Chapter 767: Who Do You Think You Are

In the palm of his spread hand was a lollipop and a small bottle of probiotic drink.

“I noticed that you little girls like to drink this.

Last time I came across two patients’ children in the department, I gave them a few bottles and they finished them in no time.

I’ll stock up more next time.”

Xu Shu was really good at coaxing people.

If it weren’t for the work ID hanging around his neck, anyone would think he was a pediatrician.

Nan Jiaojiao rarely relaxed her brows, “Thank you.”

It was good that she was willing to talk.

Xu Shu slightly lifted his hand, signaling for her to come and take it.

Nan Jiaojiao took it, and as Xu Shu turned around, she inserted the straw.

She didn’t care at all about Bo Yanching’s gaze that had been continuously watching her, treating it as if it were transparent, not giving him a direct look, not even a glance from the corner of her eye.

She hadn’t said a word, but the atmosphere was tense, and even Xu Shu could feel it.

He barely dared to breathe loudly, especially since he was treating Bo Yanching’s injury with his back towards Nan Jiaojiao.

Several times he felt as if his back was about to be scorched by a nameless fire.

“Alright, I won’t bother with pleasantries.

You know what to do, just avoid getting it wet,” he said.

Xu Shu quickly tidied the medical kit, removed his white gloves to throw in the trash, then leaned against the edge of the desk and wrote a prescription.

When he was about to leave, Nan Jiaojiao stood up and walked up to him, asking directly, “There are no other injuries, right?”

“Right, that’s all.

His wound is neither too serious nor too light.

Just change the dressing on time,” he replied.

“Hmm.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded and turned to leave.

She was even faster than Xu Shu.

It was as if she had just been sitting there to watch Bo Yanching’s injury get treated with her own eyes.

“Ah—”

After Xu Shu came to his senses, he instinctively tried to call her back, but someone was quicker than him.

They grabbed Nan Jiaojiao’s hand and pulled her back.

As Xu Shu turned to see what was happening, he caught a glimpse of Bo Yanching’s indulgent side profile and consciously excused himself.

He gently closed the door.

Only the two of them were left in the office.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t look at him.

She bit the straw, sipping the last two mouthfuls.

Air entered the tube, making a sizzling sound.

“Jiaojiao,” Bo Yanching said, his hand moving down from her arm, lifting her sleeve, and grasping her wrist.

His large sleeve fell, hiding half of his palm as well, “are you angry with me?”

Nan Jiaojiao chuckled coldly, “You figured it out, huh?”

Bo Yanching was taken aback and then realized that his girl never hid her feelings—if she was angry, she would express it directly.

“When you decided to come here, I panicked a little.

I was planning to go out to calm down before coming back to find you.

I took a wrong turn, and right in front of me, the third car had someone claiming to have a bomb—supposedly two of them.

The one that went off had a small charge, so it didn’t reach me, but the car beside me didn’t have blast-proof windows, so the glass broke and—” he explained.

“Bo Yanching.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

She looked up at him.

Her height was short compared to Bo Yanching, but with her head tilted and eyes slightly squinted, she oddly gave off the impression that she was looking down on him.

“Who do you think you are?” she asked.

Bo Yanching was momentarily stunned, his gaze incredulous and slightly panicked, struggling to respond.

“We’ve had two arguments, and both times I explained myself immediately.

But you wouldn’t listen.

The first time I was still willing to cajole you, but guess if I have the patience the second time?”

Bo Yanching’s grip on her hand loosened slightly, instinctively, but in a moment, he held on tight again.

“You don’t listen to me, yet you believe what others say.

Every time, you storm out in front of me—pfft—”
