Chapter 845: Can't Take the Trouble

Men who fall into the whirlpool of love really are irrational.

“Stop being so uptight.

Yaen Chi set up a gathering at Minglun, why don’t you go have a few drinks?

Being drunk is better than going crazy all the time.”

Bo Yanching shot him a blank look, “I’m not going, I have to return to the old residence today.”

“Going back to give yourself away?”

Mo Tingshen teased deliberately, “Grandma Bo is very smart.

You won’t be able to hide it from her for long.

Since you’ve avoided her for so long, you might as well avoid her a few more days.

I remember Xu Shu said you couldn’t handle much strain with that injury.

How many trips have you flown on in a row this week?

If I hadn’t run into you at the dinner, were you planning not to return?”

Bo Yanching impatiently said, “Why are you becoming so naggy?”

“I wouldn’t say this to just anyone else, be content.

I’ve laughed enough, should I not develop some conscience?

What if I get struck by lightning?”

Bo Yanching didn’t want to talk to him.

Mo Tingshen just had to get into the car with him.

Thick-skinned enough, he followed to Bo Residence and had dinner there.

Later, as a hitchhiker, he took the lead in sending Bo Yanching home, actually wanting to see where Bo Yanching lived now.

In the end, the car stopped under Jinglan, and Mo Tingshen was silent.

On the other side, Nan Jiaojiao was dragged back to Mist Garden by Pei Dongshi.

Jiang Yu didn’t know she had been gone for nearly two months and was upset that Nan Jiaojiao hadn’t come to see her for that long, getting angrier as she spoke, insisting on seeing her out.

Pei Dongshi pressed Nan Jiaojiao’s shoulders, making her sit down.

He said, “Master, let her stay here for a few days, and I’ll come back every day after work, bringing you some Shochu Liquor.”

Jiang Yu’s expression changed several times within seconds, especially upon hearing that Nan Jiaojiao wanted to stay here.

She stood up swiftly, her eyes twitching fiercely, her mind overwhelmed, not knowing whether to protect the Medicine Garden first, the backyard pond, or her cheongsams in the wardrobe.

But against all resistance, a jug of Shochu Liquor resolved it all.

“Why is she staying here?”

Pei Dongshi knew that Nan Jiaojiao hadn’t been back to Feisheng for a long time, and her fastidiousness couldn’t tolerate the dust exceeding the limit in the air.

The truth was that he needed to find time and someone to clean it before picking Nan Jiaojiao up.

Who knows whose face to save?

“She feels guilty for not spending New Year with you.”

Nan Jiaojiao stared at him, full of disbelief.

She swore she felt no guilt, only a little sheepish.

Jiang Yu seemed to have suddenly caught her by the tail, sarcastically saying, “Yeah right, she goes back to Green City every New Year to accompany the old man named Nan, as if she had me in her heart.”

Nan Jiaojiao said, “But I spend a lot of time with you over the year.”

“Hmph.”

Jiang Yu laughed unpolitely, “Here to get gifts, aren’t you?”

“I didn’t…”

“Aunt Mou.”

Aunt Mou came over at the call, “The gifts are in Miss Jiaojiao’s room, untouched.

You’ll see them when you go back later; they’re all on the table.”

Nan Jiaojiao responded, “Okay, I’ll look at them when I go back.

Sorry for the trouble.”

“No trouble at all.

Elder Jiang has been talking about you for a long time.

When she heard you were coming, she had the kitchen make all your favorite dishes.

I’ll have someone bring them out now; wash your hands and let’s eat.”

Aunt Mou finished speaking and went to make the arrangements.

Nan Jiaojiao seated herself next to Jiang Yu, grabbing her hand, just grinning foolishly without saying a word.

Jiang Yu, afraid of being infected by her silliness, pushed her away disdainfully, yet still asked Pei Dongshi to bring her to the dining room.

A dish was still missing; the tomato brisket was on the stove simmering, lacking a bit more time.

Nan Jiaojiao took the opportunity to go back to her room and bring down the gifts sent by Elder Nan.
