2449 The Person Who Asked Her Out Is Not Here Yet
The next day.

Three in the afternoon.

Ye Wangchuan came out of the study and looked around the living room. He did not see anyone. Only Gu San was busy tidying up the place.

He walked over and unhurriedly asked, “Where is she?”

Gu San was holding Qin Si’s game controller and was about to put it back on the table. Turning around and seeing Master Wang, he quickly replied, “Do you mean Miss Qiao and Young Master Qin? The two of them went out to meet someone.”

Ye Wangchuan sat on the sofa and leaned back slightly. He propped up his long legs and looked tired from not sleeping well.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, he looked up at Gu San and asked in a low and hoarse voice, “They went out together?”

“Not really.”

Gu San put down Qin Si’s game controller and stood up respectfully. “Young Master Qin went out first, then Miss Qiao. They left about half an hour apart… I know what’s up with Young Master Qin. Someone called him yesterday. From his tone, it should be Miss Qiao’s friend asking him out.”

Qiao Nian’s friend?

Ye Wangchuan frowned slightly. Then, a figure appeared in his mind.

He knew who it was.

If nothing was wrong, the person Gu San was talking about was Guan Yan. She was considered a subordinate who was close to Qiao Nian.

However, from their interactions, they did not seem to have a superior-subordinate relationship. They were more like friends. This also suited Qiao Nian’s lazy personality!

“As for Miss Qiao…” Gu San thought for a moment before looking up and saying with a serious expression, “Miss Qiao only told me that she was going out. She didn’t say who she was going to meet. I think she’s going to see a friend, right? She said that she’s coming back for dinner.”

Ye Wangchuan stood up and picked up his car keys, looking like he was about to go out.

Gu San quickly took off his apron and followed. “Master Wang, where are you going? I’ll drive.”

“Mm.”

Ye Wangchuan threw the keys to him. He had a noble and elegant aura around him, making it difficult to associate with being down-to-earth. “To the mall.”

Gu San took the car keys and walked to the entrance, thoughtfully picking up the man’s jacket. Hearing this, he thought that he was going to buy something.

Unexpectedly, before he could ask, the man met his gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him with his beautiful eyes, then said very naturally, “To buy groceries.”

“She’s been too tired recently. We’ll stew chicken soup tonight.”

Gu San immediately understood who he was talking about. He drove with a sad expression after being stuffed with dog food.

…

In a restaurant in the city center.

Qiao Nian arrived at 2:40 PM.

“Miss, do you have a reservation?” a waiter politely asked.

Qiao Nian pressed her baseball cap and showed her her cell phone. “Do you recognize this number? Check if this person has made a reservation.”

“Okay.” The waiter took out a tablet and checked their reservations for the day.

In less than two minutes, he put away the tablet and respectfully made way for the girl. “Miss, please follow me.”

He led Qiao Nian to a seat by the window and then left.

Qiao Nian sat down and ordered a cup of floral tea. Then, she waited for the other party. Looking at the time, she took out her phone and started a game.

Her gaming friends were unusually quiet today. Qin Si, who was always online, was not around. Only Tang Ning was online.

Qiao Nian had just come online and had yet to turn invisible when Tang Ning sent her a team invitation.

[Miss Qiao, do you want to play a round?]
