Chapter 651: Keep Out of It

But Ye Wanting is still perfectly fine here, right?

Just for this reason alone, it was worth it for Yaen Chi to give him a kind smile.

However, after hearing his words, Li Jian frowned in disgust.

“You just keep regressing.”

Who in the Li Family dares to be slighted?

And yet, you still underestimate yourself.

What a wastrel, he was just criticizing him from his cousin’s perspective, not asking him to take it seriously.

“Is Bo Yanching in the private room?”

Yaen Chi looked at him critically, “Did Yi Qinghuan say she came back with you?”

Li Jian looked at him, “Yes, what about it?”

“Stay out of Brother Yan’s business.

He has a girlfriend now, the stuff with Yi Qinghuan was ages ago.”

Rarely, Yaen Chi actually dared to use a warning tone.

Li Jian’s face darkened immediately, “Nonsense, I was just asking him how he has led you these past few years.”

In Capital City, everything was fine, but after coming to Rongcheng City, it was almost like a liberation of his true self, but it was too much of a liberation.

Not to mention anything else, just Yaen Chi’s succession of girlfriends one after another – he felt embarrassed just hearing about it.

“I’m not a child, who needs leading?”

Yaen Chi took a cigarette, “How come you never think that I’m just like this?”

Li Jian’s brow furrowed tighter.

How would he know that Yaen Chi had always played nice since he was young because he was cowardly?

After all, when it comes to fighting alone, he was no match for his grandfather and Li Jian, but times have changed.

With a little bit of practice, he might not necessarily lose.

But smoking was another matter.

He never dared to light a cigarette in front of Li Jian.

The lighter was fiddled with in his hands for quite a while, sparking and extinguishing, never daring to light the cigarette.

“Give me a cigarette.” Li Jian suddenly said.

Yaen Chi looked at him in astonishment, “Whoa, what’s this?

Changed your ways?

Weren’t you always avoiding smoking and drinking, and now you’ve picked up this habit?”

Li Jian glared at him, “Asking the obvious!”

Since he had been transferred back to Capital City, equivalent to stepping into the limelight, unavoidable social obligations with necessary relations couldn’t be dodged anymore, he could no longer remain abstinent from smoking and drinking as before.

Hastily, Yaen Chi handed him a cigarette, and only after seeing Li Jian light it skillfully did he take a deep breath and lit one for himself too.

“You should have said so earlier, I was suffocating.”

Li Jian glanced at him, a faint smile lurking in his eyes, though not very pronounced.

…

Bo Yanching drove straight into Mountain Villa, stopping in front of his villa.

Yaen Chi, careless with his wealth, opened Hot Spring Villa purely for fun, not caring about making a profit, leaving a separate villa for each of them.

The one next door was Yaen Chi’s.

The villa had been open for a few months and had invited Bo Yanching before, but he disliked the new decor and didn’t go, waiting for the smell to dissipate before he was willing to bring Nan Jiaojiao along.

Unfortunately, they brought along an extra little lightbulb.

The lights were on in the villa, with a pair of men’s slippers placed at the entrance as if they had been prepared early for him.

Passing through the living room, outside was an open-air hot spring with two pools.

Nan Jiaojiao and Bo Qingshan were squatting about two meters away from the pool, slicing lamb meat to eat.

“Uncle,” Bo Qingshan noticed him, immediately slicing a piece of lamb and offering it to Bo Yanching, “Try this, it’s just been roasted, very delicious.”

Bo Yanching opened his mouth and ate it.

Nan Jiaojiao naturally handed her knife over to him.

He laughed, “Qingshan still knows how to honor me, while you, you just boss me around.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked sheepish, “I was offering it to you because there are only two knives.”

“Stop it, I know you too well.”
