Chapter 1724: As Long as My Son Can

Bo Yanching finished his shower and came out to see Nan Jiaojiao already at the dining table, having added two bowls of rice, with only a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table.

Understanding fully, he rolled up his sleeves, and asked her, “What ingredients are left in the kitchen that haven’t been cooked?”

Nan Jiaojiao clenched her teeth, her small face looked conflicted, torn between wasting and embarrassment, she chose virtue in the end.

“There’s beef and fish left.”

Bo Yanching picked her up with one hand, “Come watch me cook, help me out?”

“Why do you always ask that as a question?”

“Afraid you’ll scratch me.”

“I’m not a cat.”

Nan Jiaojiao followed his lead and got up, joining him in the kitchen.

Actually, she had tried cooking before, learned from videos, but paused them many times and the outcome was still wrong.

Bo Yanching had long gotten used to it, never had high hopes for her cooking skills, nor did he wish she would learn.

In less than half an hour, two dishes were ready.

Nan Jiaojiao was beside him the whole time, from some point onward, she couldn’t understand a single step.

“Is it cooked? This quickly?”

Bo Yanching tapped her forehead, “Fish and beef don’t need to cook for too long, they’re easy to be done, you chose well.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t feel praised at all.

She muttered softly, “I will learn someday.”

“You don’t need to learn, as long as I know how.”

He always said that and Nan Jiaojiao’s pride suddenly fired up, “But there shouldn’t be only one person in the house who knows how to cook, it’s too tiring for you.”

“It’s fine if my son knows how.”

“Your son… where do you have a son?”

Bo Yanching laughed, “There will be one in the future, I’ll teach him to cook for you.”

Nan Jiaojiao stared at him, “Are you favoring sons over daughters?”

“I can’t bear to let my daughter do household chores!”

Bo Yanching took the two bowls of rice back to the kitchen, poured them back into the rice cooker, and scooped out two bowls of hot rice again. He praised, “Rice’s steamed pretty well.”

“Thank you…”

Nan Jiaojiao reached out with both hands to take it, but Bo Yanching lifted his hand and dodged, then held her hand and led her out.

“Try some, see if it’s spicy.”

Bo Yanching picked a piece of beef, specially made into a small piece to feed her.

Nan Jiaojiao opened her mouth and ate it, giving him a thumbs up, “Delicious.”

“Eat more, there’s plenty.”

Bo Yanching gave her so much that her bowl was almost overflowing, she used her hand to block it, she barely had the chance to pick her own food, just finishing what’s in her bowl was already filling.

Bo Yanching cleared the bowls to wash them, she heated water and made two cups of peach tea, waiting for him to come out and drink together.

“It’s my dad’s twentieth anniversary tomorrow at Yuelai Hotel, I’m going to deliver jewels.”

Bo Yanching paused, “Lin Shuyun has always been critical of your designs, picking at them; where did she get jewels?”

“Once I deliver them, she’ll have them, I’m going to ask for money.”

Bo Yanching’s eyebrows twitched, “I’ll go with you.”

“No way, you’ll scare them to death if you go.”

Bo Yanching put down his water cup, and pulled her by the waist into his embrace, “What if the Ye family members bully you?”

“My big brother will be there.”

Bo Yanching’s thin lips tightly pursed, looking disapprovingly at her, but his gaze wasn’t a bit threatening. Nan Jiaojiao tiptoed to kiss him and immediately he softened.

“I won’t go unless Miss Lu can accompany you, otherwise I won’t let you go, give the jewels to Brother Pei and let him go.”

Nan Jiaojiao laughed, “He would never ask my family for money, but I am going to ask for what I deserve; can’t let my hard work go to waste.”

Bo Yanching asked, “No room for negotiation?”
