Chapter 1022: Jiang Li’s Reply
Ye Wangchuan watched as the girl left. He lazily threw away the card in his hand and bit the smoking stick. He turned his head and said casually to the people at the table, “Have fun.”
As he waved at Qin Si, his eye-catching eyes were very arrogant and a little careless. “Come and help me play a round.”
Qin Si stood up unhappily and walked to his seat. “I came to play games, but you insisted that I play cards. What’s the point of playing cards?”
Ye Wangchuan ignored his complaints. After giving up his seat to him, he walked past the crowd and followed Qiao Nian out.
Outside the corridor of Lan Pavilion, Qiao Nian came out to take a breather and leaned against the wall to play with her phone.
She had just played with Qin Si and the others for two hours. The phone was slightly hot, but it did not use much power.
Compared to Qin Si and the others, her phone’s battery seemed especially durable.
The people who came to Lan Pavilion to play were either rich or noble. They were all from Beijing’s upper-class circle and usually wore extraordinary clothes. Under such circumstances, the girl was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, and she was even casually wearing a pair of canvas shoes, making her look a little eye-catching.
However, Qiao Nian was wearing a cap and looking at her phone with her head lowered, almost covering her chin.
Her posture was very roguish. Her long legs were propped against the wall, and she was completely indifferent. Her white jade-like fingers were on her phone, and the faint white light from the phone shone on the brim of her cap.
…
Qiao Nian opened WeChat.
Other than the messages sent to her by a few people from Class A…
Jiang Li finally replied to her message.
[I’m okay.]
The message came five minutes ago. He had only replied when Qiao Nian came out of the private room.
Qiao Nian’s fingers tightened around her phone. Her black eyes seemed to be thinking about something as she pulled up the dialog box.
She had sent the last message.
Two hours ago.
She asked Jiang Li what he was doing and if he had encountered any trouble.
Jiang Li only replied after nearly two hours. His reply was very simple and even a little rushed. It felt like he had received her message and was in a hurry to reply. He didn’t even have time to type two more words.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and looked quite frustrated. She clicked on Jiang Zongjin’s WeChat profile picture. It was the fourth day, but there was still no new message. She pursed her lips and replied to Jiang Li.
[QN: Where are you?]
The message was sent successfully.
There was no movement from Jiang Li’s side for a long time, as if he did not see her message.
Qiao Nian was quite patient and was not in a hurry to go in. She flipped through the other news while waiting for Jiang Li to reply.
She thought that Jiang Li would only reply after two hours, and she would have to wait for at least an hour or two. She did not expect him to reply quickly this time.
Her phone rang.
Qiao Nian’s shoulders relaxed when she saw the WeChat notification from Jiang Li. She leaned against the wall, tilted her head, and opened it slowly.
The message was still in the previous style. It was obvious that he was in a hurry.
[Two Rivers City. Didn’t I tell you before that I was going to film a variety show? I’ve been busy filming the show these past few days.]
Before Qiao Nian could reply.
Jiang Li showed that he was typing again.
Then, a new message came in.
[Nian Nian, I’m not talking to you anymore. The director called me. I probably won’t have the time to message you these two days. I have to keep my phone for the recording. I’ll tell you when I’m back.]
After this message came in, Jiang Li stopped typing. As if confirming what he said, the program team confiscated his phone.
Qiao Nian’s eyes darkened. She did not send out the message she had typed halfway and slowly deleted it. She pursed her lips, thinking about something.
