After returning to the hotel, Qiao Nuan discovered William’s encrypted message to her.

“Doctor, I just discovered that someone has attacked my firewall. The other party should be a hacker from S City in China. There’s a high probability that they’re coming for you. You must be careful.”

This news shocked Qiao Nuan. She immediately used another encrypted number to contact William.

Qiao Nuan frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

William’s tone sounded pitiful. “Doctor, I was careless. When the other party contacted me, they tracked me through the internet and followed the clues to find you. Fortunately, I reacted in time and didn’t let them get your specific information.”

When she heard that her specific information wasn’t leaked, Qiao Nuan let out a sigh of relief. “Can you find out the other party’s identity?”

“The other party’s technology is also very advanced, and it seems to be an entire team. I can’t find out their identity.”

In order not to be reprimanded, William quickly added, “But there’s a high probability that it’s a family member or an enemy of your grandfather. No matter who it is, it might possibly cause harm to you. Please take care of your own safety.”

“Okay, I got it. If any business from China comes in during this period of time, help me reject them all.” Qiao Nuan rubbed the space between her eyebrows in annoyance. “The problem of the marriage contract has not been resolved yet. I don’t want to cause any more trouble for the time being.”

“I got it.” William sighed. “There are so many wealthy people in China. It’s a shame I won’t be able to earn their money for the time being.”

Qiao Nuan hung up the phone. She was completely speechless with her partner. William was good at everything, but he dared to earn any sort of money. This made her want to ridicule him.

In fact, after Qiao Nuan was brought to the private hospital by Liang Jing and met Grandpa Gu, she thought of the wealthy man with the same surname who had found her through William. Qiao Nuan was also sure that it was wise to reject the other party’s invitation.

Old Master Gu’s illness was not completely incurable, but the risk was very high. Qiao Nuan did not even have a thirty percent chance of success. According to that Mr. Gu’s style of doing things, Qiao Nuan felt that if she were to cure Old Master Gu, she might immediately be thrown into the open sea by that Mr. Gu to be fed to the sharks.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nuan could not help but shiver. She thought to herself that she must not let that Gu know her identity. She had to rush the Qiao family and the Su family to break off the engagement, and then she would immediately take Qiao Ning away from the dangerous city!

Qiao Nuan called Qiao Lin to ask when she would settle the matter of breaking off the engagement. Qiao Lin had constantly been trying to sway her, always avoiding work and not having time. In the end, he simply refused to answer Qiao Nuan’s calls. Qiao Nuan was so angry that she wanted to go straight to Qiao Lin’s company.

Before Qiao Nuan could put her dangerous thoughts into action, she had already waited for Su He at the hotel.

That day, Qiao Nuan had brought Qiao Ning to the zoo in S City. It was almost evening before she returned to the hotel exhausted.

When the hotel doorman greeted Qiao Nuan, he looked at her with a teasing and ambiguous gaze.

Qiao Nuan felt goosebumps all over her body from the doorman’s gaze. She asked warily, “Doorman, why are you looking at me like that?”

The doorman smiled and helped Qiao Nuan carry her bag. “Miss Qiao, there’s a surprise in the hotel lobby. You’ll know when you see it for yourself.”

Qiao Nuan walked into the lobby with suspicious steps. She saw that there was a passageway separated by two rows of pink roses from the hotel entrance to the lounge area of the lobby. At the end of the passageway, the roses were arranged in a large heart shape, where in the middle stood a man in a white suit. He was holding a big bouquet of bright roses in his arms.

Su He saw Qiao Nuan in a white t-shirt and denim shorts, holding Qiao Ning in his arms. He immediately revealed a charming smile.

“Nuan Nuan, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Su He strode towards Qiao Nuan. “Nuan Nuan, these roses were brought back by air from abroad. I’ll give them to you. Do you like them?”

Facing such a scene, Qiao Nuan felt her scalp go numb. The way others looked at her made her feel awkward.

She resisted the urge to beat Su Hup, but Qiao Nuan rejected him three times. “I don’t know you! I don’t like roses! Get lost!”

Su He’s face immediately showed a doting expression. “Nuan Nuan, I know you’re still angry about Qiao Yu and me. I’m not here to apologize to you. Can you stop throwing a tantrum?”

“Do we have a relationship? Why should I throw a tantrum at you?” Qiao Nuan felt that she and Su He were in a completely different dimension and could not communicate at all. Her expression became colder and colder. “Hurry up and get lost. Don’t force me to fight!”

“You still say you’re not throwing a tantrum?” Su He did not take Qiao Nuan’s threat to heart at all. He took a step closer to Qiao Nuan. “Nuan Nuan, we’re engaged. How can you say that we don’t have a relationship?”

She clenched her fists hard in fury.

Qiao Nuan placed Qiao Ning in her arms on the ground and said gently to her son, “Baby, be good. Go to the front desk and wait for Mommy for a while, okay? Mommy has to deal with some annoying things..”
