Chapter 1410: Chapter 1411: Princess Arrives

“Got it!”

Liu Siyu carefully took the book, which was written entirely in elegant small script. It was neatly arranged and looked very clear.

He wrapped it in his scarf, holding it close to his chest like it was a sacred scripture.

They arrived at Liu Siyu’s rented place.

Just as they got out of the car, a Mercedes-Benz suddenly pulled up on the side.

A woman stepped out of the car and, seeing Liu Siyu, smiled, “Got yourself a boyfriend? What does he do?”

Xiao Chen glanced at the woman. She was about the same height as Liu Siyu, close to 1.7 meters, and her looks were no worse than Liu Siyu’s.

However, she carried a much more worldly vibe.

One look and you could tell she’d been through the company of many men.

She was wearing expensive clothing, her entire being wrapped in a layer of flashy makeup, making it impossible to discern her real skin tone.

“Sales,”

Xiao Chen casually replied.

“Heh, so he’s in sales. Siyu, have you thought about the matter I mentioned last time? If you agree, you can immediately get a respectable job that’s leagues better than what you have now.

President Zhang said he really likes you,”

the woman said, casting a disinterested glance at Xiao Chen before turning her attention back to Liu Siyu.

“I refuse,”

Liu Siyu replied firmly.

“Fine, suit yourself.”

The woman waved dismissively and sauntered off with exaggerated movements.

The man inside the Mercedes-Benz didn’t get out, but Xiao Chen still caught a glimpse of his face.

“Isn’t that Zhang Bin, the HR manager at Dashang Group?”

Xiao Chen furrowed his brows.

“Yes, that’s Manager Zhang.”

Liu Siyu smiled bitterly. “Yu Xiaoyu and I graduated from the same college. We joined Dashang Group together, but she chose the HR department. Now, it seems she’s Manager Zhang’s secretary.”

“Hmph!”

Xiao Chen sneered coldly. He had seen such things too many times. Dashang Group was indeed a cesspool of filth.

All kinds of scum gathered there.

“Alright, go inside. Tomorrow, continue working at Xinmeng Group; everything’s fine at the company.”

After saying this, Xiao Chen drove off.

At Capital City Airport, Flora stood nervously. For someone like her, it was rare to feel this way.

But this time was different, as she was here to receive an esteemed guest.

The Princess of Granland.

A genuine royal family member.

The Granland royalty held very high status at home, and this particular princess wasn’t just a figurehead. She was widely considered the next successor to the queen’s throne.

Granland had always been ruled by queens.

Very soon, a group of people emerged from the airport’s VIP passageway.

More than ten men.

Two women.

At the front was a tall woman with silver long hair, standing about 1.75 meters tall, with a stunning figure.

She was the epitome of a Western beauty.

She looked just like a princess stepped out of an animated film from America.

She garnered the attention of many onlookers around her.

“You guys go to the hotel,”

Victoria glanced back at the men behind her and said.

They were her entourage and bodyguards.

She kept only one person by her side—a woman.

The woman, surprisingly, was Asian, her sharp eyes scanning the surroundings like a hawk, on high alert.

“Flora!”

At this moment, Victoria walked up to Flora.

Her noble aura was palpable.

“Honorable Princess Victoria, we meet again!”

Flora was a little excited.

Victoria was a friend she had met during a visit to Granland, the First Princess of the kingdom, and the most likely successor to the queen’s throne.

“Enough, aren’t we friends?”

Victoria smiled and said, “Hurry up and tell me—who made that jar of sauce you mailed me last time? Let’s go find them quickly.”

“No way, Your Highness, you came all the way to Lailong Kingdom just because of that jar of sauce?”

Flora was speechless.

“Not exactly, I have other matters to attend to. But don’t call me ‘Your Highness’ anymore; just call me Victoria.”

Victoria smiled and said, “But none of that is important. What’s most important is I want to taste the food made by this master chef you mentioned!”

“Your Highness, no—Li Ya, we can’t just eat food from strangers,”

The female bodyguard reminded her sternly.

“Hehe, Flora, isn’t my Dragon Country name nice? From now on, call me Li Ya. That way, no one will guess my identity.

And this is my female knight, Lin Yuxiang.”

Victoria laughed.

“Li Ya? Hmm, it does suit you. But your knight is right—eating just anything is fine for me, but not for someone of your status.”

Flora spoke seriously.

“No one can take away my right to enjoy great food,”

Victoria shook her head and said, “Let’s go, I can’t wait any longer.”

Flora could only relent and took Victoria and Lin Yuxiang to the Xiao Family’s residence.

When the Xiao Family heard Flora had brought friends, they were very welcoming.

At this time, Jiang Meng had already gotten off work and specifically invited everyone inside for tea.

“Jiang Meng, my friend here wants to try Xiao Chen’s cooking. Can you contact him for me?”

Flora asked politely.

“Sure, let me ask him first,”

Jiang Meng called Xiao Chen, explained the situation, and made it clear that if Xiao Chen was unwilling, she wouldn’t force him, as her husband deserved no compromise.

“I’ll be home soon!”

The car drove into the Xiao Family’s siheyuan underground garage.

Xiao Chen entered his courtyard.

And saw Jiang Meng, Flora, and two unfamiliar women drinking tea and chatting.

“Princess Victoria?”

Xiao Chen immediately recognized one of the women.

But he didn’t expose her, merely smiled and said, “Are these Flora’s friends?”

“Yes, this is Li Ya, a young lady from a prominent family in Granland, and the other one is her bodyguard,”

Flora said.

“Oh, I’m Xiao Chen. Nice to meet you both!”

Xiao Chen smiled.

“Husband, you know what? Li Ya’s family is very influential in Granland, as powerful as the Shang Clan here in our Dragon Country,”

Jiang Meng said.

“Really?”

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “Having such friends is a blessing. I heard you wanted to try my cooking—well, I’m free today, so I’ll show you my skills.”

Normally, he wouldn’t bother.

But with his wife present, he had to give her face.

Entering the kitchen, Xiao Chen shook his head and chuckled as he cooked.

Li Ya? Haha, so this woman still remembers the name I gave her.

Princess Victoria was a kind soul who loved adventure.

She once snuck away from her family to venture into the African savanna, narrowly escaping death at the hands of local militias.

Xiao Chen had saved her life and given her a Chinese name.

At the time, Victoria’s eyes were injured and covered, so she had never seen Xiao Chen’s face.

She was unaware that her trip to Dragon Country was, in fact, a journey to find her hero.

And also a vacation.

As for her female knight Lin Yuxiang, she was a bodyguard trained by the Xiao Corporation and a former champion of Granland’s martial arts competition.

Both of them, it seemed, were tied to Xiao Chen in some way.
