In the underground parking lot.
Seeing Ye Cangtian staring at her blankly, Xibeiya chuckled, then tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Am I beautiful?"
"Cough, it's just the first time I've seen you dressed like this!" Ye Cangtian coughed, not directly answering her question.
Was Xibeiya beautiful? There was no doubt about it!
In terms of looks, she was as beautiful as a celestial being, with a pair of blue eyes and unmatched beauty.
In terms of temperament, she had royal blood and an innate noble aura.
"If I give up my princess identity and become an ordinary person, would you accept me?" Xibeiya suddenly asked softly.
"..."
Ye Cangtian rolled his eyes. Here we go again!
Of course, he had considered this question before. If it were before coming to China, he might have ended up with her.
But after arriving in China, especially with Tang Xinwan as his fiancée, the matter became complicated.
Therefore, her question gave him a headache!
"Look at how nervous you are, I'm just joking. As a dignified royal princess, how could I give up my identity so easily?"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Xibeiya's eyes, but she pretended to be joking.
She tossed a car key to Ye Cangtian and said with a smile, "Let's go, you drive!"
Next to them, a limited edition sky-blue Lamborghini was parked.
Ye Cangtian took the key. Seeing Xibeiya already seated in the passenger seat, he opened the car door and got in.
"Where are we going?"
"The first stop is shopping. We agreed you'd accompany me, and you're not allowed to leave before four o'clock!"
Alright!
Ye Cangtian was helpless. Soon, he drove the top supercar out of the underground parking lot.
...
In another five-star hotel room.
The old butler bowed and asked, "Young Master, the major businessmen are ready to return to Suhang. They are asking when the Young Master will return!"
The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce's target in Yangzhou this time was to cooperate with the Saudi royal family.
However, they were met with a cold shoulder. The Saudi royal family completely ignored them. Since the cooperation was out of the question, these businessmen naturally wouldn't stay there any longer.
In the room.
Mu Wenbin's face was gloomy. He had lost face this time.
Not only did he fail to reach a cooperation with the Saudi royal family, but he also lost face in front of the major businessmen. This left him feeling suffocated and extremely uncomfortable!
"Tell them to go back first!"
"Young Master, what about us?"
The old butler was worried. He hesitated and then advised, "When the Young Master left, Master reminded him not to provoke that man surnamed Ye. I heard that a few days ago, Tao Wenyu from the Tao family..."
The events that happened at the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce a few days ago had already spread like wildfire.
The Mu family, as the foremost top family in Jiangnan, had naturally received the news.
However, Mu Wenbin sneered, "Others may not know the situation, but does our Mu family not know? That incident was the Dragon Team ambushing the Dark Association. What does that have to do with Ye Cangtian!"
Hearing this, the old butler knew his young master was not convinced and wanted to persuade him.
However, Mu Wenbin waved his hand, "Don't worry. He is a member of the Dragon Team after all. I'm not foolish enough to go against the entire Dragon Team. By the way, my eldest brother seems to be returning soon, right?"
"The eldest young master called home two days ago. He said he was going to take a leave of absence soon and would be back any day now!"
"That's good!"
Mu Wenbin's eyes lit up.
The reason he had the confidence, besides the deep foundation of his Mu family, was that his Mu family had people in the Dragon Team, and even in the more mysterious Hidden Team.
And his eldest brother held a high position in the Dragon Team, being the captain of the second squadron!
As long as his elder brother returned, with the same identity as a Dragon Team member, and even as a squadron captain, it would be no problem to teach Ye Cangtian a lesson!
Seeing his young master beaming, the old butler couldn't help but sigh.
He knew his young master's temper. No matter how much he persuaded, it would be useless!
...
In the mall!
Xibeiya shopped with great joy, like any ordinary girl.
She didn't buy anything, just looked around casually. Occasionally, she would try on a few clothes, but she was still delighted, showing no sign of being a haughty princess.
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but sigh that even with a princess's status, she was no different from other girls.
However, being born into royalty, one's identity determined their life. While they appeared to be high and mighty, they lost the freedom of ordinary people.
It was like that fellow Satchi. Although he was the heir to the throne, he preferred the free and easy life of ordinary people.
At this moment, the two were in a clothing store. Xibeiya was holding a very beautiful dress, clearly smitten with it.
The sales assistant beside her smiled and said, "This lady is so beautiful. This dress just arrived and is very suitable for your figure and temperament!"
One had to admit that Xibeiya's temperament and beauty were outstanding, making even the sales assistant a little envious.
Especially her pair of blue eyes, which made it easy to guess that she might be of mixed heritage!
Xibeiya reluctantly put down the dress and shook her head slightly.
Ye Cangtian found it a bit strange and couldn't help but ask, "The dress really suits you, why aren't you buying it?"
They had been browsing for an hour or two, and Xibeiya had liked some things during that time, but she hadn't bought anything in the end.
He could tell that Xibeiya really liked this dress, so he couldn't help but ask.
Xibeiya shook her head, "My status is not suitable for wearing these. Even if I buy it, I might not have a chance to wear it!"
After all, she was a princess, and being in the royal family, she sometimes couldn't dress too casually.
Ye Cangtian smiled, "I think sometimes you don't need to care too much about what others think. If you like it, wear whatever you want!"
Xibeiya was taken aback and hesitated.
The sales assistant beside them also chimed in, "Miss, your boyfriend is right. Girls should be good to themselves. Wear whatever you want. Girls are born to be beautiful!"
"Really?"
Xibeiya's smile brightened. She was happy, not for any other reason, but because they thought she and Ye Cangtian were a couple.
Ye Cangtian felt a bit awkward, but it wasn't the time to correct their relationship. He just coughed dryly.
"If you like it, buy it!"
"Mmm, but I don't have money!" Xibeiya looked at him with shining eyes.
As a princess, it was normal for her not to carry cash, especially in China.
Ye Cangtian didn't mind. He took out a card and handed it to the sales assistant, "Use mine. I'll buy this one!"
Soon, the payment was successful.
The sales assistant handed the packaged dress to Ye Cangtian and said to them, "Welcome back, and we wish you both eternal love!"
Ye Cangtian felt incredibly awkward and left the fashion store with Xibeiya.
Xibeiya, however, directly linked her arm with his, her happy smile revealing a pair of crescent-shaped dimples. Clearly, the sales assistant's well wishes had made her feel very happy.
Looking at her affectionately linking his arm, Ye Cangtian felt a little helpless.
But seeing her happy face, he couldn't pull his arm away. He could only pray that their intimate actions wouldn't be seen by any acquaintances!
However, what one fears often happens!
Just as they rounded a corner, a familiar figure walked towards them.
It was a beautiful woman with long hair cascading down her shoulders. Seeing the intimate pair, she stopped in her tracks, looking somewhat surprised, "Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye?"
Seeing her, Ye Cangtian felt utterly miserable. How could he have run into her?
