Chapter 3735: Those Who Don’t Know Would Think You’re the Patriarch
Before Zhong Yiliu let go, he smiled and winked, indicating for her to notice her surroundings. “To be honest, if I didn’t know about your situation, I would have thought that you were the Patriarch of the Ji family.”
Qiao Nian glanced at him indifferently. Clearly, she did not care about this joke. “I’ll go in first.”
Zhong Yiliu was just joking. He immediately waved at her. “Go on.”
Before entering, Qiao Nian greeted Xie Yun and asked how she was doing. Then, she unhurriedly entered the ward.
She only spoke to the two of them the entire time.
Zhong Yiliu and Xie Yun.
As for the rest of the Ji family, including the Second Elder who greeted her first, Qiao Nian did not even look at them.
How arrogant!
The Second Elder and the rest had ugly expressions. They could only take a deep breath and find a way out for themselves. “Miss Qiao is still as cold as ever.”
Xie Yun and Ji Nan knew why Qiao Nian did not give him a way out. They did not say anything, as if they did not hear him.
The Second Elder’s gloomy expression became even more reserved and embarrassed. When his temper rose, he even wanted to leave. However, he remembered that Ji Lingfeng’s health was fine and he was about to be discharged.
He knew that this was not the time to throw a tantrum. He could only suppress his anger and turn his head away.
**
In the ward.
After entering, Qiao Nian pulled a chair and sat in front of the bed, looking at the man with his eyes closed and propped up with a pillow. She was the first to speak. “I heard you wanted to speak.”
Ji Lingfeng had heard her footsteps the moment she entered. He just thought it was Ji Nan or Xie Yun. That’s why he did not open his eyes.
Hearing the girl’s casual tone, he immediately opened his eyes and saw Qiao Nian sitting in front of his bed.
Their gazes met briefly before quickly separating.
“I thought you wouldn’t come.” Ji Lingfeng propped himself up. He was still sick, and his voice was hoarse.
Qiao Nian replied, “I’ve even got you the antidote. There’s no need to be pretentious over such a small matter.”
Ji Lingfeng was stunned. Then, his brows relaxed and he revealed a rare smile. “You’re right.”
Ji Nan had told him everything.
Qiao Nian had risked going to Nie Qingru’s vault in Continent M to find the antidote for him, and she almost did not come back.
His reaction was big. He wanted to see her, but after slowly thinking it over, he only asked to see her now that he was about to be discharged.
“Are you alright?” Ji Lingfeng looked at her.
The girl’s eyebrows were frivolous. She looked a little like the woman in his memory, but not completely.
Ji Qing was more gentle. Her eyes were always filled with bits and pieces of starlight. They were radiant as well but not scorching.
Qiao Nian was the opposite. She was more like the aurora of the North Pole. It was unforgettable, but it was accompanied by ice and snow.
She was distant and aggressive.
What?
Ji Lingfeng could see the confusion in her gaze and realized his question was stupid. However, he blurted out at that moment, “It’s nothing. I was just asking casually.”
Qiao Nian looked at the white hair at his temples and was silent for a moment before replying casually, “It’s been alright. That’s all.”
Ji Lingfeng’s reaction was short. When he realized she was answering his previous question, his eyes lit up and his voice became much lighter. “You’re not like your mother at all. She… won’t do anything like stealing. She has never disobeyed that person. Ever since she was young, she only wanted to work hard to make that person happy.”
