“Nothing.” Qiao Nian was very frustrated, mainly because she was unsure where Lu Zhi went. Ye w.a.n.gchuan leaned forward and touched her forehead to test the temperature.

Seeing that her temperature was normal and she did not have a fever, but her face was pale, he lowered his eyes and asked gently, “Are you really alright?”

His fingertips were slightly cold, but they were like a spark burning the plains, making Qiao Nian’s chest even hotter.

Qiao Nian avoided his hand. “I’m fine.”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan put down his hand and narrowed his eyes. He felt that there was something she was not telling him.

Before he could ask, Qiao Nian said, “By the way, I’m going out alone. You can go back first.”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan’s s.h.i.+rt was flat and straight. The b.u.t.tons were sandalwood. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “Don’t you want me to drive you?”

Qiao Nian was absent-minded since her mind was occupied with Lu Zhi’s matter. “No, I’ll call a taxi.”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan looked at her deeply. “Alright, then.”

“Mm.”

Qiao Nian immediately went to say goodbye to Old Master Jiang and the others.

Although Old Master Jiang and Jiang Zongjin were surprised she was not leaving with Ye w.a.n.gchuan, they thought it was fine since Qiao Nian had something to do.

They did not ask further and only looked in Ye w.a.n.gchuan’s direction. They turned around and reminded the girl to be careful before watching her leave.

Jiang Li put down the gift box and returned to change his car keys. He saw that Qiao Nian was no longer here.

As he handed the car keys to the man, he looked around and asked, “Where did Nian Nian go? Why don’t I see her?”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan was on the phone, trying to speak with Bo Jingxing, but he had yet to pick up. He took the time to answer Jiang Li. “She said she had something to do and left first.”

Not to mention Old Master Jiang and the others, even Jiang Li was surprised. “She’s not with you?”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan did not reply.

Bo Jingxing finally picked up.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan concisely asked, “Where is Master Cheng?”

**

Half an hour later.

A taxi stopped outside 38 Binjiang Road and a girl in a baseball cap and sweater got out.

She walked straight to a coffee shop by the roadside.

Her aura was strong and she stood out.

Many people noticed her.

Qiao Nian did not care.

She walked straight to a table, took off her baseball cap, threw it on the table, and dragged out a chair to sit down. Her sitting posture was bold and her eyes were dark. Her face was filled with a surly aura. “Tell me, where’s Master Cheng?”

Sitting opposite her was a young man with disabled legs. The man was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt, ironed and flat. His skin was extremely fair, the kind that did not see the sun all year round. It accentuated his exquisite eyebrows and eyes, making him seem fragile and sickly. “You’re asking this the moment you see me?” Lu Zhi was not angry. He just chuckled.

Qiao Nian took a deep breath and frowned.

She pinched the bridge of her nose, suppressing her surging frustration. She tried to be patient. “If you want to do something else, I don’t care about you. But if you touch Master Cheng or target his research project, I might fall out with you.”

Lu Zhi’s smile froze at the girl’s serious tone.
