Chapter 288: Yes I'm Humoring You

This sense of losing control was overwhelming to her, Bo Yanching seemed dangerous to her at this moment.

Nan Jiaojiao took off the necklace and stuffed it into his hand, her eyes cast downward as she moved past him.

“I’m leaving.”

Bo Yanching stepped forward with his long legs, one hand propped against the doorway, easily blocking her way.

Nan Jiaojiao stumbled slightly; her toes curled inside her slippers, tensing, and the scratch on her right ankle due to local congestion caught the man’s attention.

He stared at her, his eyes darkening wildly, “What’s the rush, am I a flood or a wild beast?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s throat tightened.

She hurriedly looked up at him, then lowered her head again, biting her lip without making a sound.

She couldn’t just say that Bo Yanching at this moment made her heart flutter and if she stayed any longer, she was afraid she might throw herself at him.

Bo Yanching didn’t care about that; he carried her back to the bed, set her down, and personally pressed down on her, ordering the waiter to bring the medical kit.

He squatted down, dipped a cotton swab in the antiseptic, and grabbed her foot.

The cool medicine on the wound made Nan Jiaojiao instinctively pull her foot back.

Bo Yanching’s palm arched over, hovered above her sole waiting for her to adjust, then he captured it again, cradling her foot in his palm, resting it on his knee.

“I’m not close with Kang Xiangyue.

Her grandmother and my grandmother are close friends; she always comes over to my place, but I’ve never entertained her.

The time you saw her in my room, I was pushing her away; I didn’t want you to misunderstand, but that was the closest she ever got to me, after that I didn’t allow her near me.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyebrows twitched, “Why are you telling me this?”

Bo Yanching gently massaged around her wound with his fingers, spreading the antiseptic, then continued, “Jih Mingyue was someone I brought in to provoke you.

When you went to confront me about her, I was planning to cut ties with her, but then I got too taken with your jealousy, so I kept her around.

I’ve never touched her, didn’t even hold her hand.”

Bo Yanching looked up, his deep eyes moving upwards, filled with a softness, “Sweetheart, our relationship wasn’t very pure at the beginning, I was embarrassed to admit that I liked you first.

Afraid that you wouldn’t like me, I provoked you with someone else.

I was wrong, I shouldn’t have.

I’ve never considered anyone so important in my heart, making you angry was my fault.”

Nan Jiaojiao bit her lip, her frown deepening, softened only under the gaze of his deep eyes.

She thought, Bo Yanching had probably never spoken such a long string of words in his life.

“Are you, thirsty?” Nan Jiaojiao clumsily asked, her own face turning red with embarrassment afterward.

Bo Yanching chuckled softly, “I don’t know how to be in a relationship, but I will learn.

Please give me another chance, okay?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s heart fluttered, uncertain as she looked at him, “Are you sweet-talking me?”

“Yes, sweet-talking you.

I’m inexperienced, but I’ll figure it out slowly, make more efforts, can you be a bit more patient, please?”

Nan Jiaojiao nudged him with her toe, “But you also scolded me.”

Seeing him about to speak, she preemptively added with a bit of affectation: “That day at the Han Family’s house.”

“I…”

“Never mind, I don’t want to hear it today.”

Nan Jiaojiao withdrew her foot, jumping off the bed.

Bo Yanching grabbed her, “Sweetheart, can we clear this up all at once?”

“I don’t want to!”

Nan Jiaojiao turned her head and glared at him, “My brain can’t handle it anymore!”

Bo Yanching had never wooed her so seriously before.

This isn’t about not having been in a relationship; that man clearly knew how to charm all too well.
