Chapter 2926  Leonard Wants to Meet Me

His confidant silently left and closed the door on his way out.

Leonard was suddenly alone in the room.

He took a gup of warm water. His heart was still heavy, so he stood up and walked to the window to look at the night view.

He did not call Qiao Nian. This time, he smartly called Feng Yu.

…

Feng Yu received a call from Leonard as soon as he got home.

"Sir, there"s a call for you." The servant handed him his cell phone.

Feng Yu had just changed his clothes. Taking the cell phone from the servant, he looked down at the caller ID, and his tanned face turned serious. "You guys can go now."

The servants all left.

Only now did Feng Yu accept the call with a flawless smile. "Elder Leo, what brings you here? It"s already so late. What"s the matter?"

Leonard did not beat around the bush. "I want to see Qiao Nian."

Feng Yu had long expected this. He subconsciously frowned, but his bores soon relaxed again. His att.i.tude was still smooth and slick. "This… I can"t make the decision. You can go look for her directly."

Leonard had never been tactful. He immediately interrupted him. "You know she won"t answer my call. I sent her a message, but she didn"t reply. I couldn"t get to her, so I could only look for you. Just tell me if you"re going to help!"

It would be too offensive if Feng Yu directly rejected it.

He pondered before saying, "I"m sorry, I have to ask her opinion."

Leonard did not expect this. He smiled and dispa.s.sionately said, "I want to talk to her about the painting."

"Painting?" Feng Yu did not know Leonard was in the independent continent for a painting, nor did he know that Qiao Nian had taken the painting first.

Leonard did not say much. "Just tell her I want to talk to her about the painting. She will name the conditions. I want that painting!"

He did not give Feng Yu a chance to reject him again. He gave him a time and place before hanging up.

Feng Yu slowly put down the cell phone upon hearing the busy tone. He frowned and contemplated before pa.s.sing on Leonard"s words to Qiao Nian.

In the car.

"Leonard"s set to meet me tomorrow at five in the afternoon in the Intercontinental Hotel"s underground garage."

After finis.h.i.+ng the call, the girl tilted her head and said to the man, "He wants the painting. In exchange, I can ask him for a favor."

"What do you want him to do?" Ye w.a.n.gchuan had long guessed that she only wanted to exchange the painting with Leonard. After all, Qiao Nian had no use for this painting.

Qiao Nian raised the corners of her eyes. She supported her chin with her hand and looked out the window at the flas.h.i.+ng neon lights. The light shone on her face, making it impossible to tell her emotions.

"I want to ask about someone."

Ye w.a.n.gchuan thought she would ask about Ji Qing. "Auntie?"

Qiao Nian shook her head. "No."

She did not say who it was.

Seeing she did not want to say anything, Ye w.a.n.gchuan closed his eyes and stopped asking. Instead, he said, "I"ll go with you tomorrow."

Qiao Nian felt that it was inappropriate, but after some thought, she agreed. "We"ll see when the time comes."

…

The next afternoon.

Qiao Nian did not go early to the appointment.

She busied herself in the laboratory from morning to noon doing the last experiment left behind in Ji Qing"s USB drive.

This experiment was extremely complicated.

Even though Qiao Nian was a genius, she still suffered a lot.

She had been working on this ever since coming back from Continent F. However, the progress of the experiment could have been faster, and she was only at the beginner level.
