Chapter 738: She Wasn’t Returning His Message At All
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“...” Qiao Nian was expressionless as she hung up the video call ruthlessly. That extremely eye-catching handsome face disappeared from the phone. The entire world fell silent, and the air was not as thin as before.
She picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip. Then, she saw that Shen Jingyan had sent another message.
[Nian Nian, didn’t you say you wanted to eat together previously? Let’s eat together when you are free?]
Qiao Nian’s attention was pulled back by the message. She saw that the person who had sent her a rare message had sent three consecutive messages.
She flipped through it with her fingers. She might have replied in the past.
However, she did not reply this time.
She decisively deleted all the messages from Shen Jingyan. When she was about to blacklist his phone number, her eyes darkened and she canceled the action.
Then, she threw her phone back onto the sofa and bent to pick up the towel, preparing to go to bed.
Before going to sleep, she passed by the mirror and saw that her hair was still wet. She stopped in her tracks and turned to the bathroom to find a hairdryer to blow dry her hair completely.
After her hair was completely dry, she went back to bed, took her medicine, and turned off the light to sleep.
...
On the other end, the Shen family’s villa in Beijing was brightly lit as if it was daytime.
Wei Ling had just returned to Beijing. When she returned, she went to the bedroom to take a shower. As she wiped her face, she walked down the stairs and happened to see the man sitting on the sofa in the living room.
“Jingyan, when did you come back? Why haven’t you changed?”
Shen Jingyan was holding his phone. When he heard this, he looked up and saw her walking over from the staircase. His expression was tense, and he was quite serious. His voice was also tired. “Go change immediately.”
“Yes.” When Wei Ling came down, she noticed that he had been paying attention to his phone. She couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you waiting for?”
Shen Jingyan didn’t hide it from her. He placed his phone on the table, but his gaze did not leave the phone for half a second. He said in a deep voice, “I sent Nian Nian a message. I asked her when she’s free to go out for a meal.”
Wei Ling’s face immediately darkened when she heard Qiao Nian’s name. The corners of her mouth drooped and she said unhappily, “Why did you send her a message?”
“...” Shen Jingyan didn’t answer her and only looked at her.
Wei Ling understood what he meant. Her chest was filled with panic and frustration. Her mood instantly became bad. “How did she reply to you?”
Shen Jingyan rubbed his temples when he heard this. His brows were furrowed so tightly that it seemed like they couldn’t be separated. His face was filled with worry. “She hasn’t replied to my message yet. I wonder if she’s asleep.”
“She didn’t reply?” Wei Ling didn’t expect this. She subconsciously looked at the clock in the living room. It was only nine o’clock. She sneered. “I don’t think she’s asleep. She just doesn’t want to reply.
“I bumped into her in Huanyu Hotel a few days ago. She was eating with Master Nie and Principal Liang. Professor Cheng invited her to eat with us. Even Chen Chen gave in to her and asked her to eat with us. Everyone sat together, but she refused to give us face. In the end, we couldn’t eat with Principal Liang either.”
Wei Ling couldn’t calm down when she mentioned this.
“After that, we bumped into each other at the entrance of the hotel. There were so many relatives in the Qiao family, and your sister and brother-in-law were also there, but she walked past us as if she didn’t see us. She didn’t even greet us and called for a taxi to leave.. With Qiao Nian’s attitude, do you think she will reply to your message? She’s clearly trying to draw the line between us.”
