Ye Wangchuan walked over. âWhat are you thinking about?â
Qiao Nian crossed her legs and played with the lighter, as if she was distraught. âWhat time is our flight?â
âThree in the afternoon.â Ye Wangchuan sat beside her and handed her water. âAre you worried about the independent continentâ¦â
Qiao Nian took the water from him and did not deny it. âThere hasnât been any news from the Ji family since yesterday. Itâs said that Ji Lingfeng hasnât released them yet. The subordinates of the various halls canât sit still anymore. Theyâve started to wander outside the old residence. Sooner or later, theyâll rush in.â
No one dared to oppose Ji Lingfeng before.
But it was different now.
Ji Lingfeng had been missing for more than half a year due to serious injuries, and his physical condition was still unclear.
Under such circumstances, many people had crooked thoughts and always wanted to take a gamble. Some of the stronger clansmen nursed different thoughts.
It could be said that the current situation was not so optimistic for Ji Lingfeng and the entire Ji family.
âWhereâs Ji Nan?â Ye Wangchuan saw she was not drinking the water and rolled up his sleeves. His fingers were long and slender, and his nails were neatly trimmed; they were lustrous and beautiful.
Qiao Nian followed his hands and took another look. Then, she looked up and met his dark eyes. Other than the deepness of the vast starry sky, there was also something reassuring.
She was suddenly less irritable.
Qiao Nian shook off the lighterâs lid and pursed her lips. âHe canât enter either.â
âThe old residence has been locked down by Ji Lingfengâs men. If the people outside want to enter, they can only force their way in! Even Ji Nan canât enter.â
This was why she felt that something was wrong.
It was fine if outsiders couldnât enter, but there was no reason why Ji Nan couldnât enter.
However, the truth was that Ji Lingfeng even stopped Ji Nan from entering. She had no choice but to think about what was going on inside.
Qiao Nian had always disliked being conflicted.
At this thought, she slapped the lighter on the table and looked at the manâs deep eyes. âBring forward the flight time. Iâll set off immediately.â
There were no flights to the independent continent at this time.
They needed to use the Ye familyâs plane.
Private routes needed to be communicated with the tower in advance. They couldnât just take off.
Ye Wangchuan didnât say anything else. He stood up and picked up his cell phone. âWait for me. Iâll confirm the time.â
âOkay.â Qiao Nian pulled down her baseball cap. She wanted to thank him but felt it would be too distant.
In the end, she didnât say anything.
Ye Wangchuan watched as her lips moved, but she did not say anything. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he was in a good mood. He touched the girlâs baseball cap. âDonât worry, Iâll get it done as soon as possible.â
Qiao Nian wasnât used to being touched on the head. The main reason was that this action did not suit her. It always made her feel strange and resistant.
However, as Ye Wangchuanâs large hand landed on the top of her head and gently rubbed it, she actually did not feel too disgusted, as if she was already used to his touch.
In the past, this habit seemed ridiculous to her, but now, she did not feel it anymore. It was as if she felt at ease leaving her back to him.

Half an hour later.
Qiao Nian and the others arrived at the terminal of Beijing International Airport.
Master Cheng still needed looking after, so Gu San stayed behind.
As an idle person, Qin Si was arranged by Gu San to accompany them.
Bo Jingxing was also coming.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
