Chapter 37: The One in Your Heart Isn't Her

Ye Shiqing took out her phone, snapped a picture of the blueprint, and after standing up, she put the bag back in its original place.

She felt incredibly guilty and didn’t dare to look at Shen Shichu, her hand in her pocket clutching the phone inside.

She didn’t notice Shen Shichu’s deeply intense gaze at all.

After Nan Jiaojiao left, she didn’t come back.

She chose a new seat, ordered her meal, and sent a message to Bo Yanching.

When Kang Xiangyue entered, holding a friend’s hand, she paused upon seeing Nan Jiaojiao, then gestured for her friend to go upstairs first while she, in her high heels and with an air of superiority, sat down opposite Nan Jiaojiao.

“Alone?” Kang Xiangyue supported her chin with one hand, sizing up Nan Jiaojiao with abandon.

Jiaojiao’s whole person, even her face, was very plain.

Kang Xiangyue’s lips curved into a smile, her eyes filled with mockery.

Nan Jiaojiao: “Bo Yanching is also here.”

Kang Xiangyue felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

Bo Yanching was actually willing to take her out for a meal?

“Miss Nan, one must know their place.

The Bo Family’s threshold is not something you can imagine.

Yanqing will never marry a girl like you.”

Nan Jiaojiao laughed softly.

Kang Xiangyue felt stung by her indifferent attitude and said coldly, “I’ve seen plenty of girls like you.

You only want money, after all.

How about I give you some?

Name your price, how much will it take for you to leave him?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s character in the game died, and she twisted her eyebrows in irritation.

After respawning, she went straight for a team wipe.

While her teammates were pushing for the high ground, she looked up, her cold eyes calm.

Her eyebrows and eyes slightly curved into a disingenuous smile, “I wonder, how much is Bo Yanching worth?”

Kang Xiangyue choked for a moment and suddenly looked over Nan Jiaojiao’s shoulder, her expression brightening, “Yanqing, did you hear all that?”

Nan Jiaojiao turned her head, her eyes meeting Bo Yanching’s directly.

She blinked and involuntarily pursed her lips.

Bo Yanching had come down from upstairs, his leather shoes making a steady sound as he descended the last few stairs.

He loosened the first two buttons of his suit jacket and casually stroked Nan Jiaojiao’s head as he passed.

“Haven’t you eaten yet?”

Kang Xiangyue’s smug smile faded, and she could hardly believe she was being ignored, “Yanqing, she’s only with you for the money…”

“Escaped a few unpleasant people, changed seats, and haven’t eaten yet.” Nan Jiaojiao replied.

Bo Yanching raised his eyebrows at her, signaling her to move in a bit, “I haven’t eaten either.

Did you order for me as well?”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded: “Yes.”

He responded with a sound, and as they conversed back and forth, Kang Xiangyue’s expression grew uglier by the second, until she couldn’t help but call out lowly, “Yanqing!”

Bo Yanching looked up, his handsome face slightly raised, his eyes and brows relaxed, “Don’t scare her, she’s just a kid who hasn’t seen the world.”

“I’m scaring her?”

Kang Xiangyue laughed out loud, flipping her hair forcefully, “You’re just toying with her.”

Bo Yanching’s face slowly grew indignant, “Who said I’m just toying?”

“Then are you going to marry her?”

Bo Yanching didn’t answer, and as Kang Xiangyue waited and could no longer stand it, she scorned, “You won’t marry her, she isn’t the one in your heart.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s heart skipped a beat.

Turning her head to look at the man’s sharply contoured face, his thin lips lightly pursed in indifference, barely curling into a vague smile of pride and laziness, looking so careless.

Such a man, he also holds someone dear in his heart?

After Kang Xiangyue left, no one mentioned her again.

Nan Jiaojiao ate very quietly and elegantly, her every move not resembling a country bumpkin.

After finishing her meal, she dabbed her mouth with a napkin, then obediently waited to the side for him to finish before leaving together.
