Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 425 - 281 Someone is challenging the Night Sister!_2

Many bigwigs are discussing that the Shen Family is very likely to become Jiang’s biggest competitor domestically.

On the way to the Academy of Sciences, Xia Ye received another call from Jiang Yunzhou.

"Little Fairy, I wrote down all the foods you told me pregnant women can’t eat yesterday, but what about fruits? Are there any they can’t have?"

"And also, my mom hired some prenatal yoga instructor recently, driving me and my dad crazy with worry. All those extensive stretching movements, won’t they stretch to the little baby inside her belly?"

Xia Ye calmly looked out of the window, patiently answering each question: "Fruits that are allergenic, high in calories, or that can cause ’heatiness,’ like longan and durian, should also be eaten sparingly. Your mom is an older expectant mother, so appropriate exercise won’t hurt, but the instructor she hires must be professional..."

During this period, Jiang Yunzhou would call almost every day.

When Liu Manyi first found out she was pregnant, she was quite afraid he wouldn’t accept it.

After all, having been the sole center of attention for over a decade, now suddenly someone new would come to vie for that attention.

And being almost nineteen years apart from his siblings, it was very possible he wouldn’t accept it.

But the outcome was a delightful surprise, Jiang Yunzhou not only accepted it but was also incredibly happy!

Especially when he learned that Liu Manyi’s pregnancy came after treatment by Little Fairy and that it was very likely to be a daughter.

Liu Manyi immediately felt relieved and even asked him with a smile, "Son, do you hope the little sister mom is going to give birth to looks more like me or your dad?"

Jiang Yunzhou’s eyes shone with expectation: "I hope she looks like... Little Fairy!"

Liu Manyi: ...

Regardless, as long as the son is happy, that’s what matters.

Liu Manyi wasn’t showing yet, but Jiang Yunzhou was already behaving like an older brother, researching every day and saving up questions to ask Xia Ye.

The Jiang Family, for some reason, only had sons across several households. If Liu Manyi could truly have a daughter this time, she would definitely be the princess cherished by everyone in their palms.

As Xia Ye said this, on the other end, Jiang Yunzhou was typing away furiously: "I see, I’ll talk to my dad when I get back, have him thoroughly check the yoga instructor’s qualifications... Oh right, Little Fairy, today is your first day reporting to the Academy of Sciences, right? Wish you all the best, I won’t bother you any longer. Hanging up now."

Xia Ye agreed, and after hanging up, she helplessly shook her head at the phone screen.

Seeing how anxious Jiang Yunzhou was, he might actually make a quite reliable and good father in the future~

After two rounds of written exams, only ten people ultimately became prospective students at the Academy of Sciences.

Xia Ye was assigned to Academician Fu, while Shen Zhiqiao was taken under Academician Li’s wing.

The other eight prospective students were evenly distributed among the other four academicians with less seniority.

The Academy of Sciences is a place for academic research, where efficiency is prioritized above all else, so any form of reporting ceremony was skipped. The academicians led their respective charges back to the laboratories to start on the first day’s experiments immediately.

On the first day, the students participated in an observational experiment.

They injected a group of lab mice with a certain dosage of a special agent and observed and recorded the reactions.

Xia Ye donned a white sterile lab coat, put on her clear goggles, and although her face was pretty well covered, when she followed Academician Fu into the laboratory, several young researchers in their team couldn’t help but glance at her.

They had heard rumors that a particularly beautiful junior sister was joining their team, and after many days of anticipation, they finally saw her in person.

Xia Ye didn’t look at them, instead focusing on Academician Fu’s explanation of the upcoming experiment.

"Stop looking, pay attention to Academician Fu’s description of the experiment," said a researcher named Huang Yan with a serious expression, his lab coat fastidiously buttoned up.

It was apparent that he was quite popular within the group, and once he spoke, the other researchers promptly averted their gazes.

At half-past five in the afternoon, the first day of experiments finally ended.

The researchers walked out of the lab, discussing the day’s experimental data.

After removing the goggles, there was a ring imprinted around the eyes, but nobody complained of fatigue.

"The agent used in today’s experiment really does significant damage to the central nervous system; the lab mice injected with it..."

"You sound quite sympathetic? Aren’t these kinds of experiments everyday occurrences for us? Their sacrifice is meaningful; these experiments are conducted to save more people."

"Of course, I understand that..."

The experiment groups of Academician Li and Academician Fu were next to each other.

And at that moment, Academician Li was leaving their group, took off his hat and gloves, and smoothed out his hair that was flattened down.
