Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3665: Sister Nian: It Might Not Be That Simple

Qiao Nian returned home after leaving the First Research Institute.

Ye Wangchuan was making soup.

“You’re back?” He walked out of the kitchen upon seeing her.

He was wearing a thin sweater. The collar was wide open, making his collarbone look fair. He was so handsome that he did not look like someone who knew how to cook.

Qiao Nian glanced at it once and then again. She put down her bag and spread out on the sofa. “Yes. It smells so good. What did you cook?”

Ye Wangchuan was still holding a spoon. Hearing this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a deep smile flashed across his narrow eyes. “Pig trotter soup.”

Silence.

She had been drinking all kinds of soup for the past few days and was about to vomit.

Ye Wangchuan could tell that the girl’s expression immediately became awkward. He put the spoon back in the kitchen and walked out with a smile. “Gu San said that you have to drink more soup.”

Qiao Nian’s neck stiffened. “… But I don’t have to drink it every day.”

“It’s fine. Drink as much as you want later.”

Ye Wangchuan walked up to her and stuck his tall legs in front of her. He opened his palm and handed her an orange candy, saying lightly, “If you feel uncomfortable, eat a candy.”

Qiao Nian glanced at him and slowly took the candy. She peeled off the wrapper and threw it into her mouth; it tasted familiar and sweet.

Tense for the entire afternoon, Qiao Nian finally relaxed. She leaned back and took the initiative to tell him about Di Xicheng. “I’ve found out that person’s whereabouts.

“I wanted to stop him on the high seas, but I didn’t expect him to escape.” She had a headache at the mention of this.

Supporting her forehead with her hand, she said rather irritably, “With Nie Qingru’s personality, it’s impossible for her not to retaliate. Let’s see what she does next.”

“Actually, I know even if you don’t tell me.”

Qiao Nian felt the sofa beside her sink instantly. She turned her head and saw Ye Wangchuan sitting down beside her.

She raised her eyebrows. Her body was still relaxed, as if used to being so close to him. She did not feel disgusted at all.

“Who told you that?”

“You caused such a big commotion on the high seas. The illegal district, Continent F, and the independent continent have all received news. Even Beijing has heard the commotion this time…”

Ye Wangchuan didn’t hide it from her. “Old Master just called me an hour ago. He said that Continent M is threatening them with business dealings to manage what happened in the high seas. He asked me if you were doing something there.”

At first, Qiao Nian was too lazy to move. Now, she frowned and sat up straighter. “She went after Elder Ye?”

“Not just grandfather. Also Grandpa Jiang… This time, she caused a huge commotion. She probably thought you would catch that person, so she tried to threaten you to let him go from Beijing in advance. After receiving the news, she probably stopped contacting Beijing and stopped the cooperation.”

Ye Wangchuan’s eyes were cold and handsome. He was elegant and spoke at a moderate pace. He had the demeanor of someone nurtured by a large family.

“You don’t have to take this to heart.” He could roughly see the unhappiness on Qiao Nian’s face and comforted her. “Interrupting trade between both sides is a big deal. As long as she’s not crazy, she won’t easily make such a move that will cause both sides to suffer. She called Beijing previously because she was forced into a corner by you and didn’t get any concrete news. That’s why she contacted the Old Master… Now, she’s given up on this idea.”

Qiao Nian’s tightly furrowed brows did not relax. Her dark eyes were heavy as if she was thinking about something. She pursed her lips and said after a while, “… It might not be that simple.”
