Chapter 1414: Don't Let Them Cause Trouble

The old man frowned, “Why is it taking so long?”

“Jiaojiao is afraid of the heat and doesn’t want to wear a wedding dress in the summer.

I also want to give her the best wedding.

If she would agree to marry me now, I’d still be able to make it grand.

I’ve begged her, but she refused, so we had to postpone it.”

He used the word “beg,” not “persuade.”

At least from his language, there wasn’t even a hint of male chauvinism.

Despite his high status, he was willing to humble himself.

If he didn’t truly like Nan Jiaojiao, if he didn’t give her enough dignity and respect, how would he be willing to go to this extent?

Thinking of this, Elder Nan’s expression improved slightly, “Just let her be, then!”

“Of course, Jiaojiao’s requests aren’t excessive.

I’m used to indulging her.

Besides, if we rushed the wedding, some guests from far away wouldn’t be able to attend.

This gives me a few more months to prepare, so it can be more thorough.”

Elder Nan nodded, indicating his approval.

“That bunch from the Ye Family, are you inviting them?”

Bo Yanching’s expression was calm, “Jiaojiao said not to invite them.”

Elder Nan snorted, “Then don’t invite them.

I find them annoying too.

But since the wedding is in Rongcheng, they’ll likely hear about it.

You should prepare early, handle it nicely, and don’t let them cause trouble.”

“Understood.”

With that, there was nothing else to say.

Elder Nan went upstairs to rest.

Once he was out of sight, and he heard the sound of a door closing upstairs, Bo Yanching sat down and separated the black and white pieces, placing them into their respective containers.

At first, he managed to hold it together, but he didn’t know which piece he picked that made his hands start to tremble.

The more he tried to control it, the worse it got, until the piece in his hand fell.

He carefully picked it up, placed all of them into the container, cleaned up, and then got up to leave.

He walked briskly on the way back.

He couldn’t contain the excitement inside.

He understood Elder Nan’s intention; he had agreed.

Being persistent indeed paid off.

He wasn’t afraid of being tested by Elder Nan or being given a hard time.

As long as he knew that Nan Jiaojiao had him in her heart, the marriage would eventually happen.

He had come prepared for the worst.

If necessary, he would put off his work and stay at the Nan Residence until he convinced the old man to agree before leaving.

To his surprise, Elder Nan gave in after just two days.

How could he not be happy?

He wanted to talk to Nan Jiaojiao, but his emotions were too unstable right now.

If he started talking, he’d give himself away.

Later, when Nan Jiaojiao figured it out, she’d definitely tease him.

Bo Yanching took out a pack of cigarettes, still unopened.

He hadn’t smoked a single cigarette since arriving at the Nan Residence.

Now he wanted to smoke a couple to quell the overwhelming joy he couldn’t suppress.

Just then, Nan Jiaojiao called.

He hurriedly removed the cigarette when he answered.

He had just taken a puff and was holding the smoke in his mouth.

He turned his head to exhale, then looked back at Nan Jiaojiao.

She had entered the bedroom by now, lying in bed, her back against a strawberry bear pillow.

The blanket was pulled up to her chin, and she rubbed her face against it, speaking in a soft voice, “Are you back in the room?”

Bo Yanching: “Yes.”

“Were you just smoking?”

“If you don’t want me to smoke, I won’t.”

“I didn’t say you couldn’t smoke.

Go ahead.

You look really handsome when you smoke, and I’d like to watch.”

She smoked for fun but never smoked short ones.

She preferred using a long cigarette holder like Jiang Yu, just for the thrill.

She could go a long time without touching them, and she wouldn’t crave them.

It seemed that after she started smoking, Bo Yanching smoked less.

At home, there were almost no cigarette butts in the ashtray.

Even at gatherings, as long as she was around, he wouldn’t smoke much and would also keep Yaen Chi from smoking.
