Mistaken Identity (2)

~ Chapter 63 ~

Wang Rouxi remained silent and pondered for a moment as she observed Secretary Sun, all information about him ran through her mind.

[ Sun Yiqi. Age 46. Unmarried. Working under Wang Empire Estates ever since he graduated from University. Childhood friends with Wang Huozhen and Shi Linlang... ]

'He is a loyal subordinate,' Wang Rouxi could infer.

She didn't intend to make things difficult for her new secretary, knowing that Wang Huozhen, the infamous Yan Wang [1], should have given him an ultimatum. "Lead the way."

Secretary Sun was surprised but dared not think too much, lest this lady would change her mind.

"Thank you, Miss Rouxi!" He did a 90-degree bow.

The two guards, Wei Shi and Brother Jing, just happened to turn back at this moment to see the reputable secretary bowing towards Wang Rouxi with much deference. The shock they felt was no less than their astonishment when they saw the beautiful goddess.

As they were about to cast another glance at their goddess 'Xinji', Secretary Sun blocked their view.

"Ahem... ahem..." clearing his throat, Secretary Sun faced the two Northern Sky Palace guards, "Kindly open the gates."

"Yes, Sir!"

Wei Shi and Brother Jing immediately returned to their posts, their other peers looking at them curiously.

Why do they look like they had been injected with chicken blood? [2]

Not minding the inquisitive gazes directed at them, Wei Shi and Brother Jing gallantly opened the magnificent gates of Northern Sky Palace for Secretary Sun and their goddess Xinji, even raising their hands in salute as the cars drove passed them.

"Woah! Look at that!"

Looking at the vast expanse of land inside the Northern Sky Palace, Lu Yizhi's curious gaze could not help but wander around the villas which were full of extravagance and grandeur.

This high-end subdivision was the gathering place for the wealthiest people in the capital!

Owning the largest empire in the whole China, it was no surprise that the Wang Family could afford such luxury.

Lu Yizhi couldn't help but look at Wang Rouxi through the rearview mirror, who remained nonchalant all this while.

He still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that their leader was Wang Rouxi!

Now, he understood why she gave him that look earlier. She was actually the one they were supposed to protect!

Lu Yizhi really wanted to strangle those higher-ups at the Headquarters. Were they on drugs?! Why would they task the four of them to protect their leader?

They, her proteges, would protect the mentor?

If it was in ancient times, the five of them could be considered as her disciples! It was her who taught them the skills that they have right now. Would she really need someone to protect her?

Not long after, they reached Villa No. 9. It was situated at the heart of the Northern Sky Palace, covering the most territory, with a crystalline lake, a conservatory and a flower garden right behind it.

In fact, there were only nine villas at the Northern Sky Palace, with villa No. 9 being undoubtedly the best!

Rumors say that the proprietor believes a saying in China that 'reaching to nine heaven' means reaching the realm of God. Thus, they specifically designed the number of villas in the Northern Sky Palace to be nine.

Secretary Sun quickly parked and got out of his car, almost scurrying over to open Wang Rouxi's door for her.

He was fully aware that they should not keep Master Wang waiting for too long. After all these years working for the Wang Family, Secretary Sun obviously knew his temper. Although he was given an hour, it's safer to think that he was only given a quarter of an hour to complete the task.

So without further ado, he helped Miss Rouxi out of her car and led her towards the mansion.

"Please."

Lu Yizhi was left alone inside the car, too flabbergasted to follow the two.

Standing in front of the huge double doors of the Wang Mansion, Wang Rouxi and Secretary Sun did not have to wait for a long time before it was opened by a girl in her early twenties wearing a maid's uniform.

It was the little maid from earlier. She immediately bowed down upon seeing who it was at the door.

"Lady Xinji."

However, the little maid could not help but sneak a peek at her young missus. 'Lady Xinji looks much more beautiful with her new hairstyle,' she thought to herself.

Because she was too distracted by the celestial beauty in front of her, the little maid did not take notice of Secretary Sun standing by the side.

At that moment, Shi Linlang reached the bottom of the stairs and was equally stunned when she saw Wang Rouxi standing at the doorway.

The beautiful woman, who looked much younger than she really was, strode over and linked her arm with Wang Rouxi's.

It had only been a few weeks since she last saw her beloved daughter but now...

"My dear Xinji, I almost did not recognize you!" Shi Linlang gushed, her loving gaze not leaving Wang Rouxi's face.

There was a look of wonder and astonishment in Shi Linlang's eyes as she examined her daughter from head to toe.

She was really surprised to see her only daughter looked much more beautiful than the last time she saw her!

Shi Linlang pulled Wang Rouxi towards the living room and asked affectionately, "Why did you not call that you're coming home? I could have asked the kitchen to prepare something for you..."

At the side, Secretary Sun had an indescribable expression on his face. His eyes followed Shi Linlang's and Wang Rouxi's figures to the living room as they subsequently disappeared from his sight.

He was clearly baffled as to why Madam Wang and the little maid had referred to Miss Rouxi as Lady Xinji.

If the little maid could not tell, surely, Madam Wang should have recognized that this was not her daughter, right?!

Although Miss Rouxi and Wang Xinji bore such striking resemblance, it was still easy to spot their difference with the aura they exuded.

Miss Rouxi gave him the feeling of a 'Queen' capable of leading her kingdom while Wang Xinji paled in comparison. The young missus of the Wang Family was like a stubborn princess from the fairy tales.

Not only that, Wang Xinji was a black-haired beauty while Miss Rouxi was a blonde goddess!

As he was contemplating on whether to interject in their 'mother-daughter' reunion, Secretary Sun then saw the Madam beckoning the little maid over, "Yongren, tell the kitchen to prepare Xinji's favorite dish. Also, call your Master to come down and welcome his daughter. It's been a long time since she last went home."

Oh, shoot!
