Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Is she going to be exposed again?
Bai Yurou inwardly rolled her eyes, but on the surface, she still smiled and nodded: “Mom and Dad, I will definitely take good care of my sister in the future, don’t worry.”
The couple nodded and walked toward the house together.
Bai Yurou took a deep breath, turned around, and walked into the house as well, continuing her performance.
Inside the car, two bodyguards respectfully called out: “Miss.”
The driver, a man with a scar, respectfully said, “Miss, we meet again.”
The bodyguard sitting in the co-driver’s seat spoke up, “Miss, from now on we can openly protect you by your side.
Your safety is our responsibility.”
Nan Qiao nodded: “Uncle Dao, Uncle Qin, have you found out who kidnapped me?”
Uncle Dao and Uncle Qin simultaneously shook their heads.
Uncle Dao, driving the car, said, “This person has hidden themselves very well.
Upon discovering they were exposed, they quickly severed all connections.”
Uncle Qin said, “All the contact methods were burner phones, and we couldn’t trace any useful information.”
Nan Qiao’s last hope also shattered.
If she could find the person behind the kidnapping, she would definitely not let them off easily!
Uncle Qin, sitting in the co-driver’s seat, took out a small box of candy and handed it to Nan Qiao, “Miss, your favorite candy.”
Seeing the candy, Nan Qiao revealed a smile: “Thank you, Uncle Qin.”
“The old master is thinking of you, saying that you should give him a call when you have time.”
“Okay.” Nan Qiao ate a piece of candy.
Li found out that Nan Qiao was coming over, he immediately called Li Yehan.
The Li Family estate was too large; it took ten minutes to drive from the main gate to the living room.
Nan Qiao’s car drove in, parked under the guidance of the butler, and then she walked into the living room.
In the spacious living room, the crystal chandelier shone with dazzling light.
The design all around was ingenious, reflecting the homeowner’s taste.
“Qiaoqiao, you’ve arrived, please sit down.”
Li’s eyes were filled with love, and the table was laden with plenty of pastries and drinks.
Li continued, “Qiaoqiao, I heard from Ye Han that you were kidnapped, and I’m sorry for that.
I wanted to visit you, but he said you had already gone home.
Qiaoqiao, it’s Grandpa Li’s fault.
You came to see me with good intentions, only to end up kidnapped.”
Nan Qiao’s face showed a smile, comforting him, “Grandpa Li, this has nothing to do with you.
The person was after me, and even if I hadn’t gone to your house today, I would still have faced danger.”
Li, comforted, felt even more embarrassed and guilt-ridden.
“Grandpa Li, how do you feel now?
I have a bottle of medicine here; you should take one pill every day, and contact me whenever there’s an issue.”
Nan Qiao placed the white porcelain bottle in front of him, her eyes clear and sincere, making her words seem all the more trustworthy.
Without a second thought, Old Mr.
Li accepted the medicine bottle and asked cheerfully, “So, when should I take this medicine?”
“In the evening, before going to bed.”
Li nodded, “Qiaoqiao, thank you for the medicine.
What gift should Grandpa give you in return?
How about this, I’ll give you a card, and you can buy whatever you want without waste.”
Li wanted to give a gift, unsure if his own offerings would please Nan Qiao, so he decided on money.
After all, money is always practical.
He took out a Black Card, and the butler respectfully presented it to Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao quickly refused: “Grandpa Li, thank you for the gift, but it’s too precious.
I really can’t accept it.”
Li urged her, saying affectionately, “Qiaoqiao, compared to money, my life is definitely more important.”
Li naturally valued his life even more.
He had more money than he could spend, and the only gift he could offer now was money.
Nan Qiao took out two Black Cards from her bag, somewhat embarrassedly saying, “My family already gave me two Black Cards, Grandpa Li, and Li Yehan has already paid for my treatment.
I can’t accept your money.”
While Nan Qiao was refusing, Li Yehan came back.
“Grandpa, take the Black Card back.
Qiaoqiao is the person I found.
I should be the one to give her the Black Card.”
Li Yehan was dressed in a tailor-made business suit, his peach-blossom eyes under his tousled hair carrying a meaningful smile.
Even his expertly carved face carried a layer of gentle mirth, unlike his usual icy demeanour.
Li rarely saw such a relaxed Li Yehan and couldn’t help but take another look.
Li said with a smile, “Qiaoqiao, if you won’t accept my card, then you should at least accept Ye Han’s, right?”
She wouldn’t accept anyone’s card.
Li, you’re really too courteous.
The money I received is enough to buy the medicine; no additional payment is necessary.”
Nan Qiao was firm in her approach, and neither Old Mr.
Li nor Li Yehan would force her to do something she didn’t like.
Li added, “Qiaoqiao, you don’t have to call him Mr.
Just call him Ye Han, or if you really can’t, call him Li Yehan.
Our two families are old acquaintances; there’s no need to be so distant.”
Nan Qiao nodded and sat on the sofa, her demeanor both well-behaved and lovely.
“Grandpa Li, I’ve delivered the medicine, and it’s getting late, so I should head home now,” Nan Qiao stood up to leave.
Li Yehan also stood up: “You came to bring medicine to my grandpa, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Li agreed: “Yes, let Ye Han treat you to a meal on my behalf.
I’ve heard that your grandpa is coming back tomorrow, and if he knew I’d been negligent to you, he definitely wouldn’t be happy.”
Nan Qiao smiled lightly: “Is my grandpa so stern?”
Li exaggeratedly said, “Your grandpa is a sly fox; he’s certainly not as kind as me.
If he knows I’ve been negligent to you, just wait and see, he’ll definitely come looking for me.
Qiaoqiao, at my age, I can’t handle such trouble anymore.”
Half-believing and half-doubting, thinking of her grandpa whom she had never met and seeing Old Mr.
Li’s helpless expression, she could only agree.
In Li Yehan’s car, Uncle Dao and Uncle Qin followed in another car behind them, ensuring her safety.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
The chauffeur drove diligently, trying to minimize his presence and even raised the partition to create a space for himself.
In the back seat, only Nan Qiao and Li Yehan remained, sitting together, with Nan Qiao keeping as much distance from him as possible.
Just as Nan Qiao was about to say she wanted to go home, Li Yehan spoke first.
Nan Qiao was startled; was she going to be exposed again?
She sat up straight, turned her head, and looked at him with her large, watery eyes: “Bodyguards?
Those are the bodyguards my parents hired to ensure my safety.”
Li Yehan appeared to have an epiphany, and just as Nan Qiao started to breathe a sigh of relief, he spoke again: “My assistant tried to hire them too but was refused.
Uncle and auntie, how did you manage to convince them to be your bodyguards?”
Li Yehan’s offers were unmatched.
His piercing gaze landed on Nan Qiao, his eyes tilting up at the corners, emanating a sense of unrivaled dominance that set Nan Qiao’s heart racing.
Was she about to be uncovered?
