Dong Wenqi suddenly thought of something and intended to ask Su Xi, but the call got disconnected.

Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Dong Wenqi was dumbfounded.

What she remembered earlier while speaking was that, wasn’t that Ye Zexing from the side branch of the Su family?

Suyuan Group was definitely a transcendent existence in B City. The reason why Ye Zexing had so many brain-dead fans, why he was able to play around at school, skip classes every three days and fight every two days, and still hadn’t been expelled, was largely because he had a remarkable family background behind him.

Even if Ye Zexing’s Su family could only be regarded as a collateral branch of the Suyuan Group, it was still an existence that many people couldn’t dare imagine.

Su Xi was the daughter of the Suyuan Group and Su Jingcheng’s biological sister, while Ye Zexing was a member of the Su family’s side branch. With such a connection, then weren’t these two relatives?!

No wonder Ye Zexing was so ‘nice’ to Su Xi, and Su Xi denied the relationship between the two in the forum before. So the answer lies here!

Hue hue, people in school definitely don’t know that Su Xi and Ye Zexing actually have this kind of relationship.

Dong Wenqi thought, sniggering. There was a sudden sense of superiority that everyone was drunk and only she was sober.

But why did Su Xi hang up on her? Could it be that Su Xi didn’t want to talk about this issue and admit her relationship with Ye Zexing in front of outsiders, that’s why she hung up the phone?

But she hasn’t asked yet.

Dong Wenqi held the phone, feeling wronged.

———

Dong Wenqi was completely overthinking—— Su Xi herself didn’t even know that she had such a relationship with that Yellow Hair. She hung up the phone because Su Jingcheng suddenly came.

Just like a student who was caught cheating by the teacher during the exam, when she heard the knock on the door along with Su Jingcheng’s voice, Su Xi hung up the call almost without thinking, stuffed the phone under the quilt, then nestled under the covers and pretended to be asleep.

She forgot to lock the door!

Thinking of this, Su Xi suddenly tensed up.

In the previous days, Su Xi would habitually lock the door behind her, but today, for some reason, she was careless.

Su Xi poked her head out from under the covers and looked nervously to the direction of the door, however, to her surprise, Su Jingcheng didn’t come in. He stood at the door and asked her, “You haven’t slept yet?”

“Mm, I’m going to sleep soon.” Su Xi replied with a guilty conscience.

His younger sister was already a 14-year-old girl. It wasn’t convenient for Su Jingcheng to enter her room, so he could only say from the other side of the door, “It’s getting late. You have to get up early tomorrow so you should sleep now.”

“Also,” Su Jingcheng paused, and after a while, he spoke again, “at your current age, it’s not good to sleep too late.”

Why doesn’t Xixi seem to want to go to bed early?

Su Jingcheng couldn’t help murmuring in his heart.

Last night too, she stayed up late and went down to find something to eat.

It was the same as now. Su Jingcheng came out of the study after dealing with paper works, but when he passed by, he saw the light coming through the crack in the door of Su Xi’s room.

In fact, Su Jingcheng had already stood outside Su Xi’s room for a while.

——Su Jingcheng was torn. On the one hand, he felt that he should show his deterrent power as the older brother and be strict to make her go to bed early, but on the other hand, Su Jingcheng was worried that being too strict would make his sister afraid of him.

It’s really hard for him as an older brother.

“I got it, I’m sleeping.”

Su Xi’s soft voice came from the room, and then Su Jingcheng watched as the lights in the room went out.

“Sleep well, and don’t play with your phone on the bed.”

In the room, Su Xi, who had fished out her mobile phone and was about to log on to WeChat to ask Dong Wenqi what she wanted to say, froze. Does this guy have a camera installed in the room?

“Xixi?”

“I’m already asleep so I can’t hear you anymore.” Su Xi’s words carried a hint of sulking that even she didn’t notice.

Hearing this, Su Jingcheng couldn’t help but chuckle. He shook his head and turned around to leave, not disturbing Su Xi anymore.

———

Su Jingcheng found Uncle Fu.

“Have you prepared Xixi’s clothes for Grandfather’s birthday banquet?” Su Jingcheng asked.

At this, Uncle Fu nodded. “It’s ready.”

They weren’t sure if Su Xi would like to attend Old Sir Su’s birthday banquet, and Su Jingcheng wouldn’t force Su Xi either. However, a group of stylist were still contacted to prepare Su Xi’s clothes for the dinner party if ever.

The young master specifically asking this, does it mean——

“Has Young Master decided to take Xiao Xi to Old Sir Su’s birthday banquet?”

“En.” Su Jingcheng nodded. Thinking of the seriousness on his sister’s face when she said she wanted to go with him earlier, his heart immediately warmed up and a smile appeared on his face.

Uncle Fu also smiled. “That’s good.”

Uncle Fu felt that it wouldn’t be a bad thing for Su Xi to attend Old Sir Su’s birthday banquet together with Su Jingcheng if she wanted to.

Su Xi was the little princess of Suyuan Group and would have to show her face eventually.

Su Jingcheng had been suppressing the news about Su Xi from being released. Firstly, he was afraid that Su Xi would not be willing and be uncomfortable, and secondly, he was protecting Su Xi in his own way.

However, this kind of protection wasn’t a long-term solution, not to mention facing the outside world, Su Xi wouldn’t be able to keep avoiding those relatives.

“Arrange a few more bodyguards to follow Xixi, not only outside the school, but inside as well.” After a moment of silence, Su Jingcheng instructed, “Also, protect all information about Xixi.”

“Don’t worry, Young Master, I’ll arrange it.” Uncle Fu replied seriously.

He knew that the young master wanted to use all methods to protect Su Xi as much as possible. Although the method might be a bit paranoid, Uncle Fu could understand it.

Losing Su Xi at the beginning was too great of a blow to Su Jingcheng. This time when they found her, Uncle Fu could see how happy Su Jingcheng was. Su Jingcheng’s nervousness about Su Xi was clear to the people around him. If he ever loses Su Xi again, Su Jingcheng would really find it hard to bear.

“Young Master, should we have Xiao Xi’s clothes sent over tomorrow? Or should we send Xiao Xi there on Saturday to be styled directly?” Uncle Fu asked, changing the subject.

Su Jingcheng: “Send it over, let Xixi take a look. If there’s anything wrong or she dislike, make the necessary changes.”

Uncle Fu: “Okay.”

The dress Su Xi would be wearing to Old Sir Su’s birthday banquet this time was also the style Su Jingcheng picked out for her.

Uncle Fu was hesitating whether to tell the young master that the flamboyant, heavily princess-style dress he picked might not be to the young miss’s liking.

In the end, Uncle Fu didn’t have the heart to be honest and tell Su Jingcheng.

“In addition, there are several set of suits that the young master ordered before. Will they be sent over tomorrow as well?”

“Yes.” As he spoke, Su Jingcheng suddenly frowned slightly as he thought of something.

Seeing this, Uncle Fu was a little surprised. Was there any problem?

Before Uncle Fu could ask, Su Jingcheng suddenly murmured seriously, “Is my dressing style a bit too old-fashioned?”

Su Jingcheng didn’t say anything about being called ‘Uncle’ by his younger sister’s classmate, but in his heart he was still a little bitter about it.

Uncle Fu: “?”

“This-” Uncle Fu pondered, then said pertinently, “Young Master’s dressing style is indeed too dark. There’s nothing wrong with it when you’re in the company, but in normal times, Young Master can actually dress in a more relaxed and casual manner.”

After all, excluding other factors, Su Jingcheng was only 26 years old this year.

“Then next time when you’re ordering clothes, make something lighter.” Su Jingcheng said, emphasizing one more sentence, “Something suitable for an older brother.”

“Okay, Young Master.” Seeming to have guessed Su Jingcheng’s thoughts, Uncle Fu chuckled inwardly.

———

Sure enough, just as Uncle Fu surmised, when the dress were delivered to Jingyuan the next day, looking at the flamboyant fluffy dress in front of her, Su Xi wanted to suppress it, but look of rejection on her face couldn’t help but show.

“Won’t it be inconvenient to wear this?” Su Xi said as tactfully as possible.

“Is it inconvenient?” Su Jingcheng was slightly stunned. He really hadn’t considered this issue. He just thought that Xixi might like such a dress.

“It’s indeed inconvenient.” Uncle Fu chimed in.

“Why don’t Xiao Xi look at another one?”

Uncle Fu had someone bring out another dress. Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation, so when he asked the shop to design a dress, he specifically made them design two different styles.

The other was a cream dress, which looked simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one would find that every detail of it was very exquisitely designed. The front of the dress was just above the knee, while the back had a slightly longer hemline, which gave the dress a simple and modest look yet playful and cute.

This dress was just right for a girl of Su Xi’s age.

The moment she saw it taken out, Su Xi’s eyes lit up.

“I think this one is good!” Su Xi first said to Uncle Fu, then suddenly remembered that Su Jingcheng was still beside her, so she turned towards Su Jingcheng.

“If Xixi thinks this is good, then go with this.” Su Jingcheng smiled and said without principle.

——This dress would look lovely on his sister.

As he thought of this, Su Jingcheng glanced at the other pink princess dress and a flash of regret appeared in his eyes. In fact, he still thought that one would look better on her. It’s pink and soft, how cute would it be?
