Seeing that Qiao Nian had already kept the medicine, he didn't continue harping on the topic. Instead, he warned in concern, "You shouldn't eat too much of such medicine. Take just one tablet if you really can't sleep at night. Otherwise, avoid taking it at all."
"Sure."
This wasn't the first time Qiao Nian was eating such pills. She knew full well what it was about and easily agreed.
Having gotten what she wanted, she picked up her bag and was ready to leave.
Wei Lou stopped her. "Where are you heading?"
"Home," Qiao Nian casually said.
Wei Lou frowned. "Where's your home? Didn't the Qiao family chase you out?"
He recalled his conversation with Qiao Nian over the phone and eyed her. "You mean, you're going to live with your biological parents?"
Qiao Nian didn't like him coming so close and couldn't help but take a step back. She then admitted, "Mm."
Wei Lou saw that she'd staggered backward slightly. He felt bad about it but was helpless as well, so he simply pretended not to have noticed it. After all, out of sight, out of mind. "You hung up on me earlier because you were having a meal with your biological relatives? So, you've met them. What are they like?"
Qiao Nian recalled and then said, "I didn't interact with them, so I'm not sure. I only saw my biological father. It seems like my biological mother has passed on. I'm not sure about the cause, but I'll find out. Besides that... Grandpa is very nice to me."
"Grandpa..." Wei Lou could tell from the way she addressed them that while she wasn't ready to acknowledge her biological parents, she had already accepted this grandpa of hers.
Wei Lou's heart sank as he asked very seriously, "You're going to stay and find out about your background?"
Qiao Nian had no idea why he was always asking the same question. But she nodded patiently, anyway. "Mm. I need to know my roots at least — who I am and where I come from."
This was a valid reason!
As much as Wei Lou wanted to take her away, he couldn't. He knitted his brows together. "Are you intending to follow your biological father to Luohe County, then?"
