Chapter 442: Trapped in the Door

Bo Yanching stood behind her, and just as Nan Jiaojiao turned around, she plunged into his arms.

As she tried to step back, Bo Yanching supported her waist, helping her to steady herself.

“How did you come up here?”

The hand Bo Yanching had placed at the side of her waist tightened slightly, pulling her into his embrace, his broad shoulders shadowing most of the warm light in the cloakroom.

The man’s deep and mellow voice, akin to the obscurity that shrouded Nan Jiaoiao’s vision.

“Is there nothing you need to explain to me?”

Nan Jiaojiao tilted her head slightly, looking at the man’s short and neat hair.

She immediately thought of the incident today when she was besieged by reporters.

With a hint of wishful thinking, “I haven’t seen you yet, would have told you when I got home.”

Bo Yanching stood up, his dark eyes fixed on her, “Are you sure you wouldn’t have confessed if I hadn’t asked?”

Nan Jiaojiao shrank her neck slightly, saying sheepishly, “Qu Xiaoxiao had something to ask me, and just happened to be there.

She helped me suppress the news, and all the reporters present were hushed up.”

As for the previous hot search that claimed she was impersonating Xiao Nanshan, it did not name names.

“Is this your explanation?” Bo Yanching’s voice grew colder by a notch.

Nan Jiaojiao scratched her hair, “It’s just a trivial matter, it was resolved on the spot, I thought…

there was no need to tell you.”

Bo Yanching’s brows twitched irritably, “Have you forgotten what I said?”

“Huh?” Nan Jiaojiao was momentarily confused, and seeing the man’s increasingly displeased face, her mind seemed to have a moment of clarity.

She blurted out, “I remember, you told me not to hide anything from you, to gradually get used to having you around.”

“So you still haven’t gotten used to it?”

“Ah, no…”

Nan Jiaojiao was almost at a loss for words.

She simply played spoiled and embraced him, trying to kiss him.

Bo Yanching lifted his head to dodge, her lips missed his and finally landed on his Adam’s apple.

Despite the anger lurking in his heart, worrying all the way here and unable to reach her on the phone, he came back to find her cheerfully eating.

He had trapped her in the room to ask her, and she was surprisingly obedient.

Her unusual compliance, in fact, left him unable to stay angry.

Bo Yanching took a deep breath inwardly, his long fingers pinching her chin, he leaned down and bit her lip resentfully, “Every time it’s like this, you just sweet-talk me and try to get by.”

Nan Jiaojiao smiled with narrowed eyes, smartly choosing not to speak at that moment.

“Uncle,”

Bo Qingshan knocked on the door from outside.

Nan Jiaojiao was so startled that she burrowed into Bo Yanching’s embrace.

“Uncle, are you in there?” Bo Qingshan asked with a hint of personal grudge, too obviously intentional.

Bo Yanching, however, lifted Nan Jiaojiao’s face and continued the kiss that had been interrupted.

Nan Jiaojiao eyed the dark shadow under the door crack.

Though Bo Qingshan didn’t have the guts to open the door, what if he did?

The door wasn’t locked, and the thought of being cornered by a kid, she didn’t have the courage to continue being affectionate with Bo Yanching.

“What if he needs something from you?”

Nan Jiaojiao nudged lightly.

Without much force, just enough to push Bo Yanching back a bit.

He looked at her with a somewhat plaintive expression.

“Speak up if it’s something important,” he said to the person outside the door.

“Today, Teacher Yang gave me a few test papers, I almost scored full marks.

Can you help me review them?

There are two major questions I can’t solve.”

Bo Yanching frowned impatiently.

Nan Jiaojiao worried he might scold the boy away.

With Bo Qingshan’s sharp tongue, he could go downstairs and spread exaggerated tales, leaving her utterly embarrassed.

The immediate priority was to appease Bo Yanching, “I was wrong.

I deeply recognize my error.

From now on, I’ll tell you even about the littlest things.

I will never hide anything from you again just because I’m afraid of worrying you.”
