Chapter 2067: Mint Candy

Pei Dongshi glanced at her.

Well, at least she knows he’s suffering.

Bo Yanching was helpless; his silly wife covered his ears. It was akin to hiding something in plain sight, yet she still insisted on speaking to him like this. Should he pretend to be deaf or just act like he couldn’t hear?

But not responding would only drag things out.

He tilted his head slightly, pulling away from her hand, holding her hand firmly in his palm, pressing gently with his fingertip, “I’ll believe whatever you say.”

Nan Jiaojiao was satisfied, pushed his hand, and confidently sat a little closer to him, then cheekily gave Pei Dongshi a provoking glance.

Pei Dongshi was too lazy to look at her and coincidentally mentioned, that he had been keeping an eye on some recent developments in Rongcheng City. In a casual conversation, he brought it up with Bo Yanching, who was quite open about discussing it with him.

The dishes started arriving one by one, and the two men tacitly stopped chatting.

Men eat fast, indifferent to what’s served, as long as it fills the stomach. Nan Jiaojiao, on the other hand, was picky; she wouldn’t simply shovel up food. She would pick the toppings, mixing a mouthful of food with a mouthful of rice, and even take a bowl of soup, using a spoon to sip it slowly.

She didn’t gobble it down nor deliberately drag things out—her eating manner was quite graceful, even down to eating the last grain of rice in the bowl clean.

Bo Yanching grabbed a tissue, folded it a couple of times, and wiped her mouth, “Full?”

“Mm!”

“They have shaved ice here. Want some?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up, “Yes!”

Bo Yanching, deliberately, teased her craving and pressed the corner of her mouth with the tissue, “Wishful thinking, wanting to have something cold right after a meal. Is this how you indulge when I’m not around?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, “If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t mention it! I’m saying I want it, but then you won’t let me have it. You’re being too obvious!”

“Do you think I wouldn’t notice the ice cream stored in the fridge? Didn’t I say no at home?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyebrows eased instantly; she was running out of confidence and didn’t dare get angry. How did he know about the ones she secretly stashed?

Pei Dongshi watched from the side. It turned out someone could actually control her thoroughly; seeing her finally get her comeuppance, he was quite gratified.

“I’m heading back to the company, where are you two off to?” Bo Yanching glanced up, asking Pei Dongshi.

“I’m taking her to see some samples, and then I’m inspecting the factory. We have a flight to country F at three in the afternoon.”

Bo Yanching mentally noted the schedule, “I’ll be free around that time, later I’ll go to see you off at the airport.”

Pei Dongshi initially wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but since the airport was some distance from E.Y, it would save him the detour to send her back, “That works, if you have the time, come. You can take her with you too.”

Bo Yanching agreed, noticing Nan Jiaojiao about to stand, he subtly adjusted her chair back to make it easier for her to rise, and stood himself, naturally picking up Nan Jiaojiao’s bag.

Nan Jiaojiao ran to the cash register and picked up three mint candies, handing one to each of them.

Bo Yanching and Pei Dongshi simultaneously opened them and simultaneously offered them to her mouth.

Nan Jiaojiao was momentarily indecisive about whose candy to eat. Pei Dongshi was quicker to react, taking back his candy and eating it himself.

Nan Jiaojiao smiled, lowered her head and took the candy Bo Yanching offered, while the one in her hand was taken by him, as he opened it and fed himself.

“When is Brother Chi coming back?”

Bo Yanching held her hand, “Why are you asking about him?”

“I want him to help me with something,” Nan Jiaojiao glanced at Pei Dongshi, whispering confidentially with her hand at her mouth, “Senior admitted to me, he likes men.”
