Chapter 20 Commanding the Wind and Rain, A Dragon Among Men

In beautiful fairy tales, the princess's room is made of clouds, with stars and the moon twinkling around it, and the walls are painted pink, a color the girl loves.

In the very center of the room stood a round bed shrouded in white gauze curtains. Sunlight filtered through the window, casting a sliver of light onto the face of the girl on the bed, swaying with her even breathing like a cat's whiskers.

The girl was hugging a thin blanket, with one arm, shoulder, and collarbone outside the blanket. Her fair and smooth skin reflected the sunlight like jade, and only fine downy hairs could be seen.

At this moment, the girl seemed to be having a beautiful dream, a serene smile on her face, her long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly; everything was so beautiful…

The clock on the wall was frozen at 4:30.

Ring ring! Ring ring!

The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang with a piercing ringtone.

The girl suddenly sat up with a start, the blanket slipping off her body and revealing a large expanse of her skin.

"..."

Those deep green eyes, a result of their mixed Chinese and Portuguese heritage, stared blankly at the wall, a look of drowsy confusion and bewilderment flashing across them, but soon they brightened and filled with joy, just like the colors of spring in full bloom.

Thump! Thump thump!

About two hours later, the girl, having changed her clothes, pushed open the door and hurried downstairs.

Glug... Glug...

A familiar sound came from the kitchen. The girl subconsciously sniffed, smelling the delicious aroma, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

"Small mast?"

Seemingly hearing the girl's footsteps coming downstairs, a woman poked half her body out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, revealing a face that bore a striking resemblance to her.

"what?"

The woman's gaze lingered on her face first, then she looked her up and down before narrowing her eyes and asking with a smile, "Didn't you say you didn't have class today? Why are you up so early?"

Click.

"I'm going shopping with my friends, I'm going to be late!" Without turning around, Su Xiaoqiang changed her shoes and called out loudly, "Mom, I'm leaving."

"Stop right there."

Before Su Xiaoqiang could slip away, her mother's stern words came from behind, causing the girl to instinctively pause and stand still.

Then, she stiffly turned around, looked at her mother walking towards her, and gave a coquettish smile on her pretty face: "Mom~ what's wrong now?"

"..."

Su's mother walked up to her without saying a word or showing any expression, looking at her daughter who seemed to be caught red-handed with her eyes darting around nervously...

Only when Su Xiaoqiang started blinking rapidly under her gaze did she reveal a gentle smile, stuffing the paper bag containing steamed buns into her daughter's hand and saying, "Have you forgotten that you have a bad stomach? Take your breakfast and find somewhere to eat it."

"Would you like me to drive you?"

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, quickly shook her head, and smiled, "No need, Mom. I'll just go for a morning run."

Watching her daughter's figure disappear from sight, Su's mother seemed to be thinking about something, standing at the door without making any move for a long time.

Click.

The door to the other bedroom opened.

"Ha~" A middle-aged man in pajamas yawned as he came out. He paused for a moment when he saw the woman standing in the doorway, and asked in confusion, "Wife, what are you looking at?"

Su's mother snapped out of her daze and turned to look at him, but there was a strange look in her pale green eyes. She pointed to the bedroom next door and laughed, "Xiao Qiang got up earlier than you today. He said he was going shopping with a friend and he just left."

"No wonder I heard the door open earlier. Xiao Qiang, you're up so early today, did the sun rise in the west?"

Mr. Su, who was coming downstairs, was also a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly dismissed it and casually asked, "Does she have enough money in her card? Should I transfer some more?"

Raise sons frugally, raise daughters lavishly.

As the head of the Su's Mining Group, which owns iron ore, coal mines, molybdenum mines, and manganese mines, his family has taken this strategy to the extreme.

Although Su Xiaoqiang is still in junior high school, she manages to earn around ten thousand yuan in pocket money every month to treat her girlfriends to meals.

Some people felt bad about eating her food all the time and said they would treat themselves to this meal. Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes and said, "Do you own a mine?"

The other party said my father is in the trading business, but my family doesn't own any mines.

Su Xiaoqiang said, "If you don't have a mine, why are you paying the bill?"

Then, she slammed her dad's platinum credit card supplementary card onto the table.

Therefore, everyone calls Su Xiaoqiang "Little Heavenly Maiden", which means "the pride of heaven".

Su's father didn't see anything wrong with this at all; in fact, he was proud of it, as it would prevent his daughter from being tricked by some poor boy from some remote corner of the country.

"But your precious daughter wore makeup today," Su's mother suddenly said. "And it's obvious that she even used my face mask without permission."

"So what if it's dissolved? What's the big deal..."

Sitting at the dining table, Mr. Su subconsciously replied, but quickly realized what he meant and stared blankly at his wife, asking, "Putting on makeup?"

He knew his daughter's inherent pride; unless she was going to an important banquet with him, she never wore makeup when she was with her girlfriends.

The main selling point is that natural beauty is hard to ignore.

Today is...

"If a girl unusually puts on makeup and changes into her favorite clothes, there's only one possibility," Su's mother said thoughtfully. "Do you think our Xiaoqiang might...?"

Bang!

Mr. Su immediately flew into a rage, slammed his hand on the table, sat bolt upright, and shouted, "How is this possible?"

"What are you yelling about!"

Su's mother glared at him, and Su's father immediately deflated, sitting down obediently and muttering, "Impossible. How old is Xiao Qiang? What does she know? Besides, what brat would be worthy of making my daughter do that?"

Hearing this, Su's mother rolled her eyes and said irritably, "It's just a guess. Xiao Qiang has only been back from America for a year. You know her temper and her taste. Who could tame her in such a short time?"

"Can you please stop being so scary so early in the morning?"

Father Su patted his chest and waved his hand with an air of authority: "Don't even mention whether Xiao Qiang would be interested. Even if he were, he'd have to get past me first. My son-in-law has to be a dragon among men who can command the wind and rain!"

"You call yourself someone who can command the wind and rain, a dragon among men? Are you looking for a son-in-law, or the Dragon King of the Four Seas?"

Su's mother placed the breakfast on the table, glanced at him sideways, and chuckled, "I'm different. As long as his character is good and Xiaoqiang is happy, it doesn't matter if we have money or not. Aren't all the money we earn saved for Xiaoqiang?"

"Most importantly, he has to treat Xiaoqiang well."

Meanwhile, in a detached villa in the suburbs.

Qi Xiuyuan sat quietly at the wooden table on the balcony, holding a warm cup in his hands, his thick calluses insulating him from most of the heat.

I could feel the warmth flowing through my palms, the temperature gradually spreading throughout my body, drying away the slight drowsiness like water.

"call."

After taking a sip of hot milk, Qi Xiuyuan exhaled and comfortably closed his eyes.

Looking at the distant, swirling clouds, he stretched out a hand, the wind gently swirling between his fingers, and chuckled softly, "Today is another beautiful and peaceful day."
