Chapter 1144: Needs to Be Soothed

When Nan Jiaojiao came over, Mo Tingshen was pushed out from under the umbrella and had to share one with Yaen Chi.

But Yaen Chi was wicked; he’d rather get half his shoulder wet than tilt the umbrella to give Mo Tingshen some cover.

With Bo Yanching and Nan Jiaojiao gone, there was nothing left for the three of them to talk about.

They normally couldn’t stand one another’s faces, yet had to end up in the Capital City together, one after another.

Staying together all the time could only be annoying.

Yaen Chi and Xu Shu tacitly left someone behind, each holding an umbrella as they walked away.

Mo Tingshen leisurely followed from behind, “You two, who has a little bit of heart, come back and hold the umbrella for your brother, your brother will give you a reward.”

No one paid him any mind.

He wasn’t in a hurry, “I recently made some money, want to throw a few billion around, just haven’t decided where to throw it yet.”

Yaen Chi and Xu Shu simultaneously turned back, placing the umbrella over Mo Tingshen’s head.

“Brother, I’m poor, throw it to me to play with, I’ve never seen big money.”

Mo Tingshen glanced at Yaen Chi, then looked towards Xu Shu.

“The hospital needs to buy some medical equipment, we’re short on funds.”

Mo Tingshen teased, “Our Doctor Xu can also say grand things?”

Xu Shu remained unfazed, “Even sages stoop for five dou of rice, I’m asking for money standing up, it’s not shameful.”

Mo Tingshen couldn’t help but laugh, steadying the umbrella handle, “Hold on tight, let your brother think it over, we’ll talk when we get to the foot of the mountain.”

…

Bo Yanching couldn’t stand the bumps, so on the way back, he still rode in the van.

At the apartment building, Han Che gave the car keys to his assistant, supported Bo Yanching upstairs, and only left after entering the home.

Nan Jiaojiao fumbled for the switch on the wall, first turning on the entrance light, then bent down to search for slippers.

The shoe cabinet was so clean that it could be seen all at once, with only a few pairs of men’s shoes, two pairs of slippers.

Nan Jiaojiao had already taken the men’s slippers, but suddenly caught sight of the pink bunny ear slippers next to them, hesitated, then pushed the slippers back in.

“Whose are those?”

Bo Yanching looked at her amusedly, “Who do you think they belong to?”

Nan Jiaojiao frowned tightly, not quite believing, “Mine?”

Before he could speak, she denied it herself, “Who are you trying to fool?

This is my first time at this home, if it were the last apartment, I’d believe it if there were my slippers, but here too?

I just don’t believe it, clearly this place doesn’t even look like it’s lived in long-term, someone else has been here before, right?

These were left by someone else?”

A helpless smile flickered in Bo Yanching’s eyes.

His face had been tense all day, struggling to make an expression in front of others, but somehow, when facing her, a smile could actually show.

This could make him seem very undutiful.

Nan Jiaojiao imagined things for a while by herself, and before he could explain, she started to get angry, kicked off her shoes, flinging each one to the side, and walked in without wearing the slippers.

His arm instantly wrapped around her waist, pulling her back.

Before bumping into Bo Yanching, Nan Jiaojiao grabbed the shoe cabinet, leaning forward as much as possible, preferring to hit the cabinet rather than bump into him.

She was in such a hurry that her knees knocked twice, turning to glare at him angrily, “What are you doing?

Do you want to die?”

“That’s an exaggeration.”

Bo Yanching wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, Nan Jiaojiao didn’t dare to resist him, she had to lean over following his strength, clenching her fists against his shoulder, seemingly holding him, but there was still quite a gap in between.

Bo Yanching hoarsely said, “I still want my life, but you’ll need to coax me, or I’ll be sulking all night, I can’t bear it.”
