hese tedious tasks was opening up new paths for her. It seemed as if persistence would bring about miracles in life.Aware of the impact on other employees, Zhou Guangtao and Yan Luoxi did not publicly...Chapter 72

The Ruan family had significant influence in the Golden Triangle and was extremely wealthy. Ni Xuanyi was taken to a private plane by someone specially assigned to her, which made her feel quite honored, assuming that the Ruan family had sent a special aircraft just for her.

When Ni Xuanyi entered the cabin, she saw a young man dressed in white already seated inside, with a row of bodyguards standing behind him.

The young man looked at Ni Xuanyi in surprise before smiling at her, his lips curling into an incredibly charming arc. "You must be a friend of Ruan Xi's; I'm her brother, my name is Ruan Zhao."

Ni Xuanyi was somewhat surprised. This Ruan Zhao differed greatly from Ruan Xi. Ruan Zhao spoke in a gentle manner, like a delicate young lady, while Ruan Xi was more straightforward and boyish. Ruan Zhao's skin was fair as if he were a girl, whereas Ruan Xi had healthy golden-brown skin. Ruan Zhao’s eyes sparkled with intelligence, but Ruan Xi’s were pitch-black and pure. Ruan Zhao exuded an ethereal aura, while Ruan Xi was clear and bright.

This man is dangerous!

Ni Xuanyi instinctively feared Ruan Zhao. She quietly greeted him, "Hello, Brother Ruan Zhao!" before sitting down at a slightly farther distance from him.

Ruan Zhao looked directly at Ni Xuanyi without hesitation and said, "You're Ni Xuanyi, right"

"Yes." Ni Xuanyi nodded respectfully in haste.

"I always hear Ruan Xi talk about you. I should have brought her home to play with you long ago," Ruan Zhao stood up and walked closer to Ni Xuanyi before sitting down.

When he stood up, Ni Xuanyi noticed that he was quite tall and not skinny, but compared to the broad-shouldered men around the Golden Triangle area, his figure seemed slender. Moreover, his pale face looked somewhat eerie.

Ruan Zha fixed his gaze on Ni Xuanyi, noticing her slightly reserved expression. He spoke親切地說道：“Ruan Xi calls you Xuanxuan; may I call you Xuanxuan too”

"Sure." Ni Xuanyi nodded quickly.

"Xuanxuan, have you eaten dinner I'll get someone to bring food over. What would Xuanxuan like to eat" Ruan Zha asked in a friendly manner.

"Anything is fine," Ni Xuanyi replied with a dry smile.

Ruan Xi picked up a cookbook on the table and made some selections; immediately, someone was sent to prepare the meal. Witnessing how tense everyone around Ruan Zha appeared, Ni Xuanyi deduced that his temper must be quite bad.

The food arrived swiftly, consisting of a bowl of meticulously prepared rice noodles, a serving of vermicelli, and four side dishes. Looking at the appetizing noodles and vermicelli, Ni Xuanyi was surprised and stared with wide eyes; how did this man know she loved such food

Ruan Zha seemed to read her thoughts, smiling happily as he said, "I knew you would love these; girls like eating these dishes."

Ni Xuanyi chuckled again. This man was definitely skilled in romance and knew exactly how to please a woman.

Seeing Ni Xuanyi's reaction, Ruan Zha’s expression changed rapidly as he hurriedly explained, “I don't have many women around me; I don't even have a girlfriend right now. It’s just that Ruan Xi always eats these dishes.”

Ni Xuanyi was startled. Could it be that this man could read minds How did he know what she was thinking She didn’t understand why Ruan Zhao felt the need to explain these things to her. Feeling awkward, she gave a slight cough and said, “Brother Ruan Zhao, may I eat now”

“Sure, you can eat whatever you like,” Ruan Zhao smiled at her kindly.

Ni Xuanyi was somewhat nervous as she picked up her chopsticks to eat. To her surprise, the freshly cooked rice noodles were very hot, causing her to make an ‘sui’ sound as if she had been scalded.

“The noodles will definitely be too hot when they’re just cooked. You should blow on them before eating,” Ruan Zhao handed Ni Xuanyi some tissues and then bent down gently blowing on her rice noodles for her.

Ni Xuanyi looked at the Ruan Zhao in front of her, finding it extremely eerie. But right as she thought this, Ruan Zhao lifted his head to look at her, with a slight upward turn of his eyes and bright pupils that seemed to be able to see into people’s souls.

After eating, Ni Xuanyi immediately closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep. This Ruan Zhao behaved in such a secretive way that it made her extremely uneasy.

The private jet finally landed. In front of Ni Xuanyi, Ruan Zhao walked down the airstairs. There were over a hundred people waiting for him, all dressed in black and looking terrifyingly fierce. Following behind them, Ni Xuanyi left the cabin and saw that Lu Xi was running towards them from afar but was stopped by Ruan Zhao who stepped forward. She could see Ruan Xi’s face changing color under the lights as he talked to her brother.

As Ni Xuanyi walked down the airstairs, she looked around at the solemnly guarded black-clad guards and couldn’t help feeling afraid. In theory, the Li family was infinitely richer and more powerful than the Ruan family; Li Yi also had an infinitely greater aura than Ruan Zhao, but members of the Li family didn’t give her this creepy vibe that made her shiver.

Finally, Ruan Xi managed to get away from his brother and ran towards Ni Xuanyi. On seeing her, he gave her a big hug right away and said, “Xuanxuan, you really came!”

Ni Xuanyi was concerned about Meng Meng, so she patted Ruan Xi’s back and said, “Yes, I’m here. How have you been these days And how is Meng Meng”

"Meng Meng is not dead," a cold voice came from the side. Ni Xuanyi quickly looked up and saw that Ruan Zhao had returned, standing beside her and Ruan Xi. His expression was no longer as gentle as it was on the plane; squinting his eyes made Ni Xuanyi feel a chill run down her spine.

"Brother, don't do this, you'll scare Xuanxuan," Ruan Xi tugged at his brother's arm and kept giving Ruan Zhao warning looks.

Ruan Zhao saw Ni Xuanyi standing there in shock and quickly smiled softly, his voice regaining its usual gentleness. "Xuanxuan must be tired. Let's head home."

The Ruan family's car service parked in over a dozen black limousines. Ruan Xi led Ni Xuanyi into one of the central vehicles; Ruan Zhao followed suit. Ni Xuanyi moved closer to Ruan Xi as if she were cold.

In the spacious back seat of the limo, only the brother and sister from the Ruan family and Ni Xuanyi sat, but for some reason, it felt suddenly crowded and stuffy, with an odd atmosphere. Ni Xuanyi intended to ask Ruan Xi about Meng Meng's situation, but with Ruan Zhao present, she refrained.

The grand villa of the Ruan family was even more luxurious than Ni Xuanyi had imagined; everywhere glittered with gold and jade, showing off its opulence.

Seeing Ni Xuanyi looking at their golden inlaid living room with amusement, Ruan Zhao seemed a little embarrassed as he explained to her: "The interior design here is my father’s idea and that of several maids. I wouldn't have thought this way; if I ever build a house for myself in the future, I will definitely respect my wife's opinion before decorating."

"Brother!" Ruan Xi hurriedly called out to Ruan Zhao from the side, "Father said as soon as you arrive, he wants to see you in his room."

Ruan Zhao nodded and turned back to look at Ni Xuanyi twice with a reluctant expression before heading up to his father's bedroom.

Seeing Ruan Zhao go upstairs, Ni Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief. She whispered to Ruan Xi: "Why do I feel that your brother is acting weird"y. She spoke with sleepy petulance: "You go away now, I’m still not fully awake!""Hmm, darling, just listen to a few words from me and then you can continue sleeping," Li An softly caressed Yan Luoxi'...
