Ye Wangchuan smiled, restarted the car, turned the car around and drove towards the city center: "Then eat at home. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables."
"kindness."
Qiao Nian responded and had no objection.
Ye Wangchuan drove the car steadily.
Qiao Nian sat steadily in her seat, took out the old photo that Xie Tingyun gave her from her pocket, and looked at it attentively for a while.
In the photo, Xie Tingyun is still very young, standing next to Ji Qing. It can be seen that she has a good relationship with Ji Qing.
Qiao Nian looked at it for a while, put the old photo away, pursed her lips, and suddenly said: "Aunt Xie wants to adopt me as her goddaughter."
Ever since she took out the photo, Ye Wangchuan had noticed the old photo in her hand and had also seen the person in the photo.
He just didn't interrupt the girl's thoughts.
It wasn't until Qiao Nian mentioned it to him that he asked, "What do you think?"
Qiao Nian put her hand away, her eyes were clear and outstanding, and her voice was not loud: "She probably knows my background. She was afraid that I would do things without considering the consequences, so she thought of adopting me as her goddaughter to give me an extra guarantee."
In fact, Xie Tingyun didn't need to do this.
Qiao Nian was very clear about what she had done, and she also knew that the Ji family could not do anything to her.
What she couldn't refuse was not Xie Tingyun's "guarantee", but the kindness of an elder who cared about her.
Ye Wangchuan understood her, so he didn't say anything at this moment and let Qiao Nian make her own decision.
"I probably won't refuse."
In fact, Qiao Nian had already made up her mind, she was just not used to the feeling of being too bound.
Before, she had nothing behind her, and seemed more free and easy.
Now she has many more people behind her who need protection and care. Although she is not as free and easy as before, her heart seems to be more fulfilled.
Not so empty anymore. Qiao Nian frowned, then relaxed his brows, and decided not to think about it anymore: “I’ll think about it for another two days.”
Ye Wangchuan hummed, looked straight ahead, put his hands on the steering wheel, and drove the car steadily to the supermarket to buy things.

Qiao Nian said she needed two days to think about it, but Nan Tianyi couldn't wait and called her again.
Although Nan Tianyi did not mention the matter of his goddaughter on the phone, he clearly wanted to test her attitude and see what she thought.
The next night, Qiao Nian sent a message to Xie Tingyun, agreeing.
Xie Tingyun was naturally overjoyed, and his whole spirits improved a lot. He completely ignored Xie's mother and Xie Xinyao who had frequently visited him in the past two days, and immediately started to make arrangements for a banquet.
Xie Tingyun's decision to adopt a goddaughter was big news in the Independent Continent.
However, Xie Tingyun took into consideration Qiao Nian's quiet personality and her dislike of crowded occasions, so she suppressed her excitement and did not choose to hold a grand wedding.
After discussing with Nan Tianyi, she decided to hold a small banquet to announce the news.
Although Xie Tingyun planned to notify everyone in a small circle, her purpose was to tell everyone that she would protect Qiao Nian in the future, and anyone who wanted to touch Qiao Nian had to consider whether she agreed first.
So she put a lot of thought into who to invite.
Apart from anything else, I even wrote two copies of the proposed list.
Several important families in the Independent Continent were all on her list, followed by her connections in the research institute.
All the important figures from the Ji family, Xie family and Nan family are on the list.
Feng Yu and Ji Lingfeng were also among the guests she invited.
Of course, the Xie family is also on this list.
Xie's mother and Xie Xinyao were also invited.
