Chapter 1798 - 1798 You Said It Yourself, I"m Still Young!

1798 You Said It Yourself, I’m Still Young!

Qiao Nian was still wondering if the person he was talking about was Ji Ziyin. Then, she registered what he said at the end. Her mind froze for a moment, but she immediately returned to normal. She said without thinking, “What time in the afternoon? I’ll pick you up at the airport.”

“Oh.” He chuckled and suddenly felt extremely good. He looked at her again, his gaze deep. “Did you miss me?”

Qiao Nian was speechless.

He wasn’t in a hurry. He would wait for her to think about it slowly.

Frustrated, Qiao Nian sat up, picked up her phone, and went to retrieve the cup. After another half a second of silence, she replied, “I can manage.”

“You can manage?”

Qiao Nian sat down again and looked at him. Her eyes were filled with the desire to win, lazy and cool. There was also a seductiveness that she didn’t notice. “Well, it’s just so-so.”

His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his eyes gradually deepened. He almost asked Gu San to arrange for a plane to fly back immediately.

However, he still had some work to do. No matter how fast he was, it would still take a day.

He wasn’t a young man anymore, but his heart still burned when he looked at the girl on the screen. His heart beat uncontrollably like a dense drumbeat, making him unable to control his emotions. “Nian Nian.”

“Yes?”

Qiao Nian glanced at him and nodded. Then, she heard the man’s low and murmuring voice. “…I miss you. What should I do?”

What should I do?

Qiao Nian had never dealt with such a situation before. Her eardrums were burning, and she felt her body heat up. She didn’t know why she was feeling so hot. Then, she looked at the person on the screen. The man’s eyes were thin, like a vast smoke wave, or like a tall mountain. For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.

Her throat felt a little dry.

She pretended to take a sip of water, but she felt that she was not thirsty. The heat did not abate even after she drank more than half of the cup.

She simply coughed and put on a serious expression. “You said it yourself. I’m still young!”

She had told him about this in the Independent Continent.

She remembered clearly that a certain someone kept saying that she was still young and had to wait a little longer.

Telling her this now?

It wasn’t appropriate!

It wasn’t like she didn’t give him a chance back then.

There was nothing he could do if he wanted to be a gentleman.

“You take responsibility for what you say.”

He was just saying it. He didn’t expect Qiao Nian to bring this up. He had thought about waiting another year, but now he regretted it a little.

He thought of that d.a.m.ned ‘good friend’ label from before. Back then, it was also because of that label that he had to take many detours.

Qiao Nian’s mood improved a lot after her words silenced him. Her brows relaxed and she saw a message pop up on her phone from the corner of her eye. She asked, “What time is your flight the day after tomorrow? I’ll go pick you up.”

“Three o’clock in the afternoon.”

It would take some time to fly to the capital from the Independent Continent. He had already chosen the fastest flight back.

“Got it.” Qiao Nian didn’t waste any more time talking to him. She hung up the video call.

Then, she picked up her phone and casually scrolled through the message she had seen earlier.

The message was from an unknown number in Jing City.

[Miss Qiao, I’m He Congming. I was presumptuous the last time we met. I wonder if you have time to meet me tomorrow. You can decide on the time and place. I wonder if it’s convenient for you?]

Qiao Nian only glanced at it with a cold expression. Without replying, she deleted the message and blacklisted the number.

The entire process was done in one go!

Without any hesitation!
