In the car.
Qiao Nian opened the car window to let the wind in, leaned on his elbows, and tilted his head: "Tell me. Who is the person behind this?"
Ye Wangchuan closed the window: "It's cold outside, stay out of the wind, don't catch a cold."
Qiao Nian frowned and pursed her lips, but didn't say anything. She tilted her head to look at him, waiting for him to continue: "Aunt Lan told you that I'm here?"
"You have something on Nie Tao." Qiao Nian said it with certainty, without any doubt: "What's going on with that charity foundation?"
It was no secret that Fred was pursuing Ye Lan.
Fred mentioned the charity foundation as soon as he entered the door today, and he mentioned it several times. It was because he mentioned the charity foundation that Nie Tao behaved himself.
Qiao Nian didn't believe that Ye Wangchuan was not involved.
"The person behind him is... the one who is related to you by blood?"
"no."
Ye Wangchuan raised the partition to block Gu San's sneak view from the front, crossed his long legs, looked elegant and proud, and tilted his head to say to her: "Let me see where you are injured."
"Ahem." Qiao Nian's mind was full of things. Suddenly, she saw him reaching out his hand, so she coughed and dodged, mumbling, "I'm fine, just a minor injury."
Ye Wangchuan didn't force her, he just sat back, but the smile on his lips was full of meaning: "Oh, it's just a minor injury so you went to Weilou without telling me."
“…” The hairs on Qiao Nian’s back stood up. Even though she was fearless, there were times when she felt guilty and dared not look people in the eye.
She dodged the gaze that seemed to be real and coughed, "Well... I just happened to have something to do with him. It has nothing to do with being injured."
Ye Wangchuan placed his slender hands on his legs and watched her lie leisurely: "Is it okay?"
"Ahem!" Qiao Nian raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose. He raised his head helplessly, his dark eyes clear: "I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Ye Wangchuan gave her a look that said "Do you believe it?"
Qiao Nian: “…”
She was not as nervous as she is now when she was fighting with people in the illegal area, independent state, and F state. The key point is that she was still at a disadvantage and had no idea of resisting, which was rare.
What does she say about this
She had never faced this kind of situation before, and always felt that she was even more helpless than when she went to the laboratory to research a new weapon.
Especially the way Ye Wangchuan looked at her. He clearly didn't say anything, but Qiao Nian just felt guilty... It was as if she had done something behind his back and was caught red-handed.
"Wei Lou and I are just friends, pure friendship."
Ye Wangchuan did not answer but asked: "I heard that he stayed in prison for three years in Raocheng for you, and even opened a sanatorium to help you sell black market pills."
"...cooperation." Qiao Nian said weakly.
Ye Wangchuan nodded: "The Wei family has introduced him to seven or eight blind dates. It is said that this young master Wei has never met them once, and he has come up with endless ways to refuse. This time he even went to another province to avoid the blind date. His family is very troubled, but he himself has no intention of relenting. As soon as you called, he ran back to Beijing from another province."
Qiao Nian rubbed his brows: "He didn't tell me."
Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Wangchuan stopped, suddenly grabbed her hand, pulled her to his side, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Wei Lou likes you."
Qiao Nian: “?”
Her hands were clenched tightly, with her fingers intertwined so tightly that there was no gap at all, and the warmth from his palms continued to pass through her.
Even though Qiao Nian was not good at handling this kind of situation, he still gave some lightness: "I told him very clearly that I have a partner." (End of this chapter)
