Qiao Nian always likes to drink coffee when she is outside, not because she likes the taste of coffee, but because she is used to being nervous in an unfamiliar environment, and the caffeine in coffee can stimulate her brain, allowing her to maintain this highly concentrated state for a long time.
But she didn't get coffee just now, she chose a bottle of drink.
Qiao Nian was in a daze for a moment, then he looked away immediately, his expression indifferent: "Just take it casually."
She said it didn't matter, but she already had the answer in her heart.
The coffee drinks from 711 were all placed in the freezer next to her, and every time she drank a cold drink, Ye Wangchuan would say that she didn't pay attention to her stomach...
Because they were video chatting, she subconsciously avoided the ice drink and picked up a bottle of creamer instead.
However, Qiao Nian would never admit his subconscious reaction at that moment in this matter.
I just... don't want to admit it.
"Have you eaten?" She suddenly asked to change the subject, then she remembered, "It should be one o'clock in the morning in Independence Island. Are you still awake?"
It seemed as bright as day over there, and she almost forgot about the time difference.
Ye Wangchuan lazily leaned back in his chair, his hands hanging down, but he didn't continue to argue about why it wasn't the coffee. He looked at her with a smile in his high nose and deep eyes: "You didn't reply to my message, I was just waiting for you to finish your work."
Qiao Nian paused for another second: "I remember telling you as soon as I got off the plane."
The first thing she did after getting off the plane was to send him a message to let him know that she had landed safely. Later, she was busy checking in and looking for Ji Lin, so she didn't see what he replied.
She suddenly remembered it and exited the video and took a look at the message Ye Wangchuan replied to her.
[Y: Which hotel are you going to stay in? Do you have the address? ]
Then another half an hour passed.
[Y: Have you arrived at the hotel?]
Qiao Nian's eyes turned deep. She understood why he called her at this time. It seemed that he was worried about her.
"I went to find Ji Lin as soon as I got to the hotel. I was with him when I didn't answer your video call just now. I just came out and was about to go back to the hotel."
She was not good at explaining, nor did she bother to explain to others, but this person was him, and Qiao Nian felt that it was no big deal to explain.
"I will meet Nie Qingru tomorrow. If everything goes well, I can find the location of her safe..."
Qiao Nian's voice was very low, and no emotion could be heard.
But Ye Wangchuan understood her, and also understood her complicated feelings towards Nie Qingru beneath her calm narration.
Her own grandmother was more vicious than her enemies, and the unclear hatred and grudges of the previous generation had always troubled her.
It can be said that if there had not been the complicated entanglements of the previous generation, she would not have come to this point today, would not have become Sun, and would not have experienced so much.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Nie Qingru has never loved Ji Qing, so she can sacrifice her daughter without hesitation for the sake of benefit.
Ji Qing loved her daughter, so she tried her best to find a way for Qiao Nian to survive.
Qiao Nian has been tracing the path Ji Qing took back then, trying to find out the truth and what Ji Qing had gone through that led to his death without a trace left.
He didn't say anything to comfort her, but said in a hoarse voice: "I'll come as soon as possible."
"Um."
Qiao Nian was only depressed for a while, then she put the negative emotions behind her and said to him, "I'm afraid that the thing I'm going to sell tomorrow is not just for her. Tsk, if she wants to get it, she'll probably have to pay a lot... If she knew that the money would end up in my hands, I wonder if that thing would still be worth it."
