Chapter: 3399

Just then, a servant ran in and reported: "Grandfather, Cousin, Princess Helena has arrived."

As soon as Ye Hao heard that Helena was here, his gloomy expression slightly softened.

This Princess Helena was the fiancée of Ye Hao, the princess of the Northern European royal family, Helena of Ilia.

Although the Ye family and the Ilia family had already reached a consensus on their marriage alliance, they hadn't yet officially registered their union. So, out of courtesy and to avoid paparazzi media rumors, the Ye family didn't arrange for Helena to live in their villa.

After arriving in Yanjing, Helena stayed at the White Gold Han Palace Hotel, but during the day she would often visit the Ye house and sometimes accompany Ye Hao on a tour around Yanjing.

Ye Hao was extremely fond of Helena. Not only because Helena bore the title of Northern European royal princess, which made him feel proud, but also because Helena herself was an excellent European beauty with exceptional appearance, temperament, and physique.

At this moment, a tall and slender white-skinned girl wearing a white long dress and golden hair flowing down her shoulders like a waterfall walked in.

Her skin was whiter than snow, with a radiant glow, and those cobalt-blue eyes were as deep and alluring as the ocean. Her high-bridged nose and thin red lips were like a finely crafted art piece, making her appearance and physique truly rare in the world.

Her arrival lit up the entire Ye family reception hall, as if it had suddenly become brighter.

Helena was five years younger than Ye Hao and was just 24 years old this year.

She is the crown princess of Northern Europe and was originally the first-in-line heir to the throne, but for some unknown reason, her eligibility for the throne was later revoked. As a result, she would be married into the Ye family.

If she were still the crown princess, it's impossible that the royal family would let her marry into an Asian family. They would instead choose a prince from another European country without hopes of inheriting the throne to marry.

Ye Hao saw Helena and immediately greeted her with a warm smile, saying softly: "Dear, have you had breakfast yet?"

Helena nodded slightly, responding in fluent Chinese: "I've already eaten."

After that, he bowed slightly to Ye Zhongjun, saying: "Good morning, Uncle Zhongjun."

Then, he asked Ye Hao's father, grandfather-in-law Ye Changkang, his uncles Ye Changyun and Ye Changjun, as well as his aunts Ye Changmin and Ye Changxiu, one by one.

Ye Zhongjun smiled warmly and said: "Helena, you don't need to be so formal at home. You can just call me Grandpa like my son Yang is doing. No need to address me as Mr. Ye!"

Helena asked slightly awkwardly: "I've heard that in Chinese customs, one should only formally change their surname after getting married..."

"That's right!" Ye Changkang laughed, saying: "Helena, according to custom, you are indeed supposed to wait until you're officially married before changing your name. However, we don't stress too much about this in private. As family members, whether it's early or late, we're all just one big family."

Ye Changmin chuckled and said: "Hey, big brother! You haven't even given Helena the new surname yet, and you're already trying to get her to call you Dad?"

Ye Changkang immediately replied: "Even if I do now, I'll definitely give her the change-of-name fee when the time comes!"

He then looked at Helena and said seriously: "Helena, my wife and I have already discussed this. When the time comes, we'll each give you 18 million 800 thousand dollars as a change-of-name gift!"

Helena was taken aback and quickly said: "That's really too much... In China, it's said that one doesn't receive benefits without contributing something..."

Ye Zhongjun laughed: "What are you talking about? Changing your name on the day of the wedding is all part of our Chinese tradition. Not only will your future mother-in-law and father-in-law give you a change-of-name fee, but my son Yang's father-in-law and other uncles and aunts will also give you one."

Helena hesitated slightly, then said seriously: "Although I didn't mean to offend anyone, I feel that this custom is not really suitable for me..." JrNovels.com
