Qiao Nian put the phone away and squinted his eyes to look at the date on the phone.
October 18th.
Not number nineteen.
She put the phone back to her ear. There seemed to be flickering light in her eyes. Half of her face was hidden in the sunlight. Her emotions could not be seen. "Didn't you say you would be back on the 19th?"
A light chuckle came from the other end of the phone, lingering and particularly charming: "I stayed up all night last night, finished my work ahead of time, and came back early."
Qiao Nian felt a little uncomfortable with his teasing and looked away, but then she remembered that someone was just making a phone call and was not here.
She calmed down again and asked, "Are you at the airport?"
When Jiang Li called her, Qiao Nian had just finished taking a shower.
She received a call from Jiang Li saying that He Congming came to the hospital, so she hurried over without bringing anything.
The only thing he had on him was a cell phone.
She held the phone in one hand and took it out of her pocket with the other hand. She looked at the cars on the road with her bright eyes and walked to the side of the road.
"Which terminal are you in? I'll take a cab right over."
Qin Si was stunned when he saw her leaving, and called out, "Sister Qiao, where are you going?"
Qiao Nian paused for a moment, stopped, and was thinking about how to talk to him.
The man's voice came from the other end of the phone again: "I have left the airport and need to go back to the Ye family to take care of some things."
Qiao Nian saw a taxi out of the corner of her eye and was about to hail it, but she stopped and raised her eyebrows when she heard his words, not understanding the meaning of his calling her.
He doesn't want to be picked up at the airport, so why would he call me specifically
Qiao Nian was thinking so.
Ye Wangchuan spoke slowly and unhurriedly, "I wanted to call you as soon as the plane landed, but then I thought I had to go back to the Ye family anyway, so I might as well wait until I was done with my work before looking for you. That was my original plan, but just now I suddenly wanted to hear your voice..." He seemed to sigh again, as gentle as water: "Niannian, what should I do, I miss you a little bit."
Qiao Nian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if there were dense drum beats beating on her chest, and she didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Ye Wangchuan knew the principle of quitting when things were going well, and he immediately said in a soothing tone: "I'm here. Where are you? I'll pick you up when I'm done."
Qiao Nian looked back at the hospital and said casually, "The First City Hospital."
"OK." Ye Wangchuan hummed, and then said, "I'll go pick you up later."
Qiao Nian grumbled and hung up the phone.
She put her phone back in her pocket, turned around, and faced Qin Si, her eyes frivolous and bandit-like, and said lazily: "I won't go to the birthday party you just mentioned. I will send a red envelope to Zhang Yang later, and say happy birthday to him for me."
Qin Si looked at her and said, "Then at night..."
"I have an appointment with someone." Qiao Nian had told Gu San before that she would treat him to a meal when he came back.
Ye Wangchuan is back, and Gu San must be back too.
She should eat out in the evening.
Qin Si originally wanted to ask who she was talking to, but then he remembered the voice on the other end of the phone that he had just pricked up his ears to hear. He heard it vaguely, but he was too familiar with the voice. The person who called Sister Qiao just now was obviously Wang Ye.
He suddenly felt like he was fed a mouthful of dog food!
I feel a little depressed.
However, he has good self-regulation ability and comforted himself that except for Wang Ye, it seems that everyone around him is single, so it’s no big deal.
Qin Si felt mentally balanced, and when he looked at Qiao Nian again, he said calmly, "Okay then, I'll convey your message."
