Qiao Chen's thoughts were suddenly pulled back. She came to her senses, touched Wei Ling's eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "I saw someone I know."
"who?"
Qiao Chen's eyes flickered, and it took a long time before she said, "Qiao Nian."
"?"
"I seemed to see her entering the Imperial Mansion with a man." Qiao Chen put her hand on the car door and looked up. The manager and the man and woman who had just got off the car had already entered. She couldn't see their figures at all. She hesitated for a moment and added in a low voice: "I don't know if I saw it wrong..."
"You must have seen it wrong!" As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Ling interrupted her nonchalantly: "I think you have been too busy recently and are hallucinating. Qiao Nian would never appear in such an occasion. I told you that the people who booked the Yu Mansion today must be rich or noble. How could she know these people? Get in the car quickly, Master Steven is still waiting for us, don't waste time!"
"..." Qiao pursed her lips, and finally raised her eyes to look in the direction of the Yu Mansion, then retracted her gaze and said softly, "That's right."
She didn't think any more, got in the car and closed the door.

Inside the Imperial Palace.
The manager led the two of them lightly through the long corridor, stopped outside a private room, and said softly, "Master Wang, Mr. Ye and the others are already inside."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go in by myself, you go ahead and do your work." Ye Wangchuan has outstanding eyebrows and eyes, and he looks even more outstanding today. He is in a good mood.
"OK."
Before leaving, the manager secretly glanced in the direction of Qiao Nian, then quickly looked away, as if afraid of being discovered. He slipped away very quickly and disappeared in a flash.
Qiao Nian was originally playing with his phone, but the look he just saw was quite obvious.
After Qiao Nian replied to the message, he raised his eyes, put his phone back in his pocket in annoyance, and whispered to the man beside him: "Have your grandfather and the others arrived?"
"Seems to be."
"Then let's go in."
"Wait a moment." Ye Wangchuan naturally pulled her, lowered his head, raised his hand, and brushed the loose hair hanging down from her forehead. His eyes were as gentle as the stars that could drown people in them: "Your hair is a little messy, I'll help you brush it out."
His fingertips were a little rough, and his fingertips touched the girl's fair forehead, either intentionally or accidentally, for just a moment, then moved away like a dragonfly skimming the water.
No resistance.
There was no frown this time.
Ye Wangchuan raised his thin lips, feeling happier. He lowered his arms to his sides, looking lazy and casual. "We're about to go in. Are you nervous?"
"Hmm?" Qiao Nian didn't notice his little movements. It could also be that he had been making little movements recently. She was used to it and didn't find anything wrong. Instead, she was quite interested in the question he asked. She raised her eyelids and asked wildly, "Why should I be nervous?"
Ye Wangchuan: …
Seeing that he was speechless after being asked back by her, Qiao Nian walked ahead with a wicked look in her eyes and said lazily, "Didn't you say that you are there for everything?"
"Now that you're here, I don't seem to need to be nervous."
The girl's voice was slightly hoarse, and it was obvious that she was teasing him. However, Ye Wangchuan's heart softened for no reason, and he helped her open the door and whispered, "That's right."
Qiao Nian only felt his breath brushing her earlobe, and before she could recover from his "yes", she was already meeting several pairs of eyes in the box.
Ye Qichen reacted the fastest. He noticed the person at the door first, dropped his chopsticks immediately, and shouted with excitement, his face flushed: "Sister!"
