Ye Lan really liked Qiao Nian and made plans for her wholeheartedly. Naturally, she also hoped that Old Master Ye would like her.
âShe only came to Beijing this time for her examination. She wonât be staying here for a long time. Letâs talk about that next time.â Ye Wangchuan looked at the time. Qiao Nian had been gone for five minutes and hadnât returned yet. His eyes were deep as he sent her a message, telling her the private room number.
Qiao Nian was obviously looking at her cell phone. He received a reply from her a few seconds after seeing his message.
[QN: I will be there shortly.]
Ye Wangchuan put his cell phone away and looked at the dishes that Ye Lan had ordered. He called the waiter over and ordered a few Sichuan dishes. He then casually said, âDonât appear too anxious, else you might scare her.â
Ye Lan only chose to dine at the Imperial Mansion because she didnât know Qiao Nianâs preference. Seeing him ordering some Sichuan dishes, she made a mental note of Qiao Nianâs preferred food and the few dishes that he ordered. She raised her eyes and said, âYou have been like this ever since you were young. You were always relaxed about everything. Iâm becoming worried for your sake, even if you arenât. When a girl as beautiful as Nian Nian goes to college, there will be many guys trying to woo her. If you still take things so slowly, you can just wait to attend her wedding with another guy in the future!â
Gu San also felt that Master Wang was too calm. As someone beside him, he was also worried for him. He didnât understand why Master Wang didnât seem to be worried.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThatâs right, Master Wang. What Miss Ye Lan is saying makes sense. When will you confess your feelings to Miss Qiao? What if I look for an opportunity and try to test out Miss Qiaoâs feelings? In the case she rejects you, we will still have more chances in the future to woo her.â
He spoke the words âin case she rejects youâ quite smoothly. It seemed like this wasnât the first time he had this thought.
Ye Wangchuan glanced at him coldly. He said, âYou seem to be very free recently. Are you free enough to be concerned about other peopleâs private affairs now?â
Gu San understood the threat in his gaze and shook his head vigorously. âNo, Iâm not free. Iâm in the wrong. Sorry, Master Wang.â
Ye Lan couldnât stand to see this anymore. She glared at him and said angrily, âWhy are you threatening Gu San? He didnât say anything wrong. All you do is stand beside her and look, not doing anything. If you continue to only look, someone will steal her away from you one day. Youâll regret it, then!â
Countless people were trying to pursue Ye Wangchuan. She wasnât worried about him finding a partner.
She knew how charming and attractive her nephew was.
However, she was worried about what would happen if Qiao Nian rejected him.
Nian Nian always looked indifferent on the surface. Maybe she had no intentions of dating at all. On that note, Ye Wangchuan would most likely get rejected. She would have to look at him more gently and have more sympathy for him now.
Just as she was thinking of this, her cell phone rang.
Ye Lan looked at the caller ID and then picked up the call. She spoke briefly and then hung up in a hurry.
Then, her well-maintained and elegant face showed urgency as she spoke to the people in the private room. âThe Old Master from the Wei Family is almost dying. It seems like heâs suffering from cerebral congestion. Theyâre searching everywhere for a doctor, but no one is willing to take on the risk. If this drags on, it seems like he wonât make it.â
Few families were on the same level as the Ye family.
The Shen Family wasnât comparable to the Ye family, and the Wen Family could barely be considered to be on the same level. Only the Wei Family could be said to be on the same level as them, the Ye family.
However, ever since Old Master Weiâs health deteriorated, the Wei Family was in a mess. Everyone just hung around him like ghosts, trying to put on a show to maximize their personal interests before the Old Masterâs last breath.
He was old and sick, but he still needed to watch his children and grandchildren quarrel selfishly in front of his hospital bed.
