Chapter 53: Saving His Life
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the Ye family…
When Ye Xiyuan returned home, she saw her parents and brother sitting in the living room. A young man sat opposite them.
The man was about 25 or 26 years old. He had fair skin, and his fitting suit revealed his perfect figure. His flaxen hair was stunningly beautiful. He had a chiseled face, looking indifferently handsome. Under his drooping long eyelashes, his deep eyes sparkled like black crystals. His tall nose and his beautiful lips showed off his nobility and elegance, but his handsomeness was one of a kind!
Just by sitting there, the man gave off a noble feeling. Even if he was deliberately restraining himself, it was still stressful.
Ye Li, Lin Wanqin, and Ye Anyun had the same feeling. They felt as if the person in front of them was a high and mighty emperor, and they could only bow down to him.
“Dad, Mom, Brother, I’m back.” As usual, Ye Xiyuan greeted her family members first before glancing at the man as if she was just aware of his presence. There was a flicker of surprise on her face. “Why did you come to my house?”
“Xiyuan, Young Master Nangong came here today for you.” Ye Li was the first to speak and looked at Ye Xiyuan dotingly. “Young Master Nangong said that you saved his life before, and he specially came to thank you today.”
He was already quite satisfied with his daughter, Ye Xiyuan. After today, he would really take his daughter to heart.
The Nangong family was one of the four top families in the capital. Even if the Ye family was 10 times or 100 times stronger than it was now, it might not be able to get close to the Nangong family. In the capital, there were many people who wanted to get close to the four great families. The Ye family did not even need to think about the possibility. They were completely unqualified.
However, the young master of the Nangong family was sitting opposite him. How could he not be surprised?
When Young Master Nangong came to visit him today, he was still confused. But after knowing the purpose of his visit, Ye Li became delirious with joy. At the same time, he felt lucky to have his biological daughter back. Otherwise, it was not his place to be onto such a good thing today.
“Young Master Nangong?” Ye Xiyuan looked at the man and then gave him a gentle smile. “So it’s you! Actually, you didn’t have to come here specially and you also don’t have to take the previous matter to heart. It was just a piece of cake.”
Seeing Ye Xiyuan’s expression, the man, Nangong Xuyao, said with a smile, “It might be a small matter to you, but to me, it’s a life-saving grace.”
Previously, he was ambushed and assassinated because of the betrayal of the people around him. Even he himself felt that he would not be able to escape this calamity, but in the end, he was saved. What shocked him the most was that even the wound on his chest had healed. After some investigation, he found out that the person who saved him was the daughter of the Ye family, Ye Xiyuan.
“You’re really too polite.” Ye Xiyuan also sat down without any restraint. She looked at Nangong Xuyao as if he was just an ordinary person. “Actually, anyone would do something to help when they encountered something like that. So, there’s really no need for you to come all the way here to thank me.”
A glimmer of interest flashed across Nangong Xuyao’s eyes. He did not expect her to be so calm after knowing his identity. Before he came, he had planned to give some benefits to thank her. However, after seeing his savior, he changed his mind.
“Anyway, I still have to thank you for saving my life.” Nangong Xuyao looked at Ye Xiyuan with a seductive smile on his face. “I wonder if Miss Ye is willing to give me this chance to repay you!”
Ye Xiyuan looked helpless. “Young Master Nangong, you…”
For a moment, she did not know what to say.
“Young Master Nangong, Xiyuan is this sort of person.” Ye Li quickly said, “She always likes to help others. She’s a good child. Therefore, you don’t have to care too much about it.”
Naturally, he wanted to get some benefits from the Nangong family. After all, as long as there were some benefits slipping through the Nangong family’s fingers, it would be enough for the entire Ye family to soar. However, he also knew how to play the long game. Between a one-time benefit and being able to get close to the Nangong family, he naturally would choose the latter.
Nangong Xuyao looked at Ye Li with disdain.
Although Ye Li tried his best to hide it, Nangong Xuyao could still see the greed in Ye Li’s eyes, so he naturally knew what Ye Li was planning.
However, he didn’t vent his anger on Ye Xiyuan because of his dislike for Ye Li. Instead, he felt that Ye Xiyuan looked much more innocent. She really didn’t care about saving his life at all and was not all talk..
