After replying, Qiao Nian stood up to blow dry her hair.
Her hair was already half dry. It was dry after a light blow.
After drying her hair, Qiao Nian was a little thirsty. She walked to the desk and picked up the mug before realizing it was empty.
Her eyes were quite dry. She had just placed the mug down when she saw the phone screen light up again from the corner of her eye.
Qiao Nian leaned against the desk with her long legs crossed. She stood up casually and picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Ye Wangchuan.
âWhat do you want to eat tonight?â
Qiao Nian had just placed the mug halfway down when she saw this message. She took her phone off the charging line and walked out.

Downstairs.
After Ye Wangchuan sent Qiao Nian a message, his phone lit up again.
It was a call from Ye Lan.
It was already the third call of the day. The other party had the intention to keep calling if he didnât pick up. He rubbed his temples, his white knuckles knocking on the table. He still picked up slowly.
âHello.â
âYou brat, youâre not even picking up my calls now?!â
Ye Wangchuanâs head hurt from her loud voice. He simply took his phone away without a trace and said casually, âNo, I had something on. I didnât look at my phone.â
âI think you donât want to answer my call.â With that, Ye Lan couldnât be bothered to argue with him and went straight to the point. She asked, âWhereâs Nian Nian? Is she with you? Is she okay? Whatâs with the exposure on the Internet? Is it really about her? Who did it? Do you want my help?â
Ye Wangchuan sat up straight and leaned against the sofa. No emotions could be seen on his attractive face, but his eyes darkened. He said in a clear voice, âDonât worry about this. Iâll handle it.â
âHow do you plan to handle this?â Ye Lan spoke quickly and deeply. âGrandpa knows about this, too. He was asking me about this earlier. I donât know the inside story either and only told him that I donât know. Heâll probably call you later. Since youâve decided to handle it yourself, itâs best to comfort your grandfather first.
ââ¦The Ye family is not ordinary, after all. So many people are eyeing us in Beijing. If youâre bent on Nian Nian, you must protect her!â
Ye Wangchuanâs gaze fell on the prayer beads on his wrist and he said calmly, âI know. Donât worry about this. Iâll see to it.â
âIs Nian Nian with you?â Ye Lan did not probe further about what he planned to do. Instead, she asked worriedly, âIs she okay?â
Ye Wangchuan looked up to the second floor and pursed his lips. He didnât know whether he should answer her question.
At this moment, there was movement on the second floor. The door opened and someone seemed to come out.
He paused and immediately said to Ye Lan, âLittle Aunt, I have something on. Iâll talk to you later.â
âWhy are you in such a hurry? You havenât told me anything. Tell me about Nian Nian first. How is she? Is she okay?â
âIâll tell you later.â With that, he hung up on Ye Lan.
Gu San also noticed the commotion on the second floor. He had been standing silently at the side and seemed very down. At this moment, he suddenly stood up and lowered his voice to say to him, âMaster Wang, Miss Qiao is coming down.â
Ye Wangchuan had already put down his phone and found the WeChat message he had just sent. The last message in the WeChat dialog box was still on the line he had sent: âWhat do you want to eat tonight?â Qiao Nian had not replied to him at all.
His eyes were deep as he looked up again in the direction of the stairs.
