She had heard before, when she still stayed in the Qiao Residence, that Qiao Sinianâs mother hated the entertainment circle.
But regardless of that, she didnât have an issue with money.
âI donât know, Iâll go and see,â Ye Jiaqi replied to You Pianran.
âMhmm, go and check it out. Maybe itâs a handsome guy. Since you havenât lost your job, then you should invite me to dinner tonight,â You Pianran said whilst winking.
âOkay, see you at the first-rate seafood restaurant at night!â
âOkay! Iâll wait for you there. Iâll give you a surprise.â
âSurprise? Or a frightâ¦â
You Pianran snorted a little before she pushed her lightly, âHurry up and go to work. Donât let them wait.â
âOkay, weâve agreed. Iâll treat you to dinner tonight.â
Ye Jiaqi was much happier. She didnât think too much and hurried outside the airport.
This place was a little far from work so she needed to hurry up.
As soon as Ye Jiaqi left, Qiao Sinianâs phone rang.
âDaddy, why havenât you come back yet? Iâm almost full.â Qiao Chengfanâs crisp little voice came through the phone.
âOnce youâre finished eating, get housekeeper Sun to take you back to the Qiao Residence.â
âDaddy, are you upset? Who are you upset with?â Qiao Chengfan could hear that his dadâs tone wasnât quite right.
His dad may be sly and didnât show his feelings easily, but as his son, he could realize it.
âIt has nothing to do with you. Go and eat!â
âHow does it not relate to me? If daddy is upset, Iâll be sad too.â
ââ¦â
Qiao Sinianâs anger seemed to disappear a little.
Who did this little guy learn from?
âDaddy, Iâve left you some delicious buns. Come and eat them. If you donât eat them, Iâll feed them to Riceball.â
âDaddy will come back soon.â
âOkay, Iâll wait for you.â
The little boy held the phone and told Qiao Sinian âLove you.â Qiao Sinian furrowed his brows and hung up the phone.
This little boy, talked a lot.
The ground remained a mess.
As Qiao Sinian was about to get back up, the sound of high heels came back.
âBrother-in-law,â Fang Lan said as she leaned against the door frame. Both her arms were folded and there was slight dissatisfaction in her eyes.
She had changed her clothes and now was wearing a red silk shirt.
âBrother-in-law, did you let Ye Jiaqi go just like that? Are you supporting her more or supporting me more?â
Fang Lan was unwilling to forgive the situation. She wanted a clear answer.
Qiao Sinianâs eyes fell on her face for a cold stare. After a while, he slowly began to speak.
âI watched Ye Jiaqi grow up. Fang Lan, as long as I stay in Beijing for a day, no one will bother her.â
âThen what am I? If she is to bully me, am I just meant to let her bully me?â
Fang Lan was very angry. It was obvious that Qiao Sinian was helping Ye Jiaqi.
She was just picked up from the streets. Did he really think of her as a sister?
âCan you even get bullied by someone?â Qiao Sinian asked back.
Fang Lan froze for a moment. She wasnât able to immediately retort back.
After he said that, Qiao Sinian walked towards the door.
âBrother-in-law, are you going back to England?â Fang Lan asked as she chased after him.
âItâs my business, you donât need to know.â
âBrother-in-law!â
Regardless of how much Fang Lan shouted, Qiao Sinian didnât look back.
Regarding Qiao Sinianâs attitude, Fang Lan didnât understand at all. She couldnât read him.
As soon as Qiao Sinian left the airport, he went to the teahouse. Today was the first day that Qiao Chengfan came to China.
He needed to accompany his son for breakfast.
The teahouse was very close to the airport. Qiao Sinian got there rather quickly.
Qiao Chengfan was holding the last bun and about to take a bite into it. When he saw Qiao Sinian coming, he quickly put it down.
âDaddy, you came! I left the bun especially for you.â
âIf you want to eat it, then eat it,â Qiao Sinian said as he glanced at his son.
What did he mean by left the buns for him? It seemed like he was about to eat it and then stopped eating when he came in.
âDaddy, you worked hard. You eat it.â Qiao Chengfan sat down obediently.
