Chapter 1381: Unimportant Friend

Nan Jiaojiao pretended to think, “Do you want shredded potatoes?”

Bo Yanching casually pulled a bag, picked a few potatoes, and asked her, “What else do you need?”

“What do we stir-fry it with?

Bell peppers okay?

Are they spicy?”

Bo Yanching pulled another bag, picked some small bell peppers, weighed them, and put them in the shopping cart.

Nan Jiaojiao, quick-eyed, lifted a bag of large bell peppers, “Didn’t you already buy them?

Why buy the same thing again?”

Bo Yanching didn’t even blink, “The big ones aren’t nice-looking.”

They’re not spicy; she wants something spicy, so she needs thin, pointed bell peppers.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t understand these things, and Bo Yanching played along with her, making her genuinely believe it.

“Big Brother Mo, which type of steak do you like?

I’m quite good with them, they go really well with pasta.”

A sweet voice came from the side.

Nan Jiaojiao glanced over and, just her luck, exchanged glances with Mo Tingshen.

She quickly turned her head away, pretending not to see.

Who would’ve known Mo Tingshen would come over directly, first greeting Bo Yanching, then bending over to tease Nan Jiaojiao, “Are you pretending not to see your brother, you cheeky girl?”

Nan Jiaojiao was particularly unsatisfied with him flaunting his height.

She’s not short, but when he bends over, she feels like a little kid.

Not even acknowledging him, she turned her head to ask Bo Yanching, “Uncle Bo, who is he?”

Mo Tingshen…

The moment she called “Uncle Bo,” Bo Yanching’s heart trembled; to play it safe, he wrapped his arm around her waist to keep her from running, and without blinking said, “Mo Tingshen, just an unimportant friend.”

“Oh,” she raised her voice, “then let’s not talk to him anymore.

We’re finished shopping, let’s go back.”

Bo Yanching: “Okay.”

Mo Tingshen directly grabbed the other side of the cart, chuckled, “Pretending, huh?

I don’t know what to eat tonight anyway; you bought so much, let me tag along for dinner.”

Nan Jiaojiao instantly replied, “My family has only two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks.”

Mo Tingshen chuckled through gritted teeth, “No problem, brother will buy you some.”

Oh, he’s got such thick skin.

Qiao Man listening beside felt quite embarrassed, she tugged Mo Tingshen’s sleeve, “Big Brother Mo, aren’t you quite familiar with Brother Bo?”

Why does it seem like an introduction, as if they’re meeting for the first time?

Mo Tingshen glanced at a certain kid, clearly upset, and smiled, “No worries, we often play like this, I’ll take you to join them for dinner later.”

“Uh?

Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”

Nan Jiaojiao suddenly felt bright inside, very happy, then unexpectedly, Qiao Man looked towards her, “Then excuse us, Miss Nan.

I bought some steak and fruit; later I’ll cook for you to try.”

“…” For the first time, Nan Jiaojiao felt like she was at a loss for words.

The conversation reached this point, refusing would not look good.

Bo Yanching’s hand on her waist patted lightly, seeming to soothe her, leaning close and whispered in her ear, “Don’t take it to heart, the Qiao family has considerable influence in Rongcheng City; let’s give Qiao Man some face, I’ll buy you some milk tea later.”

Nan Jiaojiao: “Make sure it’s iced.”

Bo Yanching applied a bit of force, almost pinching her waist, but luckily controlled his strength, keeping it on his hand.

This pushy little girl!

He gritted his teeth and agreed, “Okay.”

This made Nan Jiaojiao happy, but not overly so.

Although Mo Tingshen and Chu Yao didn’t have anything originally, Chu Yao moved to Capital City largely due to Mo Tingshen; she only has two good friends, one forced away, how could she have a good attitude toward Mo Tingshen?
