Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Chapter 1969: Chapter 72: Diversion in the East and West

She hung up again.

He called again!

After several repetitions, Jin Bo looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "A call you don’t want to take?"

Yan Xiaoxi remained silent.

Jin Bo said, "Let me."

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Jin Bo, hesitated for a few minutes, then shook her head, "It’s nothing, just some work stuff."

She walked to the side, picked up the call, and lowered her voice, "What’s the matter?"

Lu Yi asked, "Xiaoxi, where did you go?"

Yan Xiaoxi replied, "Work, a business trip."

Lu Yi, wearing sunglasses and a mask, glanced around, "When will you be back?"

Yan Xiaoxi, "What do you need me for?"

Lu Yi, "We’ll talk when you return."

"I’m still busy, I’ll hang up now."

Yan Xiaoxi glanced towards Jin Bo’s direction.

Lu Yi stood in the hallway, looking at the closed door, "Alright, call me when you get back."

Yan Xiaoxi didn’t reply, and hung up the phone.

Lu Yi was about to speak, heard the busy tone, and after a long time, pressed the red hang-up button, heading towards the elevator.

Yan Xiaoxi stood there, feeling a bit down.

She glanced towards Jin Bo’s direction and walked over, "Are we going back now?"

Jin Bo looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Did you encounter any troubles at work?"

Yan Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes."

Jin Bo didn’t say anything, he held Yan Xiaoxi’s hand.

Yan Xiaoxi shrank her fingers a little, but didn’t pull away, letting him hold them.

The two got back in the car, and Jin Bo drove her back to the military area.

When the car stopped downstairs of the dormitory, he looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "I have to go back."

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Jin Bo.

Jin Bo suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled out a box from his coat pocket, and opened it.

Yan Xiaoxi was stunned, seeing a white Alhambra clover bracelet from Van Cleef & Arpels.

Jin Bo put it on her wrist, "Don’t take it off. I bought this with my savings."

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Jin Bo, not expecting such a detail from such a prominent man.

After putting it on her, Jin Bo glanced at Yan Xiaoxi, picked up her fingers, and his thin lips kissed the tip lightly.

Yan Xiaoxi sat there, her whole body stiffening for a moment, a static-like sensation spreading from her fingertips through her whole body.

Jin Bo let go of her hand, "Don’t want to get out of the car?"

Yan Xiaoxi opened the car door and got out, running into the dormitory.

When she returned to the dormitory, Aunt Shu was not there. She went to the balcony, seeing his car still parked below.

A few seconds later, the car started, slowly heading north.

She just stood there, watching as the car gradually drove out of her sight.

It wasn’t until Shu Ran returned that Yan Xiaoxi snapped back, "Aunt Shu, you’re back?"

Shu Ran looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Did you go to the hospital?"

Yan Xiaoxi smiled, "Yes, I did."

Shu Ran’s gaze fell on Yan Xiaoxi’s knee, "Is it nothing serious?"

Yan Xiaoxi, "It’s nothing serious, the doctor said it’s just a minor injury, it’ll be fine once the scabs fall off."

Shu Ran, "Did you ask the doctor if it’ll leave a scar?"

Yan Xiaoxi thought about Jin Bo.

The doctor wasn’t professional, didn’t say if it would leave a scar, but based on her experience, it shouldn’t.

She looked at Shu Ran, "The doctor said it won’t."

Shu Ran sat down, lying on the bed, "That’s good. By the way, can you attend training in the next few days?"

Yan Xiaoxi moved her leg, it seemed to have no impact, "I should be able to."

Shu Ran, "Don’t just say ’should’, take a few days off."

Yan Xiaoxi spoke up in embarrassment, "Wouldn’t that be causing trouble for everyone?"

Shu Ran, "There’s no need to be polite."

While talking, the phone rang.

Seeing it was Wen Nuan, Shu Ran answered.
