Ji Nan picked up the jacket on the back of the chair and said gentlemanly, "1'11 send you back."
Qiao Nian's phone kept vibrating at a small frequency. She wanted to go back and talk about it, but she was annoyed by the vibrating phone. A thick layer of surliness appeared under her eyes. She picked up her phone with one hand and started typing again.
Ji Nan saw how quickly she wrote the text message.
Seeing that Qiao Nian was busy, he considerately didn't rush her. With the coat draped over his arm, he stood there patiently, waiting for her to finish writing her message.
Five minutes later, the girl finally 'replied'. She picked up her cap, pulled out the chair, and stood up. "I'll go pay the bill."
Seeing that she was done with her work, Ji Nan called out to her, "SN, the security in the Independent Continent is not better than in Jing City. It's not safe for you to go back alone. Let me send you back."
"There's no need." Qiao Nian put on her cap and refused.
However, Ji Nan was exceptionally persistent. He restrained his smile and said with a serious expression, "I'm telling you the truth. The Independent Continent is not safe. I'm worried about you going back alone. Let me send you back."
Qiao Nian twirled her cap around her wrist. She hadn't put it on yet. Hearing his words, she fell silent, raised her eyelids, and finally took a step back. "Alright."
Ji Nan watched her as she went to pay the bill.
His phone on the table rang at this moment.
Ji Nan walked over and picked it up. He lowered his eyes to take a look and dropped his smile. He picked up the call. "Hello, Mom."
He looked up in Qiao Nian's direction and only saw the girl's tall and arrogant back. Ji Nan retracted his gaze and said, "I'm eating outside with a friend."
"A female friend?" Ji Nan rubbed his temples. "No, you don't know her. She's an online friend of mine. I've known her for a few years. I've never met her before, but we're very close. She's no different from a friend in real life."
The other end of the phone said something, but he quickly denied it. "No, we're not in the relationship you think we are. She went to the bar to counter the bill. Forget about the photo."
