Li Yinian wanted to get up after saying that.
However, Qiao Yanzeâs arm didnât move at all.
Li Yinian frowned and said, âQiao Yanze, have you really decided? Arenât you going to reconsider?â
He raised an eyebrow and said, âYou know, I wonât change my mind once Iâve made up my mind.â
Li Yinian knew.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was because she knew that she couldnât help feeling warm.
But so what? There were some things that none of them could change.
Li Yinian suddenly felt bitter.
She looked down and said, âLet go of me first. Iâll ask Sister Xiu to arrange another guest room for me.â
The man said coldly, âThereâs no need to go through so much trouble. Sleep here.â
âNo...â
âI wonât touch you,â Qiao Yanze interrupted. âDonât trouble the host since you came here unannounced.â
Li Yinian bit her lips and put her hand on his chest. âLet go. Iâll take a shower.â
Qiao Yanze smiled, retracted his arm and put it behind his head, staring at her back.
This wasnât the first time Li Yinian had stayed in Qianfan Villa, so she knew where the guest rooms were. She found a clean bathrobe and pajamas, and carried them into the bathroom.
However, her eyes dimmed the moment she left Qiao Yanzeâs sight.
She saw a pale and dazed face in the mirror as she walked past the sink.
âYouâll kill him.â
She suddenly closed her eyes as those words surfaced in her mind.
Qiao Yanze was in a good mood in the bedroom.
Thus, he still sounded happy when he picked up the phone.
It was from Madam Qiao.
âWhat happened that made you so happy?â Madam Qiao couldnât help being curious after hearing the joy in his voice.
âOf course Iâm happy that you took the time to call me.â Qiao Yanze chuckled.
âCome on, I donât know you yet.â Madam Qiao humphed coldly. âLeave your sweet nothings to your girlfriend.â âWhat are you talking about? None of them can compare to you in my heart.â He was also very familiar with coaxing his mother.
Madam Qiao knew that he was trying to make her happy, but she still enjoyed it. She humphed and said, âDonât talk nonsense with me. Iâm talking to you about serious matters. Your brother and the others have been busy recently. What about you? Youâre always absent from the company. Things at Huayao arenât that busy, right?â
âBrother and the others are in charge of the company anyway. Itâs none of my business,â Qiao Yanze said.
Madam Qiao paused. âHave you thought it through, Yanze?â
âYouâve always known my attitude,â Qiao Yanze said slowly.
Madam Qiao sighed and said, âI gave birth to all four of you, and I love each and every one of you, so I canât side with any one of you. But... let me tell you something. Your father thought highly of you. He has seen what youâve done these past few years.â
As the wife of a rich family in Yang City, Madam Qiao had always been an enviable existence. Qiao Fengnian respected her, and the kids were considered filial. The only thing that troubled her was the relationship between the kids. Perhaps it was because of the education they had received since they were young. Other than Qiao Yanze, who was a bit lazy, the other three were often fighting each other, and they didnât have any siblingsâ love to speak of.
