Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 208 - 198 Heavenly Dao Identity Exposed!

Jiang Xuan hung up the phone and returned, finding the young girl leaning over the table.

She seemed to have drunk too much, her cheek resting on her arm, her eyelashes quietly hanging down like the wings of a black butterfly docked at the shore, occasionally fluttering lightly.

Her complexion was naturally pale, her skin delicate and translucent, slightly flushed, making it quite noticeable. And those long, dense lashes were a deep black, the blend of black, white, and red on her face creating a bright, striking contrast, as if she was wearing makeup, dazzling and radiant.

Jiang Xuan stood there quietly and watched her for a moment before he stepped forward to approach her.

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Xia..."

The servant speaking at that moment, everyone called her Mother Li.

Mother Li was in charge, and had been working there since Jiang Xuan, the fourth young master of the Jiang Family, was a child.

When Jiang Xuan used to drink, get tattoos, and race cars rebelliously, it had always worried her.

Fortunately, after Jiang Xuan changed, grew up, and became sensible, she couldn’t be more relieved.

As soon as she started speaking, Jiang Xuan raised his finger to his lips, signaling her to lower her voice even more.

Mother Li nodded and then spoke with a voice that seemed strained, as if pulling on strings, her expression somewhat exaggerated and comical, "Sir! Did Miss Xia drink too much?"

She motioned to the side with her mouth, and Jiang Xuan followed her gaze to the newly opened bottle of red wine that Xia Ye had finished off while he was on the phone.

He chuckled softly, his eyes and brows revealing a gentle and charming curve.

Seeing this made Mother Li’s heart flutter; aside from the two occasions Miss Xia had come, she had never seen her master laugh like this.

Her master looked so handsome when he smiled!

Usually, he was like a walking iceberg, only melting when Miss Xia visited as if spring had come, with something slowly reviving.

Jiang Xuan hummed softly in a low voice, "It’s still early, she should wake up after a little nap."

He bent down, slid one hand under the girl’s knees, the other supporting her slender back. Without much effort, as if lifting a bunch of cotton, he lifted her horizontally in his arms.

Mother Li stood with her hands clasped in front of her, her gaze following Jiang Xuan’s movements from low to high, still speaking in a breathy tone, "Mr. Jiang, I’ll go tidy up the guest room for Miss Xia..."

Jiang Xuan had already carried the girl away, not in the direction of the guest room, "No need, I’m taking her to my room."

Mother Li paused, then hurried after him, swiftly helping to open the door as her master carried someone to his room.

Jiang Xuan entered the room, paused his step slightly, and tilted his head back slightly, "I’ll take care of her, you don’t need to follow."

Mother Li stopped, watching her master, who had a strong inclination for cleanliness and never let anyone into his room—let alone touch his bed—gently place Miss Xia on the luxurious big bed.

Mother Li’s eyes brightened, very sensibly closing the door gently for her master, and locking herself out.

There was a "click" as the door closed.

Xia Ye’s eyelashes flickered slightly.

Jiang Xuan carefully positioned her, and just as he was about to withdraw his hands to grab the blanket, Xia Ye suddenly opened her eyes as if revived.

She quickly sat up, and with extreme agility, grabbed Jiang Xuan’s arm, pushed him down onto the bed, and flipped over—

sitting upon him.

In just a second, the positions of the two were reversed.

And at some point, she had drawn a steak knife hidden on her person, lightly pressing it against Jiang Xuan’s throat. She applied no pressure, but a slight movement of his Adam’s apple would touch the cold blade.

Mother Li, who hadn’t walked far from the door, heard a loud creaking from the wooden floor inside.

Hmm?

This assertive!

As servants carrying laundry passed by, busy tidying up the room, Mother Li quickly shooed them away, "Go on, go on, the master is busy with important matters, no one is allowed to disturb him."

The servants, all young girls, glanced quickly towards the door, and after getting the implication, blushed deeply.

In the room, the change had come so swiftly that even Jiang Xuan hadn’t anticipated this young girl was pretending to be drunk. He froze for a moment, and only when he felt Xia Ye wobbling unsteadily, afraid she would fall, did he hurry to wrap his hands around her from behind to support her.

Xia Ye’s slender hand, through her shirt, pressed against his chest for balance, while her other hand pressed against a steak knife, her smile bright and sly, "You old thing, what are you thinking coming here with me?"

She had indeed drunk quite a bit and was somewhat unstable, but her voice sounded very clear, no different from usual.

Jiang Xuan lay on his back, the blade against his throat posed no threat to him, but it was her words that made him momentarily pause.

The term "old thing"...

Had she recognized him?

When he wanted her to recognize him before, she was confused, now that he didn’t want her to know, she had recognized him.

Given the situation, Jiang Xuan didn’t deny it, and simply said indifferently, "When did you recognize me?"

Xia Ye chuckled lightly, "I sensed something was off that day at the Swordsmanship Hall, just now, I finally confirmed it."

Jiang Xuan raised an eyebrow at her.

No wonder he hadn’t been able to read much from this girl’s mind recently, it seemed she had deliberately erased it.

And lately, when she absorbed his Spiritual Energy, she had become increasingly unrestrained.

It seemed that her desire to thoroughly question him after her exams was about this.

Thinking of something, Jiang Xuan suddenly asked again, "You said you confirmed it just now?"

Xia Ye snorted softly.

The enthusiastic policewoman knew about this when she had just returned.

She might look thin and frail, as if she would fall over with a breeze, but she actually weighed quite a bit.

A strong man could indeed carry her, but it would certainly feel strange.

Yet when Jiang Xuan picked her up, it was as if she were as light as a feather, and he didn’t hesitate or find it strange at all.

This feat, no one else could achieve, except... the Heavenly Dao born with Divine Power...

Ancient gods, immensely powerful, awe-inspiring.

Her slight weight was virtually imperceptible to him.

Jiang Xuan pursed his lips and smiled, grabbed the steak knife that was just for show from her hand, applied a little force, and the knife slipped from Xia Ye’s hand, casually tossed aside by Jiang Xuan.

Xia Ye frowned, "Hey you..."

Jiang Xuan steadied her to keep her from moving about, "You’ve drunk too much, it’s dangerous."

Xia Ye leaned on him, swaying as she looked at his handsome face.

Her suspicion was confirmed, and now the alcohol was kicking in a bit more.

Just when Jiang Xuan had thrown the knife, she had smelled that tantalizing aroma again.

It was coming from him.

No wonder she had always felt that the Spiritual Energy from him was particularly pure and rich.

He was the Heavenly Dao, the source of Spiritual Energy, how could it not be pure?

Xia Ye licked her slightly dry lips, her intoxicated gaze inadvertently landing on the man’s beautifully lined thin lips.

That spot, was indeed the most convenient place to absorb Spiritual Energy...
