Zhou's mother thought she really admired Qiao Nian for saying this, and she touched her head with a smile: "Okay, I'll ask for you."
…
Wait for Ye Wangchuan and Qiao Nian to come over.
As expected, Zhou's mother found an opportunity to speak.
"It's like this... Jiaqi wants to live with Qiao Nian." She rephrased the reason given by Dai Jiaqi in a more tactful way, and then looked at the girl expectantly.
Who knew that Qiao Nian just raised her eyelids slightly, and before she could say anything, someone refused for her.
"She doesn't like living with people."
He was so direct that it was a bit impolite.
Zhou's mother immediately looked embarrassed, and was a little awkward and couldn't find the way down.
“Is that so?”
Old Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou both looked at her in confusion, as if she had done something particularly impolite.
In fact, her behavior was quite rude.
The status of the Ye family is unquestionable.
It is no exaggeration to say that the gap between Ye Wangchuan and them is a chasm. As Ye Wangchuan's fiancée, Qiao Nian is someone that even Old Ye recognizes.
When Zhou's mother said this, she really took herself too seriously and acted like an elder.
If Zhou Xuxing hadn't gotten into trouble, the Zhou family would never have come into contact with Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan. Even the air tickets and hotel arrangements for this trip to Country M were made by Ye Wangchuan behind the scenes, but she was the one arranging the accommodation for someone else's fiancée, which was a bit unclear.
Old Mrs. Zhou glanced at her daughter-in-law whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and then glanced inconspicuously at Dai Jiaqi who was hiding behind her mother.
She sighed and took the initiative to break the tense atmosphere: "Ms. Qiao, I apologize to you on her behalf. Something like this will never happen again."
Zhou's mother's face turned red and blue again, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She didn't say anything, she just asked if they could live together, why did even the old lady apologize to that person.
The girl glanced at her lightly and replied to Mrs. Zhou: "It's okay."
Old Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that if she said everything was fine, it really was fine. She immediately asked Zhou's father and Liang Conglin to go and check in.
Ye Wangchuan then hooked the girl's hand, held her hand, and raised the corner of his lips, looking sideways and whispering, "Live with me?"
"..." When Qiao Nian saw his attractive face, she didn't want to talk and didn't even bother to look at him.
Ye Wangchuan reached out and stroked the side of her face. His fingertips swept across the girl's curled eyelashes, and gently wiped the blue-gray color of her eyelids.
"I'll help you blow dry your hair when we get back."
Qiao Nian's eyelids moved, and she finally gave him a clear look: "Oh, okay." She also wanted to settle accounts with him.
Dai Jiaqi was not far away, watching the two of them talking in an embrace as if no one was around, as if no one else could get in between them. Her heart felt like it was being crushed into mud, and there was pain in every part of her.
She raised her eyes several times in pain, looking at the person so close to her, wanting to ask him to go to the side with her. She wanted to ask him if he still remembered her, and wanted to call him senior...
However, Qiao Nian's occasional glances at her were like a sharp steel knife that cut off her impulse to ignore the matter because of jealousy.
"Let's go." Ye Wangchuan picked up the girl's shoulder bag and walked past them holding her hand without looking in their direction.
Dai Jiaqi's face turned even paler and more transparent.

In the penthouse suite at the W Hotel.
The girl sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and raised her head without hesitation. She couldn't hide the restlessness in her eyes, and spoke in an unhappy tone.
"What's going on with Dai Jiaqi?"
