2279 We’ll Get Married Next Year The middle-aged man regretted his poor eyesight and repeatedly agreed. “I’ll also follow up on this project.” Qiao Nian’s eyes were calm as she said, “If you need my help, you can look for me anytime. I’ll stay here for this month.” The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head. This time, he agreed willingly. “I was wrong previously. I hope everyone can cooperate happily from now on.” Since they had agreed to work together, everyone naturally sat together to share their progress in the A.I. Chip research. At first, Tian Chen and the others did not think that Qing University had any advanced technology. After all, China had never been famous in the chip industry. After some discussion, Tian Chen’s people were surprised to discover that the team members led by Jiang Zongjin were not inferior to them in terms of chip professionalism. Jiang Zongjin’s research in certain fields had even surpassed their current level. Hence, everyone in Tian Chen put away their initial contempt and started to communicate calmly. … Qiao Nian spent the entire day at Qing University. Seeing the sky outside, Nie Mi found an opportunity to call her out. When the two of them walked to the corridor, Nie Mi could not wait to ask the girl, “What happened to your hand? Who did it?” Qiao Nian looked at her right hand and retracted her gaze. She did not say much. “I had a small accident yesterday. I’m fine.” Seeing that she was unwilling to tell him the truth, although Nie Mi was anxious and angry, he did not pursue the matter. He only said, “Then, how long will you be recuperating in Beijing?” “About a month.” Qiao Nian closed her eyes and thought for a moment before answering him. Nie Mi wanted to say something but hesitated. After a long time, he sighed and finally said, “I don’t understand how serious your uncle’s illness is that you don’t even want to study and insist on taking a year off. You’re already injured. Why don’t you rest more? You still have to return to Rao City in a month. I really don’t understand you!” Qiao Nian put her hands in her pockets and said, “I’ll explain to you when the matter is resolved. I can’t tell you yet.” Nie Mi looked at her for a few seconds. He probably could not control her. His old face was a little depressed. He sighed helplessly and waved his hand. “Forget it. You have your own things to do. I won’t stop you. Take care of yourself outside. Don’t work too hard.” Qiao Nian’s eyes softened and she nodded slightly. “I know.” Seeing that she did not know at all, Nie Mi blew his beard and thought of something. “You and Young Master Ye… are still together?” Qiao Nian looked at him in surprise, as if she did not understand why he was asking about this. Nie Mi knew that he was thinking too much upon seeing her expression. He touched the bridge of his nose and said awkwardly, “I thought you young people weren’t determined. I thought you’d separate after being together for a while.” “We’ll get married next year,” Qiao Nian said casually after retracting her gaze. “Cough, cough, cough!” Nie Mi almost choked on his own saliva. It took him a long time to calm down. He looked at her deeply and asked, “Your father and grandfather agreed?” “Huh?” Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows at him. Nie Mi suddenly felt stifled and immediately waved his hand. “Forget it, pretend I didn’t ask.” 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 He was very unhappy. He felt like his precious had been stolen. “Young brat!” In the entire Beijing, Nie Mi really could not find anyone more outstanding than Ye Wangchuan and more suitable to be by Qiao Nian’s side. In a way, the two of them were quite compatible.
