Chapter 1175: Together

“Yeah, my senior’s home is here.

His trip to Rongcheng City was purely by chance.

Even after returning, he doesn’t stay at home; he just eats and then goes back to his apartment.”

Bo Yanching just wanted to find some topics to chat with her about.

Suddenly, he thought of the Pei Family.

He didn’t feel it’s appropriate to directly ask about the relationship between Nan Jiaojiao and the Pei Family, so the only connection he could think of was Pei Dongshi.

Nan Jiaojiao told him without a moment’s hesitation, which Bo Yanching found very pleasing, and his tone softened a lot.

“So how did you get to know Mr.

Pei?”

“Because of Zhenzhen.”

Nan Jiaojiao had just started to speak when she suddenly realized something and looked sharply at Bo Yanching.

However, she dared not meet his eyes, quickly glancing away, pursing her lips tightly, afraid she might accidentally reveal something, yet she seemed torn about whether to share it with him.

Bo Yanching guessed what she was thinking, “Miss Lu got lost when she was little, I know about this.”

“You know?

Then do others know?” Nan Jiaojiao looked at him intently.

Bo Yanching casually replied, “Yaen Chi and the others don’t know.

Even if they heard, it would just be rumors.

I had some interaction with the Lu Family and was close with them when I was young, but as my grandmother’s health declined, we rarely went out, and gradually drifted apart from the Lu Family.

But it happened that the day Miss Lu got lost, I was visiting the Lu Family, so I knew.

For years, I didn’t hear any news about her until five years later when they found her again.”

Nan Jiaojiao stared at him unblinkingly, “You didn’t tell anyone?

Your relationship with Yaen Chi and the others was so good.

At that time, you were young too.

Could you really resist curiosity and not tell anyone?”

“There’s nothing to say.

Just happened to stumble upon another family’s secret.

If spread, it would definitely damage the relationship between the families.”

Nan Jiaojiao understood partially; she lacked understanding in worldly affairs, especially the interactions among wealthy families.

She nodded blankly, “Anyway, when I was about a teen, I went to play with her.

It happened that senior was visiting Rongcheng City for business, and Uncle Lu invited him over.

I was there that day too.

Zhenzhen had always been by Uncle Lu’s side; she could listen in on any meeting.

She interacted with my senior several times and felt he was a good person.

I stayed at the Lu Family’s house for those few days, and happened to have a sketchbook in my luggage.

One time, while Zhenzhen and I were painting in the courtyard, my senior saw that sketchbook.”

Bo Yanching raised an eyebrow, “Then he invited you to partner up?”

“I’m not that impressive!”

Nan Jiaojiao passed a washed bowl to him, using her right hand lightly, as she had used her left hand for cooking earlier.

She handed over the bowl, and Bo Yanching slowly reached out to take it.

She stared at him for a couple of seconds and suddenly laughed.

“Don’t we look like those determined individuals overcoming disabilities, helping each other like good friends?”

Bo Yanching furrowed his brows slightly, flicking her on the forehead, “I’m chatting seriously with you, where is your mind wandering?”

“I just feel that way, don’t be mad.”

She squeezed some hand soap into her palm, making bubbles, and said casually, “At that time, I was still a kid, and my senior had just started his business.

Maybe for that reason, he didn’t underestimate me and asked me to draw a few paintings for him.

Later, he had me design some stuff.

Eventually, we naturally ended up together.”

Bo Yanching felt a sudden rush of emotion, “Together?”

“Together for E.Y!”

“The words you choose!”

Bo Yanching shot her a sideways glance, and held her hand under the faucet, turning the water down a bit.

He scooped some of the foam on her hand, washing their hands clean together.
