Chapter 563: Don't Be So Tricky

The night of the incident, Bo Yanching turned around halfway and didn’t make it to the Bo Residence.

After rescuing Nan Jiaojiao, he remembered to call the old house.

By then, it was already late at night.

Auntie Wu answered the phone and said Qianqian had already been coaxed to sleep by the Old Lady, crying even in her dreams.

The next morning, the Old Lady called him directly and started scolding him right away, without using a single swear word and without even a hint of anger in her tone.

In just a few sentences, she left Bo Yanching speechless.

Actually, she didn’t give him a chance to speak at all; she hung up right after finishing her scolding.

Now that he was free, Bo Yanching made sure to complete the next day’s work ahead of time.

“Is Qianqian feeling any better now?” Nan Jiaojiao asked, concerned.

“I don’t know, let’s go see, children aren’t easy to appease,” he replied.

Bo Yanching glanced at Nan Jiaojiao, “Just like you.”

She disagreed with that, “How am I hard to appease?

I’m not only easy to appease, but I’m also easy to fool.

Otherwise, how could I be with you?”

“Are you saying you despise me?” he asked with a slight squint.

Nan Jiaojiao, whose neck had just stiffened up, cleverly lowered it, took a sip through her straw, and muttered quietly with popping candy in her mouth, “Not too obviously.”

Bo Yanching couldn’t help but laugh, and pinched her ear.

In the private room, Yaen Chi and others were playing cards.

Lu Zhenzhen was there too, treated like a queen in the center, where no one dared to take her on seriously.

Everyone was feeding her cards, letting her win, and only occasionally allowing her to lose.

Lu Zhenzhen was grinning from ear to ear with each victory.

As soon as Bo Yanching entered, Yaen Chi gave him a look, “Brother Yan, are you playing?”

“I’ll eat something first.”

Bo Yanching took off his coat, casually hanging it on the rack.

Nan Jiaojiao was ahead of him, heading towards the card table.

Bo Yanching followed and glanced over.

There was a pile of chips in front of Lu Zhenzhen, with two property deeds underneath.

His brows twitched; she was really going all out.

She was giving so generously; these rascals would fleece him even more later.

But his girlfriend’s close friend needed to be appeased.

“How about it, Brother Yan, play a round?” Yaen Chi teased him with a sidelong glance, a mischievous smile on his face.

It wasn’t planned; originally, it was just a bunch of grown men playing cards.

Nan Jiaojiao had gone to send off Ye Wanting, and Lu Zhenzhen had nothing to do, so she came over to watch.

Huo Linxi gave up his seat for her with a lift of his buttocks.

Miss Lu sat down, could they really go all out to win?

Bo Yanching smiled and asked Nan Jiaojiao, “Have you had dinner?”

Nan Jiaojiao: “I have.

I even had some late-night snacks just now.

I’m quite full.”

“Then play for a while,” he suggested.

Bo Yanching raised his hand, and Loo Jinyang gave up his place knowingly.

Bo Yanching placed his hand on Nan Jiaojiao’s shoulder, leading her to sit down, bent over, and rested his arm on the back of her chair, “I came straight from a meeting, I’m a bit hungry.

I’ll go grab a bite and come back to play with you.”

“Okay,” she replied.

Bo Yanching looked at Yaen Chi and others, “Take care of her.”

After he left, a bunch of grown men watched his retreating figure, almost grinding their teeth to dust.

What a guy, not playing fair at all.

Two holy figures, not playing favorites would be impossible; they were already losing a lot, and now, they had to lose twice as much.

How much money did Bo Yanching not only cost them but also himself just to make his girlfriend happy?

Bo Yanching sat leisurely at the dining table, served himself a bowl of white rice, and had just started eating when Yaen Chi came over, spun the lazy Susan to bring a bottle of red wine in front of him, poured two glasses, and handed him one.
