His voice was hoarse, and he was in no hurry to leave. He put one hand on the steering wheel and said to the girl who was waiting for someone on the side of the road: "Let me know when you're done, and I'll pick you up later."
Qiao Nian's earlobes were still a little hot, but the heat on her face had subsided, and she looked lazy and casual: "Let's talk about it later."
"I'll take you to eat hot pot." Ye Wangchuan smiled slightly and whispered, "Let's eat at the one you like."
Qiao Nian finally looked him straight in the eye, narrowed her beautiful black eyes, raised her hand, pressed down the brim of her hat, and finally said "yes" to him.
Ye Wangchuan knew that apart from the spicy chicken dish cooked by the chef from Yu Mansion, only the hot pot restaurant that Zhang Yang had taken them to could impress Qiao Nian.
He wanted to laugh, but after a little thought he realized that in his girlfriend's eyes he was not as good as a plate of spicy chicken.
He couldn't laugh anymore. Ye Wangchuan looked at the girl on the side of the road and said gently, "Message me when you're done."
"knew."
Qiao Nian's cell phone rang. She took it out of her pocket and saw that it was Jiang Zongnan calling.
Most likely they have arrived at the place they agreed to meet.
"Let's go." She stopped talking nonsense, put her phone back in her pocket, waved at the black car with one hand in her pocket, and walked towards the school gate with big strides.

Ten minutes later, Qiao Nian arrived at the milk tea shop opposite the school where she had made an appointment with Jiang Zongnan. She immediately saw the person sitting at the table at the outermost part of the milk tea shop, who had ordered a cup of milk tea and was waiting for her there.
Qiao Nian walked towards the table.
Jiang Zongnan had been looking down at the time on his wrist from time to time. When he looked up, he saw that there was an extra person sitting opposite him. He called out in surprise, "Nian Nian."
"Yeah." Qiao Nian pulled out a chair and sat down naturally.
Jiang Zongnan immediately pushed the milk tea he ordered in front of her and said gently, "I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered a cup of milk tea for you. The clerk said that the students in your school like to drink this, you can try it and see if you like it."
Qiao Nian saw the Oreo milk tea he pushed in front of her, but she didn't take it. She put her hands on the table, sat in a big and sloppy manner, and said in a low voice: "Second Uncle, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Jiang Zongnan has always been nice to her.
At least it's not bad.
He is Jiang Li's father. Qiao Nian can't say that she has deep feelings for him, but she should at least respect him.
Seeing that she didn't drink the milk tea he bought, Jiang Zongnan's smile was a little bitter. He sighed, without any intention of blaming her. He took out a key from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Qiao Nian, saying, "This is the five million I gave you before. Didn't you return it to me? I bought you a small apartment near Tsinghua University, with one bedroom and one living room. It's in your name and it hasn't been renovated yet."
"Here is the key to the house. Take it. You can use it to live in it yourself or rent it out. It depends on your personal arrangement."
Qiao Nian looked at the door key placed next to the milk tea, frowned slightly, picked up the key in front of Jiang Zongnan, and returned it to him, saying concisely: "Forget about the house. Just tell me what you want from me."
"I don't mean anything else, Second Uncle just..." Jiang Zongnan looked at her calm face, somehow feeling a little embarrassed, and even unable to raise his head.
He felt a knot in his heart, pressed his temple, and silently put away the key, saying, "If you don't want to keep it, forget it. I'll leave the key with your grandfather. You can ask your grandfather for it whenever you need it. Anyway, this house is in your name, so it's your house. You can live in it or leave it empty. It's up to you."
