Why Did Elder Feng Look for You?

The jade bracelet was indeed beautiful.

But it was too fragile for her. It might shatter if she was not careful.

Qiao Nian took off the jade bracelet and placed it back in the box. Then, she closed the box and solemnly put it away.

Ye Wangchuan watched as she put away the gift. His lips curled up slightly as he said to the girl, "This is my advanced coming-of-age gift to you."

He had prepared a total of 20 gifts. This jade bracelet was personally designed and polished by him. It could be considered his first gift.

He had been absent from her first 19 years.

Now, he wanted to compensate her with everything that the Qiao Family owed her.

Ye Wangchuan knew that Qiao Nian might not care about this, but he could not bear to see her suffer.

His sweetheart should deserve the best in the world, and not have regrets in life.

If she had any regrets in the past, he would use the rest of his life to make up for them.

"There will be other presents in the future."

Qiao Nian: "Mm."

"Why are there more gifts?" She thought for a moment and looked back at the man. "What are they?"

Ye Wangchuan looked at her with a burning gaze. Then, he walked to the sofa. "I’ve already received what I wanted."

Qiao Nian looked at him in confusion. After a moment of silence, she asked with a serious expression, "Are you serious about regretting your promise to wait?"

She was half-joking just now.

Now she had changed her mind.

Ye Wangchuan did not expect this. He lowered his head and coughed lightly, then touched the tip of his nose and said in a helpless tone, "A gentleman never goes back on his word. I’m not that impatient."

"Is that so?" Qiao Nian looked at him suspiciously and sized him up, obviously not believing him.

After all, a certain someone did not seem as calm as he appeared.

However, Ye Wangchuan suddenly changed the topic. "Why did Elder Feng look for you?"

Qiao Nian’s attention was successfully diverted. She walked to the water dispenser and got herself a glass of water. Holding the paper cup, she casually said, "He found an experimental application form left behind by my mother in the research institute’s archives. It’s related to nuclear decomposition. He suspects that my mother’s departure from the First Research Institute and her early death are related to this research."

"Nuclear decomposition?"

As the actual head of the Bright Gate, Ye Wangchuan knew the situation very well.

As soon as Qiao Nian mentioned nuclear decomposition, he immediately thought of the stakes.

So, he asked the girl, "What do you think?"

"What can I think?" Qiao Nian shrugged and indifferently said, "The truth is right in front of us, isn’t it?"

Ye Wangchuan remained silent.



Qiao Nian carried the glass of water to the living room and found a place to sit down. "I’ll continue to investigate. This might involve the reclusive family."action

Ye Wangchuan frowned, but he did not try to persuade her like Feng Yu. "If you want to investigate, investigate. But you can’t act alone. Tell me if you find anything. I’ll accompany you."

In the past, Qiao Nian was used to acting alone and rarely cooperated with others.

She subconsciously looked at him and saw the seriousness and concern in the other party’s eyes. Qiao Nian retracted her gaze and lowered her head to take a sip of water, then placed the cup on her knees and lowered her eyes. "Mm."
