Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Selfish Desires

"Well, you don’t have to worry now, I’m involved with a national project," Xia Yue said with a smile to Xia Yu.

"Yan Mo, I don’t know exactly what project you’re involved in, but I assume it’s quite confidential with you on board. Yueyue has never worked before, so if she makes any mistakes, I hope you won’t be too harsh," Xia Yu said to Yan Mo, looking him in the eyes.

Yan Mo glanced at Xia Yue, who nodded to him.

"No big deal. Miss Xia will just be doing some light work," Yan Mo nodded and said.

"Big brother, I will do well. I will contact you every few days and if anything major comes up, I will inform you. Now, I must leave. I will send you a message when I arrive at the location. Let’s go, Mr. Yan," Xia Yue said to Xia Yu in a flurry, then quickly opened the car door and urged them to leave.

"Call me when you get there," Xia Yu said, looking at her eagerness.

"Understood. Make sure to lock the door when you leave and remember to clean the house twice a week, bye," Xia Yue nodded while smiling then said to him.

After that, Chen Bing drove off the Villa District.

"You haven’t told your brother where you’re going?" Yan Mo looked at Xia Yue and asked.

"No, I just told him I’m going out of town with you to work for a long time. He didn’t believe it, so he came to verify it with you," Xia Yue shook her head.

"Right. From now on, we are partners. You don’t need to be so formal with me. You can call me Yan Si Ge or Mo Ge, like the others," Yan Mo said with a smile.

"Okay, you can call me Xia Yue, Xiaoyue or Xiaoxia," Xia Yue nodded, noticing a slight change in his attitude, which was previously distant.

"Xiaoyue, you can call me Chen Bro or Bing Bro, or even Chen Number Two. That’s what the brothers call me," Chen Bing, who was driving, said with a smile.

"Alright, Chen Bro," Xia Yue cheerfully replied.

"Leaving Kyoto for a while could be beneficial. By now, those people no longer believe that you are the fake heiress of the Xia family," Yan Mo said to Xia Yue.

"What? Everyone knows? That can’t be. The betrothal ceremony is still a month away," Xia Yue asked in surprise, looking at him.

"The circle is rather small. When your brother took the real heiress to change her name, people figured it out, and the Xia family didn’t deny it. It was found out rather quickly,-" Yan Mo, who was part of the circle, had more concrete information due to his involvement with Xia Yue’s case.

"Oh, then it’s indeed better for me to leave now," Xia Yue nodded.

"You don’t seem very sad?" Yan Mo looked at her indifference and asked, curiously.

"Hehe, I’m the type of person who likes to go with the flow. If I’m not part of the Xia family, then so be it. Our relations won’t break down. I could even visit them occasionally.

However, I do feel guilty. The one who suffered the most innocently here should be Xia Xi. I heard that she was enslaved by my biological parents since she was little. It was not until seven years later, when her master paid fifty thousand yuan to move her household registration under his name and took her back, that her life improved. But even then, it certainly was not as good as mine," Xia Yue shook her head, a hint of guilt in her tone.

"So, would you like to go back and acknowledge them?" Yan Mo asked curiously.

"No, call me selfish but I like the way things are now," Xia Yue answered directly.

She had already given this matter much thought, no matter how she considered it, she didn’t want to recognize her biological parents. She didn’t want to establish any emotional ties with them. She felt that her current life was especially good. Although it might appear selfish, she believed that one’s life should be their own. As long as she was happy and content, that was enough.
