Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Sick of It

Nan Qiao ate the spicy grilled fish, feeling extremely satisfied.

The fish was bass, with few bones.

Li Yehan deboned the fish, and Nan Qiao ate.

“Li Yehan, you should eat too, don’t need to debone it for me.”

“I’m not hungry, you go ahead.” Li Yehan placed the fish on the plate in front of Nan Qiao.

Halfway through the meal, Rong Yan and Fu Qingyan arrived.

Nan Qiao happened to be sitting facing the entrance and saw them chatting and laughing as they came in.

Nan Qiao: “Oh wow, Rong Yan and Fu Qingyan are dating now!”

Li Yehan: ?

Li Yehan turned around and saw Rong Yan and Fu Qingyan, both looking quite happy and matched well standing together.

As for whether they’re dating, Li Yehan couldn’t tell.

As Nan Qiao looked over, Fu Qingyan’s eyes met Nan Qiao’s, and she reached out to tug Rong Yan’s sleeve.

Rong Yan still didn’t know and smiled while asking her what’s wrong.

“Mr. Qiao saw us.” Fu Qingyan quickly kept her distance from Rong Yan.

Rong Yan was also surprised to encounter Nan Qiao here.

The company mostly opposes office romances, and as far as Nan Qiao is concerned, Rong Yan imagined she definitely wouldn’t allow people to date within the office.

Eventually, Fu Qingyan and Rong Yan came over to Nan Qiao.

“Mr. Qiao, you’re here to eat too.” Rong Yan said with a laugh.

“What a coincidence, why don’t you sit down and join us for a meal?”

Fu Qingyan and Rong Yan sat down, joining Nan Qiao and Li Yehan for the meal.

Sitting together, Nan Qiao looked at them, feeling more and more that they were well-suited for each other.

Throughout the meal, Rong Yan felt tasteless, unable to settle his mood.

Fu Qingyan felt the same, both of them quite embarrassed.

“Rong Yan, we’re done eating, we’ll head off first, take your time.”

Nan Qiao got up, and Li Yehan helped her with her coat.

Rong Yan said some polite words, and Nan Qiao smiled, comforting him, “No need to be nervous, enjoy your meal.”

Before leaving, Li Yehan paid for the meal of Rong Yan and Fu Qingyan too.

Once seated again, Fu Qingyan spoke with difficulty, “Rong Yan, maybe we should separate. Mr. Qiao has already seen us, probably guessed our relationship too.”

Rong Yan: “Yanyan, I don’t want to separate from you.”

Fu Qingyan’s eyes were red, gripping Rong Yan’s hand, “I don’t want to separate from you either.”

The two gazed at each other passionately, Rong Yan made up his mind.

Fu Qingyan also felt that Rong Yan would do anything for her!

Fu Qingyan asked softly, “But Rong Yan, you can’t leave the company for me.”

Rong Yan: “Silly, I don’t need to leave the company. I’ll ask Mr. Qiao to transfer you to a different department or branch.”

Fu Qingyan: “…”

That wasn’t the result she wanted.

“But if we’re not in the same company, I won’t see you every day, I’ll miss you.”

“After work, we can meet up. During the day, both of us can focus on work, and I’ll devote all my evening time to you.”

Rong Yan held Fu Qingyan’s hands, earnestly speaking, “Yanyan, the company can’t do without me now. If I leave, I can’t repay Mr. Qiao’s support.”

Rong Yan thought simply; Fu Qingyan had only been in the company for a short while and hadn’t finished her probation period yet.

A new environment would allow her to adapt well.

If he left, He would feel guilty for Nan Qiao’s mentorship.

After thinking it over, he could only ask Fu Qingyan to inconvenience herself.

Rong Yan also secretly resolved to spend a lifetime making up for Fu Qingyan’s sacrifices.

Fu Qingyan felt very upset, not expecting Rong Yan to do this to her.

No, she shouldn’t be the one to leave!

…

Li Yehan drove, and Nan Qiao sat inside, the car filled with the gentle sounds of pure music.

Nan Qiao’s hand rested on her stomach, which was flat, not showing any signs of pregnancy.

The people who loved her were by her side, and inside her was the person she loved, everything was so perfect.

Such peaceful, serene, yet beautiful days truly were wonderful.

“I ate too much grilled fish. I want to walk back later.”

“Alright, I’ll hand the car over to Housekeeper Liang and walk with you.”

“Is Housekeeper Liang really that skilled at driving?”

“Housekeeper Liang is skilled in many things, whether it’s flying in the air, running on the ground, or swimming in the sea, they’re all adept forms of transportation for him. Not only that, he’s proficient with various types of guns. He’s a retired versatile combatant, forced to retire due to injuries.”

Nan Qiao was shocked!

Usually he seemed so gentle and sweet, yet Housekeeper Liang was so impressive!

“I never thought your family was full of hidden talents!”

Nan Qiao thought of someone, Mrs. Zhang who took care of her.

“What about Mrs. Zhang? Isn’t she one of those impressive figures too?”

“My Qiaoqiao is indeed wise, you guessed it right. Mrs. Zhang is also quite formidable, especially in combat.”

Nan Qiao: “…”

Nan Qiao often wondered if, in Li Yehan’s estate, everyone from the housekeeper to the gardener secretly trained.

No wonder Li Yehan’s estate is so secure!

“Some retired normally, some were forced to retire due to injuries and couldn’t find their place; they came to my estate instead. While ensuring the estate’s safety, they also find a place to retire and keep themselves busy.”

Li Yehan’s words resonated with Nan Qiao.

The environment at Li Yehan’s estate was impeccable, not to mention its location.

Everything from clothing to food was within, perfectly suited for retirement.

“Once I retire, I’ll also retire at the estate.” Saying this, Nan Qiao already felt like living a carefree life.

“Qiaoqiao, you can retire right now, I’ll earn money to support you.”

Nan Qiao laughed, her own money enough for a leisurely win.

“But I can’t stay idle.” She’s used to being busy.

Chatting, the two returned home.

Housekeeper Liang courteously opened the car door for Nan Qiao.

As for Li Yehan, Housekeeper Liang didn’t need to; he opened the car door on his own.

Mr. Li isn’t important, but the Young Lady is most important.

“Young Lady, welcome home. Knowing you didn’t eat dinner at home, the chef prepared dessert for you. Will you have it now or later?”

Seeing the polite yet kind Housekeeper Liang in front of her, Nan Qiao truly found it difficult to associate him with the cold, combat figure Li Yehan described.

Nan Qiao quickly snapped back to reality, “I ate too much tonight, don’t want any more. Housekeeper Liang, keep it for yourselves.”

Nan Qiao touched her stomach, truly feeling overly full.

Li Yehan holding Nan Qiao’s hand as they left, said, “Do as the Young Lady instructed.”

Housekeeper Liang watched them walk away, calling for the guarding bodyguards.

“Did you see? The Young Lady is so good to you all. Such nourishing night snacks she just offered to you, then you take them. From now on, be sure to protect the Young Lady’s safety well, understand?”

Unanimously, the bodyguards said: “We will surely protect the Young Lady with our lives!”

Housekeeper Liang was very satisfied, their pledge was well stated.

“Go on then, eat up, so you can keep watch well.”

Staying up late was a task for the youngsters.

He’s too old to stay up late.

Eating the most expensive nutrition, staying up the latest night.
