Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Grandma is Waking Up

Nan Qiao’s collaboration meeting with Zhang Lai was scheduled, and Zhang Lai came to the company alone and encountered Nan Qiao.

Gao Yuan saw Zhang Lai’s figure and was incredibly angry.

He didn’t understand why Nan Qiao insisted on collaborating with Zhang Lai. Could they really create anything successful?

Gao Yuan was restless and finally pushed open the door to Nan Qiao’s office.

Zhang Lai had already left, having secured the cooperation, full of energy, and had returned to work overtime on the production.

"Mr. Qiao, since you’ve been back, you’ve been handling all the big and small matters. What am I supposed to do?"

Nan Qiao: "Manager Gao, if you want to do something, you can also do it. Go to the factory to inspect the production of the latest fabrics. After the inspection, report back to me."

Gao Yuan: ??

"Mr. Qiao, I’m not the kind of person who does these miscellaneous tasks at the headquarters. Since the headquarters sent me here, I am fully committed to assisting you with your work, not to be controlled and restrained here, being unable to do anything."

Nan Qiao leaned back in her chair, not in a hurry anymore.

"Manager Gao, you are wrong. Have I restricted your personal safety? Have I limited your freedom? Aren’t you able to do whatever you want? Since you’re so eager to be busy, fine, these two cooperations are for you."

Nan Qiao then picked up the cooperation agreements with Zhang Lai and another company and handed them over to him.

Gao Yuan immediately took them. He had already kicked Zhang Lai out!

"Mr. Qiao, rest assured, I will not let you down."

Gao Yuan took the cooperation agreements and went out happily to work.

Nan Qiao chuckled and said no more.

...

At 6:30 in the afternoon, Nan Qiao left the office.

A ride-share car stopped at the curb; seeing Nan Qiao coming out, the car window rolled down, and the driver waved at Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao walked over and skillfully opened the car door to get in.

"Didn’t you just come back? Aren’t you busy?"

Li Yehan took her hand, interlocking their fingers.

"No matter how busy I am, I have to make time for you, you ungrateful thing. Today, I didn’t contact you for a whole day, and you didn’t even send me a message."

Nan Qiao was quite embarrassed; she was indeed too busy today. Besides going out to eat and exchanging a few words with He Li, she went back to handle business at the company and also had to deal with the affairs of her other identities; she genuinely hadn’t contacted Li Yehan.

Li Yehan said indulgently, "Don’t worry, I will come to find you when you’re busy."

Nan Qiao and Li Yehan looked into each other’s eyes, their faces reflected in each other’s gazes, so intimate.

Nan Qiao smiled sweetly, a beautiful smile on her face, while Li Yehan held her hand with no other movement.

When they arrived at their destination, Li Yehan and Nan Qiao got back into the car.

The driver drove them to the restaurant.

Li Yehan said to her, "Didn’t you want to eat hotpot? I’ll take you to eat hotpot."

"Li Yehan, do you remember everything I say?"

"Yes, as long as it’s about you, I keep it in my heart."

Nan Qiao asked with a grin, "Then did you find anything? Yesterday’s surveillance footage along the way?"

Li Yehan brushed his forehead, Nan Qiao’s words indeed reminding him of this matter.

"I haven’t found anything yet; this person is quite difficult to investigate. Before leaving, he must have checked all the surveillance along the way and avoided being caught on camera."

Nan Qiao had also come up empty-handed; with so many people coming and going, it was really difficult to lock onto someone they had never met and whose height and build were unknown.

More importantly, they didn’t even know if the person was male or female.

As the situation was hard to control, Nan Qiao fell into a state of frustration.

Li Yehan held her hand: "Don’t worry, I have people watching Bai Yurou around the clock, we will definitely catch this person."

Li Yehan didn’t have much interaction with the Bai Family, just knew Bai Jingting because both of them were in business.

Bai Yurou’s unrequited love hadn’t caused Li Yehan to pay attention to the Bai Family’s affairs.

If it weren’t for Nan Qiao mentioning it, he wouldn’t have known.

Nan Qiao being the Bai Family’s young lady, this had to do with him, Li Yehan. He would urgently investigate, not allowing anyone to harm Qiaoqiao.

The car stopped at the entrance to the hotpot restaurant; Li Yehan opened the door and led Nan Qiao inside by the hand.

In the vast private room, there were only Li Yehan and Nan Qiao.

"I’ve ordered every item from the hotpot restaurant’s menu to see what you like to eat."

Nan Qiao was surprised. Wasn’t that too much?

"You start eating, and we’ll pack up what’s left over." Li Yehan smiled indulgently.

He knew Nan Qiao was thrifty and wouldn’t waste food.

Nan Qiao nodded with a smile: "Li Yehan, you know how to live a good life."

"Learning from Qiaoqiao. Whatever Qiaoqiao likes, so do I," Li Yehan said with a broad smile.

The two sat down, each with a small hotpot, immersing the food.

The steaming hotpot, along with various types of fresh meat, made Nan Qiao sweat.

Eating hotpot in summer also had a special taste.

Then they had shaved ice, icy and sweet.

"It’s so cold," Nan Qiao exclaimed after devouring a hefty spoonful.

The spicy hotpot, paired with ice, was truly the best of both worlds.

Nan Qiao was about to take another mouthful but Li Yehan stopped her.

"You can’t have any more; even if you have a stomach of steel, it can’t handle such eating."

Nan Qiao: "I used to eat this way, and my stomach didn’t hurt."

"Past is past, but now that I’m here, you can’t eat like that. What if your stomach hurts? It would be awful."

Nan Qiao looked startled. No one had cared about her before, was someone caring for her now?

Nan Qiao joyfully put down her spoon: "Okay, I won’t eat anymore."

Li Yehan beamed at her indulgently, handing her a cup of room temperature juice.

Nan Qiao drank a cup, touching her stomach, really unable to eat anymore.

"Li Yehan, I can’t keep eating like this, what if I get fat? Since returning to the Bai Family, I’ve gained five pounds."

Li Yehan: "You’re so thin, another ten pounds wouldn’t be considered fat. Even if you got fat, it would still be cute."

Nan Qiao: "..."

"Li Yehan, do you think I’m cute no matter how I look?"

Li Yehan’s face approached hers, a mischievous smile on his lips: "No matter how you change, I will always find you adorable, I will always like you. Qiaoqiao, I like you."

Nan Qiao flushed red and quickly sat up.

Li Yehan’s face was too alluring, impossible to resist.

With a slight rise of his thin lips, Li Yehan took the car keys: "Let’s go, we’ve had our fill, let’s take a walk to digest."

Nan Qiao hummed in agreement, quickly standing up to walk out.

...

Li Yehan held Nan Qiao’s hand, walking by the street with her, the car moving slowly like a turtle.

"Li Yehan, let go for a bit, it’s hot."

Nan Qiao shook off his hand, not understanding why Li Yehan loved holding her hand so much. Wouldn’t it be better to each walk on their own?

Li Yehan released her hand: "We’ll hold hands again when we get in the car."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Just then, her mobile phone rang. Nan Qiao answered: "Grandpa."

"Qiaoqiao, can you come home now? I was massaging Grandma, and I found out her hand moved! It really moved, I’m not seeing things."

Nan Qiao’s face showed joy: "Grandpa, I’ll come back right now, don’t make a fuss about it, I’ll be there immediately."

"I haven’t told anyone, just you. Qiaoqiao, come straight to me when you get back."

"Okay."

Nan Qiao hung up the phone, and before she could speak, Li Yehan was already holding her hand, guiding her into the car, driving towards the Bai Family.
