☆、Chapter 19
Emperor Shixi felt that the people of this world acted weirdly. There were literally boxes everywhere. The cellphone was a box, the elevator was a box, the car was a box, and now Yan Xuyao faced a black box.
Repressing an urge to swear at the computer, Yan Xuyao glanced at Emperor Shixi and his eyes lit up. He couldn't help laughing as he watched Emperor Shixi try to rein in his curiosity, and pretend to be familiar with his surroundings. This younger brother of his…’How can you be so cute?’ Although Mu Jianli's DNA test results hadn’t arrived yet, Yan Xuyao had already reached his own conclusion regarding the person in front of him. He had a good impression of Emperor Shixi.
Emperor Shixi laid on the sofa in a domineering manner. He held a magazine in his hand, it was the same one that Rong Xuan had misplaced. He couldn’t understand a lot of words, so he didn’t know what to do with it.
Once Yan Xuyao had finished going over some documents, he looked up. More than an hour had passed. His gaze traveled across the room, it was only at that time he suddenly remembered that there was another person in the room with him, Emperor Shixi.
He had read the report, so he knew that Yan Nuo was a quiet and clever child. However, as he associated with him, he did not believe that to be the case. But now, the youth was quietly laying on the sofa with the sunset reflecting off his face, making it seem flushed. Yan Xuyao suddenly felt that the youth was very pitiful. His heart hurt for the boy.
He couldn't help but compare himself with the boy. He had always resented the child because if it weren't for him, their father wouldn't have ignored Yan Xuyao. However, if he thought about it from Yan Nuo's point of view, then, what had Yan Nuo done wrong? His identity was that of an illegitimate child, a humiliation that he would have to bear for a lifetime, while Yan Xuyao was the Yan family's legitimate young master. His mother died prematurely, Yan Nuo's mother had also died, but prior to that, Yan Nuo's mother was never accepted by the Yan family. Yan Xuyao was Yan family's young master, as for Yan Nuo, their father only guaranteed his health and safety.
In the end, between the both of them, who would be envied?
For the first time, Yan Xuyao didn’t look at the youth with prejudice. The skin of the boy was tender and whiter than a woman's, and with the setting sun on him, his entire body seemed to emit a red glow. Emperor Shixi’s head was lowered, and his long thick lashes slightly closed as he read the magazine. Yan Xuyao could imagine his eyes. Actually, under those sharp eyebrows was a pair of slender and peach blossom eyes.
It was then, Yan Xuyao remembered that this child was only 19 years old. He was only a university student, but one with amnesia. Yan Xuyao never had amnesia, but he could imagine how a person would feel when they realized that they couldn’t remember anything. Obviously, wouldn't they feel panic?
Yan Xuyao suddenly felt really bad, he was the only blood relative that this boy had! He had also spoken vile words to this teenager, who was only trying to live again. Wasn't he too much?
Yan Xuyao remembered how the boy had looked like, squatting in the bathtub…he was only a child who couldn’t even wear his undergarments. Did Yan Xuyao have to be so guarded against him?
What the hell, why was he feeling so sentimental? Yan Xuyao shook his head and threw those thoughts to the back of his mind. He isn’t this soft-hearted, he had just gotten carried away by what he saw, that's all.
Little did he know, his opinion had started to change.
Rong Xuan knocked on the door, he waited until he heard Yan Xuyao say something, only then did he go inside. As soon as he walked in, he saw the two brothers enjoying a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. Yan Nuo looked at him, his appearance soft and immature, but the person himself was slightly cold. The Yan Family's genes were truly good.
Rong Xuan's knock brought the two brothers back to reality and stopped their staring. A glance at Rong Xuan's expression confirmed this to be a serious business matter. Emperor Shixi was well aware of this, so he dropped the magazine and stood up, "You two talk first, I'll go out and take a walk."
Yan Xuyao nodded and watched as Emperor Shixi leave the office, closing the door behind him. He indicated for Rong Xuan to speak.
Rong Xuan handed over a report and sighed in his heart. Originally, he thought that the older brother had finally considered his younger brother a peer, but it turns out that the older brother was still guarded. ‘Why are you two acting like you love each other? Amitabha, Buddha! Zaija has once again, thought of something wrong…’ Rong Xuan silently confessed his sins.
Although Emperor Shixi didn’t know much about this world, he still understood a little bit. He knew that he had no status here; the Yan family wasn't his. An illegitimate son couldn’t get an inheritance, not as long as Yan Xuyao was alive. As for killing Yan Xuyao in order to take over the family… Emperor Shixi had already taken over the body of his brother, so killing the Yan family's master was just courting death. Doing so, wasn’t it just begging to be killed by the Heavens?
He didn’t care about the Yan family. What he wanted was the emperor's throne. In his mind, the Yan Family was nothing more than a family of royal merchants. In Samsara, not only did he have to approve of this sort of families every year, he also raided quite a few of them, so he knew how wealthy a royal merchant's family was, ah.
【A/N: Du Qing, Gao Jie, you two caused a lot of trouble ah. Du Qing innocently raises his head. ⊙﹏⊙ “Ah?” 】
When he opened the door, the eyes of the women outside made him feel exposed. Emperor Shixi didn’t want to deal with the stunned and curious gazes, so he turned around and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows. These things couldn’t be found in Samsara. The windows overlooked the densely packed roads and pedestrians. Emperor Shixi was shocked in his heart, he felt it was all unreal.
“Isn’t it good to be together forever? Lets face even the end of the world together?…”
"Hey." Emperor Shixi answered the phone.
"Nuo-ah, it's me. This brother might not be able to go out tonight anymore. Later, when this brother has time, then I'll look for you ah!" Gao Jie had no choice but to coax him. He was somewhere extremely noisy. Originally, he had prepared to celebrate with Yan Nuo, but now, there was no way it was going to happen.
"Oh, ok, I got it." Emperor Shixi frowned, it was really noisy on the other end of the call, but he was glad that he didn’t have to meet up with Gao Jie. He really wanted to avoid arousing any suspicions.
Emperor Shixi hung up the phone and sighed in relief.
To the side, the branch manager and the secretary watched him unblinkingly. Upon seeing the elegant and handsome man frown, they also frowned. When they heard him sigh, they wished they could do something. They wondered what had been said to this unknown man. They were all moved when they saw him sigh, especially the secretary. She cursed at the chairman unceasingly in her heart. Was it him who had dared to make this person feel distressed? Then she suddenly switched her train her thought, ‘This man and the boss…who is on top and who is at the bottom? Is the boss not good??’
Back in the office, Rong Xuan had finished making his report and was prepared to leave. Yan Xuyao thought for a moment and said casually, "Rong Xuan, next time you see Yan Nuo, call him Second Young Master."
As if he couldn’t hear the roars that had erupted inside Rong Xuan's heart, Yan Xuyao went back to examining the documents.
"Yes, boss." He knew it. He knew it!! The day had finally come. He knew that there was going to be a Second Young Master one day. Fortunately, Yan Nuo had always been upright and honest. ‘Ah, your mother. Just previously, you were being YY-ed. Then you showed him a love-hate relationship. Now you’ve changed it to love and respect between brothers. One day, will you be kind and just love one another, dear?’
"What are you all looking at?" When Rong Xuan came out, he saw everyone staring at a person. It was Emperor Shixi, who was currently leaning against the wall, "Second young master, the boss asked for you to come in."
When the onlookers heard this, they were all petrified. When did the Yan family have two young masters ah???
