Chapter 309 - Even Gave Her a Gift

When Shen Jingyan saw her standing up, he was not surprised. “Are you leaving?”

The phone vibrated again. Qiao Nian didn’t look at it this time, just tapped her jaw slightly and said, “Something cropped up.”

Shen Jingyan stretched his body, put his hands on the chair, and leaned back to look at her. “I just watched you looking at your mobile phone. Is your family urging you?” He smiled.

Her family?

Qiao Nian’s eyes were very beautiful, and whether they were raised or down, her eyelashes were long like a fan, which happened to restrain the emotions in her eyes.

Shen Jingyan saw her red lips curl up, and she replied casually, “Yeah.”

He picked up his jacket and stood up, digging out his wallet, and walking ahead. “Let’s go, I’ll pay the bill first. You wait for me outside, and I’ll drive you home.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the counter, the waiter told him that Qiao Nian had already paid for the bill.

Shen Jingyan was a little surprised. This café was not cheap, and he and Qiao Nian had each ordered a cup that cost about 300 yuan. It was nothing to him, but for Qiao Nian, a high school girl, 300 yuan should be considered a big amount.

After a short daze, he took out 300 yuan from his wallet and handed it to Qiao Nian. “When did you buy the bill? I didn’t know. Take this. I asked you to come out with me, how could I let you pay?”

Qiao Nian didn’t take the money and asked him to keep it well. Her face was still unrestrained as she said, “No need, Uncle Shen. Keep the money. I still have a little bit of money, enough for me to spend.”

At least she had the money to treat him to a drink!

Seeing that she insisted on not accepting it, Shen Jingyan reluctantly put the money back in his wallet. He said with a reproachful look, “… I originally asked you out, but you ended up treating me.”

He quickly relaxed his brows, then took out a small box from his pocket, smiling. “By the way, I almost forgot this.”

He handed the small box to Qiao Nian and said gently, “This is a gift I brought you.”

As if afraid that she wouldn’t accept it, he added, “Accept it! This gift was carefully selected by me. You’ll definitely like it.”

Before coming, he had heard about the Qiao Family’s affairs on the phone. Hence, he had asked someone to purchase something for her before he left.

He was confident in the gift he bought and believed that after seeing it, Qiao Nian would have a good impression of the Shen Family.

After all… no girl would dislike this gift!

“Don’t care too much about the price of it, just keep it well. Girls should have such things.”

He was full of self-confidence, and after stuffing the box into her hands, he changed the topic with a smile. “You’re going home, right? I’ll send you.”

He was even more sincere about sending her home now.

Qiao Nian was indeed decent and generous, countless times better than Chen Chen. If she could go back to Beijing with him and be used by their Shen Family in the future, it would definitely be a profitable business for him.

It was a pity that Qiao Nian didn’t give him a chance to get closer. She raised the phone in her hand and said, “I’ve called a driver already, I won’t trouble you.”

Shen Jingyan originally wanted to take the opportunity of sending her home to talk to her about going to Beijing again. Hearing this, he couldn’t insist further.

…

Qiao Nian came out of the coffee shop and waited on the side of the road for a while before the online ride-hailing car arrived.

She opened the door and got into the car.

She told the driver the location in her hoarse voice.

“Cheng Feng Corporation.”

“Ok.”

The car drove away.

On the way, Qiao Nian raised her brows and glanced at the gift box that Shen Jingyan had just forced into her hands. Instead of opening it, she first read the two latest messages Ye Qichen had just sent to her.
