"It's like this, Miss Ning. The Young Master has some unfinished business and is busy, so he specially sent us here to greet you two."

The one who spoke was the golden toad.

Several elders of the Chu family around also nodded.

Their status in the Chu family is very important. Having them come forward to welcome President Yan and his adopted daughter is a great honor to them.

The fifth elder said, "President Yan, the Young Master has no intention of ignoring you. The Young Master is indeed busy with something."

President Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Of course I know that Master Chu didn't mean that, and my adopted daughter didn't mean that either. She always speaks like that, it's hard to resist."

The fifth elder also laughed: "Your daughter is really quick-witted, lively and playful. President Yan, Miss Ning, please come this way."

Ning Xiqiao stopped talking. She curled her lips slightly and followed President Yan into the Chu family's meeting hall.

About ten minutes after they arrived, Chu Shiyu strode over.

Chu Shiyu was followed by Bai Xie and Tian Long.

Seeing them come in, everyone stood up.

There was only one person, still sitting there, with a casual and lazy posture, looking at Chu Shiyu with a very playful expression.

Chu Shiyu naturally noticed the only person sitting there who looked quite rude.

Ning Xiqiao.

"Mr. Chu, I, Yan, came to your house suddenly and I'm sorry to bother you!" President Yan said with a smile.

Chu Shiyu shifted his indifferent gaze away from Ning Xiqiao, strode to the main seat and sat down.

"President Yan, you are too polite. We are both members of the Guardian Clan, and the Chu family is the leading family of the Guardian Clan. I did not mean to disturb you. Please take a seat."

Chu Shiyu said, and everyone took their seats.

President Yan smiled and nodded: "Young Master Chu is right."

After he sat down, he smiled and pointed at Ning Xiqiao beside him, saying, "Master Chu, let me introduce you. This is my adopted daughter, Ning Xiqiao. I'm sure you've heard of her before."

Chu Shiyu's gaze then returned to Ning Xiqiao, "I know, she was your adopted daughter twelve years ago. Now, the other source chip is in her possession?"

When Chu Shiyu said this number twelve years ago, his eyes turned colder when he looked at Ning Xiqiao.

But his thoughts were always unpredictable, and others could not see the changes in his expression at all.

"Yes, the other source chip is on Xi Qiao. This child has loved adventure since she was a child. She recently returned from the Ancient Beast Mountain. Before that, she also traveled to various forbidden areas.

She always runs to where there's danger. That source chip was obtained in the Arctic glacier three years ago."

"Since it was obtained three years ago, why did President Yan tell us only now?" Chu Shiyu asked.

President Yan shook his head and laughed. Just as he was about to explain, Ning Xiqiao at the side took the initiative to speak.

"Don't you remember me, Master Chu?"

She asked so abruptly that everyone was stunned.

Chu Shiyu's face was expressionless, and he asked calmly, "Have I seen you before?"

Ning Xiqiao smiled softly, and her long hair swayed gently with her movements, which looked very beautiful.

Her face was delicate and beautiful, only the size of a palm, but filled with an unfathomable aura.

"It really makes me sad that Chu Shaozun doesn't remember me. Three years ago, there was a huge avalanche on the Arctic glacier. When Chu Shizun and the others were running for their lives, I was also running for my life.

We even crossed paths while escaping."

She said, pursing her lips and smiling softly.

"Do you still remember this zipper pull, Mr. Chu?" Ning Xiqiao said as he took out a zipper pull.

It is made of black alloy and is a unique configuration of the Chu family combat uniform.

Chu Shiyu and other people from the Chu family were all stunned when they saw the zipper pull in Ning Xiqiao's hand.

They looked at Chu Shiyu in disbelief.

Chu Shiyu's expression turned noticeably colder.

President Yan laughed and joked, "Huh? Could it be that Xi Qiao and Chu Shaozun have met before?"

"No." Chu Shiyu interrupted coldly.

President Yan’s expression froze.

"That's why I'm so sad." Ning Xiqiao sighed softly and gently placed the black zipper head on the conference table.

"During the avalanche, I was nearly buried under the snowy mountain, but it was Chu Shaozun who saved me!

At that time, you held me in your arms, and when we were out of danger, I had already fainted.

However, when I woke up, Chu Shaozun and others had already left, and I was holding your zipper head in my hand.

Over the past three years, I have always remembered the look on Chu Shaozun's face when he saved me, and I have kept this zipper pull as well."

She slowly lowered her eyes, and the playful expression on her face faded, as if she was cherishing it extremely seriously.

All the senior executives of the Chu family looked at Chu Shiyu. If the young master really had a connection with this Miss Ning, then they were truly destined to be together.

Moreover, this Miss Ning's identity is not ordinary, and she also possesses that chip...

It’s not impossible to make friends.

As for other feelings, they dare not think about it now.

They can't control Shao Zun's feelings.

"Ms. Ning, three years ago, when we encountered an avalanche in the Arctic glacier, our young master was poisoned. He couldn't have had the energy to save you."

Behind Chu Shiyu, Tianlong spoke coldly.

Ning Xiqiao smiled and said, "Yes, Young Master Chu was very weak at the time, but he still protected me..."

Chu Shiyu said calmly, "I did save someone back then."

Ning Xiqiao's eyes lit up.

The Chu family's top brass all looked at him in shock. Young Master admitted it? What did he mean by this?

Could it be that he is also interested in this Miss Ning?

Chu Shiyu continued, "At the beginning, there was someone who kept yelling, and the yelling triggered an even more violent avalanche. In order to make that person shut up, I had to grab her neck and lift her up to make her shut up..."

When Chu Shiyu glanced towards Ning Xiqiao, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. "Could it be that you were the one who was yelling back then?"

Ning Xiqiao's face froze.

She widened her eyes in disbelief. She never expected that Chu Shiyu, the young master of the Chu family, would be so ungraceful!

He actually described what happened at that time.

However, this was not enough, and Chu Shiyu continued, "As for what you said about holding her in your arms, Miss Ning, you are probably stunned by the shock, or dreaming, right?"

Ning Xiqiao's face couldn't help but twitch. What a shameless man! Not only did he expose her, but he also accused her of daydreaming!
