Chapter 1555: Eating Silently

The lively chatter suddenly died down; now, each person sat in silence.

Sitting in the restaurant, the three roommates squeezed into a sofa like quails, staring blankly, not daring to make a sound.

After ordering the meal, Bo Yanching bent down, resting his arm on the table edge, whispered a few words to Nan Jiaojiao. The soft lighting cast a delicate warmth on his face, a slight smile lingered at the corner of his mouth. Straightening up, he courteously said to the roommates, “I have a few friends here, I’ll go and greet them. Feel free to order anything you like, it’s on me.”

The three roommates quickly stood up but then felt it inappropriate, sat back down, their hands properly placed on their laps.

“Will Mr. Bo come back?”

One of them asked.

The question sent shivers down the spines of the other two, and they nudged her from both sides.

Bo Yanching chuckled, “No, after you finish eating, Jiaojiao will find me, and I’ll drive you back to the university.”

He patted Nan Jiaojiao’s head and strolled away.

He felt out of place here, the girls were too intimidated to speak, it was better for him to leave them be, plus he did spot Yaen Chi in one of the private rooms, heading there to join in.

Once he departed, the three roommates let out a long sigh of relief.

“I was scared to death… I felt suffocated; his presence was overwhelming, I didn’t dare to make a sound!”

“Jiaojiao, your fiancé is quite remarkable, bringing us to a place like this; isn’t he afraid of going broke?”

Nan Jiaojiao replied, “No need to worry, order whatever you like.”

“Are you… going to marry into wealth and become a lady of leisure?”

“Not really, he’s not that rich,” Nan Jiaojiao maintained a calm expression, “He works in a small company as a deputy manager, has some money, but you girls read too many novels.”

“Even the deputy manager commands such presence; what about the general manager… which company is it? What kind of boss can handle an employee like that?”

Nan Jiaojiao blinked, “I don’t know, he’s mentioned it before, but I didn’t remember, nor do I understand.”

“Oh, not understanding is normal; we’re still so young, there’s much we haven’t seen.”

“Jiaojiao, are you sure we can order freely?”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, “Of course.”

She scanned the code and ordered some dessert. Whenever Bo Yanching picked her up from school, they often dined here; she liked the sweets from this place and generously ordered over ten kinds.

The four girls were so stuffed they couldn’t finish, packed the remaining desserts to enjoy later in the dorm.

Nan Jiaojiao called Bo Yanching, finding him already downstairs paying the bill at the front desk, handing her two mints as he turned around.

Yaen Chi came down as well, dangling his car keys, “Girls, your brother will drive you back to university.”

Bo Yanching kicked over, Yaen Chi composed himself immediately, having already parked the car at the entrance. He personally opened the car door for the girls, but no one wanted to sit in the front with him, all squeezing in the back, leaving him wondering whether he had recently become rough in appearance, checking himself in the mirror several times. Then he suddenly heard gasps from the back, silently glanced at the rearview mirror — the girls looked at him with eyes wide open, like he was some kind of freak.

This…

On the way back, Nan Jiaojiao dug out a strawberry pudding, scooped the first spoonful, and asked Bo Yanching if he wanted some.

He tilted his head to avoid, indicating towards the front, “I’m driving, don’t mess around.”

“You’re the one who doesn’t want it.”

Nan Jiaojiao sat back, eating it herself.

Bo Yanching laughed inexplicably, “Still not full.”
