Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Alone in a Room

Chapter 63 -63 Alone in a Room

The lights in the office suddenly went out, and Nan Qiao panicked, falling into a warm embrace.

Li Yehan held Nan Qiao, his voice soothing, softly whispering, “Don’t be afraid.”

Nan Qiao indeed feared the darkness because she had been locked in a dark room as a child, and since then, she had been afraid of environments without light.

Because it was summer, the temperature was very high.

The air conditioning was on in the office, the curtains were drawn, and the streetlights outside couldn’t shine in, making the room dark and chilling.

Nan Qiao clutched Li Yehan’s arm.

Li Yehan could feel her frantic emotions accompanied by a certain fear.

Li Yehan embraced her, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to draw the curtains.

There will be light, and you won’t have to fear.”

Nan Qiao bit her teeth, trying her best to suppress the fear within her heart, slowly following Li Yehan to the window.

The curtains were drawn, and the light from outside seeped in, slightly easing Nan Qiao’s tense mood.

Slowly raising her head, with the help of the streetlights, she saw Li Yehan’s resolute chin.

As she looked up, he looked down, their gazes collided, and Nan Qiao saw the full concern in his eyes.

“I’ll go open the door, let’s go back first.”

Li Yehan, worried that Nan Qiao’s emotions might collapse, took her hand and led her to the office door.

“The door has been locked.” Li Yehan frowned, surprisingly not noticing there was a problem with the door lock.

Li Yehan took out his phone, “There’s a signal jammer here.”

Nan Qiao frowned, glancing at Li Yehan.

Without her saying anything, Li Yehan could feel Nan Qiao’s cursing temper.

Li Yehan gave a helpless smile, “Do you think I would use such a low tactic to be alone with you?

I may not be a good person, but I wouldn’t do that to you.”

Nan Qiao was taken aback, looking around, still pondering who could do such a shameless thing to her.

Using the light from outside, Nan Qiao packed everything into her bag.

“Li Yehan, stand back.”

Nan Qiao lifted her right foot, ready to kick the door.

Li Yehan grabbed her arm, “You stand aside, I’ll do it.”

How could a woman be the one to kick open a door when a man was present.

Nan Qiao stood aside while Li Yehan’s right foot violently kicked the door.

Boom!

The sound of collapsing filled the air as Nan Qiao watched the sturdy door fall to the ground.

“Let’s go.”

Li Yehan took Nan Qiao’s hand, leading her to the entrance of the company.

The door here, too, was locked.

There was a smell of gasoline outside.

Li Yehan knew that they must leave this place quickly.

“I’ll take you out first.” Li Yehan made a move as if to kick the door.

Nan Qiao, “First, let go of my hand, I’ll do it.”

The door was made of glass; kicking it open would be too dangerous.

Glass shards would scatter, surely injuring someone.

Li Yehan stood aside as Nan Qiao took a hairpin from her hair and fiddled with the lock for a few moments, and the lock opened.

“I didn’t expect you to be able to pick locks.”

“There’s a lot I can do.” Nan Qiao stood up, re-clipping the hairpin in her hair as if it were a weapon she carried with her.

Li Yehan, arms crossed and leaning against the wall, watched her with a devil-may-care demeanor.

Even in the darkness, his handsomeness was evident.

“You do indeed know quite a lot, like…

sneaking peeks at me.”

Nan Qiao’s face flushed as she stepped forward and walked on.

Li Yehan quickly grasped Nan Qiao’s hand, walking in front of her, ensuring her safety.

With such an incident occurring, who knew what more dangerous things might happen next?

Li Yehan had to ensure Nan Qiao’s safety!

The two of them made their way down the stairs, arriving at the underground parking lot.

The parking lot was quiet, with the two walking through it as if navigating an obstacle course.

Even as they sat in the car, Li Yehan was still concerned for Nan Qiao’s safety.

“Where’s your bodyguard?”

Nan Qiao: …

Uncle Dao and Uncle Qin had something to do today; Nan Qiao had sent them on an errand, and they hadn’t returned yet.

“They took the day off,” Nan Qiao said, deadpanning.

Li Yehan made an “Oh” sound that was laden with meaning, giving Nan Qiao the illusion that he could see right through her.

Nan Qiao quickly collected herself.

She felt as if Li Yehan could see right through her.

Li Yehan said, “I’ll drive you home.”

Nan Qiao nodded, “Thank you.”

Nan Qiao sat in the passenger seat while Li Yehan drove.

During the drive, Li Yehan noticed Nan Qiao had fallen asleep.

He parked the car on the side, took off his coat, and draped it over Nan Qiao before he continued driving.

When they reached the Bai Family’s doorstep, Li Yehan did not get out of the car, waiting instead for Nan Qiao to wake up.

…

Chen Xinwan came out of the kitchen with a food container in hand, intending to slip away when Bai Zhenyang came downstairs.

“Why are you here?” Chen Xinwan was startled.

Bai Zhenyang: “Qiaoqiao is my daughter; how could I not care for her?

She didn’t come home tonight, and I don’t know if she had dinner.

I was planning to bring her some food.”

Chen Xinwan laughed, “So was I.

Let’s go together.”

The couple were about to leave when they heard the elevator arrive.

They quickly hid behind a desk.

Grandpa Bai came out of the elevator and headed to the kitchen.

Shortly, he too emerged with a food container in hand.

Just as Grandpa Bai was about to leave, he also heard the elevator, and after a quick look around, he hid behind the desk.

And so, the three of them met. freewёbnoνel.com

We looked at each other, eye to eye, in startled silence.

At that moment, Bai Jingrui also came out of the elevator and headed to the kitchen.

Soon after, Bai Jingrui came out with a food container as well.

Since they were all bringing food for Qiaoqiao, there was no need for stealth.

Grandpa Bai, Bai Zhenyang, and Chen Xinwan gave up the act and showed themselves.

“Grandpa, Mom, Dad, are you also bringing food for Qiaoqiao?”

Grandpa Bai: “Lao San, I didn’t expect you to be this thoughtful.”

Bai Jingrui: “Grandpa, you underestimate me.

Although Qiaoqiao had just come back and I haven’t lived with her for long, she once saved my life and she’s my sister.

Of course, I want to treat her well.”

Bai Zhenyang: “Not bad, quite responsible, much better than your two brothers.”

Chen Xinwan: “Those two rascals haven’t returned yet.

When they do, we’ll set them up with a full day of blind dates, followed by a day of shopping with Qiaoqiao!”

What Chen Xinwan mentioned were all things that the two older brothers disliked doing.

Bai Jingrui’s eyes lit up at the thought: “Mom, you’re brilliant!

This is great, really great!

I’m so looking forward to it!”

Bai Zhenyang: “Let’s hurry up and take the food to Qiaoqiao.

My daughter must be hungry.

And who knows whether the food outside suits her taste?

This child can really endure hardship.”

The family chatted noisily as they left, only thinking about bringing food to Nan Qiao right away.

As they stepped out, the butler arrived.

“The young miss has returned.”

“What!” The group exclaimed in unison.

Their faces were all alight with joyful smiles.

“Where is she?

Where’s Qiaoqiao?”

Chen Xinwan: “My daughter, where is she?

She’s back, so why hasn’t she come in yet?

Is she in the basement?”

Butler: “The young miss has returned, but she’s still in the car and hasn’t gotten out.

Mr.

Li brought her back, and the two have been sitting in the car, not getting out.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was thrown into a panic.

Especially Bai Zhenyang, he certainly didn’t want anyone poaching their family’s precious cabbage!

The group hastened to the doorway…
