Qiao Nian had never seen the girl selling beverages before and thought that she really was an auntie. She pursed her lips and ruffled his hair. "Good boy."
Ye Qichen's cheeks and ears went red, and he dared not look her in the eye. He tugged at his clothes with his little hands with a pure expression. Upon seeing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but say, "Nian Nian, why do I feel like Chen Chen is a secret admirer of yours?"
The way he blushed and looked so shy when he spoke to this big sister made it seem like he was speaking to a crush or lover.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He looked at Qiao Nian's fatally attractive face and then at Ye Qichen's abashed expression. Something strange stirred inside him, and he leaned forward as if to receive validation. "Master Wang, look at Chen Chen. Do you think he might be Nian Nian's secret admirer?"
Ye Wangchuan raised a brow and looked into the rearview mirror at the child and adolescent talking non-stop. He sounded happy as he said, "He's not secretly admiring her."
"Oh, I must be overthinking things, then." Jiang Li trusted Ye Wangchuan's judgment better. He felt more at ease upon hearing this reply.
It was bad enough that this adult here wanted his precious sister. If even the child was vying for her, how could he take it lying down?!
But Ye Wangchuan's following statement made his heart go cold again.
"He's admiring her openly!"
Jiang Li was speechless.
Gu San fanned the flames. As he drove, he added, "That's right, Young Master Jiang. Little Young Master had said before that he'd marry Miss Qiao when he grows up. I think this is way more explicit than a secret admirer would do it."
A secret admirer wouldn't confess his liking for a girl every single day.
But on the topic of secret admirers... he discreetly glanced at the man beside him. It was a subtle movement, and he quickly retracted his gaze.
If they were talking about Miss Qiao's secret admirers, this Master Wang over here was more like one!
Jiang Li's facial muscles tensed up and he smiled a little awkwardly. "Marry her? He still has 20 years to go!"
