The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Xi Yuanchen paused when he heard her call his name and saw the soup in front of him.

Yao Yingxi chose light and bland dishes, which was obviously for her own benefit.

But he didn't think much of it, feeling that Yao Yingxi was just taking care of him.

He took care of Yao Yingxi, so it's only right that Yao Yingxi takes care of him and thinks about his health.

After serving a bowl of soup, Yao Yingxi placed the porridge in front of Xi Yuanchen.

"Mr. Xi, I don't know how much you ate, but the food on the table was all chili peppers, which is bad for your stomach. Could you please eat less of that in the future?"

Xi Yuanchen didn't say anything, just sipped his soup.

Yao Yingxi could only lower her eyes, eat a few bites of the food in front of her, and then put down her chopsticks.

Xi Yuanchen was in a great mood and ate most of the dishes in front of him before putting down his chopsticks.

Yao Yingxi packed up all her things and went to the bathroom. Xi Yuanchen followed behind her with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Yao Yingxi squeezed toothpaste into her mouth when Xi Yuanchen suddenly walked in. She was slightly startled for a few seconds, but quickly regained her composure.

After brushing her teeth, Yao Yingxi went to bed. Xi Yuanchen also came out of the bathroom.

Yao Yingxi lay down and covered herself with the blanket. Xi Yuanchen lay down beside her.

The next morning, Yao Yingxi was woken up by Xi Yuanchen at seven o'clock. The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the warm sun was just peeking out.

Yao Yingxi sat on the bed, while Xi Yuanchen, having changed his clothes, sat on the sofa.

"Mr. Xi, I think I'll pass on the skiing."

She forgot to tell Xi Yuanchen last night.

Upon hearing her words, Xi Yuanchen frowned slightly, somewhat displeased: "Why?"

Yao Yingxi lowered her eyes: "I...I don't know how."

Xi Yuanchen was taken aback and got up from the sofa: "Change your clothes."

Yao Yingxi stood up helplessly: "I didn't bring a ski suit."

"Just wear thick clothes."

Yao Yingxi took a short down jacket out of the closet and wrapped herself up like a dumpling before coming out of the bathroom.

She was very thin, her hair was tied up and wrapped around her neck with a scarf, and she wore earmuffs on both sides of her head.

Xi Yuanchen felt a sudden tenderness in his heart as he looked at her. The person in front of him felt like a cat, tickling his heart.

"Mr. Xi, is this alright?"

Yao Yingxi didn't know how cold the snow mountain was, so she could only cover herself up, since she was particularly sensitive to cold and might freeze before she even got to the top.

"Okay."

Xi Yuanchen patted her head and said, "I'll go change my clothes."

Yao Yingxi nodded, watching Xi Yuanchen go inside. Despite wearing so many layers, she didn't appear particularly bulky, perhaps because she was thin.

Xi Yuanchen came out wearing a black down jacket and cotton pants, a beige scarf around his neck, and gloves on his hands.

He looks very composed.

Remembering something, Yao Yingxi walked to the table, picked up the thermos, poured in a large glass of water, closed the lid, and hugged it to her chest.

The two men went outside and saw Bai Tingsheng walking over: "Boss, I thought you weren't awake yet, and I was just about to come and wake you up."

Yao Yingxi smiled slightly: "Good morning, Mr. Bai."

It's very hot in the city dressed like that.

"Miss Yao, you don't need to be so polite. You're the boss's man, just call me Tingsheng."

Bai Tingsheng said with a smile. It was because of this that he also sensed that Xi Yuanchen's feelings for Yao Yingxi seemed to exceed the level of their current relationship.

So from the moment he met Yao Yingxi, he did his best not to embarrass her or make her look down on him.

Xi Yuanchen's deep voice rang out: "Just call him Tingsheng."

Hearing this, Yao Yingxi was somewhat stunned. Was Xi Yuanchen trying to pull her into his circle?

Bai Tingsheng said, "Let's go, boss, they're still waiting at the door."

Upon hearing the voice, Yao Yingxi looked up and glanced at Xi Yechen.

Finding that Xi Yuanchen wasn't looking at her, she lowered her eyes and clenched her hands tightly in her pockets.

Upon arriving at the resort entrance, two bulky SUVs were parked there.

Upon seeing the person who looked up and was packing their things, they greeted them: "Yuanchen, good morning."

Bai Tingsheng frowned slightly when he saw that none of them greeted Yao Yingxi. He glanced at Yao Yingxi, but could not see her expression; he could only see that her eyes were expressionless.

Bai Tingsheng stepped forward and asked, "Is it ready?"

Yao Yingxi was so perceptive, how could she not sense that, apart from Bai Tingsheng, those people were very polite to her, completely isolating her from them?

She knew in her heart that she looked out of place among these people.

Yuan Xi closed the trunk: "Get in. Yuan Chen, Miss Yao, and who else are coming along?"

Fang Qing immediately raised her hand: "Me and Meng Yao."

Bai Tingsheng stepped forward with a smile: "The women are all in the boss's car, that won't do. I'll ride with the boss and the others. I have something to say to the boss."

Fang Qing said disapprovingly, "Why do you have to tell the boss everything? Are you afraid we'll hear?"

Bai Tingsheng lowered his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips: "You guessed right."

Fang Qing looked somewhat displeased, but Bai Tingsheng didn't care and opened the driver's side door to get in.

Xi Yuanchen opened the car door, let Yao Yingxi in, and then closed the door behind him.

Fang Qing was furious as the car was about to start, but she was too embarrassed to show it.

She wanted to take this opportunity to confirm whether Xi Yuanchen's relationship with Yao Yingxi was because of Ye An'an, but Bai Tingsheng ruined it.

Qin Ming stepped forward and took Fang Qing's hand: "Let's go, otherwise Ting Sheng will leave us far behind in his car."

Because it was developed into a tourist attraction, we stopped the car halfway there.

You can't drive up the snow mountain, and in order not to damage the scenic area, the road isn't completely built.

"I'll go downstairs and get you your ski suits."

Bai Tingsheng opened the car door, opened the trunk, and took out two sets of ski suits, one for women and one for men.

He handed the woman to Xi Yuanchen, who took it and frowned slightly when he saw that it wasn't a onesie.

Are you wearing any undershirt?

Hearing Xi Yuanchen ask this, Yao Yingxi was taken aback, and after a long while she nodded: "She was wearing a turtleneck."

Xi Yuanchen nodded. "Take off the back of your clothes, discard the undershirt, and put on this."

Yao Yingxi declined: "Mr. Xi, I don't know how to do it anyway, so I won't bother."

"If you don't know how, you can learn. Let's switch."

Helpless, Yao Yingxi reached out and unzipped her down jacket. Seeing that Xi Yuanchen was still sitting there, she stared at him and asked, "Mr. Xi, aren't you going to change?"

She wanted Xi Yuanchen to leave, but she didn't know how to bring it up. After all, they had seen each other in every way, and it would seem pretentious for her to say it.

She wasn't used to changing clothes in front of people, always feeling it was very indecent, even if she wasn't naked.

"Not urgent."

Yao Yingxi almost forced herself to take off her clothes in front of Xi Yuanchen, leaving only her undershirt. The protective suit was separate, and Yao Yingxi put it on one piece at a time.

As soon as she finished putting it on, Yao Yingxi felt a chill piercing her skin, and she shivered.

The ski suits aren't very thin, but they're not very thick either, especially here.

Xi Yuanchen then handed her the buttock protector: "Put it on."

Yao Yingxi accepted the gift somewhat awkwardly and obediently put it on.
