Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 446 - 288 is not a fake ticket, it’s a VIP ticket..._2

As Luo Yisan looked towards the audience, he also happened to notice Xia Ye, his expression fleetingly intriguing.

However, the moment when their gazes collided was brief, lasting only a second before Luo Yisan looked away first.

A few blurry images flashed quickly through Xia Ye’s mind.

’Hiss—’ She narrowed one eye while the other eye fell on the nameplate in front of Luo Yisan. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

A returnee professor, huh...

The slightly unkempt mid-length hair, the icy gaze, and the pale-colored lab coat—all somewhat normal elements—combined to give off an indescribable eeriness.

He didn’t seem like a returnee professor, but more like a jackal or a bird of prey...

The experts took turns speaking, discussing the most advanced biomedical technologies.

The audience was attentive, listening and taking notes.

No wonder so many people were clamoring to attend this symposium; besides here, it was unlikely that one could hear such profound insights from so many authoritative figures at once.

Xia Ye leaned back in her chair, propping her chin with one hand, her gaze locked onto Luo Yisan from beginning to end.

The images that had just flashed by in her mind were so quick they were blurred. Were they remnants of past events, or a premonition of the future?

Xia Ye had no way of knowing.

After the experts finished speaking, it was time for interaction between the stage and the audience.

This was the part everyone was most looking forward to.

Many experts had not yet stepped down from the stage when they were surrounded by ’fans’ who had come specially to see them.

All were scholarly and polite, engaging in courteous and animated conversations, though not loud.

Luo Yisan was the youngest among the experts, and his speech had already given off an air of inaccessibility, so not many approached him for an exchange.

Holding a cup of coffee, Luo Yisan walked aside, his eyes cold and emotionless, his thoughts inscrutable to anyone.

Except for Xia Ye, Shen Zhiqiao, who had also taken note of him, seized the opportunity when there were no others around and approached, "The person who entered my brother’s study that day... was it you?"

Today, Luo Yisan had changed his attire and removed his Hat, looking quite different from the man Shen Zhiqiao had encountered at the door of the study room, but she still recognized him.

Being someone related to her brother, she was subconsciously on alert.

She had just asked her question when, after a few seconds, Luo Yisan’s lifeless eyes slowly turned towards her.

His eyes had more white than black, making Shen Zhiqiao especially irritated, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

It seemed that he noticed her reaction and averted his gaze, "Yes, Miss Shen," he said respectfully, "That day, I came to discuss employment at Shen Private Hospital with Mr. Shen."

Was it just that?

Shen Zhiqiao couldn’t pinpoint why, but she felt he was concealing something.

That day, her brother had specifically instructed his secretary to wait outside the study, which proved that the visitor was extraordinary.

If it was merely to discuss a position at Shen Hospital, that would be something for Director Ke to handle. This Luo Yisan likely didn’t even qualify to step into her brother’s study.

But if it wasn’t for this, what else could her brother want with him?

Shen Zhiqiao could not figure it out for the moment.

From Luo Yisan’s attire to his manners, he seemed unlikely to be someone her brother would associate with.

"I see," Shen Zhiqiao said as she put her hands back in her pockets, "Then Professor Luo, do continue with your work. I won’t disturb you."

Luo Yisan nodded slightly, and only after Shen Zhiqiao turned to walk away did he let his gaze fall on her retreating figure.

He watched her ambiguously for a while, then tilted his head and drained the coffee in his hand.

After putting the empty cup on the table, he slipped his hands into the pockets of his white lab coat, about to leave, but a cool voice stopped him: "Professor Luo, why have you been staring at that spirited young lady?"

The voice carried a mocking, worldly tone. Luo Yisan’s figure paused almost imperceptibly, but he soon regained his composure. He turned to Xia Ye, "I was just looking at the scenery."

Xia Ye casually nodded, and after a moment, a cunning light flickered in her eyes, "Professor Luo, have we met somewhere before?"

Faced with Xia Ye’s curiosity, Luo Yisan responded with composure, "Miss Xia, I have recently returned to the country. You must be mistaken."

A seemingly normal reply, but when he stepped forward, intending to leave, Xia Ye blocked his path.

"If Professor Luo has only just returned, how would you know I am Miss Xia?"

A flash of ruthlessness flickered through Luo Yisan’s otherwise still and placid eyes, gone in an instant. He quickly found a response, "I had the honor to meet Mr. Xia on the day of the hospital’s opening. He mentioned you, and you are also quite famous online."

Xia Ye smiled inscrutably, no longer pressing the issue.

Luo Yisan saw the clever and exquisite Xia Ye now, a weird look crossing his face...
