Chapter 2

"Master, Master and Madam are waiting downstairs for you to have breakfast together." The butler's nonchalant words didn't waver in the slightest.
Even though I hadn't opened my eyes, I nodded in satisfaction.
As expected of the well-trained British butler.
It was exactly like this.I straightened up and stretched.
My arms that had been lying on the ground for several hours felt sore.
How many nights had I slept in the study room?
The company that I had taken over a few days ago actually had someone fakely report the accounts.
If I hadn't discovered it in time, I would have lost at least tens of millions this time.Although it wasn't a lot, I didn't want to suffer unnecessary losses on the battlefield.I found the fake account.
There shouldn't be anything wrong, but why do I feel like I've forgotten something?Looking at my sleeping robes, I decided to go down and have breakfast with my parents.
After thinking about it, I shrugged.
So what?
There was no cure in their eyes anyway.
I got up and was about to walk out of the door when the housekeeper suddenly said, "Young Master.""..."When I heard his voice, I turned to look at him, and then I saw the shirt on his hands.
Oh, it's ready.
I reached out to take the shirt and walked to the bathroom in the study.
After washing up, I changed into the shirt and went downstairs.
Ten more minutes had passed.I wondered if my two noble parents were still waiting there.The housekeeper walked in front of me and respectfully opened the door to the dining room.
I saw my father and mother talking about something at the dining table.
I walked in lightly, and the housekeeper beside me pulled out a chair for me.
Well, this time the housekeeper was quite nice.
It was the old housekeeper's job."Xianche, why did you let us wait so long?" My father frowned and asked when he saw me sitting down.
I lowered my head and didn't say anything.
It wasn't like I wanted them to wait.
Instead, it was my fault.
His father didn't say a word and didn't say another word.
The entire family began to eat their breakfast quietly.Because I was in the middle of my high school summer vacation, I decided to take care of everything in Britain before I went to the Holy Orchid Institute.
I wasn't sure how many chances I would have to go to the company to deal with things after I went to the isolated island.
I quickly finished my breakfast and decided to leave first.
However, my father's words nailed me to the dining table.Shangguan En said slowly: "I have already hired a tutor for you.
You have to learn music from him before school starts."House teacher?
I tried to control my emotions.
I couldn't get angry, I couldn't get angry.
I didn't want to ruin the fake image of me being obedient in front of them.
I looked up and forced a smile.
"Father, I've been dealing with the company..."Before I could finish, Guanen snorted coldly and said, "You've always been in the company since you were young.
The Shangguan family isn't poor enough to have a child like you maintain your family business!
You have to learn this as well.
If you don't, you have to learn.
Otherwise, I'll have your grandfather fire all those people who put you in the company!
Don't forget that you're still underage!"When I heard Shangguan En's words, I felt a little dejected.
Indeed, because I was still underage, I had to participate indirectly in the company's affairs.
The execution was carried out by my heart.
Seriously, I actually used this to threaten me.
I coughed to cover up my anger."Since it's my father's decision, I'll take my leave now.
I'll take my leave first, mother." I stood up and bowed elegantly to my father and mother before leaving the dining room."Young Master Shangguan, you've been in office for two short months and you've performed so well.
You're amazing." The middle-aged man sitting opposite me smiled and praised me.
I couldn't tell if it was true or false.I smiled.
I had heard too much praise, and it was of no use to me.
I picked up a glass of wine and shook it gently.
The purple wine swirled around the glass.
If it weren't for the fact that there weren't enough contacts here, I wouldn't have wasted my precious time with clients."I would like to invite you to a fun place, Young Master Shangguan, as a part of the busy work.
I wonder if Young Master Shangguan would be willing to give me face..."I could hear the man's underlying meaning.
I looked at the glossy glistening wine glass and downed it in one gulp.
Then, I smiled and said, "Of course I can."I would never agree to this kind of invitation on normal days, not only because I wanted to maintain my serious image and face with my parents, but also because I had a serious obsession with cleanliness.
But today, because of my father's own actions, I felt a little sullen.
It was better to go to some exciting places to play.After all, I'm not a kind person.I couldn't figure out why these people had such poor taste.
Did they think something good would happen in a place like this?
When the man saw me narrowing his eyes, he hurriedly said, "Young Master Shangguan, there's something else here that we can't play with.""..."When I heard the man's words, I was curious.
I, Shangguan Xianche, had played a lot of things.
What was there that I hadn't?
I had to admit that this aroused my curiosity.
I followed the man inside.
Suddenly, a petite, long-haired woman bumped into my arms.I furrowed my brows unhappily.?Is this how you treat me?Seeing my displeased expression, the middle-aged man standing next to me reached out and pulled the woman out of my arms.
Upon closer inspection, I found that...
this was a man!
I started to wonder where I had come from.
However, why did I feel like I had seen this boy somewhere?
It was a familiar feeling.I grabbed the boy's chin and forced him to raise his head.
His green eyes that were filled with grievance and coquettishness entered my line of sight.
I was stunned.
The boy actually slapped my hand away and said, "Shangguan Xianche!
As your governess, I need to stop you from coming to a place like this..."A governess?
My face must be twitching right now.
This child is my tutor.
Please, he's just a middle school student.
I'm not interested in having fun anymore.
I apologized to the middle-aged man, but he nodded.I was about to leave, but I didn't expect the child standing in front of me to suddenly grab my shirt and take me with him.I furrowed my brows in disgust.
I told him that I had a strong obsession with cleanliness, right?
Feeling my terrifying aura, the resolute boy, Nuonuo, released his hand and begged, "Xianche...
take me back with you.
I can't go back..."I looked at the boy sleeping soundly in the car.
Was I so kind?
Bringing someone home with an unknown origin?
Oh, maybe he was really a tutor hired by Shangguan Ben.
But I still found it a little unbelievable.
As far as I knew, my schedule wouldn't be known to anyone, not even to the housekeeper I trusted.Why did this little guy find me?Could it be...
could it be that he'd been planning to go to that place from the start?
Hmph, it's not like he looks.
I'm getting more and more disgusted with the tutor.
