Chapter 130: 130 Warning: It’s really delicious!

Shen Jing quickly explained, they had met through an investment software.

What software, what was the group’s name, he didn’t wait for the CEO to ask, he just spilled it!

Dong Mao followed up with more details.

It was only after this that they realized the person was Xia Ye.

The two of them, back and forth, rambled on with their explanations for a while.

Jiang Xuan’s index and middle fingers were pressed together, his hand slanted against his face, his expression inscrutable as he stared at the two before him.

When they quieted down, Jiang Xuan spoke, "Is that everything?"

Shen Jing quickly raised his hand, "I have one more thing!"

Jiang Xuan’s lips moved, "Speak."

Shen Jing made a mournful face, "President! My crime does not warrant death!"

Jiang Xuan: ...

In the end, each of them was tasked to write a self-criticism of five thousand characters to bring back.

Requirement: No padding the word count.

Although they had their reasons, they had once harbored thoughts about Xia Ye’s online alias and had secretly agreed to meet her for a meal.

Jiang Xuan couldn’t tolerate it.

After dinner, Jiang Xuan drove Xia Ye home.

Dong Mao and Shen Jing stood like two doormen, seeing the car off at the door.

The surrounding waitstaff looked at them with odd gazes, mainly because their outfits had too much of a ’couple’ vibe!

In the car, Xia Ye wanted to turn the air conditioning up a bit, and as she was adjusting it, Jiang Xuan also reached over, and their hands accidentally touched.

The girl was very slim, her fingers slender, but her hands were soft and beautiful to the touch.

Their hands paused for a second before Jiang Xuan withdrew his first.

Xia Ye nonchalantly glanced at him and turned the air conditioning temperature down by one degree.

She was quite warm.

Jiang Xuan held the steering wheel, his voice steady, "Don’t meet with online friends casually in the future."

Xia Ye looked at him again.

The girl’s eyes were pure, the light in her peach-blossom eyes casually enchanting.

Jiang Xuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, worried Xia Ye might sense his private feelings, he specifically added a phrase, "It’s unsafe, there are many such incidents in recent news. This time it was someone you know, next time it might not be. The criminal who kidnapped you years ago has still not been caught, and your parents would be worried too."

Xia Ye, facing her own Spiritual Energy little treasure, was quite obedient, looking at his profile, she murmured, "Understood."

The serious way Jiang Xuan lectured, suddenly made Xia Ye feel somehow familiar...

The man’s sleeves were rolled up, revealing the strong forearms resting on the steering wheel and the faint marks of a washed-off tattoo.

’PAPA’

It’s French for father.

It added a touch of wild mystique to the man’s otherwise abstinence-laden aura.

He looked like someone not to be trifled with.

Xia Ye thought...

Maybe she should try stirring things up...

**

The next day, at the border.

Xia Xian received a call and drove to the research institute.

The researcher excitedly handed over a document, as if finally able to give an account to his superior.

"Boss, the ingredient in the ointment you had me research, I found a match in the latest DNA samples uploaded by the International Botanical Organization!"

Xia Xian raised his eyebrows, his eyes lit up, "Really? What herb is it made from?"

I thought so, the herb Little Tiangao used, how could it possibly be a new species unknown to mankind?

It’s just relatively rare!

But then, he saw the researcher’s eyes glaze over for a moment, "Well, only the DNA sample was uploaded over there... no name of the herb was uploaded..."

Jiang Xuan stroked his chin, it seemed it was indeed a rare treasure, "Can you find out where it was uploaded from?"

All data uploaded to the International Botanical Organization DNA sample database could be traced back to the owner of the DNA sample as well as any related remarks.

The researcher nodded vigorously and picked up another document from the desk, "This is the owner’s information and the notes in the backend. His note... it’s a bit casual, but no matter, we can first contact that side and understand more deeply."

Jiang Xuan did not know how "a bit casual" the researcher’s mentioned notes could be.

However, when he looked at the document, he immediately understood.

The remark was a single sentence about the source of this herb.

’Picked it up by the roadside by my daughter.’

Jiang Xuan: ...

It seemed like contacting the owner to inquire was the only option now.

The man’s distinct fingers pointed to the list and continued to search downwards.

Owner’s name: Xia Yuzheng.

Xia Xuan: ???

Checking the contact information below, it was definitely his dad, no doubt about the names being identical.

It was picked up by Xia Yuzheng’s daughter by the roadside.

Isn’t that Little Tiangao??

So, is this herb truly the only one of its kind in the whole world?

And still in Little Tiangao’s hands?

"Boss, do you want me to contact them right now?" the researcher picked up the mobile phone, eager to query Mr. Xia this very second about where exactly his daughter found this miraculous herb by the roadside.

"No need to contact him yet," Jiang Xuan forcibly pushed his jaw back up with his hand.

He suddenly had an intuition that this herb was definitely not as simple as Little Tiangao picking it up by the roadside.

Ever since he was a child, he felt that Little Tiangao was small but crafty, sporting two cute buns bouncing around, yet her mind was clear as day, sometimes even more understanding than adults.

Recalling the miraculous effects of that ointment...

Their Little Tiangao, could she be... a hidden boss??

Jiang Xuan was inexplicably excited and dialed his second older brother.

Without preamble he blurted out, "Second brother, don’t you think our Little Tiangao... is a bit magical?!"

Who knew that with such a spontaneous assertion, Xia Xing didn’t scold him as a lunatic. Instead, as if empathizing with him, he also seemed suddenly enlightened and echoed, "Magical, really too magical!"

Xia Xing was in the backstage makeup room of a program crew.

A minute ago, he was checking the balance of his bank account.

Initially, he was a bit nervous, like opening a mystery box, not knowing how much money it had turned into today.

He told himself to stay calm even if he lost everything, as it was only Little Tiangao’s loss, which made the money’s disappearance not so grievous!

But just a second before answering Jiang Xuan’s call, he saw the balance on his card—

Not only had it not decreased, it had actually increased!!

That’s why he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Magical, really too magical!"

The brothers shared their magical experiences and then posted them in their private group chat for their eldest brother to see.

Unfortunately, Xia Tiao had not yet experienced the prowess of the little koi, and being a typical materialist, serious and rigid,

he emerged from a meeting to find their messages and said that they must be coincidences, warning them not to let these coincidences disrupt Little Tiangao’s studies.

In response, Jiang Xuan and Xia Xing each replied with one line.

Xia Xing from FB Team: Fragrance warning.

Jiang Xuan: Waiting to be slapped in the face~

Xia Xian: ...

Xia Xing chuckled, pocketing his phone, as Pang Shen, biting on a cigarette, pushed the door open.

As the owner of the club and also acting as Xia Xing’s manager.

He had nothing special, just stopped by to greet Xia Xing, "I just passed by and saw your new makeup artist today, she looks somewhat familiar..."
