Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 381 - 266 Do you want to have a boy or a girl?_3

Xia Ye furrowed her delicate brows, surveying Liu Manyi’s complexion, and after a moment, extended her hand, "Let me take your pulse first."

Liu Manyi revealed a smile, quickly rolled up her silk sleeve, and laid her arm flat on the table.

As Xia Ye was taking her pulse, Liu Manyi watched her facial expressions nervously.

After a good while, Xia Ye’s pursed lips finally relaxed into a curve, "It’s possible."

"Possible?" Liu Manyi was overjoyed.

Xia Ye nodded, "Do you want a boy or a girl?"

Liu Manyi was taken aback once more.

Could she actually choose?

Jiang Xuan also glanced at Xia Ye. Even though he wasn’t the one being asked, he couldn’t help but start pondering the question himself.

Xia Ye was calm and composed, "I can’t say it’s one hundred percent certain, but it’s around ninety percent accurate."

Liu Manyi quickly said, "A daughter! I want a daughter!"

Xia Ye made a rough estimate and tilted her chin towards Jiang Xuan, "I’ll give you the medicine in three days; you can just get it from him."

Liu Manyi was beyond grateful and earnestly said, "Yeye, don’t worry about the cost. Just tell auntie how much it is. As long as I can get pregnant, I’m willing to spend any amount."

Xia Ye’s slender and fair fingers lightly stroked her chin, "As for the money..."

"Please don’t feel embarrassed..." Liu Manyi feared she might refuse the money and had already prepared her persuasive words.

But before she could finish her sentence, she heard Xia Ye continue the next second.

"...I definitely need to take it."

Liu Manyi was momentarily taken aback.

No wonder she liked Yeye, she was indeed forthright...

Jiang Xuan wasn’t surprised at all, the little ancestor was just like that.

Liu Manyi’s lips twitched into a smile, "Of course, of course..."

After settling the matter of the medicine, she chatted with Xia Ye about family affairs for a while, talking about matters related to the Xia and Jiang families. One thing she mentioned caught both Xia Ye and Jiang Xuan’s attention.

She mentioned that Jiang Shan’s wife, Dai Aiyuan, was on good terms with Xia Ye’s little aunt Xu Qing. She had seen them on the phone together and even making plans to have afternoon tea...

These two had no common friends and no dealings with each other at work. Even though the Xia family was on good terms with the Jiang family, it had nothing to do with Xu Qing.

So it was quite surprising that the two of them knew each other...

There was less than a month left, and with only one day of training per week, there weren’t many opportunities. Professor Bian had arranged only the most basic content for Xia Ye.

By the last training session, Professor Bian was quite satisfied with Xia Ye’s basic abilities. freewebnσvel.cøm

As such, even if she didn’t qualify as a prospective student at the Academy of Sciences, her performance would not cause too much gossip.

The much-anticipated assessment was set for a Friday, and since they had to take a bus to the Academy of Sciences’ examination site, all the examinees had to wake up an hour earlier than usual.

Xia Ye was gently roused by a phone call from Xu He.

Seemingly, Xu He’s morning call was the only thing that could wake her without making her grumpy.

She didn’t climb down the ladder; instead, she flipped out of bed with remarkable agility.

Qi Ran and Lu Beibei each poked their little heads out from under the covers to wish her a smooth assessment and promotion.

Yang Qiange also woke up but pretended to sleep, turning over to continue her slumber.

Knowing full well that Xia Ye was just going through the motions, they still feigned best wishes for her success.

A superfluous gesture.

Dean Fan had arranged a large vehicle to take his four favorite students to the Academy of Sciences.

The seniors of the fourth year, along with Shen Zhiqiao, appeared unfazed, not at all like they had gotten up early.

Only Xia Ye leaned back in her seat, yawning several times.

The vehicle had also thoughtfully provided bread and milk.

Dean Fan asked each of them with concern, "Hungry? Want to eat something?"

The nervous seniors lacked any appetite. Shen Zhiqiao had already eaten breakfast and raised her hand to politely decline.

Finally, it was Xia Ye’s turn. After some thought, she said with slight difficulty, "Don’t let it go to waste, then... give it all to me..."

Dean Fan smiled indulgently, "Good, eat more."

Professor Bian had already gone ahead to the Academy of Sciences. On the vehicle, Dean Fan made a call to inquire about the situation there.

At first, he responded normally, but then, upon hearing something, Dean Fan suddenly raised his tone, "What? Dean Xie is also attending today? He’s already at the site?"

Upon hearing this, even Shen Zhiqiao couldn’t help but look at him.

The faces of the seniors changed, and they said to Xia Ye, who was focused on her meal, "Junior, Dean Xie is here too! He’s the one we told you about... Our Professor Bian’s mentor!"

Unlike their surprise, Xia Ye simply nodded calmly.

Professor Bian’s mentor, that’s her 498th grand-disciple...
