Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots

78: 078 Night God 78: 078 Night God **

In the private room, “Monk’s Meat” Jiang Xuan sat at the end of the long table, lazily leaning back in his chair, his suit tailored neatly, shirt buttoned up to the last one, strangled by his tidy tie.

The light fell on his face, making his ink-colored pupils translucent.

Jiang Xuan watched Xia Ye eat with interest, “You didn’t accept my WeChat request before, why have you come to find me these days?”

Xia Ye was tempted by his enticing spiritual energy-glossed skin, her smile sly, Jiang Xuan could almost see her fluffy silvery-white fox tail peeking out.

She said, “Because I want…

to dual cultivate with you.”

Jiang Xuan’s pupils, dark as deep pools, contracted.

Xia Ye observed his reaction and chuckled to herself, certain that her words had scared him.

People nowadays don’t know about dual cultivation.

Seeing Jiang Xuan’s thin lips part slightly, unsure of what he was about to say, Xia Ye hurriedly spoke first, “I’m just kidding~”

Jiang Xuan: …

He was just about to say ‘okay’!

And she tells him it was a joke?

**

When Xia Ye got home that evening, Xia Xing had just entered the house too.

He had returned on an evening flight from Jiangzhou.

Mrs.

Wu had the kitchen prepare some fresh dishes, and Xia Xing was eating in the dining room.

Although the discussion about him in the competition was all positive, Xia Xing looked less spirited than usual.

He scrolled through his phone while eating.

The short videos were pushed to him based on his preferences.

So what he scrolled through was nothing but esports, sneakers, and…

Jian Manman.

Xu He walked back and forth beside him several times, pretending to pass by, and finally found a moment he wasn’t looking at his phone, decided to speak quickly, trying to say as much as possible before her son could interrupt her, “Xing Xing, I met your Aunt Gu’s daughter today, she used to play at our house when you were kids, chubby back then, you always teased her for being a little piglet, but I saw her today, and she’s now actually…”

“Mom,” Xia Xing dragged his voice, “I don’t want to date right now.”

Xu He: …

Great, she was speaking at double speed, almost bit her tongue, and still didn’t finish, and…

it was right at the most crucial point!

She could have forced the rest out, but she really liked the little girl from the Gu family, and because of that, she was more afraid to say too much and trigger Xia Xing’s opposition, which would ruin everything.

Well, since they all live in Capital City, who knows, the two might just bump into each other.

But, whether Xia Xing would recognize her, that’s hard to tell~

Xia Yourong had just finished her homework and was also on her phone, scrolling through ‘Manman Xing’, a dedicated fan shipping her and Jian Manman, who had no actual interaction at the event, but through sophisticated editing, their scenes were made to spark with chemistry, full of couple vibes.

All the deep gazes, hesitations before speaking, and pampering looks were purely the work of editing, let alone how impressive it felt, over 500,000 likes, with numerous top comments getting hundreds of thousands of likes.

Xia Yourong casually placed her hand on her second brother’s shoulder, phone in front of him: “Second brother, look at how talented your fan is, you and Sister Manman didn’t even look at each other on site, but after their edit, it’s like you two are back together.”

Xia Xing looked at the cut, at the hearts popping out around Jian Manman’s bright smile, and tightened his grip on his chopsticks.

“Yeah, quite good at making something from nothing, pretty talented,” he subtly shifted to the side.

Xia Yourong found no support for her arm, so she simply leaned on the back of Xia Xing’s chair with one hand: “Right?

See how much I keep up with you, the short videos I’m scrolling through are all about news related to you.”

She continued scrolling for a while before heading over to the sofa area, picking a spot neither too close nor too far from Xia Ye to sit down.

Xia Ye had her arm draped over the back of the sofa, her chin propped on that same arm, “Showing that kind of video to Second Brother, what were you thinking?”

Xia Yourong was momentarily stunned, then deliberately feigned a tone of astonishment, “Are you talking to me?”

Xia Ye pointed behind her, “I’m talking to the little red-dressed sister on your shoulder.”

“Ah—” Xia Yourong instinctively turned her head, but the moment she did, she realized she had been teased and said in a lowered voice, brimming with disgust, “Stop pretending to be nice here.

You just got back and don’t know anything about Second Brother.

I saw his whole relationship with Sister Manman.

Sister Manman is really nice, gentle, and kind, a rare gem in the entertainment industry.

It’s a pity they broke up, but Second Brother has moved on.

He was just having a great time a moment ago.”

Xia Ye stared at her face with no particular expression, then suddenly said, “Can you shake your head for me to see?”

Xia Yourong didn’t understand why she was being asked to shake her head out of the blue, afraid she might have bugs on her, so she quickly did.

She was terrified of bugs.

No sooner had she finished shaking her head than she heard Xia Ye say seriously, “Oh, that’s the sound.

I thought there was a leak somewhere.”

Xia Yourong pursed her lips tightly.

What was that supposed to mean?

Xia Ye leaned aside, playing on her phone, having no desire to deal with her at all.

Jiang Yunyang had been inviting Xia Ye to play games frequently, even begging her to use a specific hero.

She didn’t want to, but he would whine and whimper, saying someone really wanted to see her use that hero.

Who knew what he was up to.

And now, at 10 PM, he was still online.

The kiddo was pretty clever; normally at this late hour, when she received game invitations, Xia Ye would pretend to be asleep and not respond, but Jiang Yunyang would always send her a red envelope first, blasting her out of sleep, then invite her to play.

Xia Ye was puzzled.

How could she not control herself, wanting to click every time she saw a red envelope?!

Xia Yourong heard the sound of Xia Ye starting a game and thought of something.

She craned her neck and asked Xia Xing, “Second Brother, do you know someone with a short video account called ‘Night God’?

Is he from your team?”

Xia Xing looked up at them, “Night God?”

Xia Yourong, “Yes, Night as in evening, and God as in deity, always posting game clips on short video, really awesome.”

She had been hearing Tian Ye mention this person lately.

Xia Xing chuckled lightly, “Isn’t that Little Tiangao?”

Xia Yourong looked incredulous, “What?

‘Night God’ is my sister?”

Xia Ye slowly raised her eyelids to glance at them.

Then she heard Xia Xing explain, “Yeah, I am Xia Shen, isn’t Little Tiangao naturally Night God?”

Xia Yourong patted her proudly arched chest, scared to death, so Second Brother was just kidding.

She almost had her world rocked.

“Second Brother, you really had me—I thought it was actually Little Sis ~”

Xia Xing curled his lips, his tone affectionate, “Anyway, the only ‘Night God’ I know is Little Sis, haven’t heard of others.

Definitely not from our team, whether it’s from another team, I’m not sure.”

Xia Yourong obediently ‘oh’ed softly.

She then glared at Xia Ye, who lay sprawled on the sofa, casually playing games.

This ‘Night’, compared to that deity?

Hands clumsier than feet!
