Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 455 - 291 closest relationship person..._2

The two of them lingered and dawdled, a meal taking them two hours to finish.

By the time Xia Ye finished eating, the sky outside was pitch black, with all the garden lights in the restaurant lit up.

The location of their private room was excellent, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a perfect view of the night outside.

The glass etched with begonia reliefs refracted the bright lights outside into something romantic and gentle, complemented by the vintage chandeliers, wall lamps, and the candlelight on the dining table.

Xia Ye stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, where various lights played and interwove in the darkness, casting their glow upon her, the most beautiful scene of all.

"The lighting here is nice," Xia Ye turned around and handed her phone to Jiang Xuan, "Could you take a picture for me?"

Jiang Xuan, dazzled by her beauty, didn’t fully come to his senses and took her phone to snap a blurry, dreamy portrait of her.

The girl’s mismatched gaze was the color of jewels, more breathtaking than any filter could ever be.

"Oh, right."

As she pressed the shutter, Xia Ye seemed to remember something, a sly sparkle flashing in her eyes.

She said, "Mind the angle."

Jiang Xuan’s hand, holding the phone, paused.

...

A week later, the front desk at Jiang Corporation handed a plain-looking express package to Shen Jing, "Assistant Shen, the package is addressed to the president’s office, should you... double-check it?"

The reason the front desk made such a comment was that this package looked very different from those previously sent to the president’s office.

Items previously sent to the president’s office were either serious-looking documents and files or treasures packed in expensive gift boxes.

But the small pink paper box in front of them had its corners squashed from transit, with nothing especially remarkable on the outside; it didn’t look like anything valuable.

The price probably wouldn’t exceed 9.9 yuan with free shipping...

Most importantly, the recipient’s name printed on the outer shipping label was: Iron Rooster dm.

The front desk even suspected someone had the audacity to challenge the president.

So she thought of asking Assistant Shen to help check, but Shen Jing, seeing the recipient’s name, wasn’t the least bit angry, instead, he casually took the package, saying, "It’s finally here, the president has been waiting for days."

Front Desk: ???

Top floor, president’s office.

Jiang Xuan opened the express delivery, tossed the spiced snacks to Shen Jing, and kept only the private signed photo in the envelope for himself.

Just as he suspected, what he received was the picture that Xia Ye had asked him to take in front of the Godear booth’s floor-to-ceiling windows.

In the photo, the girl turned lightly, and all the lights from that evening exploded in her eyes like thousands of shattered diamonds.

’A private photo should, of course, be taken by someone with the closest relationship.’

That’s what Xia Ye had said at the time before asking him to take the shot.

Jiang Xuan’s somewhat rough fingertips gently brushed across the girl’s vivid smiling face.

Under his seemingly emotionless handsome face, he was already deeply stirred.

Xia Ye did indeed say that, only she hadn’t expected Jiang Xuan to be so cunning, saying ’of course not’ with his mouth, but actually participating in the rush to buy and winning the draw.

The man’s millennia-old admiration had, unbeknownst to anyone, begun to show a vague two-way arrow...

Xia Ye’s private photograph, beyond beautiful, was quickly shared online by other lucky winners.

The fans who didn’t win the draw were burning with jealousy, but even if they printed out the online photos, it couldn’t compare to the real signed photo, and they flooded the FB official website demanding to know when they could do another live-streamed sale.

As the signed photo circulated massively online, some sharp-eyed netizens noticed a man’s reflection in the glass window behind Xia Ye.

However, because of the pattern on the window, the shadow was unclear.

It was evident he had short hair and a tall stature.

But paired with Xia Ye’s enchanting smile towards the camera, the ambiguous ambiance went off the charts.

The online community erupted with speculation about who the figure might be.

[Could it be a boyfriend? Did the hubby meet a cute wolf-dog at Beijing University?]

[Everyone, stay calm, don’t panic! It could just be a waiter who helped take the photo.]

[But the hubby’s gaze clearly shows recognition, doesn’t it?]

[I’ve got it! That’s Xia Shen! Brothers taking photos for sisters is perfectly normal, and Xia Shen is tall too.]

[To speak or not to speak, Xia Shen’s hair seems a bit longer...]

Jiang Xuan, an ultra fan of Xia Ye, happened to see these discussions.

This was the perfect opportunity for him to ’accidentally’ expose their secret romance...
