Chapter 380: You're at My Doorstep and Still Don't Come to See Me

The words “go home”, coming from her mouth, sounded soft and mushy.

Although Bo Yanching still felt displeased, he was also soothed to the point that the collapsed part of his heart was filled completely.

He hugged her annoyedly and gritted his teeth, “I will die because of your mouth one day!”

Nan Jiaojiao giggled, reaching her hands up just to touch his shoulder, then Bo Yanching lifted and carried her straight to the bathroom.

“Bath, bedtime!”

Outside the Mountain Villa, the plane they had arrived in was parked on the lawn.

Bo Yanching, holding Nan Jiaojiao’s hand, protected her as they boarded.

Under the distant shade of the trees, a black sedan was parked.

After the plane took off, Nan Jue got out of the car and opened the back door.

A pearwood cane emerged first, followed by the wrinkled, old hand of an elderly man resting on the dragon-headed cane.

Nan Jue assisted, helping Old Master Nan out of the car.

The old man was dressed in traditional attire, his hair silver as he looked up at the sky, and suddenly sneered, “Ungrateful child, doesn’t even come to see me when she’s right at the doorstep.”

“You are wronging her there, she feared mixing personal and official issues, solving problems on your behalf.”

Old Master Nan glared at Nan Jue, “Who bore you?”

Nan Jue raised an eyebrow, “Who bore me does not stop me from being her uncle, what’s wrong in indulging her?

Besides, that’s a strange question for you to ask.”

Old Master Nan was so angry that his hair seemed to quiver, “She knows to secretly meet you but can’t sneak to see me?”

Nan Jue unflinchingly replied, “I don’t know, you should ask her.”

Old Master Nan lifted his cane to strike, but it fell into the palm of Nan Jue’s hand instead; he steadied it and neatly placed the cane back, sighing, “She’ll be back for the New Year, what’s the rush?

Then she can bring Bo Yanching as her boyfriend, and if you want to show displeasure, show it to Bo Yanching.”

Why would you lash out at him?

Luckily, Old Master Nan could be coaxed easily; just mention Nan Jiaojiao and even the biggest anger would dissolve, let alone just a few complaints.

“Stop digging pits for me, if she really does bring him, could I even drive him away?”

The plane was out of sight, Old Master Nan shifted his gaze and began walking towards the Mountain Villa, “Walk with me, let’s look at the paintings she did as a child.”

Nan Jue hurried a few steps, came up to support him, though he said nothing, his half-hidden eyes carried a trace of guilt.

He had left home young, and although he had adopted Nan Jiaojiao, he had taken her away too; when Old Master Nan found out where she had been taken, he nearly killed him.

This time home, the vast estate was chillingly silent.

An owner and a servant, two old people, a cat and a dog, flowers and plants everywhere, though everywhere was lively, it was also desolate and bleak everywhere.

“This time you’re back, don’t you plan to visit your mother in Rongcheng City?” Old Master Nan suddenly asked.

The question made Nan Jue’s brow twitch, “No, I dare not go.

She despises you, and by extension, me too.

I’m afraid I’d hardly get through the door before being thrown out.”

Old Master Nan’s just-smoothed temper was blocked again, his face stern as he hit Nan Jue with his cane, “Get out, get out, get out, why did you even come back?

Always upsetting me, if your mouth is useless donate it!”

Nan Jue just laughed, unfazed by the hit, his thick-skinned attitude continued to support the old man, waiting till his anger nearly spent itself before speaking, “I only have three or four days of leave, I came to spend some time with you.”

Old Master Nan looked away, his eyes moistening, he opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent.

As they circled in the Mountain Villa, Old Master Nan asked, “Did Han Qi take Yan Chenyi away?”
