nervous emotions calmed down when she caught a whiff of his scent.
But the next second…
Yuan Xudong pulled her out of his arms with an icy expression..
