Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 527 - 315_2

There was no need for her to spell things out clearly now, Jiang Xuan immediately took the initiative to understand: "You focus on your studies, I’ll help take care of things."

Xia Ye was quite relieved: "Thanks."

She would have been completely at ease if it were her brothers or her straightforward dad going abroad, but with her mom traveling, even though she had an assistant with her, Xia Ye felt...

If anyone dared to bully her mom, she would personally tear them apart.

Logically speaking, she had been back in this body for just over a year, which was nothing compared to her thousands of years of experiences, but for some reason, she really liked Xu He.

The old ancestor couldn’t remember where she came from, nor did she know who her parents were; she thought she had to pretend to have that kind of familial affection so as not to give herself away or make the Xia family suspicious.

However, she later found that there was no need to pretend; she and Xu He got along very naturally as mother and daughter, as if the familial bond had long been flowing in her blood.

Could it just be the memories belonging to this body?

Xia Ye couldn’t quite understand...

During the time Xia Ye and Jiang Xuan were watching a movie, Xu He packed her luggage for the morning departure, and Lu Beibei and her group had left the event organizers and returned to the university.

They didn’t know that Shen Zhixi had also come to Beijing University to bring Shen Zhiqiao some daily necessities.

Near the female dormitory at the South Gate, a stretched black sports car was parked.

The siblings were sitting in the back seat.

Shen Zhixi asked some questions about studies and the Academy of Sciences, and Shen Zhiqiao answered seriously, as if she were reporting performance at a meeting.

Ever since Shen Zhiqiao could remember, this was how she and her brother interacted. He pampered her in life, always giving her the best, never letting her suffer, but at the same time, he was very strict in certain aspects. Shen Zhiqiao was used to it, feeling that this was just the way her brother was, strict on himself and strict on others.

It was unclear how much time passed before Shen Zhiqiao, having correctly answered all her brother’s questions, relaxed slightly and dared to talk about other things.

There was something that had recently caught her interest: "Brother, you seem... quite impressed with Luo Yi San?"

Shen Zhixi gave her a detached look: "Brother likes talented people."

It seemed like he had answered, and yet he hadn’t.

Shen Zhiqiao nodded slightly and found herself at a loss for words for a moment.

The sound of a car stopping outside the window interrupted them, and Shen Zhixi looked over in response.

Originally just a casual glance, he spotted someone of great interest, and his gaze lingered for a long time.

Shen Zhiqiao glanced at the time: "Brother, I still need to go back to the dorm to organize the experimental data. You should head back and rest early too."

Shen Zhixi nodded slightly; as Shen Zhiqiao was getting out of the car, he spoke again: "Stay away from Luo Yi San, don’t take an interest in him."

He was not looking at Shen Zhiqiao as he spoke, but she could vaguely sense a warning in his words.

She didn’t ask further, but responded with a simple ’okay’ and then got out of the car.

Shen Zhixi lowered the car window by a third, watching the car that had just parked next to him.

Xia Ye got out of the car, the man’s hand reaching out the window to hand her the backpack.

Shen Zhixi squinted at the hand, clearly aware of whom it belonged to.

Xia Ye took the backpack, casually speaking a few words to the man inside the car.

Her cool features sparkled faintly.

The secretary cautiously inquired through the rearview mirror, "Mr. Shen, shall we go now?"

Shen Zhixi replied, "Wait a little longer."

The secretary didn’t dare ask why, as through the rearview mirror, Mr. Shen’s expression appeared somewhat formidable.

He quickly withdrew his gaze, quietly waiting for further instructions.

It could have been two or three minutes, until the engine of the car next to them started up again, the sound gradually fading away, before the man behind finally spoke again, "Help me out of the car."

Secretary: "Yes, Mr. Shen."

Apparently understanding his master’s intention, the secretary efficiently got out of the car and moved to the back door to carefully assist Shen Zhixi onto the wheelchair.

Having accomplished his task, he tactfully returned to the car, not daring to disturb.

Xia Ye, with her backpack slung over her shoulder, took a few steps toward the South Gate, then suddenly stopped.

She hadn’t heard any sound, but it was as if she felt something.

Stopping in her tracks, she turned back, Shen Zhixi sitting in his wheelchair, eyes on her, thin lips curled in an ambiguous smile.

Seeing her look his way, Shen Zhixi maneuvered his wheelchair forward, pretentiously asking, "What a coincidence, was that a family member who dropped you off just now?"

Xia Ye glanced in the direction of Jiang Xuan’s departing car: "Oh, no."

She paused briefly, then continued, "It was my boyfriend."
