Chapter 1236: Easy to Fall for Someone New

Bo Yanching was caught off guard by her sudden change of topic.

The shift was too drastic.

He looked at Nan Jiaojiao in surprise.

Her face had regained some color, though her lips were still a bit pale.

After biting her lips, she forced some blood back into them.

Her body leaned softly against his, her chin resting on his shoulder.

From this angle, as she looked up, her eyes appeared somewhat dreamy, giving off a cute yet silly vibe.

She was both sleepy and hungry.

Bo Yanching suddenly understood; her mentality was really carefree.

Also, truly lazy.

Too lazy to waste her breath discussing someone who had just hurt her.

It’s not that she’s not bothered; she just thinks there’s no need.

Anyway, she’ll get her satisfaction eventually, so she’s not in a rush.

After figuring this out, Bo Yanching picked her up with one arm, “I’ll take you downstairs to eat.”

“What are you doing!

Are you out of your mind!”

Nan Jiaojiao’s sleepiness was scared away by him, and she quickly jumped off him, looking at his foot apprehensively, anger rising at once.

“You better take care of yourself and stop messing around!

Otherwise, if your leg becomes permanently injured, I won’t want you anymore!”

Bo Yanching raised an eyebrow, “We just got the marriage certificate today, and you’re already planning on leaving me?”

Such words should not be casually spoken, as they’re prone to causing separation.

Nan Jiaojiao retorted aggressively, “Uncle Bo, have some self-awareness.

I only covet your good looks; the age gap is irrelevant.

Whilst your injured leg doesn’t affect your face, it does impact your overall attractiveness.

Watch yourself because, after all, I’m young and prone to be fickle!”

How could she deliver this trashy speech with such self-assurance?

Ignoring the age difference is her act of great mercy?

Her words were just shy of outright warning him not to become an old fool.

Bo Yanching was beside himself with anger.

He couldn’t resist pinching her cheek, “You really dare to say anything with that mouth of yours.

Go ahead, show me your fickleness!”

A hint of guilt flashed in Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes, though it lasted only a moment.

This time, she didn’t back down at all, removing his hand.

“Try me.

Keep mistreating your legs, and see if I still want you!”

She fiercely glared at him.

After glaring, she left.

As she stepped out the door, she moved as if sliding on oil, quickly running away.

Her bravery only lasted so long; any more would expose her, especially now that Bo Yanching couldn’t walk fast.

She swiftly ran downstairs to seek Deng Chan’s protection.

Bo Yanching really didn’t know how to deal with her; not a single woman in this house could he afford to provoke.

“Where are you going?” Mo Tingshen called out to Bo Yanching heading to the kitchen.

“Jiaojiao is hungry.

I’m going to make her something to eat.

Is anyone else hungry?”

“Don’t bother.

Your hand isn’t healed yet.

I ordered barbecue; it just arrived at the door, Han Che went to get it,” Mo Tingshen draped his arm over the back of the sofa, gesturing upward, “Since you’re going that way, why don’t you bring out a few plates?”

Bo Yanching glanced at him, without a word, he indeed went to get the plates.

Truly rare.

Thanks to Nan Jiaojiao, Mo Tingshen got to enjoy the rare pleasure of bossing around Bo Yanching.

So, after the barbecue was plated, Mo Tingshen especially picked out the expensive and delicious ones, grabbing extra for Nan Jiaojiao.

Deng Chan also prepared a plate, taking one skewer of each kind and arranging some sliced fruit alongside it, placing it in front of Bo Mu’s black-and-white photo.

Nan Jiaojiao’s gaze followed her, naturally seeing Bo Mu.

She still felt uneasy, fearing her conscience may be troubled.

Before eating the barbecue, she silently offered a thought:

“Dad, it’s time for supper.”
