1689 Someone Knocked on the Door Again
After Ji Nan entered the room, he only sized her up like a gentleman.
He realized that the girl didnât bring much.
He only saw a laptop.
There were also a few sets of clothes by the bedside.
He didnât even see a suitcase. It was obvious that Qiao Nian hadnât brought a suitcase with her at all.
âIsnât this room too small? Do you want me to get someone to change you to a better room?â Ji Nan always gave off a gentle feeling. When he spoke, his eyes were always smiling.
However, in Qiao Nianâs impression, his smile was like a sly fox.
The girl was still dressed in black, but she was not wearing a cap in the room. Her exquisite face was very eye-catching.
âNo, thanks.â
Ji Nan raised the corners of his lips. âDonât tell me youâre not changing rooms because youâre afraid that itâll be troublesome?â
Qiao Nian also looked at him, her clear eyes seemingly saying, âWhy are you thinking so much?â
âMy teacher and the others are in the rooms in front. Itâs not convenient to change rooms. Iâll stay in this room. Itâs fine to live alone.â
Ji Nan touched his ear awkwardly and smiled. âI even said I would be a good hostâŠâ
He changed the topic and asked the same question as before. âBy the way, why did you come to the Independent Continent this time?â
Actually, even if Qiao Nian hadnât said anything, Ji Nan had already guessed something.
After all, she had mentioned the word âteacherâ just now.
Ji Nan guessed that she had come with the scientific research team from her country.
Hence, after Qiao Nian gave him a simple explanation, he looked as if he had expected this. He turned his head and said, âThen, havenât you gone out for a walk in the past two days? Do you have any plans for tonight? If you donât, Iâll take you out for a walk and treat you to a meal.â
Qiao Nian leaned against the table, one hand in her pocket. Her eyes were lowered, and her dark eyelashes hid the emotions in her eyes. She seemed nonchalant. She was about to tell Ji Nan why she had called him over.
Unexpectedly, there was another knock on the door at this moment.
This time, the other party knocked quickly and urgently.
They were here!
Qiao Nianâs eyes turned cold. The corners of her lips curled up into an evil and arrogant smile.
âWho is it?â Ji Nan happened to be closer to the door. Without waiting for Qiao Nian, he rushed over to open it.
The door opened.
There were a few people in hotel uniforms outside. When they saw him, they seemed to be dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.
âHello, may I ask⊠may I ask if Miss Qiao lives here?â
Ji Nan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with them.
His expression did not change as he blocked the door with one hand and did not move aside. There was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were sharp. âAre you from the hotel?â
They were already drenched in a cold sweat. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were flickering.
âAre you guys from the hotel?â Ji Nan asked again.
The leader, a blond man, stammered. âAh, right, sorry. We might have the wrong room number.â
âDidnât you say that you were looking for Miss Qiao?â Ji Nanâs smile deepened at his reaction. He said calmly, âYouâre right. This is Qiao Nianâs room. Whatâs your business?â
They were so frightened that they didnât even dare to look at him. They had almost the same reaction and shook their heads violently. âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry. We found the wrong person. We found the wrong person.â
âExcuse me, weâll check again.â
After saying that, seemingly afraid that he would continue asking and so frightened that they peed their pants, they ran away without looking back.
