Chapter 48

Xiao Yingxia sorted her mind out and with a smile, she exited the changing room.

"Miss Xiao!"

After Xiao Yingixa exited the changing room, she was about to look for Li Mubai when a large-bellied figure rushed towards her.

Xiao Yingixia was instantly alarmed.

It was Boss Du that showed up before her.

Xiao Yingxia frowned and put her guard up thinking that Boss Du was there to make trouble with her. But to her surprise, Boss Du got down on his knees.

"Mr. Du, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yingxia's frown deepened.

"Miss Xiao, I, Surnamed Du, must have been possessed by a devil to have wicked intentions on you...

"I... I'm now aware of my mistake. So, as an old head on young shoulders, can you please calm Young Master Li down and do me a favor? If Miss Xiao doesn't... I'm afraid I, Old Du, cannot continue to live for long..."

Boss Du prostrated himself to the ground.

He then hastily kowtowed to Xiao Yingxia and said weeping bitterly.

Although Li Mubai told him to take his leave, Boss Du was brooding over what he had done.

Not to mention Li Mubai who held a remarkable identity, Boss Du, himself, would never let anyone off if they dared to offend his woman. So, Boss Du had no choice but to come back to plead with Xiao Yingxia as only she could save his neck!

"I... It's fine. I will try..."

Xiao Yingxia being the kind-hearted woman she was agreed to help Boss Du out. Her Xiao family still had to collaborate with him after all.

"Thank you, Miss Xiao. Thank you. I will make a personal visit to your Xiao family and apologize to you in person some other day!" Boss Du felt relieved.

"Umm... What's his identity?..." Xiao Yingxia asked somewhat dubiously.

"Huh? Who?" Boss Du was confused, not understanding what Xiao Yingxia meant.

"The one you called Young Master Li..." Xiao Yingxia mumbled.

It was now Boss Du's turn to get dumbfounded.

Wasn't she Young Master Li's woman?

How come she wasn't aware of Li Mubai's Young Master identity?

"I only met him tonight..."

Noticing Boss Du's puzzled look, Xiao Yingxia said albeit a little awkwardly.

"Oh... It makes sense..." Boss Du understood. However, he still spoke in revere, "Miss Xiao must be quite fortunate to meet the Young Master of the Li family... Li Mubai..."

In an instant, Xiao Yingxia was shaken to the core.

He was Young Master Li!

The man she met was actually... the Young Master of the Li family!

Xiao Yingxia felt surreal at the moment as if she was Cinderella that run into her Prince...

Boss Du at the side continued.

Countless ideas popped up in Boss Du's mind when he thought of the possibility of Xiao Yingxia becoming Young Master Li's woman. It didn't take long for the two to get acquainted with each other after all.

As it might be possible that only he in the whole of Jinghai was aware of this piece of information, Boss Du naturally planned ahead to grab hold of this opportunity and be on good terms with Xiao Yingxia. If he couldn't, he must at least not make her hostile to him...

"I believe Miss Xiao is clear about Young Master Li's identity. If Miss Xiao can get Young Master Li's favor, it would likely be the result of good fortune accumulated in Miss Xiao's past three lives...

"Miss Xiao must seize the opportunity. Even if Miss Xiao chooses to follow Young Master Li closely, it would only be a matter of time before Miss Xiao could soar through the sky like a Phoenix...

"I'm here to personally congratulate Miss Xiao ahead in time...

"Miss Xiao must, by all means, seize the opportunity..."

At this moment, it seemed like Boss Du was the one looking more forward to it than Xiao Yingxia.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a man, he would've long since sucked up to Young Master Li.

Hearing what Boss Du said, Xiao Yingxia had mixed feelings.

It wasn't that she didn't want to grab hold of the opportunity, but with Li Mubai's remarkable identity, would he even spare her a glimpse?

Moreover, she was already married...

As she thought to herself, Xiao Yingxia's expression turned somewhat somber...

*****

"Ah Wen, I want you to go investigate a person's identity, as well as his various hidden strength and connections..." (TL: 'Ah' which is used here is somewhat similar to 'brother'. It shows closeness and familiarity among people who know one another well but are not related by blood. ^_^)

Inside the lounge.

Li Mubai picked up a glass of red wine and once again instructed the secret guard in a black suit.

The secret guard named Ah Wen was one of the five Hua-Jin level Masters among the three hundred secret guards assigned to him by his grandpa.

"Yes, Young Master. Whom does Young Master want me to investigate?..."

Though Ah Wen's tone seemed cold, it was also filled with unprecedented loyalty.

He turned towards Li Mubai and asked politely.

"Miss Xiao's husband, a son-in-law of the Xiao family's side branch. If I'm not mistaken, he is called Han Qiansan..."

A playful smile hung at the corner of Li Mubai's mouth. He then nonchalantly said, "After investigating everything about him, do as I say..."

Receiving Li Mubai's instructions, Ah Wen nodded his head.

Not long after, he exited the lounge.

Besides him, Li Mubai at the moment was being safeguarded by two Hua-Jin Level Masters and dozens of Later stages of Dark-Jin level secret guards.

As for ensuring Li Mubai's safety, they need not be too bothered.

All they have to do was to follow Li Mubai's instructions.

And at this moment, Xiao Yingxia showed up with her new dress.

However, when she appeared in the lounge this time, many people cast sidelong glances at her.

She had an elegant appearance along with breathtaking stature.

Her black shoulder-length evening dress revealed both her dazzling collarbone and a graceful snow-white neck.

Her black long hair scattered behind her and her limpid eyes carried an indescribable dainty color and luster.

She exuded a mysterious yet magnificent charm.

"What a gorgeous woman!"

"Which family's Young Miss is she? She is simply too gorgeous!"

The crowd began to whisper among themselves.

As everyone seemed to have set their eyes on Xiao Yingxia, her tender pretty face flushed as she slowly made her way towards Li Mubai...
