Chapter 12: Make Your Fiancé Look Up to You

Brother Gong Dong, I'll give you a little correction on the part of the sage's words.

As long as you study a little bit with me, you will eventually be able to cultivate Magnanimous Righteous Qi as strong as mine.

Ye Xiuxiu secretly pointed out to Chen Gong Dong the correct explanation of the sage's words.

"When people do not know you and you are not annoyed, is that not the way of a gentleman?"

"Someone may not know my great name, yet I have not become angry; that is already quite gentlemanly."

"A gentleman who is not solemn will not be awe-inspiring!"

"A gentleman must certainly strike heavy; otherwise he cannot establish prestige!"

"A gentleman loves wealth, but acquires it by proper means."

"I like money, so taking your money is perfectly reasonable!"

"Wealth and honor obtained unjustly are to me like floating clouds."

"Ill-gotten wealth is to me as abundant as floating clouds."

……

Chen Gong Dong kept nodding his head like a chick pecking at grain,

the pen in his hand moving quickly across the notebook,

carefully recording every word Ye Xiuxiu said in detail.

At the same time, he unhesitatingly erased those previous erroneous or false annotations with an eraser.

After all, now there is more accurate and useful information,

so those outdated things naturally have no need to exist.

"Oh! So that's how it is!"

Chen Gong Dong nodded while muttering to himself,

his face showing an expression of sudden realization.

He felt as if he had opened a brand-new door of knowledge,

his heart filled with the joy of gain.

And Ye Xiuxiu, with a solemn face and earnest words, admonished Chen Gong Dong:

"No matter what, you must not tell the teacher about this; if the teacher finds out,"

"he might mislead you again and lead you astray."

"Whatever he says to you, you let it go in one ear and out the right, admitting fault with a good attitude but never changing."

Upon hearing this,

Chen Gong Dong's little head bobbed up and down like pounding garlic, and he said with firm conviction:

"Don't worry, Sister Xiuxiu, I will definitely remember this!"

Seeing Chen Gong Dong so well-behaved and sensible,

Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but nod in satisfaction,

and smiling, she praised: "Well, truly a child who can be taught!"

Along with Ye Xiuxiu's teachings,

He Pingsheng, however, noticed that Chen Gong Dong seemed to become somewhat odd.

The more he watched, the more he felt Chen Gong Dong's behavior and mannerisms were becoming like Ye Xiuxiu's, whether in tone of speech or way of thinking, bearing her imprint.

What on earth is going on?

Could it be because they have been together for too long,

so that they have unconsciously influenced each other?

This puzzle troubled He Pingsheng, leaving him unable to figure it out after much thought.

"Gong Dong, you must absolutely not learn from Ye Xiuxiu, or you'll learn all her bad habits,"

"you should study more with Ru Yan."

He Pingsheng called Chen Gong Dong aside to give him personal guidance.

Upon hearing this,

he inwardly gave Ye Xiuxiu a thumbs-up,

indeed, just as Sister Xiuxiu had said,

the teacher would indeed lead him astray.

"Teacher, I will definitely study more with Sister Ru Yan."

He Pingsheng immediately showed a relieved smile.

But what struck He Pingsheng as strange was,

the more he warned Chen Gong Dong,

the more Chen Gong Dong became like Xiuxiu,

even to the point of obeying Ye Xiuxiu's words without question,

this left him baffled.

In the blink of an eye, another half year passed,

Ye Xiuxiu turned three years old.

【You have already been back home for two years, have also gained a little fame, your former fiancé has heard of your affairs and is preparing to come see you; you must do something to make your fiancé look up to you, and then gradually win him back.】

【Reward: a random defensive spell.】

"Fiancé?"

When Ye Xiuxiu heard this term,

She blinked her big eyes, bright as gemstones, and muttered doubtfully all over her face:

This system is definitely broken! How could there be such an outrageous counterattack mission!

And it even wants me to snatch back my fiancé...

Just thinking about this, Ye Xiuxiu felt a chill surge through her heart,

She couldn't help but complain again: "This is clearly just telling me to go steal someone else's man!"

"And he's already not pure..."

Fortunately, heaven leaves no one without a way,

this broken system appeared in time enough,

at this moment I am only a mere three years old,

I haven't even met that legendary fiancé yet.

Ye Xiuxiu secretly felt relieved and thought,

I guess that guy is probably still a wet-nosed little brat,

If I really had to wait until I was sixty for the system to pop up and issue such a task,

then go steal a dirty man who knows how many women have touched,

she would be absolutely unwilling, a thousand times over!

Just then, a gentle female voice suddenly came:

"Xiuxiu, come out for a moment~"

It turned out to be her mother, Bai Qingxia, calling her.

Ye Xiuxiu muttered quietly to herself,

and obediently walked out of the room,

stepping with her short little legs, she followed closely behind Bai Qingxia,

heading toward the front hall.

When they arrived at the front hall,

Ye Xiuxiu curiously lifted her gaze,

she saw, besides her father Ye Qingping,

there was also a strikingly beautiful woman.

The woman wore a splendid long dress,

her head of light blue hair fell like a waterfall over her shoulders, making her especially eye-catching.

Standing right beside this beautiful woman,

was a little boy. The kid looked about the same age as Ye Xiuxiu and was roughly the same height.

He had delicate eyebrows and eyes, with refined features,

although he was still just a child,

but one could already tell he would grow into a handsome, suave young man.

Bai Qingxia looked at Ye Xiuxiu with a smile and slowly said,

"Xiuxiu ah, this matter is a bit complicated to explain, but I'll try to make clear the relationship between us."

"First of all, Aunt Zheng and your dad grew up together from childhood; they can truly be called childhood sweethearts!"

"Back then, both families actually hoped they would naturally end up together and form a beautiful marriage."

"But fate loves to joke, and things turned out contrary to everyone's original expectations."

"Perhaps it really fulfilled that mysterious childhood-sweetheart law,"

"where the longer they've grown up together, the harder it is for them to come to fruition."

"In the end, each found their own true love, which can be considered a happy outcome for all!"

"Nevertheless, their affection did not diminish at all; they remain as close as biological siblings."

"Later, they even made a promise."

"If the children born are of the same sex,"

"let the children play together from a young age, grow up together, and keep that deep sibling bond,"

"but if it's one boy and one girl, they cannot be allowed to grow up together like ordinary families do."

"to avoid repeating the same mistake."

"When the children turn three, they must be given a marriage engagement."

"Then they each grow up separately."

After hearing this, Ye Xiuxiu felt as if enlightened,

instantly understood the cause and effect,

and finally understood why a fiancé had suddenly appeared.

All this had been arranged even before she was born,

both sets of parents had already made preparations!

Ye Xiuxiu gave Aunt Zheng a bright, crisp greeting,

"Aunt Zheng."

Aunt Zheng looked at Ye Xiuxiu with smiling eyes,

"This Xiuxiu is truly adorable, looking almost exactly like Qingxia."

Bai Qingxia immediately laughed,

"Xiao Feng also takes after you, being even more handsome."

Bai Qingsha greeted the little boy Qin Feng.

"Xiao Feng, this is your little sister Xiuxiu."

The two three-year-old children curiously examined each other.

They were muttering in their hearts,

"This is my fiancé(e)?"
