Isn’t Sun Right by Your Side?

As expected.

The blond young man stopped in front of them. His fair and handsome face couldn’t hide his excitement and respect. He handed Qiao Nian the bouquet of flowers when he saw her.

“S…”

He almost let it slip again. Fortunately, he was quick on the uptake. Aiden caught himself, and his refined face changed. He corrected himself immediately.

“Miss Qiao, congratulations on winning first place in the competition.

“This bouquet is for you.”

He pushed the bouquet towards Qiao Nian.

“I prepared this in advance. I knew you would definitely win the competition!”

Qiao Nian was speechless.

What she was really afraid of was coming???

Her eyes were especially irritable. Under the gazes of Qin Si and the others, she silently reached out to take the bouquet. “Thank you.”

Aiden’s eyes sparkled at the sight of her accepting the bouquet he’d prepared, and his reaction was extraordinary. He waved his hands in a quick gesture. “It’s my honor.”

His reaction was as if Qiao Nian accepting his flowers was his greatest honor.

However, the problem was that he was definitely at the top of the pyramid in the IT field. Otherwise, the State Councilor of Country D would not have spent so much effort inviting him to the competition.

Such a person actually restrained his arrogance in front of Qiao Nian. He lowered his head and looked very respectful.

Qin Si couldn’t hold it in anymore. He looked at Aiden, then at Qiao Nian. “Sister Qiao, do you know each other?”

Qiao Nian wanted to say that she didn’t know him, but Aiden beat her to it. “No, no, we don’t. I just admire Miss Qiao’s performance on the field and want to get to know her.”

“Oh.” Qin Si was actually still a little puzzled, but he had never been the type to think too much. He muttered to himself, “I thought you two knew each other.”

Aiden immediately expressed that he didn’t know Qiao Nian before.

Qin Si stopped thinking and looked at him. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became interested. “I heard that you’re a member of the Red Alliance?”

Red Alliance.

Aiden couldn’t hide his pride. “Yes.”

Looking at Qiao Nian, he retracted his pride and explained in a low-key manner, “But I’m only one of the overseas members now.”

He was a member of the overseas branch of the Red Alliance and the illegal district.

The members of the headquarters were the Red Alliance’s backbone. He wasn’t qualified to be selected to enter the illegal district yet.

“The overseas members are already very impressive.”

Qin Si pondered and said, “Um, can you help me make an appointment with Sun? I want to treat ‘him’ to a meal. You can help me pass a message to ‘him’.”

He was still thinking about the last time Sun had helped them locate their location. He was abnormally obsessed with treating Sun to a meal.

Aiden looked at him strangely. He stole a few glances at Qiao Nian before saying softly, “Well, it’s not convenient for me to make an appointment for you. If you want to have a meal with Sun, you can ask her yourself.”

Qin Si was about to say, “If I could know ‘him’, why would I ask you to help me pass the message?” when Qiao Nian interrupted them. She raised her eyelids and said roguishly, “I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.”

Although Qin Si was unwilling to give up, he saw that Qiao Nian was hungry.

He still reluctantly waved Aiden off and took small strides to keep up with the girl.

It was Aiden who stood his ground and waited until they were gone before daring to scratch his head. “He doesn’t know that Sun is beside him?” he asked incredulously.

…

In Beijing.

Jiang Zongnan had just hung up on Shen Jingyan. He rubbed his temples and talked to Tang Wanru with a headache. “The Shen family called and said that Qiao Chen has been taken away by the police. They asked me to plead with Nian Nian.”
