Chapter 544: Aren't You Curious About Who I Am

Bo Yanching turned to look at her, “What’s wrong?”

Nan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, “Aren’t you going to ask?”

“Hmm?”

“I will attract assassins, aren’t you curious about who I really am?”

Bo Yanching stared at her unblinkingly, a momentary look of confusion flashed across his eyes, followed slowly by a rise of joy.

He led Nan Jiaojiao out of the elevator.

“If I asked, would you tell me?”

Nan Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment, “I can’t talk about it now, I signed a non-disclosure agreement when I left that place.”

“Then don’t speak of it.”

Bo Yanching, with his arm around her, walked out of the lobby.

Without the warmth of the heating, a gust of cold wind hit them face-on.

Instinctively, he turned his body to block the wind, pulling Nan Jiaojiao into his embrace for protection.

Nan Jiaojiao leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, always steady, without a hint of chaos.

Her fingers involuntarily clutched at his clothes.

“Bo Yanching.”

She called out softly.

The man looked down, his Adam’s apple sliding up and down, “Hmm?”

“The things I did before—”

Her voice had a slight tremor, and her fingers clutched his clothes even tighter.

She didn’t cry, but she feared that after he knew her identity, he would think differently.

“Did you approach me with ulterior motives?” Bo Yanching suddenly asked.

Nan Jiaojiao looked up, “Sort of.”

She had told him the reason before, because Bo Yanching was good-looking, and because he was Shen Shichu’s cousin once removed.

At that time, she had approached him with a vengeful mindset.

Bo Yanching naturally knew what she was referring to and then asked, “Would it harm me?”

This time, Nan Jiaojiao shook her head firmly.

He chuckled lightly, “Then that’s settled.”

Nan Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, surrounded by the sound of his voice and the empty wind beside her ears, causing her heart to panic.

She suddenly looked up at him, and the man was also looking down, but in his deep eyes, her reflection was cast, the light in his eyes exceptionally tender.

She didn’t know what to say and managed to force out through clenched teeth, “Idiot!”

Bo Yanching was still smiling, holding her hand, putting it into the pocket of his coat.

“If you had said these words earlier, I might have hesitated, wondering whether to continue with you or not.

Too bad, you’re asking now; it’s already too late.”

Bo Yanching pinched the center of her hand, “It’s me who can’t leave you.

Haven’t you noticed?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyelashes trembled lightly, her chest felt as if gripped by a hand, squeezing now gently, now firmly.

Her heart seemed to float, unable to settle down for a long time.

“I’m not an assassin, nor a mercenary.

The things Yaen Chi did, I’ve done some of them in the past.

I will find out who the assassin is tonight, maybe—”

They were her old enemies.

Suddenly, Bo Yanching gently tugged her.

Nan Jiaojiao was actually being sincere, but his interruption made her bewildered eyes shift to his face.

She blinked, puzzled and uncomprehending.

Bo Yanching said, “What a coincidence, I used to be a mercenary too.”

Nan Jiaojiao stared at him, her eyes wide in astonishment, trying to find a trace of jest on his face, but although he was indeed smiling, it didn’t seem like he was just teasing her.

“I’ve told you before, I wasn’t well when I was younger.

I found a place to train my body, only later did I realize it was a mercenary organization.

And then later…”

Nan Jiaojiao stood on tiptoe, one hand covering his mouth.

“Since you’ve retired, let’s not talk about it,” she said.

She knew all too well about those organizations; only one in ten thousand could retire, and upon leaving, they would have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Otherwise, once they couldn’t keep their mouth shut, they would quickly attract the deadly pursuit from their former organization.

However, Bo Yanching just didn’t care.

He took Nan Jiaojiao’s hand away, “Don’t worry, it was legitimate.”

Nan Jiaojiao glared at him.

“So, perhaps it’s the assassins I provoked that have implicated you.

If an investigation is needed, let them investigate me; it would be more convenient than you.”
