章 10: Chapter 10 Have You Taken a Liking to Me?_1

"But getting hitched ain't that bad, what bugs me is why the hell do I have to marry someone on behalf of another? What's this nonsense!"

"You don't need to bother with these details. All you need to know is that you are now the Young Master of the Ye Family of Zhonghai, and you're to marry the eldest daughter of the Ling Family," Luo Jingxuan said, looking at Ye Luo with a solemn expression and speaking in a firm tone.

"Can I ask why I have to replace this so-called Young Master Ye? Where's the guy?"

"He's dead. That's why you need to take his place. This is all the information about the Young Master of the Ye Family. Read it once and remember it all."

Luo Jingxuan took out a file from the table next to her and handed it to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo took the file and was immediately stunned.

Ni ma, isn't this me?

Looking at the photo of the so-called Ye Family Young Master on the file, Ye Luo was utterly bewildered. The person in the photo was undoubtedly himself, looking exactly alike, though the man in the photo appeared more wasteful and defiant, the epitome of a profligate young master.

However, when Ye Luo finished reading the introduction of this Ye Family young master, he was completely speechless. Not only did the Ye Family young master have the same appearance, but even his name, age, height, and so on were no different from his own; it was like a cloned existence.

After finishing reading the information, Ye Luo's lips twitched, and he said, "I really want to know what's going on here. This can't be a coincidence, right?"

"Of course it isn't a coincidence, because you were brought up by my grandfather from a young age to be the Ye Family young master's substitute," Luo Jingxuan said indifferently to Ye Luo.

"What? A substitute? I'm actually a substitute? That's too miserable, that damn old man is really awful!"

After learning that he was just a substitute, Ye Luo was instantly not having it, and his face showed disgruntlement.

To think of Ye Luo, handsome and dashing, infinitely charming, highly skilled in martial arts, with top-notch medical skills, a talent rare in this world, and now reduced to a substitute, this was unacceptable!

"You don't need to be so angry. Even though you were initially raised as a substitute for the Ye Family young master, my grandfather genuinely treated you as his disciple. It's just that now the Ye Family young master has encountered problems, and you are needed to stand in for him and fulfill this marriage arrangement."

"Hmph, that old man is lucky to have a disciple like me; that's the result of his eight lifetimes of good fortune. But I won't stoop to his level," Ye Luo mumbled, then suddenly his angry expression disappeared, replaced by one of indifference.

"So, do you accept this task?" Luo Jingxuan's gaze was fixed on Ye Luo.

"I might accept it, but let me tell you, I don't think you have me replacing this Ye Family young master for something as simple as marrying some Ling Family young mistress."

Ye Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, twinkling with insight, and he wore a smile as he looked back at the other person.

"You're smart. It seems my grandfather indeed wasn't wrong about you."

Luo Jingxuan said lightly, "The Ye Family was once one of the four great families of Zhonghai, but a year ago, the Family Head of the Ye Family suddenly died. Then came the mysterious disappearance of this Ye Family young master's parents, and just a few days ago, the Ye Family young master himself died without a trace. I suspect all of this is connected to the Ling Family, so I need you to get close to the Ling Family to find out everything and take over their wealth."

"I see, so that's how it is. What's your relationship with that Ye Family young master?"

"My name is Luo Jingxuan, I'm his maternal aunt. I can't just let my sister's son die like that, nor can I allow the Ye Family to be destroyed."

Saying this, Luo Jingxuan's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Alright, first memorize all the information about my nephew. You can't afford to slip up. I'm going to take a shower."

After speaking, Luo Jingxuan walked towards a room to one side.

"This task is interesting!"

Ye Luo looked at the information in his hand, a smile curving at the corner of his mouth.

"I hope that Miss Ling Family isn't too ugly; otherwise, it would be such a waste for a man like me," Ye Luo muttered.

According to his standards for choosing a partner, she had to score at least eighty before he'd consider her, and to marry him, not only did her appearance require an eighty, but her inner beauty couldn't be lower than eighty either. His master had said that true beauties are both beautiful inside and out.

Suddenly, Luo Jingxuan emerged, drying her wet hair with a towel in her hands, wearing a long white shirt that revealed a pair of long, fair, beautiful legs.

After her bath, Luo Jingxuan had a hint of allure, just like a lotus flower rising out of the water.

Ye Luo gently coughed and turned his head away, "Hey, hey, I'm still here; aren't you being a bit too bold?"

Although he possessed the Clairvoyant Eye, he wouldn't casually peep at beautiful women. After all, if he was going to look, he had to do it openly and aboveboard. That was far better.

"You should go to the bathroom and take a shower now; you look too scruffy," Luo Jingxuan said, eyebrows slightly furrowed, as she looked at Ye Luo's unkempt and sharp appearance. As for her appearing in just a shirt, she didn't find it inconvenient at all.

It wasn't the ancient times where showing an arm could lead to beheading; it was just regular clothing, and she was used to it at home.

Without refusal, Ye Luo stood up and headed straight for the bathroom. It had been half a month since his last bath, so it was about time to clean up.

Just as Ye Luo entered the bathroom, something seemed to occur to Luo Jingxuan, her face changed color, and she was about to speak. However, Ye Luo had already gone in, and her pretty face turned red.

At this moment, as Ye Luo stepped into the bathroom, he promptly started to take off his clothes efficiently, but his gaze caught sight of some items on top of the washing machine.

"This..."

"Didn't expect this seemingly quiet and elegant beauty to fancy this kind of stuff; looks like she's a dark horse!"

A sly grin appeared on Ye Luo's face, and his eyes twinkled with a devilish light.

He immediately looked away and began to take a hot shower.

Having not bathed for half a month, the feeling of being showered in hot water was just too comfortable!

Outside the bathroom, Luo Jingxuan had just arrived when she heard the sound of cheerful singing coming from inside. She chuckled and felt her tense heart relax slightly.

In less than ten minutes, Ye Luo finished his shower. As he opened the door, he saw Luo Jingxuan standing in front of him.

"Whoa, Miss Luo, what are you doing?"

Seeing Luo Jingxuan in front of him, Ye Luo took a few steps back and then said, "Miss Luo, you couldn't possibly have fallen for me, could you? This... I mean I think... maybe..."

"Since you've fallen for me, I guess I could make the sacrifice and accept you, come on! Come at me with whatever you've got; I'm the wild horse of the steppes!"

Ye Luo closed his eyes and spread his arms wide, making a face ready to offer himself.

"Get out!"

Luo Jingxuan, her face red, pushed Ye Luo out, and immediately closed the door behind him.
