“No!” Tang Xiaoxiao was already smiling through her tears, but she still pouted and stared at Tang Jingchen with her beautiful eyes. She repeated stubbornly, “I’m not fooling around!”

“Okay, okay, okay… You’re not fooling around.” Tang Jingchen hugged Tang Xiaoxiao tightly and patted his sister’s soft and smooth hair. “Don’t throw a tantrum anymore and don’t say that you don’t want to be the young lady of the Tang family or that you don’t want to come home anymore, okay? The Tang family is so warm and hopeful because of your existence… Without you, what’s the point of me and Dad continuing to strive on?”

“Mm!” Tang Xiaoxiao leaned against Tang Jingchen’s arms obediently. The smile on her lips was spread wide.

Hmm… My acting skills have become more and more skillful over the years. Even though my face is full of tears, it’s hard to stop myself from laughing… Tang Xiaoxiao! Hold it in!

…

At night, when Tang Yuanfeng came home, Tang Xiaoxiao announced at the dining table that other than Tang Zheng and Tang Rou entering the entertainment industry, she would be partnering up with Tang Jingchen, to enter the entertainment industry.

Tang Yuanfeng’s expression froze. This mature eldest son of his… actually wanted to fool around with Xiaoxiao and enter the entertainment industry?

After being stunned for a moment, Tang Yuanfeng nodded and resisted the urge to laugh. He raised both his hands up. “Okay! Okay, I agree. I’m all for it! Jingchen, since you are going to be an idol, you don’t have to worry about the things at home. You just have to do well. Haha, I would never have imagined that my sons and daughters would all be entering the entertainment industry!”

Tang Zheng, Tang Jingchen and Tang Xiaoxiao were completely overwhelmed by their father…

Dad, with the power of our Tang family, you don’t need to be so excited even if we are stars, right?

What they did not know was that Tang Yuanfeng also had his own calculations secretly. He raised two sons, the personality of his second son, Tang Zheng, was too stubborn and simple. He treated that pair of mother and daughter a little too well and was not made for business at all. His eldest son, Tang Jingchen, was mature and doted on his daughter. If he were to be his son-in-law, he could really be at ease. Since his daughter wanted his eldest son to enter the entertainment industry, haha… He should take advantage of this opportunity to let them develop their feelings.

Just when Tang Yuanfeng was feeling satisfied with his idea, Tang Jingchen’s cell phone suddenly rang. After answering the phone in English, he suddenly looked at Tang Yuanfeng with a strange expression and said hesitantly, “Dad… there’s something I would like to discuss with you, is that all right?”

Tang Yuanfeng put down his chopsticks. “What is it? Go ahead.”

Tang Jingchen’s expression became more and more strange, as if he did not know how to start speaking. “It’s like this… I was a student at Harvard Business School. You should know that during my university years, a professor took good care of me. Now, this professor has come to China and wants to stay with our family for a while. I wonder…”

“Professor at Harvard Business School?” A happy expression appeared on Tang Yuanfeng’s face and he patted his son’s shoulder. “What’s there to be embarrassed about? A teacher is also half a father. It’s a great honor for our family that he can come to stay in our house.”

“But…” Tang Jingchen seemed to be struggling to say something. It was almost as if there was a hint of reluctance… After some time, he finally said dejectedly, “Forget it, Dad. When that professor comes, you will know. I’ll go and pick him up at the airport after dinner.”

Seeing her brother behaving like this piqued Tang Xiaoxiao’s interest. Putting down her chopsticks, she wiped her mouth and said, “Brother, I’ll go with you later. My English is not bad, so I should be able to handle daily conversation.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Professor Ariano has a quarter of Chinese ancestry and is proficient in nine languages. There should be no problems in communication,” Tang Jingchen said.

“Nine languages?” Tang Xiaoxiao’s face turned red. Thinking of the pain of learning English and French, she could not help but feel admiration and sighed. “What a genius…”

A trace of pride appeared on Tang Jingcheng’s lips. “Xiaoxiao, if this level is considered a genius, then I don’t know what words you should use to describe our professor when you see him.”

Tang Xiaoxiao was slightly in a daze. Thinking of a foreign university professor, an image unconsciously appeared in her mind. A big-bellied foreign old man with a mustache, gray hair and looked hale and hearty. He was dressed in a white shirt with overalls over it and was also a little bow-legged. There was also a black box in his hand…

The car stopped outside, and the brother and sister went into the airport and waited near the passageway. Although it was already night, the lights were still bright in the airport, and a large number of people came out endlessly. Many of them came to pick up people while holding cards with names on them.

After finding a good position, the two stopped. Tang Jingchen looked back at Xiaoxiao, took off his suit jacket and put it over her shoulders. He said in a soft voice, “Xiaoxiao, it’s a bit cold here at night. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

Smelling the unique smell of Tang Jingchen on the suit jacket, Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a lump in her throat and quickly lowered her head. She then replied, “Mm.”

It seemed like no one had ever put a jacket over her before. Whether it was the eldest sister of Lady, or the top manager Ye Yuxin, she was never the role to be taken care of. She could only be strong like a man to take care of others…

Tang Jingchen touched Tang Xiaoxiao’s head affectionately and said with a doting smile, “If I had known that it would be so cold this evening, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you come along.”

Tang Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and pushed back the tears that were at the corners of her eyes. She forced an innocent smile on her face before she raised her head again, the happiness in that pair of pure black eyes seemed to be overflowing. “Brother, don’t worry! I won’t get sick. I don’t want to live a sheltered life. I want to be like a queen!”

“Queen?” Tang Jinchen seemed to be slightly confused.

“Yes, a queen!” Tang Xiaoxiao raised her head with pride and confidence. There was a trace of sacred and inviolable shine on her charming and enchanting face. “It’s the kind of existence that can control everything and have everyone submit!”

Tang Jingchen suddenly lifted the corners of his lips and his face, which was so breathlessly handsome, seemed to have an unprecedented charm. His eyes were full of heartbreaking tenderness. Everything was pure and beautiful like a white lily and his voice was so gentle that it could melt people. “My little princess… really has grown up.”

Looking at Tang Jingchen’s gentle look, Tang Xiaoxiao’s face flushed red unconsciously.

Thump.

Her heart fluttered in that instant.

They waited until around ten o’clock in the evening when the flight from the United States finally landed at the airport. The passengers dragging their luggage gradually filed out from the passageway. Tang Jingchen kept scanning the passengers for fear of missing the genius Harvard professor, Ariano. Tang Xiaoxiao could not help looking at each passenger curiously and tried to compare them with the Professor Ariano in her mind.
