Meanwhile, in a private dining room of the Godear western restaurant.

Surrounded by lavish decorations, elegant ladies with refined manners are seated around a sumptuous round table.

They simultaneously looked towards the elderly woman in the seat of honor, their smiles slightly obsequious, “Madam, when is your granddaughter arriving?”

No sooner had the question been asked than there was a knock on the door, and Qiao Yufen smiled proudly, “See, here she is now.”

The supervisor, neatly dressed in a bow tie and immaculate velvet white gloves, opened the door for the guests.

At the doorway appeared the silhouette of a young woman with a high ponytail and a full figure, “Grandma, I’m sorry I’m late.”

Yourong had only received the message from her grandmother after returning home, telling her to come and meet people—stating they were from the most privileged ladies of the Capital City.

In the message, Qiao Yufen particularly emphasized that she should come alone.

Yourong instantly understood her grandmother’s intention, surely she was worried about Yourong bringing Xia Ye along, which would embarrass the Xia Family.

“Oh, I haven’t seen Xiaorong for a few years now.

She has really grown up into a beautiful young lady.

That figure clearly shows how meticulously the Xia Family has raised her.”

“Isn’t that the truth?

It’s just too bad my son is too young, otherwise, I’d definitely have him marry Xiaorong.”

“Fat chance, our families already have sons waiting in line.

You won’t have your turn.”

Hearing this, Qiao Yufen’s face lit up, and she beckoned lovingly, “Xiaorong, come sit by Grandma.”

Yourong had just settled into her seat when one of the ladies suddenly asked, “By the way, Xiaorong, where is your sister?

Why didn’t she come with you?”

Someone immediately chimed in, “Yes, I was hoping to see the child.”

Yourong pinched her hand; before leaving the house, she told Xu He that she was dining out with a friend.

Xu He had asked her if her sister hadn’t come home yet, and was she going to dine out with them?

Yourong just responded noncommittally.

But to her surprise, here too, conversation with others was hardly possible without bringing up Xia Ye.

Why did Xia Ye have to come back?

She was a stain that could never be washed away!

She pursed her lips in a smile, looking at the ladies, “My sister just started school recently and is struggling to keep up, so she didn’t have time to come out.”

“No wonder,” the ladies expressed understanding, emotionally, “Such a good child, abducted by those conscience-less human traffickers into the mountains.

Abducted for 14 years, heaven have mercy…”

Seeing her grandmother’s distressed expression, Yourong quickly glanced around the room and changed the subject, “By the way, Grandma, why didn’t we book the room with piano music today?

Last time, dad booked that one, and it was beautiful.”

Qiao Yufen looked at her eldest granddaughter’s innocent face and felt somewhat better, “You think that room is so easy to book?

Even this room we’re in, your aunts had to book a week in advance to secure.

We don’t have your father’s connections.”

Her words sounded modest, but in reality, it was a boast of the highest order.

After all, everyone knew that room wasn’t easy to book.

Yuzheng had also merely inquired the other day, saying his daughter was back and he wanted to book the best room.

Unexpectedly, the server just took him directly there, as if someone had reserved it in advance for him.

The ladies, upon hearing Qiao Yufen say this, indeed fell for it.

“Ah?

Xia President managed to book that room?”

“Indeed worthy of Xia President; he really has the clout.”

“Oh, Madam Qiao, you are truly blessed.

The Xia family has great fortune and great business, and Xia President’s capabilities are plain for all of us to see; in the future, our families’ businesses will all be depending on Xia President to take care of them.”

Seeing that the ladies finally stopped bringing up Xia Ye, Yourong politely stood up, “Grandma, I’ll go to the restroom.”

Qiao Yufen smiled, “Alright, go ahead.”

**

As Yourong emerged from the restroom and was on her way back to her private room, she saw seven or eight waitstaff following two guests, escorting them to the next room over, the one famously difficult to reserve with piano music.

Someone able to book that room, and with such fanfare, Yourong couldn’t help but feel curious, taking a few steps towards them.

The distinguished guests in front were none other than Jiang Xuan and Xia Ye.

The man, his hand casually in his trouser pocket, stood tall, “You like eating here?”

Xia Ye nodded.

However, she just wanted to sit in the outer lobby and eat something casual, but to her surprise, the waiter led them directly to a private room.

And seeing the waiters’ tiptoeing expressions, could it be that Jiang Xuan was a VIP customer here?

Yourong followed behind, craning her neck left and right, but couldn’t get a clear look at the patrons, discerning only that they were a man and a woman.

The others were tightly shielded by the waitstaff.

Later, as the group turned into a private room, Yourong caught a fleeting glimpse of the woman’s profile.

Her eyelid twitched.

Why did it feel…

a bit like Xia Ye?

Yourong scoffed.

Lately, she had been so annoyed by that country girl that everyone started looking like her!

**

On Xia Ye’s side.

The two of them sat in an extravagantly large private room, which could best be described as ‘spacious.’

The beautiful piano accompaniment was almost echoing.

The silverware sparkled brightly, and the lighting flickered.

Soon after, the waiter brought over a roasted chicken served on a refined plate.

Just out of the oven, it was several times more fragrant than anything packed for takeaway.

Jiang Xuan had learned about this young girl’s preferences and ordered plenty of dishes, which were brought out one after another.

But Xia Ye’s eyes were fixed only on that plate of chicken, practically glowing green.

Jiang Xuan sat across from her, his lips curling into a faint smile, he signaled to the waiter who immediately nodded and donned gloves to help them carve the chicken.

As the chicken was carved on one side, they started eating on the other.

Xia Ye’s mouth was ceaselessly moving, delighting in the savory bites.

Jiang Xuan didn’t touch his knife and fork, merely watching her eat, and unknowingly, his eyes deepened into a dark pool.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice clear and refined, “Why are you so greedy, little mouth?”

Xia Ye just smiled at him, her mouth not pausing.

The action of the waiter carving the chicken stalled suddenly, unwittingly taking Jiang Xuan’s words into an inexplicable scenario.

He quickly shook his head.

Mr.

Jiang was talking about craving chicken!

But just as the waiter calmed himself, he heard Jiang Xuan say, “Is one enough?

If not, ask me for more…”

—’Ah!’

—’It’s all turned golden yellow!’

—’Jiang Xuan, are you sure you’re not driving?’

Jiang Xuan glanced at him faintly.

He was simply sitting here eating, what driving?

Absurd.

“Ah, it’s enough,” Xia Ye said, despite the delicious meal, she didn’t feel that comforting sensation of spiritual energy filling her.

Jiang Xuan’s lips showed a mysterious smile as he leaned over to personally pick up a chicken leg for her.

The waiter seemed to see the chicken leg gleaming briefly in the man’s fingertips, but thought it was just the effect of the chandelier’s light reflecting off the crispy, oily skin.

Jiang Xuan handed it to Xia Ye, “Try this…”
