The limousine went inside the Ge Family's territory. The mansion was one of the largest mansions in the capital city and it was decorated extravagantly with a flower garden, large sculptures here and there, and three large fountains.
Xue Lin blinked. Luxury cannot buy her and she cannot be impressed by such things as she saw the real luxury in Europe. She almost felt disgusted by the way the mansion was decorated.
She couldn't help but ask, "Whose brain is so cracked that they decorated this place like this? Even a terror castle would be decorated better than this."
Seeing that Ge Chen didn't reply, the chauffeur coughed awkwardly and answered, "Madam Ge has designed everything by herself."
Recalling her first meeting with the Ge Family, Xue Lin muttered, "I didn't have a high expectation of them but I didn't think it would be this crazy." She got bored looking outside. Therefore, she leaned back to the seat and closed her eyes.
Ge Chen commented, "It was a wonderful place when my mother was alive." His eyes narrowed slightly as he thought about his past. This place is very nostalgic to him.
Xue Lin glanced at him. She felt sad though she never met his mother. For some reason, she felt like that person was very beautiful. She didn't want to show any affection for her newly wedded husband but her left hand automatically reached out and patted his right thigh. After patting four times, she frowned and moved her hand away.
Ge Chen was surprised when he was touched by her. He looked at her and saw her frown. He realized that she was desperately trying to hide her awkwardness. The moment he realized it; his heart was warm. He didn't feel her skin directly, the sensation made his right leg numb. He felt his heart was racing hard. His eyes narrowed dangerously and it was visible but his expression held a smile.
The car was unexceptionally quiet. However, it wasn't awkward.
As the Ge Family is the most powerful family after the Li Family, no matter how bizarre the mansion looked, no one dared to say anything. However, a middle school girl spoke in such a manner, the chauffeur couldn't help but look at her through the rearview mirror.
This middle school girl was around 5'2". She had a petite body. Her skin color was like white jade and anyone would think that she had no blood inside of her body. Her brown hair touched her waist. The hair was silk. Her lips were thick and as red as a red rose. Anyone would think that all her blood gathered around her lips. It was unfair. However, the rosy red lips gave her face an extra charm. The thing which was more attractive in her whole appearance was her pair of grey eyes. They looked pure and bold.
'Just like the first young master.' The chauffeur thought. Ge Chen hadn't introduced her to him. So, the chauffeur became more curious. But he couldn't ask It would be very unprofessional of him if he did.
They reached the mansion in no time. The car was stopped in front of the entrance. The Head Butler Si Ming was waiting for the legitimate heir. As soon as Ge Chen touched the ground, Si Ming walked closer and bowed deeply. "Welcome back, young master. I hope you had a pleasant jour-"
His words seemed stuck in his throat when he saw that his young master opened the door for a middle school girl. He looked at the pair dumbfoundedly. He had no clue what was going on.
'Young master brought a girl! Is that why he is here? B-but this girl is too young to be the young master's wife!!' As he thought that, Si Ming's legs started to shake.
Ge Chen reached out his hand and Xue Lin hesitantly took it. She knew that from this point on, they had to support and guard each other's back. Ge Chen looked down at her calmly and gave her small hand a soft squeeze. He smiled and muttered in a low tone, "Let's go."
Xue Lin nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready."
Only then Ge Chen's eyes landed on the trembling Head Butler. He said, "Uncle Ming, It's not the way you think it is."
"Y-yes!" Si Ming said. He looked at Xue Lin and bowed. "Welcome to the Ge Family's main house, miss-"
Xue Lin saw that Ge Chen was talking to this guy politely. She carefully observed him and found no malice in his action and emotions. Thus, she also decided to talk politely. She slightly bowed and said stiffly, "Xue Lin. You can call me Lin. I'll be in your care, uncle Ming."
Uncle Ming!
The phrase hit Si Ming in his heart. He suddenly started to think, 'This girl is just too cute!'
"It's my pleasure." Si Ming couldn't contain his smile and welcomed them inside. "Master and mistress are in the living room. Please come."
As they walked towards the living room, the man climbed down the stairs. "Oh, look who it is. Isn't this the beggar?"
Ge Chen and Xue Lin halted. The moment she saw his face, her expression turned sour.
The owner of the unpleasant voice was none other than Ge Junjie.
