When Qiao Nian received the call, she happened to be getting water in the living room. Hearing this, she opened the refrigerator door, took a bottle of Evian and walked to the sofa to sit down.
"...So far there has been no movement in Continent M."
"oh."
She responded, immediately put her phone on the coffee table, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of water, and said to Bao Jingxing, "I understand."
Bo Jingxing looked at the girl's delicate features and whispered into the night breeze on the dock: "Qiao Nian, I apologize to you for what I said that night."
The girl's eyebrows were quite frivolous, but when she heard the man on the other end of the video whispering "I'm sorry," her eyes moved slightly, she slowly put down the water in her hand, and said casually: "What did you say that night?"
"I……"
"I don't take it to heart, and you don't need to take it to heart either."
Bo Jingxing instantly understood what she meant, and a wry smile flashed across his lips. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "If you say that, I feel even more sorry."
Qiao Nian would scold him or show his face.
He felt better.
However, Qiao Nian was very generous and always tolerated the excessive words he said that night, which made him unable to let go.
Qiao Nian was very direct: "You don't have to think so much. We are just ordinary friends. It's normal for you to have your own concerns."
Bo Jingxing looked deeply into her eyes and apologized in an extremely gentlemanly manner: "I'm sorry."
"..." Qiao Nian didn't answer this time.
She really didn't like accepting apologies from others, especially an apology like Bo Jingxing's insistence on giving her an apology, which was actually quite boring.
She knew very well that she and Bao Jingxing were acquaintances who had met each other a few times at most, and they might not even be considered ordinary friends.
This time, when M State interrupted cooperation, Bo Jingxing, as the person in charge of the Ninth Institute, asked her about countermeasures. In fact, there was nothing to apologize for.
If the person who asked her that night was Ye Wangchuan, she might feel a little uncomfortable.
But when Bo Jingxing asked her, she really didn't feel offended.
People are close and distant.
She never felt it was wrong.
Bo Jingxing also saw the suppressed impatience and indifference of the girls in the video, so he did not continue the topic and instead said: "These two from F state..."
Qiao Nian relaxed his brows: "No need to stay. I told David to leave after delivering the things."
Bao Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
"Yes." Qiao Nian responded this time, which was regarded as an answer: "You don't need to thank me. After all, it was me who caused this conflict. I should be responsible for it."
"Mr. Ye talked to me about this. He said that this day would come sooner or later. I thought about it myself and what he said made sense." Bao Jingxing's eyes were full of light and he smiled: "So Miss Qiao, you don't have to take the responsibility to me."
Take it upon yourself. You are still the youngest among us. At your age, I don’t have as much pressure as you. You don’t have to shoulder so many things either.”
"OK."
Qiao Nian didn't explain her thoughts to him. She just nodded and seemed to be easy to talk to.
Bo Jingxing knew that she agreed so quickly but didn't take what he said to heart, and he wasn't sad either. He smiled and found a topic to talk about and hung up the phone.
Qiao Nian hung up the phone and received a call from Jian Jin.
"Who are you talking to on the phone? You've been talking to me for so long. I called you several times and you were on the phone all the time."
"a friend."
Qiao Nian doesn't beat around the bush.
"You have something to do with me?"
Jian Jin remembered the business: "Didn't I tell you to help you find that person last time? I found something."
