Chapter 276: Fainting into His Arms

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t look at him.

She took the phone and her fingers swiped across the screen several times, leaving a trail each time before she finally unlocked it.

Pei Dongshi’s voice came through the speakerphone, “Where did you go?”

Nan Jiaojiao bit her lip, not saying a word.

“Not even a word when you leave the house—I had the kitchen stew your favorite duck soup, with matsutake mushrooms.

Hurry back, I won’t save any for you if it’s late.

Also, didn’t you crave durian honey yesterday?

I made a trip to the company and bought some for you on my way back.

I really don’t see what’s so good about that stuff; it stinks to high heaven.”

Bo Yanching stood outside the car door, hearing Pei Dongshi’s words loud and clear.

His dark eyes narrowed slightly.

A flicker of dangerous jealousy flashed by.

Nan Jiaojiao was still silent, her teeth clenched tight.

Pei Dongshi finally sensed something was wrong and called her name, “What’s the matter?”

“Senior brother.”

“Yes, I’m listening.

Where are you?

I’ll come get you.”

“I,” Nan Jiaojiao looked outside for a moment, saw nothing clearly, then lowered her head again, “I don’t know, senior brother, I—I’m a bit scared.”

Pei Dongshi immediately reassured her, “Don’t be afraid.

Send me your location from your phone; I’ll be right there.”

“Okay.”

Nan Jiaojiao switched out of the call screen to send her location, but accidentally hung up.

Suddenly panicked, her hands trembled as she held the phone, attempting to call back, but her shaking fingers couldn’t press the buttons.

A soft sob escaped from her lips, helpless like a child.

Bo Yanching’s heart ached.

He reached in, unlocked the door, and pulled it open to lift her out of the car.

Nan Jiaojiao did not resist or seem to care what he was doing, mechanically gripping her phone, trying to call Pei Dongshi.

Bo Yanching took her hand, found Pei Dongshi’s number, and dialed it.

Once she heard Pei Dongshi’s voice, her emotions finally eased a bit.

“At the entrance of Hospital Number One, she’s with me.”

“Bo Yanching?”

The sound of the wind at Pei Dongshi’s end stopped, as if he was hurrying to walk, then suddenly paused, “What happened to her?”

“There was a bit of trouble, but she’s not hurt.”

Pei Dongshi: “Watch over her, I’ll be right there.”

“No need, I’ll take her back to the Bo Family.”

“Then I’ll come to the Bo Family to get her!”

Pei Dongshi’s voice suddenly rose, “Bo Yanching, don’t stand in my way.

Jiaojiao has had psychological trauma, and you can’t handle her right now.”

Bo Yanching indeed had something to say, but upon hearing this, he changed his mind, “Okay.”

“Jiaojiao,” Pei Dongshi called again, “Obey Bo Yanching for now, and wait for me to pick you up.

Don’t make a fuss, all right?”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded her head, nodding forcefully.

Her small head brushed against Bo Yanching’s chest, causing static in the hair at her temples.

Only then did she realize she was on the phone and said, “All right.”

After hanging up, Bo Yanching hugged her a little tighter, “Shall we go to my place?”

Nan Jiaojiao looked up at him.

The daylight overhead fell into her eyes, not stinging, but it made her feel dizzy.

Her eyelids fluttered twice, then closed.

She fainted in his arms.

Bo Yanching picked her up and walked towards the car.

“Keep a close eye on Kang Xiangyue.

No one from the Kang Family gets away.

Also, dismiss the servants at home; no one is allowed near.”

“Yes,” Han Chuan replied.

Bo Yanching sat in the back seat, holding Nan Jiaojiao on his lap, wrapping his long arms around her, drawing her little by little into his embrace.

Back when they were on good terms, she liked to bite him during the act.

He would scold her playfully, calling her a little wolf pup.

At that time, her expression would suddenly turn cold, and even at the most pleasurable moment, she could abruptly pull away.

And she would kick him off the bed.
