Chapter 1905: Why Would I Want That Thing?

Bo Yanching let out a faint hum, “What do I need that thing for.”

Nan Jiaojiao: “…”

She gently nudged him, “Call Han Chuan and tell him not to arrange for hospitalization, stop ordering him around every day.”

Bo Yanching took out his phone and instructed Han Chuan to wait in the car.

Just then, the door was knocked, and Bo Yanching released his hold from Nan Jiaojiao’s waist, “Come in.”

The doorknob turned downwards, and Sister Lai cautiously peeked inside, her gaze briefly scanning Nan Jiaojiao before landing on the tall and slender man.

She bent slightly as she entered, standing about a meter away, with a face full of smiles, “Mr. Bo, Yuan Yuan asked me to inquire about Miss Nan’s injury.”

Bo Yanching’s face remained calm, his mood indistinguishable, with none of the gentle indulgence he showed in front of Nan Jiaojiao evident in his expression. Instead, he frowned at Sister Lai’s words with aversion.

“She’s right next to me. You can speak to her directly. Why are you talking to me?”

Sister Lai was momentarily at a loss, glancing at Nan Jiaojiao, even though she hid it well, there was still a hint of disdain and caution in her eyes. She said nothing, then turned to Bo Yanching, “Yuan Yuan knew you came, she wanted to greet you, but unfortunately, her leg is injured and she really can’t get up, so I’m here to invite you to see her.”

“If her leg is injured, she should see a doctor, not me.”

“But… you are friends…”

Sister Lai’s voice grew weaker. She had heard of Bo Yanching before in the Capital City, but had never seen him in person. It was only recently, being around Song Yuan, that she occasionally saw him from afar. In private, she heard Song Yuan mention the connection between the two families—childhood sweethearts arranged for marriage—and Song Yuan was personally chosen by Elder Bo to be Bo Yanching’s wife. Who would have known that Nan Jiaojiao would come along unexpectedly?

Sister Lai looked down on Nan Jiaojiao, considering her as someone without background or influence. Rumor had it she didn’t even finish university before going around trying to seduce others. A person like her, encountering a man as excellent as Bo Yanching, would surely cling on like a venomous snake. Men have seen all kinds of women; perhaps they find a countryside girl momentarily exciting, but for marriage, it has to match their social status.

Having heard this backstory, Sister Lai felt indignant on behalf of Song Yuan.

But there was no use in her hurry, as Song Yuan neither fought nor contended, patiently waiting for the man to turn back. Even in the film crew, she took such care of Nan Jiaojiao. She had never seen such a foolish and magnanimous official wife.

So Sister Lai often targeted Nan Jiaojiao, believing this woman had ulterior motives. Standing silently aside with a pitiful expression, Bo Yanching immediately worried she might get upset, catering to her every need.

Sister Lai gritted her teeth, suppressed her anger, and forced a smile, “Miss Nan, is your injury serious?”

Nan Jiaojiao replied, “No.”

“That’s great. You’re lucky to have received treatment just in time. It was all thanks to Yuan Yuan bringing you onto the ambulance. You wouldn’t believe it; just ten minutes after we arrived at the hospital, the number of patients tripled, and not a single doctor was available.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s expression remained unchanged.

Seeing that neither hints nor suggestions worked, Sister Lai spoke bluntly, “Yuan Yuan just woke up and asked about you. She’s truly worried. Since you’re alright now, shouldn’t you go see her?”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t want to go, she found it bothersome. But Song Yuan indeed had a favor towards her. Being in the same hospital, it wouldn’t be appropriate not to visit.

“No.”

The one speaking was Bo Yanching. He held Nan Jiaojiao’s hand, casting a cold and unyielding look at the person daring to threaten his little girl, “Move aside.”
