The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 558 - 0: Lose Favor on Both Sides

"Asking for red envelopes when closing the door is a custom here, and once inside, there are several more checkpoints, all demanding red envelopes."

Xu Dong was well-prepared and had his groomsmen take out a stack to stuff inside the door.

The girls inside made a commotion, saying it was too little, and Xu Dong, feeling in his pockets, bargained with them from outside.

Nobody knew who slipped a string of firecrackers inside, and with a crackling bang, the women screamed in shock, and the door was easily opened.

As soon as they entered, the groomsmen met their doom.

The women, holding spray bottles, angrily sprayed a torrent at them.

Long Fei, smiling, quickly shielded Lin Yingying behind him, causing Wang Xiaoya’s heart to sour as she pouted once again.

The last time they came to propose, Lin Yingying had been a great help.

Caicai’s mother didn’t recognize any relatives except for Lin Yingying.

As soon as she and Long Fei entered, Caicai’s mother immediately came over to greet them, wearing a red festive outfit, and took Lin Yingying’s hand with a warm welcome.

On the living room sofa, there were many relatives seated.

Caicai’s mother said proudly to them, "This is the CEO of Lin’s Group and also my daughter’s boss, soon to be family."

The crowd was surprised and quickly got up to greet her.

Some even handed out business cards, suggesting potential collaborations.

Lin Yingying smiled awkwardly and nodded, but actually, she did not like this kind of Huaxia-style social interaction.

She found an excuse to go to the bridal room to see the bride.

Xu Dong was inside looking for shoes, and the bridesmaids had hidden Caicai’s shoes somewhere, making Xu Dong sing "Conquest" and dance, amusing everyone in the room.

Wang Xiaoya stood in a corner, lost in thought, while Long Fei had actually been keeping an eye on her the whole time.

Now with a moment free, he picked up an apple from the table and suddenly stretched it in front of her from behind.

Wang Xiaoya jumped with fright, pushed his hand away, and turned around to say sourly, "Why aren’t you with Director Lin? What do you want with me?"

Long Fei said with a smile, "Come on, I’ve already apologized to you, right? Eat an apple, and once we’re done here, we’ll have a good talk. I have a great gift for you."

"I don’t want it!"

Wang Xiaoya refused outright, stubbornly turning her head away.

Long Fei raised his hand and showed her the storage ring, asking her, "Don’t you want to know who your real parents are?"

"Huh?"

Wang Xiaoya turned her head, surprised, "Did you find out something?"

Long Fei said with a smile, "Eat the apple first."

"If you deceive me, you’re dead!"

Wang Xiaoya shrugged her nose and bit into the apple she took from his hand.

Only then did Long Fei say, "This ring of yours isn’t just any ordinary ring; it’s a storage ring used in the Cultivation World to store things. Which means, there could very well be a clue left by your parents inside."

"Storage ring?"

Wang Xiaoya listened, somewhat bewildered.

Long Fei gestured with his hand towards her, "Look, I have one too."

He turned his hand as if by magic and took out a book from the storage ring to show her.

With a wave of his hand and a flash of mysterious light, he immediately put it back on the ring.

Wang Xiaoya stared agape, anxiously asking, "What’s inside mine, then?"

Long Fei shook his head and said, "Don’t know yet, there’s a defense array on it. You’ll need to drip your blood on it to claim ownership. Let’s deal with it slowly once we get home after the wedding!"

Wang Xiaoya pouted, then surprisingly let herself be convinced by his words in just a few sentences.

She had resolved to ignore him from now on when she was feeling jealous just a while ago.

If he likes being with Lin Yingying, then so be it.

But with just a few smooth words from Long Fei, she immediately changed her mind.

She gnawed on an apple, scolded herself for being spineless, and thought to herself that she would temporarily forgive this guy and figure out her own background before making any judgements.

Xu Dong had put in a lot of effort in Caicai’s boudoir before he managed to bring her out.

The group went downstairs to the hotel. After taking care of the wedding banquet, it was already the afternoon by the time they finished with all the hustle.

Xu Dong was on stage, crying a river while holding his parents tightly.

The tall man turned out to be quite tender-hearted inside.

In front of everyone, he even knelt down and kowtowed to Long Fei.

A man’s knees are adorned with gold, Xu Dong had never knelt before anyone else in his life.

He truly didn’t know how else to thank Long Fei. In a moment of emotion, the only gesture he could think of was this.

Long Fei was made so uncomfortable by his actions that he didn’t even want to participate in the wedding-night pranks.

After the wedding banquet ended, Lin Yingying handed the car keys to Long Fei, as she planned to stay at her parents’ place for a couple of days in the driver’s car.

She could tell that Wang Xiaoya was in a bad mood that day.

As the main wife, she had to take care of the younger one, didn’t she?

Moreover, she knew.

The more generous she appeared, the more she would be able to captivate a man’s heart.

Long Fei, the poor soul, was indeed full of gratitude and on the verge of tears; if there hadn’t been so many people around, he would have clung to her legs and cried his heart out.

He let out a long sigh of relief after sending Lin Yingying away.

During the meal, with Lin Yingying on one side and Wang Xiaoya on the other, he didn’t know how to handle the situation once the meal was over.

After saying goodbye to Xu Dong, Long Fei took Wang Xiaoya and left in his car.

The sports car accelerated quickly, rumbling loudly on the road and really drew people’s attention.

Wang Xiaoya expressed her surprise, "Director Lin took the initiative to let you accompany me?"

"Sort of!"

Long Fei laughed and nodded.

"She’s quite open-minded!" free𝑤ebnovel.com

Wang Xiaoya fiddled with her hand, her expression a bit melancholic, "I looked at her Moments. She took a lot of photos with your grandpa. He must really like her, right?"

Long Fei watched her for a moment before finally understanding why her jealousy was so intense.

He found an excuse to comfort her, "Lin Yingying visited our village for a project and took the opportunity to visit my grandfather. If you’re willing, I can also take you to see grandfather tomorrow."

Wang Xiaoya shook her head, "No, that wouldn’t be right. Director Lin has already been there. If I went now, wouldn’t I look like the other woman?"

Long Fei cleared his throat twice, uncertain of what to say.

The two of them remained silent all the way home, listening to chicken soup stories on the radio.

After Wang Xiaoya’s parents left, she tidied up the house properly.

On the balcony clothes rack were all the bed sheets and duvet covers.

Wang Xiaoya fetched slippers for Long Fei and squatted down to help him put them on before sitting on the sofa with her head down in a daze.

Long Fei rubbed his head, not wanting to hurt either side but ending up pleasing neither.

Sitting silently for a while, Wang Xiaoya suddenly burst into tears, "Without you, this place feels so empty. I’ve lived until now and suddenly my parents aren’t really my parents. I can’t sleep until midnight; I feel as if I’ve been abandoned by the world."

Long Fei, feeling pained, moved over and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. She collapsed weakly into his embrace and couldn’t stop crying for a while.

He stroked Wang Xiaoya’s head and comforted her, "Don’t talk nonsense, even if the world abandons you, I will never abandon you. Besides, as I already told you, your birth parents left you clues. Maybe they are still alive somewhere, unable to find you for some reason."

Wang Xiaoya sobbed for a good while before calming down. She looked up, her eyes red, and asked, "What about the Storage Ring?"

Long Fei immediately took it off his hand and handed it to her.

Wang Xiaoya wasn’t the only one curious; Long Fei was also intrigued about the owner of the Storage Ring.

After all, not just anyone possessed such an object; only the rich and powerful from the Cultivation World had such things.
