Chapter 1924: Just for a Taste

Nan Jiaojiao’s arrogant streak has followed her since she was young, gradually molded by being around Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu taught her everything, except he never forced her to wear a cheongsam, nor did he inspire her with the emotional intelligence to speak gently, since she never felt wronged her entire life. With her skills, others only had the part of holding her in esteem, and there was never a time she had to bow her head.

Seeing Jiang Yu off, Nan Jiaojiao circled around Bo Yanching, “What else are you hiding? When did you buy the wine?”

“I had Han Chuan buy it early this morning, from Elder Jiang’s favorite place. I left it in the car and just brought it down with me.”

That was probably during the time he sent someone to the hospital.

Han Chuan’s life is truly a bit rough.

Nan Jiaojiao hadn’t noticed the items in his hand, and now she was thinking about the two boxes of pastry, wanting to sneak a piece, but Bo Yanching picked her up single-handedly.

She wriggled under his arm a bit, “My master prepared a midnight snack for me!”

“You’re not allowed to eat it.”

Nan Jiaojiao frowned instantly, “That’s a waste of the elder’s thoughtful effort!”

Bo Yanching slowly turned his gaze to her serious face and chuckled, “Alright.”

He made a turn and instead of heading to her courtyard, he went back to Jiang Yu’s mansion, directly heading to the dining room.

The craving in Nan Jiaojiao’s stomach surged upon smelling the aroma, she was so excited, she happily asked the servants to bring over two sets of chopsticks and bowls.

But after the utensils were set, Bo Yanching didn’t put her down, “See it? All the delicious things.”

Nan Jiaojiao almost started naming dishes, but she suddenly realized that the comment was merely to notify her to look at a table full of food.

She was very alert, “Let’s eat a little, after all, it’s prepared, if not eating it would be ungrateful.”

Bo Yanching picked up a piece of boiled cabbage with his chopsticks, rolled it with a piece of braised pork, and fed it to her.

As the taste spread in Nan Jiaojiao’s mouth, it was extraordinary, her eyes never left the food, secretly planning where her next attack would be, “You might as well put me down, I can eat by myself, holding me like this must be tiring.”

Just as she finished speaking, she distinctly heard a cold laugh from above her head.

The chill seemed to directly rush to her crown.

Just as she turned her head, her eyes hadn’t made it to his face, Bo Yanching, holding her, turned and walked away.

“What are you doing?”

“I only intended for you to catch a whiff of the aroma, I made an exception by feeding you a bite, the filial act is fulfilled, but wanting more is impossible.”

Nan Jiaojiao was dumbfounded, was he really this mean!

This was like having a knife drawn over one’s neck, with the tip refusing to move away, still pulling back and forth above the wound, terribly tormenting.

“You can’t do this!”

She held back for a while, trying to muster a curse to scold him, but after thinking for a while she could only manage a “bastard”!

Bo Yanching’s steps didn’t halt at all, he wasn’t tired either, carrying her all the way back to the Begonia Courtyard, locked the place, and carried her into the side room.

Nan Jiaojiao was exhausted from cursing the entire way, not even making it back before she ran out of steam, resting quietly in his embrace for a rare moment.

Bo Yanching helped her find sleepwear, told her to go bathe, adjusted the lighting brighter, and waited outside for her.

At that moment, someone came knocking at the door, Bo Yanching went to open it, Aunt Mou stood at the entrance holding a lantern.

“Mr. Bo, I forgot to mention, there was a burst water pipe in Miss’s room, it was temporarily repaired the day before yesterday and can’t be used yet, the master needs to come for a thorough repair tomorrow, a room has been arranged for you in the main house, you may rest there tonight.”
