My Arrogant Young Lady

"Brother, although Xi'er is willful, she has a good character and is very kind. Now that you two have finally met, I won't disturb you any longer. But don't bully Xi'er too much, and don't keep saying things like 'announce the engagement' to hurt her feelings. The Yehenara family is very powerful. She has six aunts, and each of them married very well, either to a billionaire or a powerful figure. The Yehenara clan has even produced three empresses and two imperial concubines. The girls of the Yehenara family live their lives for their partners. If you really treat her badly, she will be very sad, and she will be disliked even when she returns to the Yehenara family."

“Xi’er, she is not only your fiancée, but also the girl your mother carefully chose for you. She is a true noblewoman, and our Wang family’s marriage alliance with the Yehenara family is a great honor. If she marries you, she will definitely be a devoted wife. If you lose her, you may never find such a good wife again in your life. Please cherish her.” An Yao said to me.

"Hmm..." I said.

"Then you two get along well, An Yao won't bother you any longer."

When An Yao hung up the phone, an indescribable feeling welled up inside me. Thinking about Xi'er's strong personality, yet the occasional hint of grievance in her eyes... I suddenly felt like a scumbag. Xi'er, she truly is an excellent fiancée. And I, I am not a qualified fiancé.

Was I really wrong? I should have listened to my parents. I should have treated Xi'er well and let her help me inherit the Wang family business. But if I really chose Xi'er, what about Zhang Xuan? Did I really have to go through all that trouble to win her over, only to suddenly dump her? Break her heart, make her sad because of me?

Thinking about this, I felt another headache coming on. I shook my head and picked out a pair of cotton socks for Xi'er in the walk-in closet. Xi'er's closet was large, and she had many different kinds of clothes. As for her socks, she had many styles. I chose cotton socks for her because it's cold at home in winter. Even though the floor is heated by underfloor heating, I was still worried she'd catch a cold if she went barefoot.

I also grabbed a few blankets and mattresses before going downstairs to find Xi'er and the others. As I came down, I saw them staring intently at me. Deliberately putting on a fierce expression, I glared at them and said, "What are you looking at? Want to experience the power of the Wang family's Ten Great Tortures again?"

"..." Their faces flushed red, and none of them said a word.

Seeing that they didn't speak, I spread the mattress and blankets on the floor. Then I carried them onto the thick mattress, and then I took out their cotton socks for spring, summer, autumn and winter and put them back on their feet.

"Mine is green, and hers is pink!"

"I know, what's all the noise about!" I glared at them, then looked at Xi'er, who was at the very end.

As I held Xi'er's little feet in my hands and put cotton socks on her, I don't know why, but my breathing suddenly became tense, and my heart started pounding. Xi'er's feet were not only snow-white, but also as smooth and tender as lychees. Gently holding her little feet, I felt as if they were made of water. I even felt an urge to hold her little feet in my arms and cherish them.

I know my thoughts are a bit perverse, it's a kind of illness. But Xi'er's little feet are just too tempting. I really have a hard time controlling myself.

I don't know why, but ever since I met Xi'er, I've found myself unconsciously thinking about her. Maybe it's because she's beautiful, or maybe it's because I know she's my fiancée. Even though I tell myself I like Zhang Xuan, I still can't help wanting to care about her.

I gently held her little feet. I felt they were icy cold. Then I warmed them up a bit before putting socks on her.

"I'm going to take a nap now. You guys are sleepy too, so take a nap as well. No mischief allowed, understand?" I looked up and said to Xi'er and the others in a stern tone.

"Mmm." At this moment, Xi'er looked obedient, her face flushed.

"So, I'm going to sleep?" I suddenly couldn't bring myself to be stern, and asked her softly.

"I need to go to the restroom, I've been holding it in for so long," Xi'er said, her face turning even redder as she looked at me with embarrassment.

"Need to use the restroom?" I asked in surprise.

“Yes, let Xi’er go to the restroom. Xi’er won’t lie to you, she won’t take the opportunity to run away. If you don’t trust Xi’er, you can go to the restroom with her… Anyway, Xi’er is your fiancée, she’ll be yours sooner or later…” Xi’er looked at me seriously and said.

"This..." I couldn't help but frown after hearing Xi'er's words. "Alright, I believe you!"

As I spoke, I untied some of Xi'er's ropes. Then we walked towards the bathroom in silence. When we reached the bathroom, my face suddenly flushed. The atmosphere felt awkward, and I looked at Xi'er with embarrassment.

"Xi'er, don't betray my trust in you, do you hear me? I'll untie all the ropes for you right now, and then I won't go in with you." After thinking for a moment, I gently patted her little head.

"Yes, Xi'er is a person who keeps her promises." Xi'er smiled, her eyes warm as she looked at me.

I thought she was so cute, so I started to untie her ropes. But as soon as I untied just one knot, my face changed drastically, and my stomach started to hurt.

"What's wrong with you?" Xi'er looked at me in surprise.

"The cookies I just ate were poisoned!" I yelled, and I felt my whole face turn green.

Chapter 90 The Wizard of Oz

After saying that, I collapsed to the ground with a thud. Then the pain in my stomach intensified, and I screamed in agony. At the same time, my face turned even greener. I even saw my hands gradually turn green as well.

"Damn, what a potent poison!" I roared again.

"Impossible! We just bought these cookies yesterday, and the packaging was intact when we bought them. How could these cookies be poisonous? Wang Xi, are these cookies expired? Go to the bathroom and try them out." Xi'er was still tied up, and she asked me cautiously.

"Impossible. I can distinguish between the feeling of poisoning and the feeling of something being expired. Besides, would my face turn green if I ate expired cookies?" I said, pointing to my face.

"This..." Looking at my green face, Xi'er was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

At that moment, I couldn't help but roll up my sleeve and take a look. I saw my entire arm turning green at a visible speed. If I didn't stop it, I might turn completely green. And I didn't even know it. Would eating this poisonous cookie kill me instantly?

The thought of dying terrified me.

"Strange, the packaging of the cookies you just ate was perfectly intact, and we only bought them yesterday. If those cookies were poisoned, when was the poison added?" Seeing me turning increasingly green, Xi'er frowned and muttered to herself.

"The cookies weren't poisoned; it was Wang Xi's hands that were poisoned." Suddenly, a chilling voice came from the kitchen.

"Who!?" Xi'er's big eyes looked toward the kitchen.

A cold laugh rang out, and a handsome young man emerged from the kitchen. He was tall and imposing, with short hair that gave him a sharp, energetic look. He exuded an air of nobility, much like Xi'er, appearing exceptionally wealthy. He wore a pristine white shirt and a gleaming gold watch on his left wrist. In his right hand, he held a bright red apple, took a large bite, and then smiled at us, revealing his pearly white teeth. "Wang Huan, the second young master of the Wang family!"

"It's you?" Xi'er's body was still tied up by me, and she took two steps back warily as she looked at him.

“It’s me, I’m the second young master of the Wang family. But after today, I might become the eldest young master of the Wang family, the heir apparent.” Wang Huan glanced at me and lightly licked his white teeth.

Watching Wang Huan lick his teeth so fiercely, I gritted my teeth and felt a chill run down my spine.

He exuded an air of nobility, yet he also gave me a chilling feeling. After he emerged from the kitchen, I felt a cold wind creep through the house. I also noticed an ominous black aura emanating from him, as if he were a plague, and that I would suffer misfortune if I were to come into contact with him even for a short time.

Looking at his cold expression and feeling the ominous aura emanating from him, I couldn't help but crawl back a few steps.

"Wang Xi, so this is your fourth son. I've heard of him before. I heard his family is the weakest in the Wang family, only middle class, and they can't offer anything good to curry favor with the Wang family's important officials. The only one who's kind to him is a Taoist priest in the Wang family, but because he's learned a lot of unorthodox methods from that priest, he only uses underhanded tricks to deal with others, and even the head of the family doesn't like him very much." Xi'er blinked her big eyes and whispered to me.

"Keep your voice down. It's so insulting to say that to his face..." Hearing Xi'er's words, cold sweat poured down my forehead.

"Xi'er is telling the truth," Xi'er said to me with her big, innocent eyes still blinking.

"Please, stop talking, he's already angry..." I broke out in a cold sweat even more.

After hearing my words, Xi'er turned and glanced at Wang Huan. Sure enough, she saw that Wang Huan's face had turned pale, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. Seeing this, Xi'er immediately turned and ran. At the same time, she kicked me with her little foot and said, "Wang Xi, quickly untie me!"

Seeing Xi'er start to run, I ignored the excruciating pain in my stomach and scrambled to my feet and ran too. As I ran, I endured the pain to untie the ropes binding her. But before the ropes were even untied, a gust of cold wind swept in from behind us.

I felt a sharp pain in my back, and Xi'er and I were both thrown into the living room.

"How dare you, you unappreciated illegitimate son! How dare you attack me, young lady? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Yehenara family?" Landing on the soft carpet, Xi'er immediately turned around angrily.

"Heh, if no one knows that I killed you, then probably no one can take revenge on me, right?"

Wang Huan emerged from the corridor, his face ashen. As he walked, he gently twisted his neck.

"Young Master, quickly untie us!" Seeing the enemy approaching, the four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, also became anxious.

"Okay, okay..." At this moment, I had completely turned green, and my hands looked terrifyingly green. My stomach hurt even more, and cold sweat kept pouring down my forehead. While agreeing with the four girls, I frantically tried to untie their ropes. But then, I found that my vision was blurring, and the four girls began to appear as eight girls in my eyes.

"Wang Xi, untie my ropes!" Xi'er urged, seeing my dazed expression.

"..." After hearing Xi'er's words, I looked at her again. The Xi'er in my eyes suddenly turned into two Xi'er.

"Hurry, hurry. What are you thinking about? Untie the rope for me!" Seeing me in a daze, Xi'er continued to urge me.

"I... I can't tell which one is you..." I could only feel her voice coming and going, and I knew that I was getting more and more deeply poisoned.

"This is me!" Xi'er leaned against me. Then she handed me her hands, which were tied behind her back.

Touching Xi'er's cold little hand, I immediately began to untie the ropes binding her hands. But before the ropes were even untied, I felt a sudden lightness in my body, and I was thrown violently away again.

Wang Huan, at this moment, appeared as a series of double images before my eyes. Grinning maliciously, he lightly licked his teeth and said, "Young Master, are you having trouble seeing clearly? And are you feeling hot and cold all the time?"

"Yes, what kind of poison is this?" I asked him blankly.

"Hehe, this is a poison I concocted myself. It's called The Wizard of Oz. When you accidentally ingest this poison, your whole body will turn green, and your stomach will ache terribly. But gradually, you'll feel the pain subside and become very comfortable, even feeling like you're floating on air. And at that point, your life will be nearing its end."

"So, am I very talented? Shouldn't someone as talented as me replace you as the heir apparent?" Wang Huan asked me with a sneer.

Hearing Wang Huan's words, I couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise. I realized that my stomach pain had indeed subsided. My body began to alternate between hot and cold, as if I were being immersed in ice water one moment and hot water the next. At the same time, my body began to feel comfortable, and my vision returned.

If I hadn't wiped the wrong thing, I would be even more severely poisoned. Perhaps within minutes, I would collapse and die on the spot.

"Brother, it's an honor to die by my hand. Die in peace. I will inherit your title as heir. Don't be afraid, because I will have them accompany you in heaven. Brother, Xiao Si is actually very good to you. After you become a ghost, please don't come looking for me!" Wang Huan licked his teeth and looked at Xi'er on the ground.

"Damn it, I'll haunt you even when I become a ghost!"

Suddenly, I roared and lunged at Wang Huan. At that moment, my stomach pain subsided, and I had regained my strength. The thought of my impending death fueled my growing hatred. Even if I'm dying, I won't let him get away with it!

"Heh, trash."

When Wang Huan saw me rushing towards him, he showed no sign of nervousness. His expression was dismissive, his eyes filled with disdain. But as I got close, he suddenly struck me with a palm strike. However, at that moment, his expression changed as he looked at me.

Because he hadn't expected me to dodge his attack. Just as his palm was about to strike me, I shifted my stance and easily avoided it. He underestimated me; my training had paid off. Although I wasn't very strong yet, under Leng Yan's tutelage, my body had become increasingly agile.

I dodged his vicious palm strike and immediately fell towards Xi'er. I accidentally knocked her to the ground, and quickly grabbed her and used both hands to untie her ropes. As I untied her ropes, I whispered to her, "Xi'er, I'm about to die, but I can't drag you down with me. Run quickly and tell An Yao to be careful of this beast."

“Wang Xi…” Xi’er’s face flushed when she heard my words.

"Run!" With a final effort, I finally freed her from her ropes and let out a loud shout.

After I untied Xi'er's ropes, another gust of cold wind swept behind me. Feeling the chilling aura, I knew I had nowhere to hide. After a moment's thought, I gritted my teeth and hugged Xi'er tightly. I had made up my mind; even if I died, I would save Xi'er first. Since I was going to die anyway, I would use my body to take the blow for her.

But just as the yin energy was about to strike me, Xi'er's gaze changed. She gently bit her lip and stretched out her arms to hug me tightly. Then, with a powerful roll, she dodged Wang Huan's attack.

My palm struck empty air, and Wang Huan struck again. At that moment, Xi'er pushed me aside, then turned slightly and stood up from the ground.

With a powerful strike, she aimed a heavy blow at Wang Huan's palm. The air itself seemed to ripple as their palms met.

A warm current collided with a cold current, the air in the living room gradually distorted, then slowly returned to calm. Then, Wang Huan took a large step back. After retreating five steps, he gritted his teeth and steadied himself. Blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Xi'er in astonishment and said, "You... you actually possess internal energy?"

“You illegitimate son, Xi’er is the only daughter of the Yehenara family. Xi’er has been carefully nurtured by the family since she was a child. How can Xi’er’s abilities be compared to those of an unimportant illegitimate son like you?” Xi’er’s face was slightly pale, and her voice was icy.

Chapter Ninety-One: Dong'er's Violence

The living room was quiet, utterly silent. It was already broad daylight, and the house's enormous crystal chandelier was gradually losing its luster. Wang Huan stared intently at Xi'er. He didn't continue his attack, nor did he retreat. He had already suffered internal injuries from Xi'er's blows, but his eyes were still filled with resentment.

He was like a ferocious, hungry wolf, intently watching his prey. Even though the antelope before him had already bared its sharp horns, he still wanted to find an opportunity to take it down.

"Hand over the antidote!" Seeing that I was getting more and more poisoned, Xi'er coldly stretched out her small hand.

"You want me to hand over the antidote?" Wang Huan suddenly laughed.

"Yes. Do you still want to continue?" Xi'er asked him coldly.

"Hehe, why wouldn't I fight?" Wang Huan laughed again, staring intently at Xi'er.

"Because you are no match for Xi'er," Xi'er said.

“Young lady of the Yehenara family, you are too confident,” Wang Huan said.

"Shouldn't Xi'er be confident?" Xi'er asked.

“Yes. You really shouldn’t be so confident. The confident one today should be me. Because I consulted a fortune teller before I came, and it was a very auspicious sign. I will definitely win a great victory in today’s battle,” Wang Huan said.

"You actually told your own fortune?" Xi'er exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course. Fate, luck, and feng shui are all part of destiny. Everything in this world is predetermined. And I, Wang Huan, am destined to become the heir apparent. Even though my maternal family is weak within the Wang family, and I have been looked down upon by the adults in the Wang family since I was a child, I am destined to become the head of the Wang family and crush them under my feet!"
