1409 Waiting for Her at the Door
“Chen Chen!”
Fu Ge and Shen Qiongzhi’s expressions changed and they ran over.
This Qiao Chen!
Madam Fu was so angry that the tips of her fingers trembled. Her birthday party was ruined.
…
The elevator reached the 16th floor and stopped automatically to open the doors.
Qiao Nian walked out of the elevator leisurely, still carrying the thermos she had brought back from Aunt Chen’s place.
The light in the hallway was slightly warm, casting a faint orange glow.
Qiao Nian walked along the carpeted corridor. Before she reached Room 1606, she saw the man leaning against her door.
She stopped in her tracks.
Ye Wangchuan heard footsteps and looked up. Seeing Qiao Nian, his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars. He said in a gentle voice, “Nian Nian.”
This time, Qiao Nian not only stopped in her tracks but also felt as if her heart had been stabbed. An inexplicable emotion rose in her heart.
Ye Wangchuan walked over and took the thermos from her as if it was natural. He smiled and asked in a low voice when he saw the silver thermos, “Aunt Chen made you soup?”
Qiao Nian had already regained her senses. Seeing that he was sizing up the thermos, she replied as she walked forward, “She was worried that I wouldn’t be able to eat well in the hotel. Before I left, she insisted on filling a portion of pork ribs soup for me to drink before I went to bed tonight.”
Initially, she did not want to go through so much trouble, but Aunt Chen insisted that she take it. She said that if she drank more bone soup, her injured hand would recover faster.
Ye Wangchuan followed behind her casually. Seeing that the girl had found the room card and opened the door, he followed her in and smiled softly. “Aunt Chen is also concerned about you.”
Qiao Nian threw the room card on the cabinet table after she entered. She didn’t say anything and pressed the button. “I know.”
So, she eventually carried the thermos back to the hotel.
Qiao Nian was also staying in a suite. The room was spacious and well-lit. Overall, it felt pretty good.
Next, she walked straight to the refrigerator, opened it, took out a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to him. Then, she took a bottle of water for herself, glanced at the man who followed her in, and said, “Where’s Qin Si and the others? Why don’t I see them?”
Ye Wangchuan placed the thermos on the dining room table and took the mineral water from her. The cold water reduced the moist heat in his palm.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the girl. “They came to look for you when they arrived, but they went out to eat when they realized you weren’t here.”
“To eat?” Qiao Nian couldn’t unscrew the cap with one hand and stared at the mineral water in frustration. She still wasn’t used to not being able to use one hand. “You didn’t go with them?”
“I’m not hungry.”
Ye Wangchuan saw it and snatched the mineral water from her, then handed it back to her after unscrewing the cap.
Qiao Nian took the water from his hand and said politely, “Thank you.”
She tipped her head back and was just about to take a sip of water.
Ye Wangchuan suddenly asked in a sexy, low voice, “Do you know Jian Jin?”
“Ahem!”
Qiao Nian choked on a mouthful of water and coughed violently.
“Drink slowly.” Ye Wangchuan had only wanted to ask her, but he didn’t expect her to have such a big reaction. His expression changed and he immediately walked over. He patted her back to calm her down, his actions very gentle.
Qiao Nian managed to catch her breath, but she had a headache. She stopped drinking, put her hand down, and looked at the man calmly. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
