Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 207 - 197 Satisfying Cravings!

Without the obstructive suit jacket that affected his touch, embracing her like this indeed felt much more comfortable.

Xia Ye’s chin rested on his broad shoulders, and her body was wrapped in his arms, feeling the spiritual energy flowing continuously.

She wasn’t holding back at all, and Jiang Xuan could even feel the spiritual energy being drained vividly.

Her eyes faintly shone with a different colored light.

The spiritual energy had recovered somewhat, but she still relished the moment and didn’t want to let go.

The two of them stayed quietly in the car for a while until Jiang Xuan could no longer bear it and gently patted her back.

Fortunately, he wasn’t really a mortal; otherwise, he would have perished in the car by now.

"Let’s eat first, the meal is ready," Jiang Xuan said in a husky voice, tense and tight.

Xia Ye, looking at the enormous spiritual spring shining with holy light, was reluctant to part from him.

She had even specifically called her family to say she wanted to have dinner at Uncle Jiang’s house.

The call was answered by Xu He.

She had expected Xu He to be worried, but surprisingly, Xu He did not nag at all and agreed immediately, only asking her to come home early after dinner.

Xia Ye raised an eyebrow: "Okay, don’t worry."

The Xia family had also heard about the super difficult math test, and the family members were concerned Little Tiangao would be very down after the exam.

It was just right that she wanted to have dinner at Jiang Xuan’s house, and Xu He was quite relieved.

It was good to have General Manager Jiang accompany her.

Speaking of which, General Manager Jiang was a few years older than their Little Tiangao, and indeed knew how to care for others.

Knowing the math test was tough, he especially took their Little Tiangao to his own home for dinner to help her adjust her mood.

It was Xia Ye’s second visit to Jiang Xuan’s house. Upon entering, the servant didn’t seem as surprised as last time and greeted her familiarly: "Miss Xia, you’re here."

The spacious living room was just as neat as before, with a light gray base tone, the large floor was immaculately joined and very bright.

The only shortcoming was that the simple tech decor was slightly business-like, resembling a presidential suite in a five-star hotel. If not for following Jiang Xuan inside, one would easily think no one lived here.

The clean and white dining area was located next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and with the long summer days, the lighting was still quite good.

The dishes hadn’t been served yet, but just seeing the clean and tidy tablecloth, the delicate candle decorations, and the meticulously arranged bone china small boxes containing various spices already made one feel happy...

Moreover, most importantly, Xia Ye actually saw a bottle of wine being decanted next to the candlestand, the decanter finely crafted, reflecting the light from outside and shimmering brilliantly.

Xia Ye was most interested in the ruby-red liquid inside.

She could smell the rich wine aroma from a distance.

Just by the scent, she knew that this was better than any bottle her completely irresponsible father had in the wine bar at the Xia family villa.

She glanced at the bottle of wine, then turned and looked at Jiang Xuan: "This is..." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Jiang Xuan’s eyebrows were soft and his eyes were moist: "Drinking a little bit is fine."

Xia Ye pursed her lips, trying not to appear too pleased, and cooperated as much as possible: "Since the wine is already open, then I... will just have a little bit..."

Five minutes later—

The two sat opposite each other at the dining table.

A butler politely poured red wine into their glasses while a plump chef with a white bow tie around his neck brought up a steak grilled strictly to their specifications, his smile warm and amiable.

Jiang Xuan slightly gestured with his hand, triggering the butler and chef to withdraw in turn. He seriously helped Xia Ye cut the steak, each piece the same size.

The man’s posture while holding the knife and fork was leisurely and elegant; he seemed a sight for sore eyes, like a picture.

Once the steak was cut, he slowly pushed it in front of Xia Ye, picked up his wine glass between his slender fingers, raised it slightly, and proposed a toast for the first time: "To your college entrance exam..."

He had not finished speaking when his gaze fell across the table.

The next second, his usually calm eyes unusually trembled.

Xia Ye was just tilting a wine glass to her lips, but the glass had long been empty!!!

Where had the wine gone?

The answer lay in that drop of ruby on her lips and the quick flush spreading over her cheeks.

Jiang Xuan: ...

The alcohol content in this wine was not low...

Noticing his gaze, the girl turned her beautiful eyes towards him.

Xia Ye smiled sweetly at him, "I was just... a bit thirsty."

Jiang Xuan was no stranger to her, he frowned slightly and signaled a servant to pour her some wine.

Steak with red wine could not be more perfect.

With every bite of steak and sip of wine, the little wine bugs in her stomach, which had been restless since her return to this body, finally calmed down today with the quality, richly flavored, intoxicating ruby wine flowing into her stomach.

The Jiang Family also had a wine business, but it was a newly emerged industry after Jiang Xuan took over the Jiang enterprise.

Although it had not been established for a long time, it was already quite well-known both domestically and internationally.

To excel in the wine industry, besides top-notch equipment and high-quality vineyards, another critical element is having a connoisseur of wine, a wine taster with exceptional taste.

Many peers had stealthily enquired who the wine taster of the Jiang enterprise was, business spies were not few, but in the end, they could not figure out who it was.

Jiang Xuan watched her relishing her meal and curved his lips slightly, "From today onwards, you are no longer a little high schooler."

Xia Ye, her mouth too full to respond properly, casually acknowledged.

In a short while, an entire bottle of well-decanted wine had entered the little ancestor’s stomach, yet she obviously hadn’t had enough.

Jiang Xuan beckoned a servant over, signaling to open another bottle.

But such fine wine was not readily available, the servant bowed slightly, looking troubled, "Mr. Jiang, we only have two bottles of this wine, and the other one is intended for the wine tasting event you planned to attend."

Fine wines, long-aged and priceless in the market; if both bottles were allowed to be consumed by Miss Xia, it certainly wouldn’t be possible to obtain more.

However, Jiang Xuan remained unconcerned, his voice as calm as ever, "Open it."

The servant promptly agreed.

The evening was growing late, candles were lit, and a delicate woody fragrance dispersed throughout.

Seeing her enjoying her meal, Jiang Xuan chuckled softly, "About the endorsement deal with Jiang Enterprises we discussed last time, have you considered it? Your image really fits well, and I would love for you to represent Jiang Enterprises."

Xia Ye knew the endorsement from Jiang Enterprises was not easily attained, but she still teasingly asked, "Why should I help you? We haven’t known each other for very long, have we?"

Jiang Xuan changed his sitting posture, crossing his legs and lightly interlocking his fingers on his knee: "Although we have only just met, the Jiang Family and the Xia Family have been close for a hundred years."

Xia Ye chuckled.

A hundred years, so what?

She observed him in his suit and with his short hair, looking every bit the business elite.

Quite the pretender.

Jiang Xuan’s phone rang just then, it was work-related, and he excused himself, rising to answer it on the balcony.

Xia Ye watched his retreating figure, a sly glint flickering in her eyes.

Today was a good opportunity; she could try one last time...
