Chapter 1598: Waiting for Third Brother Bo?

It’s been a week, and whenever he sees Nan Jiaojiao, he avoids her, trying not to meet her directly. Yet privately, he often sends over delicious food. To cover it up, he delivers a portion to Su Miaotong and to every young girl in the design group brought by Shen Bin, making sure they all get snacks.

He’s usually so stingy, but managing to send something day after day is like he’s bleeding money. It scares Zhou Po so much that he goes to the bank every day to check if any money is missing, fearing that Director Chen might succumb to temptation and do something wrong. Otherwise, why would he often give the crew such benefits?

It always feels like he’s trying to drag people down with him.

That day, the crew wrapped up early, and Nan Jiaojiao forgot to tell Bo Yanching in advance. It wasn’t until she packed up her things that she remembered to call him.

She was leaving with Su Miaotong, and it happened that Nan Jiaojiao was headed to the parking lot as well, so they walked together and chatted along the way. Su Miaotong specially gave a box of pastries from her car to Nan Jiaojiao, saying there were too many people on set, and she didn’t buy much, so it wasn’t convenient to take them out. She also asked Nan Jiaojiao if someone was really coming to pick her up and only drove off after getting a definite answer.

Nan Jiaojiao sent Bo Yanching her location.

Then she stood by the roadside, slowly eating a piece of pastry.

“Jiaojiao?”

A nanny car pulled up in front of her, the door to the back seat opened, and Song Yuan was sitting on the side closest to the door,

holding a cup of coffee, gracefully leaning sideways, and smilingly greeting her, “Are you going somewhere? Should I give you a ride?”

Since Song Yuan joined the crew, she had never spoken to Nan Jiaojiao in public. Occasionally, they’d exchange glances, which felt no different from looking at any other person.

Nan Jiaojiao hadn’t noticed at first, after all, she hadn’t initiated any greetings herself. But in private, when no one from the crew was around, Song Yuan would actively approach her.

She put her phone in her bag and replied calmly, “No need, I’m waiting for my car.”

“Are you waiting for Third Brother Bo?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s brow slightly twitched, “Yes.”

Song Yuan nonchalantly took a sip of her coffee, “I’ve seen you standing here for a while and thought I’d give you a ride. Since Third Brother Bo is coming, I’ll wait with you then, and say hi.”

Nan Jiaojiao: “Suit yourself.”

“By the way, do you drink coffee?”

As Song Yuan spoke, she was already offering a cup of coffee, “I bought an extra cup. If you don’t mind, have it.”

Nan Jiaojiao was about to refuse, but the words got stuck in her throat. She stepped forward a couple of steps and took the coffee.

“Thank you.”

Song Yuan smiled and patted the seat next to her, “Do you want to get in and wait? We can chat.”

Nan Jiaojiao felt quite uncomfortable. She’s not good at socializing, and she wasn’t really on familiar terms with Song Yuan, just with Bo Yanching between them.

She was running out of things to say when out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Bo Yanching’s car coming, so she waved.

Bo Yanching parked the car, his long legs moving quickly, striding over to her in a few steps, clasping her hand in his palm, glancing lightly at the coffee in her hand, “Why are you drinking this?”

“Miss Song gave it to me.”

Nan Jiaojiao gestured towards Song Yuan, who had already gotten out of the car, chuckling as she responded, “I bought an extra cup and gave it to Jiaojiao to drink.”

“Song Yuan?” Bo Yanching asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I’m filming. I have a role in Director Chen’s crew. I’ve been here for almost a week. Didn’t Jiaojiao tell you?”

Upon hearing this, Nan Jiaojiao instinctively glanced at her.

Bo Yanching said plainly, “Why would she tell me that?”
