Chapter 1390: Taking Things Seriously

“Mom!” Deng Chan’s eyelids twitched, “Can you stop calling me ‘stepmom, stepmom’?

It sounds especially like you’re scolding someone.”

“Oh,” the Old Lady’s expression remained calm, “What your Aunt Chan means is that she has time recently, and we can go talk with your grandfather.

Last time, I didn’t go, just sent the gifts to your grandfather, but he didn’t even let Xiao San in.

He only accepted the gifts and didn’t give any response.

This time, I plan to go to Green City with your Aunt Chan and Xiao San to formally propose.”

That phrase “didn’t let Xiao San in” sounded so amusing that Nan Jiaojiao almost couldn’t hold it in.

She secretly glanced at Bo Yanching, sneakily pressed down the corners of her lips that were curling up, “I don’t need to go, right?”

“Proposing is the man’s responsibility, you don’t need to go.

Grandma likes you, as long as you nod, you just need to marry in.

For other matters, Grandma will handle everything.”

She was referring to the Bo Family in the Capital City.

It’s uncertain what kind of arrangements Old Lady and Bo Yanching have made over the years.

No one from the Capital dares to interfere in Rongcheng City, which is like an impregnable fortress.

However, they will certainly intervene in Bo Yanching’s marriage, considering that, in their eyes, Nan Jiaojiao has no family background.

The Ye Family is unable to back her up, especially since she’s not favored.

The fact that Old Lady personally said such words was equivalent to telling Nan Jiaojiao that no one would bully her.

Deng Chan somewhat understood the situation with that person in Green City, feeling amazed that Elder Nan would wholeheartedly protect Nan Jiaojiao even without a blood relationship, similar to her own situation.

They hadn’t met yet but already had a good impression.

“Jiaojiao, after the proposal, let’s see what your grandfather says.

We’ll agree to any requests he has.

For now, you don’t need to go over.

You can spend a couple of days with your grandfather when you have time.”

Nan Jiaojiao smiled lightly at Deng Chan, “Okay.”

Bo Yanching caught her hand under the table, slowly wrapping it into his palm, his thumb pressing against her palm, gently squeezing.

Their eyes met, and the tenderness in his eyes made her face heat up.

Deng Chan didn’t stay long; she left after finishing her meal, having some wrapping-up work at a nearby city’s art exhibition before coming back.

The Old Lady planned to take a nap.

Nan Jiaojiao also slept for a while.

Bo Yanching didn’t wake her up.

She set her own alarm and slept for an hour.

When she went downstairs, Bo Yanching was in the living room with the two little ones, building blocks.

“You guys aren’t sleeping?”

Bo Yanching looked up, “It’s a habit, I don’t feel like sleeping.”

He raised his hand to take hold of Nan Jiaojiao.

“It’s drizzling, so it’s not really suitable for the amusement park.

We can only do indoor activities.

Qingshan wants to go to the stables.

I was thinking, Miss Lu’s stable has a play area where Qianqian can play, and you can ride horses.

Shall we go?”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, “I’m fine with anything.”

She took a moment, “Then let’s go.

Are we coming back for dinner?”

“It depends.”

Bo Yanching stood up, took her hand, then bent over to pick up Qianqian, heading out, leaving the overlooked Bo Qingshan, holding a piece of block, full of resentment.

Can’t see me, can you!

He insisted on going along!

In the car, Nan Jiaojiao called Lu Zhenzhen, navigating her best friend privileges skillfully.

After arriving, she and Bo Qingshan changed into riding outfits, each choosing a horse.

Bo Qingshan’s horse was smaller, and he happily followed behind Nan Jiaojiao, especially since Third Uncle was kept busy playing with Qianqian, his mood improved.

He joyfully imagined galloping hand-in-hand with his Sister Jiaojiao.
