It was already close to the early hours of the morning when Li Yao parked the car in the garage of the villa, Qiao Nian was still sleeping, her eyebrows were frowning, and it could be seen that she was sleeping very unsteadily.

Unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, walked to the co-pilot's side, opened the door, leaned over and picked Qiao Nian up from the car.

"I'm sorry."

Only then did he pick up Qiao Nian, and he heard her whispering.

Li Yao's movements in his hands paused, and he hesitated slightly, this sentence is sorry, I don't think it was said to him.

He once said that Qiao Nian and Ji Bei owe no one anything, so she can end it cleanly and without any nostalgia, so he hopes that Qiao Nian owes him, so that Qiao Nian will feel a little guilty and be reluctant to leave.

But in the end, he still can't compare to Ji Bei.

It was Qiao Nian who owed Ji Bei, and even owed it to the point that he was not qualified to stand with him anymore.

Qiao Nian could sell herself to Li Yao for a year for Ji Lan, carefully keep her distance from Ji Bei, and even be reluctant to set foot in his life, but between Ji Lan and Ji Bei, she chose Ji Bei without hesitation.

She clutched Ji Bei's clothes tightly in her hand and was unwilling to let go, and what she relied on may have always been the man who had been in her heart for ten years.

Ten years, loved him for time.

It's been too long.

When it was so long, Li Yao felt that he would not have any chance of winning.

The next day, Qiao Nian woke up on the soft big bed, there was no trace of anyone sleeping on the side, she propped up on the bed with her palms, and when the palms touched the blazer under her, she couldn't help but be shocked.

Turning his head to look over, looking at the familiar smoky gray, Qiao Nian only felt that he was cold, and he woke up in an instant, and he didn't even care about putting on his shoes, so he went out with Ji Bei's coat and threw it directly into the trash can outside the villa with his bare feet.

She did all this neatly and without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Yan, Chen Yan, and Li Yao stood on the terrace on the third floor together, naturally watching all this as it was.

"What? Are you your wife off again? Jiang Yan frowned slightly, and laughed casually and teased Li Yao.

Li Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Yan naturally didn't know that Qiao Nian lost Ji Bei's coat, he just thought that Li Yao had accidentally made people angry, so angry that people even lost his clothes, and it was in front of Li Yao.

However, Li Yao knew it.

Obviously, he still clutched it tightly last night and refused to let go, and threw it away so neatly early in the morning, the same thing, when he was weak-willed, he loved like a treasure, but when he was sober, he could simply abandon it, I have to say, Qiao Nian's speed of changing his face is really fast.

Jiang Yan saw that Li Yao didn't answer at all, and he also knew that he was bored with himself, Li Yao originally called Qiao Nian over because he was frightened last night, and now that Qiao Nian woke up, he should naturally be busy with business.

Qiao Nian cleaned up, changed clothes from the cloakroom and came downstairs, and was called by Jiang Yan to go for a health check.

Li Yao sat next to him and looked at the information in his hand intently, without saying anything.

Qiao Nian glanced at Li Yao carefully, Li Yao's eyebrows twisted, flipped through the information report in his hand, and asked without looking at Qiao Nian: "Do you want to see the accident investigation report of yesterday's villa fire?" ”

"I ......" Qiao Nian hesitated slightly.

However, before she could say anything, Li Yao directly handed her the information in his hand: "You better see for yourself, I don't know much about that side, judging from the report, it was an accident." ”

Qiao Nian took it after realizing it and looked at it seriously.

Jiang Yan had already finished checking Qiao Nian, and while packing up the medical tools, he said: "It's not a big problem, she just has a poor physique, plus she was a little frightened yesterday, just take some medicine, and make up for the poor physique. ”

"Yes." Li Yao responded casually.

After reading the report, Qiao Nian closed it and handed it to Li Yao, didn't say anything, his eyes were slightly closed, he sat quietly for a while, and then got up again, looking at a loss.

Mother Liu came over and said, "Madam, the chicken soup is stewed, come and drink some, it's time for breakfast." ”

Qiao Nian realized it later, stood next to the sofa, and subconsciously looked at her when she heard Liu's mother speak, but her eyes were a little dazed.

Mother Liu's eyebrows twisted slightly: "Madam? ”

Qiao Nian responded: "Well, okay, I know, I ......"

Li Yao's eyes were slightly constricted, his sexy thin lips were pursed into a line, his hands were folded, his thumbs and fingertips were slowly rubbing his fingers, as always, he was silent, the expression on his face was faint, and he couldn't even see any emotion.

Jiang Yan still said sentence by sentence: "By the way, in addition to food supplements, you must also remember to ensure adequate rest, work must be worked, but don't even ...... for work."

Mother Liu saw that Qiao Nian had not finished speaking, although she was still waiting respectfully and politely, she still noticed a little strangeness in the end: "Madam, you?" What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Jiang Yan: "How is it possible, I just checked it, everything is normal." After speaking, he held back a glance at Li Yao, this guy hasn't moved yet.

Usually Qiao Nianyi is a little uncomfortable, Li Yao must be the most nervous one, but now, he hasn't said a word from just now to now, it's too different from his style, okay!

"Li Yao." Jiang Yan wrinkled his eyebrows and glanced at him: "What's the matter?" ”

"Huh?" Li Yao seemed to have just heard it.

Jiang Yan looked at Qiao Nian and reminded, "Why don't you hurry up and take a look!" As he spoke, he glanced at the fire investigation report that was put on the table by Qiao Nian, and was speechless for a moment: "You are really, why do you show her this at this time!" ”

I was frightened last night, and I have to read the accident investigation report again early in the morning, but don't I have to think about what happened last night!

Although Jiang Yan didn't know that it was Ji Lan who had an accident last night, he also knew that it was Qiao Nian's biological mother, and her whereabouts were unknown until now, so everyone should be worried about it!

He knew that Li Yao had always been emotionally weak, and he didn't have a deep understanding of human feelings, so he did a little worse in this regard, but Jiang Yan hadn't seen how meticulous Li Yao was to Qiao Nian, so Jiang Yan was sure that Li Yao was absolutely abnormal today.

And Li Yao, as if he had only known after Jiang Yan's reminder, immediately got up and walked to Qiao Nian: "Are you okay?" ”

Qiao Nian tugged at the corners of his mouth and shook his head with a smile: "It's okay." After speaking, he said to Liu's mother: "I'll go up and take a bath first, and I'll drink the chicken soup later." ”

Mother Liu: "Then I'm still going to warm up, otherwise it won't be good if it gets cold for a while." ”

Qiao Nian nodded, then turned around and went up.

Li Yao's hands were empty, and even his heart was empty.

Jiang Yan saw Qiao Nian's figure disappear at the corner of the stairs, and immediately walked to Li Yao's side, with an inexplicable expression: "Did your brain also be damaged by smoke last night?" What are you thinking day by day, where is the shameless energy that used to coax people? When is it bad to mess with people, but at this time, the person who was missing last night was her own mother, your mother-in-law, can you behave like a person? ”

Li Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, he chuckled casually, didn't say anything, and turned around and left directly.

Jiang Yan looked confused: "I'll go!" Watching Li Yao go out, he added a few words unhappily: "My brain is really broken!" ”

When Qiao Nian took a bath and came down from upstairs, Jiang Yan and Li Yao were no longer in the villa.

Mother Liu was busy in the kitchen, and when she heard Qiao Nian's footsteps coming down from upstairs, she put down the work in her hand and went over: "Madame, drink some chicken soup to fill your stomach first, and then eat lunch directly." ”

"Yes, okay." Qiao Nian answered, went to the kitchen and took a handkerchief, took the lid on the casserole, served a bowl by himself, and didn't go to the restaurant, just stood in the kitchen and scooped it with a spoon, drinking spoonful by spoon.

Liu's mother was already preparing lunch, and there was still a stewed soup for lunch, but it was a medicinal meal stewed with traditional Chinese medicine, and Liu's mother saw Qiao Nian looking at it, so she explained with a smile: "Mr. Jiang said that Mrs. You need to replenish your body, so Mr. asked someone to prescribe some medicinal food according to Mrs. Physique, madam, Mr. is envious of your kindness." ”

Qiao Nian held the bowl, paused, and said after a while: "Does Mother Liu also think that I don't know how to do it?" ”

"What do you say, ma'am?" Mother Liu immediately explained: "Mr. is good to Mrs., I see it in my eyes, just chat with you casually, how can you ...... Besides, madam, you are also very good to your husband! ”

"Oh, tell me, how did I treat him well?"

Liu's mother: "This ......"

She couldn't tell.

All along, Qiao Nian has been indifferent to Li Yao, he is good to her, whether it is the courtesy at the beginning, or the current pampering, Li Yao has always been very good to Qiao Nian, so good that it can't be overstated.

Mother Liu's hesitation also seemed to confirm Qiao Nian's words just now, she really didn't know what to do, and she had never done anything for Li Yao, but she had everything he gave her with peace of mind, and even the response was faint.

"Good manner, what does Madame want to do with this?" Mother Liu hesitated for a while, and immediately changed her words: "Isn't it natural for Mr. to be nice to Mrs.?" Naturally, Madame, you must be good to Mr., otherwise Mr. would not be so good to you. ”

Qiao Nian lowered his eyes and looked at the chicken soup in his hand, and after a while, he drank it in one gulp, then put the bowl and spoon in the sink before asking, "What about Li Yao, did you go to the company?" ”

Mother Liu said: "It should be." ”

Qiao Nian responded, then walked outside and said, "Let's put lunch first, I'll eat out with Li Yao for a while." After saying that, Qiao Nian went out directly.

I drove out of the garage and went directly to the Li Group.

Speaking of which, Qiao Nian has never been to the Li Group, and this is the first time.

The front desk staff was polite to her: "Hello, do you have an appointment?" ”

"I ......" Qiao Nian pondered for a moment, and finally, truthfully, "No." ”

"I'm sorry, I always have to make an appointment first."

Qiao Nian: "Then he's in the company, right?" ”

She wasn't sure and wanted to call Li Yao, but she didn't know what to say, and she just tried her luck when she came to the company.

"I'm sorry, our trip is strictly confidential to the outside world."

People do things according to their job responsibilities, and Qiao Nian can't do anything to people......
