Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

2588 Master Wang’s Carrot and Donkey Theory

Qiao Nian’s eyes darkened. “Not for the time being.”

She had risked her life with Lu Zhi and Jian Jin, so Qiao Nian had never thought that they would hide something from her.

She did not expect them to not tell her about the K Organization’s existence and its relationship with her mother’s death.

It did not feel good to be betrayed by someone she trusted.

At least she did not want to mention it now, but if he wanted to know, she could tell him.

Ye Wangchuan looked at the girl’s quiet side profile and slightly pursed lips. He gently lifted the girl’s hair and said lazily, “Then I won’t ask.”

Qiao Nian subconsciously turned to look at him.

Ye Wangchuan straightened her neck. “Sit properly and don’t move. Be careful not to get burned.”

Qiao Nian’s eyes flickered. “You exposed your involvement with Dark Fort this time. Don’t you want to know why the reclusive families arrested Lu Zhi?”

Tian Chen and Dark Fort also had business conflicts in Continent F.

She thought that Ye Wangchuan would at least ask her.

Unexpectedly, the man’s tone was clear and gentle. “I’ll listen to you when you want to tell me. Besides, I’m not helping Lu Zhi. I’m just helping my girlfriend out. It has nothing to do with him.”

Other than the Ye family’s foundation, it was undeniable that Ye Wangchuan also could surpass his peers.

Such a person was definitely not soft-hearted!

He had an ordinary relationship with Lu Zhi.

If not for the fact that Qiao Nian and Lu Zhi knew each other when they were young and had a life-and-death relationship, he would not have cared about his life.

Did Lu Zhi’s life and death have anything to do with him?

If Lu Zhi was unfortunately gone, he would at most tell Ji Lin to send Tian Chen a gift.

Other than that, it had nothing to do with him.

Qiao Nian lowered her eyes. “Thank you.”

Ye Wangchuan suddenly narrowed his eyes and stopped drying her hair. He said dangerously, “I’ll go back on my word if you speak up for him again.”

Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment before looking at him with her beautiful eyes. “Are you jealous?”

“Goddess Qiao is quite sharp.” Ye Wangchuan faced her frankly and gave a fake smile.

Qiao Nian touched the tip of her nose and stared at him with a headache. After staring at him for a few seconds, she said, “My relationship with Lu Zhi is not what you think.”

“I know.”

Ye Wangchuan was not a fool. Of course, he knew that she did not have that kind of relationship with Lu Zhi. At least, she only treated him as a friend.

As for what Lu Zhi thought…

Ye Wangchuan sneered. For a man who did not even dare to pursue the person he liked, would his thoughts matter?

His fingertips were cold and slender, like suet jade. He made the girl sit down again and started drying her hair again. “Are you sure you don’t want to wait for him to wake up?”

“Mm.”

Qiao Nian responded.

The warm breeze from the hairdryer tickled her neck and made her a little sleepy.

She narrowed her eyes and enjoyed a moment of peace. Pursing her red lips, she said in a low voice, “I’ll be 20 in three months.”

Ye Wangchuan was so angry that he laughed. He curled his thin lips and said, “Do you know what people used to do to make the donkey work more?

“They’d tie a rope with a carrot dangling in the front of it.

“The carrot will keep swaying in front of the donkey’s eyes. The donkey would be attracted to the carrot in front, so it would keep moving forward.”
