Chapter 6048 The ten old men are dead
"What's going on?"
Ye Wangchuan raised the corner of his mouth. Although he enjoyed the embrace, he was not willing to let her continue to feel uncomfortable. He spoke softly again and lowered his eyes. "What's going on? Just tell me if you have anything to say. As long as it's not Qiao Shenyao who is replaced by a pretty boy, I can accept it."
"You are still in the mood to joke." Qiao Nian raised her head, her expression expressionless and emotionless, but Ye Wangchuan accurately caught the embarrassment in her dark eyes.
He raised his hand and patted her back gently, just like comforting an awkward child when he was a child, he used small movements to comfort her.
His eyes were deep and clear: "It's okay. Just tell me."
Qiao Nian took a deep breath and broke away from his arms.
"I heard a piece of news. The accuracy has not been confirmed yet. I think it is necessary to tell you."
"Yeah."
Ye Wangchuan raised his eyebrows and prepared the words "uncertain" and "accurate" twice for Qiao Nian in advance, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
He was curious as to what news could cause her to behave so erratically.
Qiao Nian looked at him deeply.
Then she said: "Ten Lao may be dead." She used the word "possible" instead of directly saying "Ten Lao is dead".
Ye Wangchuan was startled as she expected.
Qiao Nian took a deep breath.
"I don't know yet whether the news is true or false. If it is true, maybe..."
Ye Wangchuan saw the name Qiao Nian wanted to say from her awkwardly wrinkled eyelids, and pretended to be relaxed and raised the corners of his lips: "Maybe it's Sai Lan."
His mother killed his grandfather, which is not something that people can easily accept. Even if there is no family relationship between them, suddenly hearing such a tragic incident that dehumanizes people is enough to make people take a breath and doubt the education they have received.
Qiao Nian knew that he was not a fragile person, so she made eye contact with him and nodded slowly.
"Yes, I suspect it's her." Ye Wangchuan exchanged glances with her and calmed down: "What a coincidence, I also suspect it's her."
Without waiting for Qiao Nian's answer.
He said easily: "Don't worry about this matter. Take good care of yourself. I will find someone to check whether it is true."
"Let's talk about it." Qiao Nian didn't agree immediately, mainly because he was afraid that it would be dangerous in the future, and he didn't trust him to face it alone.
"Is there no movement over there in the Sixth Continent recently?"
Ye Wangchuan replied: "No."
"At first, I thought they knew it was hard to take action in country Z, so they kept silent. Now it seems that they may be carrying out power struggles internally."
He put his arms around the girl's waist, put his chin on her shoulder, and said softly: "No matter what they want to do, I will protect you."
Qiao Nian's heart was like the surface of a lake being blown by the spring breeze, with ripples appearing wherever her eyes touched his figure. He also reached out and hugged his back and patted him twice gently.
"It doesn't matter, you still have me and Chenchen, Mr. Ye and Aunt Lan."
"Yeah." Ye Wangchuan looked at the person in front of him, his heart was as soft as cotton exposed to the scorching sun, and his throat was dry and tight, as if there were countless gravel rubbing in it.
He was so full of softness that he couldn't even say a word of rejection.
The voice was hoarse and dry.
"Then just work hard and protect me."
……
"Ding dong——" Guan Yan rang the doorbell at this time.
Qiao Nian looked at the handsome face so close, pushed him away without hesitation, cleared her throat and said, "I'll open the door."
Ye Wangchuan looked at her hurried away figure and raised his hand to touch his lips with regret, lowered his eyes and chuckled, and also walked over.
