"Are you really willing to let me go?" Yu Xinlan looked at her deeply, as if she didn't believe that she would really keep her promise and let her go.
But she saw that Qiao Nian had no intention of regretting.
Yu Xinlan suddenly pursed her lips and ran away without saying a word.
There were people everywhere outside the small dark room, and Ji Lin's men were still guarding outside to prevent any emergencies from happening inside, so Qiao Nian couldn't call anyone.
When they saw Yu Xinlan coming out, they all looked over.
Yu Xinlan's heart was beating like a drum, almost jumping out of her chest. She walked close to the cracks in the wall, fearing that these people would capture her again.
However, surprisingly, although Ji Lin nodded at her, he turned around and asked the people around him: "What's wrong with her? Go see Miss Qiao."
"Yes." The man walked quickly towards the door.
But Yu Xinlan found that no one stopped her throughout the whole process.
Her oval face flushed red, and she could no longer suppress her excitement. She quickened her pace and trotted out of the Pharmacy Association.
…
In the Pharmacy Association.
Ji Lin's men saw Qiao Nian standing in the room unharmed, and went back to report the situation to Ji Lin.
Ji Lin looked for Qiao Nian with a puzzled look on his face. He saw that half of the girl's face was shrouded in light and shadow, and he couldn't see her emotions clearly. He lowered his eyes and said to the girl, "Ms. Qiao, Yu Xinlan is gone."
"Um."
Qiao Nian walked out from the shadows, with no emotion visible on her delicate face. She responded and looked no different from usual.
"Are we just going to let her go like this?" Ji Lin vaguely sensed that she was in a bad mood and followed her.
Qiao Nian suppressed the anxiety in his eyes, reached out and pulled down his cap, revealing only his fair chin: "She made a deal with me, and I promised to let her go."
Deal? Ji Lin looked up at her.
The girl's cold back looked particularly frail, and the sharp and unpleasant aura around her faded a lot, as if she was shrouded in boredom. Qiao Nian rarely showed this side of her.
Ji Lin didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he hesitated, walked in front of her, blocked the girl's way, and whispered: "Miss Qiao, are you okay?"
"Huh?" Qiao Nian was immersed in thought when she was suddenly stopped by someone. She slightly raised her thin eyelids and saw the undisguised concern on Ji Lin's face.
Qiao Nian raised her hand to press the corner of her eye, frowned and then released it, put her hand down, looked into his eyes and said, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about something."
Ji Lin raised the corner of his mouth: "I'm glad you're okay."
He was not sure what Qiao Nian and Yu Xinlan were talking about in the room, but since Qiao Nian said it was okay, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Qiao Nian's flight will leave Country M in the afternoon, and there are still a few hours before take-off.
She first went back to her hotel room and took a shower, using warm water to wash away the fatigue from a sleepless night.
The sound of water splashing in the bathroom.
When the sound of water gradually stopped, the girl came out wrapped in a bathrobe.
Her thin collarbone was revealed from the open neckline of her bathrobe, her black hair dripped with water and fell to her shoulders, and her whole body was shrouded in steaming mist.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The girl gathered up her wet hair and secured it with a leather band, then walked over with her long legs, pulled open the door.
"Qiao." Jian Jin greeted her from outside the door: "Um, were you taking a shower just now?"
"Come in." Qiao Nian moved aside to let her in.
Jian Jin closed the door and followed him.
"I heard from the Pharmacy Association that you're leaving this afternoon?"
