Chapter 2038: Getting Older

Later, this matter was discovered by Elder Li, who immediately sent people to capture them and take them to the army for training. Even now, just thinking about it makes their legs tremble.

“Learn from it, just in case.”

Bo Yanching loosened the reins, Bo Qingshan quickly grabbed them, gave him a suspicious glance, held his breath not daring to let go, and rode the pony towards the trainer.

Nan Jiaojiao sauntered over, “Why are you scaring him?”

Upon hearing the voice, Bo Yanching turned his horse and approached her, taking Qianqian from her saddle. When changing clothes just now, the little one was led away by Nan Jiaojiao, “He’s not young anymore, let him exercise more often. If he hadn’t been sick when he was a child, he would have already improved his physical condition by now. He’s dragged it out till now and still can’t ride a horse.”

Nan Jiaojiao was very curious, “How was the training? Like you used to when you were a kid?”

She just asked offhand, not knowing Bo Yanching’s expression would suddenly darken.

It was obviously a juicy story to be heard, so she urged her horse closer, eyes bright: “Tell me?”

“Ahem…”

“Tell me!”

“Yaen Chi’s grandfather, Elder Li, long before Qingshan was born, had settled with my elder brother to have Qingshan betrothed to him. When Qingshan was two years old, he ran to the Bo Family to snatch the person but coincidentally, Qingshan’s illness flared up, scaring Elder Li away, and he never mentioned it again.”

Nan Jiaojiao chuckled twice, finding it hard to predict what Elder Li would be like from Yaen Chi’s personality, but piecing together these few people’s words, it’s roughly an image of an old child.

“Well, you can notify Elder Li now to come and pick him up. He’s perfectly fine with great health.”

Bo Yanching glanced at her, reached out intending to touch her face, but Nan Jiaojiao deliberately moved away. His palm missed its mark, he sighed and kept his gaze on her, but his hand wasn’t idle, skillfully pinching Qianqian’s chubby little cheeks.

“It’s not possible now, Elder Li is picky about age, Qingshan is too old.”

Nan Jiaojiao had never heard of a ten-year-old kid being rejected for being ‘too old.’ She couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s a pity, no one’s there to scold him.”

“You’re the one who isn’t scolding him; instead, you’re reporting him, enticing me to scold him.”

Nan Jiaojiao guiltily shrunk her neck, “I’ll take a stroll in the front, giddy-up!”

Bo Yanching chuckled lowly, nudged his horse and followed her leisurely.

Running away as soon as there’s no logic, where did she learn such bad habits.

Auntie Wu called earlier, Bo Yanching said they weren’t coming home for dinner, he was taking Nan Jiaojiao and the two kids out for hot pot. Just after ordering, Ye Wanting called.

“Jiaojiao, I tried on the altered bridesmaid dress, it fits perfectly, the hemline got longer, my roommates say it’s especially ethereal. They wanted to try it, but I treasured it so much that I didn’t let anyone touch it, I’ve packed it away and will only take it out on your wedding day.”

“Glad you like it, you can wear it casually later, it’s a gift to you.”

Ye Wanting was too scared to accept, though she didn’t know the price, but the craftsmanship and design obviously looked expensive, she was reluctant to take it. Nan Jiaojiao convinced her that it was custom-tailored and not expensive, just consider it a bridesmaid’s gift, then she accepted it.

“I mailed you a box of boxed cakes today, from a new cake shop near University Town, they’re really tasty. I thought you’d definitely like it, rushed the delivery so it should be fresh when you receive it.”

That touched Nan Jiaojiao’s heart, and they sweetly chatted for a while.

The waiter gradually brought the dishes, Bo Yanching placed each one into the yin-yang hot pot, boiled a piece of black fish fillet, and put it in her bowl.
