Chapter 527: He Spoiled Her

Adorned in the utmost luxury, her clothes didn’t dazzle with jewels, but she exuded an innate elegance cultivated from a pampered upbringing.

Bo Yanching only lifted his eyelids when people spoke, “Haven’t met before?”

“I am a friend of Loo Jinyang, He Xue.”

Bo Yanching took out his phone.

Before arriving, Loo Jinyang had sent him a few messages saying he wanted to introduce a friend to them today.

He politely said, “Hello.”

“Brother Yan, hello,” He Xue glanced at the two girls sitting beside her, and as her gaze reached them, the two girls also stood up, “These are my two friends, we just got off work and came over for a meal.”

Bo Yanching replied, “Have a seat, make yourself at home.”

He Xue then sat down with her friends and took a look at Nan Jiaojiao; their eyes met by chance, and she hesitated for a moment before smiling awkwardly.

Bo Yanching moved a few dishes around, placing Nan Jiaojiao’s favorites within easy reach for her.

He didn’t move much, as there were guests present, then picked up some of her favorites with his chopsticks.

Noticing there weren’t any shrimps, he ordered some.

“Start eating; I’ll go over there to talk for a while and come back later to peel shrimps for you.”

“Okay.”

Nan Jiaojiao shifted slightly, leaning back in her chair to make it easier for Bo Yanching to remove her scarf.

He didn’t go to hang it by the door but draped it on his arm and walked into the living room.

Mo Tingshen was playing cards.

Upon seeing Bo Yanching approach, he flipped his cards facedown, slipping them at the bottom of the deck, and took away the cards from Huo Linxi’s hand, shuffling them together.

“How do you want to play, compare points or play landlord?”

This question was directed at Bo Yanching.

Treated as invisible, Huo Linxi was dumbfounded, “No, am I not important or something?

Mo the Fox, you’re really hurtful.

I just had a great hand, can’t take a loss, can you?”

Mo Tingshen smiled lazily, the cards gliding through his fingers like rushing water, deftly controlled.

“Big brother can’t take a loss?

Little brother, you’ve seen too little of the world.”

Huo Linxi was momentarily speechless.

He’d never encountered anyone so shameless.

And yet, he found himself unable to retort, for Mo Tingshen’s wealth was substantial.

Aside from being stingy and caustic, one simply couldn’t speak lightly of another’s riches.

Upset, Huo Linxi complained, “Brother Yan, you need to deal with him.

I’ve been finding him very disagreeable tonight.”

Bo Yanching folded Nan Jiaojiao’s scarf and laid it beside him, lit a cigarette, and looked at Mo Tingshen leisurely, “Got under your skin?”

Mo Tingshen raised an eyebrow, “You noticed?”

“Yeah,” Bo Yanching searched briefly, bringing the ashtray from the coffee table closer to him, “Quite obvious.

Did you watch the Golden Deer Award?”

“I glanced at it a bit.”

Mo Tingshen had only watched Chu Yao’s traditional dance.

His expression softened slightly, “The young girl’s involved in too much fighting, has a bad temper.”

“Who spoils her?” Bo Yanching’s retort quieted Mo Tingshen.

Indeed, he was the one who spoiled her, for over a decade now, and would need to continue to tread carefully around her.

How could he be so subservient!

He took out his phone, intending to call Yaen Chi to ask if he’d seen Chu Yao home safely but decided against it.

If Chu Yao happened to be nearby when the call came through, she would again accuse him of monitoring her.

“That cigarette of yours—”

Mo Tingshen tossed his phone onto the sofa.

It hit a cushion placed at an angle, which then fell and conveniently covered his phone.

He asked Bo Yanching, “Let me have a drag of that.”

Bo Yanching dodged with a flick of his hand, “I’ve smoked from it.”
