The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Yao Yingxi paused, her face flushing red with embarrassment at Xi Yuanchen's words hitting the nail on the head.

Xi Yuanchen kept staring at her, and when he saw her cheeks turn red, he knew he had guessed right. He sighed and hugged Yao Yingxi.

At this moment, a hug and words are the best medicine to soothe a good person's emotions. Yao Yingxi rested her head on Xi Yuanchen's shoulder and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was just being emotional."

Xi Yuanchen shook his head: "I don't know if it's because I didn't make you a promise before that you're so anxious?"

Yao Yingxi remained silent, then he continued, "In my opinion, what is possible will naturally come to pass. I dare not make any promises to you now, for fear that you will be disappointed."

He knew that Yao Yingxi would be standing beside him in the future, but he couldn't completely protect her, so he didn't dare to keep her under his control and label her with his own name.

Yao Yingxi tightened her grip on Xi Yuanchen's arm and said, "Don't feel pressured. We'll work hard together in the future."

Cherish every moment. Xi Yuanchen's words had calmed her dissent, and she was now more open-minded: "Let's go have lunch. I'm feeling a bit unwell from drinking too much at the banquet."

Xi Yuanchen responded with an "okay".

For several days in a row, the two of them were busy with their own things. Yao Yingxi was always taken to Xi Yuanchen's company by bodyguards after class, and she had long been used to it.

As the car approached the GP building, Yao Yingxi saw a cake shop and a coffee shop not far across the street and said to the bodyguard, "Pull over to the side of the road, I'm going to buy something to eat."

She always asks Xi Yuanchen's assistant to prepare the same few things, and she's too embarrassed to say so. Now she's almost tired of eating them.

The bodyguard driving the car was initially puzzled as to why Yao Yingxi wanted to get out of the car, but upon hearing the next sentence, he replied, "Yes, Miss Yao."

The car stopped by the roadside, and Yao Yingxi got out, followed by two female bodyguards. The group entered the cake shop, and their eyes lit up when they saw the exquisite pastries made to look as lifelike as flowers.

Girls are always powerless against pretty things. Yao Yingxi picked out a few items and had them packed up. The female bodyguard picked them up and carried them in her hand. The group then went to a coffee shop and ordered two cups of coffee. Afterward, they went to a fruit salad shop.

When they got back to the car, each of the female bodyguards was carrying a few things. In addition to buying one for herself and Xi Yuanchen, Yao Yingxi thought about it and bought one for the top-level employees as a token of her appreciation.

As soon as she got out of the car, everyone at GP knew Yao Yingxi's identity, so even without an employee badge, the security guards at the entrance wouldn't stop her.

As soon as Yao Yingxi got on the elevator, her phone rang. It was Xi Yuanchen calling.

"Did something happen on the way?" Xi Yuanchen's voice was filled with worry. She would have arrived long ago by now, but he couldn't see her. He couldn't help but worry.

"No, I went to buy some things just now, which took up some time. I'm already inside the company now, I'll be there soon."

"it is good."

As soon as Xi Yuanchen finished speaking, Yao Yingxi hung up the phone, and the elevator doors reached the top floor and opened.

Three people came out. Yao Yingxi was carrying her and Xi Yuanchen's share, while the two bodyguards were carrying the two large bags belonging to the company employees.

As she passed the work area, Yao Yingxi said, "I don't know what everyone likes to eat, so I just bought some random things. I hope you like them."

As she finished speaking, the female bodyguard placed the items she was carrying on an empty table.

Those people weren't afraid of Yao Yingxi. After hearing what Yao Yingxi said, they also gathered around, each taking a little bit, making quite a scene.

Yao Yingxi glanced at it with a smile, then walked towards Xi Yuanchen's office. She was carrying some things in her hands, and knocked on the door when she reached the door.

"Come in." As if he knew it was Yao Yingxi, Xi Yuanchen's tone changed when he spoke, unlike the coldness he usually showed when his assistant or secretary came in.

Yao Yingxi pushed open the door, a smile on her face.

Xi Yuanchen was sitting behind his desk with a pen in his hand. When he heard the door open, he looked up and met her gaze.

"What did you buy?" he asked, noticing the bag in Yao Yingxi's hand.

"Afternoon tea, are you done with your work? Come and have some with us."

"I've finished reading this document," Xi Yuanchen replied, then continued looking down at the document in his hand.

Yao Yingxi stopped talking and arranged the contents of the bag on the table.

Every now and then, Xi Yuanchen would sign the document, put down his pen, close the file, and walk out from behind his desk.

Xi Yuanchen didn't like sweet things, so he just sat there drinking coffee.

Yao Yingxi would occasionally scoop a small spoonful and offer it to Xi Yuanchen's lips, but Xi Yuanchen would always shake his head.

He said, "School starts in a few days."

Yao Yingxi nodded: "I know, military training started a long time ago. Tom and I have also agreed that after school starts, we will be commuters, right? I will go to his studio for classes during the two days of vacation, unlike now where it ends at four o'clock, and it won't start from ten o'clock in the morning. Tom said he will start at the hotel, just like you go to work, and you won't be back until five or six o'clock."

Xi Yuanchen frowned, worried: "Won't your body be able to handle this? You're studying all year round, it's not good for you."

Yao Yingxi shook her head: "I'm an apprentice under Tom now. Tom will only tell me what to pay attention to if my design sketches are not up to standard. It won't be too hard."

After finishing her food, Yao Yingxi wiped her hands and reached out.

Xi Yuanchen was puzzled and didn't know what she was going to do, so he stretched out his hand.

Yao Yingxi held his hand: "Don't worry, I can do it."

Design is her interest and won't be too difficult for her. On the contrary, she is more worried that she will find it more difficult to study finance.

But it doesn't matter. The thought of becoming Xi Yuanchen's right-hand woman in the future makes her feel very satisfied.

Even if it's tough, it won't be as tough as it was in the previous ten years or so.

Xi Yuanchen squeezed her hand back: "After you've studied for half a year, I can bring you to the company. Practical experience is better than rigid classes."

Yao Yingxi smiled and joked, "Aren't you afraid I'll leak the company's trade secrets?"

Xi Yuanchen pointed towards the desk and said affectionately, "Go ahead, baby, it's all there."

Yao Yingxi laughed, her eyes fixed on Xi Yuanchen.

I wish time could stand still at this moment.

A knock on the door interrupted Yao Yingxi's hopes. She withdrew her hand, and Xi Yuanchen glanced at her before saying, "Come in."

Anan walked in, holding a bright red invitation card.

He stopped a short distance from the sofa: "Boss, the Ning family patriarch is having his birthday celebration tomorrow. He plans to hold it in YULA tonight. Are you going to attend?"

"go."

Xi Yuanchen turned and took the invitation. There was nothing planned for tomorrow; it was the Ning family patriarch's birthday, and there would definitely be more merchants attending than at Liang Pingyin's engagement banquet.

This is a good opportunity to let Yao Yingxi meet more people.

"Okay, nothing else, I'll head out now."

"I've already looked at the documents on the table. Take them to the planning department; there shouldn't be any problem."

Anan walked over, picked up a document from the table, nodded to Yao Yingxi and Xi Yuanchen, and walked out on his own.
