Ling Tianyi parked his luxurious limited-edition car next to a luxury clubhouse located on the outskirts of City A, which was incompatible with the surrounding area. He looked at the blazing sun outside the window, and then looked at the little girl, who was very tired with a pale face. He was a little bit regretful, for he extorted from her when he knew that she was unable to stand more.

Seeing she slept tight, he changed the temperature and put his coat on her body. Now that she wanted to take a nap, he just let her sleep a little longer, because it would be a hard work for her to do the style later.

Xia Xiaoluo was sleeping with her head cocked to one side, and Ling Tianyi was also busy with his work, dealing with his e-mails via the on-board computer. These days, he had spent too much time and too many efforts on her, and on the matters arranged by his family; therefore, he had accumulated piles of emails to cope with.

A crisp ring tone broke the silence inside the car. Xia Xiaoluo was woken up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and she was still in a trance. Ling Tianyi picked up the phone and answered it in English.

Then, he hung it up, turned to Xia Xiaoluo, who looked like a confused worm, and said, “Get off. The sun will go down if you keep sleeping.”

Xia Xiaoluo took a look at the time on the on-board computer and replied, “It’s just eleven o’clock. Why is the sun going down? It hasn’t yet fully risen.”

“How dare you talk back to me!” Ling Tianyi realized he would get mad as long as the little woman spoke to him.

“No. I’ll get off at once…” Xia Xiaoluo has learned how to unfasten the seat belt and open the car door, and she soon jumped out of the car, blocking the burning sun with her hands.

“Winding Path!” She read the sign outside and looked around: it was a remote place.

“Although it’s a little bit far, it’s the best style club in City A.” He stood by her side, “They can help change your ugly duckling look into an elegant swan.”

When Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo walked in hand in hand, the staff inside immediately welcomed them warmly, and even the boss Mu Yifeng came out.

Ling Tianyi and Mu Yifeng greeted each other with a malicious intent, and Ling Tianyi directly asked Mu Yifeng to make the style for Xia Xiaoluo. The boss boasted he could make her more beautiful than Miss Universe.

“Please, Miss Xia.” Mu Yifeng guided her with a gentle gesture.

“Wow, there’s a star! I’ve seen her on TV.” She exclaimed.

“She’s not famous as a little star. No need to be that excited. There’s a film and television company under Huasheng Group with plenty of superstars. Relying on me, you’ll be flattered by them.” Seeing her disgrace manner, Ling Tianyi frowned.

“What?” She felt at a loss.

“I must say, you’ve done business in this industry for many years. Why didn’t you care about my business and ask the stars under your company to do styles here?” While collecting the styling tools, Mu Yifeng teased Ling Tianyi.

“Humph, you’re so lazy. You open a club in this remote place; everybody knows your minds. You’ll scold me for drumming up customers for you.” Ling Tianyi and Mu Yifeng were good friends for many years. Though their relationship was not that tight like that of him and Yao Zhanhui, they were relaxing when together.

“The cream always comes to the top. Only those who know how to appreciate beauty can find here. As for those with poor taste, I can’t deal with them.” Mu Yifeng whipped his hair, making a cool pose.

“Tidy and dress her up. Don’t be too cheap.” Finding himself a cozy place, Ling Tianyi took out the laptop and continued with his emails.

Xia Xiaoluo originally thought making a style was not a big deal, but it actually took her five hours, and the lunch was bought by Ling Tianyi from several kilometers away.

Xia Xiaoluo’s skin was white and tender, and her feature was regular. After Mu Yifeng pranking her up, she was even more like a fairy. Her ponytail with a natural roll was untied and straightened like a black waterfall behind. The pure white dress on her body was both elegant and decent, without losing the girl’s original purity. With simple jewelry and a pair of silver high heels, she was gentle and charming in front of the mirror.

“My boss, look at my work. Whether she can join the beauty contest as the Miss Universe?” Mu Yifeng was very satisfied with his work.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Ling Tianyi couldn’t believe she was the little girl delivering take outs. She was like a rich lady from the upper classes of society. Ling Tianyi looked up and down, and Xia Xiaoluo was a little embarrassed and smiled. Her two small dimples became the finishing touch of this work.

Ling Tianyi was somewhat absent-minded. He was very satisfied with this style, which was not that extravagant, but very tasteful, especially suitable for taking back home and meeting his parents.

After Mu Yifeng pat Ling Tianyi’s shoulder, he recovered with a few smirks and said, “Oh, you’re really good at this! Today, I do see the magic to turn bad into good.”

Xia Xiaoluo curled her lip: was she bad? She was very pretty, wasn’t she? She was the campus belle at her high school.

Ling Tianyi left with Xia Xiaoluo, but when Xia Xiaoluo just took a step, she staggered, almost falling over.

“May I change my shoes? The heels are too high to walk with.” She cried with a twisted face. She has never worn a pair of shoes with the heels higher than ten centimeters, and the heels were too thin. Walking on them was just like on chopsticks.

Ling Tianyi was suddenly depressed, so was Mu Yifeng, for that simply killed their joy.

“You must wear them. You can’t put them off.” Ling Tianyi held and dragged Xia Xiaoluo to the outside, and then finally picked her up and directly threw her into the seat.

“Where are we going now?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.

“I have to show you to my parents. Now go home with me. I’ve told my parents I’ll take their daughter-in-law back home for the dinner.” Ling Tianyi put it very casually, but Xia Xiaoluo was scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

“Is it okay…is it okay…” that I didn’t go with you? Xia Xiaoluo muttered, and she didn’t dare to speak her minds out.

“No. Listen, don’t make my parents angry. They like girls from respectable families, and they like dignified and virtuous ones. Although you do not have these characteristics, you must put on the appearance of a fair lady well.”

“The dishes will be very tasty, but you are not allowed to eat much, otherwise it’ll be not elegant.”

“Don’t drink. You can say that you can’t drink, and it’ll make you look lovely.”

“After our arrival, you need to go to the kitchen and give a hand, which will make you look virtuous.”

“Talk sweet, and praise my parents. Everyone love praises.”

…

When Ling Tianyi spoke unceasingly, Xia Xiaoluo obviously didn’t listen to him, merely feeling very nervous.

“You live in Qingyun Heights?” Xia Xiaoluo exclaimed. That was the gathering place of the richest people in City A, where there are many luxury villas. Each of them would cost tens of millions of yuan, and even hundreds of millions of yuan. When Xia Xiaoluo lived in the small villa of the Xia’s, she was bored of listening to her stepmother Zhu Yufen’s complaining that her biggest wish was she could move to Qingyun Heights one day.

“Hmm!” Ling Tianyi was proud of himself, for Qingyun Heights was the first big project done by him after he took charge of Huasheng Group. The villa of his home was the most luxurious one in the whole heights. Situated at the foot of a hill and beside a stream, it was very well located.

After Ling Tianyi drove the car into his courtyard, a full-time driver immediately came to help him park the car into the garage.

“I warn you, don’t do anything that humiliates me.” That was his final warning to Xia Xiaoluo, but she was stupefied by the magnificent yard and architecture.

Ling Tianyi dragged her into the gate of the villa. All she could see was a highly luxurious lobby, and she guessed it could cover an area of hundreds of square meters, and be used as a football court. The marble floor was polished, and the shadows were visible when lower your head. There were so much to see with a variety of expensive decorations and furniture.

“Welcome, Young Master. I’ll tell Master and Madam you’re back.” After a respectful greeting, the woman in a white shirt went to the second floor from a special maid channel.

Although Ling Desheng was 61 years old, and his health was not good before, his eyes were glowing, and he was in high spirit. In a Chinese-style dark shirt with buttons down the front, he was like a noble in the old time. By his side was his wife He Meishu. She was 52 years old, but she was very well maintained, for she looked like she was in her early forties. She wore a dark blue chi-pao, and it was a good match with Ling Desheng’s shirt.

This old couple sat down in the luxurious European leather sofa, looking at their son and the little girlfriend he brought back.

“Dad, Mum!” Ling Tianyi proactively greeted them in a polite manner. Then he pushed Xia Xiaoluo a step forward, “She’s Xia Xiaoluo, my girlfriend. I take her home today for you to meet her.”

“Hello, Mister and Madam Ling. I’m very glad to meet you!” After her greeting, Xia Xiaoluo took a big bow. Ling Tianyi frowned at her performance, for she was a little bit silly.

“Good, sit down please.” Seeing Xia Xiaoluo was slim and graceful with decent dressing, which was what she had expected long before, He Meishu was very delighted. Although Xia Xiaoluo behaved in an exaggerated manner, it was not bad.

Holding her slender waist, Ling Tianyi sat down in a love seat with her. He was very relaxed and crossed his legs, but Xia Xiaoluo sat up properly.

It seemed Ling Desheng was smiling, for none could tell what his expression was, but he was anxious to know the information about his future daughter-in-law. He tipped Hu Meishu a look, and He Meishu was about to start checking it out when Ling Tianyi said slowly, “I think you still don’t know about Xiaoluo. Let me introduce her to you.”

“Good, that’s what I want to know.” He Meishu said with a smile.
