Chapter 1376: Begging for a Favor

After entering the living room, he asked Nan Jiaojiao to close the sliding door to the balcony.

He carried her to the sofa, picking up a piece of Osmanthus Cake for her.

“We’ll go to the old residence for dinner this weekend; Aunt Chan is coming over.”

Nan Jiaojiao nestled in his arms, with a throw pillow behind her waist, “She told me she’d come to see me.”

“This time she’s not just coming to play; previously, Grandma went to Green City to deliver the betrothal gifts.

Your grandfather accepted both the gifts and Grandma warmly but didn’t agree to let you marry me.

Luckily, Grandma went; if it were me, maybe your grandfather wouldn’t even let me in.

Aunt Chan heard the news from somewhere, and since her exhibition opens in a neighboring city, she’ll come over for a few days after the first exhibition ends.

If you agree, I plan to go with Aunt Chan to Green City to propose to your grandfather.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes moved mischievously, “I didn’t ask my grandfather to do that.”

“I know, the elderly can’t bear to part with you.”

Bo Yanching toyed with her hair, finally asking the question he’s been afraid to ask: “During that time you stayed in Green City, did your grandfather mention anything?”

After returning from the Capital City, Nan Jiaojiao first stayed at Jiang Yu’s place for a few days.

At that time, Jiang Yu hadn’t taken any call-outs, and the two of them caused chaos at Mist Garden for two days, leading to Nan Jiaojiao being driven out by her master.

She packed her bags and went straight to Green City, staying with Old Master Nan for nearly a week.

Bo Yanching wanted to go but didn’t dare.

He also asked Nan Jiaojiao, with Old Master Nan nearby, courteously inviting him to visit when he’s free.

Bo Yanching, being sharp, sensed the underlying message from “visit” and “when free.”

It was a warning not to disturb.

Bo Yanching understood well, having cared for the beloved granddaughter, now getting married and moving far away; Old Master Nan put up a front, and Bo Yanching dared not defy him.

But he went later, intending to appease Old Master Nan, who engaged him in two days of chess.

Whenever the topic of marriage arose, Old Master Nan cleverly changed the subject, leaving Bo Yanching opening his mouth multiple times but never uttering the words, his attempts all failing preemptively.

“He didn’t say anything; he invited you to visit, right?

Didn’t you and Grandpa get along well those days?”

Bo Yanching smiled, “We did.”

But it was as if with an outsider.

“Jiaojiao, help me out; I really want to marry you.”

Nan Jiaojiao squinted, “What if I don’t?”

He lowered his head to kiss her, brushing her lips briefly before pulling away, not far, playfully nudging her nose.

In the seductive tone she loved, he softly begged, “Please, I’m begging you.”

Nan Jiaojiao felt her heart itch with desire, pulling his neck down to successfully steal a kiss.

As she tried for more, Bo Yanching turned his head away, holding her hands to stop her.

Nan Jiaojiao refused to let go; he sat up, lifting her along with him, his hands held her waist, feigning seriousness, “Not like this, without status, being overly intimate isn’t proper.”

“Why don’t you give in?

Bo Yanching, don’t you think you’re acting like a careless man who won’t take responsibility?”

Bo Yanching looked down at her, the light from above perfectly illuminating his face, “Will you plead with him?”

“I will!”

“Heh…”

He slowly grinned, lifting the hand cradling her nape, lowering for a kiss—not a deep kiss, nor a lingering one, just lightly brushing his lips over hers as Nan Jiaojiao’s feelings intensified.
