This wasn't the first time Ye Wangchuan sent her to the research institute. He knew the way there by heart.
In less than twenty minutes, he parked the car steadily on the road opposite the research institute and watched as the girl unbuckled her seatbelt, grabbed her shoulder bag, and got out of the car.
He rolled down the window and said very naturally, "I'll pick you up in the afternoon."
Having just closed the door, Qiao Nian turned around and frowned. She was about to say that there was no need, but she changed her words. "Okay."
The phone in her pocket vibrated as soon as she finished speaking.
Qiao Nian took it out and looked down at the screen.
It was Xue Zhu.
She didn't pick up.
She waved at the man in the car and then coolly walked towards the research institute. "I'm going in."
Ye Wangchuan watched as the girl entered the research institute. Then, he rolled up the window, turned the car around, and drove away.
