Chapter 858: Long Time No See

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t care about the last part of the sentence, but in this situation today, she really didn’t want to stay.

If she had known before coming that Chu Yao was freeloading on someone’s territory, she would never have agreed.

After calming down, a bit of regret emerged towards Yi Qinghuan.

However, the way she was stopped at the door was really beyond scrutiny.

So even the face she gave wasn’t that dignified.

She had Chu Yao find her a whip, and used it to roll up the remaining arrows and flicked them; each arrow accurately landed in the pot.

Chu Yao clapped her hands, “Did you see that?

This is how you play arrow throwing.

If you want to play, do it properly—why mock others and think you won’t interact in the future?”

She stood up, and Nan Jiaojiao hadn’t sat down.

Chu Yao exchanged a glance with her, and the two of them tacitly headed outside.

“Miss Chu, are you leaving just like that?”

The speaker was Miss Wang.

If Chu Yao left, wouldn’t her difficulty with Yi Qinghuan be remembered?

Chu Yao turned halfway, sneered, and said, “Why?

Do I really need to smash this place up?

I’m just joking, the host of the banquet is Miss Yi, you’ve backed the wrong person.”

What does that mean?

Chu Yao caused a scene and quit playing?

Wouldn’t that be like exposing the true faces of most people present to the Yi family?

The Yi family is not to be trifled with, at least much stronger than their families.

If Yi Qinghuan held a grudge and caused trouble for their parents’ companies…

As they came back to their senses, their faces turned pale with fear.

Outside the small villa, as soon as Nan Jiaojiao stepped off the stairs, she heard a man’s gentle voice behind her, “Jiaojiao.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned around and locked eyes with Bo Yanching.

His deep-set eyes were filled entirely with her.

Bo Yanching descended the steps, buttoned the two buttons on his suit, and when he reached her, he slightly lowered his head to accommodate Nan Jiaojiao’s height, his lips slightly curved.

“You’re back?”

His voice was very low, deep, yet it sounded light and airy in her ears.

Nan Jiaojiao almost couldn’t suppress her increasingly buoyant heart.

Her hand holding the cigarette holder stiffened a bit, so she changed her pose, holding it horizontally behind her back with one hand, elegantly like holding a flute.

“Bo Yanching, long time no see.”

“Mm.”

He softly replied, “Long time no see.”

For a moment, it was hard to tell whose voice was more lingering and tender.

Bo Yanching asked, “Is your phone number still the same as before?”

“Yes.”

“Shall I contact you?”

Nan Jiaojiao hesitated for a bit, “Okay.”

After she answered, she realized that Bo Yanching, who originally stood a meter away from her, was now only half an arm’s length away after just a few sentences.

Nan Jiaojiao instinctively wanted to retreat, but was being stared at without blinking, the feeling like a thorn in her back making her scalp tingle.

She paused, didn’t retreat, and instead threw herself at him.

Bo Yanching didn’t dodge, immediately reaching out to embrace her waist.

But he didn’t get to.

She blocked him, raised her hand to cover his eyes, and gently pushed upward.

He cooperatively leaned his head back, his Adam’s apple moving, “Jiaojiao, what are you doing?”

Nan Jiaojiao could feel the gentle flutter of the man’s eyelashes in her palm, the touch brushing her palm.

She pressed her lips together, “I don’t know, not doing anything.

Do you have something to say to me?”

Bo Yanching chuckled softly, “I want to say something, but seeing you, I don’t know where to start.”

“Then don’t say it.”

“What about you?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s mood was complicated, in disarray.

She had thought she would inevitably meet him after returning to Rongcheng, but she didn’t expect Bo Yanching’s attitude towards her.

Still doting, with a voice so tender it twined around her, speaking in hushed tones, as if he was afraid of startling her.

But it shouldn’t be like this.
