Chapter 1398: The Power Move

About an hour later, he made a video call.

Nan Jiaojiao fumbled for her phone, answered it, and pointed it at her face.

“I was just having dinner with your grandpa.

I heard the video call but didn’t take it out,” Bo Yanching explained.

Nan Jiaojiao chuckled softly, “You should’ve answered it, right in front of Grandpa, then let me have a word with him.

He’d have a much better attitude towards you.”

Bo Yanching raised an eyebrow, “Is my little girl so favored by the elderly?”

“That depends on who it is.

Other people’s elders don’t like me.”

He chuckled deeply, loosening his tie with one hand.

When meeting elders, he was in a suit and well-dressed, which was more challenging than discussing business at a conference table all day.

Nan Jiaojiao scrutinized the background behind him, “Where are you?”

Bo Yanching switched the camera to a rear-view mode, panned around the room, then switched it back.

“Guess where I am.”

“Seems like the East Wing room, very close to Grandpa’s place.”

“Yes, it’s quite close, but mine is the farthest, a whole street away from Grandma’s and Aunt Chan’s rooms,” he sighed faintly, “It’s like I’m banished to the frontier.”

Nan Jiaojiao was amused, popping a potato chip in her mouth, crunching it loudly, mixing with her carefree laughter, “Be content, you’re lucky they didn’t make you sleep in the storeroom.”

“True.”

Bo Yanching took off his jacket, propped up two pillows, lay down, and raised his phone a bit higher, glancing at the time in the corner, “It’s late, go to sleep.”

“Are you going to sleep?”

Thinking she was concerned, Bo Yanching was about to speak when Nan Jiaojiao suddenly leaned in, eyes wide at him, “Don’t sleep yet, you haven’t showered.

Bo Yanching, you’re getting more and more careless, going to bed without a shower…

you’re paving the dark way for becoming a sloppy middle-aged man.”

Bo Yanching couldn’t keep up with her odd comments, but he heard her disdain clearly.

He exhaled a long breath, gently squinting his dark eyes, murmuring in a hoarse voice, “Sweetheart, I had a bit to drink, let me lie down for a bit, then I’ll shower.”

Nan Jiaojiao paused, “Did Grandpa make you drink?”

“Not forced, just indulged in a couple more glasses.

Probably because I haven’t had an open drink with Yaen Chi and the others lately, my tolerance has dropped.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t believe it.

There were a lot of fine wines at the Nan Residence, some aged with a strong kick.

Grandpa usually didn’t drink them unless sending them to Jiang Yu or entertaining unwelcome guests, with high alcohol content that could floor a wine god.

It seemed Grandpa really went all out to give his grandson-in-law a lesson.

Nan Jiaojiao almost felt sorry for Bo Yanching, “Then go to sleep.

Is there water in the room?

Have them bring some, otherwise, you’ll be uncomfortable in the middle of the night.”

Bo Yanching’s lips slightly curled, “I know.”

“I’m hanging up now.”

“Sweetheart,” Bo Yanching stopped her, “Is Elder Nan very hygienic?”

“A bit of a neat freak.”

“Okay,” he tapped on the screen as if pinching Nan Jiaojiao’s cheek, his half-closed eyes slightly tipsy, looking intently at Nan Jiaojiao, softly coaxed, “Go to sleep.

You have work tomorrow, wait for me to come back.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked at him for a while, then slowly got up from the sofa, went into the bathroom to wash up, and only after she changed into her nightdress and got into bed, saying goodnight, did he allow her to hang up.
