Chapter 2624 Wasn’t It Because Lu Zhi Had Lunch Too?

Qiao Nian only wore a thin T-shirt in this hot weather. Fortunately, the sleeves were long enough to cover her arms, so she did not look so thin.

However, she was still wearing thinner clothes than normal. Everyone else had put on a coat, but she was not wearing one. She only wore a baseball cap as she walked boldly, looking extremely arrogant.

“Miss Qiao is out.” Gu San was waiting for her outside. His sharp eyes captured her walking out of the research institute, and he immediately turned to report to the man beside him.

Ye Wangchuan picked up a cardigan and walked towards the girl.

“When does he not stare at Sister Qiao? Tsk!” Qin Si, the otaku, also followed him out. He tactfully did not go over to be a third wheel.

Gu San did not dare to say that. He played dead with a straight face and pretended not to hear.

Qin Si glanced at him. “What? It’s just us here. You don’t have to take it so seriously, right?”

Gu San’s chest was hit by his elbow. He looked down and said, “I’m afraid Master Wang will kill you if he hears it.”

Qin Si was speechless. He was speaking facts, he actually could not refute him!

After all, when Ye Wangchuan was ruthless, it would take a lot for him to vent.

Qin Si rubbed his chin and turned to look at the person pretending to be stupid. “Are you going to complain?”

“I didn’t say that.” Gu San played the fool.

Qin Si cursed. “You can’t cause trouble. I still want to live for a few more years.”

Be it Master Wang or Sister Qiao, which of them was someone he could afford to offend? He did not want to court death!

…

On the other side.

Ye Wangchuan helped the girl with her shoulder bag. Then, he handed her the cardigan. “It’s cold at night. Put on a jacket. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

“Uh.” Qiao Nian was feeling hot. She wished she could change into a short-sleeved shirt and drink a bottle of iced Coke.

However, upon seeing the cardigan, she slowly took it. Instead of immediately putting it on, she looked at him and asked, “Why are you here?”

Ye Wangchuan raised his eyebrows slightly as if asking: I can’t come?

Qiao Nian saw through him and quickly added, “Didn’t I send you a message saying that you don’t have to pick me up? I’ll go back by myself. I thought you wouldn’t come, and you didn’t tell me you were coming…”

Ye Wangchuan couldn’t help but smile. He held her hand and put it in his coat pocket, then led her across the road. “I’ll take you to dinner.”

Qiao Nian was distracted for a moment when he grabbed her hand, so she was a little late to react. “Huh?”

Why did he suddenly insist on bringing her to dinner?

“I guessed that you didn’t eat much at the banquet, so I came to pick you up and bring you to a good place with spicy chicken.” The man’s thin lips curled up slightly, and his tone was as soothing as the gurgling of a spring.

“Oh.”

Qiao Nian glanced at him from the corner of her eye and took it that that was the case. She did not ask him if he had come to pick her up early because he had heard that Lu Zhi had also gone for lunch.

She had a clear conscience about him. There was nothing to explain. Some things were made worse with redundant explanations.

“I found the password to the USB drive.” She remembered that her efforts over the past few days had come to fruition. She was in a good mood and shared the good news with him. “But I have to go back and verify it.”
