Chapter 1317 - 1311: The Third Princess Returns Home
After a smooth journey, they arrived in Minghe City. Song Xiaodong arranged for Qiao Yunxi's brothers to stay at a hotel, while he took Qiao Yunxi directly to the Su Family.
Qiao Yunxi was usually a very bold girl, but upon entering the Su Family mansion and hearing Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin say that the entire place belonged to Song Xiaodong, she couldn't help but feel anxious, becoming suddenly reserved.
Feng Kexin held Qiao Yunxi's hand and said, "Yunxi, this is your home from now on. You don't need to have any reservations. Just do as you please."
Qiao Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "This... is my home?"
Feng Kexin replied, "Yes, since it's my brother's home, it's naturally our home too."
Qiao Yunxi glanced at Song Xiaodong and said, "This... I don't dare to think of it that way."
Feng Kexin chuckled and said, "Right, you don't know your true relationship with my brother yet, so it's normal for you to think like that. When Lanqin first came here, she felt just like you."
Qi Lanqin nodded, feeling quite touched, and said, "Yes, I was just a poor girl too, and who'd have thought I'd have this kind of life now? It's all because my brother found me that my life completely changed."
"You... are just like me?" Qiao Yunxi turned her head to look at Qi Lanqin.
Qi Lanqin nodded and said, "Yes, exactly like you. I have that insignia too."
Song Xiaodong said, "Kexin, Lanqin, arrange things for Yunxi and explain everything to her."
"Got it." Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin agreed in unison.
Song Xiaodong then turned to Qiao Yunxi and said, "Yunxi, feel at home here. I have a lot of things to deal with, so just stay with Kexin and Lanqin for now."
"Okay." Arriving here, Qiao Yunxi couldn't help becoming much more compliant, not daring to speak recklessly.
Song Xiaodong parted from them and went to the main villa, while Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin led Qiao Yunxi in another direction.
Without Song Xiaodong by her side, Qiao Yunxi felt much less pressure and quietly said to Feng Kexin, "This place is huge. How much money does he have?"
Feng Kexin chuckled, "Not to say richer than a country, but at least he's wealthy beyond measure, with more money than he can spend."
"This is really too much money." Qiao Yunxi's mouth twitched as she said, "This makes me feel unreal. How can someone from a poor backwater place like me connect with such a rich man?"
Qi Lanqin laughed, "I thought the same back then, but this is real. We are our brother's sisters, and nothing can change that in this lifetime."
"Just because of that insignia?" Qiao Yunxi asked cautiously.
Feng Kexin nodded seriously, "Yes, we all have it. It's a symbol of our identity."
"Then what exactly is our identity? This feels too much like a dream."
Feng Kexin said, "Yunxi, don't underestimate your identity. We'll talk more when we get to the villa. Look, which area you'd like to live in."
Saying this, Feng Kexin pointed to a few villas not far away.
"Anywhere is fine." Qiao Yunxi said casually.
Feng Kexin also casually said, "Then just pick one for now, see if you like it. If you don't like it, you can switch later."
Qi Lanqin suggested, "Still, choose one near us. Since Yunxi is like us, being closer to us will be more convenient."
Feng Kexin nodded, "That's right. Let's choose this one next to us."
Entering the villa, Feng Kexin laughed and said, "Yunxi, check if you're satisfied, and if anything is missing, we'll have it brought over later."
"This..." Qiao Yunxi glanced around and asked, "Who else lives here?"
"Just you," Feng Kexin replied casually.
"You're not saying this entire villa is for me alone?" Qiao Yunxi stared wide-eyed.
"Of course, it's just for you."
"This big villa, just for me?" Qiao Yunxi's eyes widened even more.
"Yes, we each have our own villa."
Qiao Yunxi's mouth twitched violently twice, "This... this is too extravagant."
Feng Kexin said, "What extravagance? You're my brother's sister. In this home, aside from the sisters-in-law, it's just us."
"Sisters-in-law?" Qiao Yunxi was utterly confused again.
Feng Kexin chuckled, "Yes, our family has many sisters-in-law and my brother has many wives."
Qiao Yunxi understood Feng Kexin's meaning, without feeling particularly concerned. Growing up from her background, she had seen plenty of moneyed men with numerous women.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, the staff naturally brought out tea, and after dismissing them, Feng Kexin became serious, "Yunxi, now let me tell you about our true identity."
Qiao Yunxi suddenly grew nervous, sitting up straighter.
Feng Kexin explained about their status as Dragon Gate Princesses, as well as Dragon Gate's current situation and plans for the future.
Listening to it, Qiao Yunxi was dumbfounded, feeling like she was hearing a story, but seeing the seriousness on Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin's faces, she couldn't help but believe it.
Moreover, the fact that people like Song Xiaodong and Feng Kexin wouldn't bother to deceive a small girl like her, not to mention going to great lengths to bring her here, added to the credibility.
"Yunxi, so you mustn't underestimate yourself. You are a Dragon Gate Princess, which means you represent Dragon Gate. Your actions could be watched by countless Dragon Gate members in the future."
Qiao Yunxi grinned and said, "I feel like I'm dreaming. This is too much for me to accept."
Feng Kexin shrugged, "Whether you want to accept it or not isn't a choice. My brother is the Dragon Gate Young Master. Our responsibility is to assist him in restoring Dragon Gate, and we can't afford to be vague about that."
Taking a couple of deep breaths, Qiao Yunxi said, "Though I'm not very capable, I will do my best."
Both Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin nodded in satisfaction. Then, Feng Kexin's expression suddenly turned peculiar, and she asked, "Yunxi, have you ever had a boyfriend before?"
The topic shifted too quickly for Qiao Yunxi, who didn't understand why Feng Kexin was asking this, but she still shook her head, "No."
Feng Kexin's eyes lit up, "Have you ever had... relations with another man?"
Qiao Yunxi was a bit stunned as the topic seemed too abrupt.
