Chapter 2121
2121 Sister Nian Agreed
Ye Wangchuan smiled and started the car again. He turned the car around and drove towards the city center. “Then, let’s eat at home. I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some groceries.”
“Mm.”
Qiao Nian agreed.
Ye Wangchuan drove steadily.
Qiao Nian took out the old photo Xie Tingyun gave her and looked at it for a while.
A young Xie Tingyun was beside Ji Qing. Obviously, they had a good relationship.
Qiao Nian looked at the photo for a while before putting it away. Then, she pursed her lips and suddenly said, “Aunt Xie wants to acknowledge me as her goddaughter.”
From the moment she took out the photo, Ye Wangchuan had already glanced at it and recognized the people pictured.
He just didn’t interrupt the girl’s thoughts.
It wasn’t until Qiao Nian mentioned it to him that he asked, “What do you think?”
Qiao Nian retracted her hand from outside. Her eyes were clear and outstanding, and her voice wasn’t loud. “She most likely knows my background. She’s afraid that I’ll be too reckless, so she thought of acknowledging me as her goddaughter to give me another guarantee.”
Actually, Xie Tingyun didn’t have to do this.
Qiao Nian knew very well what she had done and knew very well that the Ji family couldn’t do anything to her.
What she couldn’t reject wasn’t Xie Tingyun’s ‘guarantee’, but the sincerity of an elder who cared about her.
Ye Wangchuan knew her well, so he didn’t say anything and let Qiao Nian make her own decision.
“I’ll probably accept.”
Qiao Nian had already made up her mind. She was just not used to this feeling of being too tied down.
In the past, when nothing was holding her back, she seemed to be more carefree.
Now, many people needed her protection and care. Although she wasn’t as free and easy as before, her heart seemed to be more fulfilled.
She wasn’t that empty anymore.
Qiao Nian’s brows relaxed as she decided not to think about it anymore. “I’ll consider it for two more days.”
Ye Wangchuan nodded and looked straight ahead. He drove steadily to the supermarket.

Qiao Nian said that she would consider it for two days, but Nan Tianyi couldn’t wait. He called her again midway.
Although Nan Tianyi didn’t mention his goddaughter on the phone, he clearly wanted to probe her thoughts.
Qiao Nian sent a message to Xie Tingyun the next night agreeing.
Xie Tingyun was naturally overjoyed. She felt much better and completely ignored Mother Xie and Xie Xinyao, who had been knocking on her door frequently these past two days. She immediately started to organize a banquet.
It was also big news in the independent continent that Xie Tingyun wanted to acknowledge a goddaughter.
However, considering that Qiao Nian was quiet and didn’t like crowded places, Xie Tingyun suppressed her excitement and didn’t make a big fuss.
After discussing with Nan Tianyi, she decided to hold a small banquet to announce this news.
Although Xie Tingyun had decided to inform everyone on a small scale, her goal was to tell everyone that she would protect Qiao Nian in the future. Whoever wanted to touch Qiao Nian would have to consider if she agreed.
So, she put a lot of thought into who she invited.
Not to mention anything else, she had written two copies of the list.
Several important families in the independent continent were all on her list, followed by her connections in the research institute.
The important figures of the Ji, Xie, and Nan families were included.
Feng Yu and Ji Lingfeng were also invited.
Of course, the Xie family was also on the list.
Mother Xie and Xie Xinyao were also invited.
