Chapter 228: 208 Matching Couple’s First Item with Fellow Taoists!_2
Xia Ye’s earlobes were especially beautiful, smooth in contour and looked as if they carried good fortune.
Jiang Xuan had observed them closely, so he recognized at a glance that Evan’s drawing was of Xia Ye’s earlobes.
When he received the painting, he lifted his gaze and stared at Evan for a long time until Evan felt his hairs stand on end.
He spoke with an ambiguous tone that made it hard to discern his emotions, "You observe quite meticulously."
Evan replied with a dry laugh, "Well, as a jewelry maker, I’m naturally sensitive to these things..."
But his heart was drumming nervously.
Was the president commending him?
Or did it feel like a jar of vinegar had been overturned?
After parking the car and entering Beijing Hospital, they ran into Pu Meilan, the head of the psychology department, who was at the front desk gathering some materials.
Dressed in her white coat, she looked very smart.
She recognized Xia Ye at a glance; not only was Xia Ye naturally beautiful, which made her memorable, but also—
Pu Meilan greeted them both generously, her voice warm, "Yeye, I’ve seen those photos of you. A pretty girl like you looks good in any shot."
Then she turned to Jiang Xuan, "President Jiang indeed has a keen eye. Having Yeye as a spokesperson is just as good as having a celebrity."
Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, responding politely.
Pu Meilan had seen Jiang Xuan at First Middle School when she gave a psychology lecture and knew he was the president of Jiang’s corporation.
Especially after the incident of the PPT mix-up, her impression of him had deepened.
Seeing the two of them at the hospital together, she wasn’t surprised at all.
She was a psychologist, after all. When she was at the school auditorium, she had understood everything from the way President Jiang looked at Xia Ye.
In contrast, Xia Ye was somewhat puzzled and furrowed her brows, "You know about my endorsement deal too?"
Pu Meilan said matter-of-factly, "I’m usually not concerned with these things, but I took a closer look when I recognized that it was you in the photos."
Xia Ye let out a sigh of relief; it was only because Pu Meilan knew her that she had paid attention to the news, which was acceptable.
After a while, Pu Meilan asked why they were at the hospital and about the release date of the high school exam results, and when Xia Ye mentioned that she was considering Beijing University, Pu Meilan patted her shoulder with a bright smile, "Still so humorous and witty. Good, you should always keep an optimistic attitude like that!"
Xia Ye: ...
On the way to the cosmetic department, Xia Ye noticed that there were always people looking in their direction. At first, she thought they were looking at Jiang Xuan since he was tall and stood out in the crowd.
It wasn’t until they entered the cosmetic department’s office that even the cosmetic department head, a woman in her forties with permed curls, stared at Xia Ye’s face in surprise and exclaimed, "Isn’t this the girl from the online photos?"
Only then did Xia Ye realize that those people might have been looking at her too.
Apparently, it wasn’t just those who knew her like Director Pu who were interested in her news.
The department head knew that the gentleman who had contacted her the day before was someone of no ordinary standing, but she hadn’t expected the young girl coming to get her ears pierced to be a little star!
But then again, it was normal for the wealthy to rub shoulders with celebrities.
Her gaze fell back on the impeccably dressed man next to the little star—this must be the President Jiang mentioned over the phone.
Such a tall fellow, handsome too; children from wealthy families really do have it good in terms of nutrition.
After exchanging polite greetings, Dr. Wang took Xia Ye to the laser room, with Jiang Xuan accompanying her.
Once Xia Ye was seated, following the positions marked on the hand-drawn diagram, Dr. Wang placed two little black dots on Xia Ye’s earlobes.
She then handed the mirror to her and Jiang Xuan for them to decide if they were satisfied.
The two nurses in pink uniforms, who were accompanying them, kept secretly glancing at Jiang Xuan.
They were discussing the nature of his relationship with the girl he had come with.
There didn’t seem to be much interaction between the two, and their behavior was very proper. One nurse thought they might be siblings, but the other had noticed that ever since Jiang Xuan entered the cosmetic department, his gaze had been fixed on Xia Ye, guessing he might be her boyfriend.
The former nurse appeared disappointed, "Really? That can’t be, right?"
Dr. Wang, holding the mirror towards Xia Ye, spoke in a kind voice, "Nowadays, we use laser piercing, which isn’t very painful, just like being pricked by a needle point."
She expected such a beautiful girl to be afraid of pain, but soon she saw Xia Ye curl her lip, "No problem, go ahead."
Just pierce it.
Dr. Wang was very professional, first thoroughly disinfecting Xia Ye’s ear.
This included the entire auricle, behind the ear, extending down to the chin, and even part of her neck, and then she tied a slightly thick cotton scarf around her slender neck.
Once the preparation work was finished, the ear piercing process was quick. Xia Ye hardly felt anything before it was over, and Dr. Wang disinfected her again and applied a bit of anti-inflammatory ointment.
