Given that the other party was an old lady, Nan Jiaojiao ran out of patience to tangle with people, but she also couldn’t shake her off.
A hint of irritation appeared between her eyebrows and eyes.
She asked, “How did I affect your car?”
The old lady just stared at her, “Beauty!”
“…” She even skipped hesitating this time, Nan Jiaojiao gave up resisting and obediently let the old lady push her into the car.
The car took several turns and entered a villa area.
She glanced quickly at the house number as the car drove straight in.
This was an antique-looking house, with carved beams and painted rafters, handrails, and corridors.
Beneath its ancient charm was a touch of luxury; even the small stones used for the paved road were haphazardly cut emeralds.
Nan Jiaojiao was dumped in the corridor, facing off with the parrot hanging in a cage.
“Ugly freak!”
Nan Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment.
She even subconsciously looked left and right, “Are you calling me?”
“Ugly freak!” the parrot repeated.
Nan Jiaojiao raised her hand and yanked the birdcage hard, “Give you another chance to call, call me beautiful lady.”
The parrot’s beak clamped shut tightly, its eyes widened in disbelief at the shamelessness before it, suddenly fluttering its wings and squawking:
“Ugly freak, ugly freak!
You are an ugly freak!”
Nan Jiaojiao was so angry she got a headache, “You’re ugly!”
“You’re ugly, you’re ugly!”
Nan Jiaojiao could tolerate others calling her dumb, but she absolutely couldn’t allow anyone to call her ugly, not even a bird.
She reached into the birdcage, pretending to grab some birdseed to scare it, but the wretched bird suddenly got excited, pecked at her hand. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
“Ah…”
Birdseed scattered all over, and the parrot opened its throat and screamed “ugly freak,” the cries both angry and poignant.
Nan Jiaojiao let out a breath, “Forget it, birds don’t understand human aesthetics.
Here, I’ll pick it up for you, don’t call out anymore.”
As she squatted down to pick it up, footsteps approached.
“Miss, our old lady asked you to wait for her in the front hall, I’ll take you there.”
Auntie Wu had been looking for her for a while and spoke with a slight pant.
Nan Jiaojiao had just picked up the last piece and responded.
She was about to put the birdseed back into the cage.
“We can’t do that, Xiao Ba has a cleanliness fetish, it won’t eat anything that falls on the ground.”
Nan Jiaojiao sheepishly retracted her hand and followed inside.
As they turned past the screen, she glanced sideways and was instantly stunned.
Bo Yanching sat on the sofa, looking down at the documents in his hand, his profile exuding superiority, his demeanor cool and aloof.
“Miss, please wait here for the old lady; she will be here in a moment.”
Nan Jiaojiao dared not make a sound.
It was Bo Yanching who seemed slightly wary upon hearing the footsteps.
He looked up, his dark eyes briefly intensifying. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Nan Jiaojiao was just about to sit down when her body stiffened for a half-second before she began to sit cautiously.
Outwardly, she remained composed, but inside, she was extremely panicked.
Bo Yanching asked, “What’s going on?”
Auntie Wu couldn’t say outright, so she bent down and explained in his ear, “Picked up from the street.”
His brow twitched, and then he slowly smiled, “Bring some desserts over.”
Auntie Wu was initially stunned, then after glancing at Nan Jiaojiao several times, she walked off happily.
She inexplicably felt like she had walked into a wolf’s den.
With Auntie Wu gone, the atmosphere became so awkward it was toe-curling.
She felt restless.
What was this?
She and Bo Yanching were merely physically compatible; they had been together only a few times, at most they were bed partners.
Showing up unannounced at his house, he must think she was plotting something.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Bo Yanching slightly lifted his eyes and looked towards her, “What are you afraid of?”
Nan Jiaojiao’s gaze wavered before she looked away.
Her earlobes tensed up into little bumps, “I didn’t know you were here.”
