“Okay,” Qiao Sinian replied.

It was Ye Jiaqi’s turn to be surprised. Did Qiao Sinian agree just like that? This wasn’t his way of doing things.

It seems as though he had really changed.

Without waiting for Ye Jiaqi to think for a few more minutes, Qiao Sinian slowly took out his mobile phone to dial the number of the Qiao Residence.

It was housekeeper Tang who answered.

“Master Qiao.”

“Is Uncle Yao and Aunt Lu there?”

“Uncle Yao left to ship goods. However, Aunt Lu is here. She’s currently in the kitchen making food especially for you. We heard that Miss Ye is … also returning?”

“Tell Aunt Lu to answer the phone.”

“Yes, Master Qiao.”

There was a faint smile that rose from the corner of Qiao Sinian’s lips. He had purposely adjusted the volume before putting the phone back to his ear in a casual manner.

After a while, a woman’s voice came over the phone, “Master Qiao.”

Ye Jiaqi heard the familiar voice and shivered a little.

It was Aunt Lu!

Aunt Lu had always been enthusiastic and cordial. She had treated Ye Jiaqi like her own daughter which made it impossible for Ye Jiaqi to forget her.

The last time she heard Aunt Lu’s voice was three years ago. Hearing her speak made Ye Jiaqi’s heartbeat quicken.

At that moment, it felt as though she was seeing Aunt Lu in person.

“Did you prepare all the food?”

“It’s being prepared. Being prepared.”

Aunt Lu was obviously very excited. It had been three years since Master Qiao came back. An entire three years!

“Okay.”

“Master Qiao, I heard that little lady is coming back? Did she come back with you?” Aunt Lu asked excitedly.

Ye Jiaqi felt slightly sick for a moment. Regarding what had happened three years ago, they hadn’t known a thing.

If Aunt Lu knew that she had climbed into Qiao Sinian’s bed, how would she think of her? Would she think of her as everyone else did?

Would she despise her? Look down on her? Or be disgusted by her?

If she could have guessed what would have happened in the future, that night of the birthday party, she would not have let herself drink so much?

However, there is no medicine for regret in this world and now, there is no way back anymore.

Whatever happened has happened. There is no room for redemption.

However, how did everyone in the Qiao Residence know she was coming back this time?!

She hadn’t colluded with Qiao Sinian!

Qiao Sinian glanced at Ye Jiaqi and replied, “She asked me to say hello to you on her behalf.”

Ye Jiaqi got anxious. It would be a very normal statement if anyone else had said it but why did it sound like that from Qiao Sinian’s mouth.

Sure enough, Aunt Lu’s tone got a little sadder.

“Then… Master Qiao, is the little lady not coming back?”

This made Ye Jiaqi glare at Qiao Sinian. She couldn’t help but whisper, “I didn’t mean that! You need to explain to Aunt Lu that I didn’t mean that!”

Qiao Sinian ignored her and didn’t say a ‘yes’ nor ‘no’.

He was calm as ever. However, Ye Jiaqi became anxious like a monkey.

“Master Qiao, does the young lady really not miss us at all? Oh… I really missed her though.” Aunt Lu said whilst sighing.

Ye Jiaqi couldn’t help but move to Qiao Sinian’s side before reaching out to grab his phone.

However, as soon as she reached out, Qiao Sinian raised his arm which prevented her from reaching the phone.

Ye Jiaqi got super anxious. She had to explain to Aunt Lu immediately!

Aunt Lu had treated her so well. She wasn’t an ungrateful person so she didn’t forget all the things she had done for her. She too really wanted to see Aunt Lu and to also eat the dishes that Aunt Lu cooked. However…

No! She had to explain! She wasn’t an ungrateful person!

In a hurry, Ye Jiaqi jumped up and down. She held down Qiao Sinian’s body and reached out her arm to grab the phone.

However, Qiao Sinian’s arm was too long. As soon as he raised his hand a little more, she couldn’t grab the phone anymore.

“Qiao Sinian, give me that!”

Ye Jiaqi was about to cry of anxiousness. In her anxiousness, she accidentally crawled onto his lap.

At that moment, although she didn’t notice, Qiao Sinian’s expression darkened.

As soon as Ye Jiaqi reached out again, she managed to snatch the phone away..
