After Qiao Nian was done replying to the Red Alliance, she went down to get some water as she was thirsty.
When she went down, she saw that Ye Wangchuan was on a call with someone. His voice was lowered. "They doubled their offer? They're rich. Don't reply to them and keep them hanging… Wait for them to increase their offer again…
"Since when did I agree to their offer? Just leave them hanging. I'll decide if I feel like it."
He saw that she was heading down and then continued, "That's it. Handle the rest yourself."
When Qiao Nian came down, he hung up the phone. He saw the cup that Qiao Nian was holding. He put his phone aside and said, "There's milk in the fridge, let me heat it for you."
Qiao Nian didn't want milk, but he had gone to the kitchen already. She could only wait for him to get the milk.
As she waited, she thought about who he was calling.
