"Nan Jing, are you in the research institute? It's already off work at this hour, why haven't you come back yet? Is there something wrong? How about I go pick you up?"
As soon as the call was connected, Chi Yuhang's concerned voice reached Zhan Nanqing's ears.
Zhan Nanjing felt sweet in her heart when she heard this, and the smile on her face deepened, "I have nothing to do, it's just that Xiaojing is working overtime, and I want to stay with her here for a while."
As soon as he heard this, Qiao Jing knew that the call was from Chi Yuhang.
She raised her lips and smiled, and said to Zhan Nanqing: "You'd better go back quickly. You see that your family is waiting impatiently. I don't need you to accompany me. I will leave when I am done with this."
Zhan Nanqing hesitated, "But it's too late. It's not safe for you to go back alone. What if it happens like last time..."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Qiao Jing interrupted Zhan Nanqing.
She knew what Zhan Nanqing was talking about was about being attacked by a murderer on the way.
"The last incident happened not long ago. Even if the other party wants to deal with me again, they won't do it so quickly. Moreover, I was not feeling well at the time, so I was so passive."
"In my current state, even if I encounter the same situation as last time, I can handle it, so you can go back without worries."
Qiao Jing briefly analyzed the situation to reassure Zhan Nanqing.
Zhan Nanjing knew that she had good skills, and after hearing this, she felt that it made sense.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhan Nanjing nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first. If anything happens, remember to call me."
"Okay." Qiao Jing responded, urging with a slight smile, "Go ahead, go ahead."
So, Zhan Nanjing walked out while talking to Chi Yuhang on the phone.
After watching her leave, Qiao Jing looked back and continued working.
In a blink of an eye, the night became darker.
After finishing his work, Qiao Jing took a look at the time and found that it was almost eleven o'clock.
She sorted out the information and prepared to go back.
At this time, a private car passed by the entrance of the institute.
In the car was Lin Yan, who had just finished shooting an advertisement. He was sitting in the passenger seat, and the manager was driving.
When passing the gate of the research institute, Lin Mian suddenly said, "Stop!"
When the manager heard this, he subconsciously stepped on the brakes and stopped the car. At the same time, he asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? What are you parking for?"
After asking, there was no response. The manager was a little suspicious. He turned his head to look at Lin Yan and found that he was staring at the door of the research institute intently.
"What are you..."
The manager hesitated for a moment, then said: "Are you still missing Qiao Jing?"
Lin Yan did not answer and looked in the direction of the research institute silently.
Seeing this, the manager sighed in a low voice, "To be honest, she has been missing for so many years, and there has been no news. The chance of survival is basically zero. If you think about her again, it will only increase your sorrow. It's better to hurry up
let it go."
After saying that, the manager paused and continued to persuade: "You are already old and it's time to find a girlfriend. Don't waste your life's happiness for Qiao Jing."
"Speaking of which, when we were filming just now, the sponsor's daughter kept looking at you secretly. With that shy look on her face, she must like you. I think that girl is pretty good..."
As the manager was talking, he noticed that Lin Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to push the car door open a crack, and looked out of the car.
Seeing Lin Yan's behavior, the manager couldn't help but be curious.
He followed Lin Yan's line of sight and saw a slender figure slowly walking out of the research institute.
Just from the body shape, she seems to be a pretty beauty!
"What's going on? I've never seen you see a woman with such bright eyes before!"
The manager asked the question with a strange expression on his face, but in an instant he showed an expression of sudden realization.
"Oh! I see. You and this woman know each other, right? To be honest, did you secretly fall in love with someone else without me knowing?"
"That's fine. You have to be flexible as a person. You can't hang yourself from a tree. Besides, even if I'm still alive and well, I don't like you anymore. My three children are all four or five years old..."
The manager was talking nonchalantly, and the slender figure gradually approached.
When he saw the other party's appearance clearly, the manager suddenly changed the subject, "Hey, he has a pretty good figure, but it's just this face..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yan had already cast a look of disdain on him, "When did you start judging people by their appearance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan opened the car door and when he got out of the car, he shouted towards the figure, "Qiao Jing!"
Upon hearing this title, the manager was stunned for a moment, and then a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Qiao Jing?!
Did he hear it correctly?
This doesn’t look like it, does it?
The manager once suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
At this time, Lin Yan had already walked up to Qiao Jing, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why haven't you gone back so late?"
Qiao Jing was actually quite surprised that Lin Yan appeared here, and asked casually, "Aren't you also so late?"
Lin Yan shrugged, "Didn't I go to shoot that drink commercial? I just finished shooting. What about you?"
Qiao Jing replied calmly: "I worked a little overtime."
After a brief chat, Lin Yan suggested: "It's very late now and it's dangerous for you to go back alone. I'll see you off."
Qiao Jing pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite to you."
After these few contacts, she felt that it was quite natural to get along with Lin Yan, and there was no sense of distance. It was as if she had known each other for a long time and felt very familiar.
In addition, she knew that Lin Mian was quite stubborn and it would be of no use even if she refused.
Because she had tried to refuse before, but in the end she couldn't resist Lin Miao's persistence.
Therefore, when she heard Lin Yan say this, she simply refused.
The small foreign-style building was not far from the research institute, and it was late at night and there were few vehicles on the road, so Qiao Jing hitched a ride with Lin Yan and arrived home quickly.
After the car stopped at the door, Qiao Jing said to Lin Yan: "Thank you for sending me back. I'll go inside first. You guys go back and pay attention to your safety. See you later."
After saying this, Qiao Jing opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked straight into the house.
Looking at her retreating back, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Until the door of the small foreign-style building opened and closed, and the figure disappeared behind the door, Lin Yan did not take his eyes back, and still looked in that direction blankly.
Seeing him like this, the manager couldn't help but joked: "It seems that you finally came out of the haze and fell in love with someone else. But, your taste..."
Hearing the sound, Lin Yan came back to his senses instantly.
He turned his head and glared at the manager, "What? What are you going to say again?"
The manager laughed dryly and said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it like that. I just said it objectively. She has a pretty good figure and a very good overall temperament. She is very outstanding. It can be said that she is one in a million. This is it.
