âItâs alright.â
Switching to another standing position, Qiao Nian raised a brow and asked, âWerenât you curious about how big my birthday party is, who I am inviting, and which booth it would be in?â
Qiao Chen fell silent.
She just asked for the sake of it. She didnât care about it at all.
âYup, thatâs right.â
Qiao Nian saw through her lie and knew what she was thinking of. Her eyes turned cold as she glanced at Qiao Chen.
She said with a low voice, âYouâll know this weekend.â
What did she mean?
Qiao Chenâs heart skipped a beat, and it started to race. She had a bad feeling about it.
Her parents and grandma would be there this weekend. Nothing should go wrong, right?
...
After leaving, Qiao Nian walked across the street, opened the doors to the Phaeton, and got in.
She then slammed the door shut.
Ye Wangchuan noticed how hard she slammed the door and raised a brow. He shut off his laptop, turned towards her, and asked. âWhat caused you to be so angry?â
Pouting, Qiao Nianâs eyes turned cold as she replied annoyedly, âI met a crazy person on the way here.â
What crazy person would annoy her to this extent?
Ye Wangchuan curiously stared at her. He then smiled gently and proposed with some bloodlust. âShould I take care of this person for you?â
Should she let him take care of Qiao Chen?
Qiao Nian blinked, feeling less annoyed already. She leaned against the chair and scoffed. âItâs fine. I like to take care of crazy people myself.â
She didnât want to rely on others when it involved Chen Chen.
She looked thoughtful as she continued, âYou have to deal with such people yourself. Else, theyâll forget about it and continue to annoy you after they recover.â
Qiao Chen was one such example. She avoided her the past few days, yet she dared to appear in front of Qiao Nian today. Even though she wasnât capable of doing much, it was still annoying.
âAre you sure you donât need my help?â Ye Wangchuan asked with a strong sense of disappointment.
Qiao Nian felt better after speaking to him. She nodded and said, âItâs fine. I can handle it on my own.â
She was close to finding a witness for what happened at the hospitalâs staircase.
If Qiao Chen really pushed Chen Chen down the stairs, she wasnât going to let it slide.
She announced before that she could bring the Qiao Family to success, and she could bring them to failure as well.
But she couldnât find any concrete evidence to show that Qiao Chen pushed Chen Chen down. Chen Chen was still bedridden and going through physiotherapy. Yet, the Qiao Family was eagerly preparing for Qiao Chenâs birthday.
If Qiao Chen didnât come to her, she wouldnât be so annoyed. But she did. It was... so annoying!
Her phone rang.
She received a message.
Qiao Nian looked down and glanced at her phone.
She tapped on the notification.
She had sent this messageâ
[QN: Do you want to come over for a meal?]
The person replied to herâ
[Nie: Where and when.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Nian sent the address of the Waterside Loft to him. After that, she started to rest.
She had been busy investigating Chen Chenâs incident and settling matters for the Red Alliance. Hence, she had been sleeping at 3:00 AM every day and going to school in the morning.
After a few days, her eyes were red from the lack of sleep.
âLet me rest for a while.â
Ye Wangchuan saw how she slept next to him even though he was of the opposite sex. He also noticed how pretty and fair she was. Her long lashes made her look adorable.
He suddenly smiled. He put a hand on his lap and asked with a low voice, âWhat do you want for your birthday?â
Qiao Nian had been really tired these few days. Half-asleep by now, she frowned, finding his question annoying. She pouted and replied, âIâm fine with anything!â
