Chapter 1394: Chapter 1216: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

At the entrance of the Long Family, several guards were present. As soon as they saw Long Aixi returning, they hurriedly saluted him, "Young Master!"

The demeanor of Long Aixi towards these guards was entirely different from when he was in Peach Blossom Village. He stood very straight and waved his hand at them, exuding a commanding presence.

Wasn’t this the very image of a Young Master?

Xia Dabao felt a surge of emotions.

Was this still the gentle Long Aixi she knew?

However, when Long Aixi turned to look at Xia Dabao, a gentle expression returned to his eyes, "This is the main entrance of the Long Family’s base. Let’s hurry inside; I will take you to meet my parents first."

"Okay," Xia Dabao, who was still busily finishing the last candied haw, walked along, looking around and marveling, "Xiao’ai, your home is even more impressive than the Yamen in the county, it’s my first time being in such an imposing place!"

Long Jiaxi smiled, "If you like it, you are welcome to stay here as long as you want."

"Sure, I’d like to taste what it’s like being a Young Master myself!" laughed Xia Dabao.

"You wouldn’t be the Young Master, rather..." Long Aixi nearly blurted out "the grand lady" but corrected himself quickly, "the young miss."

"Alright, then I’ll taste what it’s like to be a young miss," Xia Dabao smiled back at him.

...

Lu Jianxi and Long Jiaxi were in the hall handling some gang affairs when they heard someone report that Long Aixi had returned, bringing a young lady with him.

Lu Jianxi immediately stood up, excitedly asking Long Jiaxi, "Could it be Dabao who has come?"

"Probably," Long Jiaxi also stood up.

Right after he spoke, Long Aixi walked in with Xia Dabao.

The Long Family was not like Peach Blossom Village; Long Aixi had to perform formalities upon seeing his parents, "Father, Mother, your son has returned!"

And Xia Dabao also performed a courtesy, then sweetly said, "Dabao pays respects to Uncle Long Three, Aunt Jianxi."

Lu Jianxi was quite fond of Xia Dabao. She first glanced at her son, and although sad to see him somewhat sunburnt, she approached Xia Dabao, "I didn’t expect Dabao to come over as well!"

"Aunt Jianxi, I hope my coming here doesn’t cause you any trouble," said Xia Dabao, who was somewhat shy since it was her first visit.

"Not at all," Lu Jianxi took Xia Dabao’s hand, "We are more than happy that you could come. How would it be a bother? Was the journey tiresome?"

Xia Dabao shook her head, "Not really, Xiao’ai takes good care of people; it wasn’t tiring."

"That’s good. Are you hungry? Aunt Jianxi will have someone prepare a meal and set up a room for you to properly welcome and cleanse you from the journey," said Lu Jianxi.

"Aunt Jianxi, I ate quite a lot on the way here, I’m afraid I might not be able to eat for a while," Xia Dabao said with an awkward smile, wishing she hadn’t eaten so much earlier.

"Alright, then let’s not eat right now. Rest for a bit first. After you’ve had some rest, Aunt Jianxi will take you around for a tour," Lu Jianxi welcomed Xia Dabao and then turned to give her son a careful look.

"A bit thinner, a bit darker, but looking very spirited; you must have had a lot of fun in Peach Blossom Village?" Lu Jianxi remarked.

Long Aixi smiled and considerately replied, "Mother, you said I could play as I wished, and Peach Blossom Village was really fun. I did many things I had never done before."

"As long as you enjoyed yourself, Mother won’t say anything more. You’ve been traveling for several days, and you must be tired. Come on down and rest a while!"
