Chapter 109: Topping the Trending Searches

Shen Shichu couldn’t refuse her, fearing that if he didn’t agree now, he might not even see her face later.

With gritted teeth, he said, “Fine.”

“After lunch, I’ll come to find you.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s indifferent voice had just reached his ears when it was followed by the beeping sound of the call being disconnected.

Shen Shichu took the phone down, looked at the screen in astonishment, his eyes filled with a fixed color.

This woman was getting harder and harder to control.

He dried his body with a towel, deleted the call log, and walked out.

Ye Shiqing had just woken up, leaning against the headboard; the quilt had slid down below her shoulders.

Hearing the door open, she looked over with sultry eyes.

“I thought you had left.”

Shen Shichu’s eyes tightened.

Holding her under him, he kissed her, “It’s still early, how about we sleep a bit more?”

Ye Shiqing pushed him away and complained, “Aren’t you supposed to be taking wedding photos with sister?”

“I’m just saying goodbye,” Shen Shichu tickled her waist, “Don’t be so jealous, I am yours.”

Ye Shiqing bit her teeth forcefully and pulled him down by the neck, huffing, “Mine, all mine.”

She hadn’t dared before, but now, after their relationship became clear, she grew bolder, daring to speak such words without restraint.

“Alright.”

Shen Shichu smiled, but the laughter was wrapped in a chill, catching Ye Shiqing off guard and making her shiver, “It’s so cold, Brother Chu, would you close the window, please?”

“There’s no need for that.”

On the other side, Nan Jiaojiao found it hard to go back to sleep after waking up.

She made herself a cup of milk tea after a simple wash and turned on the TV to Peppa Pig as she took her milk tea to the balcony to drink.

Lu Zhenzhen’s call came through, and upon answering, she was greeted with several minutes of scolding.

Nan Jiaojiao was relatively calm and waited until Lu Zhenzhen finally took a breath to coolly ask, “What about Bo Yanching?”

“He compensated me with a handbag, pah, that’s not the point, just check the news yourself.”

Lu Zhenzhen sent her several links.

The news about Bo Yanching taking Jih Mingyue to the hospital for treatment and staying with her all night had topped the trending searches, followed by an explosive tag.

Among the headlines stirring up gossip was one:

Shock!

Master Bo suspected of bringing Jih Mingyue into his circle of friends, gaining the recognition of the affluent, Jih Mingyue likely to marry into a wealthy family.

There was only one photo, Bo Yanching and Jih Mingyue, followed by Yaen Chi, stirring up a lot of speculation.

Nan Jiaojiao looked at the news with an expressionless face and asked an unrelated question, “Is the bag pretty?”

Lu Zhenzhen paused, her throat almost smoking from all the swearing, and here Nan Jiaojiao was, completely unfazed.

Out of urgency, she sprung from the bed, dressed, and was ready to go see her.

“Don’t come, I’ve seen it all, I’m fine.”

“Really fine?” Lu Zhenzhen was worried.

“We’ve already separated, even if he’s with another woman, it has nothing to do with me anymore.

Besides, if I go to him like this, what does that make me?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s head had never been quite clear, but when it came to situations she wasn’t sure about and couldn’t handle well, she preferred to avoid them for the time being.

Perhaps Lu Zhenzhen was too angry to speak anymore.

After a moment, Nan Jiaojiao coaxed her, “How about the bag?”

The conversation had circled back to the beginning, and her ability to joke and sidestep issues had become increasingly smooth.
