Chapter 1998: Am I Someone Else?

Just out of the police station, Nan Jiaojiao saw Lu Zhenzhen waiting by the car and ran over to leap into her arms.

“Everything’s okay?”

Nan Jiaojiao hugged her waist, “It’s all fine now.”

Lu Zhenzhen ran her fingers through her hair, “Should we suppress the online public opinion?”

“Let’s wait a bit, suppress it in an hour.”

Lu Zhenzhen pinched her small face, “Learning to be sly!”

Nan Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and smiled, then snuggled back into her arms.

Chu Yao was not pleased and deliberately hummed, “Didn’t show up earlier, now you want to take credit?”

Lu Zhenzhen gave her a look, “I’m not like you, dragging her and rushing into the police station.”

“What’s wrong with that!” Chu Yao raised her eyebrows high, “I know well how to handle this kind of public opinion. The method is straightforward and effective. Instead of suppressing the news, wouldn’t it be better to reverse the situation? Isn’t that more effective?”

This was undeniable, Lu Zhenzhen didn’t fault her one bit, just that her impulsive nature would suffer sooner or later.

“Alright, I just came over to check, figure out your own way back, I’m going on a date.”

Hmm?

Nan Jiaojiao came out from her arms, bent down to look into the car, and indeed saw Gao Zhe at the wheel, “Brother Ah Zhe.”

Gao Zhe smiled, “Good evening, Jiaojiao.”

“Good evening, Brother Ah Zhe, goodbye, Brother Ah Zhe.”

Gao Zhe was slightly taken aback, then helplessly smiled as his lips curled; he hadn’t even responded when Nan Jiaojiao had already straightened up.

“Do you have a car, how are you going?” Lu Zhenzhen asked.

Chu Yao unlocked the car with the keys, and a car responded several spaces away.

She pulled Nan Jiaojiao over, but before she could open the car door, a tall man stepped out of a nearby car, and with a motion, caught Nan Jiaojiao’s arm and pulled her into his embrace.

It was Bo Yanching.

Nan Jiaojiao’s elbow swung out, but he blocked it with his palm, then smoothly caught her hand, squeezing her palm with his fingers, “Look before you hit, acting recklessly.”

“It’s my instinctive reaction; if someone else were hugging me, they’d already be hit!”

Bo Yanching looked down, “Am I someone else?”

“Of course not!” Nan Jiaojiao responded without hesitation, “You’re family!”

Bo Yanching made a displeased sound, “No, I should be an outsider; otherwise, how come, despite all this, I didn’t get a single call on my phone from a certain someone.”

Nan Jiaojiao shrunk back her neck sheepishly, “I feel like we have a telepathic connection, communicating through thoughts; you’ve always been in my heart.”

Bo Yanching chuckled, clearly pleased, “Getting sassier, who taught you?”

She certainly couldn’t say it was him.

Now she can read the situation, knows what words can appease someone and what can irritate him. Like a strong and silent hero, being attacked online, thinking of going solo to resolve things. While sipping milk tea at the police station entrance, she considered that Bo Yanching might be upset, but it was such an awkward time that calling or not would both lead to criticism.

Better to keep quiet, besides, he’s easy to appease.

With her lover’s mindset, a few words from her, and Bo Yanching’s anger was gone. Nan Jiaojiao didn’t even dare to show off her satisfaction; she pulled the man’s hand and placed it on her belly, “I’m hungry, let’s eat?”

Bo Yanching was very restrained; in front of others, he rarely gets physical with Nan Jiaojiao. He didn’t pinch her belly, just tapped it twice, then released his hand.

“Xiao Yao, do you want to join?” he asked.
