When she came downstairs, she ran into the man working in the living room.
Qiao Nian walked over and saw the notebook on his knees. The dim light from the screen reflected on the handsome face that was carved with superb craftsmanship, making it look imposing and heroic.
She took a glass of water, walked over again, and took a sip of water, as if she understood his thoughts: "Did you arrange for Si Xue to be taken away by the police?"
When Ye Wangchuan raised his eyes, he met Qiao Nian's dark eyes, which saw through his layers of appearance and into his heart, leaving him without the slightest resistance.
"yes."
Ye Wangchuan bent his slender fingers and tapped lightly on the laptop keyboard. He tilted his head back a little, and from Qiao Nian's perspective, she could just see his protruding Adam's apple, which was sexy and alluring.
Qiao Nian couldn't help but pause his gaze, which stayed at his Adam's apple for a second.
Ye Wangchuan seemed to have caught the change in her gaze in that one second. He raised the corner of his lips and inadvertently turned his face to the side so that she could see more clearly.
In a lazy and casual tone, he said, "Since the old man won't let you do it, why don't I do it? This way he won't have anything to say."
Sure enough, Qiao Nian's gaze lingered on his neck for a few seconds before he looked away, drank a sip of water, and coughed dryly to cover up his momentary distraction.
"Then you are not having an unpleasant quarrel with...Grandpa Ye and you...her."
They both knew who the 'she' Qiao Nian was referring to.
Ye Wangchuan's expression didn't change, as if he was talking about an irrelevant person: "What she thinks has nothing to do with me. As for Grandpa...he will figure it out."
The old man was just worried that he would have no relatives except Aunt Lan in the future because of his age.
That's why I wanted to help him build a bridge with the island and promote reconciliation between the two sides. Even if they can't reconcile, at least they won't become enemies.
The older generation attaches great importance to kinship. Even if there are conflicts between relatives, in their eyes, they should be repaired if possible, and they rarely try to dissuade them from recognizing each other.
But Ye Wangchuan has never been a person who obeys discipline since he was young, otherwise he would not have been thrown into the compound by Ye Maoshan and trained desperately when he was a teenager.
It was because he showed an overly rebellious, unruly and uncompromising side to the world when he was a teenager that Ye Maoshan was afraid that he would go further and further astray and end up on a path of no return.
Ye Wangchuan looked at Qiao Nian, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, which was enough to melt the snow on the mountain top and bring spring back to all things.
He hooked the girl's fingers and played with them, and his tone became a little softer: "Don't worry about others, just look at me."
Qiao Nian felt a tingling sensation in the palm of her hand as if it had been electrocuted. She turned away awkwardly and said, "I didn't look at anyone else."
"Tsk." Ye Wangchuan didn't tell her about the super topic, and Wen Ziyu also used his connections to help Qiao Nian. He didn't want to help his love rival. His eyes were deep and sinister: "Well, it's enough for Qiao Shen to look at me."
Qiao Nian's eyelids twitched twice, and he was about to speak.
Ye Wangchuan let go of her hand and said sternly, "Wait a minute, some people can no longer hide their true colors. It's a good time to teach her a lesson, so that she won't come to our house with the same excuse next time."
The old man wouldn't suddenly come to Qiao Nian to tell her about Si Xue. It was obvious that someone had come to the house and said something to the old man that shook him.
He asked the old butler and already knew who came to his house and said something he shouldn't have said.
"It's not a good thing to stretch your hands too far. She'll learn that."

at the same time.
Elena also received news from the special assistant.
"You said she was taken away by the police?"
Elena stood up from the sofa, startling the beautician who was doing her facial beauty treatment. The beautician was startled and did not dare to remind her that she was applying the mask and could not move around, so she carefully reduced her presence. (End of this chapter)
