Chapter 3493: Qin Si Is Waiting for You to Eat

Editor: Atlas Studios

Qin Si and Bo Jingxing started fighting again.

Ye Wangchuan ignored them and went upstairs to look for Qiao Nian.

“Knock, knock—”

Qiao Nian’s door was closed. He raised his hand and knocked twice.

He thought she was still sleeping, but the next second, the door was opened from the inside. He saw the girl unhurriedly make way for him to enter.

Qiao Nian was wearing homely pajamas. The furry coral velvet pajamas gave her an inexplicable sense of laziness as she returned to the computer and sat down. Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked up. “Sit.”

Ye Wangchuan grabbed a seat and asked her, “When did you get up?”

Qiao Nian was still looking at her laptop. She pulled out Ji Qing’s USB drive and placed it in the drawer before replying indifferently, “About two hours ago. I didn’t look at the time. It was about nine o’clock.”

She then searched for the counter equations she had thought of previously on the browser. The results that popped up on the webpage were unsatisfactory, and there were still not many references.

Qiao Nian gave up searching online and pushed away the mouse. Remembering there was someone else in the room, she leaned back against the swivel chair and turned to him. “Why are you here?”

Ye Wangchuan looked at her fair face and saw that she did not realize what time it was. The corners of his thin lips curled up. “Qin Si is waiting for you to eat downstairs.”

Qiao Nian looked at the time on the computer.

—13:00

One o’clock? She was a little surprised.

Qiao Nian noticed the time and rubbed her eyebrows. She restrained her world-weary aura and said, “I’ll change my clothes and go down.”

Logically speaking, Ye Wangchuan should go out so that Qiao Nian could change her clothes.

Unexpectedly, he was still sitting by the bed.

Qiao Nian’s temples throbbed. She didn’t understand why he didn’t leave. Could it be that he wanted to see her change her clothes?

Soon, Ye Wangchuan dispelled her thoughts.

His eyes, as deep as the sea, held her in place. “I heard you’re representing the Ji family in this year’s treasure hunt held at Mingshui Mansion.”

He placed his hands on the bed and sank, looking lazy and unrestrained. “Goddess Qiao, aren’t you going to explain yourself?”

He was still smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

No matter how slow Qiao Nian was, she could tell he was unhappy. She subconsciously removed her hand from her temple and opened her mouth.

“I…”

Ye Wangchuan stared at her narrowly. “Goddess Qiao is used to being alone. It’s not your fault that you don’t have the habit of discussing with others.”

Qiao Nian was speechless.

Why did she feel that although he said he did not blame her, it sounded like it?

However, Ye Wangchuan mentioning this matter made her realize that she had been too rash when she made the decision back then. At the very least, she should have informed him.

“I’ll remember to tell you next time.”

Qiao Nian admitted her mistake with a good attitude.

It was just barely good.

Ye Wangchuan narrowed his eyes but did not say anything. “Do you know how many eyes are watching this treasure hunt?”

Qiao Nian did not deny. “I know.”

Ye Wangchuan kept looking at her. “Then do you know that they will definitely take this opportunity to eliminate you, their biggest obstacle?”

Qiao Nian had already considered this.

Her black eyelashes rose, highlighting her overly young face, unable to hide her unruliness and her unrestrained gaze. “I know.”

She continued, “Many people want me to meet with an accident, but not many people really dare to make a move. The Ji family needs a victory to stabilize the hearts of the people. They can’t find a more suitable person, and only I can save the situation. This can’t be helped…”
