Zhou Lan found it very strange today.
Usually, Wei Xueqing dressed in a sharp, professional style, often in formal suits and skirts with a somewhat neutral touch.
But unexpectedly, today Wei Xueqing astonishingly wore a long dress adorned with light pink butterfly patterns!
Moreover, her hair had been styled into wavy curls, instantly adding a touch of femininity overwhelming enough to make the company’s employees stare in amazement.
They never imagined that the original domineering CEO could have such a charming and gentle side.
More importantly, Zhou Lan noticed that ever since Wei Xueqing entered the office, she spent over an hour fussing over the mirror.
She kept calling Zhou Lan several times, asking if her makeup looked good.
Eventually, Zhou Lan personally redid Wei Xueqing’s makeup to finally get her satisfaction.
Ye Xin looked at the clothes in the wardrobe, sitting on the bed, pondering silently.
Beside her, Sun Yue said, "Fire Phoenix, if you ask me, just wear this Chanel limited edition long dress. It’ll absolutely showcase your elegance and crush Sun Xiaoting without leaving a trace."
However, Ye Xin kept shaking her head, her gaze landing on a pale yellow short skirt.
This skirt was what she wore when she returned and also the outfit she wore when she first met Yang Chen.
Reflecting back on the past scene now, it’s filled with memories.
Ye Xin smiled lightly, stood up, took down the clothes, and whispered, "This one it is!"
Sun Yue didn’t know what Ye Xin was thinking, shrugged without voicing any opinion.
Ye Xin changed clothes, Sun Yue went downstairs to continue working.
As Sun Yue just walked in, the projection video connected.
On the screen appeared an elderly man in a white coat, wearing glasses as thick as beer bottles, his face filled with anxiety.
"Where is Ye Xin?" The Professor glanced at Sun Yue, not seeing Ye Xin, asked anxiously.
Sun Yue frowned watching the Professor and asked, "What’s going on, Professor? Did something happen?"
"Don’t worry about it, first go and get Ye Xin back for me!" the Professor urged impatiently.
Sun Yue felt a bit worried but didn’t ask further, hurriedly going upstairs to find Ye Xin.
Ye Xin had already changed into her clothes by then, a strapless pale yellow short skirt, just a bit above her knees, perfectly showcasing Ye Xin’s long, beautiful legs and her curvy figure.
"Looks good?" Ye Xin asked.
Sun Yue took a good look and nodded her head, admiring, "Beautiful!"
Although Sun Yue was a woman, she was unconsciously attracted by Ye Xin.
A delicate face, a perfect hot body, especially those long legs accentuated by the short skirt, truly... breathtaking!
Ye Xin giggled, said, "I think it’s alright, let’s go with this one!"
Ye Xin bent down in front of the dressing mirror, looking at her lightly made-up face, nodded approvingly.
She didn’t need heavy makeup, just like usual, she didn’t need to dress up intentionally. The heavier the makeup, the less confident one appears.
"Fire Phoenix..." Sun Yue interrupted Ye Xin’s ongoing thoughts.
"What is it?" Ye Xin turned her head, looking confusedly at Sun Yue, sensing there was something off about Sun Yue.
"The Professor is looking for you. Did something happen? The Professor seemed quite anxious," Sun Yue said worriedly.
Ye Xin glanced at Sun Yue, immediately headed down, she was feeling a bit uneasy herself.
Upon arriving in the basement, Ye Xin saw the Professor looking very unsettled and anxious.
"Professor!" Ye Xin looked at the Professor with a heavy expression.
Upon seeing Ye Xin, the Professor furiously said, "Ye Xin, tell me, what exactly happened back in Siam!"
After saying this, the Professor noticed Sun Yue, immediately scolding, "Sun Yue, you go out first!"
Hearing this, Sun Yue looked worriedly at Ye Xin, but she couldn’t defy the Professor’s orders, had to silently exit.
She knew that since the Professor was asking about the happenings in Siam, the matter might be very serious.
Beings like Shangri and Shangxi with such capabilities couldn’t possibly be ordinary, if the forces behind them pursued the matter, it would undoubtedly become very troublesome.
After Sun Yue left, the Professor immediately chastised, "Ye Xin! What are you thinking? Don’t you understand your current physical situation? I asked Shangxi to find you, why didn’t you go with them? Now they’ve sent people to inquire with me, saying Shangxi went out a month ago and never returned! Completely missing, now they want me to give them an explanation!"
Ye Xin frowned upon hearing this, said solemnly, "They should have returned!"
"Returned?" The Professor sneered, "If they had returned, they wouldn’t have come questioning me!"
Ye Xin fell into silence.
"Ye Xin, think clearly, sooner or later, you must return! Your Ye family... forget it, I won’t dwell on it! Immediately find Shangxi for me, if you can’t, I’ll have them come looking for you! You know who they are, not even your grandfather, let alone me, can afford to offend them!"
"I understand!" Ye Xin clenched her fists, so tightly that her knuckles whitened.
What the Professor said afterward, she couldn’t hear anymore.
Her memory drifted back to eighteen years ago...
It was a rare heavy snow that occurs once in many years, particularly in Jin Chen, where such snow was seldom seen.
She remembered the artificial sea’s lake surface frozen into thick ice, topped with layers of snow.
The Tibetan mastiff she raised ran through the snow, eventually plunged into the river to play, only its head visible. It shows just how heavy the snow was.
That day, the artificial sea, where few would come, had two visitors she’d never seen before.
Clad in white, lightly dressed in clothes typical of autumn but looked more ancient in style.
The two had long hair, handsome looks, holding dust whisks, exuding an ethereal and immortal aura.
She remembered clearly that it was her grandfather who respectfully came out to greet them.
In her grandfather’s position, there’s hardly anyone worthy enough for him to greet personally.
Yet, these two seemingly young men made her grandfather behave so courteously.
Typically, when discussing matters, her grandfather wouldn’t let Ye Xin approach.
After all, older generations still bore some patriarchal notions.
But this time was different, her grandfather allowed Ye Xin to stand beside him and converse with the duo.
As for what was discussed, Ye Xin couldn’t quite remember.
She only remembered the two kept smiling at her.
The only deeply ingrained memory was one of them with a mole at the end of his eyebrow telling her not to be troubled by worldly ties.
Afterwards, her grandfather told her that she would leave the Ye family and travel far away, and in the future, the Ye family would rely on her to continue.
At that time, Ye Xin didn’t understand what those words meant.
Only after the two left did her grandfather’s attitude towards her change significantly, becoming meticulous and exceptionally caring.
Therefore, Ye Xin was truly the princess of the artificial sea. Anyone currently in a high position couldn’t have avoided being hit by Ye Xin.
However, now Ye Xin understood everything, but her mood grew even heavier.
