After saving Yao Mei’s life and leaving the room surrounded by security guards without anyone noticing anything strange, Xie Feng and Mu Wuying returned to the main hall where the birthday party was being held.
The guests had all arrived and were currently chatting with each other. Handsome young masters were trying to woo young ladies from noble families. Beautiful women abounded and the fine clothes they wore, the seductive dresses and jewelry that amplified their beauties even more, had caused all the men in the place to feel uneasy.
Naturally, there were some people who received more attention than others.
A beautiful young woman of about 18 years old wearing a silver-colored dress with a blue rose adorning her black hair that was neatly held back by a jade hairpin was currently surrounded by a small group of young men.
This girl’s body was not so curvy as the body of Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, or Shen Xinya… let alone could not compare to fully grown women like Mu Wuying and Yin Yue. However, the young woman’s face was beautiful enough to be considered a college flower.
This young woman’s name was Yang Li’er.
Yang Li’er, currently ranked sixth in China’s ranking of beautiful women, so one could imagine how beautiful she was. Although it was definitely possible that more beautiful women did not play Samsara Online and were not found in the ranking, this ranking table was very accurate as there were no human emotions involved that could alter the results.
However, Yang Li’er was not only a beautiful young woman that anyone could lust after. She was Yang Tian’s cousin, and an important member of the Yang Family. Perhaps, in China there were many Yang families, but in Beijing, there was only one family that had the ability to protect a woman as beautiful as Yang Li’er. Naturally, it was the Yang Family, one of the five most powerful families in all of China.
At this moment, Yang Li’er was trying to escape from a rather uncomfortable situation. Since she was young, she never cared much for anyone as she could have anything she wanted easily and men were always trying to sneak under her skirt. Therefore, even though there were several handsome and status young men currently courting her and fighting for her favor, she didn’t want to do anything but get out of here.
“Hey, you brats. Take yourselves somewhere else. Stop being an abomination.”
A loud, dominance-laden voice startled the young men. They bristled in anger. With their family conditions, who was so bold as to oppose so many of them at the same time? Was this guy courting death?
However, this voice was like salvation for Yang Li’er.
“Elder cousin!”
She hurriedly seized the opportunity and escaped from the encirclement of young masters and rushed forward towards the person who had arrived.
Eh? Just now, what did Yang Li’er say? Elder cousin? But, wasn’t her cousin…
As if they had thought of something, these several young men turned around and when they looked up, their faces turned pale.
Yang Tian!
Yang Tian was well known to have an even more explosive temperament than the fire-controlling members of the Yao Family who were bound to sudden fiery feelings and emotions. Who didn’t know that Yang Tian once savagely beat up more than twenty young masters who tried to make a pass at Yang Li’er? He was extremely protective of her and treated her like a little sister! Since then, Yang Tian secretly received the nickname Mad Yang!
They cursed in their minds and hurriedly retreated. They did not even dare to give Yang Li’er a second glance for fear of provoking Mad Yang’s wrath.
“Hmph…” Yang Tian snorted and looked at his cousin, “I say girl, wouldn’t it be better for you to stay at home and never leave?”
Yang Li’er, who was about to thank him, rolled her eyes. “For god’s sake, I’m already a grown woman!”
“Grown woman?” Yang Tian blinked. “What are you talking about? You’re only 18. Besides, if Aunt Yang Nian finds out you were flirting with those brats, she’ll lock you up for sure.”
“What do you mean by that.” Yang Li’er growled and pouted. “At 18 I’m already considered an adult! Besides, I wasn’t flirting with anyone.”
“No, but you-” Yang Tian was about to say something, but a somewhat mocking voice stopped him.
“It seems that the rumors are true…. Mad Yang gets packed in fury when someone gets close to his little cousin.”
Yang Tian’s voice stalled and Yang Li’er was surprised. Who had the courage to speak to her older cousin like that? She didn’t recognize that male voice, so it couldn’t be from a prominent Beijing family, let alone one of the leading families.
She looked back and saw the most handsome man she had seen all night and to whom few men in the whole world could compare. However, what surprised Yang Li’er the most was that this young man of 20 was actually surrounded by beauties…. And she recognized two of them!
“Qianxue? Big sister Mu?” Yang Li’er exclaimed.
“Long time no see, little Li’er…. Oh no, you’re all grown up now.” Mu Wuying laughed sweetly and her eyes shone with a mocking sparkle, provoking a pout from Yang Li’er.
“Hey!” She exclaimed in annoyance.
Gu Qianxue’s white shoulders quivered and she began to laugh softly as she waved back at Yang Li’er. She and Yang Li’er were very good friends when they were young, but due to their studies, it had been a while since they last met.
Yang Tian finally turned around and there he saw Xie Feng standing there, looking at him with a smile.
“I don’t want to hear that from you, man with a younger sister complex.” Yang Tian grunted and waved his hand.
“And very proud.” Xie Feng nodded and didn’t negotiate it. The smile on his face didn’t even waver.
“You… What a shameless fellow.” Yang Tian was speechless at Xie Feng’s shamelessness. He seemed to think of something and pointed his finger at the women next to Xie Feng as he said, “And this? Are you showing that you’re a playboy or something?”
Xie Feng looked at both sides. Mu Wuying, Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Yin Yue who had joined in the fun, were next to him. Of the four beauties, two of them were his women and one of them had a past with him as well as an important weight in his heart.
“Oh well… What can I say other than I’m irresistible.” Xie Feng casually shrugged his shoulders, earning the rolling eyes of all the women present.
He really did have skin as thick as the Chinese wall!
Yang Li’er looked at the young man in front of her curiously. What surprised her was that she knew well how arrogant and proud Mu Wuying and Gu Qianxue were, but they both seemed to feel very comfortable next to this young man. In addition, there were two other first-rate beauties beside him, increasing her surprise even more.
Who was this person? Yang Li’er was very clear that although the young man in front of her was extremely handsome, it was impossible that his appearance alone was enough to attract such women. Status, power? Yang Li’er didn’t even think about it. Considering the status and power that Mu Wuying and Gu Qianxue had, it was impossible for them to be attracted to something like that. This meant that this young man had something that attracted women naturally, like a magnet.
Xie Feng looked at Yang Li’er and with a smile introduced himself, “Nice to meet you…. I guess that’s not quite right. Although you don’t know me, I’ve met you in the past.”
Yang Li’er blinked, surprised. “You know me? How did I not know then?”
“Mmm…” Xie Feng thought for a moment before explaining as simply as possible. “About a year and a half ago I visited your Yang family home to… negotiate some stuff. During that time you were in the office of your Uncle Yang, the current patriarch of the family, but for the first time in your entire life, your uncle hurriedly kicked you out. I don’t know if you remember?”
Yang Li’er was surprised. She finally remembered something strange that had happened a little over a year ago. Her uncle Yang Jie, the current leader of the Yang Family, was always very affectionate to her and pampered her whenever possible. But that one time, her uncle quickly expelled her without explanation and when she tried to throw tantrums, she was reprimanded for the first time in her life.
Seeing Yang Li’er’s reaction, Xie Feng guessed that she had finally remembered, so he continued: “It seems that you do remember. Well, the cause of that was me. Although your power over the earth is quite good for your age, it is naturally impossible for you to notice me. But even though you didn’t know about me, I did know about you.”
Yang Li’er didn’t know what to say. Feeling angry? Back then she was angry, but after so long she had already calmed down. Therefore, she just stared at Xie Feng and asked, “So, what’s your name? It’s not fair that you know who I am, but I don’t know who you are, don’t you think?”
“Indeed… My name is Xie Feng and this beauty next to me is my younger sister Xie Yao.” Xie Feng introduced themselves. “As for family… Perhaps it will be easier for you if I tell you that she and I are currently the owners of Magnificent Sky Corp.”
“Ah!” Yang Li’er suddenly cried out and her face turned slightly pale as if she had seen the devil in person.
