2448 Coincidentally, The Meeting Is At Three in the Afternoon Tomorrow
Qiao Nian looked at him with her dark eyes. After a long time, she lowered her hand and said, “I understand. But I still have to investigate. She gave me my life. I have to give her an explanation.”
Ye Wangchuan stopped talking. He already understood what Qiao Nian meant. “Then you can only follow this ‘small fish’ to the fish pond.”
Qiao Nian shrugged. She had no objection.
She had already thought it through. If the reclusive families were related to her mother’s death, not only would she have to find the ‘fish pond’ through Yu Qingliu, but she would probably blow up this old fish pond!
Her cell phone lit up on the table.
She received a message from an unknown number.
[Qiao Nian, shall we meet? Let’s meet at the Western cafeteria across the road from the research institute at three in the afternoon. I’ll book a private room and wait for you.]
She was about to pick up her phone to see who it was from.
Suddenly, a warm aura approached, trapping her in the chair and making her unable to move. Qiao Nian looked up and saw Ye Wangchuan’s magnified handsome face.
“God Qiao, we’re done talking.”
“Can you show me your wound now?”
His eyes burned, and his arms were like iron hoops trapping her in his arms. His expression was no longer lazy. He looked like a lion that had just woken up.
She felt his hot breath above her head through his breathing.
Qiao Nian tensed up.
At this moment, the cell phone on the table lit up again.
From the corner of her eye, she saw that it was still the unfamiliar number from before. It was still the same matter-of-fact invitation tone: [If you don’t answer, I’ll treat it as you agreed.]
[See you tomorrow at three in the afternoon.]
Qiao Nian was a little distracted. She still didn’t know who it was.
Ye Wangchuan pulled her back to her senses and gently smiled. “Oh, you’re still distracted? It seems like I’m… not charming enough.”
Qiao Nian felt a heat wave approach her.
Her lips were gently covered by someone.
…
Outside.
“Sister Qiao…” Before he could finish speaking, Qin Si’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost and he quickly fled.
When Gu San saw him fleeing downstairs, he put down what he was busy with and straightened his back. He asked him in a strange tone, “Young Master Qin, what are you doing?”
Looking like he had seen a ghost, Qin Si did not say anything.
Gu San asked again, “Didn’t you go look for Miss Qiao? Is Miss Qiao taking a shower?”
Qin Si looked suffocated, but he did not dare to explain himself. He only shook his head. “Don’t ask. We’re all single. Is there a point in asking this?”
“Uh…” Gu San wanted to say that this had nothing to do with being single.
Even if he was not single, he did not dare to snatch Miss Qiao from Master Wang.
Qin Si ignored him. Depressed, he wondered why he was so unlucky to always catch their public display of affection.
As he was thinking about it, a call came in.
Qin Si immediately perked up. He picked it up and walked toward his room. “Hello? Tomorrow? I’m free. What time?”
“Three in the afternoon?” Qin Si closed the door.
The person on the other end of the call was asking him if he was free. It was as if he was saying, “If you’re not free, forget it. I’ll look for someone else.”
Qin Si beat her to it. “Three in the afternoon. I’m free. Where should we meet?”
Guan Yan gave him an address.
Qin Si happily wrote down the appointment time and location. “Then, it’s settled. I’ll look for you tomorrow.”
