Xia Che couldn't have imagined, no matter how hard he racked his brains, that the little devil's thought process could be so convoluted. To Xia Che, wasn't that envelope just a thank-you note?
I never even considered the romantic aspect.
He had more important things to do these few days, which is why he told Yu Shiyue. As for the school, he could just ask for leave.
"This must be it... Tsk, it seems like everyone who lives here is rich, and even richer than me. Seriously, they talk like I'm rich myself. I'm just a poor wretch."
Looking at the villa complex around him, which was clearly more luxurious than Lishi Quyuan, Xia Che touched his nose, feeling both amused and exasperated.
The young master of the Xia family was indeed richer than the people living here in the past, but things are different now.
He has the air of a rich young master, but in reality he's just a poor wretch.
"If it weren't for the need to have more contact with the female lead to complete the mission, I would really like to live here. Wouldn't it be better to live off a beautiful woman every day?"
Xia Che sighed, then raised his hand and gently pressed the doorbell.
This is where Cao Ying lives. As members of the Four-Colored Roses, they have been taking on missions and earning money since the original owner was very young. Their accumulated wealth is now comparable to that of any wealthy person in the Jiang City Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, they also receive subsidies from the Yan Yun Gang, so it is not surprising that they can live here.
Xia Che had originally planned to go directly up the mountain to find his master, but his strange thoughts last night left him somewhat bewildered. Since his master's birthday was coming up soon, he decided to take this opportunity to visit her and offer his blessings.
Although he didn't want to meet Su Miaorou before because he was afraid she would notice something, Xia Che gradually felt relieved after seeing that Ning Zheyuan, Cao Ying, and other close people around him didn't notice anything unusual.
—If even people with such close relationships can't notice anything unusual, even if Su Miaorou were a celestial being, she might not be able to detect it, right?
After all, even though the original owner of this body often went to see her master, in terms of the closeness of their relationship, Su Miaorou still couldn't compare to the two mentioned above.
But just as Xia Che was about to book tickets, he received a text message from Cao Ying asking him to come to her house.
"It's probably related to that sapphire, right? Tsk tsk... Such an expensive thing, it seems Cao Ying is going to become a tycoon in the future."
On the way here, Xia Che did a quick search on his phone and found that the "Tears of Atlantis" was accidentally found by Xing Tian Construction in a gem mine in Australia. The Xing family's publicity was not false; the sapphire, about the size of an adult man's fist, is indeed the first of its kind in the world.
This sapphire is unprecedented, and its value is immeasurable.
Now that Cao Ying has it, and it's in the hands of the Four-Colored Rose, Xia Che feels that the Xing family is unlikely to get it back. With the Yan Yun Gang's connections, they have plenty of ways to sell this sapphire.
Of course, the Xing family will not give up on investigating the sapphire. Although Cao Ying is not afraid of the Xing family, the current situation is sensitive, and she cannot be too ostentatious. She will avoid trouble if possible, so she will not make a move on the sapphire for the time being.
While she was thinking, Cao Ying had already arrived, opened the door, and looked at Xia Che with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness. It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
Early in the morning, Cao Ying was still wearing the loose white bathrobe she wore to bed. The collar of the bathrobe was fluffy, which outlined her graceful curves. Her high breasts almost burst the ribbons of the bathrobe, revealing a glimpse of her white skin.
Xia Che could smell a milky fragrance just by looking at it from afar.
"Owner."
Cao Ying called out sweetly. Already a stunning beauty, her exquisite features became even more alluring at this moment, and that call was enough to make one's bones melt.
"Hmm, have you eaten? I brought you some breakfast."
Xia Che gave a brief greeting, and Cao Ying stepped aside to make way for him. Xia Che then walked in and secretly clicked his tongue as he looked at the obviously expensive furniture inside.
Damn it, who's the owner anyway?
Why does Cao Ying seem to be living such a much better life than me?
Actually, the real young master of the Xia family is Cao Ying, right?
"I've put it here for you."
Xia Che shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, then casually placed the small plastic bag he was carrying on the table.
"What is that?"
Cao Ying was a little curious. She hadn't eaten breakfast yet. The main reason was that she was so excited about her master coming to find her that she didn't want to do anything else and just wanted to wait for Xia Che to come.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Xia Che had brought himself some fried dough sticks and steamed buns, which were placed in a greasy plastic bag, along with two cups of hot soy milk.
"I haven't eaten yet either, let's sit down and eat together, these are all the things you loved to eat when you were little."
Xia Che didn't think at all that the breakfast she bought might be disliked. After all, in today's society, what pretty girl would eat something like this?
Some women are sycophants who buy them all sorts of fancy breakfasts, not to mention someone like Cao Ying who is both beautiful and rich.
If it were anyone else, this breakfast alone might have brought bad luck to the girl.
But Xia Che was different. He never cared about these things. Anyway, these were all foods he liked to eat, regardless of whether the other person liked them or not...
What does this have to do with him?
As long as I enjoy my food, that's all that matters...
"Wow!"
Cao Ying rested her chin on her hands, her eyes seemingly shining, and quickly sat down opposite Xia Che. "Master, you actually remember that I like to eat these?"
Similarly, Xia Che is no ordinary person, and Cao Ying, who has served him since childhood, is certainly no ordinary person either.
Other girls might find it distasteful, but Cao Ying never would. For her, the fact that her owner thought of her and brought her the food she loved was already a great happiness.
At that moment, Cao Ying felt like the happiest woman in the world.
"Hmm, it's not like it's anything hard to remember."
Xia Che shrugged, broke one of the two cups of soy milk in half, and handed it over. "But you, you're always on missions abroad, you probably don't eat this often, do you?"
"Yeah, back in Australia, breakfast was just leafy greens with salad dressing. You couldn't even find a cup of hot milk. It tasted so bad it felt like my guts were going to burst."
In front of Xia Che, Cao Ying didn't care about her image at all. She reached out and grabbed a fried dough stick, holding a soy milk in her left hand. The bright luster of her robe, made of expensive silk, made her look particularly out of place.
"Foreign breakfasts... well, they certainly don't suit our tastes."
Xia Che thought about it and realized that during the few years he had been a young master, he had indeed eaten those breakfasts that looked very classy, but without exception, none of them were even as good as the most ordinary pan-fried buns.
It tastes awful...
"By the way, what are you planning to do with that sapphire?"
Xia Che chewed for a moment and then asked.
