Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was no wonder that Hong Dali didn’t dare to believe.

Who would have thought that a little beggar that he picked up at the roadside was not only a gaming expert but also a fairylike character? Was his luck with the ladies really so incredible?

But regardless of all that, now that he had already taken her in, it wasn’t easy to make him return her.

Hong Dali sniffled and said, “OK, frankly speaking, this small lass is really quite pretty. She’s at least about the same standard as my Xinxin and Sister Nianwei. Yup, that’s right.”

Hong Dali walked out and boarded the car. Previously, because Lin Zixuan was too dirty, Quentin was unwilling to get close to her. But now, Quentin actually struggled to get close to her. Hong Dali was so angry that he jumped and said, “You little rascal, you chose looks over friendship!”

Tang Muxin humphed and said, “What are you talking about, Quentin is a female. Wasn’t you the one who told me that...”

Now that everything had been settled, and Hong Dali had also played for quite a while, seeing that the sky was getting dark, he immediately sent Tang Muxin home. Then, the car turned around and returned to Hongwu Villa.

After Tang Muxin left, Lin Zixuan obviously felt a bit awkward and subconsciously moved further away from Hong Dali. But being a young girl of only 14 years old, she couldn’t contain her curiosity and looked all over the Soaring Angel on the way home. Her face was red from holding in her questions, obviously showing that she had a lot of queries but couldn’t bring herself to ask them.

Seeing her like this, Hong Dali secretly thought, Looks like her family background isn’t as good as I thought it was. At the most, it can only be considered an average wealthy family, but not yet to the standard of an aristocratic family.

Actually, this was because his level was too high. After all, in Tianjing City, there were only a few families on par with the Hong Family—one could count them with one hand. As for the other wealthy families, they were obviously not up to the standard of the Hong Family.

“Big Brother, you, are you bringing me back to your house?” The atmosphere in the car was quite cold now. Lin Zixuan thought for a while, gathered her courage and asked, “Then, where is it at?” After half a day spent together, Hong Dali didn’t show any signs that he was a pervert, so the small lass was more at ease than before. Another thing was that someone who could afford to sit in such a luxury car and also let his lackeys sit in luxury cars wasn’t someone that she could fight back at, even if Hong Dali really wanted to do something to her. Therefore, she could only resign to her fate and try to warm up the atmosphere between them. At the very least, he treated her quite well today—the small lass had a natural liking towards all those that supported her gaming.

“Where else could we be going if not home?” Towards Lin Zixuan’s beauty, other than the initial surprise, Hong Dali actually didn’t feel anything special—anyone who spent his days with beauties such as Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei would naturally have a super high resistance to beauties. Therefore, in his eyes, this small lass who was a genius in gaming was even less interesting than Quentin, who he was hugging. “I couldn’t just let you sleep on the streets, right? Don’t worry, my house is very big, it isn’t a problem finding a place for you to sleep.”

“OK...” Seeing that Hong Dali wasn’t like those other young masters who stared at her face intensely, Lin Zixuan finally felt relieved. Therefore, she had an even better impression of Hong Dali now. Of course, she also felt a higher sense of security. She could see that Hong Dali wasn’t a big pervert. Therefore, the small lass’ words gradually increased. “Then, where is your house at, Big Brother?”

Hong Dali looked outside the window and casually said, “Do you see that small mountain over there? Follow this road all the way, and we will arrive at a place that seems to be a forest. That’s my home.” action

“That mountain?” Lin Zixuan slightly pondered and very quickly realized where this place was. At the same time, she finally knew who the person in front of her was. “Hongwu Mountain? Hongwu Villa? You are that legendary superprodigal, Hong Dali!?”

For the first time, this gaming genius showed her astonished expression in front of Hong Dali. A rare type of sensation flowed in her—it was like a believer on a pilgrimage, devout, and a bit of sincere respect and nervousness.

The Hongwu Villa’s Hong Weigo, that was the idol of the upper-class people in Tianjing City. He was a legend in the business industry. All those who had a bit of fame would all point their thumbs up when they heard people mention the Hong Family.

The small lass background wasn’t bad. Therefore, she naturally understood how influential the Hong Family was.

“I remember that my Dad came home one day and behaved as if he had won a million yuan. When I asked him the reason, he said it was because he saw a few of Sangle Enterprise’s high executives. Those people are already considered legends.” Lin Zixuan smiled and said, at the same feeling quite proud of herself.

To think that a small lass like her could actually sit in the car of Hong Dali, the only Young Master of the Hong Family. She could only be surprised at how amazing destiny was. After all, she was just a 14-year-old girl, she had a bit of vanity too.

“Maybe.” Hong Dali sniffled and continued to tease the cub in his arms. “I see them most of the time, anyway. So, my impression might not be that large. Maybe to you that will be a difficult chance.”

“That’s true.” Lin Zixuan agreed. “If you see them every day, naturally you wouldn’t feel surprised.” As she spoke, she looked out of the window. By now, the Soaring Angel had already driven into the path where both sides were planted with ginkgoes. The deeper they went in, the more unusual Lin Zixuan felt about the place.

She wasn’t someone who had never seem what the upper-class was like. After all, her family conditions were not bad too.

But this was the first time she saw a family occupying a few mountains. In ancient times, these kinds of people were all nobilities. Everyone lived on the same planet. She originally thought that her family conditions were still not bad, but once she compared Hong Dali’s family and her own, she felt that her pride was a bit hurt.

When she saw the two three-meter tall red jade lion statues at the foot of the mountain, Lin Zixuan could only openly express her admiration.

In the end, Lin Zixuan could only mumble one sentence.

“Our Heavenly State really have mighty people hiding everywhere.”

By rights, if it were some other girl that could connect with some young fellow like Hong Dali who was practically a mountain of gold, what they would be thinking about was probably how to get married to him and such. But as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The current Lin Zixuan was thinking that with Hong Dali as her backing, her parents wouldn’t dare to force her to study the whole day and not let her play online games anymore...

The awesome person living in the villa ahead could be considered to be her father’s boss’ boss’ boss—if she really counted to the end, there would probably be ten plus layers of relationships in between.

She said to herself that, this time, if anyone still dared to look down on her for playing online games, she could stick out her still very flat chest and proudly say that it was Brother Dali who supported her gaming, an ordinary person wouldn’t even have the chance to have the same treatment!

Just as she thought of this, the gate that the two red jade lion statues were guarding gradually opened, and the four cars drove in.

When they really entered the Hong Family’s villa, Lin Zixuan then realized how low her level of vision was in the past.

A group of people stood outside the main mansion, respectfully standing in two rows. There were both men and women, young and old, totaling 40 plus. The one standing in front was an old grandfather wearing a black Chinese tunic suit. He wasn’t very tall, his body shape was slim—the most healthy type for his age—and he stood with his back straight like a pole. One look at him and people would be able to tell that he came from Heavenly State’s best family of butlers. Just the butler alone would cost at least 0.3 to 0.5 million a year.

The convoy gradually slowed down to a stop, and Hong Dali brought Lin Zixuan down with him. The butler hurriedly walked up, and his originally eerie face finally smiled. He half bowed towards Hong Dali and said, “Young Master Dali, you have finally returned. Master and Madam were already getting anxious from waiting for you. They have some matters to tell you.”

“My Dad and Mum want to talk to me?” Hong Dali sniffled, grabbed Lin Zixuan’s small hand and ran. When he reached the entrance, he didn’t care that the high-quality wooden door cost several hundred thousands and kicked it. Then, he yelled, “Dad, Mum, I’m back!”

“Oh my, my house’s little prodigal has finally returned.” Lan Ruoxi hurriedly walked out from the room. Once she saw Hong Dali, she immediately walked up and grabbed his hand. “Look at you, you played until your hands have gone cold. These two nights the weather is getting cold, and you didn’t put on a few more clothes.”

After she grabbed and pressed Hong Dali into the sofa, she then looked at Lin Zixuan who was standing at the side. “This child is...”

“A small beggar I picked up from the roadside.” Hong Dali naturally didn’t care if she were fairylike or not, the first impression was all that mattered. He directly picked up a can of beverage and took a long mouthful before saying, “Her name is Lin Zixuan. I think that it would be not bad for her to be my Sister, so I brought her back.”

“Tsk tsk tsk.” Lan Ruoxi was overjoyed. She walked round Lan Ruoxi and looked from up to down and front to back. Lin Zixuan was very beautiful in the first place, not losing to Tang Muxin at all. Now that she was a bit afraid, her tiny face looked really pitiful, her fingers intertwined, her face red and lowered—she looked just like a frightened rabbit. The more Lan Ruoxi looked at her, the Lan Ruoxi liked her. After a while of looking, she shouted, “Husband! Quick, come out! Look what Dali brought home for us!”

“I’m coming, I’m coming. What is it that you are putting up a fuss for.” Hong Weiguo held a tobacco pipe and slowly walked out from a room. Upon seeing Lin Zixuan standing there, his eyes also lit-up and asked in surprise, “Yo, what a beautiful little lady. Dali brought her home?”

“That’s right.” Lan Ruoxi’s laughed until her wrinkles showed. “Our little prodigal’s eyesight and luck are really amazing. Look at this little lady, see how beautiful she is. This skin—yup, white and delicate. This small nose and mouth and not small eyes, and she even have double eyelids. Her hair is also black and shiny, this is really good, haha.”

Her long-windedness caused Lin Zixuan to become even shyer.

And this wasn’t the end, Hong Weiguo also praised her. “Yup, she is a piece of good material. Our Dali’s eyesight is really excellent.” Saying so, he turned and looked at Hong Dali. “Dali, where did you find this small lass?”

“I picked her up from the roadside.” Hong Dali held up the cub in his arms, shocking Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi. Lan Ruoxi anxiously said, “Oh my little ancestor, you really dare to touch anything. I was wondering where you got this tiger-like cat, but I see now that this is a real tiger, isn’t it? Quick, pass it to me, aren’t you afraid that it will bite you.”

“It would never bite me.” Hong Dali said towards Quentin. “Come, Quentin, kiss me!”

Quentin instantly stretched out her tongue and licked Hong Dali.

Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi were shocked again. Lan Ruoxi said in surprise, “Looks like this little fellow also has the potential to be a prodigal, haha. Just nice, Dali and this tiger cub can form a pair! I shall ask the butler to prepare some high-quality Australia beef to feed it later!”
