Chapter 520: Too Young Reluctant to Take Out

Nan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and turned to Bo Yanching, “You can have my share, I’ll eat shrimp.”

Right as Bo Yanching was about to speak, Lu Zhenzhen, dressed in a floor-length gown with a white fox fur cape draped over her shoulders and teetering on high heels, exuding a tycoon-like elegance, headed straight their way.

She ignored the toast offered to her en route without a glance.

Bo Yanching sighed and ruffled Nan Jiaojiao’s hair, “I’ll go find Yaen Chi and the others.

You guys eat first.”

Nan Jiaojiao held onto his hand, unwilling to let go.

The man’s fingers delved into her palm and squeezed lightly, “I’m going for a smoke.”

“Okay, then.”

Nan Jiaojiao reluctantly released his hand, “Don’t go too far.”

Bo Yanching raised an eyebrow, “Hm?”

“…” She strained a serious face and squeezed out a few words, “I’m not familiar with them.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yao and Qu Xiaoxiao, who had been diligently focused on eating, both looked toward her.

Lu Zhenzhen had just put down her glass of red wine and was about to reach for the plate of peeled shrimp when she paused.

She took off her cape and carried the entire plate of shrimp over.

Bo Yanching let out a light laugh and sighed, “Not far.

I’ll be within sight.

Call me when you’re ready to go.”

“Sure.”

Bo Yanching grasped her hand gently, then slowly laid it back on the table.

The shrimp was gone, and Qu Xiaoxiao had grabbed the last serving of spaghetti.

He picked a few pieces of sushi and placed them in front of Nan Jiaojiao.

Just as a waiter passed by, Bo Yanching picked a glass of red wine from the tray and walked over to where Yaen Chi stood, surrounded by a group of middle-aged men in tailored suits having a lively conversation.

Bo Yanching lit a cigarette, took a drag, lifted the hand holding the wine slightly, and stretched the corner of his lips into a casual smile, “What are you discussing?”

Yaen Chi glanced at him, then at the group of women in the restaurant, and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

“Brother Yan, looks like you have those days too.”

Bo Yanching gave him a bland look, “Jiaojiao told me not to go too far.

She has to keep an eye on me.”

Yaen Chi: “…”

What’s the point of provoking this reserved man for no good reason!

To open one’s mouth only to be fed a mouthful of dog food – how wicked!

“Third Master Bo, which one is your girlfriend?

I haven’t heard about her before,” someone asked.

Bo Yanching turned slightly, neatly blocking the view towards the restaurant, “She’s young, I’m reluctant to bring her out.”

Everyone present was sharp-witted.

Seeing his move along with the possessive words he spoke, there was nothing left unclear.

They dared not steer the conversation towards his girlfriend any longer.

Over here, Nan Jiaojiao let out a sigh, “Can I leave first?”

Lu Zhenzhen chuckled, “Wishful thinking.

You betray friendships at the sight of a man, and now you start to disdain us?”

Nan Jiaojiao blinked innocently, “Who’s disdaining?”

Lu Zhenzhen tapped her forehead, “Keep faking it, and lightning will strike you dead.”

Nan Jiaojiao leaned back into the sofa, nestled comfortably.

She had only been there for a few seconds before sneaking off to the buffet to grab a cup of milk tea and a box of crescent ice.

As she dropped ice cubes in, she glanced cautiously over at where Bo Yanching was.

He was talking to Yaen Chi, apparently not noticing her.

She added a few more ice cubes.

Before she could get anymore, Chu Yao took them away, “That’s about enough.”

Nan Jiaojiao slumped back into the sofa, disheartened.

They had mostly eaten before arriving, and now, as she watched them eat, she picked up some pastries and leisurely ate them with her milk tea.

As the evening drew on, it seemed no one had left the banquet, and still more guests kept arriving.

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at the time and asked Chu Yao, “Didn’t your agent say you have a commercial shoot tomorrow?

It’s ten o’clock, aren’t they coming to pick you up?”
