Ye Wangchuan's eyes suddenly darkened. He stared at her for a while without saying anything. His sitting posture became normal and he sat up straight.
Just as Qiao Nian thought he was going to try to persuade her, he pursed his thin lips, looked away, and stood up. "Let's go down and eat first."
Qiao Nian looked at his silent back. For some reason, her hand acted faster than her brain, and she grabbed his left wrist, refusing to let go.
Ye Wangchuan felt a cool touch on his wrist and stopped in his tracks. Turning around, he saw the girl approaching him with burning eyes. "Are you angry?"
Ye Wangchuan raised his head slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he refused to speak. "You're willing to take the risk yourself. What can I say?"
It didn't matter what he said. In any case, she never listened.
Qiao Nian could tell what he was implying. She blinked but didn't let go of his hand. "It's not that I didn't listen. I didn't think too much at that time. I just wanted to resolve the matter and forgot to discuss it with you in advance..."
She didn't say what was right or wrong. The meaning between the lines was that she wouldn't take such a risk next time. Even if she encountered such an emergency, she would discuss it with him in advance.
"This is an exception. This is the last time." Qiao Nian wasn't good at making promises, but she always did what she promised no matter the difficulty!
Ye Wangchuan knew her personality. He also knew that the environment she grew up in nurtured her independent thinking. Even if she trusted him, it was difficult to subconsciously accommodate someone else into her decision-making.
"I'm not angry." Ye Wangchuan rubbed the girl's hair before slowly lowering his hand, his proud eyes reflecting Qiao Nian's face as if thousands of stars had fallen into them. "Have you thought about how worried Old Master Jiang, your father, and Jiang Li would be if they knew? And Aunt Yuan, Old Master Su, Master Cheng, Master Nie, and the others... If they knew, would they be able to sleep well?"
"What about you?" Qiao Nian's eyes suddenly lit up with fire. She didn't know why she suddenly asked.
Ye Wangchuan was pressed against the wall by her. His eyes met hers, and everything was left unspoken.
