Chapter 1145: Integrity

When Bo Yanching spoke, his breath was so close that the few strands of hair on Nan Jiaojiao’s forehead fluttered with his breathing.

His suit had been given to Bo Mu, leaving him with only a shirt.

To accommodate the wound on his chest, he had loosened two buttons, and after getting caught in the rain, several patches of his white shirt were wet, roughly revealing the tight waist and abdominal muscles beneath, and the veins protruding on his arms.

He hadn’t shaved, a new stubble appearing, and when he lowered his head, it occasionally brushed against Nan Jiaojiao.

At this moment, she was encircled in his embrace, her gaze able to peer inside his clothes.

From this angle, when he lowered his head, she could vaguely glimpse the hair sticking to the neck, a shallow curve, very alluring.

Nan Jiaojiao felt quite guilty, considering the fact that he had just lost his father, and here she was, caught up in a tender moment with him.

Inevitably, she felt some guilt, yet she was most easily swayed by Bo Yanching’s subtle charm.

That kind of unintentional seductiveness made her throat dry.

Fearing she might not be able to resist and would pounce on him like an untamed animal, she modestly retreated a bit.

“I’m just teasing you, I know it’s mine, no need to coax.”

Nan Jiaojiao grasped the hand he had placed on her waist, pinched his wrist, moved his hand away, and turned to get the slippers.

“Can you wear them, or do you need my help?”

Bo Yanching leaned against the wall, “I can wear them.”

If he had said he couldn’t, Nan Jiaojiao would have been upset after gauging the strength he just used to hold her.

Might as well play along.

Pretending to be considerate, Nan Jiaojiao softened, and even set the slippers out for him.

“I can only humble myself to this extent; you wear them yourself.”

Bo Yanching paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, “Why not just help me put them on?”

“Is that really something you do casually!”

Nan Jiaojiao put on the pair of bunny slippers, her back straight, “That’s a matter of principle!”

Bo Yanching was quite impressed with her.

“Is there anything in the fridge?

Are you hungry?

I’ll make you something to eat?”

Nan Jiaojiao adapted for a moment, found the fridge, opened it, and found meat and shrimp, as well as vegetables.

She stood by the cooling vent in a daze for two seconds, then decisively closed the fridge door and picked up her phone.

Bo Yanching walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?

I had Han Che stock the fridge, is there nothing?”

“There is.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t even lift her eyelids, “I was just talking big, can’t actually cook.

I’m ordering takeout for you.”

Bo Yanching ???

So the virtuous act was just for show, huh.

The doorbell rang, and Bo Yanching took her phone, “The hotel should be sending food over soon, shouldn’t be too fast, go and see who it is at the door.”

“Oh.”

Nan Jiaojiao headed towards the door.

Bo Yanching opened the fridge, glanced inside, and fell silent.

It was obvious Han Che misunderstood his instructions; he wanted it stocked with some snacks and drinks, not these items.

Nan Jiaojiao was the kind not to dirty her hands in the kitchen, Bo Yanching usually did the cooking.

Now that he’s injured and can’t move, he hadn’t planned on having her cook for him.

“Bo Yanching.”

Nan Jiaojiao called out.

He turned back, just about to ask what happened, when he saw the three people who came in.

His face instantly darkened.

Besides Xu Shu, the other two had properties in the Capital City but hadn’t lived there for a while.

Coming here on short notice was less comfortable than staying at a hotel.

It was logical that newly reunited couples shouldn’t be disturbed, but Xu Shu mentioned that Bo Yanching got caught in the rain, which might affect his wound; he wanted to go over and change Bo Yanching’s dressing.

So, a group of them decided to thicken their skin and follow along.
