Chapter 1019: Just Tell the Truth

Yaen Chi planned to secretly create a small chat group excluding Bo Yanching and share the photos of him uncovered so everyone could have a laugh.

But those photos couldn’t even make it out the door.

They still had to be deleted!

Bo Yanching lit a cigarette and placed the ashtray by his side.

After smoking half of it, he said calmly, “Tomorrow, I’ll pick up Jiaojiao.”

“Aren’t you supposed to go—”

Halfway through the sentence, Yaen Chi suddenly realized and immediately looked up from his phone, “You’re taking her there?”

“Mm.”

“You better think it through.

Didn’t you say before that, with all the mess going on at the Bo Family, it’d be better if she doesn’t get involved?

If you take her there tomorrow, how are you going to explain it to her?”

Bo Yanching didn’t reply.

The smoke curled around, his long eyes narrowed gently, and his handsome face became blurred.

After a long time, he extinguished the cigarette, “We’ll tell her the truth.”

…

The next day.

Nan Jiaojiao was woken up by the ringtone.

She fumbled to turn it off twice, but it rang a third time, and squinting at the screen, it was Bo Yanching’s call.

Nan Jiaojiao declined it directly.

She tossed the phone onto the carpet and ignored it.

By the time she woke up, it was almost nine o’clock.

She sat up abruptly, rushed into the bathroom to freshen up, and went downstairs after dressing neatly.

At the dining table, there was only Gu Qing.

She seemed to have just awoken too; the sandwich on her plate was untouched, and the egg was only half-peeled.

She looked up and saw Nan Jiaojiao.

“Precious daughter, you’re awake?”

Nan Jiaojiao pulled out a chair, “Godmother, where are Godfather and Grandfather Pei?”

“Dad went for a walk, and your Godfather went to the company.”

Gu Qing handed her the peeled egg, “Don’t worry about them.

They’ve been having breakfast at seven for decades.

I never got used to it, so I sleep until I naturally wake up to eat.

I don’t stay up like them.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, “Senior brother didn’t call me, so I should be free today.”

“That’s good, I’m taking a rest too.

Perfect, you can help me take care of the flowers and plants at home.”

Nan Jiaojiao softly replied, “Mm.”

The clothes she wore weren’t convenient, so after breakfast, she went upstairs to change into something more comfortable, stepping over the phone on the carpet.

By noon, neither Elder Pei nor Pei Zhaolian had returned.

Lunch was simple.

After eating, she planned to take a nap.

The maid came in and said, “Madam, there’s a car outside that has been waiting since morning.

The person inside says he’s here to see Miss Jiaojiao.”

Gu Qing asked, “Did you find out who he is?”

“He wouldn’t say, but he mentioned he’s the son of an old friend of yours.

He came in a rush today and felt it wasn’t appropriate to visit you without notice, fearing it would be impolite.

He claims there’s an important matter with Miss Jiaojiao, and he’s becoming quite impatient from waiting, so he took the liberty to interrupt.”

Gu Qing chuckled, “Speaking so formally.”

She asked Nan Jiaojiao, “He must be someone you know, do you want to see him?”

Of course, Nan Jiaojiao knew who it was.

She just didn’t expect Bo Yanching to find his way here.

And to have waited outside the door all morning!

Suddenly, she felt a bit restless, “I’ll go out and take a look.”

“Okay.”

Gu Qing escorted her a few steps, realizing she couldn’t keep up.

Despite appearing calm, the young lady walked quite quickly.

Son of an old friend, huh?

Gu Qing had many friends, from all walks of life, and didn’t think much of it.

Nan Jiaojiao quickly reached the door.

She immediately saw Bo Yanching.

His car was parked under a tree, and he stood beside it, the midday sunlight filtering through the branches falling on his shoulder, the shadow at his feet stretching across the grid pattern on the ground.

As soon as Nan Jiaojiao arrived, he took his hand out of his pocket and walked towards her.
