?36: 036 Asking for Humiliation (two in one, extra updates today, asking for votes~) 36: 036 Asking for Humiliation (two in one, extra updates today, asking for votes~) Xia Yourong controlled her urge to dash into the car and asked with feigned composure, “Oh?

Isn’t this too much trouble for you, Uncle Jiang?”

Jiang Xuan didn’t look at her.

“It’s not troublesome.”

Xia Yourong’s cheeks flushed slightly, suddenly feeling a bad premonition.

The one she liked was Jiang Yunzhou…

But why was Uncle Jiang also so enthusiastic towards her?

Xia Ye and Wang Dahai heard the conversation and then noticed the car parked by the roadside.

Xia Ye was as calm as ever, wanting to thank him.

“Ah, about the incident with third brother last time…”

But before she could finish, Wang Dahai abruptly stood straight, blocking her, as if afraid the inarticulate second miss would offend Mr.

Jiang.

“Mr.

Jiang, are you here on business?”

Jiang Xuan’s view was blocked, and his expression was slightly displeased.

“Just passing by.

I still have time, I can give her a ride.”

This time, he only mentioned ‘her’, Xia Yourong felt herself singled out, her heart beating a bit faster.

No longer playing coy, she trotted over, rightfully opening the passenger side door, and sat down.

“Uncle Jiang, then I’ll trouble you.

But my sister is also going to school; could you drop her off too?”

Jiang Xuan frowned, didn’t speak, and just got out of the car with long strides to help Xia Ye open the rear car door.

Xia Ye bent down to get into the car, his heavy gaze falling on her slender shoulders, his thin lips lifting slightly.

He patted the back of her head, murmuring, “Walk faster next time.”

Walk faster, so irrelevant people won’t get in the car.

Mr.

Jiang’s car started, and Wang Dahai respectfully stood by the roadside, watching them drive away.

Suddenly, a realization dawned on him.

Jiang Enterprises and the Jiang Family were in the East Second Ring, so how did Mr.

Jiang just happen to pass by their West Third Ring villa?

Wang Dahai’s eyelids twitched, his gaze shuttling between the driver and passenger seats for a few seconds, then he suddenly understood something.

**

In the car, Xia Yourong glanced at the high-tech interior, which was many times more advanced than the Xia Family’s car, opened a sandwich wrapper, and began eating it bit by bit, each bite chewed dozens of times before swallowing.

She felt like a little cat.

If it had been Xia Ye, she probably would have gulped it down in one bite.

Barbaric.

Without clinging to her face, could she even ride in Mr.

Jiang’s car?

Jiang Xuan looked at the girl sitting in the back through the rearview mirror and asked softly, “Have you eaten?”

Xia Yourong, with her head down, enjoying her meal, “Uncle Jiang, I’m eating right now.”

Xia Ye casually glanced down, saw that Xia Yourong had responded, and then went back to looking at her phone.

Jiang Xuan: …

Xia Yourong looked at the scenery outside the window.

“Uncle Jiang, do you know where our school is?

Do you need me to direct you?”

Jiang Xuan responded coldly, “I know, no need.”

Xia Yourong no longer spoke, a shy look flickering in her eyes.

The car fell silent again.

Xia Ye nestled in the back seat, leaned back to find a comfortable position, one hand holding a letter, the other holding a phone, not even carrying a bag.

She wore a mint green short-sleeved tee, quite loose, her skin extremely pale, her slightly raised brows still showing impatience, unconcerned about her surroundings.

She could be stunningly beautiful, making all of creation stir, or she could hide all her sharpness, casual like an exceptionally delicate young boy.

All depending on her mood.

She opened WeChat and received a new friend request.

It was the former psychology department head, Pu Meilan.

It was Xu He who had given her WeChat ID to Pu Meilan.

Though the results of the last psychological counseling session…

But at least it was clear that Xia Ye did not reject Pu Meilan.

If she ever felt bad in the future, she could talk to the psychologist via WeChat to get timely relief.

That’s what Xu He thought, but Xia Ye accepted it with a sense of responsibility towards the patient, lifting her hand to approve it.

And sent a message.

[How have you been lately?]

Normally, this is what a psychologist would say to a patient.

Then, above the dialogue box, it displayed “The other party is typing…”.

The words appeared intermittently several times before a reply finally came through.

[Hello Xia Ye, I am Director Pu of the Psychology Department.

If you ever have any psychological distress, feel free to contact us at any time.

[Smile]]

A forced official smile, pretending to forget what happened during the last consultation.

Xia Ye curved her lips.

Pu Meilan had just finished a meeting and returned to the consultation room when she received a message from Xia Ye.

It couldn’t be more awkward.

Before their last meeting, she had preconceived notions of what the Xia Family’s daughter might be like.

She might show extreme nervousness, unease, photophobia, or even mild aggressive behavior.

After all, she had been kidnapped for over a decade.

But Pu Meilan could never have anticipated the Xia Ye she ended up seeing…

That day, she had intended to open Xia Ye’s heart, but somehow, their roles got completely reversed during their conversation.

She not only failed to get any information out of Xia Ye, but she ended up revealing everything about herself.

She cried until her makeup ran, and sobbed until her voice was hoarse.

However, she really hadn’t felt as relaxed as she did that day in a long time; her work had been particularly invigorating these past few days.

Strange.

It was too strange.

She was the Director of the Psychology Department who had been published in the most authoritative international medical journals, accomplished in areas like adolescent psychology and social psychology!

And to be counseled by a patient?

If word got out, how would she continue in her field?

Latter, she carefully recalled the events of that day and found many details elusive, with only the memory of Xia Ye’s beautiful, unique eyes lingering.

The amber-colored pupil seemed to still faintly flicker with glimmers…

Jiang Xuan occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror.

He noticed Xia Ye had a cell phone now.

She hadn’t had one when they went to the Jiang Family’s house for dinner.

His driving was top-notch, fast and smooth, skillfully avoiding all the rush-hour traffic.

Soon, the car stopped outside the spacious gate of Beijing No.1 Middle School.

Xia Ye thanked him and got out of the car first.

She had things to do today and didn’t want to waste any time.

Yourong dallied a bit more, sneaking a glance at Jiang Xuan, “Uncle Jiang…

then I’ll also…

”

Before she could finish, Jiang Xuan interrupted, “You wait a moment.”

“Huh?”

Yourong looked awkward, alone with a man in the car…

She looked up and caught Jiang Xuan’s fleeting gaze.

Her whole body tensed, and she suddenly didn’t know where to place her hands or feet.

Xia Ye heard this too and looked back, her emotions unclear as she glanced into the car.

Although Yourong thought Jiang Xuan’s approach was a bit too hasty, the glace Xia Ye threw into the car made her feel overwhelmingly superior.

The car door closed again, and within the confined space, Yourong pinched her backpack, “Uncle Jiang, did you want to talk to me about something?”

Jiang Xuan’s gaze moved toward the direction Xia Ye had left.

His slender fingers slowly tapped the steering wheel, “Could you tell me…”

Yourong’s heart jumped to her throat.

What did he want to know?

Whether she was single?

Or if she was of age?

Should she tell him?

Yourong was agonizingly conflicted when she saw the man’s thin lips part and he uttered the second half of his sentence.

“Your sister’s cell phone number?”
