Chapter 1306: Deception

Gu Qing asked Nan Jiaojiao when she would visit the Capital City again, and she vaguely answered before hanging up.

Pei Dongshi opened a pack of chickpeas, tossing them into his mouth one by one, and when she put down her phone, he asked, “Why are you still hanging around here instead of sticking to Bo Yanching?

Are you here to steal Master’s herbs again?”

“Is that stealing?

You have such a way with words.

I just picked a couple of handfuls, it’s not even that expensive!”

Pei Dongshi’s eyelid twitched, “Say ‘it’s not that expensive’ one more time!”

“…” She stayed silent.

“Those herbs from Master can’t be bought with money.

They’re just toys for you.

Only someone with no concept of money would think that herbs are just herbs.

Even the ten stalks of Green Bloodworts Bo Yanching gave you aren’t the most expensive here.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s hands trembled.

She always thought Medicine King Valley was poor since who in their right mind with a fortune would only drink Shochu Liquor that costs twenty or thirty yuan per pound!

Oh, playing with herbs is indeed costly.

Thinking of it this way, Nan Jiaojiao felt relieved.

“If you’re really that idle, I can find something for you to do.”

“I have things to do!”

Pei Dongshi glanced at her disdainfully, “Besides eating and waiting to die, what else do you do?”

She confidently replied, “Falling in love!”

Pei Dongshi chuckled, “Isn’t the wedding still far off?”

Ever since Nan Jiaojiao agreed, Bo Yanching has been planning the wedding.

Even the passing dogs wish to spread the word, as if finally exposed their relationship proudly to the world.

Pei Dongshi suffered from this.

Nan Jiaojiao’s entire outfit came from E.Y, while Bo Yanching changed his mind every day.

Pei Dongshi suspected it was Nan Jiaojiao fooling around, but when he showed up angrily to confront her, he found her with a bewildered look and realized this naive sweetheart knew nothing.

She didn’t want a summer wedding, complaining it was too hot, claiming she’d melt under the sun.

Bo Yanching indulged her, agreeing instantly, but now it’s only May, and they’d have to wait until late September when autumn cools down.

He’s willing to endure that.

Who in their right mind spoils their lover to such an extent?

“Since your wedding dress isn’t decided yet, you might as well design it yourself.

After all, you’re capable of doing it.

Besides, you’ll have four months to spare, go learn something at E.Y.”

Nan Jiaojiao shot upright as if waking from the dead.

Just as she opened her mouth, before a sound came out, Pei Dongshi cut her off directly, “Spare me the excuses.

Considering your young age, I’ve been the one supporting the company these years.

You’d rather be lazy than help me out.

How heartless can you be?”

“I…”

“I’m going to the company tomorrow, wait for me in my office.”

“But…”

“I won’t reveal your identity.

I’ll find someone to guide you, you’ll start from the basics, it’s not tiring.”

Fine, Nan Jiaojiao only heard the last phrase “it’s not tiring,” hesitantly nodding, “Alright.”

Pei Dongshi’s mouth subtly twitched upward, covering it with a light cough.

So easy to trick; surviving until now without being kidnapped is purely thanks to her being too boorish for traffickers.

In the afternoon, Bo Yanching came to pick her up, directly driving the car inside.

Pei Dongshi was still there.

The two men sat together smoking, while Nan Jiaojiao seized the opportunity to go to the Medicine Garden and picked another handful of herbs.

There was an event in the evening organized by Mo Tingshen.

Bo Yanching invited Pei Dongshi to join, but he politely declined, then eagerly pushed Nan Jiaojiao into Bo Yanching’s arms and quickly shut the door.

Nan Jiaojiao straightened her neck, keeping up appearances, and said, “Senior Brother discussed some business with me today.”
