Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chen Yichen had requested his chef to prepare lunch, knowing that Yun Xi would come and visit. If preparations were made beforehand, then Yun Xi would not get the chance to refuse dining at the mansion.

Now that Yun Xi had Xiaoer and Xiaosi following her all the time, she started to realize the benefits of becoming the young lady of such a prestigious family.

In the past, she would’ve prepared for the New Year all by herself, but now the guards had done that for her, and they even did a better job than her.

The guards even prepared presents for the families they were going to visit throughout the festive season.

As Xiao Jinglin was an important guest, Shen Ziliang had been waiting by the entrance with his wife and son.

However, this time, Xiao Jinglin visited the Chen family with another identity. He was there as Yun Xi’s father. Even though that wasn’t the father’s first time meeting Chen Yichen, he couldn’t help but study the young man who had been taking very good care of his daughter.

According to their country’s tradition, Yun Xi greeted the old master and old madam and wished them an early Happy New Year. As they chatted, Xiao Jinglin mentioned Yun Xi’s actual identity to Shen Ziliang and his wife, and thanked Jiang Wanyun for providing him with the information about the brooch.

Jiang Wanyun was both shocked and thankful when she learned that Yun Xi wasn’t from the Yun family.

The woman knew what kind of life the lady had been through after she had arrived in Jingdu two years ago. Having Liang Xiuqin as her mother was the worst part of it.

Jiang Wanyun couldn’t help but feel happy for Yun Xi for finding her real father.

“But, if she isn’t Yun Xi, then where’s the girl who was promised to the Jiang family the moment she was born?”

“That child...” Xiao Jinglin sighed. “She fell from a cliff when the Yun family hired someone to take her to Muyang. We only learned about it a few weeks ago.”

Xiao Jinglin then briefly explained the whole situation and didn’t go into detail as it involved a lot of the Xiao family’s private matters.

......

“For her to meet such an ill fate...”

As the adults talked, Chen Yichen quietly watched the lady who was sitting across from him. Instead of being the young lady of the Yun family, she was now the heir of the prestigious Xiao family, a status that was on par with nobility.

Compared to a super tycoon family like the Xiao family, their family looked weak and powerless.

If it was in the past, he would at least try to compete with the Young Commander for a shot at dating her. However, now, there was another obstacle in front of him that shattered any hope he still had.

Chen Yichen wasn’t like his usual self as he would sometimes find himself staring at Yun Xi for a prolonged period.

Anything he wanted to say to her was stopped by what Xiao Jinglin had just announced.

For her to have such a powerful father and boyfriend meant that he wasn’t needed in her life anymore.

On their way back, Yun Xi suddenly asked her father, “Did you mention my real identity to them just so that you could let the eldest heir realize the difference in our status?”

Not expecting that his daughter would see through his intention, Xiao Jinglin laughed and nodded, “Don’t tell me you still can’t see that he has feelings for you?”

“I’ve already made it clear to him that I like Mu Feichi and have politely rejected him. I’m not sure if he’s just ignorant or playing dumb...”

“Well, if letting him know that you are my daughter can make him give up, then isn’t that a good thing? It’s better to let him face the truth now rather than later, right? At least making him give up when he’s still not all head over heels for you now is better than waiting until he has done too much to get your attention.”

“You’re right. I shouldn’t toy with a man’s feelings.”

Yun Xi clearly understood who she loved the most. That was why she would never even consider dating Chen Yichen.

In the end, there would be winners and losers in a love rivalry, but never sympathy.
