On the way back to the villa from the science museum, Han Wang’s indifferent attitude toward him...
Pei Ya imdiately felt like his heart was breaking. He clutched his chest and feigned pain, saying, "Boss, can’t you hope sothing good for ? Why do you have to crush my confidence? Have you stopped loving ?"
Before Qiao Yun could say anything, Li Hanzhou resolutely told him, "That’s right. The person she loves is ."
Pei Ya: "..."
Go ahead, world, just end!
Pei Ya stood up, looking existentially defeated.
Qiao Yun glanced at him in confusion, her eyes silently asking what was wrong.
Pei Ya sighed deeply and lanted, "Won’s hearts are like needles at the bottom of the ocean. They’re way too hard to figure out. I still have a lot to learn."
As he said this, his gaze fell on Li Hanzhou. With an admiring look, he said, "I used to underestimate you."
Considering how unpredictable soone as straightforward as Han Wang could be, it must be even harder to fathom Qiao Yun. Li Hanzhou, who always seed to know what Qiao Yun was thinking, genuinely deserved so credit.
He muttered softly, "Could this be what it ans to be a match made in heaven?"
Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, graciously accepting this complint without a sliver of modesty.
"If you want to know what she’s thinking, you can ask her yourself."
Qiao Yun wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about matters of the heart, so she couldn’t offer Pei Ya any worthwhile advice.
"Mm." Pei Ya absentmindedly nodded. Not wanting to stick around as the third wheel, he headed upstairs.
After Pei Ya left, Qiao Yun asked Li Hanzhou in puzzlent, "Is dating really that complicated?"
In her understanding, dating was straightforward: like soone, and you accept it; don’t like soone, and you reject it.
"You’re different," Li Hanzhou said with a slight smile. After all, not everyone was as candid and decisive as Qiao Yun.
Qiao Yun gave a noncommittal "oh," then took out her phone, which had been buzzing non-stop.
In just that short mont, Qiao Si had already sent her dozens of ssages.
Qiao Yun was slightly speechless. She responded seriously: [I’m not Little One. If you call that again, I won’t talk to you.]
Qiao Si: [...]
...
Pei Ya went upstairs. When he passed by Han Wang’s room, his steps paused.
After a few seconds, he raised his hand as if to knock on the door, but after so thought, he lowered it again. Then, looking confused, he went back to his room to deal with work.
Even though he had flown thousands of miles for love, he still had responsibilities to handle.
As for Han Wang...
He wasn’t in a hurry at all. After all, she wasn’t going anywhere.
Besides, truth be told, he was kind of enjoying this chase, this push-and-pull dynamic.
With a serious expression, Pei Ya wondered: Could it be that he actually had masochistic tendencies?
anwhile, Han Wang was in a foul mood.
Earlier, watching Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou getting along so well, she had actually felt a pang of envy. For a fleeting mont, she even thought that maybe having soone enter her life wouldn’t be entirely awful.
It was a thought she’d never had before.
Han Wang figured she needed to calm down. Perhaps the recent flurry of events had ssed with her mind.
So she heartlessly dragged the Han brothers out to vent her frustrations on them.
The Han brothers, who were suddenly burdened with a mountain of assignnts, were left bewildered and innocent.
...
Elsewhere, Andrew received a report from his subordinates.
According to their investigation, they hadn’t done anything to offend Qiao Si recently. However, Qiao Si had been spotted at the science museum earlier today, and coincidentally, Nolan had been there too. They speculated that this might have sothing to do with Nolan.
Upon hearing the report, Andrew was even more surprised.
Wasn’t Nolan supposed to be apologizing to Xiya?
How did he get involved with Qiao Si?
Besides, Andrew trusted that Nolan was soone who understood boundaries. Knowing who Qiao Si was, how could he have gotten into any trouble with him?
Perhaps Qiao Si had so other reason to target them?
Andrew thought about it and decided to call You’en for help.
"I’ll ask for you, but I won’t handle it for you," You’en said in a lazy tone, clearly irritating Andrew.
"You’en, even though you’ve gained independence now, the Andrew Family is still your ho no matter what."
"Father, we’re talking about Qiao Si here. If you’ve truly offended him, even adding into the mix won’t save the situation."
You’en wasn’t wrong. Andrew cald down slightly. "Let’s figure out what’s going on first."
A quiet laugh ca from the other end of the call. "Maybe this really is a ss Nolan caused."
"Impossible," Andrew said firmly. "Your brother may be unreliable, but when it cos to matters like this, he understands better than you how to uphold the family’s honor."
"Let’s hope you’re right," You’en said before hanging up.
Andrew didn’t dwell on You’en’s remark. He had complete faith that Nolan wouldn’t ss up on sothing like this.
Yet, while Andrew was still fretting over the matter, a video suddenly erged online that night. It claid Nolan had been seen entering an ergency room.
Given that the buzz surrounding Nolan hadn’t died down yet, this new video instantly grabbed the attention of countless gossip-hungry netizens.
[Why would soone perfectly fine suddenly end up in the ergency room? Don’t tell he couldn’t take it anymore and decided to commit suicide? If so, serves him right.]
The person who posted the video quickly refuted: [That’s impossible. I saw him covered in injuries. It looks like he was beaten up.]
Netizens were stunned to learn the truth.
Nolan got beaten up?
Soone actually dared to assault Nolan?
Even though many people despised Nolan, he was still a mber of the Andrew Family. Who could’ve managed to lay a finger on him?
The incident was so extraordinary that the hashtag #NolanBeatenUp trended imdiately.
Countless netizens began speculating about who had beaten up Nolan and their reasons for doing so.
Could it have been so righteous soul fed up with Nolan’s behavior?
Amidst the waves of speculation, a new exposé surfaced.
