Hua Ci finally heard something happy: "Of course I'm going."
The female colleague nudged her with her elbow: "Are you happy? Are you happy? That's why I said you're fussing over a patient. We're giving her face by treating her. You're still getting angry for her, lowering your own status!"
Hua Ci didn't want to refute this time.
She agreed with her colleague's statement.
Just at this moment, the cell phone in her bag vibrated.
The female colleague tilted her head and saw: "Someone is calling you."
Hua Ci said thank you to her, then bent over, opened her bag and took out her cell phone. She lowered her eyes and saw Ye Lan's call. Her brows relaxed, she said something to her female colleague, and went back to her room to answer the call.
"Hello, Aunt Ye."
"I heard that you went to the Independent Continent? How is it? Are you used to it?" Ye Lan was as concerned as ever, but it was just the concern of an elder and there was no intimacy.
Hua Ci smiled and walked to the balcony: "I came here with the organization, everything is fine. You should also pay attention to your health. I will go to Beijing to see you when I am free."
"Okay." Ye Lan responded and prepared to hang up the phone.
Hua Ci hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Aunt Ye, did you know that there is a very young girl following Wang Chuan?"
"Who are you talking about?" Ye Lan took a moment to realize who the 'very young girl' she was referring to was.
Immediately, his hard brows softened: "Oh, you mean Nian Nian. I know, what's wrong?"
Hua Ci didn't understand why she had this attitude, and asked in confusion: "Did you know that she came to the Independent Continent?"
Ye Lan glanced at her, not understanding what was going on: "I know, she is in the Independent Continent, then what?"
Hua Ci couldn't help but raise his voice: "Independent Island is different from other places. It's not safe here. There are all kinds of people. It's dangerous for a little girl like her to come here... Wangchuan shouldn't have brought her here. You should quickly arrange for someone to send her back."
Ye Lan had been looking relaxed on the other end of the phone, leaning back in the office's leather chair. It was not until she heard Hua Ci talking about Qiao Nian on the phone that the warmth on her face gradually cooled. She interrupted Hua Ci's long speech in a gentle but dignified voice: "Hua Ci, this is Wang Chuan's own business. I have no right to interfere. Do you understand?"
Hua Ci had been expressing his disapproval very vehemently, but when he heard the words, he felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and his fair face suddenly turned red.
She clenched her phone, extremely embarrassed: "I...I'm sorry Aunt Ye."
Ye Lan still gave her face: "Your mother entrusted you to me, and I have always taught you as my half-daughter, but you have to understand what Wangchuan wants to do. In the Ye family, apart from the old man, even I can't say anything about him. After all, you and Wangchuan are not related by blood, and he is not your biological brother. You can just joke with him at ordinary times, and he won't embarrass you for my sake. But it doesn't mean that he likes others to interfere in his private affairs. He has a bad temper, and sometimes I can't control him."
Ye Lan almost said "You've crossed the line".
Hua Ci could understand the meaning behind her words. After realizing what Ye Lan meant, her mind went blank. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into: "Yes, I'm sorry."
Ye Lan probably heard something and reminded her in an ambiguous way: "Nian Nian is someone that even the old man likes very much. I like her too. She will be the mistress of the next generation of our Ye family in the future. She is younger than you, so you should give in to her."
