Out of Qin Si's consideration, Qiao Nian would not ignore his reply, but she had nothing to say to him. She only replied with two simple words out of courtesy to her elders.
[QN: First, Guan Yan is my friend, she doesn’t need to be compared with anyone. Second, Uncle Qin doesn’t need to apologize to me, I am not the person involved, and I cannot forgive anyone on her behalf.]
Qin Lang never looked for her again after that.
Qiao Nian pretended that Qin Lang had never contacted her and threw her phone aside, not wanting to dwell on this issue any more.
After all, this matter was Guan Yan's private matter, just as she said in her reply to Qin Lang's text message.
No matter how good her relationship with Guan Yan is, it doesn't mean she has to interfere in Guan Yan's love life.
But the Qin family’s actions this time really made her feel disheartened.
If Qin Si can't settle his family affairs, he doesn't deserve to be with Guan Yan.
Ye Wangchuan caught a glimpse of her slightly furrowed brows. Even though he didn't see who she had replied to, he said gently, "Don't think about it. Have a good sleep."
Qiao Nian moved his chair back, leaned back on it, pulled his baseball cap down to cover his eyes, and began to sleep with his eyes closed.

It was almost noon.
Everyone at the observatory seemed to have regarded Guan Yan as the core figure of this restoration operation; even He Yuan and others were surrounding her.
He Jia followed Guan Yan closely, and even wanted to accompany him to the toilet, and she raced against time to learn more practical knowledge from Guan Yan.
Bo Jingxing knocked on the door and entered the command room from outside. He brought two large bags of takeout, placed them on the simple table, and invited the still busy people to eat.
"I asked the restaurant to cook a few dishes. Everyone please stop what you are doing and come over to eat."
Guan Yan was the first one to stretch his legs, pry open the swivel chair, stretch his waist, stand up and walk towards the table.
She asked the man familiarly, "What dishes do you have?"
Bo Jingxing handed over one of the lunch boxes: "For the others, it's lunch. I prepared steak and Waldorf salad for you."
Guan Yan took his lunch from him, raised his eyebrows and looked at him, his peach blossom eyes a little surprised: "How do you know I like salty and sweet tastes?" Waldorf salad originated from the Astoria Hotel. The main ingredients include romaine lettuce, celery, apples, walnuts and mayonnaise. It tastes salty and sweet and is a classic American salad.
She is different from sun.
She is used to the taste of the illegal area, which mainly serves French and Western food, and she doesn't like stir-fried dishes very much.
While distributing lunch to others, Bo Jingxing replied calmly, "When I ordered the food, I called Miss Qiao to ask about your preferences and what you don't eat."
"Wow." Guan Yan found a seat and sat down. As he opened the lunch box, he raised the corners of his lips and looked like Ruchen was about to tease him.
Her cell phone on the table lit up again.
Guan Yan caught a glimpse of the incoming call from the corner of his eye, and his good mood disappeared. He picked up the phone, stood up and walked to the side: "I'm going to answer the call."
Bo Jingxing was not so stupid as to not recognize Qin Si's phone number. He made a "please" gesture very gentlemanly and made way without asking any unnecessary questions.
…
Outside.
Guan Yan picked it up.
"Hello."
"Are you in the country?" Qin Si asked impatiently.
Guan Yan frowned: "What's the matter?"
Qin Si felt inexplicably sad and called her name: "Guan Yan... I hope you can stand by me at least at this time."
She said in a cold tone: "So you are dissatisfied with my attitude, and think that I didn't stand by you and think about you because I didn't go with you to please your parents?"
Qin Si said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant."
