Qiao Nian only raised her eyelids. She had thin eyelids and extremely dark pupils. When she looked at people, she appeared indifferent and wicked, as if she was wild and untamable.
"Five years."
Her tone was casual and loose.
It cut off all conversation.
Shen Jingyan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start a conversation for a while. Fortunately, the waiter brought him the coffee. He took a sip and eased his sorrow a little, then looked at her again.
He seemed to consider his tone, and said slowly, "I heard your parents talk about what happened in the past six months..."
Qiao Nian's motion of stirring the drink paused for a second, and she raised her eyes to look at him.
Shen Jingyan felt as if her light gaze was piercing through him, and he almost dodged her sight. But after all, he had seen the world and was not someone like Qiao Weimin who dealt with business circles all day long.
In the blink of an eye, he calmed down and smiled apologetically. "I was in Beijing before, busy with many things in the past few years, so I didn't have time to see you in Rao City. I don't know what happened during that time. If I had known, I would have scolded your mom, and not let them do such foolish things..."
Qiao Nian threw away the spoon with her slender white hand and leaned back on the chair. Her dark eyes looked at him like a dot of ink, and she asked casually, "Qiao Weimin asked you to talk about this?"
Her attitude didn't seem easy to re-conciliate with!
Shen Jingyan's heart twitched, telling him instinctively that the recent events were not as simple as his own sister said, and there might be inside stories.
At least he had been in contact with Qiao Nian before. She looked cold on the outside but was not that unsympathetic inside.
She was very tolerant of the people she cared about.
