Chapter 1762: Even I Don't Dare Call Her That

Han Qi was very angry, as he raised his hand halfway, Xiao Yu immediately nimbly dodged.

Han Qi reacted quickly too, hooking onto Xiao Yu’s shoulder and pressing down, insisting on making Xiao Yu look shorter than him, and said through gritted teeth, “So what if I’m a simp! When I pursued her, I never hid it. Yes, I was a simp, but at least I did it with dignity.”

Xiao Yu struggled to raise his eyes, but as soon as a hint of teasing appeared in them, Han Qi pressed his shoulder and head down together.

After all, there’s still a degree of shame to be had. Han Qi warned, “You better not say nonsense in front of her, or I’ll deal with you!”

“My relationship with Jiaojiao…”

“You damn well call her Jiaojiao!” Han Qi slapped him a few times, “You keep calling her that, hurry up and change it! Why are you calling her so intimately? Even I don’t dare call her that!”

Xiao Yu originally wanted to say that he and Nan Jiaojiao were not that close, but he didn’t get the chance to finish, just “Jiaojiao” was enough to make Han Qi act like he was possessed by a guard dog, hitting heavily, leaving Xiao Yu annoyed. He dodged and shouted, “Touch me again, and see if I don’t spill the beans!”

Han Qi immediately got off him.

He definitely wouldn’t admit he was intimidated, his eyes smiling with a hint of menace, “Tell me what she’s doing in your crew, what’s her connection to you.”

Xiao Yu rubbed his shoulder, looked sideways at him, “Fine, call me brother.”

“Brother!”

“…” Xiao Yu was choked, “You shameless thing.”

…

Bo Yanching stood by the car, as Nan Jiaojiao came out, he exhaled the smoke, extinguished the half cigarette in his hand, and threw it into the trash when he went to meet her.

“Miss Lu, thank you for your trouble.”

Lu Zhenzhen said, “You really seem like a parent dropping off their kid, very parental.”

Not just one person thought Bo Yanching had a strong parental vibe, but Lu Zhenzhen was the only one daring enough to say it so bluntly.

“The person’s fed and hasn’t been lured away by any big bad wolf. I’m going home for my beauty sleep now, goodbye.”

The driver pulled the car up front, Lu Zhenzhen opened the door to the back seat and got in, not even bothering to look at them.

Nan Jiaojiao glanced subtly at Bo Yanching’s expression, “Don’t misunderstand, she is not saying you’re old.”

The man raised his eyebrow slightly, “Then what’s she saying?”

Nan Jiaojiao originally wanted to console him with a few words, but didn’t want to go against her conscience, she discreetly held his hand, “Go across the street and buy two skewers of candied hawthorn, do you want some?”

The topic changed so bluntly.

Bo Yanching held her hand tightly, pulling her in front of him, Nan Jiaojiao didn’t stand firm, falling into his embrace, Bo Yanching held her, leaning back against the car, his head tilting back out of habit, then lowered his head to gaze at her.

His voice low and hoarse, “I’ve had some wine, don’t really feel like eating sweets, I’ll rest a bit and then go with you.”

Nan Jiaojiao smelled the alcohol closely on him, a faint red wine scent wafting from his shirt collar.

“Was tonight’s event important?”

“Yes,” he replied hoarsely, “There’re a few overseas partners, back when I was establishing myself abroad, they helped me a lot, they’re elders, I must be respectful.”

It’s rare for him not to be able to accompany her at night, he mentioned it in the afternoon, planning to take her along. But Nan Jiaojiao wasn’t comfortable in such settings, she didn’t want to go, so he didn’t force her, worried she might not eat properly on her own, he personally called Lu Zhenzhen, wanting Miss Lu to take Nan Jiaojiao out for a good meal.
