2059 Sister Nian Eventually Returned to the Laboratory
Upon hearing this, Ye w.a.n.gchuan did not deliberately ask her how she was doing in the Level 8 laboratory. He started the car and smiled. “Then, let’s go eat first!”
“Gu San happened to just come back. I’ll treat you to hotpot. How about it?”
Qiao Nian’s appet.i.te was average initially.
At the mention of hotpot, she suddenly felt a little hungry. Temporarily forgetting about the trivialities in the Level 8 laboratory, her lips curled, and she felt much more relaxed. “Let’s go!”
She looked in the rearview mirror. She had not seen Gu San for more than a month. She pursed her lips and her gaze became warm. “It’s my treat to welcome Gu San.”
“Miss Qiao, sob—” Sitting at the back, Gu San was in tears. He almost changed his employer on the spot.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan glanced at him and looked back at the girl in amus.e.m.e.nt. He said softly in a low and smiling tone, “It’s my treat. You guys can eat as much as you want.”
He turned the car around before Qiao Nian could say anything. Placing a hand on the steering wheel, he looked ahead and whispered in a relaxed and soothing tone, “Nian Nian, it doesn’t matter who treats who between us.
“We’re family.”
The last word was uttered in an extremely low and hoa.r.s.e voice, as if he was whispering in her ear.
Qiao Nian’s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her eyes and hooked her fair fingers around the strap of her shoulder bag, speechless.
He was always playing!
Every time she was not paying attention, she would be taken into the ditch.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan found a hotpot restaurant.
After all, the Independent Continent was not their home country. The hotpot here could only be said to be barely satisfactory.
However, Qiao Nian had not eaten hotpot for a long time, so she ate a lot.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan spent most of the time boiling various dishes for her, putting food into her bowl, and pouring tea for her. Throughout the meal, Qiao Nian barely had to reach for any of her food. Ye w.a.n.gchuan did not eat much himself.
After dinner.
Gu San told Qiao Nian about some small matters that had happened in Beijing recently.
Meanwhile, Ye w.a.n.gchuan went to pay the bill.
After a while…
The person who went to pay the bill came back.
The man was only wearing a dark blue sweater with a lapel. He was tall, and it also accentuated his graceful temperament.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan walked up to them. Raising his deep eyes, he asked the girl, “What are your plans for the afternoon? Are you going back?”
He was asking Qiao Nian if she wanted to return to the residence to rest.
Qiao Nian frowned, frustration flas.h.i.+ng across her eyes. She picked up her shoulder bag and said to the two of them, “I’m going back to the laboratory.”
…
Half an hour later.
The black Land Rover returned to the intersection outside the First Research Inst.i.tute and stopped steadily.
Qiao Nian picked up her things, unbuckled her seatbelt, and prepared to get out of the car.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan said before she could get out, “I’ll pick you up at six in the afternoon.”
Qiao Nian had already gotten out of the car and was holding the door with one hand. Hearing this, she glanced at him, her dark eyes containing her frustration. She nodded. “We’ll see how it goes in the afternoon.”
She said goodbye to Gu San again and closed the door. Turning around, she walked towards the inst.i.tute, waving at the people in the car without looking back, indicating for them to go back first.
It was only until Qiao Nian disappeared that Gu San rolled up the window and said to the man in the driver’s seat, “Master w.a.n.g, I think Miss Qiao doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. Is it not going well at the First Research Inst.i.tute? By the way, which laboratory is she in now?”
