Chapter 841: A Man Like Him Proud and Lofty

She played the piano, while Elder Nan enjoyed his tea.

Uncle Qiu brought over the chessboard and accompanied Elder Nan for two games.

Half an hour later, Nan Jiaojiao glanced at the clock on the wall, “Grandpa, it’s getting late, you should rest.”

Elder Nan curved his lips, glanced at Uncle Qiu, who sensibly got up and gave up his seat.

“Jiaojiao, come and finish this game with Grandpa.”

“Alright.”

Nan Jiaojiao sat down, gave the chessboard a quick look.

She was Heizi, it was her turn to play next.

After making her move, Elder Nan deliberately looked at her.

Her chess skills were taught by Elder Nan, Nan Jue could play too, his skills were better than Elder Nan’s, but every time he played with Elder Nan, either Elder Nan won or it ended in a draw, and after a while, Elder Nan became tired of it and refused to play with him.

Nan Jiaojiao wouldn’t be lenient, when she played, she did so earnestly.

One game down, it was exhilarating.

The situation on the board was already clear, Elder Nan smiled, placed the last piece, “I lost.”

Nan Jiaojiao said, “Grandpa let me win.”

“Whatever makes you happy, but I really didn’t let you win, I’m getting old, can’t keep up.”

Nan Jiaojiao walked around, held Elder Nan’s arm, and walked with him to the room.

She only accompanied him to the door, Elder Nan patted her hand, “Bo Yanching came, stayed here for half a month, and only left after spending the New Year with me.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s brows moved slightly.

“Before leaving, he went to your room but didn’t touch anything.

He sat by the window in your room all night.”

“Why…

did he come?”

Elder Nan chuckled, “Said you invited him.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s lips moved, seemingly wanting to say something but swallowing it back.

Elder Nan could see it clearly; she was helping Bo Yanching cover up.

Instinctive protective behavior, dare say the relationship is simple?

“Alright, I saw through it early on.

Bo Yanching is one of the best among the juniors.

I’ve met him, his character and temperament are quite good.

Such a person, proud and ambitious, willing to come here to accompany me, the old man, shows he’s genuinely concerned for you.”

Nan Jiaojiao raised her eyes, not knowing what to say, called dryly, “Grandpa…”

“Or do you mean, you’re not interested in him?”

Nan Jiaojiao shook her head.

“Then that’s settled.

Go back quickly.

I won’t interfere in you young people’s affairs, but no matter what, Grandpa is behind you.”

Elder Nan looked at her affectionately, “Your little uncle doesn’t have this privilege.

If he dares to mention the Nan family outside, I won’t let it slide.”

The implication was that the Nan family is her support, she can always rely on her background to back herself up.

Nan Jiaojiao held back for many days, but couldn’t anymore, cried for a while.

In the end, Elder Nan had to comfort her, personally sent her back to her room before leaving.

Nan Jiaojiao opened the window, sat at the spot Bo Yanching had sat.

The magnolia tree outside was blooming, petals gently falling, Nan Jiaojiao picked up the petals on the windowsill, arranging the intact ones to the side, and stacking the broken ones, then took a notebook from the drawer to press the petals between the pages.

Her intuition was sharp, although she relaxed a bit back at Nan Mansion, staying so many days, she didn’t feel anything in the room had been moved.

If Bo Yanching wanted to, he would have gone through everything long ago.

Thinking and thinking, Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but chuckle.

She didn’t sit for long, went to bed early.

The next day when she left, Elder Nan didn’t come to see her off.

It was Uncle Qiu who took her to the airport.

Afraid she might misunderstand, Uncle Qiu spoke on Elder Nan’s behalf, “The old gentleman is afraid of feeling sad, so he didn’t come to see you off, your New Year gift has already been sent to Mist Garden, remember to check it when you get back.”
