2121 Sister Nian Agreed
Ye Wangchuan smiled and started the car again. He turned the car around and drove towards the city center. âThen, letâs eat at home. Iâll go to the supermarket to buy some groceries.â
âMm.â
Qiao Nian agreed.
Ye Wangchuan drove steadily.
Qiao Nian took out the old photo Xie Tingyun gave her and looked at it for a while.
A young Xie Tingyun was beside Ji Qing. Obviously, they had a good relationship.
Qiao Nian looked at the photo for a while before putting it away. Then, she pursed her lips and suddenly said, âAunt Xie wants to acknowledge me as her goddaughter.â
From the moment she took out the photo, Ye Wangchuan had already glanced at it and recognized the people pictured.
He just didnât interrupt the girlâs thoughts.
It wasnât until Qiao Nian mentioned it to him that he asked, âWhat do you think?â
Qiao Nian retracted her hand from outside. Her eyes were clear and outstanding, and her voice wasnât loud. âShe most likely knows my background. Sheâs afraid that Iâll be too reckless, so she thought of acknowledging me as her goddaughter to give me another guarantee.â
Actually, Xie Tingyun didnât have to do this.
Qiao Nian knew very well what she had done and knew very well that the Ji family couldnât do anything to her.
What she couldnât reject wasnât Xie Tingyunâs âguaranteeâ, but the sincerity of an elder who cared about her.
Ye Wangchuan knew her well, so he didnât say anything and let Qiao Nian make her own decision.
âIâll probably accept.â
Qiao Nian had already made up her mind. She was just not used to this feeling of being too tied down.
In the past, when nothing was holding her back, she seemed to be more carefree.
Now, many people needed her protection and care. Although she wasnât as free and easy as before, her heart seemed to be more fulfilled.
She wasnât that empty anymore.
Qiao Nianâs brows relaxed as she decided not to think about it anymore. âIâll consider it for two more days.â
Ye Wangchuan nodded and looked straight ahead. He drove steadily to the supermarket.

Qiao Nian said that she would consider it for two days, but Nan Tianyi couldnât wait. He called her again midway.
Although Nan Tianyi didnât mention his goddaughter on the phone, he clearly wanted to probe her thoughts.
Qiao Nian sent a message to Xie Tingyun the next night agreeing.
Xie Tingyun was naturally overjoyed. She felt much better and completely ignored Mother Xie and Xie Xinyao, who had been knocking on her door frequently these past two days. She immediately started to organize a banquet.
It was also big news in the independent continent that Xie Tingyun wanted to acknowledge a goddaughter.
However, considering that Qiao Nian was quiet and didnât like crowded places, Xie Tingyun suppressed her excitement and didnât make a big fuss.
After discussing with Nan Tianyi, she decided to hold a small banquet to announce this news.
Although Xie Tingyun had decided to inform everyone on a small scale, her goal was to tell everyone that she would protect Qiao Nian in the future. Whoever wanted to touch Qiao Nian would have to consider if she agreed.
So, she put a lot of thought into who she invited.
Not to mention anything else, she had written two copies of the list.
Several important families in the independent continent were all on her list, followed by her connections in the research institute.
The important figures of the Ji, Xie, and Nan families were included.
Feng Yu and Ji Lingfeng were also invited.
Of course, the Xie family was also on the list.
Mother Xie and Xie Xinyao were also invited.
