Chapter 141 - She Was Thinking Too Much
Panda Novel
Ye Wangchuan cornered her, smiled, and asked, “I’m… your friend?”
What’s wrong with what she said?
He was wearing the shirt Qiao Nian got him. She could tell that he had ironed it thoroughly and treasured it a lot.
She could see the bracelet on the arm blocking her. It was the silver bracelet that she got for him.
He refused to let her pass, closed his eyes, and asked softly, as though he was trying to seduce her, “Am I not a brother?”
She used to address him as Brother.
She would at least try to put on an obedient look in front of him previously.
But she was treating him so casually now.
He looked at her and asked, “Are you not addressing me as a brother anymore?”
Qiao Nian felt that she was getting flushed again. Even though she was perfectly fine, she felt constrained every time he blocked her or when they spent time alone together.
She thought for a while before asking seriously, “Should I call you Uncle, then?”
Ye Wangchuan was speechless.
“Chen Chen addresses me as Sister. It’d be weird for me to address you as Brother. If you don’t want me to address you as a friend, I’d have to address you as Uncle.”
Qiao Nian did it on purpose.
She knew that would shock him. She wasn’t going to be dominated by him every time.
It was unpleasant.
“Little Uncle?” she asked with her unique, raspy voice.
She was just being cheeky. It was obvious that she was just joking. She was like an angry cat that wanted to scratch him after being cornered.
He thought about being addressed as Little Uncle. Even though it sounded great, it wasn’t right.
They were from the same generation.
It would be a hassle to change it in the future as well.
Ye Wangchuan stopped blocking her, stood up, and said, “Fine. Address me as a friend, then.”
She won!
She was so excited that she almost screamed. She looked up and said, “I’m going to wash my hands, then.”
Just as she was walking past Ye Wangchuan.
He spoke again.
“Nian Nian, I don’t mind if you add another word in front of ‘friend’!”
Adding a word in front of “friend”? Qiao Nian could only think of a word.
Boyfriend!
Shocked, she almost tripped.
Ye Wangchuan then nonchalantly continued, “Best friend…”
Qiao Nian heard that and regained her balance.
She flushed.
Damn, she was thinking too much!
She ran away!
…
A week later.
Zhao Jingwei was still locked up.
Mother Zhao had gone to the Tang family several times during this period.
The last time she went, she wanted to hang herself as she felt sorry for her deceased husband.
The Tang Family couldn’t stand her.
Tang Wei felt that she owed her a favor.
Since she failed to get Qiao Nian to agree, she approached First High School’s Principal. However, he was a sly old dog and said that he couldn’t do anything since she was locked up already.
She felt that the Jiang family was involved in this.
Hence, she had to use the family’s connection and finally connected with Rao City’s Chief of Police.
The chief was newly promoted and he had a good relationship with the Tang family. In fact, the Tang family played a role in his promotion. Hence, he could be trusted.
She told Liang Heng about Zhao Jingwei. She even told him that the Jiang family was involved in it as well. Liang Heng also agreed to do her a favor and promised to release her soon.
She could finally relax.
She then asked Mother Zhao to go home and prepare to fetch her from the police station. After that, she asked Liang Heng out for a meal.
