Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 270 Admiration (Second Update)

Xu Xuezi called Xiao’ou over, "Xiao’ou, where is my navy-collared dress?"

"Miss, it’s right here. Miss, are you going out now?" Xiao’ou helped Xu Xuezi find a light blue dress with a white collar, the most popular navy-collared dress of the year.

This kind of dress usually didn’t look good on everyone, but the miss was quiet and had large, expressive eyes. With her hair in two braids, no one knew just how lovely she looked.

The sudden desire to wear this dress must mean she was going to meet someone important.

Xiao’ou handed the dress to her mistress, eyes smiling as she watched her, "Miss, are you going to see Young Master Gu?"

Xu Xuezi took the dress, glancing at her, "You know too much."

"Miss, Young Master Gu is a bit too reclusive. He’s been back in the Imperial Capital for so many days and hasn’t come to see you." Xiao’ou had grown up beside Xu Xuezi and naturally knew her inner thoughts.

"That’s just his personality. Expecting him to take the initiative would mean waiting for the sun to rise in the west. I’ve thought about it; who takes the initiative doesn’t really matter." Xu Xuezi changed into the light blue dress, which made her skin look even more delicate, "Help me comb my hair into two braids, and put on this kind of hair flower."

She had a brief meeting with Acheng last time, and Acheng definitely hadn’t noticed her. So today, she took the initiative to go to the Gu Family to find Acheng.

She wanted to have a good chat with Acheng.

She also wanted to confirm that there must be something wrong with her grandfather’s words.

Acheng was such a good young man; how could he possibly not like women? Grandfather must be lying to her, she didn’t believe it and didn’t want to believe it.

So, she was eager to see Acheng now, to prove that he wasn’t what her grandfather described and that her own passionate efforts were not in vain.

"Yes." Last time, Xiao’ou helped her with her hair and makeup to make her red lips look even more enticing.

The reflection in the mirror showed a youthful, playful yet demure appearance, her large eyes almost seeming to speak, twinkling away.

"I’m sorry, Miss Xu." Gu’s butler looked at Xu Xuezi, apologetic, "I’m sorry, our young master is not here, I’m afraid I may have to disappoint you."

"Where did Acheng go?"

"Young Master is helping the Quan Family look for their children, and right now, it’s uncertain where he is." The whereabouts of the young master would not be disclosed to them.

Xu Xuezi of course understood that Acheng had recently taken over the case of the disappearance of the Quan Family’s boy and girl twins, and guessed that he was also fully engaged in the search.

She nodded slightly, smiling to the butler, "Gu butler, when Acheng returns, please tell him I was looking for him. If he has time, he can come and find me."

Xu Xuezi felt a pang of disappointment; Acheng had left again, and where he went was unknown. Like numerous times before, she came with hope and left with disappointment.

Xiao’ou looked at her mistress who had prepared carefully, feeling anxious on her behalf.

The miss was already twenty-three.

Most of her friends were already married and focusing on their households, while she still foolishly waited for Young Master Gu.

Young Master Gu, too; after accepting the letter from the miss, whether he would marry her or not, he ought to say something.

If after three years Young Master Gu still does not marry the miss, what should she do?

Xu Xuezi turned to get into the car.

A car stopped at the entrance of the Gu Family.

Xu Xuezi watched as Ye Fei got out of the car, feeling especially delighted.

It was Ye Fei; if Ye Fei was in the car, Acheng must be there as well. She quickened her steps, running over with a face full of anticipation looking at the rear car door.

As soon as the car door opened, the name Acheng was on the verge of escaping her lips.

Quan Nianfeng got out of the car, meeting Xu Xuezi’s face full of anticipation and calling Acheng’s name, some people just don’t understand, clinging to Acheng every day.

He smirked playfully, "It’s Miss Xu, isn’t it? Miss Xu, Acheng is not in our car, I’m afraid you might be disappointed."

Xu Xuezi had thought the person getting out of the car would be Acheng, not expecting it would be the Quan Family’s Sanbao.

"So it’s Nianfeng." Xu Xuezi withdrew her smile, "Where have you all been these days? Your family was worried to death about you."

"You’re telling me. Who knows who was so kind-hearted to send us out for fun without even telling my parents; if it weren’t for Brother Yecheng picking us up, we might still be out playing somewhere." Nianfeng looked at Xu Xuezi’s attire, blinked happily, "Miss Xu, you look really beautiful today, just like a wife waiting for her husband to come home."

Quan Nianyan got out of the car, listening to Nianfeng’s words and said indifferently, "Nianfeng, you can eat messily, but you can’t speak recklessly. Our Miss Xu isn’t married yet, how could she possibly be a young wife? Be careful with your words, or you might upset Miss Xu."

Listening to the boy and girl twins vocally duetting, Xu Xuezi felt an inexplicable irritation. These two little brats were definitely doing it on purpose.

As if they could provoke me with their little tricks, no chance, "Nianfeng, Nianyan, it seems I still hold a significant place in your hearts for you to care so much about my marriage."

"Of course we care," Nianfeng sighed. "After all, a woman’s value diminishes with age. At Sister Xu’s age, if she doesn’t marry soon, we really worry whether Sister Xu can marry her ideal man."

Xu Xuezi didn’t want to waste words with the twins, and looked in the car, "Acheng went to pick you up, where’s Acheng?"

"How unfortunate, Brother Yecheng had to go out for something, and it seems he won’t be seeing Sister Xu in all her coquettish glory. Don’t worry, Sister Xu, once Brother Yecheng returns, I’ll definitely tell him exactly that you came looking for him," Nianfeng said in a tone that suggested Yecheng was her own brother.

But Yecheng wasn’t.

Nianyan was her real brother, her sibling brother.

Xu Xuezi looked at Quan Nianfeng, growing ever more graceful and poised, and a wild thought sprouted in her mind; Nianfeng was already sixteen, just two years shy of eighteen.

Could it be that this girl, like herself, harbored those kinds of feelings toward Yecheng?

She definitely did, otherwise, this girl wouldn’t act like a hedgehog every time she saw her, uncomfortable unless she pricked her with a few words.

Grinning diplomatically, "Alright, when Acheng returns, you tell him, and say I’ve got something to tell him when he’s back. You’ve been missing for several days, hurry back home, your parents must be missing you terribly."

They come straight to the Gu Family’s home and not their own upon returning, what’s the meaning of this?

Nianfeng blinked, "Sister Xu, didn’t you know? My parents are at the Gu Family’s home right now."

Xu Xuezi: "..."

With a cold snort, she walked away.

She and Nianfeng never got along, not aligning even in brief exchanges.

Watching Xu Xuezi leave, Quan Nianfeng pursed her lips, "Where does Xu Xuezi get the confidence that Brother Yecheng would like her?"

"She still doesn’t know about the letter she wrote to Brother Yecheng that you hid years ago. If she finds out it was you, your good days would be over," Quan Nianyan said, looking at his sister with a half-smile.

This sister always clashed with Xu Xuezi.

Of course, he didn’t like Xu Xuezi either.

"Hmph," Quan Nianfeng snorted coldly. "Brother Yecheng is mine, and no one else can have him."

"Forget about it, you’re underage and already talking about dating," Quan Nianyan shook his head, clearly not believing his sister’s claim.

"Anyway, Brother Yecheng can like anyone, just not Xu Xuezi." Xu Xuezi was far too insincere to deserve Brother Yecheng.

Alas, she was just too young. If her sister hadn’t died, she would be of marrying age now, possibly even a match Brother Yecheng could like.

Thinking of the sister she never met, who had died right after birth, filled Quan Nianfeng’s heart with sorrow.

"Affairs of the heart, Brother Yecheng will handle them himself. You don’t need to worry about it," Quan Nianyan was really fed up with his sister’s meddling.

If Brother Yecheng also liked Sister Xu, then things would really get out of hand.

Thinking this, Quan Nianyan felt a severe headache. Why did he have to deal with such a troublesome sister?

"I didn’t do anything?" Quan Nianfeng said nonchalantly, stepping further inside: "Brother Ye Fei, do you think there’s anything between Brother Yecheng and Xu Xuezi?"

Born with an angelic, unworldly beauty, yet who knew how dark her heart might be.

She had seen her scratch another woman’s face with a knife just because that woman had looked at Brother Yecheng a few times too many.

Since then, she had been determined to keep Brother Yecheng away from that devil; it was just too horrific.

Ye Fei couldn’t have imagined getting drawn into the siblings’ battlefield.

He wasn’t sure whom the young master liked, but the young master was indeed a married man. Even if he were to marry someone else, he would have to get a divorce first. With a wry smile, "You two little devils, Mr. Quan and Mrs. Quan are frantic with worry over you, and here you are leisurely meddling in our young master’s affairs."

"Just tell us whether there’s anything between Brother Yecheng and Xu Xuezi." Quan Nianfeng wasn’t about to let Ye Fei gloss over the issue: "Hurry up and say it."

Ye Fei felt powerless. Why was the Quan Family’s Sanbao so persistent about the young master and Xu Xuezi? Could he truly be enamored with the young master?
