My Arrogant Young Lady

“I will not marry anyone else. I will only spend my life with Princess Xiaoye,” An Yao said.

"Fine, then get out of here. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. I'm no longer your brother, and you're no longer my sister. The Wang family has nothing to do with An Yao, and Wang Xi has nothing to do with An Yao!" I said coldly.

"Enough!" Tong Jialing'er immediately stood up.

"Shut up!" I said coldly to Tong Jialing'er.

Tong Jialing'er has never been obedient to me, and she has never taken my status or position seriously. She never expected me to dare to order her around. Tong Jialing'er's eyes immediately filled with anger as she looked at me.

Then, Tong Jialing'er drew her sword immediately. "Wang Xi, do you think you're the strongest person in the world now, the only one who matters?"

"You can try," a cold laugh rang out. I took out the jade flute I carried.

Even without the King Serpent by my side, I can now fight any powerful opponent. And after this period of recuperation, my mental attack power is even higher than before. With a mere wave of my hand, I can easily create an illusion array. And masters of mental attacks are the natural nemesis of martial artists.

Tong Jialing'er, she's no match for me at all.

Seeing that Tong Jialing'er and I were about to come to blows, An Yao suddenly said in an icy voice, "Forget it..."

That "forget it" seemed to carry An Yao's endless helplessness. She smiled and looked at me. An Yao looked at me seriously and said, "Brother, you are already a great hero, the head of the Wang family, and the leader of the martial arts alliance. Now you can turn the world upside down with a flick of your wrist, and no one can be your match."

"Now that you have such a noble status and outstanding temperament, you will attract many girls wherever you go. But, the moment An Yao saw you, she fell deeply in love with you. I told myself that no matter how much I had to give, no matter what the cost, An Yao would help you become the head of the Wang family and inherit your father's throne. And now An Yao has succeeded. You are even more outstanding than An Yao imagined. You no longer need An Yao."

"Brother, do you remember what An Yao said to you? 'To have you is my fortune, to lose you is my fate.' An Yao has always remembered our identities, and An Yao knows that we can never be together. An Yao, I'll call you 'brother' one last time!" With a smile, An Yao's tears welled up in her eyes.

Then, she gently knelt down in front of me and kowtowed.

The moment I saw An Yao kneeling before me and kowtowing, my heart shattered. She was humiliating me, mocking me. She was my own sister; how could she kneel and kowtow to me like a member of the Wang family? This was the etiquette of a subject of the Wang family to the head of the family. She was subtly implying that I was now of a high status and no longer the Wang Xi I once was.

Once you enter the gates of a noble family, it's like entering a deep sea; from then on, your beloved is just a stranger.

I am a prince, and I must keep my promises. An Yao is also a prince, and she will keep her promises as well.

From now on, she will never call me "brother" again.

As I watched An Yao stand up, she smiled and nodded gently at me. The moment she left the private room, I couldn't help but cough up blood.

My sister... I almost gritted my teeth to pieces, and I couldn't help but burst into tears...

Chapter 428 What's in the Pocket

“Wang Xi’s internal injuries haven’t healed yet. Because of the anger, his internal energy was thrown into chaos, which is why he got sick. Zhang Xuan, Ling’er, please don’t hate Wang Xi. Wang Xi really can’t be with An Yao. He’s also very sad that his relationship with An Yao has turned out this way. Please forgive him and don’t be angry with him…” Sitting by my bedside, Zhu Que couldn’t help but sigh softly.

As for me, I fell ill that very night after An Yao left. I felt utterly weak, completely devoid of energy. My body was limp, and I felt indescribably uncomfortable. After only one night's sleep, I discovered my throat was swollen. Every word I uttered felt like a knife scraping against my throat.

I heard An Yao didn't go back to the An family, nor to her uncle's house, nor to the Wang family. Where did she go? How is she doing now?

"Heh, Wang Xi is just reaping what he sowed. Who An Yao likes is none of her business. She's meddling too much, even interfering in other people's lives. I can't be bothered with her, I'm going to find An Yao." Zhang Xuan gave me only a cold glance before leaving my room.

"Zhang Xuan, if you dare to go to An Yao, I'll divorce you." My throat hurt terribly as soon as I opened my mouth, and I said in a hoarse voice as I saw Zhang Xuan about to leave.

"Oh my, now you're rich, so powerful. You want to divorce me? Go ahead!" Zhang Xuan turned around and mocked me before leaving my room.

"I'll go find An Yao too." After thinking for a moment, Tong Jialing'er disappeared from the room.

"Brother, why don't we go find An Yao too? An Yao looked very sad when she left, I'm afraid she might do something foolish..." Wang Xiaojiu whispered to Wang Kun.

Hearing Wang Xiaojiu's words, my heart skipped a beat. In an instant, I felt an indescribable worry.

After hearing Wang Xiaojiu's words, Wang Kun thought for a moment and glanced at me and Zhuque. Zhuque smiled and said to Wang Kun, "Wang Kun, you two go find An Yao. Wang Xi won't blame you."

"Okay." Nodding, Wang Kun left with Wang Xiaojiu.

After everyone went to look for An Yao, I thought for a moment and looked sadly at Nie Xiaohai, saying, "Nie Xiaohai, I will definitely marry An Yao to you. There is no possibility between An Yao and me. Don't worry, I will definitely marry An Yao to you..."

"Brother Xi...you should get some rest..." After hearing my words, Nie Xiaohai nodded heavily, looking preoccupied.

"Aunt, once we've settled An Yao's matter, I'll take you back to the Wang family," I said, looking at my uncle and aunt.

"Take me back to the Wang family?" My aunt trembled upon hearing my words.

"Yes," I said.

“Why are you taking me back to the Wang family? I’m not going,” my aunt said quickly.

"Not going?" I asked.

"Yes, your identities are too dangerous. People are always trying to kill you, with guns and cannons. And even if you're caught, they won't dare touch you. It's always us ordinary folks who suffer. I'm not going. Besides, your Wang family is too rich. I'm from a completely different world. If I went to your Wang family, I'd be constantly bullied. I'm not going. I've already discussed it with your uncle. We'll go back to Mingzhu City, sell the house, and then buy a house in the small village near the provincial capital. We'll raise chickens, grow vegetables, and live a peaceful life. Anyway, Zhang Xuan is yours now. I'll be content if she can live a good life. You should take Zhang Xuan with you to the Wang family. I'm not going," said Auntie.

"No, you have to go. I always keep my word," I said with a hoarse voice. Then, I couldn't help but cough loudly.

“You’re sick, all you rich people are sick. You’re not normal. I have things to do, I have to go…” Thinking about how I pressured An Yao, my aunt’s face turned pale. Then she looked at me with fear in her eyes, grabbed my uncle, and hurriedly left.

"Sigh..." After her uncle and aunt left, Zhuque shook her head helplessly and sighed softly. Then she gently stroked my face and said to Zhang Shixue, "Wang Xi needs to rest, so I'll leave him in your care. I'll take Qinglong and Baihu to find An Yao. We'll be back tonight."

"Okay." Zhang Shixue nodded obediently after hearing Zhuque's words.

Zhuque and Zhang Shixue are both exceptionally gentle girls, but Zhuque is shrewd and capable, while Zhang Shixue is introverted and doesn't like to talk much. A girl like that would definitely suffer a lot if she joined an ancient imperial palace. But fortunately, my wives are all of good character; they don't scheme or get jealous. Sometimes they might use a little cleverness, but only to make a joke.

Knowing Zhang Shixue was shy, and that if Zhuque and the others didn't offer me to her, Zhang Shixue would have very few opportunities to be alone with me, Zhuque gave her the chance to take care of me while she took Qinglong and the others to find An Yao.

After everyone had left, and only Zhang Shixue was left in the room to take care of me, I thought for a moment and said to Zhang Shixue, "Shixue, do you think I did something wrong?"

“You’re not wrong, and neither is An Yao. The problem lies in the relationship between you two,” Zhang Shixue said.

Hearing Zhang Shixue's words, I felt sad again. Then, I looked out the window at the sky.

I remember when An Yao found me, it was almost this time of year. Back then, I didn't feel winter was particularly cold. My heart was always warm. But now, my heart is as cold as the wind outside the window.

"If you don't pressure An Yao, will she really never get married in her life?" Zhang Shixue asked me after thinking for a moment.

"Yes," I said.

"An Yao's life is too hard." After hearing my words, Zhang Shixue thought for a moment and gently leaned against me.

Feeling Zhang Shixue's warm body temperature, I gently hugged her. Gazing quietly out the window, I lit a cigarette after a moment's thought.

However, as soon as I took a puff of the cigarette, my throat felt an indescribable, sharp pain. After thinking for a moment, I put out the cigarette.

He gave Zhang Shixue a wry smile. "Without An Yao, even smoking feels tasteless."

"I hope they can find An Yao," Zhang Shixue said with a wry smile.

That night, Zhang Shixue stayed in my room, keeping me company all night. I was heartbroken thinking about An Yao. I stared at the ceiling, my heart heavy with sorrow, and didn't sleep a wink.

Zhang Shixue's company lessened my loneliness considerably. The next morning, when Zhang Shixue went to prepare breakfast for me, I saw that Zhuque, Tong Jialing'er, and the others had all returned. Even Emperor Zhao had mobilized his forces to search the entire north for An Yao.

Seeing them return, I immediately sat up. "How was it? Did you find it?"

"No." Zhuque shook her head gently after hearing my words.

There had been no news of An Yao for a day and two nights. After hearing Zhu Que's words, I finally started to worry. I was angry as I was, but if anything happened to An Yao, I would never forgive myself.

Thinking of this, I immediately got out of bed. Seeing my state, Zhuque quickly said to me, "Wang Xi, you should rest for a bit. Let's go find An Yao."

"No, I'm worried." I got up, not even caring about my face, and left the room. Then, I drove around the entire provincial capital searching for An Yao.

I went to Tang Ning's house, and to our old school. There were also many places An Yao used to like to go, but I couldn't find her there.

Meanwhile, I called An Yao many times, but no one answered. I know An Yao's personality best; even though I treated her this way, she still wouldn't go far. In fact, it's very possible that she's hiding in the shadows, secretly watching me. But now, no matter how hard everyone searches, they can't find her. Zhu Que, Tong Jia Ling'er, and Qing Long are all experts at finding people, and even they can't find An Yao. I'm starting to get anxious.

I couldn't find An Yao even after dark. So I ran to the rooftop of a building and looked down at the bustling commercial street. In the vast sea of ​​people, I tried to search for a little girl with long, silver-white hair. But after standing on the rooftop in the cold wind for two whole hours, I still couldn't find An Yao.

I felt a bit tired, and a sense of despondency crept into my heart. However, just as I was about to get into the car, I suddenly noticed something extra in my pocket.

I glanced at what I had taken out of my pocket with a puzzled look, and my mind went completely blank...

Chapter 429, Part 1

Sitting in the living room, everyone's face was grave. The clock struck, and I tapped a card on the coffee table with my index finger, saying, "This was the first thing he put in my pocket. I don't even know when he put it in."

"Number one? That's an arrogant name. Damn it, let's give him face. Let's call the brothers and give him a good beating, then he won't dare to call himself number one anymore." Young Master Bao said coldly, picking up the card on the table.

Just as I was searching for An Yao and hadn't found her, I was about to go home to check on her when I found a card in my pocket.

And on that card were written a sentence that chilled me to the bone: "I will take your most precious treasure as compensation."

The signature is "first".

Just as An Yao disappeared, First came to take revenge on me. Seeing that Young Master Bao didn't know who First was, Wang Kun quickly explained, "Young Master Bao, there's a saying: 'It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.' Although the Wang family is very powerful now, First is also a formidable figure. If Oda Seiji is the strongest criminal, then First is the most cunning. Furthermore, his own strength is not low; more than a decade ago, he was already a master above the level of gods. Now, he's at least at the Heartbeat level."

"Around the level of being moved?" Young Master Bao was surprised to hear Wang Kun's words.

“Yes, just three years ago, I heard that First stole a precious treasure from Europe. That treasure was the prized possession of the Twelve Golden Knights, and its loss enraged them. They then sent seven Heartbeat-level experts to hunt him down, but I heard that First escaped easily. He's very cunning; I heard that no prison can hold him,” Wang Kun said.

"Wow, that's amazing!" After hearing Wang Kun's words, Young Master Bao finally understood why I was worried.

An Yao is now missing, her fate unknown. We've been searching for her for almost two days and two nights, and we're all very worried about her. And now, at this critical juncture, First is seeking revenge on me, which makes my situation even worse. My mind is entirely focused on An Yao; if First wants to deal with me, I'm no match for him.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Heilong thought for a moment and immediately said to me, "Brother Xi, what should we do?"

After hearing Heilong's words, I solemnly picked up the small card and glanced at it. After thinking for a moment, I said to everyone, "The smartest person in the Wang family is actually Wang Che. And the one most skilled at tracking is Wang You. Let's make a call and invite Wang Che and Wang You over. No, let's bring Wang Huan, Liuli, and Wang Yu along too."

Feeling so tired, I tossed the card onto the coffee table and said.

An Yao's disappearance and her seeking revenge against me immediately drew the attention of the Wang family. That very evening, Wang Che, Wang Huan, Wang You, Liu Li, and Wang Yu arrived from the Wang family, bringing with them the four hall masters of the Wang family and Mount Everest.

Another sleepless night, and it was already dawn when they arrived in their private jet. Upon seeing my haggard appearance, the Earth Fire said helplessly, "Young Master, our Wang family has always had the best relationship between you and An Yao. How did you manage to cause the Second Miss to disappear? What happened? Why did the Second Miss disappear?"

Hearing Di Huo's accusations, I just frowned and remained silent. Seeing my expression, Zhang Xuan said from the side, "Speak up, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Wang Xi wanted to marry An Yao off, but An Yao refused, so Wang Xi drove her away. We've been looking for An Yao for two days and two nights now, and we still haven't found her," Zhu Que said for me.

"What? The young master wants to marry An Yao off? To whom?" Di Huo exclaimed in shock.

"Marry me." Nie Xiaohai said helplessly.

Both in terms of family background and character, Nie Xiaohai is a good choice. Di Huo, however, was completely taken aback that I would marry An Yao to Nie Xiaohai, and he became incredibly embarrassed.

Wang You was decisive and meticulous. Without dwelling on why An Yao had disappeared, Wang You immediately asked, "On what day and what time did Second Sister disappear?"

"She went missing two days ago, around 5 p.m.? 5:50 p.m.?" I said, trying to recall the scene that day.

“Two days is enough time for Second Sister to reach another country. If she hasn’t gone abroad, then she must be nearby. Now, our biggest concern is whether Second Sister has fallen into the hands of the First. The First is an extremely cunning criminal; his thinking is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. It’s very possible that Second Sister has already fallen into his hands. It’s also possible that she hasn’t. If we catch the First, and if Second Sister isn’t in his hands, finding her will be much easier,” Wang You analyzed earnestly.

"Wang You, do you mean to find the first one first, and then find the second sister?" Wang Che's beautiful eyes sparkled.

"Yes." Wang You nodded slightly, her eyes cold.

"This card is from Las Vegas, and the handwriting on it is from a regular ballpoint pen. As for the smell, Wang Huan, take a sniff..." Wang Che smiled and handed the card to Wang Huan.

"Why should I smell it?" Wang Huan immediately became unhappy after hearing Wang Che's words.

"I don't like the smell of men's things," Wang Che said.
