Chapter 38 Xiao Chen laughed and said, "Oh, you can talk? I asked you ten questions just now, and you didn't say a word."
Nan Jiao approached, looking at Lu Yanyan with some surprise: "Yanyan, why are you here alone? Where is Lu Xiao?"
Lu Yanyan was covered in dust, and there were streaks of dust on her fair face, making her look like a poor, homeless girl.
His lips moved slightly: "I... I came here by myself."
"You came here by yourself?" Nan Jiao frowned slightly, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face. Yan Yan bounced slightly but did not dodge.
Soon, Yan Yan's face regained its fair complexion.
"Lu Xiao is outrageous! He actually let a child run out alone. It's absolutely outrageous!"
Seeing Nan Jiao take out her communicator, a soft little hand grasped the hem of her dress: "No..."
"Please don't tell him, okay?"
Nan Jiao put the communicator back; she simply couldn't refuse Yan Yan's request.
Looking at the time on her wristwatch, Nan Jiao squatted down and asked Yan Yan, "Shall we go inside and eat?"
“Oh no…” Yan Yan raised his protective mechanism like a hedgehog. He took a step back, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance as he looked at her, but he still resolutely took a step back.
As Aunt Fengran said, three years have passed. Perhaps Mom doesn't hate him as much as she did back then for almost taking her life. But Yan Yan can't let go of the past. Perhaps he shouldn't have been born.
Most importantly, now that Mom has a new life, I should offer my blessings rather than disturb her.
"Why?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm leaving."
The next second, his stomach let out a disobedient growl.
Xiao Chen burst out laughing without any politeness: "You little brat, how old are you and you're already so arrogant? Aren't you hungry yet?"
Yan Yan's ears turned slightly red, as she was very embarrassed because she was shy.
Nan Jiao glared at Xiao Chen, then took Yan Yan's hand: "I can't let you go back alone. You're too young, I'm worried about you. Come back with me for dinner first, don't refuse me, okay? If you don't agree, I'll have to ask Lu Xiao to pick you up."
Yan Yan was led into the store by Nan Jiao's hand.
The chef had already placed the food on the table: "Oh, whose baby is this? It's so cute!"
"It's from my family," Nan Jiao replied casually, placing the bowl of noodles in front of Yan Yan.
Yan Yan's lips curled into a smile, which quickly disappeared.
Nan Jiao looked at Yan Yan and said in a very gentle tone, "Try it and see how it is. If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll make you something else."
Yan Yan picked up his chopsticks, took a bite, and shook his head: "I want to eat what you made."
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow: "You're such a picky eater, kid."
Nan Jiao immediately pulled out her notebook: "Then... tell me what you want to eat, and I'll write it down."
Yan Yan named several dishes.
Nan Jiao took the snacks from the employee and handed them to Yan Yan: "Have this to tide you over, I'll make something right away."
Before going to the kitchen, Nan Jiao arranged for her staff to go to a nearby shopping mall to buy a few sets of cub clothes.
After transferring 200,000 star coins, Nan Jiao gave a final instruction: "Don't try to save me money. Get the best. If it's not enough, just ask me for more."
Half an hour later, Nan Jiao came out carrying a tray, and the aroma attracted many people.
After putting down the food, Nan Jiao subconsciously touched Yan Yan's head, when she suddenly heard Xiao Chen remind her, "Boss, he... doesn't allow you to touch his hair, and he just bit me."
Nan Jiao quickly let go of his hand: "Sorry..."
Yan Yan, who was enjoying being stroked with his eyes half-closed, suddenly opened them. He glared at Xiao Chen and then said:
"You can... touch it."
His face turned red again as he said that.
Nan Jiao ruffled his hair, and couldn't help but rub his fluffy ears twice when she touched them.
Feeling that Yan Yan's body tensed up a bit, she quickly let go of her hand.
How could she forget that ears and tails are sensitive areas for orcs, and only close friends or family members can touch them?
"You can touch the ears too..."
A fluffy tail was handed to her: "A tail is fine too..."
Nan Jiao couldn't help but rub it again and again, her maternal love almost overflowing.
"By the way, Yan Yan, quickly try this and see if it suits your taste..."
Nan Jiao's voice sounded a bit nervous.
She made it according to Yan Yan's taste, but she wasn't sure if Yan Yan's taste had changed.
Yan Yan took a bite, and her eyes instantly turned red, and a few tears fell.
Nan Jiao hurriedly wiped away his tears: "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking? Is it too spicy?"
Nan Jiao remembers that Yan Yan can't eat too much spicy food; she cried because of the spiciness of chili peppers when she was a child.
She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite: "Strange, it's not spicy..."
Yan Yan sniffed: "It's not spicy, it's just so delicious..."
"Did you cry from how delicious it was? Then eat some more." Nan Jiao couldn't help but smile, her heart finally at ease.
"good……"
"Boss, I'm back. I bought the clothes as you instructed. What do you think?"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Nan Jiao took it and went upstairs to quickly dry and wash it.
In about five minutes, the clothes were completely dry and felt soft to the touch.
When she came downstairs, she was surprised to see that Yan Yan had already devoured all the food on the table. Her eyes were filled with complicated emotions: "Yan Yan, have you not eaten for a while?"
Yan Yan thought for a moment: "Half a day."
There were snacks in the room, but he didn't want to eat them. In the morning, he broke through the window and ran out. Fortunately, it wasn't far from here. He walked for half an hour and was then given a ride by a kind aunt.
Nan Jiao clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with anger: "Doesn't Lu Xiao feed you?"
"No..." Yan Yan shook her head, not wanting to bring it up again.
"The food was so delicious that I couldn't help but finish it all."
Nan Jiao tenderly wiped his mouth and asked, "Are you full?"
Lu Yanyan nodded and touched her round belly: "It feels... a little full."
Nan Jiao laughed out loud at his words: "Your clothes are covered in dust, shall I take you to change them?"
Yan Yan nodded slowly.
After changing her clothes, Yan Yan mentioned leaving again.
Nan Jiao suppressed her disappointment and gave him a smile: "Okay, I'll have your dad come pick you up."
"No, I can go back by myself."
"How are you going to get back by yourself? If you don't want Lu Xiao to pick you up, then I'll take you back."
Lu Yanyan paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before finally nodding.
Nan Jiao took his hand, and this time he did not refuse.
Upon arriving at the nearby train station, Yan Yan frowned and said, "I don't like sky trains, I'm afraid of heights..."
Nan Jiao was taken aback, then rubbed his head to comfort him: "It's okay, then we won't sit here."
In the end, Nan Jiao chose to hire a car to set off, with Yan Yan sitting next to her, about a few centimeters away.
"ah--"
While driving through a muddy section of road, a driver's terrified scream suddenly rang out.
