2258 Sister Nian: Please Control Yourself, Young Master Ye
Qiao Nian put down her phone.
At this moment, Ye Wangchuan had already come down. He walked to the girl and unscrewed the bottle for her, then handed it over. “What time are we going to the Imperial Mansion tonight?”
Qiao Nian slowly took the bottle from him, still immersed in what Yuan Yongqin told her. Not even looking up, she lazily replied, “Six-thirty.”
Previously, she was not sure what time she would arrive, so she made an appointment with Old Master Jiang at seven in the evening. It was just right for them to go half an hour early.
Ye Wangchuan nodded as he looked at the girl. His voice was slightly hoarse as he asked, “Should I buy a gift for Grandpa?”
Qiao Nian looked up at him in confusion.
Ye Wangchuan’s eyes seemed to be filled with smoke. They were beautiful and bright, and there was a smile on his thin lips. “After all, it’s not easy for an ugly daughter-in-law to meet her in-laws. I think I should perform. Goddess Qiao, will you accompany me to pick a gift later?”
Qiao Nian was speechless.
Ye Wangchuan pushed her hair away from her brow bone. In a good mood, he teased, “Or are you planning to be irresponsible and abandon me?”
His cold fingers brushed past the girl’s eyebrows.
A spark on his fingertip seemed to ignite, like a prairie fire.
Qiao Nian felt a surge of heat in her heart. She tilted her neck and avoided his hand, then replied in a slightly hoarse voice, “I never said I wasn’t responsible.”
“Then… Goddess Qiao, will you accompany me to pick a gift for Grandpa later?” Ye Wangchuan smiled and pushed his luck.
Qiao Nian looked up at him quickly. “You…”
Ye Wangchuan generously let her look.
Qiao Nian stared at him for a while before looking away, then, “I’m still a year away from turning 20.”
She had already celebrated her 19th birthday. She was still a year away from 20.
Ye Wangchuan calculated this day in his heart every day. Of course, he knew what she was talking about. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “I know.”
Qiao Nian stood up and walked past him with the water bottle. Her lazy voice floated in the air after she calmed down. “You said that you would wait for a year. I’ll have to trouble Young Master Ye to control himself this year and not harass me.”
Ye Wangchuan looked at her back as she went to the kitchen to get milk. He did not come back to his senses for a long time. When he lowered his head, a faint smile split on his face. His doting expression was simply…
He had never thought that his actions would be classified as… harassment!
In the past, he had never thought that he would harass others.
However… His gaze landed on the girl’s red earlobes. Although she was walking quickly and her back view was cool, he seemed to understand something…
He tried his best not to look stupid with a smile. “I’ll go find Gu San.”
The people in the kitchen seemed to ignore him.
Ye Wangchuan smiled and calmly went to get Gu San to prepare the car.

Before Qiao Nian and the others went to the Imperial Mansion, they went to the mall to buy some gifts for Old Master Jiang.
Qiao Nian also bought things for Ye Maoshan and Ye Lan.
There was also Yuan Yongqin and Nie Mi.
Gu San was burdened with seven to eight bags. Fortunately, the car was parked outside. He placed everything in the trunk and only placed the gifts that Ye Wangchuan wanted to give Old Master Jiang and Jiang Zongjin in the front seat.
Half an hour later.
The car arrived at the Imperial Mansion.
It was exactly 6:40 PM.
The private room that Jiang Zongjin had booked was in the Hibiscus Hall.
The private room was already filled with people when Qiao Nian arrived.
Jiang Zongjin, Jiang Zongnan, Jiang Yao, and Jiang Li were all there, except for Tang Wanru.
Old Master Jiang had not arrived yet.
