A virtual princess? She's a real princess!

Sadwell stood at the door waiting for his sister to return home late at night after playing with her friends. His tall figure was encased in a well-tailored dark suit.

Wenlu looked at the man opposite him, a man in his thirties with deep-set, exceptionally handsome features. The warm light from behind the door outlined his silhouette. Years of immersion in power had filled him with an invisible pressure. Even though he was his sister's friend, Sadwell remained unmoved, glancing at him lightly with his green eyes before focusing all his attention on his sister.

"Tired?" From afar, he saw the little girl yawn, and there were still some tears left in the corners of her eyes. Sadwell reached out and gently wiped away the tear stains.

"Wenluo, you should get some rest too, Mrs. Anna, please make the arrangements." Bian Xiao leaned against Sadwell and wouldn't walk properly. He didn't want his brother to carry him, he just wanted to cuddle.

"Which room are you sleeping in tonight?" Sadwell asked.

Bian Xiao thought for a moment, "Let's go to the master bedroom." He had just fallen asleep in the greenhouse and felt uncomfortable without taking a shower. Thinking about the plan, Bian Xiao said to the driver, "Take me to the hot springs."

"Don't soak for too long, you'll feel dizzy for a while after each soak," Sadwell advised.

"I know~" but he doesn't listen, hehe.

Bian Xiao especially loves soaking in hot springs. Even though she died by drowning in her previous life, she doesn't dislike the sea at all; on the contrary, she likes the ocean and hot springs.

Sadwell knew his sister well enough to understand her instantly. The little girl's eyes lit up and he knew it all. No problem, he could just have the maid call her at the appointed time.

The maid behind him had already made arrangements when she heard Bian Xiao's words, and everything was ready when Bian Xiao arrived at the hot spring room. The only thing that needed to be specified by Bian Xiao was the pajamas he would wear later.

After taking a bath and washing away all his fatigue, Bian Xiao slept soundly through the night.

.......

Don't be fooled by the fact that Bian Xiao is always with people like Innoresis and Sadwell; they're all incredibly busy, with countless meetings and official duties. Otherwise, where would Bian Xiao get his money?

So the day after his birthday, Bian Yinnoresis had already flown away. Ye Jun had to return to China for training, and next week was his final. So some friends and Ye Jun took the same plane back to China.

Bian Xiao woke up in the afternoon, had lunch, and then began the long signing event.

The location was Bian Xiao's conference room. The legal team and various responsible persons were arranged on the left and right sides. Bian Xiao sat in the center of the desk, took a deep breath, and announced, "Let's begin!"

She's an adult now, and what awaits her first are a huge pile of inheritance documents, transfer documents, and share transfer agreements, all of which require her signature. She'll be busy these next few days.

Regarding mineral resources in Cambushi, South Africa...

"LM Bank....."

"Kangfuli Petroleum..."

.....

This is only the property belonging to her father, Lesmonlia. Compared to her brother, Bian He, she also has the property from her great-grandparents in China.

Because of her brother's nationality, she inherited all the property in China, while the property abroad was to be divided equally between the two of them. As a result, she had so many documents that Bian Xiao spent an entire afternoon working on only one-third of the documents related to the United States, with the remaining two major parts—mainland China and Hong Kong—still to be dealt with.

For the first time, Bian Xiao realized that having too much wealth could also be a big problem.

Thinking of his wrist, Bian Xiao decisively threw away his pen, ordered the kitchen to prepare plenty of ingredients, and took Xie Jin and Lin Zhiqing on the yacht. The group went out to sea and had a barbecue, sang, and set off fireworks for most of the day before returning to the manor.

Bian Xiao was signing his name here, panting heavily, while Xie Jin was walking slowly along the coastline alone, the bright red sun shining on the sea in the distance, making it sparkle.

Xie Jin looked back; the white castle was surrounded by layers of lush greenery. It was such a massive structure, yet it was completely invisible on satellite images.

He reached out, took the item out, and examined it closely before finally putting it back in his pocket.

After a busy day, Bian Xiao ate and drank her fill, only to find Xie Jin missing. The maid told her Xie Jin was at the beach. Bian Xiao thought she'd go for a stroll at the beach too.

Bian Xiao saw Xie Jin sitting alone on the beach from afar, his back to the shore, his figure lonely. The sea breeze made his clothes flutter, and the waves crashed against the sand, leaving deep and shallow ripples.

Bian Xiao was followed by several maids and seven or eight armed bodyguards.

The golden sand was soft and fine. Bian Xiao slipped off his shoes and quietly walked towards Xie Jin. The maid behind him picked up his shoes and put them away.

Bian Xiao wore a yellow tulle dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind. Her black curly hair was slightly messy, which made her red lips and white teeth stand out even more, and her green eyes were bright.

There was no sound, but the wind carried her unique fragrance.

Xie Jin knew the girl had arrived.

Sure enough, within two seconds, a bright yellow figure sat down beside him.

"It's cold in here, why didn't the maid give you a coat?" Xie Jin took off his coat and wrapped it around Bian Xiao. His thick hair danced in the sea breeze. Xie Jin moved closer, gently brushing aside the disheveled hair, revealing a strikingly beautiful face with clear green eyes.

Bian Xiao had recently sensed that Xie Jin was acting strangely; he seemed listless and unmotivated. His amber eyes were like dark lakes in a forest. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Xie Jin knew Bian Xiao was worried about him. That night on the cruise ship, everyone was dancing, and the atmosphere was lively. Only she noticed his loneliness, pulled him into a duet, and joined the group.

He knew that she brought him along because she thought she was being rejected.

She was a kind little sun all along.

Who doesn't love sunshine?

He saw the worry in her eyes.

In fact, according to the plan, he had already succeeded. He not only became Consort Qi, but he may have even reached the position of a minor concubine.

He can fabricate a story that combines truth and falsehood.

He had lived in that cramped, dark room since he was a child. God owed him more than just a little bit of sunlight; he wanted more.

But that was sunlight, and even the gentlest sunlight can dispel all darkness.

Xie Jin closed his eyes and kissed the girl's lips.

This time, Bian Xiao did not dodge.

It was just a touch.

Xie Jin zipped up his clothes and gently asked Bian Xiao while tying her hair, "Would you like to hear a story?"

Bian Xiao immediately knew that the story was definitely Xie Jin's own.

I have a friend who understands.

Bian Xiao leaned against Xie Jin's chest, feeling the man's heartbeat and body temperature, and smelling a fresh fragrance.

"I'm an orphan."

Bian Xiao knew this; it was written in the documents.

“My mother found me when she was 15 years old.”

"She was young and didn't have much education. She could only rely on men to make a living and raise me. That's all she knew how to do. After all, she was sold to a high-ranking official by her own father when she was only 12 years old." Xie Jin spoke calmly, as if he were telling a story unrelated to himself.

"What big shot? How dare he! He's only 12 years old, just a child!" Bian Xiao was already fuming with anger upon hearing this. "Who is it?"

Xie Jin shook his head. "My mother doesn't know either."

"Later, when I was 9 years old, my mother died of illness on June 1st."

"That day, I got some candy from the old lady on the street. It was a Children's Day gift. I felt that my mother's pain would stop after she ate the candy."

But the pain prevented the woman from eating anything; she could only scream and wail, feeling her life slipping away bit by bit, yet utterly powerless.

"I covered my mom with a blanket because I thought she was too tired and that she might be able to get up after a nap."

"There were three candies in total," Xie Jin paused, "I was so greedy that I ate one on the way, leaving two for my mother and me."

Bian Xiao tugged at Xie Jin's sleeve; she simply dared not think any further.

"Later, the sugar syrup was liquefied, and my mother was taken away and cremated by the neighbors after they called the police."

Bian Xiao felt that any words of comfort were inadequate. She straightened up and hugged Xie Jin, feeling the warm liquid soaking her clothes.

A salty sea breeze blew, and the setting sun gradually sank, its orange-red hue hanging on the horizon. Xie Jin looked up and saw the girl looking down, her fair face outlined in a soft golden light by the sunlight.

"Xiaoxiao," Xie Jin said, "I want to give you a birthday present."

Bian Xiao asked in confusion, "Huh? Didn't you give me a photo album? I really liked your gift."

Xie Jin shook his head, then smiled slowly, his smile incredibly gentle, "It's the only thing I possess."

I want to give it to you.

"What is it?"

“It’s a good luck charm.” Xie Jin reached into his pocket, where a small, transparent box contained the charm. “My mother gave it to me. I almost got into a car accident once, but I managed to avoid it. I think it was thanks to the charm. I wanted to give it to you.”

Xie Jin handed the amulet to Bian Xiao.

"Xiaoxiao!"
