Liang Bowen had already opened the App Store. Upon hearing what she said, he was about to ask, 'Then how did you download it?'
But seeing how bothered Qiao Nian was now, he quietly swallowed his words.
He was standing there with no idea how to comfort Qiao Nian. After some deliberation, he said, "Sister Nian, I don't think Chen Yuan is the sort to mix around with those people. It's only been three months, he can't possibly be hanging out at the bar. There must be some kind of misunderstanding."
Qiao Nian kept this at the back of her head, took a deep breath, and said, "We'll talk when we get back."
With this unresolved issue, Qiao Nian was distracted throughout the meal.
The good thing was that Ye Lan was the same. She was just as distracted.
Qiao Nian could sense that Ye Lan was looking at her, but she couldn't be bothered to ask what was going on. She barely took two mouthfuls before putting her chopsticks down.
After the whole meal, Ye Lan talked to them for a bit before leaving as something cropped up at work.
Before she left, she recalled the thing in her bag. She looked at Qiao Nian with a complicated expression before saying warmly, "Nian Nian, congratulations on getting into Qing University! I was going to bring you a congratulatory gift, but I forgot it in my rush."
She had brought it, and it was just lying in her bag. She simply had no courage to take it out.
This was something Qiao Nian ate like it was chewing gum. How could she have the face to wrap it up like a gift and present it to her like that?
Moreover, Qiao Nian wasn't just anybody. She was the Ye family's benefactor. She was also her future niece-in-law whom she already acknowledged now. It was important to get her an appropriate gift. If this didn't work, she would just get her something else.
Ye Lan was firm and stern outside, but extremely nice to Qiao Nian now. "When you come to Beijing again next time, I'll get you a house."
Qiao Nian was confused.
