Qiao Nian's eyes darkened. "Not for the time being."
She had risked her life with Lu Zhi and Jian Jin, so Qiao Nian had never thought that they would hide something from her.
She did not expect them to not tell her about the K Organization's existence and its relations.h.i.+p with her mother's death.
It did not feel good to be betrayed by someone she trusted.
At least she did not want to mention it now, but if he wanted to know, she could tell him.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan looked at the girl's quiet side profile and slightly pursed lips. He gently lifted the girl's hair and said lazily, "Then I won't ask."
Qiao Nian subconsciously turned to look at him.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan straightened her neck. "Sit properly and don't move. Be careful not to get burned."
Qiao Nian's eyes flickered. "You exposed your involvement with Dark Fort this time. Don't you want to know why the reclusive families arrested Lu Zhi?"
Tian Chen and Dark Fort also had business conflicts in Continent F.
She thought that Ye w.a.n.gchuan would at least ask her.
Unexpectedly, the man's tone was clear and gentle. "I'll listen to you when you want to tell me. Besides, I'm not helping Lu Zhi. I'm just helping my girlfriend out. It has nothing to do with him."
Other than the Ye family's foundation, it was undeniable that Ye w.a.n.gchuan also could surpa.s.s his peers.
Such a person was definitely not soft-hearted!
He had an ordinary relations.h.i.+p with Lu Zhi.
If not for the fact that Qiao Nian and Lu Zhi knew each other when they were young and had a life-and-death relations.h.i.+p, he would not have cared about his life.
Did Lu Zhi's life and death have anything to do with him?
If Lu Zhi was unfortunately gone, he would at most tell Ji Lin to send Tian Chen a gift.
Other than that, it had nothing to do with him.
Qiao Nian lowered her eyes. "Thank you."
Ye w.a.n.gchuan suddenly narrowed his eyes and stopped drying her hair. He said dangerously, "I'll go back on my word if you speak up for him again."
Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment before looking at him with her beautiful eyes. "Are you jealous?"
"G.o.ddess Qiao is quite sharp." Ye w.a.n.gchuan faced her frankly and gave a fake smile.
Qiao Nian touched the tip of her nose and stared at him with a headache. After staring at him for a few seconds, she said, "My relations.h.i.+p with Lu Zhi is not what you think."
"I know."
Ye w.a.n.gchuan was not a fool. Of course, he knew that she did not have that kind of relations.h.i.+p with Lu Zhi. At least, she only treated him as a friend.
As for what Lu Zhi thought…
Ye w.a.n.gchuan sneered. For a man who did not even dare to pursue the person he liked, would his thoughts matter?
His fingertips were cold and slender, like suet jade. He made the girl sit down again and started drying her hair again. "Are you sure you don't want to wait for him to wake up?"
"Mm."
Qiao Nian responded.
The warm breeze from the hairdryer tickled her neck and made her a little sleepy.
She narrowed her eyes and enjoyed a moment of peace. Pursing her red lips, she said in a low voice, "I'll be 20 in three months."
Ye w.a.n.gchuan was so angry that he laughed. He curled his thin lips and said, "Do you know what people used to do to make the donkey work more?
"They'd tie a rope with a carrot dangling in the front of it.
"The carrot will keep swaying in front of the donkey's eyes. The donkey would be attracted to the carrot in front, so it would keep moving forward."
