Chapter 2157
2157 Sister Nian Asked Twice, but He Didn’t Go
“Now?” Qin Si was a little hesitant.
He had heard that Tian Chen’s Lu Zhi would be coming to the independent continent. So, he wanted to go back and get Mo Dong and Mo Xi to investigate the other party’s whereabouts for him.
However, it was rare for Qiao Nian to invite him. Qin Si was very conflicted and did not know what to do.
Qin Si hesitated for a few seconds and looked at the girl hesitantly before asking, “Sister Qiao, which friend of yours is it? Is it convenient for me to go?”
Qiao Nian nodded and said casually, “It’s convenient. They’re my two childhood friends. We have known each other for a long time. Their personalities are alright and they’re easy to get along with. They aren’t shy.”
“I see.” Qin Si was still conflicted. He frowned. He could not understand why Qiao Nian wanted him to meet her childhood friends.
Only Ye Wangchuan guessed something, but he did not interrupt them.
After a short dilemma, Qin Si still felt that finding Lu Zhi was more important. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, “Sister Qiao, I won’t go. I have something urgent to look for Mo Dong and the others today. Next time. I’ll treat your friends to a meal next time.”
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows and looked at him belatedly. Already inside the car, she turned around to ask him, “Are you sure you don’t want to go?”
Qin Si looked at her in confusion and was stunned for a moment. His sixth sense tingled, but he couldn’t make sense of what he was feeling.
“I won’t go. Another day. Next time.” Qin Si shook his head, quite serious. “I’ll treat them to a meal the next time they go to Beijing.”
Qiao Nian looked at him deeply and did not say anything. Then, she nodded and agreed readily. “Alright, I gave you a chance. This was your choice.”
She originally wanted to bring him along, but it seemed that Qin Si was not free.
Ye Wangchuan asked, “Have you arranged the place?”
“We have.”
Qiao Nian gave him an address. It was in the center of the independent continent, outside a clubhouse not far from the Intercontinental Hotel.
Ye Wangchuan felt a little relieved. He nodded elegantly and said, “I’ll get Gu San to send you there.”
“Mm.”
Before they left, Qiao Nian turned to look at Qin Si and asked again, “Are you really not coming?”
Qin Si was confused. He was clueless, but he had indeed made an appointment with Mo Xi. He could only say, “Sister Qiao, I really have something urgent. Next time…”
Qiao Nian had asked him twice, and both times, he said that it was an urgent matter. Qiao Nian gave up.
Then, Gu San drove to the address she gave him.

At the hotel.
In the presidential suite.
A young man was sitting in a wheelchair, standing in front of the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window and looking down at the scenery of the entire independent continent.
Jian Jin saw him as soon as she entered the luxuriously decorated room.
Her footsteps gradually lightened as she walked over and said, “Boss, Qiao Nian just sent a message saying that she’ll be here soon. Shouldn’t we go down?”
This was not the Intercontinental Hotel. It was Tian Chen’s private hotel in the independent continent. It was especially used by Tian Chen’s people and was considered Tian Chen’s business.
The coffee shop downstairs where Jian Jin and Qiao Nian had arranged to meet was quieter and easier to talk to.
She stood at the side with her hands crossed after speaking.
After waiting for a long time, the man in front of the window finally reacted. He turned the white jade ring on his finger and replied lightly, “Yes, let’s go.”
