Chapter 498: 305 The Mysterious Designer That Makes Gentle Moms’ Hearts Flutter!_3
Jiang Xuan nodded in understanding, without giving much explanation.
Whether by generation or age, they were all his subjects, his younger ones.
Xia Xian’s family had hired a master of Chinese cuisine who was particularly skilled with dumpling fillings.
They even prepared coins and red dates according to customs back home.
Some dumplings had regular fillings, while others contained a coin or a red date. Eating a dumpling with a ’surprise’ inside was said to presage a year of wealth or blossoming romance.
Everyone except Jiang Xuan and Xia Xian joined in the dumpling making.
Making them together was more meaningful.
But the chef soon realized—none of these people knew how to make dumplings!
His subordinates had never done delicate work; their dumplings were bigger than buns, like depth charges.
Shen Jing, however, made pretty good ones—neat and shaped like little ingots.
Xia Ye also made one.
Her hands were skilled at making traps and preparing powders, but cooking... freёnovelkiss.com
Looked like a lump of paste.
She immediately lost interest in the task, tossed her dumpling onto the cutting board, shoved her hands in her pockets, and turned to watch TV on the couch.
The TV was broadcasting a live countdown to the New Year’s gala, and she heard that her second brother would be featured when the show started.
No sooner had she left than a certain ’collector’ CEO silently wrapped the dumpling in a napkin and pocketed it.
Xia Ye nestled into the couch, her phone ringing with a video call invitation from Xu He.
On New Year’s Eve, her mother definitely wanted to see her lovely daughter.
As the video connected, Xia Ye saw a blur of red on the screen.
Then Yuzheng’s voice came through, "You’re holding the clothes too close; Yeye can’t see them like that."
Xu He, "Ah, truly..."
After adjusting for a bit, the camera refocused and Xu He displayed two red, festive outfits, "Little Tiangao, look at the New Year’s outfits Mommy prepared for you! Which one do you..."
Before she could finish saying ’one’, Xu He noticed her daughter was already wearing a little red dress.
And this dress was far prettier than the two she had picked out herself.
Xu He hadn’t seen a dress that matched her tastes so perfectly in a long time and immediately discarded the other two, "Little Tiangao, who bought the dress you are wearing now? Your third brother?"
In the background, Yuzheng silently took down the garment covering his face and folded it neatly.
His wife still couldn’t walk past a beautiful dress without stopping, just like before.
Xia Ye, "Not the third brother, it was... Uncle Jiang."
"Oh, it was President Jiang..." Xu He wasn’t surprised, "I knew it, Xianxian wouldn’t have such good taste. Little Tiangao, what brand is this dress?"
Xia Ye examined the edges of the dress and even checked the label at the back, "It seems there’s no logo."
"No logo?" Xu He stroked her chin, could it be a bespoke design from a designer?
She rarely pursued details, but the dress on Little Tiangao was exactly on point with her aesthetics, she simply couldn’t hold back.
"Little Tiangao, could you find a chance to ask for me, ask President Jiang which designer designed it? Mom really loves ’his’ design..."
The last time she felt this way was when she first saw a T·D drawing.
If Paris could recruit such talent...
Xia Ye readily agreed, "Okay, I’ll ask him later."
The subordinates were shooed out of the kitchen by the chef, and seeing the young mistress video calling home, they politely greeted in Chinese.
"Mrs. Xia looks so beautiful."
"How can she look so young? She looks barely over thirty, right?"
Xu He smiled warmly and wished them a happy new year.
Xia Xian heard the voice, "Little Tiangao, is it mom’s video? Good timing, I haven’t greeted the old folks for the new year yet..."
But as he approached, Xu He, completely forgetting she had another son, cheerily waved goodbye to Little Tiangao, "Then have fun, don’t forget to eat dumplings, mommy is hanging up now—"
The video call cut off right in front of Xia Xian.
"..."
20:00, the New Year’s Gala officially started, and the chef served the dumplings.
Everyone sat around a large dining table.
Each hoped to eat dumplings that brought good omens.
Eating a dumpling with a coin meant inviting wealth, while one with a red date signified blossoming romance.
Xia Ye also quietly made a wish.
When they started, she was determined to eat as many ’coin dumplings’ as possible!

ps: Will Sister Ye’s New Year wish come true?
