Silence.
Shadow detected the disgust in her words. It was as if she did not care to find out if Qiao Nian was the one behind it. She just wanted to blame it on Qiao Nian.
He did not want to provoke Nie Qingru anymore. He lowered his eyes and said to the woman in the car, “The Old Master and the others have been waiting for you for a long time.”
Nie Qingru endured it, picked up her bag, and strode into the villa without saying a word.

Qiao Nian did not know that Nie Qingru blamed her for this.
In her room upstairs, she sent the sorted data to Xu Yi, then chatted with him about the next experiment before turning off her laptop and going downstairs.
She had just left the room when her cell phone vibrated.
As Qiao Nian walked towards the stairs, she glanced down at the screen and was not surprised to see a certain someone’s WeChat message.
[Y: Are you awake?]
With one hand in her pocket and the other holding her cell phone, she bit on a fruit candy with a nonchalant expression.
Seeing the message, Qiao Nian bit the fruit candy harder. The sour and sweet fruit taste spread in her mouth, and the girl stopped in her tracks. She licked her dry lips, narrowed her eyes, and typed a reply with a focused expression.

Downstairs.
Mo Dong had already finished cleaning up the Mingshui Mansion matter and came over with the dishes he had ordered to be delivered from the private restaurant.
He placed the bags on the dining table before scanning the villa without finding a familiar figure.
He turned around and asked the arrogant and lazy man, “Master Wang, Miss Qiao isn’t at home?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Jingxing leaned against the wall and smiled leisurely. “Why do I feel that Mo Dong and the rest care more about Qiao Nian than you?”
Embarrassed, Mo Dong touched his scar uncomfortably and explained awkwardly, “No, no. I was just asking. It’s mainly because Miss Qiao—”
At this point, he was too embarrassed to continue.
What could he say?
Could he say he admired Miss Qiao more and treated her as his idol?
However, Miss Qiao had just turned 20 and was still young. As a man in his thirties, he felt it wouldn’t be good for Miss Qiao’s reputation if he said this in public.
Although he stayed in the independent continent where the strong were respected and gender and age did not matter, he roughly knew that it was not like this outside.
The people in Beijing were more reserved.
The more he thought about it, the more stifled he became. His rough face flushed red as he stammered, “Anyway, it’s not what you think. I just didn’t see Miss Qiao and was just asking.”
If Mo Xi was here, he would most likely ask the same question.
How natural was that?
It was as if Young Master Bo did not treat Master Wang as their master.
Seeing how serious he was, Bo Jingxing quickly waved his hand and coughed before apologizing. “I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”
Then, he took the initiative to say, “Qiao Nian is still sleeping upstairs.”
Before Mo Dong could say anything, Qin Si, playing games on the sofa diagonally across them, saw the person coming down the stairs and called out, “Sister Qiao.”
The awkward atmosphere was instantly broken.
Bo Jingxing and Mo Dong looked at the stairs on the second floor at the same time. Indeed, they saw a girl in a hoodie coming down the stairs.
Mo Dong ignored Bo Jingxing and quickly went up to her. “Miss Qiao, I was looking for you.”
Not only did he ignore Bo Jingxing, but he also ignored Ye Wangchuan, who was walking over. He strode towards Qiao Nian.
