n“Okay, Rourou and your brothers will go upstairs—the banquet hall has two floors—and when the party starts, you come 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.

nThe Xiao brothers immediately stood up and said in unison, “That’ll be great.”

nXiao Sa glared at his two brothers as he said, “Why are you guys so excited? Are you as handsome as me? I’ll be Rourou’s escort!”

n“Get out of here!” Xiao Jing kicked at him and said, “I’m a hundred times more handsome 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!”

n“Humph.” A snort of disdain came 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.”

n“Nonsense! Don’t put on airs!” The other two said together.

nSeeing that, because of her new daughter, the family atmosphere had become 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.

n“Alright, stop quarrelling,” Xiao Hongli suddenly said to the three bickering brothers. “It’s really hard to pick one from you brothers. Let me, her father, serve as Rourou’s escort.”

n“No way!” the three brothers said in one voice again.

n“Haha…” Grandpa Xiao laughed. It was his first time 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.”

nYang Jingxian also nodded and said, “That’s a good idea.”

n“Let’s go, sister.” Xiao Sa was the most enthusiastic one among the Xiao brothers.

nTang Xi nodded and replied, “Okay, let’s go.”

nShe gathered up her dress and walked up the stairs. When she passed a mirror wall, however, she came to a sudden stop. Staring at herself in the mirror, she was stunned!

nDamn, where did this noble princess come from?!

nShe almost recognized Rourou as herself!

nOh, my god! This devilish figure of hers!

nAnd this makeup!

nWas this the ‘perfect makeup’ 008 mentioned? 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?

nWhy didn’t he tell me the effect in advance?

nNo wonder they had all looked so surprised at her!

nShe couldn’t even recognize herself!

nSeeing Tang Xi standing in a daze, Xiao Yao whispered to her, “Rourou, what’s wrong?”

nTang Xi recovered from her reverie and immediately shook her head. “I’m alright. Let’s go upstairs.”

nTang Xi and the Xiao brothers went upstairs. At this time, 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!’

nJust then, Xiao Jinning, who had been continuing to wait for him in the banquet hall, came up to him and grumbled in a flirtish manner, “Brother Chengyu, why don’t you come in?”

nLiu 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. “Come on, let’s go in.”

nXiao Jinning nodded sweetly and replied, “Okay, let’s go.”

nOn 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.

nShe just couldn’t escape these social engagements!

nSeeing 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…

nXiao Jing comforted her with gentle words, “Don’t be afraid, Rourou. Follow me and I’ll protect you.”

n“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 me. I’m a black belt in Taekwondo.”

nTang Xi raised her eyebrows and said, “Really?”

nIt seemed that if she wanted to improve her Martial Point, she could turn to Xiao Sa for help!

nAs 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 me? Come on, let’s fight!”

n“Are you sure you can beat me?” Xiao Yao cast a sideways glance at Xiao Sa. “Let’s PK now?”

nXiao Sa immediately 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 governmental department!”

nA head of a governmental department… Tang Xi looked inquiringly at Xiao Yao.

nSeeing 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 department of the National Intelligence Bureau. He not only knows much of national intelligence, but is also a Kungfu master.”

n“Xiao Sa!”

nXiao Yao glared at Xiao Sa and the latter immediately shut up.

nTang Xi’s eyes lit up. It seemed that she could learn Kungfu from Xiao Yao!

nHowever… Tang Xi looked at Xiao Sa and chuckled as she asked, “Sa, how many people have you told this secret to?”

nXiao Sa scratched his head and replied, “I forgot.”

nSeeing 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.”

nIn 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.

nTang Xi realized that they said this just to help her relax. Warmth welled up inside her as she held onto Xiao Yao’s arm.

n“Yao, you cheat!” Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing immediately protested. “You should let Rourou choose herself!”

nXiao 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?”

nOh, my gosh! He was so bossy, just like she used to be!

nShe liked it!

n“Xiao Yao, you’re shameless!” Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing became angry.

nXiao Yao snorted coldly and replied, “Humph, I don’t care, because you’re not in the same league as me.”

nTang Xi blinked. Why did this sound so familiar?

nIt seemed that she’d heard it somewhere…

nHolding onto Xiao Yao’s arm, Tang Xi walked downstairs step by step.
