Chapter 1208: Peculiar

“Enough, I’ll go to the Bo Family first, and later I’ll have Han Che come pick you up.”

“No,” Nan Jiaojiao sat up as well, “I’ll go with you, no need to go back and forth.”

Bo Yanching was about to get out of bed, but hearing her words, he leaned back and took Nan Jiaojiao’s hand, gently clasping it in his palm.

“I’ll go check things out first, make sure everything’s in order, it’s quite tedious work, you might get bored.”

Nan Jiaojiao clearly sensed the slight sweat in his palm.

She gently pressed her lips, her fingers resting on his wrist, then suddenly lifted them and tapped it, “Then come pick me up later.”

Nan Jiaojiao noticed his unspoken worries, perhaps he really didn’t want her to interact with the Bo family members, if it weren’t for Mr.

Bo’s seventh day, she wouldn’t know where the Bo family’s door in the Capital City was.

This was a bit overprotective, fearing any member of the Bo family might upset her.

But Nan Jiaojiao wasn’t that fragile.

She just didn’t want to make things difficult for him.

Bo Yanching almost impulsively took her with him, a few faces flashed in his mind, and he swallowed his words.

He helped her lie back down, pushed aside the hair on her forehead, kissed her, “Sleep a bit more, at most an hour and a half, I’ll have Han Che pick you up.”

Nan Jiaojiao softly murmured, “Mm.”

She behaved especially obediently in front of him, but once Bo Yanching left, she couldn’t sleep at all, hurriedly getting up to find her phone.

She called her godmother, but still, no one answered.

Then she called Pei Dongshi.

“I was just about to board a plane, anything you need?”

Nan Jiaojiao asked, “Where are you flying to this time?”

“Overseas, business negotiations, I’ll be back in Rongcheng City in a week at the earliest,” a female voice announcing boarding could be heard on Pei Dongshi’s side, he asked, “Why are you calling me?

If you don’t say, I’ll hang up.”

Nan Jiaojiao quickly asked, “Still no news about my godmother?”

“She hasn’t returned yet, why do you keep looking for her?”

Nan Jiaojiao bit her lip, her expression slightly jittery, but she knew telling Pei Dongshi was useless, “There’s something I’d like to ask her about.

If she’s back, let me know.”

Pei Dongshi teased her, “You heartless girl, you do have something on your mind?”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t reply.

His laughter toned down a bit, “If she’s back, I’ll let you know.

These days, you’re in the Capital City, maybe stop by the house, you might bump into her.”

Nan Jiaojiao wasn’t in the mood to chat with him, quickly said a few words, and hung up.

She had always suspected something off about Mr.

Bo’s death.

Wasn’t the coffin opened?

The forensic expert scraped poison from the bones.

It’s been several days, the test results should have been out by now.

But Bo Yanching hadn’t mentioned it to her at all.

She tried asking, but she wasn’t good at probing indirectly, so her clumsy questions exposed her thoughts completely.

Bo Yanching had a serious conversation with her, he didn’t let her get involved, even when she boasted about her own medical skills, he had no hesitation.

It was either to guard her or not wanting her entangled in the matter, afraid of filthy her hands.

No matter how she asked later, he refused to say.

She thought that since she couldn’t pry it out from Bo Yanching, then his stepmother Deng Chan surely knew the truth, but as a junior, she couldn’t ask directly, and since Gu Qing was friends with Deng Chan, it would be best to get some information from her.

Who would have known at this critical moment, Gu Qing went on a trip.

“Never mind!”

Nan Jiaojiao tugged at her hair and went to the bathroom to freshen up; she wasn’t that curious, just wanted to share some of Bo Yanching’s burdens.

Since he wouldn’t let her, she decided to stay out of it.
