Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
“Okay, Rourou and your brothers will go upstairs—the banquet hall has two floors—and when the party starts, you co down.” Xiao Hongli planned to give Tang Xia a debut fit for a princess and make her the focus of attention as soon as she showed up.
The Xiao brothers imdiately stood up and said in unison, “That’ll be great.”
Xiao Sa glared at his two brothers as he said, “Why are you guys so excited? Are you as handso as ? I’ll be Rourou’s escort!”
“Get out of here!” Xiao Jing kicked at him and said, “I’m a hundred tis more handso than you, alright? Besides, I’m only two years older than her as her third elder brother. We’re the closest in age. I’ll be her escort!”
“Humph.” A snort of disdain ca from Xiao Yao, who shot a piercing cold stare at his brothers. Staring at the two who were busy arguing, he said coldly, “I’m the eldest brother, so I’m the most qualified.”
“Nonsense! Don’t put on airs!” The other two said together.
Seeing that, because of her new daughter, the family atmosphere had beco more harmonious and that even her always serious eldest son was acting so cutely, Yang Jingxian couldn’t help but laugh. Rourou was really her lucky star.
“Alright, stop quarrelling,” Xiao Hongli suddenly said to the three bickering brothers. “It’s really hard to pick one from you brothers. Let , her father, serve as Rourou’s escort.”
“No way!” the three brothers said in one voice again.
“Haha...” Grandpa Xiao laughed. It was his first ti laughing so hard in all these years. He looked at the three brothers and said with mirth, “How about this? All of you will be your sister’s knights tonight. Go then, knights.”
Yang Jingxian also nodded and said, “That’s a good idea.”
“Let’s go, sister.” Xiao Sa was the most enthusiastic one among the Xiao brothers.
Tang Xi nodded and replied, “Okay, let’s go.”
She gathered up her dress and walked up the stairs. When she passed a mirror wall, however, she ca to a sudden stop. Staring at herself in the mirror, she was stunned!
Damn, where did this noble princess co from?!
She almost recognized Rourou as herself!
Oh, my god! This devilish figure of hers!
And this makeup!
Was this the ‘perfect makeup’ 008 ntioned? Oh, my god, was it really just a makeup? Her cup size had changed from A to 32C! And what happened to her eyes and nose?
Why didn’t he tell the effect in advance?
No wonder they had all looked so surprised at her!
She couldn’t even recognize herself!
Seeing Tang Xi standing in a daze, Xiao Yao whispered to her, “Rourou, what’s wrong?”
Tang Xi recovered from her reverie and imdiately shook her head. “I’m alright. Let’s go upstairs.”
Tang Xi and the Xiao brothers went upstairs. At this ti, Liu Chengyu, who had finally managed to get away from the journalists, walked by. Spotting Tang Xi, he raised his eyebrows. ‘Wow, what a beautiful woman!’
Just then, Xiao Jinning, who had been continuing to wait for him in the banquet hall, ca up to him and grumbled in a flirtish manner, “Brother Chengyu, why don’t you co in?”
Liu Chengyu withdrew his gaze and smiled at Xiao Jinning, saying, “I just took a phone call,” and then he affectionately put his arm around her waist. “Co on, let’s go in.”
Xiao Jinning nodded sweetly and replied, “Okay, let’s go.”
On her side, Tang Xi went upstairs with the three brothers. From there, she could see the people in the banquet hall downstairs. Tang Xi didn’t like socializing and her status was quite noble before, so she hadn’t needed to cope with such occasions at all. Now, looking at the people downstairs, she suddenly got a headache.
She just couldn’t escape these social engagents!
Seeing her grimace painfully, the Xiao brothers thought she got stage fright in the face of so many upper-class people of City A. After all, she was just a little girl who had never experienced such an occasion before. It was understandable that she got stage fright...
Xiao Jing comforted her with gentle words, “Don’t be afraid, Rourou. Follow and I’ll protect you.”
“Go away! Look at your skinny body, whom can you protect?” Xiao Sa pushed Xiao Jing away and said to Tang Xi lovingly, “Rourou, I’ll protect you. You can count on . I’m a black belt in Taekwondo.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and said, “Really?”
It seed that if she wanted to improve her Martial Point, she could turn to Xiao Sa for help!
As Xiao Sa nodded complacently, Xiao Yao’s cold snort was heard again. Xiao Sa turned furious at the sound. He glared at Xiao Yao as he said, “What? You have a problem with ? Co on, let’s fight!”
“Are you sure you can beat ?” Xiao Yao cast a sideways glance at Xiao Sa. “Let’s PK now?”
Xiao Sa imdiately flinched. He hid behind Tang Xi and looked at Xiao Yao with an aggrieved look. “You are only so cocky because you are a head of a governntal departnt!”
A head of a governntal departnt... Tang Xi looked inquiringly at Xiao Yao.
Seeing that his words had attracted his sister’s attention, Xiao Sa whispered to Tang Xi, “Sister, I usually don’t tell people about this, but you are the only exception. Xiao Yao is the director of a departnt of the National Intelligence Bureau. He not only knows much of national intelligence, but is also a Kungfu master.”
“Xiao Sa!”
Xiao Yao glared at Xiao Sa and the latter imdiately shut up.
Tang Xi’s eyes lit up. It seed that she could learn Kungfu from Xiao Yao!
However... Tang Xi looked at Xiao Sa and chuckled as she asked, “Sa, how many people have you told this secret to?”
Xiao Sa scratched his head and replied, “I forgot.”
Seeing Tang Xi laughing happily, Xiao Yao finally let Xiao Sa off. He walked over to Tang Xi, reached out his hand and said to her tenderly, “Don’t be nervous.”
In fact, Xiao Sa didn’t have a big mouth; only the Xiao brothers knew about Xiao Yao’s identity. Even the Yang Family people didn’t know about this, including their grandfather General Yang.
Tang Xi realized that they said this just to help her relax. Warmth welled up inside her as she held onto Xiao Yao’s arm.
“Yao, you cheat!” Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing imdiately protested. “You should let Rourou choose herself!”
Xiao Yao paused and looked back at his brothers. Their eyes lit up as they thought that they might have a chance. When they were about to ask Tang Xi to choose, however, Xiao Yao’s cold voice burst their bubble, “Didn’t Rourou just choose?”
Oh, my gosh! He was so bossy, just like she used to be!
She liked it!
“Xiao Yao, you’re shaless!” Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing beca angry.
Xiao Yao snorted coldly and replied, “Humph, I don’t care, because you’re not in the sa league as .”
Tang Xi blinked. Why did this sound so familiar?
It seed that she’d heard it sowhere...
Holding onto Xiao Yao’s arm, Tang Xi walked downstairs step by step.
