âI canât stay long in Rao City, and I still have some things to say to Nian Nian.â Ye Lan evidently couldnât bear to see Qiao Nian go. But seeing that Qiao Nian was really tired, she didnât insist. She sighed and said, âItâs alright, Iâll have to find another day to chat with her.â
With that, her eyes lit up, as if sheâd just thought of something. She took her cell phone out of her bag and excitedly said to Qiao Nian, âNian Nian, whatâs your cell phone number? Letâs exchange contacts. When you feel better, we can go out for tea.â
Ye Wangchuan recalled how sheâd so eagerly tried to introduce other guys to Qiao Nian just now and felt a little cautious about her question now. He stopped Ye Lan. âSheâs still a student and wonât have time to pick up your call. If youâre looking for her, you can just call me. Iâll relay the message.â
Ye Lan was rather unhappy to be stopped by him again. She pouted and eyed him suspiciously. âIâm asking Nian Nian out, why do I have to call you? Nian Nian isnât your girlfriend anyway, arenât you bothering too much? Why didnât I realize how much of a busybody you were?â
She said with emphasis, âMen whoâre too much of a busybody canât find a partner.â
She furrowed her brows and looked skeptically at this handsome man. âYou look good yourself and youâre capable. You have your own house and car as well, how have you not found a partner yet? None of the girls I matchmade you with have been successful. Could there really be something wrong with your character?â
Gu San gave her a thumbs-up in his heart.
Sheâs awesome!
The vein in Ye Wangchuanâs temple throbbed, and he could barely suppress it.
He glanced at the girl beside him and saw that she hadnât really heard what was going on. His emotions were a little complicated now. Ye Wangchuan pursed his lips, aligned his deep gaze with Ye Lanâs line of sight, and said meaningfully, âLittle Aunt, marriage is for a lifetime. I just want to be with someone Iâm sure of. Everyone else is just a waste of time.â
Ye Lan was fuming mad. She scanned him from head to toe and then said, âWell, show me what a waste of time is at least.â
Ye Wangchuan was speechless.
Gu San almost burst out laughing.
Madam was too amazing!
After rebutting her nephew, Ye Lan wasnât in the mood to talk about finding him a partner anymore. She turned around and focused her attention on Qiao Nian once again, saying warmly, âNian Nian, letâs exchange contacts, itâll be more convenient in the future. Thank you so much for helping Chen Chen out. If you wonât accept my token of appreciation, then at least leave me your number so you can look for me anytime when you need help. No matter what you need, Iâll do my best to fulfill your request.â
It was the promise of the Ye familyâs Madam. This was worth more than gold!
Just how many people in Beijing dreamt of having such a promise?
But Ye Lan already made such a huge promise the first time she met this girl.
Qiao Nian didnât know how big of a deal Ye Lanâs promise was. But seeing how sincere she looked, and on the account that she was Ye Qichenâs grandmother, she knitted her brows slightly while taking out her cell phone.
â18XXXXXX.â
A string of numbers was recited in that soft but slightly hoarse voice. It was unique and melodious to hear.
Ye Lan immediately took her number down and gave Qiao Nian a call right away.
Qiao Nianâs cell phone rang in her hand.
Ye Lan hung up and said with a smile, âThis is my personal cell phone, I bring it with me everywhere I go. Call me whenever.â
Ye Wangchuanâs eyes deepened as he squinted. He had been holding onto Qiao Nianâs hand this whole time. Now, he asked his aunt, âAre you done asking? If you are, Iâll take her away.â
Ye Lan held her back for a bit to exchange their WeChat contacts before letting her leave. âGo on, Iâll be with Chen Chen.â
