After Qiao Nian returned, she sat in the corner of the sofa and played with her cell phone as if sending someone a message.
âSister Qiao, do you think the Zhou family will cause trouble again?â Qin Si did not even hear her speak.
She had been playing with her cell phone with her head lowered all this time. The white light from the phone screen shone on her black eyelashes, making her skin look fairer.
Qin Si rambled on for a long time, but Qiao Nian did not reply.
He looked at her and saw her leaning against the sofa with her legs crossed, surrounded by a cynical aura, as if she had not heard him.
A little sad, he couldnât help but shout, âSister Qiao, did you hear what I said?â
Qiao Nian had just replied to Ji Nanâs message and barely found the pocket of time. She glanced at him with clear eyes and casually said, âOh. What are you talking about?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
ââ¦â
She put down her cell phone and was quite polite. âI didnât hear you. Why donât you repeat it?â
ââ¦â
She did not listen at all!
Qin Si didnât even have the strength to be angry anymore. He waved his hand and weakly said, âIâm fine.â
Qiao Nian looked at him seriously.
Qin Si looked like he had nothing to say. She took it he was really fine. Humming, she looked down at Ji Nanâs message.
[J: Iâm not sure either.]
[J: I havenât seen him since he came back.]
Qiao Nian quickly scanned the message before frowning slightly. Her expression became serious. Then, she stood up and walked towards the staircase.
âYou canât call here? Thereâs no signal? Thatâs impossible.â Qin Si looked at her in surprise and did not forget to look at the signal on his cell phone.
Sure enough.
The bar was full.
Qiao Nian pressed her slender fingers between her eyebrows and didnât explain herself. She only said, âIâll ask about the independent continent first before letting you know.â
Fiddling with his cell phone, Qin Sin immediately understood after her explanation.
Hence, he tactfully said, âAlright, go ahead.â
Qiao Nian went upstairs to call Ji Nan.
â¦
In the kitchen.
Gu San had just made a pot of tea. He brought it to the living room to see Qin Si alone.
He bent down to put the tea set on the coffee table before curiously asking, âMaster Wang went to the study to report the results of the second hearing to the Old Master. Whereâs Miss Qiao? Why isnât she here?â
Qin Si sighed faintly and pouted towards the second floor. âSheâs also on the phone.â
Gu San placed a cup of tea in front of him, his face full of curiosity. However, although curious, he restrained himself from asking.
Qin Si was someone who couldnât hold it in. In addition, Gu San was one of them, to begin with, so he did not have any scruples when he spoke.
âAbout the independent continent.â
âIndependent continent?â
Gu San was slightly surprised.
Could it be that something had happened in the independent continent again?
Qin Si had been to the independent continent a few times, but he didnât have any power there. He didnât know much about the independent continent, only some knowledge.
His handsome face wasnât as cheeky as usual. Instead, it was serious and dignified as he picked up the teacup that Gu San prepared for him. He looked at the tea leaves floating on the surface before saying, âIâm afraid that old witch canât sit still anymore.â
Gu San was stunned before realizing the identity of the âold witchâ. He immediately lowered his eyes and stopped listening.
