Milo Nord returned home two days before the engagement ceremony between Qi Bei and Princess Ming Yue.
He was the eldest grandson of the patriarch, Kurt Nord, and will likely succeed him as the head of the family in the future. Therefore, Milo’s position in the family goes without saying. He was the most powerful and prestigious member of his generation. He was also a high-ranking water mage and currently manages the family’s businesses in ten provinces in the northeast, while also serving as the manager in the Golden Leaf Empire’s Mage Guild.
When Qi Bei returned, the elders in the family did not pay much attention, but when Milo Nord returned, they all appeared and welcomed him warmly. The family also held a grand banquet to celebrate his return. The difference in treatment between the two of them was so great.
However, Qi Bei did not envy him. This was the honor that someone with strength should receive.
The banquet was held in the huge garden of the Nord family, and everyone who held some status in the capital was there.
Huan Ying was dressing Qi Bei in a robe she had sewn herself, her craftsmanship was truly amazing. She was skilled at handiwork, even better than the tailors who made clothes for the royal family.
Looking at Huan Ying, who was fastening his belt, Qi Bei suddenly hugged her, and she bit his chest playfully with her silver teeth, saying, “If you misbehave again, I’ll really bite you.”
“If you bite my chest, I’ll bite your butt. Go ahead and bite me.” Qi Bei smirked.
Huan Ying was a little helpless and felt defeated by Qi Bei’s ruffian behavior. She obediently stayed in his arms and dared not move.
Qi Bei held Huan Ying with both his hands and rubbed his cheek against her ear. He whispered, “I just want to hold you.”
“Um.” Huan Ying responded softly like a cat and also hugged his waist with her arms.
Although the warmth and fragrance in his arms were pleasant, Qi Bei had no inappropriate thoughts. He just looked at the magnificent mansion decorated with various magical lights and suddenly missed the colorful neon lights of his previous life on the streets and the beautiful girl who had once captured his heart.
After a while, Qi Bei gently pushed Huan Ying away and looked at himself in the mirror. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “Oh no!”
“What’s wrong?” Huan Ying asked anxiously, looking up and down at Qi Bei to see if there was anything wrong.
“Wearing the robe you sewed for me, I look so handsome and elegant. How many of those noble ladies and girls will be infatuated with me?” Qi Bei laughed.
Huan Ying gave Qi Bei an annoyed look, but he did inherit his mother’s excellent looks genes, with his slightly curly blond hair and bright black eyes like stars. This combination looked somewhat unusual, but he had a clean smile that made him look good.
“You’re a playboy, young master,” Huan Ying muttered under her breath.
Qi Bei’s ears perked up and he looked at Huan Ying’s beautiful eyes seriously. “This young master just has the appearance of a playboy but actually has the wildest heart. Don’t believe me? Touch it.”
As he said that, Qi Bei pulled Huan Ying’s small hand and placed it on his chest. Huan Ying felt the strong heartbeat of Qi Bei and withdrew her hand like she got an electric shock, pushing him away and saying, “The banquet is about to start. You’ll be late if you don’t go now.”
Qi Bei chuckled and walked out of his own yard, while Huan Ying stayed inside the house with a complex expression, her hands clasped together as if holding a beating heart.
When Qi Bei arrived at the banquet, he ran into his eldest brother, Milo Nord.
“Big brother,” Qi Bei called out lightly. He remembered that this eldest brother did not like him much.
Sure enough, Milo just nodded slightly and passed him by. Qi Bei shrugged his shoulders and looked around, trying to find his real elder brother, Huai’an’s figure.
“Don’t bother looking. Your big brother and my elder sister are hiding over there, talking about love.” Feng Ruoyu appeared out of nowhere, pouting with a dissatisfied look.
“What’s wrong? They are already a couple. Why are you pouting?” Qi Bei picked up a glass of wine and a glass of juice, handing the glass of juice to Feng Ruoyu as he spoke.
“I don’t have any objections, but I suddenly feel like I’m an extra. Qi Bei, why don’t we become a couple too?” Feng Ruoyu took the juice and said casually.
Qi Bei had just taken a sip of wine, but he almost couldn’t help but spray it out when he heard this. He was also thinking about it, but it didn’t seem right. In two more years… Well, if the little beauty asked for it, they could start with a kiss on the mouth?
Qi Bei was about to speak, but Feng Ruoyu giggled and said, “You’re not taking it seriously, are you?”
Qi Bei reached out and pinched Feng Ruoyu’s chubby little face, pulling it outwards and said sternly, “Did you just call me Qi Bei again? Call me big brother.”
“Big brother, good big brother. My beautiful little face is going to swell…” Feng Ruoyu immediately begged for mercy.
Qi Bei let go of her and said, “You have to call me big brother from now on. If you call me by my name again, I’ll spank you.”
“What if I want to call you Qi Bei in the future?” Feng Ruoyu blinked her big green eyes and asked.
“Cough cough, you can call me that when you grow up.” Qi Bei coughed twice and shamelessly teased the little loli.
“I’m already grown up.” Feng Ruoyu straightened her back.
Qi Bei glanced at her chest, disdainfully curling his lips.
Feng Ruoyu lowered her head and looked at her still-flat chest. She then looked at several noble ladies who exposed most of their snow-white breasts, feeling a little inferior. But she quickly comforted herself. She was still young now. In a few years, her chest would definitely be as big and perky as her sister’s.
“I’m not talking to you.” Feng Ruoyu stomped her foot, turned around and left. But soon she turned back, giggling, “My good brother, wait for me. In a couple of years, I’ll be qualified to call you by your name.”
“Pfft!” Qi Bei sprayed the wine he had just drunk out of his mouth. This mischievous little witch really understood everything.
Qi Bei held his wine glass and scanned the crowd with his sharp eyes. He saw several noble girls gathering not far away and was about to go over.
“Fifth Brother, I heard you were back. I’m sorry I couldn’t come to see you because I was busy in the academy. Don’t be mad at me, okay?” At that moment, Will Nord walked over with three young men, smiling insincerely at Qi Bei.
Will Nord was 24 years old and assisted in managing the affairs of the Nord Military Academy.
The Nord Military Academy was one of the top three elite academies in the Golden Leaf Empire, founded by the Nord family’s first patriarch, Simon Nord. Most of the graduates became key members of the army controlled by the Nord family.
The vision of the first patriarch of the Nord family was extraordinary, he understood the importance of grooming talents early on.
With the Nord Military Academy, they didn’t have to worry about a lack of backbone in the future.
Milo Nord returned home two days before the engagement ceremony between Qi Bei and Princess Ming Yue.
