Li Xuan took a sip of tea, leaned back comfortably in his chair, and gazed at the luxurious villa that resembled a castle, sighing, "Living here, waking up every day must be like dreaming. This is truly the life of one’s dreams. The young lady of this house is so lucky, to be born into such a wealthy family... Sigh. Us commoners could struggle our whole lives and not achieve one-tenth of this. It’s just maddening how some people have all the luck." Tao Qing could empathize, this life akin to a princess’s was something they could only look up to, lamenting the unfairness of fate while continuing on their own paths. They envied Ji Yunya’s good fortune, yet who knew that the very person they envied coveted their life the most. Though she lived in a castle, she was not a princess, and this life everyone envied made her sick to her stomach. She would rather be an unnoticed wild grass by the roadside, a piece of rotten mud in the sewer that everyone despised, than have this gorgeous yet sinful body. She wanted nothing more than to live a simple, clean life, basking in the sun, breathing the air—that was her greatest wish. Yet, this wish could only be realized in the next life, if such a thing existed, and without the memories of her past life, how could it even be called a wish? Watching the young man and woman walking down the stairs hand in hand, Tao Qing and Li Xuan both widened their eyes in amazement. The girl wore an ivory-colored chiffon round-neck long sleeve, a dark blue A-line high waist skirt, and a pair of suede boots. With her hair up in a bun, she had a graceful figure and stunningly beautiful face, exuding freshness and elegance amid her fashionable youth, with an air of high-born purity that was unforgettable, especially the gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, like a soft breeze in April warming one’s heart... The boy walking beside her was dressed in a casual white outfit, with exceedingly handsome features and a smile that was both clean and sunny. The two of them were truly a sight for sore eyes. Online, they were lauded as the siblings with the highest facial attractiveness in history, and indeed they didn’t disappoint—both with heaven-defying good looks. Online, some had even weirdly shipped the siblings as a couple, causing a buzz wherever it was mentioned, vehemently opposed by the siblings’ fans. "Miss Ji," Tao Qing was the first to come around and stood up to greet her. There was no response from his side, and turning his head, he saw the wretch was star-struck, saliva almost drooling from his mouth, and gave him a covert pinch—an utterly hopeless case. Li Xuan abruptly stood up, "Miss... Miss Ji, hello." After speaking, he sneaked another glance at her and met her gaze, warm and clear, which unsettled him as his heart began to pound wildly. Previously, he had only seen photos, but he didn’t expect her to be so beautiful in person. The intense visual impact deeply shocked his eyes, accustomed to being ravaged by the sight of plastic beauties. Tao Qing pinched him, and with a hiss, Li Xuan grinned toothily and said, "Miss... Miss Ji, hello, my name is Li Xuan, I am twenty-three years old from Linwan Bay, and currently single..." Tao Qing shot him a fierce look, frustrated. This wasn’t a matchmaking session; why say so much? Yun Ya pressed her lips together and gently smiled, "Mhm, I know." Li Xuan, entranced by that smile, was blissfully disoriented. "This little brother is quite cute." Finally, sharing a smile with Tao Qing. Thɪs chapter is updated by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net Tao Qing shook his head helplessly; some people never change. They were lucky that Miss Ji was magnanimous and didn’t take offense. If it had been someone more temperamental, they would’ve thrown him out immediately. The goddess actually called me cute... Li Xuan felt as if flowers of happiness bloomed all around him, overwhelmed with joy. On the way to the TV station in the car, Tao Qing let Yun Ya review the questions prepared by the program’s staff, some with predefined answers by the team, and others for the guest to answer on their own, aiming for responses that would be close enough so that after post-production and editing for the recorded program, the effect broadcasted on television would be greatly altered. Perhaps noting Yun Ya’s age and status, the questions were quite moderate, not tricky or sharp, though they did follow current trends and included a bit of gossip, asking about her family... what her understanding of family was... Yun Ya’s fingers tightened slightly around the documents. Arriving at the TV station, Tao Qing and Li Xuan led her to the green room. The program would start recording in an hour. Once inside, Yun Ya joined Miaomiao on the couch and casually handed the documents to Tao Qing. "Miss Ji, have you memorized the answers to these questions?" Yun Ya nodded lightly, "Mhm." Tao Qing was a bit astounded, memorizing after just one look—what kind of brain did she have?
