“Oh!”

Ye Jiaqi closed her eyes as she was ready to receive a bump on her head.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Sinian had put his hand on top of the car door, so what she bumped into wasn’t the door but rather the palm of his hand.

Ye Jiaqi rubbed at her forehead, surprised that it didn’t hurt.

She awkwardly looked at Qiao Sinian…

She had to admit that if it weren’t for him, she would be crying in pain at this moment.

Qiao Sinian looked at her with eyes filled with contempt.

“Little lady!” Aunt Lu cried out as she came over, happy to see her.

But no one dared to say too much in front of Qiao Sinian. Even Aunt Lu who was an old member of the house.

“Ah!” Ye Jiaqi smiled.

Three years had passed, and Aunt Lu hadn’t changed much. She still appeared to look the same.

Ye Jiaqi walked over and took Aunt Lu’s hand as she wanted to talk to her.

However, there was a particular person who was like an ice sculpture. He just stood there being cold, hard and obstructive.

Qiao Sinian didn’t speak up. He took large strides in the direction of the Qiao Residence.

Ye Jiaqi looked at his back until he reached far away before she let go of a breath of relief.

“Little lady, I haven’t seen you for such a long time. You’ve gotten prettier again!” Aunt Lu stretched out her hands and complimented her.

“Aunt Lu, you’ve remained youthful too!” Ye Jiaqi said whilst laughing, “And please call me Jiaqi.”

She was no longer the little lady here. Qiao Sinian had only asked her to come because he wanted her to move her stuff out.

She didn’t have anything to take away as nothing here really belonged to her.

She hadn’t brought anything into the house initially and even three years ago when she had left, she had taken nothing.

She thanked Qiao Sinian for offering shelter to her for twelve years, but she never longed for his property and money.

She always has known that Qiao Sinian was rich. But she had liked him, liked him enough to accidentally conceive his child. However, even that wasn’t a reason for her to greed after his property.

However, that call three years ago made her heart completely cold. It turned out that in his eyes, she was just a woman who worked hard to covet his money.

In fact, she was afraid that in his eyes, she was no different from all the other women who wanted to climb into his bed.

As she thought about this, Ye Jiaqi’s heart became increasingly cold.

If it wasn’t for the people she cared about, she would have never come back.

“No, little lady, you are still the lady here. It’s hot outside, let’s go into the living room, it’s much cooler.” Aunt Lu said.

Ye Jiaqi’s face became awkward as she didn’t know how to refute Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu definitely did not know what happened three years ago.

Ye Jiaqi shook her head whilst holding on to Aunt Lu’s hand.

“Aunt Lu, I just came here to see you today. Today is a workday. I have to go back to complete some work. I’ll leave first.”

“Little lady, are you that busy? Didn’t you say that you would eat with us?” Aunt Lu’s eyes were filled with disappointment.

Ye Jiaqi couldn’t bear seeing Aunt Lu sad, but she really did not want to enter the Qiao Residence.

She could only comfort Aunt Lu as said, “Work is really busy at the moment. I’ll come to see you next time. I’m afraid I don’t have time today.”

“Little lady, I haven’t seen you for three years. Are you actually not going to stay for dinner? I made your favorite dishes…”

Aunt Lu was sad.

Ye Jiaqi felt bad for what she said. However, it was awkward for her.

She couldn’t bear to see Aunt Lu sad. She had always treated Aunt Lu as a loved one.

“Little lady, why don’t you call your company? Or let Master Qiao make the call. Master Qiao is so powerful that he will definitely tell your boss to let you stay for a bit.”

Aunt Lu’s eyes were filled with expectation as she was reluctant to let her leave.

Ye Jiaqi gritted her teeth before shaking her head.

“Aunt Lu, I’m sorry. Work is quite… busy.”

She didn’t want to enter the Qiao Residence at all.

In fact, even if she was standing under the scorching sun right now, she would rather stand here than go in.
