He Didn’t Ask Where She Met Her Friend

“Oh.” Jiang Zongjin was used to her being busier than him, so he didn’t ask who she was meeting for dinner. He looked up and asked the girl with a gentle expression, “Then, do you want me to send you there? I’m in the same car as Master Cheng and the others. Where are you going? Shall we send you there?”

Qiao Nian’s phone vibrated before she could answer.

She took it out and looked down. It was a call from Ye Lan.

Qiao Nian didn’t answer. Ye Lan sent a message after she hung up.

[Ye Lan: Nian Nian, are you there? I’ll wait for you outside the airport. The license plate number is XXXX. Is your luggage heavy? Do you want me to come in and pick you up?]

Elder Ye’s WeChat message came right after.

Compared to Ye Lan, he was more concise and calm.

[Old Master Ye: I’m in the dining room. Chen Chen is also here. He said that you like spicy chicken? We don’t have any dishes you like yet. I’ll order them for you first.]

Qiao Nian rubbed her temples as a hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes.

She first replied to Ye Lan’s message and asked her to wait for her. Then, she replied to Elder Ye and asked him to order a few dishes. She had eaten something on the plane and was not hungry now.

After Qiao Nian replied, she took the time to say to Jiang Zongjin, “No need, Dad. My friend is waiting for me outside. I’ll take her car.”

Jiang Zongjin actually wanted to ask her which friend. However, on second thought, he remembered that he had met a few of Qiao Nian’s friends on the Independent Continent this time. He felt that it was better not to ask.

He was still in a daze by Zhong Yiliu and Lu Zhi.

However, he still said with concern, “Alright then. Go eat with your friend. I won’t disturb you anymore. Send me a message after you’re done.”

“Okay.” Qiao Nian wasn’t impatient at all. Her exquisite and eye-catching face looked lazy, but she patiently responded.

Jiang Zongjin’s brows relaxed and he smiled. “I’ll send your mother’s things to you when I get back. Are you still staying in Rhine?”

Ye Wangchuan had sent him his address before and asked him to go over and visit.

However, he felt terrible when he thought about how his daughter, whom he had finally found, had been taken home by an outsider before she could warm up to him. He had never been there before.

Now that he was almost done with his work and the Independent Continent incident had made him realize that he had not done well in many aspects, he hesitated and said, “I’ll send it to your house later.”

Qiao Nian glanced at him and nodded. Her voice was slightly hoarse. “Okay.”

Jiang Zongjin was even happier and took the initiative to ask, “Is Young Master Ye here? I said I would treat him to a meal, but I still haven’t. The three of us can eat together.”

Qiao Nian thought of the person who had yet to return from the Independent Continent. She looked at her father with her beautiful black eyes. “He went out for something. He won’t be back for a few days.”

“I see.” Jiang Zongjin felt a little regretful, but he quickly shook it off. In the blink of an eye, he said happily, “Then, let’s do it next time. I’ll treat him next time. The young man is a good person. I have something to talk to him about.”

“Okay.” Qiao Nian nodded patiently. She took a sip of coffee and threw the empty can into the trash can beside her.

She said a few words to him before Ye Lan called again. Probably to ask why she wasn’t out yet.

It just so happened that Master Cheng’s car had also arrived.

After informing them, Qiao Nian picked up her shoulder bag and went out to look for Ye Lan.
