My Arrogant Young Lady

Then, smiling, she pulled me up from the chair and said with a grin, "Brother Xi, you're getting married in just half a month. I have a fun program I'd like you to participate in. It's very interesting, please take a seat and I'll tell you all about it."

"What program?" I frowned and glanced at Xiao Haoren and the noble children around him. I was a little reluctant to participate.

"You'll see when you get here. I'll explain it to you properly." With a mischievous grin, the kind-hearted man led me directly to a seat of honor in the nightclub.

Chapter 236 Dragon Essence

A variety of imported liquors were laid out, and a group of beautiful women were entertaining them. He handed me a cigar, then grinned mischievously, "Brother Xi, here's the thing. The movie our company recently invested in is progressing well. With two months until its release, many industry professionals are predicting it will be a box office hit. This has attracted a lot of investment from conglomerates eager to invest in our next movie."

"Moreover, one of the investors in our company this time is a young master from one of the four major families in our country, named Long Yuan. Although Long Yuan is not the heir of the Long family, he is very much favored by the head of the Long family. His status in the Long family is second only to the heir. He invested in our film company because of you. He has long admired you and wants to befriend you. So he organized a party and wanted to invite you to come and have some fun to enhance our friendship," said the kind-hearted man.

"Hehe. I thought it was something good, turns out you just want me to help you make money again. When are you going to play? You tell me." I held Tang Ning's little hand beside me and said to the little good girl in a slightly annoyed tone.

"The day after tomorrow. A week later." The little good guy grinned mischievously.

"A week? That long?" I was surprised.

"Hehe, Long Yuan, the second son of the Long family, is quite the player. His family's power is second only to your Wang family, and on par with the Ye family, the family you're about to marry into. This party hosted by Long Yuan isn't just a small affair. He owns a luxury cruise ship that's already sailed over from the south. And this time, our party will be held at sea. I'll be bringing Shen Meimei, Shanshan, and many beauties from our company, as well as Zhang Aoqing and her group of aristocratic girls. Young Master Long also has many good friends; he'll be bringing some aristocratic sons and many internet celebrity beauties. Hehe, the party hosted by Young Master Long is comparable to the Blue Sky Banquet. And since we're at sea, no matter what you do, the Ye family's spies won't be able to see you. The wedding's coming up soon; if we don't have some fun now, we'll miss our chance!" The little good guy grinned mischievously, then lightly licked his lips.

After listening to the kind-hearted man's words, I pondered for a moment. This kind-hearted man was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without personal gain; he knew how important it was to befriend the second son of the Long family. And the day of my wedding with Xi'er would be the day I took over the Wang family. If the Wang family were to flourish under my leadership, I would naturally need my own network of connections.

I have no interest in the beautiful women they've brought, but I'm somewhat interested in the young master of the Long family. Going to sea with them is fine, but it takes too long, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back in time to marry Xi'er.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured, you will definitely be able to return in time to marry Xi'er. Your marriage to Xi'er is a grand affair, and on the day of your wedding, all four major families in the country will send representatives to offer their congratulations. Although the second son of the Long family is playful, he is a capable friend. His mission this time is also to deliver congratulatory gifts to the Ye family, and he will definitely strictly control his itinerary and dare not delay your wedding date. Besides, we are only going to have fun for a week, and even after we return, there is still a week to go," said the kind-hearted boy.

"Okay, let me think about it," I said.

"Okay." The kind-hearted person smiled.

After discussing business with Xiao Haoren, I prepared to leave. Seeing that I was leaving, and realizing it wouldn't be fun for him to stay alone at the nightclub, he accompanied me, flattering me along the way. When we reached Zhang Shixue, Xiao Haoren's eyes lit up at the sight of the beautiful Zhang Shixue. "Young Master, is this beauty your friend?"

“Yes, she’s my friend,” I said.

"We can invite her onto the cruise ship too, we need lots of beautiful women." The little sweetheart's eyes sparkled, his gaze sweeping over Zhang Shixue.

“Good boy, Zhang Shixue is a good girl.” I said to him with a slight frown.

“Of course I know, but Zhang Shixue is really pretty. You could let her come over as your friend, consider it a free trip,” the kind-hearted person said.

Li Jiaqi, Zhang Shixue, and Lanlan had all met "Little Good Guy" and knew he was the young master of Hao Ren Group in the provincial capital. For Li Jiaqi, "Little Good Guy" was someone she couldn't even dream of meeting. After thinking for a moment, Li Jiaqi frowned and asked, "Young Master Hao, what do you mean by 'travel'?"

"Beautiful lady, it's our party! My good friend Long Yuan is treating us the day after tomorrow. He's the second son of the Long family, one of the four major families in the country. He brought over a luxury cruise ship from his family to treat us to some fun. Beautiful lady, why don't you come and join us? The young master of the Long family is one of the top figures in the country, and his friends are naturally some of the most famous young masters. If you come, you might meet some rich young men and get lots of valuable gifts!" The kind-hearted guy immediately adopted the tone of a friendly older brother.

"Forget it, we're not going to your party. You're all rich people, what if you try to take advantage of us on the cruise ship?" Lanlan said warily to Xiaohaoren.

"Hehe. I'm the most famous good guy in the provincial capital, and you're the prince's friends. Tell me, who would dare to bully you or take advantage of you? The only reason I invited you is because the cruise ship is too big and there are too few beautiful women to look at. You are a beautiful sight on the cruise ship, and we won't do anything to you." The good guy explained earnestly.

"Lanlan, Shixue, why don't we go broaden our horizons? It's Long Yuan, the young master of one of the four major families in the country. I've seen him on the entertainment news. I heard he's had many scandals with celebrities, maybe we can even meet a big star." Li Jiaqi immediately took the bait, looking forward to our party.

"Of course! I heard Longyuan is dating Zhou Xiaotong, who's a very popular star right now. We'll be at sea for seven days and seven nights, and Zhou Xiaotong will definitely come along to watch him. Besides Zhou Xiaotong, our big stars Shen Meimei, Shanshan, Zhang Xiaofeng, and Yang Han will also be coming. And the famous director Li Dagang will be coming too. Who knows, he might even take a liking to you and ask you to be a star," the kind-hearted guy said with a smile.

"What? Yang Han, whom I've always liked, is coming too!? Great. We agree!!!" Li Jiaqi exclaimed excitedly.

"Hey beautiful, how about we add each other on WeChat? I'll send you my address later," the nice guy said.

"Okay!" Li Jiaqi nodded and added Xiao Haoren on WeChat.

Standing to the side, I thought to myself, Li Jiaqi is really naive and easily fooled. If you can believe what this "good guy" says, then pigs can fly. But the "good guy" probably didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to find some pretty girls to liven things up. And Zhang Shixue and the others are my good friends; he'll definitely take good care of them.

"Young Master, invite An Yao over too. We need beautiful women to deceive you like I did," the kind-hearted boy said to me as he saw me off.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." I left with Tang Ning.

After I got home, I told An Yao about Xiao Hao's good intentions, but An Yao immediately and coldly refused, "No time, I'm not going."

"Why? Don't you want to go and have some fun?" I asked.

“Making friends with Long Yuan is a good idea. But spending seven days at sea is not recommended. It's pointless, so An Yao won't go,” An Yao said.

"Che'er, are you going?" I thought for a moment and asked.

"I've had enough fun already, and Che'er doesn't want to go either." Wang Che's eyes showed pity. She pouted at me pitifully. It was as if I had never played like this before in her life, and she thought I was too pathetic.

"What about you guys?" Seeing that An Yao and Wang Che didn't want to go, I looked at my brothers.

Hearing my words, Young Master Bao and Lu Zhicheng smiled wryly. "Brother Xi, we wish we had as much free time as you. But we still need to practice martial arts, and there's still a gap between our strength and yours. Now that we've taken the Qi-boosting pills that Xi'er gave us, our strength is almost at a breakthrough, so we'd better not go."

"Yes, we'll be welcoming Miss Xi'er home soon. We need to prepare the itinerary so you can set off directly on the day you marry her," the four hall masters said to me.

“Brother, why don’t you take Tang Ning with you? You’re still too inexperienced anyway. It would be good for you to broaden your horizons by learning from Long Yuan and Xiao Haoren. I know Long Yuan; he’s got no flaws except for being a bit playful. Like Xiao Haoren, he’s a very shrewd person. And the four major families in the country have a very good relationship with our Wang family. Long Yuan probably just wants to befriend you. He can take good care of you and Tang Ning,” Wang Huan said.

“I’m afraid our eldest brother might lose control and do something reckless a few days before the wedding. Wang You, why don’t you go with him?” An Yao said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay." Wang You's injuries have healed quite a bit recently, and his relationship with us has improved as well. As the fifth brother, Wang You always obeyed his second sister's orders.

"Wang You, keep a close eye on Wang Xi. If Wang Xi dares to cause trouble, kick him into the sea!" Wang Che grinned wickedly.

"Big brothers and sisters, what kind of person do you think I, Wang Xi, am?" I said irritably.

“He’s always been a pervert. Yesterday he even made an excuse to say my socks were nice, and then took the opportunity to touch my feet.” Tang Ning immediately grinned mischievously.

"Tang Ning, you fucking wronged me!" My face turned red instantly upon hearing Tang Ning's words.

“I believe it now, because Wang Xi has a foot fetish.” Wang Che immediately smiled.

After hearing Wang Che's words, the brothers all covered their mouths and laughed. Xiao Liuli didn't understand what foot fetish meant, but she also laughed happily.

Wang You shook his head helplessly and gave me a disdainful look.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock, Wang Che immediately clutched his stomach and went to the door, saying with a laugh, "I'll go open the door."

However, the moment Wang Che opened the door, an aura of power immediately wafted out. Instantly, all the brothers in the house turned wary.

A handsome young man walked in and immediately embraced Wang Che. Then he gently kissed Wang Che's cheek, saying, "Che'er, you're still so handsome even when you're dressed as a man. If you wore women's clothes, I'm afraid you would seduce this young master to death."

"Mid-level God-level expert, Dragon Essence?" Seeing the young man's friendly smile, An Yao's expression softened slightly.

"An Yao, it's been a long time. Wang Huan, Wang You, Liu Li, hello!" The young man nodded slightly in greeting, then took the hand of a beautiful woman outside the door and invited her in.

"Brother Xi, I've heard so much about you, and I'm so glad to finally meet you in person today. Brother Xi, you've suffered so much all these years." As if we were old friends, Long Yuan quickly walked up to me and hugged me tightly.

Chapter 237 The Long Family's Luxury Cruise Ship

Being held tightly by this young man surprised me. Gradually, my heart warmed, and I unconsciously developed a fondness for him.

He is very cultured and has a powerful background, but he is not arrogant. This is a person I should befriend.

She reached out and gave him a few warm hugs. After we separated, Long Yuan waved his hand and said, "Sister, give the gifts I brought to the Wang family's good friends."

"Yes." The girl next to Long Yuan nodded gently, and then took out several exquisite little boxes and distributed them to me, An Yao, Wang Che, Wang Huan, Wang You and Liu Li.

As soon as the small box was opened, the room was instantly filled with light. Wang Che looked at the bright pearl in the box, gently closed it, and smiled, "The twelfth young master of the Long family is indeed generous, actually giving each of us six siblings a priceless luminous pearl in one go."

"Hehe. You, Wang Che, are quite generous. Last time you visited our Long family, you gave each of us a Divine Qi Condensation Pill, a necessary ingredient for a Divine-level expert. Treasures have a price, but pills are priceless. Your Wang family's treasures are something that no amount of money can buy." Long Yuan smiled.

"It's nothing, just a small token of my mother's affection. But why didn't you bring your celebrity girlfriend? Instead, it was your younger sister, Long Yun, from the Long family who came?" Wang Che smiled as he glanced at the young woman beside Long Yuan.

I remember the last time I visited the Long family, the youngest sister was just a little girl. Now, Long Yun is fifteen and has grown into a graceful young lady.

Upon hearing Wang Che's words, Long Yuan lit a cigarette and laughed heartily. He then leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said, "Long Yun, you tell them!"

Long Yuan is very well-mannered, and so is Long Yun. From the moment they entered until now, Long Yun has only listened to us and hasn't interrupted.

When Long Yuan asked her to speak, Long Yun immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "It's all because my brother is so improper. He leaves a story wherever he goes. Sister-in-law Xiaotong was worried, so she asked Long Yun to come and keep an eye on him."

After saying that, Long Yun glared at Long Yuan and said, "Brother, Xiaotong is already your twenty-seventh girlfriend. If you don't treat her well and keep messing around, and you can't get married soon to continue the Long family line, then Yun'er will not be polite to you." After saying that, Long Yun sat down next to Long Yuan and pinched him hard.

"Don't be silly, little sister." Long Yun immediately hugged Long Yun in his arms, and the brother-sister relationship was the envy of everyone who saw it.

Then, Long Yuan smiled and said to us, "I brought my sister here this time not only because she has a mission to keep an eye on me, but also because I want to find her a suitable husband. Your Wang family's children are outstanding, so it would be a blessing for my sister if they took a liking to her. Although your heir Wang Xi is already engaged, as far as I know, he is allowed to take concubines. I wouldn't mind if she became a concubine. So, which of you has taken a fancy to my sister?"

Hearing Long Yuan's words, a subtle expression appeared on everyone's face. Then, we took a closer look at Long Yun and found that although she was young, she was a striking beauty. And her noble birth from the Long family was evident. However, Wang You only glanced at her once before walking to a corner, then sitting on the ground and closing his eyes to rest. Wang Huan looked at Long Yun and immediately showed a self-deprecating expression, saying, "My family's circumstances are ordinary; we are not worthy of such a fine girl."

As for me, I just think Long Yun is pretty and cute. She'd be fine as a younger sister, but I have no interest in her as a wife. However, Wang You and Wang Huan have already rejected Wang Yun, and if I reject her too, it might embarrass her. So I lit a cigarette, smiled, and said, "Long Yuan, your sister is quite nice. When she turns eighteen, I, Wang Xi, will take her!"

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?!" An Yao immediately looked at me with icy eyes.

"What's wrong?" A chill ran through me, and I felt like I had spoken out loud.

“Brother, you’re not a street thug anymore. You’re the heir of the Wang family. A Wang family heir’s word is law. Even a joke must be kept. Do you know that a king’s word is law? Since you promised to marry Long Yun, you must marry her when she turns eighteen. Brother, you’re being too reckless.” An Yao gave me a disgruntled look, then frowned, looking rather unhappy.

"What should I do?!" I felt a chill run through my body, and I felt like I wanted to die.

"We'll talk about it later," An Yao whispered to me.

As for Long Yuan and Long Yun, they were also deeply shocked after hearing my words. Long Yuan looked at me intently with his heroic eyes for a long time, then smiled and said, "So the heir of the Wang family is a kindred spirit with me. Besides loving the country, he also loves beautiful women. Very well, it's fine for my sister to become a concubine. Since you have already betrothed my sister, then let her marry you when she turns eighteen."

"I was just joking..." Seeing that Long Yuan was serious, my body felt hot and cold alternately. My voice was soft, like a mosquito's buzz.

Long Yuan and Long Yun naturally didn't hear these words. Long Yun blushed and secretly looked at me with her beautiful eyes for a long time.

This was both a big deal and a small matter. Long Yuan quickly stopped mentioning it and then chatted casually with me to build rapport.

He came this time because he was afraid that his invitation to the party wasn't sincere enough, so he came over in person to invite me again. After we chatted for more than an hour, Longyuan took his sister's hand and stood up to say goodbye.

"Stay for dinner." My face still burned with embarrassment as I recalled the mistake I had just made.

"I won't bother you any longer. See you the day after tomorrow." After embracing me tightly once more, Long Yuan bid me farewell.

After Long Yuan left, An Yao and Wang Che both gave me a disdainful look and said, "Brother, look what you've done! Three years from now, we'll see how you marry Long Yun."

"Stop joking, do you think I really want to marry her?" I asked.

"You are the heir of the Wang family; your words carry the weight of history. Let this matter take its course," An Yao sighed. She then walked straight into her room, ignoring me.

"Sister, can't we annul the engagement?" I thought for a moment and asked.

“Even someone as kind-hearted as Xiaohao doesn’t deserve to break off the engagement. Wang Yun, on the other hand, has excellent upbringing and impeccable character. What reason do you have to break off the engagement with her? Hurry up and become the head of the family; Che’er is waiting for you to help me break off the engagement. Your luck with women is too good. Che’er can’t stop your good fortune.” Giving me an impatient look, Wang Che went to find An Yao.

“Brother, Huan’er can help you,” Wang Huan said to me after thinking for a moment.

"Is there any way?" I asked.

“Huan’er can cast a curse on you, turning you into a jinxed, unlucky person. If your luck turns bad, you and Long Yun might be able to end this ill-fated relationship,” Wang Huan said.

"Really?" I asked.

“Hehe, Huan’er is a master of Qimen Dunjia, when has Huan’er’s skill ever failed?” Wang Huan asked.

"Then, I won't be delayed in marrying Xi'er, will I?" I asked.

“You and Xi’er are a match made in heaven; your being together is destiny. Your lives are intertwined, and no one can separate you,” Wang Huan said.

"Really?" I was overjoyed upon hearing Wang Huan's words.
