Chapter 1248: Shield

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes naturally drifted towards Bo Yanching.

Yaen Chi seemed to know as the speaker was on, “Brother Yan, let me borrow Jiaojiao for two hours, once she’s coaxed, I’ll return her to you.”

Just as Bo Yanching was about to speak, the person in his arms moved slightly, discreetly leaning against him.

Yaen Chi asked, “What, she doesn’t want to go?”

Bo Yanching’s lips curved slightly, “She’s being lazy.”

Yaen Chi pondered for a moment, “Jiaojiao, I’ll buy you bubble tea, and I have pastries from Lan Xiang Square in my car, all bought for you.

Come with me for a bit, we’ll be back soon.”

Nan Jiaojiao blinked, “Are you trying to kidnap me?”

Yaen Chi was momentarily stunned, “I wouldn’t dare, Brother Yan is watching.

Even if I sold myself, I couldn’t sell you.”

“Oh.”

“Wanting found a new job.

I can’t ask in detail, but can you take some things to her and ask about it for me?”

With that said, Nan Jiaojiao immediately understood, “So you want to use me as a cover.”

“Your bluntness is making me blush,” Yaen Chi said.

Bo Yanching took the phone away, “If you keep calling yourself her brother, I won’t lend her to you.”

“No, no, no!

I was just joking with my words, I was wrong!”

Nan Jiaojiao laughed, “Where are you?

I’ll go with you.”

“Downstairs.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, agreed, and after hanging up the phone, she asked Bo Yanching, “Do you want to go out for a walk together?”

Bo Yanching held up his phone to show her, the screen displaying a spreadsheet that she couldn’t understand, “I still have some work to finish.

It’s okay to go with Yaen Chi, he’ll look after you.

If you get tired, I’ll come pick you up.”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at his leg silently.

She felt he was just teasing her seriously.

“Never mind then, I’ll just deliver the things, and by the time I’m back, it’ll be dinner time.

How about you come down then, and we can go out to eat.”

Bo Yanching looked at her and agreed, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Nan Jiaojiao intended to head out like that, but felt she was dressed too sloppily.

After all, she was going out and had to look presentable, so she changed her clothes.

When she was leaving, Bo Yanching glanced at her, as if there wasn’t much difference from her previous outfit—they were both loose-fitting.

At least she had a pretty face.

As she exited the community gate, Nan Jiaojiao saw Yaen Chi standing by his car.

He waved at her and reached out to take the items, then paused, “Didn’t you bring that piggy bag?”

“What piggy bag?

It’s got an impressive background, it’s a Peppa Pig spin-off bag!”

Oh, that pig that they all agreed was uglier than a blow dryer—sure, it was a spin-off.

Indeed, children’s tastes are not easy to understand.

Yaen Chi wisely chose not to continue the topic.

He opened the passenger side door for her, made sure she was seated safely, then walked around the front of the car and got into the driver’s seat.

Once her seatbelt was fastened, several boxes of pastries were placed in Nan Jiaojiao’s lap.

On the exquisite boxes, the words “Lan Xiang Square” were outlined in gold thread.

Nan Jiaojiao, with her sharp eyes, pointed at the extra boxes in the back seat, “Didn’t you say they were all for me?

Why are you hiding some?”

Yaen Chi pleaded, “Sister, I just set aside a few for Wanting, I’m not eating any myself.”

“But you said they were all bought for me.”

“…

I’ll get you more, I’ll make it up to you with more boxes.”

Nan Jiaojiao picked up a piece of mung bean cake, “Just teasing you, I couldn’t eat all of these anyway.”

Yaen Chi held the steering wheel steady, “Such a joker.”

The car was following the directions of the GPS, and Nan Jiaojiao noticed it wasn’t headed towards the convenience store.

She recalled what Yaen Chi had said on the phone.

“Why did Wanting change jobs?”
