Song Yuan was staring intently at her, and the moment Nan Jiaojiao glanced over, she seized the chance to interrupt, “Jiaojiao, is it Third Brother Bo?”

Her voice was low, yet deliberately raised just enough for the man on the other end to hear.

She said empathetically, “Is it Third Brother looking for you? Why don’t you go? You being here worries him, didn’t he get me a caregiver…”

She suppressed a sob, “I’m fine, I can try to get along with the caregiver auntie, and my mom will come over tonight.”

Before Nan Jiaojiao could say anything, Bo Yanching had already heard everything, and he followed up, “Did you hear that? She doesn’t need you. Come back quickly.”

Nan Jiaojiao took a breath to calm down.

Bo Yanching added, “I need you.”

She laughed lightly and glanced at her watch, “At this time, are you at the company?”

“No, I’m inspecting the store. I’ll let Han Chuan come to pick you up. As long as you come, I’ll return to the company immediately.”

“Then maybe not,” Nan Jiaojiao leaned against the sofa, “I’ll wait for you to get off work. Come pick me up an hour before you finish.”

Bo Yanching didn’t reply immediately. He didn’t cover the phone either, talking to the management next to him, discussing procedures.

Nan Jiaojiao heard it all, and yet, he had to repeat everything, finally instructing her, “As you wish, I’ll come to pick you up.”

“Alright.”

As she sensed Nan Jiaojiao was about to hang up, Song Yuan made to get up, “Jiaojiao, I just happen to have something to discuss with Third Brother…”

Before finishing, she saw Nan Jiaojiao holding up her phone, the screen already off, “You have something for him?”

Song Yuan looked disappointed, “Yeah.”

“Then call him yourself, don’t you have a phone?”

Song Yuan instinctively cast a resentful glance over, but quickly covered it up, masking her emotions in the blink of an eye, “Never mind, forget it.”

Anyway, I can see him at Bo Residence in a few days.

Actually, she had called before, but Bo Yanching didn’t answer, nor hang up, just waited for it to disconnect. Song Yuan couldn’t help but overthink, and after much persuasion, her mom lent her the phone, and Bo Yanching finally answered. Yet when she grabbed it, she hadn’t even prepared an excuse before Bo Yanching told her politely not to bother him as she needed rest.

It must be Nan Jiaojiao, she must be the reason Bo Yanching doesn’t answer, with her around, he couldn’t say much.

Feeling deeply annoyed, Song Yuan couldn’t help but acidly ask, “You have a great relationship with Third Brother, you went out just now to take his call, right?”

“No, it was a call from a friend.” Nan Jiaojiao looked down at her phone, not at her.

Song Yuan asked, “Almost getting married, and still such a strong bond, truly enviable.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t take the tone as envious, but she didn’t let it affect her. Even when she saw through Song Yuan’s intentions, ignoring her left her with no options.

The caregiver auntie came back after taking out the trash, catching a few words, and bluntly asked, “It seems like your relationship isn’t that close, not relatives?”

Song Yuan: “She’s my…”

“She saved my life; she’s my lifesaver.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s words effectively shut down Song Yuan’s affected demeanor.

The caregiver realized, “I knew it, you two seemed strange, if not for a special relationship, why would she care for you? This lady paid me exceptionally well; I rarely get such straightforward payers, no haggling, even added tips. Ah, so it’s a debt of gratitude, makes sense.”
