The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Anan asked, "Isn't Miss Yao coming with us?"

Yao Yingxi shook her head: "No, I have other things to do."

She didn't want to be in the same space as Xi Yuanchen and Ye Xiaoya for even a minute. She was afraid she would suffocate and do something she couldn't control.

Xi Yuanchen said coldly, "Get in the car."

These words were spoken to Yao Yingxi, who stubbornly stood there, ignoring them.

After weighing whether to listen to Xi Yuanchen or Yao Yingxi, Anan stood still.

Xi Yuanchen opened the car door: "I don't want to say it a second time."

Although his face was cold, his tone was not so harsh.

Ye Xiaoya thought Xi Yuanchen opened the car door to let her in first, and she was just bending down to sit in the car when...

Xi Yuanchen coldly reminded her, "Xiaoya, you sit in the front."

Ye Xiaoya looked embarrassed, her hands fidgeting awkwardly. She lowered her eyes, walked to the passenger door, opened it, and glanced at Yao Yingxi with a cold look before getting in.

Seeing Ye Xiaoya's embarrassment, Yao Yingxi felt a little better. She stopped stubbornly standing there and listened to Xi Yuanchen's words, bending down to get into the car.

The car door closed, Anan got into his driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and started the car.

Yao Yingxi glanced at Xi Yuanchen and asked, "Where are we going?"

She wasn't familiar with this area, and although she wanted Anan to take her back to the hotel, she still needed to ask Xi Yuanchen first.

After all, Xi Yuanchen is the boss in this car.

"Come with me to take Xiaoya back."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked somewhat disappointed, her right hand, which was hanging by her side, gripping the seat.

Yao Yingxi fell silent.

The car drove all the way into the residential area, where Anan stopped it.

Ye Xiaoya unbuckled her seatbelt, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked Xi Yuanchen, still unwilling to give up, "Brother Yuanchen, before you go back these next few days, can I treat you to a meal?"

Yao Yingxi glanced at her with a slight smile before turning her gaze back to the window.

Xi Yuanchen nodded: "Okay."

Hearing this answer, Yao Yingxi's anger, which had been building up inside, grew even stronger.

Ye Xiaoya's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Okay, then I'll head back first, Brother Yuanchen... Miss Yao."

He deliberately dragged out his name when calling Yao Yingxi.

Yao Yingxi turned her head and smiled politely.

The car door closed, and her lips pressed into a thin line.

Xi Yuanchen glanced at her and said to Anan, "Go back to the villa."

Yao Yingxi frowned: "I have something to do, I need to go to the hotel."

She wouldn't go to Xi Yuanchen's villa here. What if Ye Xiaoya or Fang Xiaoya's sister came into the villa and did something with him? Was she just going to stand there and watch?

"What's up? What do you need?"

Yao Yingxi paused for a moment when asked the question, then replied irritably, "It's inconvenient to go to your place for sightseeing."

Xi Yuanchen did not answer, and the car continued to drive.

Yao Yingxi thought Xi Yuanchen would take her back to the hotel, but instead, the car drove to a more and more remote place.

A thought suddenly popped into her mind: what if Xi Yuanchen thought she was in the way and sent her to a remote place, so he let her come back temporarily?

As the car drove closer to the villas in the affluent neighborhood, Yao Yingxi finally felt a little relieved.

But she quickly realized what was happening and glanced at Xi Yuanchen.

Xi Yuanchen was looking down at the computer screen, his hands typing on the keyboard.

Yao Yingxi wondered, when did Xi Yuanchen start using his computer for work?

She didn't make a sound to disturb them, and parked the car in front of a villa.

Xi Yuanchen closed his laptop and got out of the car, placing his hand on the car door, clearly intending to help Yao Yingxi.

Yao Yingxi was angry, but if she kept refusing Xi Yuanchen or arguing with him, she was afraid that Xi Yuanchen would get impatient, so she had no choice but to obediently put her hand in his palm.

Anan took Yao Yingxi's suitcase out of the trunk.

As the group entered the villa, Xi Yuanchen opened the door and said, "Hang up your clothes."

Yao Yingxi looked up at him and asked, "I don't want to live here?"

Xi Yuanchen frowned: "Why?"

Yao Yingxi didn't say anything.

Xi Yuanchen turned around and went upstairs with his suitcase. Yao Yingxi had no choice but to follow.

Upon reaching the second floor, Xi Yuanchen opened the door to the room and pushed his suitcase inside.

The room was spotless, decorated entirely in black and white.

Yao Yingxi knew without asking that Xi Yuanchen lived here.

Before pushing the suitcase into the dressing room, he said to Yao Yingxi, "Hang it up."

Yao Yingxi was still seething with anger, and the thought of living with Xi Yuanchen and possibly encountering a god-sister made her even more unhappy.

She walked slowly past, and then slowly gathered her clothes.

Xi Yuanchen noticed a drawing board and paintbrushes in her suitcase and asked, "Are you learning to paint?"

He hadn't been paying attention to Yao Yingxi's life lately, so he didn't know what she was up to.

Yao Yingxi gave a faint "hmm".

Xi Yuanchen walked to the sofa and sat down. Yao Yingxi finished tidying up her things, got up, put the drawing board away, turned around and saw Xi Yuanchen sitting on the sofa, and was slightly surprised.

She thought Xi Yuanchen had already left, which was why there was no sound in the room.

Xi Yuanchen asked, "Why are you following me?"

He wouldn't have noticed Yao Yingxi following him if he hadn't accidentally seen her at the hotel entrance. How interesting.

Yao Yingxi was stunned for a long time before she finally spoke: "The road is so wide, how did Mr. Xi know I was following you?"

"You were the one who saw me in the taxi and pulled me out."

Although he felt guilty, his tone was very firm.

Xi Yuanchen stood up from the sofa, and Yao Yingxi was a little scared. He stepped forward, and Yao Yingxi backed away, quickly retreating to the corner of the wall: "Are you sure?"

Yao Yingxi's tone softened: "Isn't that right?"

With Xi Yuanchen staring at her so closely, Yao Yingxi felt even more guilty.

Xi Yuanchen's lips curled into a smile, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he leaned down: "What do you think?"

A deep voice entered her ear, followed by warm breath on Yao Yingxi's skin, raising goosebumps.

Yao Yingxi's legs went weak, her mind went blank, and she forgot to answer for a moment.

Before Yao Yingxi could react, warm lips were pressed against hers, and Xi Yuanchen opened his mouth to nibble on her lower lip.

Yao Yingxi winced in pain, her delicate brows furrowing.

Xi Yuanchen's kiss deepened. Yao Yingxi's legs grew weaker and weaker, and she could only cling to Xi Yuanchen's arm.

Xi Yuanchen pulled away from her lips, looking at her flushed face, her eyes filled with spring, and her thin lips slightly parted.

He felt a tightening in his lower abdomen, but he suppressed the restless desire in his heart and asked softly, "Why are you following me?"

Yao Yingxi's mind went blank at this moment, and she could only follow her heart: "Is it appropriate for Mr. Xi to be so affectionate with his own sister? Shouldn't I get to know the person who might take my job in the future?"

Upon hearing this answer, Xi Yuanchen's eyebrows unconsciously curved into a smile, and he was in a great mood.

No wonder Yao Yingxi was subtly criticizing Ye Xiaoya at the dinner table and in the car; she was jealous.

Thinking of this, his deep voice became even gentler: "Why are you jealous of things that have nothing to do with me? Xiaoya is just the younger sister of my old friend. Now that he's gone, I'm just looking after her sister."

Yao Yingxi snapped out of her daze, remembering what she had just said. She was about to regret it, but when she heard Xi Yuanchen's reply, she stared blankly at him.
