Chapter 136: 136 Aren’t you... interested in dual cultivation?

Jiang Xuan was definitely abusing his power for personal gain.

To openly hold Xia Ye’s hand like this.

He had been thinking about it for thousands of years.

Showing this to Jian Manman was just an excuse.

Today, when he saw her come to bring him stuff and care about his illness, his seemingly calm heart darkened with turmoil.

Jian Manman had declined many other similar brand invitations for this cooperation.

She had put all her eggs in one basket, how could she possibly lose to a high school student who hadn’t even made her debut and didn’t have a single fan?

But when her gaze shifted to their tightly clasped hands...

Jian Manman felt an unprecedented embarrassment and annoyance.

They were actually...

Then what else was impossible?

Xia Xing’s sister had actually climbed up to the President of Jiang Family. It wasn’t just that she got endorsements without even making a debut, acting was also a matter of minutes!

Why was she so lucky!

A high school girl, what does she know about what men like?!

Xia Ye had even made Jiang Xuan act with her before, and now if someone else asked Jiang Xuan, she definitely couldn’t refuse.

"You don’t really want me to endorse something, do you?" she stood by his side and looked into his eyes as she spoke.

Jiang Xuan lowered his eyes and whispered to her, "I do want to find someone, but I don’t know if you’d agree."

Xia Ye, "Endorse what?"

Jiang Xuan cherished her hand too much to let go, "It’s up to you, anything will do."

He noted her complexion was alright, the cold wasn’t too serious.

Xia Ye did not respond to his nonsense.

She was very expensive, after all.

She put down her backpack and took out the medicinal pill for colds she had made herself and gave it to him.

Jiang Xuan took it and pocketed it in his pants.

He knew Xia Ye’s capabilities, and he knew this medicine contained the girl’s care and effort.

The girl was tough on the outside but soft on the heart; he had often seen her distributing medicine to others before. Back then, Jiang Xuan hadn’t been sick even once in hundreds of years, only able to watch.

Jiang Xuan noticed something else in Xia Ye’s other hand and asked her, "What’s that?"

Xia Ye almost forgot and took off the thermos’ pink and tender cover with little floral patterns.

"Winter melon pork rib soup, it’s also good for colds. Drink it half an hour after the medicine. I’ve tasted it before, it’s quite delicious."

As Xia Ye introduced the nutritious soup, she actually seemed somewhat dutiful.

Jiang Xuan’s smile deepened, "You made it?"

"Ah?" Xia Ye touched her nose, "My mom made it."

Jiang Xuan: ...

Remembering the day he met her mom, he suddenly felt a bit pressured.

He began to suspect that Xia Ye brought this soup without her mother even knowing.

The wind was strong outside, Jiang Xuan tightened his grip, leading her inside, "Come back with me, wait till I finish drinking, and I can return the thermos to you."

Xia Ye, "That’s not necessary? Just bring it next time..."

Jiang Xuan glanced at Jian Manman, his reason very sufficient, "We need to make it convincing, you taught me that before."

After thinking it over, Xia Ye didn’t dawdle, generously responding, "Let’s go."

Their casual small talk, in Jian Manman’s ears, was maddening with envy.

The soup was actually made by Xia Xing’s mom for President Jiang.

This indicated that both families had already accepted their relationship!

She was President Jiang’s proper girlfriend, while she was still here...

Jian Manman knew that if she stayed any longer, she would only become the subject of ridicule, and though reluctant, she had to leave resentfully—

It wasn’t until they reached the door of his home that Jiang Xuan finally let go of Xia Ye’s hand.

Xia Ye shook her hands, having gripped them too tightly; they had sweated.

"Mr. Jiang, you’ve returned——"

At the doorway, a line of neatly standing servants halted their words upon noticing Xia Ye behind Jiang Xuan.

Mr. Jiang had actually brought a girl home!

And if they hadn’t seen wrong, they had just walked in hand in hand!

So Mr. Jiang really did like women!

Mainly because they had never seen Mr. Jiang bring any girl home or even heard him talk on the phone with a girl, so the servants had always been suspicious...

Well, all previous assumptions and imaginations were wrong.

Time to rethink everything!

The Jiang family’s house was even more luxurious and airy than the Xia family villa.

But Xia Ye... just preferred her little fox den!

It just so happened to be lunchtime, and Jiang Xuan had the servants prepare lunch.

The dishes Jiang Xuan had prepared today were quite different from usual.

Because they were all Xia Ye’s favorites.

At the dining table, Xia Ye watched Jiang Xuan, who usually ate very little, gulp down an entire bucket of soup without leaving a single drop.

Xia Ye was quite astonished, "Is it that good?"

Jiang Xuan nodded, "I hope to drink it often in the future."

(Xia Yuzheng: Give up already!)

Because he was close by, Jiang Yunzhou, having finished playing basketball, passed by his uncle’s building and wanted to chat with his uncle for a while.

However, the very perceptive servants, using the excuse that the ’master’ was not in, stopped him at the door.

Jiang Yunzhou tapped the basketball twice, scratching his head, "But I see my uncle’s car parked outside, don’t I?"

After finishing lunch, Xia Ye had some fruit in the living room and also watched a replay of her second brother’s interview on TV.

Jiang Xuan had always thought that living somewhere was just about convenience and never felt any sense of belonging.

But today, seeing her staying in his house, eating, watching TV, strolling about, suddenly felt very different.

After the meal, he sat next to Xia Ye on the sofa, behind them a vast expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows; outside the windows was a garden, the wind blowing in the scent of flowers.

Jiang Xuan draped his arm over the back of the sofa behind the little girl.

While Xia Ye watched TV for a while, she felt a burning gaze from the side. Turning her face, she met Jiang Xuan’s eyes directly.

She felt that Jiang Xuan had something he wanted to say to her.

Seeing her look his way, Jiang Xuan’s deep eyes visibly darkened.

After a long while, the man’s thin lips slightly parted in an attractive curve, "Your birthday in July?"

"Hmm?" Xia Ye really thought back for a moment, "Yes, I guess."

She would become an adult after her birthday, and by that time, she would have also graduated high school.

Jiang Xuan crossed his long legs in a new position, leaning back against the couch, "Your teachers don’t allow dating early, right?"

Xia Ye looked even more puzzled, "I suppose not..."

Previously, classmates who passed notes were called to the office for a talk by the teacher.

Jiang Xuan nodded, "That’s good, you should focus on your studies in school and not think about anything else."

That reassured him.

Xia Ye really didn’t know what he was circling around to say, so she asked him directly, "Uncle Jiang, what are you trying to say?"

Jiang Xuan’s fingers closed loosely, "I’ll tell you after your birthday."

On TV, Xia Xing was lonely undergoing an interview. Outside the TV, neither Xia Ye nor Jiang Xuan paid attention to him.

Xia Ye’s curiosity was piqued, and she turned her body towards Jiang Xuan, "What is it that can’t be said until after my birthday?"

"It’s nothing," Jiang Xuan coughed softly, eyes shifting away toward the TV.

Seemingly considering how to begin.

Just when Xia Ye thought he might not say it, Jiang Xuan suddenly spoke in a low tone, "Don’t you want to ’Dual Cultivate’?"
