Chapter 443: I Want to Become Someone Who Can Stand by His Side

Bo Yanching looked at her helplessly, fully aware of the little schemes in her heart.

“Wait for me in the study.”

There was no sound outside the door, and he thought Bo Qingshan had walked away.

However, after a moment, a timid voice tested the waters, “Uncle Three, are you there?

Is my Sister Jiaojiao inside with you?”

Bo Yanching’s voice was deep, “Bo Qingshan.”

“To the study!

I’ll be right there!”

Being addressed by both name and surname by an elder truly had an extraordinary effect, but before leaving, Bo Qingshan couldn’t resist adding cheekily, “Hurry up, okay?”

Bo Yanching couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Nan Jiaojiao peeked towards the door, the shadow underneath it had disappeared, and she covered her mouth to giggle.

“Are you relieved that you’ve dodged it again?” His deep voice fell from above her head.

Nan Jiaojiao instantly tensed up, “No, that’s not it.”

Bo Yanching pecked at the corner of her lips, his voice low and husky, “I’ll deal with you when we get home.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s face flushed, and she moved behind him to drape his coat over his shoulders.

“Go downstairs and play with Qianqian for a bit.

I bought new blocks.

Wait for me to come down.”

“Okay.”

Bo Yanching walked towards the door, and as he reached it, he straightened his sleeves.

His hand was just about to touch the doorknob when he turned back to look at her, “Last time we didn’t get the chance, I’ll discuss the engagement with grandma in a bit.”

Nan Jiaojiao caught up to him, pondered for a moment, “Let’s not talk about it for now.”

Bo Yanching turned around, “Don’t you want me to marry you anymore?”

“No, it’s not that.

Wait until I graduate, until I’m a bit more accomplished.

Moreover, there’s still plenty of time.

I think we should let things take their natural course.

When the time comes, the marriage will happen naturally.

When the New Year comes, I’ll take you to meet my grandfather, and we should also hear his opinion, right?”

Tingting, her words chased one after another.

She completely blocked his counterarguments.

It wasn’t strange that Nan Jiaojiao had reservations.

From the beginning to the end, Bo Yanching had only spoken of seeking Old Lady Bo’s opinion; there wasn’t even a plan to notify the Old Master Bo from the Capital City.

As for the temperament of that particular person, Nan Jiaojiao had no personal experience, so she withheld judgment.

However, the Bo Family’s reputation was notable and wasn’t built single-handedly by Bo Yanching.

The generations before him contributed greatly, especially the current family head, Old Master Bo.

Though his views rarely went public, every marriage within the Bo Family offspring involved interests.

She was just a student with an unclear background.

Ignoring the Ye Family was one thing, but even though the Ye family members were justifiable in their status, she was only close to her nurturing family.

This fact alone was sure to attract gossip.

Bo Yanching was not the impulsive type.

If he was willing to marry her, he had prepared himself to sweep away any obstacle.

This path was going to be difficult, as anyone could see.

Fittingly, Nan Jiaojiao was not one to act rashly, nor did she want to get married hastily.

“Mr.

Bo, there’s a phrase ‘Things will develop in a natural way.’ You know it, right?”

Nan Jiaojiao sneakily slipped her hand into his palm, and his slightly curled hand immediately gripped hers tightly.

He looked at her with a serious expression, then suddenly smiled, “You’re not very big, but you sure have a lot of thoughts.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned her head away, not admitting to it.

Bo Yanching pinched her cheek, “Don’t worry, with me here, no one dares to trouble you.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned back to face him, “I want to become a woman who can stand by your side and fight alongside you, not a drag that clings to you.”

Bo Yanching laughed, “I would like that, and who would dare to object.”

Nan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and remained silent.

They left the conversation there, understanding each other without the need for words.

Bo Yanching led her by the hand and went out.

The door was pulled open from the inside, and as soon as it opened, the figure leaning against it stumbled in.
