In the car.
Qiao Nian pulled out her cell phone the moment she got into the car and started typing away, seeming to be very focused on chatting with someone.
Ye Wangchuan had one hand on the steering wheel while the other arm rested by the window. He appeared carefree, unlike his domineering presence just now. He asked the girl beside him, “Where are we going later?”
Qiao Nian had just replied to Liang Bowen’s messages and looked up upon hearing his question. She thought for a moment before saying, “Home. I want to check on something.”
She had gone to the hospital to visit Uncle Chen in the morning. Uncle Chen’s legs weren’t in good condition, and she had spoken to the specialist about it. The specialist said that Uncle Chen had been bedridden all this time, and his bones were starting to degenerate. If this went on, it would be impossible for Uncle Chen to undergo surgery in the future even if technology was sufficiently advanced by then.
She had looked through the information about muscle and bone degeneration from being bedridden long-term. Uncle Chen’s situation was rather complicated, so many case studies that she had found were not actually applicable.
Qiao Nian wanted to look for other similar cases online.
“Mm.” Ye Wangchuan singlehandedly reversed the car. The Phaeton was rather spacious on the inside, and he saw that Qiao Nian was not wearing very thick clothing today. It was cold out, and she was only in a simple hoodie and a cap. She didn’t look cold, but she was curled up slightly, so he was unsure if she was.
He raised a brow and retracted his arm resting by the window, rolling the window back up. Then, he discreetly turned on the air-conditioning.
This car model of Jiang Li’s was specially modified by a 4S store. Everything in the car was of the best and latest edition.
Even the air-conditioning!
The air was warm and comfortable, not the least bit stuffy.
Qiao Nian initially had not noticed his little gestures. But all of a sudden, she realized that her neck wasn’t feeling as cold anymore, and when she looked up, she saw that the window had been rolled up. She pursed her lips and did not say a word, but deep down she felt something.
Suddenly.
The cell phone that he’d placed by the side rang.
Qiao Nian saw that he was driving and held the cell phone up to see who was calling. She handed it to him and said, “Gu San’s call, are you picking it up?”
Ye Wangchuan didn’t reach out to get it, and instead naturally said, “I’m driving, help me get it.”
Qiao Nian furrowed her brows subconsciously. She saw that his right hand was obviously free. Anyway, she turned the car Bluetooth on and picked up the call.
“Hello, Master Wang!” Gu San’s energetic voice reverberated in the car.
The Bluetooth speaker in the car was rather loud, and with Gu San’s energy-packed voice, it sounded even louder.
She reached out to lower the volume before going back to using her cell phone.
“Hello? Master Wang? Why’s there no sound? Hey, did it not get through?”
She was looking down on her phone, but she could hear the background noise from the other end and Gu San’s confused questioning every once in a while.
“This is strange, it’s through. Why is there no sound?”
“Hey, Master Wang, can you hear me?” After talking to himself for a bit, he spoke into the cell phone again.
Ye Wangchuan was looking straight at the road ahead. He was driving while listening to Gu San revealing his IQ through all that he was saying. Ye Wangchuan didn’t really want to respond to him, but he was afraid that he would continue showing Qiao Nian how silly he was. Hence, he eventually replied, “I hear you. Speak.”
“Master Wang, you heard me. Why didn’t you make a sound?” Gu San immediately asked. He sounded slightly despondent.
Ye Wangchuan was speechless.
Because you never gave me a chance to speak!
Gu San wasn’t really asking for his actual answer though.. He thought about the news he had just received and excitedly said before Ye Wangchuan had a chance to respond, “I just received news that they’ve managed to check that batch of goods. They got the sea customs to stop it for now!”
