Qiao Nuo's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Jin Chengyan on the television screen. He was also staring at the screen, as if they were gazing into each other's eyes across the distance.
She could see his lips forming her name: "Qiao Nuo."
He was telling her in this way that she was the one he was going to marry.
Look, he knew she would be watching from in front of the television, so even making that gesture with his lips was filled with confidence. His gaze seemed to penetrate the screen and reach her.
She quickly turned her face away, avoiding his eyes.
Jin Chengyan was too terrifying.
"Miss Qiao, I'm sorry, but the lawyer is unavailable today. Would you like to reschedule?" The secretary, holding a stack of documents, said apologetically to Qiao Nuo.
Just as Qiao Nuo snapped back to reality from Jin Chengyan's words, she received this news.
But before she could respond, her phone rang.
She was reluctant to pull out that phone in front of others; it felt like blatant flaunting of wealth. Besides, where would Qiao Nuo get the money to show off now?
So even when talking to Qiao Chen, she claimed that the phone was a high imitation; otherwise, what kind of phone would be so... gaudy, adorned with a circle of diamonds?
Qiao Chen thought her sister made a good point and didn't press further about the... crystals on the phone. She just felt that her sister's taste had noticeably declined.
After informing Qiao Nuo, the secretary left.
Qiao Nuo took out her phone and saw that the first shortcut was for Jin Chengyan.
With a stiff expression, she answered the call. Fortunately, his face was no longer on the television; otherwise, it would have felt like talking to him in person.
"Did you see the news?" Jin Chengyan's voice sounded unusually excited.
“……” Qiao Nuo remained silent, pretending she was unaware of the situation.
However, the sound from the television reached Jin Chengyan's ears, perfectly synchronized with what he was hearing, as Qiao Nuo could also hear his voice.
“Where are you?” Jin Chengyan asked casually.
“I’m at…” Qiao Nuo instinctively began to reveal her location, “I don’t want to say.”
But she quickly changed the subject, skillfully avoiding the topic.
“Stop joking around. Everyone knows I’m getting married now, but I don’t have a bride,” Jin Chengyan said with an unprecedented seriousness.
Yet his words, “Stop joking around,” completely threw Qiao Nuo off balance.
Even when he was with Shen Fengye, he rarely spoke sweetly, let alone make light-hearted comments like this. After being together for so long, he and Qiao Nuo both understood each other well enough that such words seemed unnecessary.
But then Qiao Nuo wondered if all the sweet nothings Shen Fengye never said to her were instead directed at Ni Yue.
“Well, that’s your own problem. So many people are waiting to marry you; why do you have to look for me?” Qiao Nuo’s stubbornness flared up.
It was that kind of irritation she couldn’t express to anyone else but felt completely natural in front of Jin Chengyan.
Jin Chengyan thought for a moment and replied, “You’re beautiful and graceful; you can handle both the living room and the kitchen… The last part still needs verification. Overall, you’re indeed a great candidate for marriage.”
As he spoke, it seemed even the corners of his eyes lifted with amusement.
Qiao Nuo felt her ears growing warm at his words.
“Go to Ying Shi Law Firm,” Jin Chengyan instructed the driver directly.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Nuo realized that was where she currently was. How did Jin Chengyan know?
“Stay there and don’t move. Do you believe I’ve installed a tracking system on you?” Before Qiao Nuo could respond, he hung up the phone.
Qiao Nuo held her phone, feeling completely bewildered.
In the black Bentley, Jin Chengyan hung up the phone, his smile still intact. A Shan, sitting in the passenger seat, could see this clearly in the rearview mirror.
"Swallow what you want to say," Jin Chengyan seemed to anticipate A Shan's words and spoke first.
A Shan nodded silently but couldn't help himself and said, "You seemed very happy during that call. That girl must make you happy."
Jin Chengyan didn't get angry at A Shan for contradicting him; instead, he replied, "No, A Shan, you don't understand."
A Shan chose not to press further, but his current understanding was that the young master was happy talking to that girl, while his conversation with Miss Ruan had been completely indifferent.
