Xia Ye habitually eats other parts of the chicken before moving on to her favorite drumsticks, saving them for last.
However, since President Jiang already handed it to her, she decided to eat it first.
But as she took the drumstick, she felt a faint Spiritual Energy seeping through the cracks of the crispy skin, weaving out slowly.
Xia Ye took a deep breath and couldn’t help saying, “It smells amazing.”
Jiang Xuan watched her greedy little appearance and said in a low voice, “Go ahead and eat.”
His voice was as enticing as a siren’s call.
Xia Ye’s pearly white teeth were pretty sharp, first tearing off the chicken skin before eating the meat.
After finishing the entire drumstick, she felt as if a person who had been pulling all-nighters had finally gotten a good night’s sleep.
So satisfying!
Xia Ye looked at Jiang Xuan contentedly.
What was up with this guy?
She couldn’t possibly have accidentally absorbed his…
vitality, could she?

Xia Xian went to deliver a thank-you gift to Jiang’s company and upon arriving at reception, saw a group of employees chattering among themselves.
With the border goods issue resolved perfectly, Xia Xian picked out a large, very clear pink diamond to give to Jiang Xuan as a thank-you gift.
He placed the box on the reception desk and while registering, he casually overheard their conversation.
It seemed they were discussing something about President Jiang.
“Did President Jiang really take that girl out for dinner?”
“Yeah, yeah, he even drove her himself without any escorts.”
“Wow, she’s so lucky!
She must be the first one to have a private dinner with President Jiang, right?”
“Hello, please leave your name so I can register you,” the receptionist asked amidst the chatter, turning to Xia Xian.
Xia Xian curved his lips slightly and said, “Xia Xian.”
After hearing their conversation, he felt reassured.
So President Jiang had a girlfriend.
The encounter with his little sister the other day must have been a coincidence.
But hardly a second after feeling relieved, he saw the receptionist recording his details pause, whisper to a colleague, “He’s also surnamed Xia!
Isn’t it that those with the surname Xia have high attractiveness?”
Xia Xian narrowed his eyes and tapped his knuckles on the counter: “You said…
also surnamed Xia?”
The receptionist quickly waved her hands: “Sorry, we were talking about the girl that came today.”
“She’s also surnamed Xia?” Xia Xian suddenly had a bad feeling, “Is she tall and slim…
and wearing a white school uniform?”
The receptionist found it strange, “How do you know?
Yes, and she’s also exceptionally beautiful, otherwise why would the president take her?”
“…”
Three black lines instantly fell from Xia Xian’s head.
For crying out loud!
Was President Jiang actually trying to charm his sister?
These past few days he had deliberately inquired about this President Jiang’s past.
He heard he’d played hard until he was 18 and was nothing like the refined gentleman he appeared to be now.
A man with such deep schemes was definitely not someone his naive and adorable sister could handle.
But his sister was still so young, seeing Jiang Xuan, who was handsome enough to overwhelm heaven and earth, with a charisma to die for, she definitely wouldn’t be able to resist.
His elder brother had become despondent for quite a while because his ex-girlfriend dumped him, though that was because his brother was blind and deserved it.
But he couldn’t let Little Tiangao experience that kind of suffering.
Xia Xian’s gaze fell on the diamond by the counter.
Was he really gifting this diamond to that bastard?
Thinking this, he reached for the diamond to take it back, but the receptionist was quicker, picking up the small box with the diamond and saying, “It’s all set, Mr.
Xia, we’ll pass it on to the president for you…”
In the middle of her sentence, she noticed Xia Xian’s outstretched hand, “What’s the matter, Mr.
Xia?”
Xia Xian’s eye twitched violently, “Nothing.”
Forget it, it’s just a little money.
He pulled his hand back from his pocket, touched the car keys, and with a cryptic expression, said, “I am that girl’s brother, here to deliver something to her.
Do you know…
where they went to have dinner?”
**
Inside Xia Yourong’s private room, the socialites and married ladies were toasting and bubbling with laughter, a scene that was accentuated by the luxurious decor of the room as if straight out of a scene from the “Tiny Times” series.
Even a glass of red wine was raised seven or eight times without being finished, which would have infuriated Xia Ye if he had seen it.
Xia Yourong was not of age yet, so she was drinking coconut juice.
The last lady to return from the restroom had forgotten to close the door, but the corridor was always very quiet, so it did not really affect anything.
But who knew that just when they were about to raise their glasses again, a sudden noise came from outside the door.
“Sir, the guests are dining inside, you cannot enter.”
“Get out of my way, I am also a VIP here, cut the crap!”
“Sir, Mr.
Jiang has some very important clients with him, and he has specifically instructed that no one should enter to disturb them…”
“What kind of client has a dinner with doors shut so tightly???”
Qiao Yufen and Xia Yourong both sensed that something was off at the same time.
That man’s voice…
why did it sound so much like Xia Xian?
Having that thought, Qiao Yufen put down her wine glass and stood up to come out.
Xia Yourong followed close behind.
“Xianxian?
It really is you.
Grandma can recognize your voice immediately.”
In front of the next room, Xia Xian furrowed his thick eyebrows in frustration.
Even though he was anxious, he had not yet dared to force his way in.
Otherwise, with the small stature of the waiter, he could have taken on ten of them.
Xia Yourong asked timidly, “Third Brother, the Mr.
Jiang they mentioned…
is he Yunzhou’s little uncle?”
Xia Xian grunted in affirmation, sounding muffled.
Xia Yourong understood, no wonder there was such grandeur earlier, it turned out to be Mr.
Jiang who had arrived.
Recalling the woman beside Mr.
Jiang, her expression couldn’t help but show a hint of envy.
Indeed, the special guest Mr.
Jiang brought with him would definitely need the best private room.
By this time, the ladies from inside the room had all come out to watch the excitement.
“Xianxian, back from the frontier, are you?”
“Just by looking at Xianxian’s face, one understands what it means by ‘ladies love a bad boy’.”
“Just in time, auntie is also looking to buy some diamonds.
You come and help me pick…”
Several people were chattering away when the door in front of Xia Xian was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and the sound of piano music also broke through.
Jiang Xuan was leaning against the door frame with a cold look, turning towards the waiter, “Why is it so noisy?”
The waiter shrank back, terrified: “I’m sorry, Mr.
Jiang!
I told him, but he…
”
The door was only half-open.
Xia Xian made a move as if he were about to go inside, but Jiang Xuan shifted to the side, casually blocking the entrance.
Qiao Yufen was aware of Mr.
Jiang’s status and, anxiously knitting her brows, said, “Xianxian, what are you doing?
Mr.
Jiang is dining with a client inside, come back to the room with your grandma quickly.”
“Grandma, you don’t understand, the person inside is not a client but…”
Xia Yourong, aware that the other special guest was a woman, whispered a reminder: “Third brother, even if it’s not a client, it’s someone Mr.
Jiang values highly, not someone we can afford to provoke.”
Qiao Yufen glared at him: “Exactly, Mr.
Jiang’s honored guests are definitely rich and noble, not someone you can just meet if you wish!
Come here, stop making a scene!”
“Who is it?” A cool and pleasant female voice suddenly came out from the private room.
Qiao Yufen quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look more: “I apologize, Mr.
Jiang, I will take my grandson and leave immediately…
”
Before she could finish speaking, the female voice spoke again, this time much closer to the door: “Is it you guys?”
Being so close, it was impossible not to recognize the voice now.
Qiao Yufen and Xia Yourong both stopped in their tracks, and the next second, they looked up abruptly—
