Chapter 344: 254 The smell of other men~_2

When it was about time to leave, the kindly old doorman reminded them, and the Xia Family finally began to prepare their goodbyes with reluctance.

Xia Ye accompanied them towards the South Gate for a while, and Xia Yuzheng noticed a man in a wheelchair in the distance, with a tall female university student standing beside him—it was obviously a parent visiting a student.

Xia Yuzheng: "Xiaohe, isn’t that Mr. Shen?"

Xu He had all her thoughts on her daughter, and she gently replied, "What Mr. Shen?"

Xia Yuzheng: "It’s that Mr. Shen from Hai City, who moved to Capital City not long ago, remember?"

Upon hearing ’Hai City,’ Xu He followed his gaze. She indeed remembered hearing from Old Lady Jiang about him: "Ah, it’s that Mr. Shen who has done a lot of charity work."

Shen Zhiqiao and Shen Zhixi also noticed them and stopped their conversation.

Xia Yuzheng smiled and stepped forward with his family to make introductions.

Shen Zhixi’s smile was warm and gentlemanly, giving off a very cultured vibe: "Renowned for your grace and virtue, I have long heard of you."

By comparison, Shen Zhiqiao was a bit more arrogant: "I remember the last time junior sister came to the department, the entire family was there."

Xia Yuzheng and Xu He exchanged a glance, then it dawned on them that this girl was the department beauty who had acted as their guide when Little Tiangao enrolled in school.

Shen Zhixi’s gaze lingered heavily on Xia Ye, though he spoke to Xia Yuzheng, "Are you leaving, Mr. Xia? It happens that I am also preparing to leave."

He pressed the button on the armrest of his wheelchair, but the screen displayed a low battery warning.

Shen Zhiqiao: "Brother, let me push you..."

She hadn’t finished her sentence when Shen Zhixi raised his hand to indicate for her to stop. Instead, he turned again to Xia Ye: "Miss Xia, could I trouble you to push my wheelchair for me?"

Xia Xing glanced at Shen Zhixi, his expression somewhat displeased.

What’s going on?

Asking Little Tiangao to push his wheelchair?

Xia Ye was silent for two seconds, then pushed the wheelchair for him.

Not for any other reason, but because upon seeing Shen Zhixi’s wheelchair, Xia Ye felt an indescribable sensation, but couldn’t recall why she felt that way.

The Xia Family simply thought it was a bit abrupt for Mr. Shen to specifically ask Little Tiangao to push his wheelchair, but Shen Zhiqiao was clearly more astonished!

Because she knew her brother never allowed strangers to touch his wheelchair; usually, besides the secretary and the butler, he only let her push it.

This was a sign of her brother’s trust in someone.

And just now, her brother had rejected her offer and instead asked Xia Ye to push his wheelchair, making Shen Zhiqiao inexplicably irritated.

After sending off her family, Xia Ye made plans with Lu Beibei and the others to meet up for lunch at the cafeteria at noon.

But halfway there, Xia Ye saw another man.

Seeing Jiang Xuan on campus had not been a rare occurrence lately, but today was, after all, the weekend.

"Professor Jiang?" Xia Ye curved her lips, her smile dazzling amidst the increasingly autumnal woods: "As far as I know, there are no economics open classes on weekends."

Jiang Xuan’s handsome eyes curved, his impeccable shoes crunching over fallen leaves as he walked towards her, against the light.

He certainly knew there were no classes of his on weekends; he was busy with work, so he only scheduled one class each week.

But now that he was teaching at Beijing University, he could come and go freely without passing through the gatekeepers.

And without any time restrictions.

Since there was nothing pressing at the company this weekend, he came...

"...to see you."

That’s what he said to Xia Ye.

Jiang Xuan’s speech had become increasingly straightforward because he had realized that without being direct, this young lady wouldn’t understand.

He had already wasted five thousand years, and now he needed to speed things up.

Xia Ye’s tone was teasing: "Professor Jiang is busy with company matters as well as school affairs during the week, and still has time to see me on the weekend... Don’t you have to grade student assignments?"

Jiang Xuan’s hands were in his trouser pockets, his tone as calm as ever: "That’s Shen Jing’s job; I don’t need to worry about it. I’m responsible just for, caring about your matters..."

Since there weren’t many people passing by the small path at this time, Jiang Xuan was not very hesitant, his husky voice was enticing, and he slowly leaned in closer toward her...

He intended to tease her, but as he neared her, he suddenly caught a strange scent on Xia Ye.

The smile drooped at the corners of his mouth, and a chill appeared in his otherwise gentle eyes.

Seeing his sudden seriousness, Xia Ye raised her eyebrows in confusion: "What’s wrong?"

Jiang Xuan: "Your body has the scent of another man."

Xia Ye remembered it might be from when she had just pushed Shen Zhixi’s wheelchair.

"More sensitive than a dog’s nose," she muttered.
