Chapter 3629: The Gazes of Two Men

Xie Yun belatedly saw the red blood vessels in the girl’s eyes and the fatigue under her eyelids. Feeling guilty, she hurriedly said, “Yes, Ji Nan is right. Go back and sleep. I’ll guard here. I’ll contact you if anything happens.”

“Okay.” Qiao Nian did not insist, mainly because she really was tired.

Strictly speaking, she had not slept for almost 24 hours and had relied on her endurance to hold on until now.

Xie Yun pushed Ji Nan . “Send Nian Nian off.”

Ji Nan took his car keys and walked forward. “Let’s go. I’ll send you back. My mother is watching over here. It’s fine for me to go out for a while.”

Qiao Nian lowered her voice and said, “Auntie Xie, help me tell Elder Zhong that I’ll return tomorrow.”

“Okay, don’t worry.” Xie Yun agreed.

Only now did Qiao Nian turn around to leave with one hand in her pocket.

On the way down, Ji Nan asked her about Continent M. Qiao Nian only talked about a few lighthearted things.

At the entrance, Ji Nan said, “Wait for me here. I’ll go get the car.”

A black Phaeton had been waiting outside for a long time. When they came out, it slowly drove forward and blocked their way.

The window of the driver’s seat rolled down, revealing the man’s noble side profile. Ye Wangchuan tilted his head slightly at the two of them before focusing on the girl. “Get in.”

Qiao Nian was stunned. “Why are you here?”

Then, she pulled down her baseball cap and naturally turned around to say to Ji Nan, “There’s no need to send me off. You can go back.”

As she spoke, she walked down the steps and opened the door to get into the car. Then, she fastened her seatbelt, rolled down the window, and waved at Ji Nan. “Go back.”

Ji Nan was still holding his car keys. Seeing that Qiao Nian had gotten into the car with ease and asked him to go back, he took a deep breath and looked at the person inside with a complicated gaze. “Send me a message when you get home.”

He did not have a sister before.

Ji Ziyin had never gotten along with him.

He also could not stand her pretentiousness, so they did not get along.

Ji Nan didn’t know what it was like to have a sister. In any case, at this moment, he did not feel the comfort of an old father. He only felt like someone had driven into his house and taken away their precious treasure.

However, he knew Qiao Nian’s relationship with Ye Wangchuan was much better than his. Even though he was upset, he still lowered his voice and blessed the man in the driver’s seat before the car drove away. “Take good care of her.”

Ye Wangchuan raised his eyebrows and met Ji Nan’s gaze.

Ji Nan did not back down as if he knew something. He looked at Qiao Nian’s right hand meaningfully.

Ye Wangchuan knew he had most likely realized Qiao Nian was injured. He nodded and said arrogantly and lazily, “You don’t have to tell me. I know.”

“It’s good that you know.” Ji Nan let go, indicating that they could leave. He did not want to see his precious being taken away.

Qiao Nian did not notice their exchange of glances. She rolled up the window and leaned against the seat tiredly. “I’ll sleep.”

Ye Wangchuan put a jacket over her and turned up the air conditioner. “Sleep. I’ll drive slower.”

Qiao Nian nodded slightly. Her eyelids were half-closed, and she had already fallen asleep.

…

Three days later.

Good news came from the hospital.

Ji Lingfeng was out of danger and was transferred to a VIP ward for observation. This also meant that the poison that had afflicted him was finally out of his system.
