In a private room.
Qiao Nian had just entered when Ji Nan called her.
She stopped and walked to the side to answer the call. "Hello."
Ji Nan asked. "Are you still in Continent M?"
It was the evening rush hour in Lan Pavilion. The waiters passed by from ti to ti, making it a little noisy.
Qiao Nian walked to the relatively quiet washroom and turned on the tap to wash her hands. She put the phone between her shoulder and cheek before asking, "What's wrong?"
Ji Nan smiled. "In two days, my father and I will be going to Continent M on business. I thought that since you're here too, I'd ask you out for a al. So, is Sun free to co?"
Qiao Nian turned off the tap in a daze. She took out a tissue from the side and wiped her hands. Crumpled the tissue into a ball, she threw it into the trash can, pursed her lips, and said, "Why are you going to Continent M?"
Ji Nan did not know why she cared so much about it. He shrugged and said, "I don't know, either. My father asked to accompany him."
He did not forget to say, "It's not like you don't know him. Even if he had a reason, he wouldn't tell ."
However, Qiao Nian frowned. A strange feeling surged in her heart. "I'm not in Continent M."
"You're not here?" Ji Nan was a little surprised.
Qiao Nian looked at her reflection in the mirror. "Yes. I left the Privy Council and am going back to Beijing."
"You—" Ji Nan wanted to ask her how she fell out with the Privy Council, but he changed his words. "Forget it. When are you coming back?"
He ant to ask when Qiao Nian would return to the independent continent.
Qiao Nian calculated the ti with a lowered head. "In about a week."
Ji Nan felt a little regretful. "Then, I'd still be in Continent M. I'm afraid I can only wait till I return."
"Mm." An indescribable feeling enveloped her heart again.
Qiao Nian could not tell why she had such a strange feeling. After pondering for a mont, she spoke in a rare serious tone, "Be careful."
"Huh?" Ji Nan was clueless.
Qiao Nian smiled, feeling that she was thinking too much. "I'll treat you to a al when you co back."
Ji Nan smiled. "That's more like it!"
He heard the sound of water on Qiao Nian's side and guessed that she was outside. Hence, he did not waste her ti and said, "Then I'll hang up first. Go ahead."
Qiao Nian replied, "Okay."
After Ji Nan hung up, Qiao Nian looked down at the screen.
The phone screen lit up with a faint white light.
Ye Wangchuan had sent her a WeChat ssage a minute ago.
Qiao Nian clicked on it. [Do you know the private room? Do you want to co out and pick you up?]
[Q: No need, I'll be right there.]
She typed a ssage back with her fair fingers. Then, she patted her face and walked towards the private room.

In a large private room on the first floor.
Old Master Ye, Ye Lan, Jiang Zongjin, and Zhang Yang were all present. 20 people were seated.
Zhang Yang, Tang Ning, and the rest of the young people did not dare to relax in front of Ye Maoshan at first. All of them felt as if they were at school facing the principal.
Fortunately, with Qin Si's intervention, Zhang Yang and the others quickly realized that Old Master Ye was not that hard to get along with as was rumored. He was actually an easy-going elder.
Although everyone did not dare to be impudent, they slowly relaxed and began to liven up…
