Before Ye Wangchuan could say anything, Gu San, who was behind him, happened to hear him. He subconsciously looked over and did not see anyone. He frowned and said speechlessly, “Young Master Qin, I don’t see anyone. Did you see it wrongly? How could Miss Qiao be here?”

Qin Si scratched his head. The girl who had just walked over walked too quickly and disappeared around the corner of the corridor in the blink of an eye. He didn’t see her face clearly.

This was an illegal area.

It was indeed unlikely that Qiao Nian would appear here.

However…

Qin Si said in a low voice, “I just saw a figure that looked especially like Sister Qiao. I thought it was Sister Qiao and couldn’t help but exclaim. Perhaps I was mistaken.”

But they were too damn alike!

Were they not the same at all!

At a glance, it was Qiao Nian!

“You must be seeing things.” Gu San was quite sure.

Qin Si was uncertain after hearing his words. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying reluctantly, “That’s true. Sister Qiao is in Beijing. How could she appear here?”

Besides, the IT Association’s banquet tonight was quite high-class. No one could enter without an invitation.

How could Qiao Nian have an invitation from the IT Association?

On the other hand, Ye Wangchuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze was deep as he looked at Qin Si, who was scratching his head beside him. He pursed his thin lips and took out his cell phone from his coat to find the top message on WeChat.

He clicked on it.

The girl didn’t reply often.

But she replied to practically every message he sent.

In the chat, the last message was him asking Qiao Nian where she was eating and what time it was.

Qiao Nian had replied to him an hour ago.

She said eight o’clock.

And it was at the hotel where she was staying.

Coincidentally, the IT Association’s banquet started at 8 PM and was also held at Jin Chen Hotel.

Thinking about what Qin Si had said in the room just now, Ye Wangchuan’s eyes darkened and a thought surfaced in his mind.

He had always been a person who cared about doing more than talking. That thought just surfaced when he lowered his head and sent a WeChat message.

…

In the Western-style restaurant, the music was extremely melodious.

The girl walked in and pulled down the brim of her cap impatiently. She looked around the restaurant and was about to find a quieter place to kill time when the cell phone in her pocket vibrated.

She took it out and glanced at it.

[Ye Wangchuan: Where are you?]

Qiao Nian raised her dark eyes and looked at the WeChat message in confusion.

Didn’t she reply that she was at the hotel? Why did Ye Wangchuan send her a message asking where she was?

She held onto her cell phone tightly and turned a corner with fewer people and was about to reply when another message came in.

Qiao Nian took a look. It was Ye Wangchuan’s message again.

[Have you arrived at the restaurant?]

The two consecutive messages came out of nowhere.

Qiao Nian’s fingers were on her cell phone, her brows furrowed. She was still thinking about how she should reply when the other party sent her a third message.

[I’ll wait for you at the entrance.]

Qiao Nian looked at the message on her phone screen. After a few seconds, she raised her head and looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

People were coming and going at the entrance.

From time to time, someone would come in with an invitation.

But she didn’t see a familiar figure.

She looked at the message Ye Wangchuan had sent her again and frowned. Although she did not understand what he meant, she still put away her cell phone and walked towards the entrance…
