1798 You Said It Yourself, Iâm Still Young!
Qiao Nian was still wondering if the person he was talking about was Ji Ziyin. Then, she registered what he said at the end. Her mind froze for a moment, but she immediately returned to normal. She said without thinking, âWhat time in the afternoon? Iâll pick you up at the airport.â
âOh.â He chuckled and suddenly felt extremely good. He looked at her again, his gaze deep. âDid you miss me?â
Qiao Nian was speechless.
He wasnât in a hurry. He would wait for her to think about it slowly.
Frustrated, Qiao Nian sat up, picked up her phone, and went to retrieve the cup. After another half a second of silence, she replied, âI can manage.â
âYou can manage?â
Qiao Nian sat down again and looked at him. Her eyes were filled with the desire to win, lazy and cool. There was also a seductiveness that she didnât notice. âWell, itâs just so-so.â
His Adamâs apple bobbed, and his eyes gradually deepened. He almost asked Gu San to arrange for a plane to fly back immediately.
However, he still had some work to do. No matter how fast he was, it would still take a day.
He wasnât a young man anymore, but his heart still burned when he looked at the girl on the screen. His heart beat uncontrollably like a dense drumbeat, making him unable to control his emotions. âNian Nian.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes?â
Qiao Nian glanced at him and nodded. Then, she heard the manâs low and murmuring voice. ââ¦I miss you. What should I do?â
What should I do?
Qiao Nian had never dealt with such a situation before. Her eardrums were burning, and she felt her body heat up. She didnât know why she was feeling so hot. Then, she looked at the person on the screen. The manâs eyes were thin, like a vast smoke wave, or like a tall mountain. For a moment, she didnât know how to answer.
Her throat felt a little dry.
She pretended to take a sip of water, but she felt that she was not thirsty. The heat did not abate even after she drank more than half of the cup.
She simply coughed and put on a serious expression. âYou said it yourself. Iâm still young!â
She had told him about this in the Independent Continent.
She remembered clearly that a certain someone kept saying that she was still young and had to wait a little longer.
Telling her this now?
It wasnât appropriate!
It wasnât like she didnât give him a chance back then.
There was nothing he could do if he wanted to be a gentleman.
âYou take responsibility for what you say.â
He was just saying it. He didnât expect Qiao Nian to bring this up. He had thought about waiting another year, but now he regretted it a little.
He thought of that damned âgood friendâ label from before. Back then, it was also because of that label that he had to take many detours.
Qiao Nianâs mood improved a lot after her words silenced him. Her brows relaxed and she saw a message pop up on her phone from the corner of her eye. She asked, âWhat time is your flight the day after tomorrow? Iâll go pick you up.â
âThree oâclock in the afternoon.â
It would take some time to fly to the capital from the Independent Continent. He had already chosen the fastest flight back.
âGot it.â Qiao Nian didnât waste any more time talking to him. She hung up the video call.
Then, she picked up her phone and casually scrolled through the message she had seen earlier.
The message was from an unknown number in Jing City.
[Miss Qiao, Iâm He Congming. I was presumptuous the last time we met. I wonder if you have time to meet me tomorrow. You can decide on the time and place. I wonder if itâs convenient for you?]
Qiao Nian only glanced at it with a cold expression. Without replying, she deleted the message and blacklisted the number.
The entire process was done in one go!
Without any hesitation!
