Chapter 42 - Meeting the Parents (Part 1) (1/2)

Master Xia woke up today feeling like this day would be an excellent one. This might be partially due to the delicious dinner that he had eaten the previous night.

In fact, his steps were filled with vigor and enthusiasm that Madam Xia could not help but be influenced by her husband.

However, as soon as they had reached the stairs, they were met with this tense atmosphere.

Master Xia's sharp eyes surveyed the crowd and he noticed the tiny creases on his youngest son's suit as well as on the young man next to him.

His brows were slightly furrowed as he tried to figure out what had happened before they had arrived.

Was there a bad blood between that pale-looking young man and his son?

But it didn't seem like it!

Just by looking at the infatuated look on Xia Jinhu's face while he stole a few glances over at the young man, Master Xia immediately discarded that thought.

Receiving no response to the question he had posed, Master Xia had no other choice but to turn to Butler Zuo. ”What happened here?”

As a loyal butler of the Xia Family for many years now, Butler Zuo could be considered as one of the trusted aides of Xia Renjian.

”A pleasant morning to you, Master and Madam!” Butler Zuo did not forget to greet the husband and wife. ”There is not a need for you to worry. We are truly fortunate that nothing serious had happened, thanks to this young man here.”

Hearing Butler Zuo's report, Master Xia did not ask for more details about the matter. He was much more interested in knowing about the two young men who seemed to be twin brothers.

Upon noticing the inquisitive gazes directed at them, Di Yi and Di Er stood attentively before giving a courteous bow.

”Good morning!” They said in unison.

Di Yi then just repeated his earlier introduction, ”I am Di Yi and this is my younger brother Di Er.”

Observing them at the side, Butler Zuo nodded his head in satisfaction. He was right to think highly of Di Yi and Di Er.

These two were not bad indeed.

. . .

After they had introduced themselves as Xia Jiannan's bodyguards, Master Xia and Madam Xia found out through Xia Jinhu himself that he was saved by Di Yi.

There's no need to ask how Xia Jinhu narrated his 'Knight in shining armor saves the Prince' story to his parents. After all, everyone was aware of how melodramatic he could be.

But listening to what he had just said, minus all the exaggerations, Master Xia and Madam Xia naturally felt indebted to Di Yi for saving their son.
