Chapter 2076
2076 Young Miss, Why Did You Ask Me Out?
Old Master Ye had never understood what his grandson was usually busy with, but he was not worried about Ye Wangchuan. Especially after the Ye family’s goods were robbed last time and Ye Wangchuan showed that he had a close relationship with the Bright Gate of the Independent Continent, Old Master Ye rarely asked about his private matters.
He also did not ask further now. He only instructed him to take good care of Qiao Nian and then hung up.
Ye Wangchuan called him mainly to ask him to help keep an eye on the other members of the Jiang Family so that Ji Hongyuan would not be like a mad dog. Now that the truck did not do the trick this time, if he targeted the other members of the Jiang Family…
If anything happened to Old Master Jiang or Jiang Li, he was afraid that Qiao Nian would do something terrible.
After Ye Wangchuan was done, he lowered his head and played with his cell phone. He found the girl’s profile picture on WeChat and thought for a moment before sending a message.

At a cafe in the center of the Independent Continent.
Qiao Nian sat outside the open-air cafe. The weather in November was very cold, and the climate in the Independent Continent was also very bad.
She was wearing a thin sweater and a jacket, with a white scarf wrapped around her neck. Qiao Nian’s hoodie was pulled up. Under the baseball cap, her face was exquisite and outstanding, extremely eye-catching.
A cup of hot cocoa was in front of her, still steaming. There was nothing else. She had not ordered any refreshments.
Her legs were crossed and she kept playing with her cell phone.
She seemed to be waiting for someone.
Cao Yanhua had sent her a message asking if she really was not going to the research institute in the afternoon. He even said that Shi Fu had asked them where she had gone when he came to the laboratory and did not see her. Xie Xinyao took the opportunity to tell Shi Fu something bad about her.
Cao Yanhua did not explain what Xie Xinyao said. He only said that Shi Fu was not very happy and advised her to return to the laboratory in the afternoon if there was nothing important.
Qiao Nian only replied with two words: Something’s on.
She was unruly just like when she left in the afternoon. The wildness in her bones could not be suppressed.
Qiao Nian did not read the replies.
Only when Ye Wangchuan asked whether she would be coming back for dinner did the coldness in her eyes dissipate a little.
Qiao Nian lowered her head to reply.
At this moment, the person she had been waiting for finally arrived.
“Y-Young Miss, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Qiao Nian paused typing a reply for now. Instead, she turned off her cell phone and placed it aside. Then, she looked up.
He Lin pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down. He called the shop assistant over with a smile and ordered a cup of coffee for himself.
Seeing that other than ordering a drink, Qiao Nian did not order any exquisite cakes that girls liked, he silently ordered the shop’s two best-selling snacks.
After the shop assistant left…
He Lin could not suppress his excitement anymore. He looked at the girl sitting opposite him and asked, “Young Miss, why did you call me? I thought…”
He thought that ever since Qiao Nian broke up with the Ji family last time, there was a high chance that she would never contact him again.
He Lin never expected that the person he did not manage to call out previously would take the initiative to call him and ask him out this time.
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, the girl picked up the hot cocoa and took a sip. After putting it down, she calmly asked, “You guys went for my father?”
“…”
He Lin was originally quite happy. But, upon hearing this, he immediately fell silent. He looked at her in shock, as if he did not understand what she was trying to say.
