Chapter 353: I am Determined to Win

She couldn’t help but look up, only to lock eyes with the man, his deep set eyes lightly tinted with a hint of desire amidst the boundless black.

The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, his voice unnaturally thin, “Do you want to hang onto me like a belt again?”

“Isn’t it good?

This way I can protect you all the time.”

“I don’t need your protection.”

Bo Yanching scooped up Nan Jiaojiao and pressed her into his embrace, his chin resting in the crook of her shoulder as he buried himself deeply.

“Han Chuan, drive faster.”

The Han Chuan in front bristled, nearly slamming on the gas pedal and rocketing off had he not restrained himself.

If he really had sped up suddenly, Master Bo might have truly taken his life.

Who would have thought?

A man who had been so stoic for nearly thirty years, once unleashed, was so…

sneakily provocative.

As a result, dinner didn’t happen that evening; Nan Jiaojiao was carried into the bathroom, too exhausted and drained to even know which word or expression had set him off.

Half asleep, Bo Yanching seemed to have called her once to eat.

She squinted her eyes and exchanged a look with the wide eyes of Peppa Pig on her apron; thinking she was sleepwalking, she closed her eyes and rolled over to sleep.

It wasn’t until the next day that she saw the food on the thermostat lunch table, which Bo Yanching had made himself the night before.

He didn’t let her eat, coming out of the gym to shower first, then discarding the food to make it afresh.

Nan Jiaojiao took one bite and realized that her cooking skills were crappy.

Afterward, she pestered Bo Yanching to cook several more times until the day before a business trip, when Nan Jiaojiao sat in the gap between the sofa and the coffee table playing games, and Bo Yanching worked nearby, typing softly.

“Sweetie.”

“Hmm?”

Bo Yanching looked at her crouching down there, “Aren’t you going to pack your luggage?”

“There’s not much to pack.

I’ll just bring some personal stuff, and I can buy clothes there.”

Bo Yanching raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seemed last time she and Pei Dongshi went on a business trip, she hadn’t brought any luggage, but when they returned, Pei Dongshi had an extra suitcase.

With a little thought, he understood; only someone utterly lazy would do such a thing.

He didn’t disturb her gaming, just pulled out a suitcase, packed a few things for her, and even though the suitcase was light enough to admit new purchases, it was all set.

Green City was not far from Rongcheng City, just a two-hour flight.

Nan Jiaojiao had intended to send her grandfather a message on the plane, once Bo Yanching was free, to bring him to meet the grandfather.

They had originally planned to return over the New Year, but she feared such an early surprise might alarm the old man.

But as soon as they boarded the plane, Bo Yanching turned off her phone.

The plane flew over Green City, deviating more and more from its course until it landed in a private parking lot.

Nan Jiaojiao faintly sensed something was amiss.

She was led down by Bo Yanching, the surrounding scenery and the mansion she could see in the distance were exactly the playground of her and her young uncle from her childhood!

“Wow!”

A carefree laugh echoed, Han Qi with his hands in his coat pockets, his hair whipped across his face by the wind; his eyes slightly squinted, his smiling face became even more flamboyant.

“I thought who the competitor might be this time, what a coincidence, my dear third uncle.”

Han Qi sauntered over, reaching out his hand willingly.

Bo Yanching shook it briefly and let go, spare of any unnecessary movements, his lips faintly curled, “Don’t climb the family tree, compete fair and square.”

Han Qi glanced at Nan Jiaojiao, and with a teasing smile, said, “Fair and square, right.

I must succeed in this partnership with the Nan family this time.”
