Qiao Nian looked at the apple handed to him, slowly stretched out his hand, his eyelids still a little tired, and his voice was hoarse: "What's the matter?"
"I don't know. Mr. Nie didn't say."
After Ye Wangchuan handed the apple to her, he wiped his hands with a tissue, turned around and gently took two tissues for her and placed them next to her.
He raised his eyes and asked her, "When do you plan to return to the Independent Continent? The research institute is urging me to do so. The dean has asked me about this several times."
Feng Yu also called Qiao Nian not long ago and asked this question indirectly on the phone.
The apple in Qiao Nian's mouth suddenly lost its taste. Gu San came over with a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator. "Miss Qiao, your water."
He handed the water to the girl, and turned around as if remembering something: "Master Wang, the old man asked if you would like to go home for dinner tonight? The eldest lady will cook."
Ye Wangchuan lifted his eyelids and saw the faint marks under the girl's eyelids. He pursed his lips and said, "It's too late to tell him. Let's talk about it another day."
Gu San thought about it and nodded: "Yes, I will call the young lady back."
He said this and walked away.
Qiao Nian put down the apple in his hand, wiped his hands, picked up the water beside him, unscrewed the cap, and drank two gulps.
The Evian just taken out of the refrigerator went down my throat with a cool feeling, slightly relieving the depression in my chest.
She took the water away, put away her nonchalant temperament, and sat up straighter: "Nie Qingru will not give up."
"Tsk." Ye Wangchuan narrowed his eyes lazily and said coldly: "Then let her come."
Qiao Nian glanced at him: "I don't know what she's going to do next... I originally wanted to go back to Independent Island in the next few days, but just now I thought about where she would start if she wanted to retaliate against me. Independent Island is not her territory..."
"Of course, Jing City is not her territory either." The girl continued in a gentle and calm voice, "But compared to the complicated situation in the Independent Continent, Jing City is obviously more conducive to her performance... There are people I care about here."
Only after hearing the last sentence did Ye Wangchuan understand what she was worried about.
"Are you afraid that she will do the same to Mr. Jiang and the others as Nie Qixing did?"
"Tsk, she's just a lunatic, there's nothing she can't do." Qiao Nian's eyebrows were dry and cold: "If she dares to come..."
She didn't finish the rest of her sentence.
Ye Wangchuan knew it very well.
If Nie Qingru dares to come, she will make sure that Nie Qingru will never return!
He didn't want Qiao Nian to be overly distracted by Nie Qingru and immersed in the hostility that Nie Qingru wanted her to be immersed in.
So Ye Wangchuan smiled and suddenly brought it up in a joking tone: "Qin Si's birthday is coming up in a few days, and you're not going back. Do you want to go?"
"His birthday?" Qiao Nian was indeed partially attracted by what he mentioned. She put her hand on her forehead and felt a little headache. "Why didn't I hear him mention it before?"
"Young man, there's no need for a big wedding, just a small meal with friends and family." Ye Wangchuan's tone was soothing, lazy and casual.
In fact, Qin Si had not decided whether to hold a small or large celebration, but since he said so, he could only celebrate his birthday in a small scale.
"It's in his villa in the suburbs. The environment there is nice, the air is fresh, and there is a private hot spring where you can relax. Do you want to go?"
"… "
Qiao Nian glanced at him slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After several seconds, she didn't seem to have any objection: "Go ahead."
Ye Wangchuan knew she would agree, so he bent down, picked up the phone on the coffee table and said, "I'll tell Qin Si."
