Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Everyone Excels in Different Fields

Nan Qiao felt profoundly that it was no easy task being caught in the middle.

People were watching her from both sides, and it was so difficult for her.

Upon seeing this, Lan Yi spoke, "Qingran, Jingjing is indeed busy, let’s go visit her in Jing City next time."

Nan Qiao also said, "Brother Qingran, there are indeed many things going on at work, I must get back. Next time you and Master come to Jing City to find me, I’ll be your tour guide."

Li Yehan said nothing and let Lan Qingran come instead.

The person most familiar with Jing City isn’t Qiaoqiao, after all; it’s a tour guide.

Why not hire a tour guide for the two of them? Young, old, men, women, let them pick a tour guide however they like.

Thus, Li Yehan remained silent, implicitly agreeing to let Lan Qingran come over.

Lan Qingran also noticed Li Yehan hadn’t spoken or objected. Could it be he was afraid that Jingjing would get angry?

Thinking so, Lan Qingran felt he could assert himself!

"Alright, Jingjing, I’ll come to find you," Lan Qingran said with a resolute look.

Lan Yi chuckled, "Jingjing, if there’s time, I’ll go over with you."

Nan Qiao smiled broadly, nodding happily.

Li Yehan breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to leave.

...

Li Yehan returned to the island once, arranged everything, and had Old Wu and Old Liu stay behind to sort things out before leaving.

Once everything was arranged, Li Yehan departed.

Li Yehan and Nan Qiao took separate ways, not wishing too much speculation on their relationship.

Nan Qiao stood on the shore, waiting to board the bridge.

Lan Yi said, "I’ve sent some seafood to your family, including our island’s homemade seafood, all your favorites from before. By the time you get back, the seafood should arrive with you."

Nan Qiao, moved to tears, responded, "Master, thank you."

"Silly child, why be so formal with your master. Get on the boat, and remember to let your master know you’re safe after you get back."

"Alright, Master, I’m heading back first then. Remember to visit me in Jing City, and I’ll take you to some delicious places and introduce you to my other masters."

"Okay."

Looking at the silent Lan Qingran, Nan Qiao smiled and said, "Brother Qingran, I’m getting on the boat first. Make time to come to Jing City with Master and visit us."

Lan Qingran nodded, "Jingjing, be careful. That man is sinister and petty, scheming beneath a soft exterior. Jingjing, you must be careful with him; he’s not a good person!"

Nan Qiao: "..."

Nan Qiao didn’t respond; she knew Lan Qingran currently had an unfavorable view of Li Yehan, considering him not to be a good person.

It’s okay, maybe with more interactions in the future, the two could happily play together?

Nan Qiao steered clear of the subject, "Master, Brother Qingran, take care, I’m leaving first."

Nan Qiao boarded the ship, opting not to have them accompany her.

Parting was too sorrowful; Nan Qiao preferred to leave alone.

...

Onboard the ship, Nan Qiao stood on the deck, letting the sea breeze tousle her hair.

Her hair fluttered wildly, adding a chaotic beauty to Nan Qiao’s face.

Nan Qiao sensed someone approaching and turned hurriedly, spotting a familiar face.

"Li Yehan? What are you doing on the ship? Didn’t you go ahead to the airport to wait for me?"

Li Yehan walked over and embraced her, "Silly girl, how could I bear to let you set off alone. If we’re going, we’re going together."

Nan Qiao nestled in Li Yehan’s arms, the two leaning on each other, watching the tumultuous sea.

They sat down, beneath the blue sky and white clouds, as seagulls flew by and clouds drifted idly.

Li Yehan, holding Nan Qiao, gave a possessive reminder, "Qiaoqiao, if Lan Qingran goes to Jing City, you must tell me."

Nan Qiao: "You wouldn’t drive him away, would you?"

Li Yehan: "Of course not. I’m more familiar with Jing City. When he gets there, I’ll make the arrangements to ensure he is satisfied."

Nan Qiao had less time to roam around Jing City, spending her spare time either in the lab or designing clothes and drawing, with other tasks awaiting her.

Her knowledge of Jing City naturally wasn’t as extensive as Li Yehan’s.

Nan Qiao nodded in agreement, it was fine to let Li Yehan make the arrangements when the time came.

Nan Qiao didn’t notice the fleeting cunning look that passed through Li Yehan’s eyes.

The ferry reached the shore, and the couple set off for the airport.

Li Yehan had purchased first-class seats, and they sat together.

...

Bai Yurou made a pot of fruit tea and knocked on Bai Jingting’s door.

"Big brother, I made some fruit tea for you to try."

"Thank you," Bai Jingting closed his laptop.

Bai Yurou was momentarily stunned; was Bai Jingting worried she’d see the news and betray the company?

Little did she know, it was just a habitual action of Bai Jingting.

"Big brother, with the weather being so hot, you need to take care of your health. Have some fruit tea to cool down. I’ve also been learning how to make pastries lately; once I get it right, you’ll be the first to try them."

Bai Jingting hadn’t touched the tea and sat with an indifferent demeanor, "Yurou, since I’ve returned, I’ve seen you always at home. Aren’t you supposed to be working at the hospital? Not going anymore?"

Mentioning this, Bai Yurou felt upset.

She lowered her head, distressed, "I was really putting my heart into the competition at the hospital, I don’t know where things went wrong. That day, my sister also went to the hospital. It seemed she went to the dean’s office. I don’t know what she was there for."

Bai Jingting furrowed his brows. He could understand the implications in Bai Yurou’s words; she was blaming Nan Qiao and suspecting her of something.

Bai Jingting: "Tomorrow, I’ll call the dean to ask what happened."

Bai Yurou hurriedly refused, "Big brother, how could I bother you with such a trivial matter. Moreover, school is about to start; it’s no big deal if I don’t go to the hospital."

Bai Yurou stood, a surge of desolate emotion rising within her, "Big brother, I’m really useless, I’ve let the Bai Family down."

"Yurou, don’t think like that. Having a job or not isn’t a measure of one’s capabilities. Since you don’t have plans to return to the hospital, just stay at home."

Bai Yurou: "..."

She thought Bai Jingting would help her solve the problem, or perhaps let her also manage the company.

Not being his real daughter made a difference.

Even after eighteen years of living together, things were still different.

Bai Yurou said with immense envy, "Still, my sister is capable. She can already manage a company by herself."

Bai Jingting nodded in approval, his deep eyes filled with admiration as he praised without stopping, "Qiaoqiao is indeed very capable. She doesn’t just manage the company, but also heals the sick, designs clothes—she’s proficient in everything. I heard from Grandpa that Grandma’s health has been under her care, and there’s hope she’ll wake up."

Bai Yurou felt nervous inside; she didn’t want the old lady to wake up.

"Yurou, what’s wrong? Your expression seems off. Are you feeling unwell?"

Questioned by Bai Jingting, Bai Yurou looked up, her expression dazed, "Big brother, maybe I’ve not been sleeping well lately. Big brother, second brother, third brother, they all have their own careers, and now even my sister can manage the company alone. Unlike me, I’m just a freeloader."

Bai Jingting frowned, "Yurou, everyone excels in different fields."

Bai Yurou: "??"
