Chapter 1498: Hard to Say Goodbye

Bo Yanching flicked her forehead, “You’re just quick-tongued. Have you ever thought of me first when something happens?”

Nan Jiaojiao rubbed her forehead, unconvinced, “But I did come to you about Su Xinying’s matter this time, didn’t I?”

She really had a point!

It’s only trivial matters like this that she’d bring up to him without a care. When it came to real issues, he was always pushed down her list of priorities.

Bo Yanching didn’t argue with her. She gave her reasons, and he just accepted them.

“Alright, let’s not talk about it. Should I come to pick you up for lunch?”

“I have to accompany Master Su to meet a client in the morning. We might have lunch with the client too. If not, I’ll let you know in advance.”

Bo Yanching sighed, “Okay, whatever you say.”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at him, inexplicably feeling he had the grievance of a neglected wife.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, leaned in, and gave him a peck on the cheek.

“I’m off!”

Bo Yanching grabbed her arm and pulled her back, holding the back of her neck for a long kiss.

The result was having to reapply her lipstick.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t dare linger in the car any longer. When she got out, her legs were wobbling, and it took a couple of shakes to stand steady before she bolted away.

As soon as she entered the company, she was caught by Yuanyuan, who hooked her arm and peeked out with a grin, “Jiaojiao, having such a hard time parting, huh?”

“Sister Yuanyuan, don’t tease me.”

“Shy, are you shy?”

Yuanyuan poked her arm, “I see you like him a lot. I wasn’t spying, you know. I was just standing here eating a bun, almost finished it before I noticed you. Sweet, gosh, so sweet!”

Nan Jiaojiao was terribly embarrassed, too shy to respond coherently.

Su Miaotong’s client appointment was at a café, and Nan Jiaojiao went along.

The clients were a newlywed couple, deeply affectionate, having just registered their marriage not long ago. Both came from well-off families, and the husband wanted to commission a set of jewelry for his wife to wear at the wedding. When they mentioned they hadn’t found a dress designer yet, Su Miaotong offered to design the whole set.

E.Y had no specific rule against it; if someone had the ability, they could design both clothing and jewelry.

The couple was easy to talk to, familiar with Su Miaotong’s skills. After discussing their ideas, they agreed to it.

Nan Jiaojiao noticed that Su Miaotong’s clients were usually quite similar to her in temperament. Besides Lin Shuyun, all the ones Nan Jiaojiao had met recently were mild-mannered and easygoing, which made her job easier.

They took the clients to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

As lunch was wrapping up, Su Miaotong handed Nan Jiaojiao a card to go settle the bill.

Leaving the private room, Nan Jiaojiao pulled out her phone. She had sent Bo Yanching a message before the meal and now finally had the time to check and reply.

“Hello, I’m here to settle the bill for 502.”

Nan Jiaojiao handed the card to the receptionist, and a hand reached from behind hers to pass another card, “Bill for 502 goes on mine, settle together.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned her head, “Dad?”

“Yes.”

Ye Congwen responded lightly, “Having a meal with friends here?”

“No, I’m with my boss, taking clients out. It’s reimbursable, I don’t need yours.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t beat around the bush, firmly insisting on not using Ye Congwen’s card. Though Ye Congwen said nothing, his hand continued to extend the card, but ultimately, he conceded and pulled it back.

After paying the bill, Nan Jiaojiao nodded to Ye Congwen and prepared to leave.

“Jiaojiao, I want to talk to you.”

She turned, “About me quitting?”
