Even if she acknowledged her two biological brothers in the future, Ye Xinglan, who had taken care of her for five years and protected her until she reached adulthood, would always be her most important relative.
Even her brothers would have to come behind Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli.
Having calmed her emotions, Ye Xingbei suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to mention to her elder brother about her replaced spare chocolates.
Never mind.
She honestly didn’t have the courage to call her elder brother again.
After all, her elder brother would soon be coming to Jiang City.
She would tell him in person once he arrived.
As for her second brother, there’s no telling where he’s off gallivanting…
He’s even less reliable than Xiao Shu, so it’s probably better not to bother mentioning this to him.
Ye Xingbei sighed, drank some water, calmed her emotions, and began her busy day.
Her work at the Star Palace was new to her, and she was on her feet all day.
It wasn’t until after three in the afternoon that she finally took a breather.
Having been out and about all day, her feet were killing her.
Looking at the time, it was just over an hour before she needed to pick up her son from school.
She planned to return to her office, drink some water, rest for half an hour, then go pick up her son.
Upon opening the office door, a large man sitting on the couch immediately stood up, gave her an excited glance, and deeply bowed to her.
“Xueno? You’re here!” Seeing the large man bowing to her, Ye Xingbei, tired as she was, immediately perked up, quickly running over to lift the bowing man, smiling with her eyes crinkling, “Xueno, did you sort out the paperwork?”
This large man, called Ye Xueno, was her personal guard sent by her elder brother, Ye Xinglan.
Her elder brother’s mother was a member of the Z Nation’s royal family.
Z Nation was a slave state.
Xueno was a slave of the Ye family, highly skilled in martial arts.
When she went to Z Nation with her elder brother, her brother assigned Xueno to her as her personal bodyguard.
Xueno was rescued by the elder brother from the Beast Fighting Arena.
When her brother saved Xueno, Xueno was only twelve years old.
According to her second brother, that day, Xueno was the only one among all the slaves fighting the beasts who survived till the end.
Her elder brother thought that Xueno was a martial arts prodigy, so he bought him.
Not only was Xueno good at combat, able to handle a hundred men, he was also unusually handsome.
He was tall and straight, with distinctive sharp features, exceptional good looks.
The only flaw was that Xueno’s former Slave Master was a sadist, and for a minor offense, he had Xueno’s tongue cut in half.
Xueno could speak, but his speech was unclear and only those familiar with him could understand him.
Because of this, Xueno rarely spoke in front of others.
Even in front of her, he did not like to speak.
Ye Xingbei didn’t mind this at all.
She liked Xueno.
Xueno was honest, righteous, kind, attentive, and also a great cook.
In her eyes, Xueno was almost the perfect man.
It was a pity that such a good man had been brainwashed by his former owner and submissiveness was ingrained deep in his bones. She had told him over and over that she was not from Z Nation, nor was she a slave master.
She was only his employer, their relationship of that between a superior and a subordinate.
It could even be considered a friendship, a familial relationship.
But Xueno refused to listen, always seeing himself as a slave.
This point left Ye Xingbei quite frustrated.
She held Xueno’s arm and said with a bright smile, “Xueno, haven’t I told you? In our country, we don’t use Z Nation’s customs, so there’s no need for all this.. When you see me, a casual greeting will do!”
