Chapter 1718: Especially Doggy

Bo Yanching responded, “Will Director Chen be filming late tonight?”

Director Chen said, “It depends on the situation. Actually, there are only a few scenes to shoot. Shu Jin is easy to work with, but it’s more challenging with the supporting roles. When they’re on camera together, a lot of things can go wrong, and we’ll have to reshoot if anything is off.”

Producer Zhou added, “Director Chen strives for perfection, but he’s not harsh with the actors. We’ll be wrapped up by ten-thirty at the latest.”

The actors are the first to finish their workday, which means Nan Jiaojiao won’t be done until after eleven o’clock.

Bo Yanching sighed quietly in his heart, and when he left, he couldn’t help but glance at Nan Jiaojiao once more.

The little heartless one was engrossed in her food, not giving him a single look.

After returning to his car, he didn’t stay for long and decided to go back first, planning to come back to pick her up later.

Once Bo Yanching left, there was no gossip to be had, so everyone awkwardly chatted a bit about his current relationship with Yi Qinghuan. With nothing else to say, they all dispersed.

Once almost everyone had left, Nan Jiaojiao picked up the last piece of broccoli, just about to eat it when a head suddenly leaned in from the side and took a bite of it.

“It’s all your fault!”

Ye Linlin’s eyes were red with anger. “I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life!”

Nan Jiaojiao stared at her chopsticks for at least two seconds before silently putting them down. “Nothing to do with me.”

She glanced at the uneaten fish tail in Ye Linlin’s lunchbox. “Wasteful!”

“Who are you calling out? Nan Jiaojiao, I’m going to fight with you!”

“Sure, you little puppy.”

“You’re the dog, just you, you’re such a dog!”

Ye Linlin was so aggrieved. She had just shared a bit of gossip, but ended up becoming the subject of gossip herself. Unable to vent her frustration on anyone else, she clung to the easiest target, Nan Jiaojiao, pushing and shoving her a bit, eventually trying to hide behind her, as though she wanted to bury her face in her back, and retreated amidst countless amused glances.

“Is it over?”

Bo Yanching called right on time.

Most of the crew from the styling team had already left. Su Miaotong, wanting to finish a client’s order, had left early, leaving Nan Jiaojiao to stay and finish up. As she answered the phone, she noticed it was already eleven o’clock.

She instinctively glanced at the sky outside the window.

“It’s still drizzling. You haven’t left yet?”

Bo Yanching said, “I went back after dinner, and calculated that you’d be finishing soon, so I came over again.”

“Wait for me a bit, okay?”

Nan Jiaojiao called out to Ye Linlin, “I’ve finished up here. Don’t touch anything, you’ll lock up later.”

Ye Linlin, for once, didn’t snap back at her, nodding her head in response, pretending to be busy all the while.

Nan Jiaojiao walked out, “I drove myself here. You don’t have to pick me up and drop me off every day.”

“Bored of me?”

“No, I just worry about you.”

Bo Yanching laughed in a low voice, “You lie so smoothly. Hurry up and come out; I’ll take you for a late-night snack.”

She muttered quietly, “It’ll make me gain weight. I’m already pinching flesh on my waist lately.”

“You’re not fat; gaining a few more pounds would be perfect.”

Nobody believed his nonsense, and as she spoke, she walked to the car. Only when Bo Yanching saw her did he get out of the car. He approached her, and a few steps away, the umbrella was already tilted towards her.

Nan Jiaojiao threw herself into his arms, hugging him before letting go.

He wrapped her in his arms, switching the umbrella to the hand that was hugging her, and opened the car door, helping her inside.

“To Aunt Zhan’s place?”

Bo Yanching buckled her seatbelt, and Nan Jiaojiao looked at him with amusement, the smile on her face so wide it almost reached her ears.

“What’s so funny?” he pinched her cheek.
