C2 Young Master Yao

In the room furnished with dark mahogany furniture, a man is standing in front of the mirror, correcting his tie knot. The man is wearing a full black suit with a black undershirt and a black tie. He looks intimidating in it with a towering height of 198 cm. After adjusting his tie, he adjusted his midnight blue gem cufflinks and collar pins. He ran his hand through his platinum-blonde hair.

There was a knock on the door and a short guy of around 170 cm in height entered the room wearing a gray colored suit.

“Young Master, it’s almost time for the banquet to start. As you required me to check, young lady Lan will be attending the banquet.” Xiao Ye said.

The man looked at him with his purple eyes which are unusual colored orbs. No one in the Yao or Feng family has this eye color. “What about the other details I asked you to check?” Yao Bai asked.

Yao Bai is the young master, and sole heir of two of the four major families in the country, the Yao and Feng families. Today’s banquet is arranged for his 21st birthday and his crowning ceremony as his official appointment as sole heir of Yao and Feng. He will be announced as the CEO of Yao Jia.

Xiao Ye handed him a folder and said, “I’ve gathered all the information about young lady Lan or at least as much as I could find out.” Yao Bai raise his head from the folder he was about to open and glanced at Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye felt the pressure on him rise and started speaking nervously, “We got almost all the information about the young lady but we only could not gather a word about her underground research center. In fact, no one knows that there is a one-under her official laboratory building. You told us not to disturb her so we could not use a further investigation measure.”

Yao Bai remained silent but he continued opening the folder indicating that he accepted the answer. He looked through the folder containing the information on his wife. Soon he finished looking thoroughly and closed the file.

‘So, my wife does appear to be having everything clean on her background except for the underground laboratory. But I don’t think it is as clean as this. I’m looking forward to meeting her today. Let’s see how she reacts though she doesn’t know I’m her husband but that’s good too since I can see how she reacts to me and not the husband appointed to her from her birth to protect her.’ Yao Bai thought to himself.

After closing the file he took out some photos from the folder and look through them. They were pictures of Lan Yirong from her social media. Yao Bai looked at photos one by one and was fascinated by how beautiful yet simple and innocent she looked but there was also a hint of mischief in her eyes. He touch to face in the photo gently and then moved on to the next. It was a group photo, there were two girls and three guys in it. Lan Yirong was standing in the middle and on her left side were two men, on her right side, there was a guy whose hand was wrapped around her shoulder and beside him, there was a girl.

A hint of displeasure and ferocity went across his face and Xiao Ye felt the room temperature go down. Yao Bai felt uncomfortable about some man holding his wife even if he figured that this guy is properly her professor Meng Fang. He could not describe this feeling but he stopped looking at the hand on Yirong’s shoulder and looked at the other three people in the picture. They must be her assistant Xu Mei, her best friend Chen Huang, and his boyfriend Gu Tong. He was surprised when he saw the information that Gu Tong was gay since Gu family would never accept it. But it’s non of his business but he wonders if his best friend, Gu Tong's older brother, Gu Hao knows about his brother. Well, even if he doesn’t, Yao Bai isn’t going to tell him. ‘This is going to be interesting.’ Yao Bai thought.

Yao Bai put the photos and file in the folder and put it on his desk in his room. He looked at Xiao Ye and said, “How much time there is left before my official appearance?”

“It will be around 1-hour young master. All the guests will be here within half an hour and the banquet will officially start. Your father is going to do an announcement before he calls you.” Xiao Ye replied to which Yao Bai hummed. He looked to be thinking something very deeply so Xiao ye didn’t disturb him further. He put the wine bottle from the cabinet and a wine glass on the table and then left the room. He knows the young master loves to drink wine while thinking or observing something interesting.

After about 15 minutes, Yao Bai stood up and went to the window to look outside thinking if his wife has already arrived or will come now. To be honest, the only thing he was looking forward to or was interested in today’s banquet was Lan Yirong, even if it was his first public appearance.

He saw a car stop near the entrance. The driver got out and opened the door of the back seat. A slender ankle with pale milk-white skin covered in midnight blue plump heels. A woman got off the car. Yao Bai first saw the honey-brown colored hair with red scattered in them. They were laid down without any accessories, just natural. The woman was wearing an off-shoulder black dress with midnight blue patterns. The dress was knee-length and had a few layers. It complimented the smooth milk-white skin of the owner. Yao Bai looked at the woman’s face and couldn’t take his eyes off it.

It was her. His wife, Lan Yirong was finally here. It was the first time he saw her in reality, he had only seen her in pictures from childhood till now. Lan Yirong was only wearing light makeup which made her face look natural and enhanced her features rather than completely changing them.

Yao Bai subconsciously had a smirk on his face without him even noticing. He looked down at his cufflink and said to himself, “Well! Well! Isn’t it just fate!” He now smirked knowingly. He was excited to meet her. ‘Her waist looks slander, wonder if it’ll break if I hold it too tight.’ Yao Bai thought and then turned around to pick up a glass from the table and poured wine and started drinking while staring at his wife entering his house.
