Upon hearing this, Ye Wangchuan did not deliberately ask her how she was doing in the Level 8 Laboratory. He started the car, smiled and said, "Let's go eat first!"
"Gu San is back, I'll take you to eat hotpot. Wanna go?"
Qiao Nian's appetite was average to begin with.
Until she heard Ye Wangchuan mention hot pot, she suddenly felt a little hungry. She temporarily put aside the trivial matters of the Level 8 Laboratory, raised the corners of her lips, and felt much more cheerful: "Let's go!"
She looked in the rearview mirror again, at Gu San whom she hadn't seen for more than a month, pursed her lips, and her eyes became warmer: "I'll treat you to a welcome dinner for Gu San."
"Ms. Qiao, wuwu..." Gu San who was sitting in the back was almost in tears, he almost wanted to find a big boss to follow him on the spot.
Ye Wangchuan glanced at him, then looked at the girl with amusement, and said softly in a low and smiling tone: "I will treat you at noon, just eat it."
Qiao Nian didn't have time to say anything.
He had already turned the car around, with one hand on the steering wheel, looking forward with his side profile, and whispered in a relaxed and soothing tone: "Nian Nian, it doesn't matter who treats us."
"family."
He said the word "family" in a very low and hoarse voice, as if he was whispering in Qiao Nian's ear.
Qiao Nian's heartstrings were suddenly plucked, and her heartbeat became a little disordered. She drooped her eyelids, her fair fingers hooked on the strap of her shoulder bag, and she was suddenly speechless.
Just... the city knows how to have fun!
Every time she was not careful, she would be dragged into the ditch.

Ye Wangchuan found a hotpot restaurant.
After all, Independence Island is not in China, and the taste of the hot pot here is only mediocre.
However, Qiao Nian hadn't eaten hotpot for a long time, so he ate a lot at lunch.
Ye Wangchuan spent most of his time boiling various dishes for her, picking up food for her, and pouring tea for her. During the meal, Qiao Nian hardly moved his hands to pick up food, and he himself didn't eat much.
After dinner, Gu San talked to Qiao Nian about some recent events in Beijing, and Ye Wangchuan went to pay the bill.
After a while.
The person who went to pay the bill came back.
The man was only wearing a dark blue thick-knit sweater with a lapel today. He was tall and slender, which also highlighted his elegant and graceful temperament.
Ye Wangchuan walked up to the two of them, raised his deep eyes, and asked the girl: "What are your plans for the afternoon? Are you going home?"
He was asking Qiao Nian if he wanted to go back to his residence to rest.
Qiao Nian frowned, a trace of annoyance and irritation flashed across his eyes. He picked up his shoulder bag and said to the two of them, "I'm going back to the lab."
…
Half an hour later, the black Land Rover SUV returned to the intersection outside the First Research Institute and stopped steadily.
Qiao Nian picked up his things, unbuckled his seat belt, and prepared to get out of the car.
Ye Wangchuan called her before she got off the car: "I'll pick you up at six in the afternoon."
Qiao Nian had already gotten out of the car, with one hand on the door. Upon hearing this, she glanced at him, her dark eyes concealing her irritability, and she said, "Let's talk about it this afternoon."
She said something to Gu San again, closed the car door, turned around and walked towards the First Research Institute. At the same time, she waved to the people in the car without looking back, indicating that they should go back first.
Until Qiao Nian disappeared.
Gu Sancai rolled up the car window and said to the man in the car, "Master Wang, I see that Miss Qiao seems to be in a bad mood when she mentions the laboratory. Is she not doing well in the First Research Institute? By the way, which laboratory is she in now?"
