Ye Wangchuan seemed to feel his gaze. He turned his head and met his gaze, then raised his eyebrows with a faint smile. "Why are you looking at me?"

"No, no." Qin Si quickly looked away, not daring to say what was on his mind.

Ye Wangchuan clearly knew why he was looking at him, but he still deliberately looked sideways at the girl in the back and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'm cooking."

"Mm?" Qiao Nian was still replying to Guan Yan. Her mind had yet to process the situation. She was supporting her chin and thinking, and she was just about to say 'spicy chicken'.

"No spicy chicken. It's too spicy." Ye Wangchuan's gaze inadvertently went to her right shoulder, seeming to see her unhealed wound through the fabric. "You can't eat chili these days, so hotpot and spicy chicken won't do."

Qiao Nian grew disinterested when he said that. "Whatever."

"Alright." Ye Wangchuan smiled slightly. His voice was bewitching and seductive. "Then, I'll stew chicken soup for you and make a few side dishes."

As long as Qiao Nian did not eat spicy food, nothing else mattered. Hence, she replied casually, "Yes."

However, she was looking at the message on her cell phone.

This time, it was still that D from before.

[I've got it. Should I mail it to you?]

[Mm.]

Qiao Nian sent him the address.

D quickly showed that he was typing. A second later, he replied: [Alright, pay attention to the delivery.]

Qiao Nian closed the dialog box and calmly opened the game page, then started a solo game.

"You said that Qiao Nian sent people to the laboratory?" Yu Qingliu's expression was ugly as he stood up from behind the office chair.

Ji Ziyin pursed her lips tightly. The humiliation and hatred on her beautiful face could not be suppressed. She lowered her head slightly and covered her eyes with her bangs, then said in a low voice, "Her people even said that your family is inferior among the reclusive families. They said that they're not afraid of your revenge."

"How dare they!"

Yu Qingliu hated it the most when others talked about the Yu family's status among the reclusive families. In his extreme anger, he swept everything on the table to the ground.

He placed his hands on the table and panted heavily. His face was filled with anger and hatred. It could be seen how much Ji Ziyin's words had agitated him.

"Did they really say that?" He was not a fool.

After his anger subsided, the first thing Yu Qingliu did was interrogate the woman standing in front of him. "He really said that he's not afraid of my revenge? He doesn't take the reclusive families seriously, either?"

Ji Ziyin did not dare to look into his eyes. She quietly clenched her fists and angrily said, "They didn't say that directly. However, he said that the Yu family is inferior in the reclusive families' circle. You won't even be able to bring this up to them. Everyone in the laboratory heard it."

She looked up. "If you don't believe me, you can ask the others."

Since she was not afraid of him asking the others, Yu Qingliu believed what she said.

The anger slowly disappeared from his gaze. There was no expression on his face, but his expression was extremely cold. He waved at Ji Ziyin. "Go back."

Ji Ziyin had thought that he would be angry and settle the score with Qiao Nian. She had never expected this reaction from Yu Qingliu. "Elder Yu?"

"What? Is there anything else?"

Yu Qingliu had already turned back and picked up the documents on the ground. Seeing that she was still standing there like a block of wood, he looked at her impatiently.
