My Arrogant Young Lady

“He knows. These three conditions are what he asked us to propose to you,” the wolf said.

"No wonder." I laughed.

"Then let's set off now," the wolf said, taking another large gulp from the flask. He then stood up.

“Let’s drive up north. My leg is injured and walking is too hard. Besides, my aunt is getting old and it’s not suitable for her to suffer with us,” I said to the wolf.

"Okay." The wolf believed that as long as he had me with him, we would be safe, and no one could harm us. And I would definitely not harm him until I reached the north.

As for what happens after we get to the north, his boss will probably be coming too. As long as his boss is there, I won't have to worry about escaping from them.

"Come downstairs, we've bought your car. There's money downstairs, you'll see it when you go down."

Because it was too late to buy a car, the wolf, following my instructions, stole four vehicles: a Toyota Prado and three minivans. The owners' phone numbers were inside each car, and we left a bag of cash in the parking space. When the owners ran downstairs and saw that we had already driven their cars away, they angrily shouted and were about to chase after us when they saw bundles of cash in a woven bag. We essentially bought their cars for double the price.

"Are they all habitual thieves?" On the way, thinking about their practiced movements, I couldn't help but smile and look at the wolf.

Inside the SUV sat Wolf, my aunt, and two of his men. This time, Wolf was driving, and I sat in the passenger seat. My aunt sat in the back, guarded by Wolf's two men. As long as my aunt was in their hands, I wouldn't escape. Ever since my aunt witnessed the unfair treatment we received and heard Wolf reveal my identity, she had remained silent, not uttering a single word. She looked preoccupied, lost in thought.

“We’re mercenaries, we can even fly planes. Stealing cars is a piece of cake for us.” Wolf looked both amused and exasperated when he heard my praise.

“Actually, you can join our Wang family. You should know who we are. Once you join us, we can overlook any past mistakes you may have made,” I said.

"Let's see how fate brings us together," the wolf smiled.

Because they were professionals, Wolf and his men were equally skilled drivers. They drove all night and then half the morning, until almost noon. Our four vehicles gradually began to enter the northern territory.

On the way, my aunt quietly looked out the window, gazing at everything she knew so well. Suddenly, she thought for a moment and said to me, "Xi'er, do you think if I sold our house in Mingzhu City and your uncle and I went back to the North, we could live a good life?"

"Yes." I nodded gently.

"I want to buy a house in the countryside, raise some chickens and ducks, and plant a garden. I don't need too much money, just enough to get by." My aunt seemed to be talking to me, but also to herself.

I didn't respond to my aunt's words. We didn't talk much to begin with; she was always the one initiating conversations. But she suddenly had this idea. Perhaps she was traumatized by being captured by the wolf. She probably realized that the Wang family's money wasn't so easy to spend. Although the Wang family lived a wealthy life, they faced various dangers every day. And her silence for a whole day and night yesterday must have made her imagine the complexities of the Wang family's life.

Someone like her wouldn't be tolerated by anyone in the Wang family. Wang Che wouldn't indulge her behavior. Wang Huan wouldn't indulge her behavior, and my most unruly younger brother, Wang Yu, certainly wouldn't.

The saying "Once you enter the gates of a noble family, it's like entering a deep sea" probably means this.

I was arrested, but I was still respected. Even though my aunt managed to squeeze into our family, no one liked her.

“Just keep driving along the highway. Keep driving all the way to Shenyang. I have two houses there, a villa and a regular house. Since there are many of you, you can stay in my villa. Then you can rest for a while, and tonight I'll contact my uncle to take you out to sea,” I said.

"Okay." After hearing my words, Wolf rubbed his eyes, looking somewhat tired. Then, he drove very fast all the way to the provincial capital, only gradually slowing down after exiting the highway.

As the car entered the provincial capital and I saw the familiar scenery along the roadside, I felt a surge of emotion. Even though I am now the head of the Wang family, I still cherish the place where I grew up.

My aunt was the same; she looked at the familiar scenery along the roadside and burst into tears. Everyone longs for home; no matter how well or poorly they do outside, they will always think of the day they return.

Even if my aunt is harsh and realistic, she still misses home sometimes. She's not a bad person. Just a harsh and realistic one. At least when I was at her house, she would give me a meal, and when I was sick, she would take me to the hospital and spend huge sums on medical bills to keep me alive. I hate how badly my aunt treated me when I was little, but seeing how pitiful she is, I don't hate her as much anymore.

"Wang Xi, is that ordinary house you mentioned our house?" My aunt secretly wiped away her tears and then asked me in a low voice.

"Yes, I bought it. I've been waiting for you to come back, but I've never seen you return," I said.

"Can we go take a look first?" my aunt asked me.

"Let's go take a look first," I said.

Although he captured me, the wolf obeyed me. If it weren't for those three conditions, the wolf would be no different from my underling. I drove to my aunt's building, and she immediately rushed upstairs. I left the key to my aunt's house in the electrical box in the stairwell. At that time, I thought Zhang Xuan wouldn't come back, and neither would I. When Aurora transferred me to Mingzhu City as a guardian, I left the key in the electrical box.

Next, I followed my aunt and opened the electrical control box. However, when I opened the box, I found that the key was missing.

"Did you lose the key?" My aunt looked at me in surprise when she heard my question.

"Wolf, find a way to open this house," I said.

"Okay." After hearing my words, the wolf immediately went downstairs and searched around. Then he brought back a thin wire and started prying at the keyhole.

A moment later, with a loud bang, the wolf flung open the door to his aunt's house.

When the door opened, my aunt immediately went inside, and I followed. When we went inside, we found that my aunt's house was spotless, and a girl was sleeping peacefully on the sofa in the living room.

When the girl opened her eyes after we woke her up, she saw me and a sweet smile appeared on her face. "Wang Xi, I've finally waited for you..."

Chapter 421 Dislikes Boating

It was Zhang Shixue; several months had passed since I last saw her. She was still as gentle and introverted as ever, still as captivating as ever. Now a university student, she exuded a more mature charm. Seeing her after so many months was a refreshing surprise.

And I still remember the promise I made with her.

That day at her house, I had already decided to reject her. But seeing how happy she was, I couldn't bring myself to hurt her.

"If I come back again, and if you don't mind that I have a family, then I will take you back to the Wang family." These were the words I said to Zhang Shixue before I left.

I had been waiting for Zhang Xuan, but I never imagined that someone else was waiting for me too. After Zhang Xuan left, I often cleaned her house, keeping it spotless. But after I left, she secretly went to Zhang Xuan's house, thinking it was mine, and cleaned it just as spotlessly.

Just feeling Zhang Shixue's pure aura warmed my heart. The room was filled with a warm atmosphere, making me constantly long for home. I felt an irresistible urge to return.

If I hadn't come back, I think Zhang Shixue would probably have waited for me her whole life.

Thinking of this, I strode towards Zhang Shixue and gently embraced her warm, soft body. A pang of indescribable heartache welled up inside me. "I'm sorry for making you wait so long..."

"I only love you, and I'm willing to wait for you forever."

Although Zhang Shixue's words were simple, they were probably the most touching love confessions I had ever heard. I smiled and nodded gently. I hugged her even tighter.

"..." Seeing me hugging another girl who was her daughter, my aunt's expression was indescribably strange.

I had most of the Desert Wolves wait downstairs while my aunt, Zhang Shixue, Wolf, and two of his men rested in the living room.

As Wolf, his two other henchmen, and I were smoking, my aunt thought for a moment and asked me, "Wang Xi, you're not divorced?"

“I didn’t, and Xi’er and I already have a child,” I said.

"What? He even has a child?" Upon hearing my words, my aunt immediately looked at Zhang Shixue in surprise. "Child, do you know that Wang Xi already has a wife? He's a married man?"

"I know." Zhang Shixue blushed and nodded gently.

"So, you're still willing to be with him? Aren't you afraid his wife will come after you? Does your family agree?" Auntie asked.

“I like him, and I want to be with him. Xi’er is a wonderful girl, very cute and beautiful. She’s very generous and doesn’t mind that I like Wang Xi. My parents know that I like Wang Xi, and they respect my choice.” Zhang Shixue blushed as she played with her slender, white fingers, looking at them as she spoke.

"..." Aunt's face turned somewhat ugly after hearing Zhang Shixue's words.

After my aunt glanced at me furtively, she thought about it and felt relieved.

Many wealthy men nowadays have wives at home and mistresses on the side. And those mistresses know that the wealthy man has a wife, but they don't seem to mind.

Why? Because they're rich. In fact, many beautiful women will even fight over rich men, completely ignoring their philandering ways.

And I'm so young, yet I'm already one of the world's top figures. Forget about money, my looks rival those of some second or third-tier celebrities. Moreover, my aura is becoming increasingly refined, and my personality is becoming more and more easygoing. A man like that would have many women attracted to him. Zhang Shixue isn't attracted to my money or my status, but to my appearance. Those fat, ugly old men have a swarm of beautiful women chasing after them; it's perfectly reasonable that someone as young as Wang Xi would have some female admirers.

Fine, since Zhang Xuan likes him, let her be.

Thinking of this, my aunt felt a little tired and didn't want to bother with this trivial matter anymore. As for her now, she was already reluctant to return to the Wang family with me to live a life of luxury. It was too dangerous to stay with the Wang family; she might even suffer mistreatment there. After Wang Xi sent those thugs away, she decided to stay in the countryside near the provincial capital, buy a house, and live a peaceful life.

I've been struggling for most of my life.

Yes, no matter what, I can't go back to the Wang family with Wang Xi.

"Young Master, if there's nothing else, please go to your other room. My brothers need to rest after such a long journey." The wolf's eyes were a little red, and he lay on the sofa, half asleep.

“Okay, I’ll take you to my other house. You can let Zhang Shixue go,” I said.

"No, I want to be with you!" Zhang Shixue said immediately after hearing my words.

"With me? Zhang Shixue, I've been captured by them, I'm a hostage, what would you do with me?" I was slightly taken aback.

"Wang Xi, you promised me that as long as we return to the provincial capital, you would take me back to your Wang family. I want to be with you, even if it means being arrested," Zhang Shixue said, looking at me with unwavering eyes.

"This……"

Looking into Zhang Shixue's determined eyes, I couldn't help but frown slightly. After thinking for a moment, I extinguished my cigarette and said, "Alright, then you can stay with me."

I know Zhang Shixue's personality; she's a girl who appears gentle but is incredibly stubborn inside. Once she's made up her mind, no one can change it.

It was her persistence that moved me, so I stopped arguing with her and agreed to let her come back to Xi'er's old house with me.

"What are you laughing at? You've been arrested and you're still so happy?" On the way back, I asked Zhang Shixue, looking at her sweet expression, with a hint of annoyance.

“I like it. As long as you're with me, I'll be happy no matter where we are,” Zhang Shixue said, making a face at me.

"Haha, you're a college student now, but you still act like a child." Seeing Zhang Shixue so happy, I shook my head helplessly.

Soon, I led Wolf and his men to my villa. Everyone was exhausted; as soon as they arrived, they lay down on the ground and closed their eyes, ready to fall asleep in a few seconds. Wolf, a professional mercenary, though equally tired, still woke everyone up and gave them a good scolding. Then, he assigned six men, two to a group, to guard me, Zhang Shixue, and my aunt. He also strapped bombs to our bodies, with Wolf personally holding the remote control.

“Your Highness, I apologize, but because you are a powerful being above all gods, I must treat you this way,” the wolf said respectfully to me.

"I would have done the same if I were in your shoes," I said with a smile.

"Yes." The wolf nodded gently.

He assigned four men to guard the perimeter, two visible sentries and two covert ones. Wolf felt somewhat relieved. Then, he let the remaining men rest, rotating every four hours. He didn't sleep, personally watching over me as he sat beside me. I glanced at my aunt and Zhang Shixue, who had been taken to another room, thought for a moment, then lay down on the bed and closed my eyes.

I slept for a while. When I woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. This villa area was quiet to begin with, and after I woke up, the whole house was even quieter than I imagined.

Seeing that the wolf was still awake, I looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother Wolf, aren't you sleepy?"

“Young Master, you are a very important person. I cannot relax for a moment until you are on the ship. Contact your uncle and have him take men to get us to the ship. Once he gets us there, I can finally get some rest,” the wolf said.

"Thank you for your trouble. I'll contact my uncle now."

I called the phone the wolf had given me, and my uncle arrived with his men in less than an hour. As before, when his convoy arrived, one of his henchmen immediately ran out and set off a string of firecrackers. Then, the henchman lit a cigarette to ignite the firecrackers.

Accompanied by a series of crackling sounds, his uncle, dressed in a Tang suit, stepped out of the car. His other uncle, dressed in a dragon robe, was still by his side, his face marred by a particularly menacing scar.

A large group of people strode into the villa, and as soon as they saw my uncle, they hugged me tightly. "Good child, your uncle is so glad to see you again. I've seen the photos of Little Ye Gege. Your mother sent them to me. She's very beautiful, and looks just like you and Xi'er."

"Uncle, I missed you so much." My uncle hugged me tightly, and I couldn't help but reach out and hug him back.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, I quickly said to my uncle, "Uncle, this is a wolf, the leader of the desert wolves, and these twenty-odd men are his brothers. I want to take them abroad, so please arrange a boat to take us there."

"No problem." My uncle laughed when he heard what I said. He didn't know these people were the thugs who arrested me; he thought they were my friends.

I made a casual phone call, and my uncle led his convoy to escort us to the nearest port. We drove for three hours, and although Wolf was very tired, he still insisted on staying awake.

Finally, our convoy arrived at the port closest to the provincial capital. As the vehicles came to a stop, Wolf's men immediately cheered loudly. Wolf himself was incredibly excited and looked at me with gratitude, saying, "Young Master, you truly are a man of your word. Let's go. Once we're on the ship, I can give you even better treatment."

I didn't move after hearing Wolf's words. I smiled and lit a cigarette while looking at the large ship not far away. "Wolf, two years ago, it was my first time on a ship. I was on the Long family's luxury cruise ship, and I was incredibly happy. We drank, recited poetry, and felt like we were on the pinnacle of life. But we were attacked by pirates and stranded on a small island. In the end, we drifted at sea for seven days and seven nights, and I almost died of thirst."

At this point, I looked into the wolf's eyes and gave it a meaningful look.

"Young Master, what do you mean?" Seemingly understanding my gaze, a hint of wariness appeared in the wolf's eyes.

“I’m terrified of boats, I especially dislike them. I won’t go on a boat unless it’s something very important. So, please leave on your own. I won’t be leaving with you.” I smiled.
