Jade Picking, Gifting the Elders

Ye Wangchuan was surprised that she was willing to go, but not too surprised.

After all, he knew Qiao Nian well. She had always been a stubborn but soft-hearted person, especially when it came to the people she cared about.

A fine light in his eyes crushed the warmth on the floor. "Call me at noon," he said in a low, slow voice. "I'll pick you up."

Qiao Nian picked up the glass of milk and slowly lowered her head. She took a sip and put the glass back. Her voice returned to its previous casual and frivolous tone. "No need. I'll call a taxi."

Finished, she said, "I have somewhere else to go."

It was Ye Lan's birthday, so she had to give her a birthday gift. Speaking of birthday gifts, she still had to look for Jian Jin.

Jian Jin had a full set of jade jewelry in her possession. It was just right to give it to an elder.

…

It was already close to ten by the time Qiao Nian arrived at school.

In the principal's office.
