Chapter 1271: Let Me Feel Your Pulse

Nan Jiaojiao isn’t the type to have patience.

There are a lot of clothes in the dressing room, but she only pushed open two wardrobes, glanced briefly, and picked out a plain cyan-colored Chinese-style long dress, its long sleeves with a layer of thin gauze perfectly covering the injury on her arm.

When she went out, Bo Yanching had just finished his tasks, tossing a tea bag into the cup, but before he could pour the hot water, she came in.

Bo Yanching looked at her from head to toe, “Already done?”

“Does it take long to pick an outfit?”

Bo Yanching knew all too well her laziness, so he spoke some flattering words: “You look beautiful, the dress looks beautiful, tonight my girl is going to overshadow everyone.”

“Actually, I quite indulge in your flattery!”

Nan Jiaojiao trotted over and snuggled into his arms, looking up at him, “But don’t call me ‘my girl’ when we’re outside.”

Bo Yanching almost couldn’t catch her, the force was quite strong, he took a step back, his lower back bumped into the table edge, and he pushed the cup aside, raising a hand to wrap around her waist, “Why?”

“I’m afraid it’s embarrassing, sounds like an idiot.”

Bo Yanching…

“Who are you referring to, my girl?”

He tapped her nose tip lightly, it wasn’t itchy, but suddenly felt warm inside.

Nan Jiaojiao tilted her head to dodge, almost disgusted by her own coyness, quickly disentangled herself from his embrace.

“Are we leaving or not, I’m hungry.”

Bo Yanching leaned back, stood up, and conveniently grabbed the cane placed aside, tapping its bottom on the ground, “When can I get rid of this useless thing?”

Nan Jiaojiao dashed over like an arrow, pinching his wrist, “Let me check your pulse.”

Bo Yanching cooperatively raised his hand, but Nan Jiaojiao squinted, pretending to calculate in an annoying manner, clearly teasing him.

Bo Yanching knocked her forehead in return, “Why are you so naughty!”

Nan Jiaojiao dodged with a smile, “Don’t worry, with proper care, it will heal in less than two months.

With all those expensive medications you’re taking, if you don’t get well, my reputation will be ruined.”

The first two sentences were touching.

The last two sentences suddenly made him feel like his sentiments came too early.

The venue of the event was a twenty-minute drive away.

Recently, Bo Yanching received many invitations from the Capital City, with plenty of people wanting to meet him.

Using the handling of his father’s funeral and injury recovery as an excuse, he politely rejected them all.

However, the Capital City’s elite didn’t give up, and whenever someone organized a banquet, they’d inevitably send an invitation to Bo Yanching.

He hadn’t received any prior notice.

Han Che had communicated with the host, but the phone was answered by the wealthy man’s wife, reportedly elevated from mistress status.

Though she bore a daughter, the wealthy man, elated with having a child late in life, flaunted the thousand-gold banquet, essentially acknowledging the mistress’s status.

As for the original partner, she was also rumored to be a strong woman in business, someone who did not care to attend, but in dealings, the mistress lacked a galaxy’s worth of tact.

Upon receiving Han Che’s call, she mistook it for someone wanting to ingratiate themselves, speaking arrogantly, and later relayed it as a joke to the wealthy man.

All sorts of cats and dogs want to get in.

Once the wealthy man realized the ‘cats and dogs’ she referred to were actually the hard-to-reach Han Che, he angrily slapped her, quickly holding onto the phone to call Han Che back to apologize.

Nan Jiaojiao was unaware of this episode.

When Bo Yanching helped her out of the car, she saw several rows of people standing at the hotel entrance, men and women, young and old, all smiling nervously.

Nan Jiaojiao whispered, “Are they taking a family photo at the entrance?

Should we wait a bit before going over?”
