Nan Jiaojiao had called the police.

Less than five minutes after the call, the first to arrive wasn’t the police, but Lin Shuyun.

At that moment, Nan Jiaojiao was sitting in her car, her field of vision perfectly encompassing the restaurant entrance.

Lin Shuyun got out of her car and barely managed to stand stable, bracing herself hastily against the car before breaking into a rapid run inside.

And just so coincidentally, her face displayed concern and panic, seen crystal clear by Nan Jiaojiao.

“You called the police just to have them notify Lin Shuyun?”

It was to notify Lin Shuyun, not the Ye Family.

And it was even sidestepping Ye Congwen.

So, for tonight’s incident, aside from the orchestrators, Old Madam Ye and Old Master Ye, only Lin Shuyun and her daughter were in the know.

Given Lin Shuyun’s temperament, no matter what she saw upon entering, she would make a scene.

With her kicking up a fuss, Ye Shiqing would actually be safer, the Zhang family would feel at fault, and would no longer quibble over investing in the Ye Family.

Nan Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Bo Yanching, not speaking, biting her lip, her eyes fixated steadily on him.

The angle from which she was seated was against the light, making it hard to see her expression clearly even upon close inspection.

Bo Yanching felt a pang in his heart, “I won’t ask anymore, I’ll take you to eat.”

He leaned over, guiding Nan Jiaojiao’s shoulders back into the seat, fastened her seatbelt for her, and as his hand touched the steering wheel, he said, “Not sure what you want to eat, let’s go to Aunt Zhan’s place, have her make you a fish soup.”

“Hmm.”

Nan Jiaojiao responded with a sound, turned her head to look out the window, and didn’t glance at the restaurant anymore.

After all, she and Ye Shiqing were sisters.

Things couldn’t be taken to the extreme.

If Ye Shiqing really ended up spoiled by someone like Zhang Kun tonight, it would indeed be pitiful.

“Not to be repeated, if she dares to provoke me again, I won’t save her.”

Her voice was muffled, gentle, just a tad louder than a mosquito’s buzz.

Bo Yanching, steering one-handed, reached over to rub her forehead, “Don’t hold back, even if something happens, I’ve got you covered.”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at his palm, sank a little lower, and with her head nudged his hand away from her forehead, “Don’t always encourage me to do bad things.”

Bo Yanching let out a light laugh, “So it’s my fault now?”

“Really going to cover for me?”

“Hmm, cover.”

Even if she poked a hole in the sky, he would cover for her.

Nan Jiaojiao nudged her head back beneath his palm, reached up to pull his hand down a bit, and his broad hand covered half her face.

Using a raspy, disguised voice like a stranger, she said, “I might just have to make a mess for you to deal with, to give Mr.

Bo the face he deserves, can’t waste your earnest guidance.”

Bo Yanching raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He even took his hand away to look closely at her.

“You’ve learned voice acting?”

That voice she had used just now, after changing her tone, didn’t reflect her original voice at all, and was completely different.

Nan Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue, “Just as an amateur, Chu Yao once did voice acting for an animated film, and dragged me into voicing a minor role.”

Bo Yanching pinched her cheek, “Not bad, there are quite a few little secrets I don’t know about you.”

Nan Jiaojiao curled up in her seat, giving an awkward light cough, “Low profile, hiding one’s capabilities.”

The man’s lips curled slightly, and the cold glint reflected in the window glass slid into her eyes, all of it warm.

On the way, Bo Yanching made some arrangements.

By the time they arrived at the private dining, Aunt Zhan had already set the table within the specific private room, with fish soup in an earthen pot, simmering on a small stove.

She waited there, chatted with Bo Yanching for a few moments, and served them two bowls of hot coconut milk.

“Try this, I went to play in Xishuangbanna a few days ago, had this coconut milk shipped from there, it just arrived today.

Yanching called me when I was making it, I added some cashews, longan meat, and sweet jujube to it, try it and see how it tastes.”
