Chapter 54: Ye Li’s Excitement
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the following time, Nangong Xuyao didn’t have much interaction with Ye Li, and his attention was mostly on Ye Xiyuan.
The more they talked, the more favorable his impression of Ye Xiyuan became. He investigated Ye Xiyuan before he came to the Ye family and had thought that growing up in such a family would make her more or less petty. However, he didn’t see small-mindedness in Ye Xiyuan at all. On the other hand, she was gentle, magnanimous, and knowledgeable, a real lady nurtured by a big family. However, she was not arrogant like the other rich ladies, and it was easy to get along with her.
Because Ye Xiyuan was strongly against accepting Nangong Xuyao’s gift, Nangong Xuyao didn’t push it. In the end, he invited Ye Xiyuan to have a meal with him in two days. This time, Ye Xiyuan did not reject him.
After Nangong Xuyao left, Ye Li and the others all heaved a sigh of relief. Although Nangong Xuyao said that he was here to repay Ye Xiyuan the favor of saving his life, he had such a powerful presence. Even if he just sat there, it was still stressful.
Ye Li couldn’t wait to ask, “Xiyuan, what exactly happened? How did you save
Young Master Nangong?”
Until now, he felt like he was dreaming. The Nangong family was a family that they could never reach. They couldn’t even afford to offend a steward of that family. But today, Young Master Nangong came to his house as a guest.
As long as this news got out, countless companies would rush to the Ye family tomorrow asking for cooperation. How could he not be excited?
“It’s just a coincidence.” Ye Xiyuan smiled faintly. There wasn’t much change in her countenance, as if she was stating a very ordinary matter. “If he hadn’t come to our house today, I might have forgotten about this matter.”
“Xiyuan! You’re really my good daughter!” Ye Li couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“I’m so proud of you.”
Now, he really couldn’t help but feel lucky that he had found his daughter. When he first saw Ye Xiyuan, he was already very satisfied. Even though she grew up in that kind of environment, she was still so outstanding. No wonder she was his biological daughter with his blood flowing in her veins.
Ye Xiyuan’s performance during this period of time also made him think even more highly of her. Compared to Ye Lengan’s good-for-nothing, Ye Xiyuan was much more outstanding.
However, he did not expect his daughter to give him such a big surprise. She saved the young master of the Nangong family by chance. This was simply a great opportunity for the Ye family.
“Dad! I really don’t want anything in return.” Ye Xiyuan looked helpless. “When I saved him back then, I didn’t know who he was and didn’t think about what I wanted from him either. I just didn’t want to see a life disappear before my eyes.”
“Good child, don’t be anxious. Dad didn’t say anything!” Ye Li shook his head with a smile. “Oh, Young Master Nangong invites you out for a meal in two days. You have to perform well, understand?”
Although he knew that Ye Xiyuan was very methodical in her actions, he still couldn’t help but want to remind her. Young Master Nangong did seem to have a good impression of her, but he was unfathomable and his temper was unpredictable since he was from an aristocratic family. It was very likely that he would be smiling one second, but the next he would turn against a friend and become hostile.
It was indeed a good thing to be able to get close to the Nangong family, but if they were not careful, they might be doomed forever.
“Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!” Ye Xiyuan pouted and said, “We’re friends, so we should treat each other with a simple state of mind. I may push him further away if I blindly fawn over him.”
Ye Li didn’t say anything else when he saw Ye Xiyuan’s resolute manner.
“Alright, Hubby, that’s enough.” Lin Wanqin pulled Ye Li’s hand and said with a smile. “Xiyuan is not a child anymore. She knows how to make friends. Besides, I think that Young Master Nangong was very nice to Xiyuan. He probably treated Xiyuan as a friend. It’s better not to make it complicated between friends.
She was a woman, so she was more sensitive when dealing with these problems. The reason why Young Master Nangong had a good impression of Xiyuan was because Xiyuan treated him level-headedly. Otherwise, even if she had saved his life, he wouldn’t have treated her so well.
Ye Anyun looked at Ye Xiyuan and suddenly said, “Xiyuan, do you like Young Master Nangong? I think he is well-disposed toward you. If this continues, there is a strong possibility that you two will have a relationship.”
He was a man, so he could tell that Nangong Xuyao was interested in his sister.
“Brother, you are talking nonsense!” Ye Xiyuan’s eyes widened as if she had heard something ridiculous. “We’re just friends.. It’s not like what you said! ‘
