Someone Knocked on the Door Again

After Ji Nan entered the room, he only sized her up like a gentleman.

He realized that the girl didn’t bring much.

He only saw a laptop.

There were also a few sets of clothes by the bedside.

He didn’t even see a suitcase. It was obvious that Qiao Nian hadn’t brought a suitcase with her at all.

“Isn’t this room too small? Do you want me to get someone to change you to a better room?” Ji Nan always gave off a gentle feeling. When he spoke, his eyes were always smiling.

However, in Qiao Nian’s impression, his smile was like a sly fox.

The girl was still dressed in black, but she was not wearing a cap in the room. Her exquisite face was very eye-catching.

“No, thanks.”

Ji Nan raised the corners of his lips. “Don’t tell me you’re not changing rooms because you’re afraid that it’ll be troublesome?”

Qiao Nian also looked at him, her clear eyes seemingly saying, “Why are you thinking so much?”

“My teacher and the others are in the rooms in front. It’s not convenient to change rooms. I’ll stay in this room. It’s fine to live alone.”

Ji Nan touched his ear awkwardly and smiled. “I even said I would be a good host…”

He changed the topic and asked the same question as before. “By the way, why did you come to the Independent Continent this time?”

Actually, even if Qiao Nian hadn’t said anything, Ji Nan had already guessed something.

After all, she had mentioned the word “teacher” just now.

Ji Nan guessed that she had come with the scientific research team from her country.

Hence, after Qiao Nian gave him a simple explanation, he looked as if he had expected this. He turned his head and said, “Then, haven’t you gone out for a walk in the past two days? Do you have any plans for tonight? If you don’t, I’ll take you out for a walk and treat you to a meal.”

Qiao Nian leaned against the table, one hand in her pocket. Her eyes were lowered, and her dark eyelashes hid the emotions in her eyes. She seemed nonchalant. She was about to tell Ji Nan why she had called him over.

Unexpectedly, there was another knock on the door at this moment.

This time, the other party knocked quickly and urgently.

They were here!

Qiao Nian’s eyes turned cold. The corners of her lips curled up into an evil and arrogant smile.

“Who is it?” Ji Nan happened to be closer to the door. Without waiting for Qiao Nian, he rushed over to open it.

The door opened.

There were a few people in hotel uniforms outside. When they saw him, they seemed to be dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.

“Hello, may I ask… may I ask if Miss Qiao lives here?”

Ji Nan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with them.

His expression did not change as he blocked the door with one hand and did not move aside. There was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were sharp. “Are you from the hotel?”

They were already drenched in a cold sweat. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were flickering.

“Are you guys from the hotel?” Ji Nan asked again.

The leader, a blond man, stammered. “Ah, right, sorry. We might have the wrong room number.”

“Didn’t you say that you were looking for Miss Qiao?” Ji Nan’s smile deepened at his reaction. He said calmly, “You’re right. This is Qiao Nian’s room. What’s your business?”

They were so frightened that they didn’t even dare to look at him. They had almost the same reaction and shook their heads violently. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. We found the wrong person. We found the wrong person.”

“Excuse me, we’ll check again.”

After saying that, seemingly afraid that he would continue asking and so frightened that they peed their pants, they ran away without looking back.
