Under the European-style crystal chandelier, a face carved like a work of art was half-shadowed, exuding a dangerous aura.
He was the noblest king in the European century.
This thought suddenly popped into Xia Sanghuan's mind.
She didn't deliberately avoid the man's gaze. Instead, she gave a faint smile and asked, "Excuse me, where is my room?"
Leng Chuanjin raised his sword-shaped eyebrows slightly.
The calmness and generosity about her seemed to be inborn. She was nothing like those coquettish and affected young ladies.
Sure enough, she was a different woman.
Xia Anying, on the other hand, was completely different from her.
As soon as she entered the door, her eyes never left the furniture. Shock flashed across her ambitious eyes.
If the Fu family was magnificent, then the Leng family was simply breathtakingly luxurious!
"Uncle Wang," he called the butler without much words.
Wang Fu quickly stepped forward respectfully and said to Xia Sanghuan, "Miss, please follow me."
Just as Xia Sanghuan was about to respond, Xia Anying stepped in front of her, looking unhappy.
She took a step forward and blocked Xia Sanghuan completely. Then she scolded Wang Fu discontentedly, "Are you pretending not to see me? Why don't you take me to my room first?"
She deliberately assumed the posture of the hostess, thinking that she needed to establish her authority in this new environment so that she could subdue these insolent servants!
Little did she know that Wang Fu was utterly speechless at this moment.
He had been in the Leng family for many years, and even Leng Chuanjin had always treated him kindly.
He had never seen such an arrogant outsider!
Almost instinctively, Wang Fu was sure that this woman was definitely not the little daughter the Fu family had recently found. She was so ill-mannered, just like a country woman.
"Sorry, my elder sister is a bit naive. Mr. Wang, please don't take it to heart," Xia Sanghuan said softly, noticing Wang Fu's unhappiness.
A smile immediately appeared on Wang Fu's face. He sighed that this was the upbringing a young lady of a noble family should have.
Filled with dissatisfaction, Xia Anying immediately raised her voice, "What I do has nothing to do with you! Don't act like you're so sensible."
She couldn't stand Xia Sanghuan's hypocritical appearance the most. It was as if she was so magnanimous, but in fact, she was just annoying.
Anyway, they were no longer in the Xia family, so she didn't need to pretend to be a good girl. Her true colors were completely revealed.
Xia Sanghuan looked calm. She slightly curved her lips and said, "Don't forget, the host of this family is still sitting there. It's not up to you to decide."
As soon as these words were spoken, the arrogance on Xia Anying's face instantly froze.
Leng Chuanjin's eyes shifted slightly and stopped on Xia Sanghuan.
A smile curled up on his lips.
Was she trying to shift the blame to him when things got out of hand?
Xia Sanghuan, he was becoming more and more interested in this girl.
If Xia Sanghuan knew his thoughts at this moment, she would surely say that he had too much drama in his head.
All she wanted to do was to make Xia Anying recognize her own position.
As she said, Leng Chuanjin took a step forward and walked towards them against the light.
He was like a god in a myth, noble and charming.
Xia Anying swallowed all her words and stared fixedly at Leng Chuanjin, almost in a daze.
Besides being in a daze, she was also incredibly shocked.
There really was such a perfect man in the world. With a superior family background, a handsome face, and a tall figure.
He was simply the ideal man in every girl's heart!
Xia Anying's gaze was so intense that not only did Leng Chuanjin frown, but Xia Sanghuan could also clearly sense her thoughts.
Xia Sanghuan nodded slightly as a courtesy.
"Sorry to make you laugh."
There wasn't much sincerity in her apology. Anyone could tell that she was just perfunctory.
Leng Chuanjin, however, just smiled.
"It's okay," he turned around. "Uncle Wang, take the two ladies to their rooms."
Xia Anying's eyes were full of pink bubbles. Seeing the man about to leave, she was extremely reluctant. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Leng, I'm not very familiar with this place. Could you show me around?"
As soon as she said this, Wang Fu beside her tried hard not to roll his eyes.
This arrogant young lady really thought of herself as the mistress of this place?
What she said was so taken for granted that it was really offensive just to hear it.
Leng Chuanjin paused slightly and tilted his head. "Don't understand?"
Even though she knew he couldn't see her, Xia Anying quickly nodded heavily, her face full of expectation.
"Then let Uncle Wang show you around the Leng family."
Leaving these words behind, the man strode up the spiral French staircase with his long legs.
Xia Anying felt as if she had fallen from heaven to hell. She stared at him in disbelief, and then was embarrassed by the rejection.
She clenched her fists angrily.
At this time, Wang Fu stepped forward with a faint smile on his face. "Miss, I'm very familiar with the Leng family. Please follow me."
The person she was looking forward to was gone. What was the point of wandering around!
Xia Anying was so angry that she gasped for breath, and her voice became much louder. "Just take me to my room. Don't make so much fuss!"
Xia Sanghuan watched her getting angry coldly from the side.
Naturally, Wang Fu didn't indulge Xia Anying. He casually found a servant to take her back to her room, and then respectfully turned to Xia Sanghuan.
He led Xia Sanghuan to a place on the second floor. "Miss Xia, this is your room. The servants have already prepared everything."
Xia Sanghuan nodded politely at him and glanced at the door for a second.
It was an expensive-looking European-style door, made of solid wood in white, with intricate patterns carved in gold around it.
Wang Fu opened the door for her and said, "Miss Xia, if you need anything in the future, just tell us servants. We'll be at your service at any time."
Sure enough, a butler from a noble family. His attitude and tone made people feel very comfortable.
She nodded. "Thank you. I'm fine for now. You can go and do your work."
Uncle Wang said it was okay and respectfully backed out of the room.
He could tell that this Miss Xia had an extraordinary temperament, far beyond the average person.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely look around the room after entering.
But this Miss Xia, after entering the room, was not only polite to him, a servant, but also very well-behaved in every move.
Such upbringing was really beyond the reach of ordinary young ladies. Wang Fu sighed silently.
As he thought, Xia Sanghuan sat on the sofa and just took a quick look around the room.
The facilities in the room were very complete, similar to those in the Xia family, but there were still some differences.
Perhaps because the host of this family didn't like bright colors, the walls were a monotonous gray, and the furniture was all black.
Xia Sanghuan didn't care much about these things.
She gently rubbed the surface of the sofa with her fingers.
Just in this short while, she found that all the furniture in the room was custom-made and worth at least five digits.
Xia Sanghuan didn't think that Leng Chuanjin would be kind enough to prepare a room for her personally.
