Chapter 3268: The Empress Has Left

Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone was stunned after they heard Nie Qixing’s hoarse questioning.

“What does he mean? I think he means his being in a wheelchair has something to do with this person from the Beijing delegation?”

“Who is this person? Isn’t Nie Qixing backed by the reclusive families?”

“She actually can make Nie Qixing end up like this? Is there a mistake?”

Some of the whispers reached Li Xin’s ears, who was conflicted about how to apologize to Master Cheng. He turned his head and saw Nie Qixing fall back into the wheelchair in a sorry state. His heart tightened, and he no longer wanted to try to save face. He grabbed Master Cheng’s hand and apologized solemnly.

…

On the other side.

Nie Qixing watched the girl walk away as he fell back into the wheelchair.

With a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his face was distorted and his facial expression was malicious. His eyes were fixed on the girl. His gaze was like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, ready to pounce and bite at any time.

Qiao Nian walked in front, but Ye Wangchuan did not immediately leave.

Noticing Nie Qixing’s unusual gaze., he stopped in his tracks and warned him faintly, “I advise you not to have any crooked thoughts. Otherwise, the reclusive families might not be able to protect you.”

Nie Qixing only noticed that Ye Wangchuan had not left when he spoke.

He lowered his eyes and sneered. “Oh? Are you so confident that the reclusive families can’t protect me?”

Ye Wangchuan’s gaze swept across his eye and injured leg. His lips curled into a faint smile. “The truth is obvious!”

Ever since Nie Qixing became disabled, he had been especially sensitive to the way others looked at his legs and eyes. He immediately sensed where Ye Wangchuan was looking.

He was like a venomous snake that had been stepped on. He had no choice but to retract his fangs, and his expression became gloomy and silent.

Ye Wangchuan did not want to talk to him. He just saw the strange look in his eyes, so he stopped to warn him.

Since the other party understood what he meant, he did not stay any longer. He went after Qiao Nian.

“Young Master Qi.”

At this moment, Shadow found Nie Qixing in the middle of the exhibition hall. He quickly walked over and pushed the wheelchair for him.

Nie Qixing closed his eyes to hide his hazy gaze and softly asked, “Where’s my sister?”

Shadow guessed he would ask about Nie Qingru. He pursed his lips and quietly answered, “The Empress has already left.”

Nie Qixing’s hands in his lap clenched into fists. His gloomy expression became mocking and painful but was soon replaced by resentment.

He stopped talking and let Shadow push him out of the crowd.

Outside the elevator.

The girl who had just walked out of the exhibition hall looked down at her cell phone as if she were replying to a message.

Ye Wangchuan walked over and stopped beside her. He glanced sideways and said, “Be careful these days. It seems Nie Qixing won’t give up.”

Qiao Nian had just replied to Guan Yan’s message. She nodded, looked at him with clear eyes, and calmly said, “Nie Qingru will take good care of him. At least, she won’t let him provoke me during this period.”

That was the logic.

However, Ye Wangchuan had a feeling that things were not that simple.

He had not discovered anything that Nie Qixing was doing behind the scenes for the time being. It was just a psychological effect, so he did not continue on this topic. He was about to ask her when she would return to Beijing…

However, Qiao Nian suddenly received a call.
