Neither of them said anything else during the meal.
Once Ye Jiaqi finished, she made an excuse to leave.
“Master Qiao, I still have a lot of things left in the office. I need to go back to get them.”
Qiao Sinian ignored her excuse and glanced at his watch before saying, “Wait for another five minutes.”
Ye Jiaqi didn’t understand what he meant when he said to wait for another five minutes.
However, five minutes later, Meng Shen appeared at the Qiao Residence.
Ye Jiaqi recognised Meng Shen. He was a man who was even quieter than Qiao Sinian. For a period of time, she had assumed that he was mute.
Meng Shen had followed Qiao Sinian for many years. He was Qiao Sinian’s special assistant.
“Miss Ye, your belongings,” Meng Shen said as he handed over Ye Jiaqi’s possession.
“Thank you,” Ye Jiaqi replied, startled by the favour.
Qiao Sinian had also finished eating. He wiped his mouth and stood up.
“Master Qiao, can I go now?” Ye Jiaqi asked.
“Wait for a bit.”
Qiao Sinian slowly took a black wallet out of his trousers pockets.
Soon after, he took out a bank card and handed it to Ye Jiaqi.
Ye Jiaqi shook her head rapidly and clasped her hands behind her back.
“Not doing your business?” Qiao Sinian said lightly.
“Huh?” Ye Jiaqi replied confused at what was happening. She had thought he was joking earlier on.
“I’ll order some for a month. When you have time, just deliver them over. And the money in the card, deduct from it accordingly.” Qiao Sinian said softly.
“This… Master Qiao, if for a month… How many boxes would you like… for a night?”
Ye Jiaqi swore that she had no ill intent when she said that sentence.
However, Master Qiao’s facial expression changed and his tone became annoyed as he said, “You take care of it!”
Huh?
She was in charge of it? What did he mean by that…?
If she delivered him ten boxes, he wouldn’t actually use them all, would he?
Her memory couldn’t help but jump to the night of her twentieth birthday. That was her first time. However, that night, Qiao Sinian had done certain things numerous times too.
Ye Jiaqi couldn’t help but blush as her gaze went towards the master bedroom on the second floor.
It was there. On his bed.
“Then, thank you, Master Qiao, for looking after my business. I’ll leave now.”
Ye Jiaqi took the card and picked up her things to leave.
With Qiao Sinian looking after her business, she didn’t need to go to the hotel anymore.
Was he taking care of her business because he used to take care of her? Or was it due to his guilt?
It wasn’t until Ye Jiaqi had left that Qiao Sinian finally returned his concentration onto something else.
“Meng Shen.”
“Master Qiao, I’m here.”
“In a few days, kindergarten is starting. Has Cheng Fan’s study procedures been arranged yet?”
“It has all been arranged.”
“Then tell housekeeper Sun to bring young master back tomorrow.”
“Yes,” Meng Shen replied.
“Has the news been released?”
“Yes, according to your request.”
“Okay.”
As Qiao Sinian was satisfied, Meng Shen retreated.
Suddenly, the living room was quiet. Qiao Sinian’s eyes had complicated emotions within them.
He reached for a cigarette in his pocket and lit one up.
Soon, smoke lingered in the living room and shrouded half of Qiao Sinian’s face.
When he reached for the packet of cigarettes, he had touched the jade bracelet. The jade bracelet was sparkling and translucent.
If the jade quality was good, it becomes more precious with time.
“That bracelet, I never wore it.”
“Not even for a day.”
Ye Jiaqi’s voice once again came up in his mind. Her voice filled with panic and fear.
So, she had snatched away the bracelet just for it to collect dust in the drawer?!
And now, she returned it to its rightful owner?
“Ye Jiaqi, you really are capable,” Qiao Sinian sneered.
In the smoke, the beads gained a bit more of haziness. It looked like the wisps of clouds at dawn.
QiaoSiNian clutched the bracelet tightly in his palm..
