The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Yao Yingxi sat on the balcony. At this time, the night in Yuncheng was not as cold as in Yingcheng.

A cool breeze was blowing, and Yao Yingxi saw the tree branches downstairs rustling in the wind.

She lay on the chaise lounge with a computer on her stomach.

She searched online for art classes offered by educational institutions, even though she had previously studied art on her own for a period of time out of interest.

But if you don't draw for a long time, you may have forgotten most of it.

Xi Yuanchen opened the bedroom door and walked in, but Yao Yingxi was not in the room.

The French windows on the balcony were open, and the wind made the curtains flutter.

Xi Yuanchen glanced at it and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Yao Yingxi got up from the chaise lounge and walked into the room. She heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. After putting the computer away, she went to the bedside.

About half an hour later, Xi Yuanchen came out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe, his hair wet, water droplets sliding from the ends of his hair into the bathrobe.

Xi Yuanchen came out for a while, and Yao Yingxi was still sitting on the bed. He said, "Come and dry your hair."

Yao Yingxi paused for a few seconds, then got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and took out a hairdryer.

Xi Yuanchen was already sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.

Yao Yingxi plugged in the hair dryer, stood behind Xi Yuanchen, and turned it on.

Warm air blew from the hairdryer onto Xi Yuanchen's hair, making a loud bang and causing his hair to stand up.

A moment later, Yao Yingxi turned off the hairdryer and started tidying up.

She was about to put the hairdryer back in the bathroom.

Suddenly, I was pulled back by a force.

Xi Yuanchen gripped her arm tightly, forcing Yao Yingxi to bend over.

The kiss landed fiercely, and Xi Yuanchen gripped the back of her head, stealing her breath.

The two kissed for a while, but were clearly not satisfied, so Xi Yuanchen pulled Yao Yingxi off the sofa.

The violent rebound of the sofa startled the two of them, and then Xi Yuanchen leaned over Yao Yingxi.

After a night of passion, Yao Yingxi woke up to find herself already in bed.

The two of them continued until late at night before she finally fell asleep.

After getting out of bed and washing up, Yao Yingxi left the room.

Xi Yuanchen was not seen in the living room.

The fish tank on the table seemed neglected, its surface still.

Yao Yingxi walked to the kitchen and glanced at the refrigerator before vaguely remembering that she and Xi Yuanchen had gone out to play for a few days.

There was no food in the refrigerator, so she ordered takeout on her phone and ate it before going to the supermarket.

Yao Yingxi returned from the supermarket carrying a white plastic bag containing several fish, two of which were colorful and of different varieties.

Yao Yingxi put the vegetables in the refrigerator, hung up the white plastic bag, changed the water in the fish tank, and then poured the fish in.

After thinking it over, she placed the fish tank on the balcony of her and Xi Yuanchen's bedroom.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Ringling..."

Yao Yingxi's phone, which was on the table, vibrated. She was looking at a book about clothing design and a fashion magazine from the past few years.

"Hello."

Yao Yingxi picked up her phone and swiped to answer.

"Miss Yao, I'm downstairs. Are you ready?"

Hearing Anan's rambling words on the phone, Yao Yingxi vaguely remembered Xi Yuanchen telling her to get ready to go out during dinner last night.

She felt a sudden surge of nervousness and quickly placed the book on the table: "May I ask what banquet Mr. Xi is attending? I'd like to get dressed."

Anan, who was sitting in the car, paused for a moment and said, "No need to prepare, Miss Yao. The boss asked me to come and pick you up to go find the stylist."

Yao Yingxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then wait a few minutes, I'll go down now."

Yao Yingxi changed into a T-shirt and jeans, and tied her hair into a ponytail before going out.

When Anan saw her coming downstairs, he quickly opened the back door of the car.

When Yao Yingxi saw Xi Yuanchen sitting in the back seat, she was stunned for a few seconds before bending down to sit down.

She thought Xi Yuanchen didn't have time to come, since when she asked Secretary Nan earlier, Xi Yuanchen hadn't been born yet, and Secretary Nan hadn't asked anyone.

Xi Yuanchen asked, "What did you do today?"

Yao Yingxi snapped out of her reverie and remembered what she wanted to tell Xi Yuanchen: "Mr. Xi, I've put the fish tank on the balcony of my bedroom."

Xi Yuanchen nodded.

The two of them didn't speak a word the whole way.

The car was parked in front of a high-end styling studio.

Anan got out of the driver's seat and opened the back door.

Yao Yingxi and Xi Yuanchen got out of the car.

Xi Yuanchen placed his hand in front of his abdomen, gesturing for Yao Yingxi to take his arm.

Yao Yingxi glanced at him and placed her hand over.

The two walked into the studio arm in arm.

"Lady".

A woman dressed in a flamboyant manner saw Xi Yuanchen and quickly walked over: "President Xi."

Xi Yuanchen gave a curt "hmm" and walked to the sofa to sit down.

Yao Yingxi was asked to get her hair and makeup done.

Two hours later, Yao Yingxi came out.

The people in the studio were immediately impressed.

The person who came down from upstairs was wearing a black halter-neck slit dress, with black lace adorning the dress like countless stars slanting down from the chest. The tight-fitting dress accentuated Yao Yingxi's curvaceous figure.

Her hair was styled in an updo, with a few strands deliberately left to lightly brush against her delicate collarbone. A diamond necklace adorned her swan-like neck.

On her delicate chin, her cherry-red lips were painted vermilion, and her small, high, and narrow nose seemed to have been meticulously crafted by an artist.

With her almond-shaped eyes slightly raised, seemingly carrying a thousand threads of allure, Yao Yingxi walked over slowly, like a supermodel at the forefront of fashion.

Xi Yuanchen paused as he looked at the person walking over.

He had no idea that Yao Yingxi could be so alluring when she wasn't in bed.

Lady walked over: "Is Mr. Xi satisfied?"

The woman Mr. Xi brought was so beautiful that even he, as her stylist, rarely saw such a beauty. He only needed to add a touch of embellishment, and the ethereal, otherworldly beauty from before was gone.

Xi Yuanchen's cold gaze narrowed slightly: "My people naturally have exceptional abilities, what is there to be dissatisfied with?"

In a roundabout way, Lady nodded obsequiously, "Mr. Xi is right."

Yao Yingxi took Xi Yuanchen's arm and slowly walked out.

The people in the studio gossiped: "The woman that President Xi brought is truly a beauty. I thought you would give her a gentle and elegant look, Lady."

Lady chuckled: "Everyone knows she's a stunner, how can we not use some indirect methods?"

Anan stood by the car and saw Xi Yuanchen coming out arm in arm with another person from afar. She was stunned for a few seconds, and when she got closer, she was surprised to find that it was Yao Yingxi.

The black halter-neck slit dress revealed glimpses of her chest, and the word "fairy" popped into Anan's mind.

The two got into the car, and Anan secretly glanced at Yao Yingxi a few times in the rearview mirror, as if incredulous.

Yao Yingxi looked at the clothes she was wearing and felt a little happy.

Perhaps it's because girls are naturally drawn to beauty; this was the first time she had seen herself dressed so boldly and in a style different from her previous ones.
