Chapter 1154: Shining

Fortunately, Yaen Chi was just teasing her for a couple of lines.

Seeing her put down that bit of baggage and talk to him like she used to, he decided to let her off the hook.

Yaen Chi wasn’t picky with food, he could eat whatever they ordered, his taste was quite diverse, but he didn’t eat much.

In the afternoon, Ye Wanting took leave and accompanied them for a walk nearby.

They also had dinner together.

Wanting wanted to take leave from the convenience store as well, but one of the sisters who was supposed to work today had family matters, and there was only one university student working part-time like her, who would be too busy.

Ye Wanting didn’t respond, but Nan Jiaojiao yawned a few times and really couldn’t hold on, wanting to go back to sleep.

“I left a little gift on your bed, remember to check it when you go back tonight.”

“I didn’t prepare a gift for you, don’t buy me anything next time, or I’ll feel bad holding it.”

“There’s no need to feel bad, it’s not anything expensive.

You can just make it up to me next time.”

Nan Jiaojiao yawned again, her eyes were slightly closed, leaning against the seat, too lazy to even lift her head, “Are we at your convenience store yet?”

“It’s just ahead.”

“What time do you get off work?”

“I’ll be working till two in the morning.”

“So late…” Nan Jiaojiao’s voice grew softer, sticky, her eyes simply not opening, “As long as you’re happy, stay safe.”

“Mm-hmm.”

When they parted, Ye Wanting was reluctant to say goodbye.

She asked Yaen Chi to wait for her a moment, then dashed into the convenience store, grabbed lots of snacks and two bowls of oden, gave one to Yaen Chi, and entrusted the other with him for Nan Jiaojiao, so she could heat it up if she woke up hungry.

Yaen Chi glanced at the two bags of snacks she was carrying, took out his wallet and pulled out a few reds, “Let me pay.”

“No need!

My treat.”

Ye Wanting pushed back, her hand inadvertently touching his hand, Yaen Chi’s dark eyes slightly narrowed, looking up at her, “These things must cost as much as your night’s part-time pay, right?”

Ye Wanting nodded honestly, “There is, but it’s okay, I wanted to treat you guys.”

Yaen Chi asked, “Not enough money?”

“No!

There’s enough!

You gave me plenty, and I don’t have much to spend on.

I’m just used to it, I don’t want to be idle, plus I sleep late, I negotiated with the boss to let me work until two.

He didn’t want me working so late, but there aren’t many people at the convenience store at this time.

I can read medical books, there are rarely early classes, so I can sleep a bit more.”

Yaen Chi looked at her for a couple of seconds.

“Alright then.”

He put the money away, wallet back in his pocket, took the snacks from her, “Thank Jiaojiao for me.

I’m staying in the Capital City these days, reach out if you need anything.”

“Okay!”

Yaen Chi put the stuff in the trunk, “Go on in.”

Ye Wanting nodded, glanced towards the car, Nan Jiaojiao already asleep against the seat.

She waved to Yaen Chi, then jogged back to the convenience store.

As she nearly reached the entrance, she turned back and waved to him again, the light behind her enveloping her figure, her brows arched, smiling lightly with one hand behind her back, illuminated by the glass lights.

Her whole little face seemed to be glowing.

Yaen Chi’s lips curled slightly, and he waved back to her.

Once she was inside, he also drove away.

On the road, the car moved slowly and steadily.

Downstairs at the apartment building, Yaen Chi took a close-up shot of Nan Jiaojiao’s face, just about to send it to Bo Yanching, when Nan Jiaojiao suddenly opened her eyes.

Her clear eyes immediately locked onto him, like a little wolf cub.
