Chapter 816: Confession

Elder Nan gestured the height, “About this tall, perhaps.”

Bo Yanching crouched halfway and asked, “Was she very thin at that time?”

“You call this thin?”

Elder Nan glanced at him, his expression clearly stating: Nobody is allowed to say anything bad about my precious.

“By that time, Jiang Yu had already helped to nurse her health, she had gained some flesh.

When we first found her, she was even thinner.

She stayed with a pack of wolves, fighting for food with a bunch of animals.

Jiang Yu was hiking in the deep mountains and happened to see her, dragged her out of the wolves’ den.

She couldn’t distinguish between good and bad people, but it seemed she had been in contact with humans before.

After being raised for a while, she lost her aggression.”

Perhaps because so much time had passed, when recalling these events, Elder Nan’s tone was very calm, his eyes gentle, yet containing a trace of heartache.

Bo Yanching was deeply shocked, “She stayed with wolves?”

“Yes, initially Jiang Yu would be attacked by her every day, and she would eat lying on the ground grabbing food with her hands.

Later, Jiang Yu taught her to use chopsticks, gradually changing her.

At that time, she was just skin and bones, Jiang Yu used quite a lot of medicinal herbs to save her.

Otherwise, her little body wouldn’t have survived that winter.”

That’s why Nan Jiaojiao is very afraid of the cold.

Even before winter officially arrived, she already wrapped herself tightly whenever going out, there was always a hat on her head.

Bo Yanching teased her a few times, but she didn’t say anything, just looked at him with increasing disdain.

He stopped teasing her and would prepare hot milk tea when picking her up, turn on the car heater in advance, and hold her hands to transfer his warmth to her.

Bo Yanching couldn’t help but wonder more than once, could it be that this girl grew up soaked in cold water?

Even bundled in layers, her hands were still so cold.

“Later, Jiaojiao was taken under Nan Jue’s wing and discovered to have excellent bone structure.

The first time she played with a gun, she hit the bullseye.

When I found out that brat had set his sights on her, I was so angry I wanted to cut ties with him.”

Bo Yanching raised his eyebrows lightly, looking up at Elder Nan from below, maintaining his posture of one knee on the ground, half-squatting.

“Later on, something came up that occupied him, and I stopped worrying.

Who knew, just when I went on a business trip, that brat secretly took Jiaojiao home and sent her to the base, where she trained with some older kids.

I told Nan Jue to bring her back, and he said Jiaojiao had a wild streak in her bones that shouldn’t be suppressed or neglected.

Without steering her onto the right path, a single wrong step could ruin her life.”

Bo Yanching’s fingers resting on his knee suddenly clenched tightly.

“What kind of place is that?” his voice became tense.

Elder Nan gave him a meaningful look, “Kid, you’re not just Jiaojiao’s friend, are you?

What’s your relationship with her?”

Bo Yanching didn’t hide anything, “Boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Elder Nan chuckled, “How far have you gotten?”

Bo Yanching didn’t think Elder Nan was being inappropriate by asking such a question.

Moreover, his expression wasn’t the least bit frivolous; though he smiled, his shrewd and piercing eyes hid the sharpness of a blade.

“As long as she agrees, I will marry her.”

Hearing this, the chill in Elder Nan’s eyes gradually dissipated.

He sat up, leisurely leaning back in his chair, and the oppressive feeling he had just emitted disappeared without a trace.

“Nan Jue mentioned you to me.

It was you who took Jiaojiao to the manor last time, wasn’t it?”

Bo Yanching: “Yes.”

“Did she tell you about her own identity?”
