Chapter 753: Stop Harassing Me

“I don’t have that much patience for you, and I can’t always be left hanging for a couple of days, waiting for you to take care of someone else before you come back to brush me off with a few words.

Stop clinging to me and making things awkward for both of us!”

The door was half open, and the window at the end of the corridor must have been closed, otherwise, why wouldn’t any breeze come through?

It felt so stuffy, like a sponge was jammed inside her heart.

She couldn’t hear anything except Bo Yanching’s voice echoing over and over by her ear.

“Let go!”

Nan Jiaojiao’s heart trembled, and she let go of her hand.

Bo Yanching turned around and walked away.

When the ding of the elevator sounded, she felt as if she was waking from a dream.

She panicked and chased after him for a few steps, but then she just stopped at the doorframe, motionless, with no sounds or footsteps to be heard.

The lights in the hallway dimmed, clashing with the darkness behind her, unable to dispel a whole wall of brightness.

Nan Jiaojiao clutched her chest, where there was a heart-wrenching pain as if a tiny figure was hammering away at her heart constantly.

The side mirror reflected her pale face, her lips tightly pursed, looking like she was struggling to breathe, about to faint at any moment.

The sound of boiling water in the kettle was chaotic, the lid clattering open and shut in disarray.

For the first time, Nan Jiaojiao hated how bad she was at lying, or maybe how bad she was at explaining.

Words tumbled around in her mouth, and what she said made things even worse.

Was it really over this time?

Bo Yanching hadn’t left immediately.

He was extremely angry, had been drinking, and had barely slept over two days, completely exhausted.

He rushed away, and when he got into the car, the scent of perfume rushed into his breath, making him feel dizzy for no reason.

His chest felt like it had a hole in it, cold air drilling inside along with the ice chips sticking to his chest, causing unbearable pain.

Bo Yanching opened the car window.

The light inside the garage was dim and didn’t reach his side, with most of the light blocked by the car roof.

His face was buried in a cold hue, looking extremely awful.

He smoked two cigarettes in a row, not finishing the second one, stubbing it out into the ashtray when it was half-smoked, breaking the cigarette in half.

He stepped on the gas, and the car shot out like an arrow released from its bow.

…

Nan Jiaojiao poured herself a warm glass of water and took the medicine Bo Yanching had given her.

She then sat on the couch in the spot he had been sitting.

Her phone rang, from an unknown number.

After picking it up, she heard Yeh Hannian’s voice, “Have you met with Bo Yanching?”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t speak.

“Come on, with your clumsy mouth, I bet you didn’t explain things properly.

If you can’t handle it, should I go and find him?”

He hadn’t dared to decide straight away.

That’s why he was asking her now.

Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t even muster a cold laugh.

“What do you want to do?”

“Nothing much, just to shake him up a bit.

If he can’t withstand this little test, you might as well come with me to Mingzhou, where I can protect you.

What’s not to like?”

“Not good.”

Nan Jiaojiao refused, “I don’t want to live like that anymore.

Don’t contact me again.”

Yeh Hannian paused for a moment, then scoffed, “White Fox has come to Rongcheng City.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s grip on the phone tightened.

“He just arrived five minutes ago, by private plane, very secretive.

I’ve had people watching him.

He’s come to Rongcheng, and you’re here.

Guess what he’s here for?”

Nan Jiaojiao bit her lip, her breathing strained.

Standing by the window, Yeh Hannian felt the cold wind slap against his face, letting some of the breeze reach her through the phone.

“Xiao Nannan, you’re not insignificant in the Killing Alliance.

Although you signed a confidentiality agreement when you left, how could they possibly let you go easily?”
