Chapter 305: Living Separately in the Future

“Haven’t had enough sleep this morning?”

Nan Jiaojiao shrank guiltily into the blanket, “Stayed up late, so sleepy.”

Bo Yanching had failed to control himself last night, coaxing her for ‘one last time’ repeatedly, promising to let her sleep well afterward.

But after countless ‘last times,’ she ended up crying, tugging at his hair and sobbing.

Even if he wanted more, he had to let her be.

By the time they stopped, it was already light outside.

Indeed, he hadn’t allowed her to rest well.

“Then I’ll go to the company this afternoon, finish up my work, and come back to take you out for dinner.”

Nan Jiaojiao: “I’m not dining with you, I’ve arranged to have dinner with Zhenzhen yesterday.”

Bo Yanching became emotional, “It’s only the first day, and you’re driving me out, not even eating with me?”

Nan Jiaojiao looked up at him with eyes clear and dewy like a deer’s, silently gazing at him with a particularly aggrieved expression, her face brimming with coquettish charm.

He surrendered instantly, “Alright, as you wish.

Let me know once you’re done eating, and I’ll come to pick you up.”

“I want to go back to Feisheng.”

“Are we going to live separately from now on?”

Nan Jiaojiao thought he was asking a strange question.

Dating isn’t the same as being married; living together on the very first day would soon diminish the novelty.

“I thought you wouldn’t want me clinging too tightly and that you’d want some personal space.”

“How could that be?” he desired the opposite, “If you want to stay at Feisheng, that’s fine, I’ll pack my clothes and move over.”

Nan Jiaojiao shook her head, her hair pressing against his legs.

As she shook her head, she pulled a strand painfully.

She wanted to run her fingers through it, but before her hand reached out, Bo Yanching had already brushed her hair back over her shoulder.

“You’re so clingy,” she looked at him half-complaining, half-teasing, “If you stick this closely, I might get tired of you soon.”

Bo Yanching was startled, disbelief spreading across his eyes.

He was actually being rejected.

Perhaps Nan Jiaojiao’s first words were to save face for him, but the latter was her true feelings.

Bo Yanching couldn’t help but laugh, his forehead against his hand.

The more he laughed, the more self-deprecating he sounded.

He said, “I won’t cling, I’ll be good.”

Thinking about it, he really felt at a loss.

He lowered his head to kiss her, intending just to press close, but once he touched her, he couldn’t bear to let go.

Nan Jiaojiao’s breathing became unstable, pushing at him, “You should hurry to the office, mmm…”

Bo Yanching: “Just a moment, I won’t bother you for long, please, Baby, I won’t go further…”

Nan Jiaojiao’s heart softened.

An hour later, Bo Yanching carried her into the bathroom to wash, and after cleaning her thoroughly, he carried her back to bed.

Nan Jiaojiao quickly rolled to the furthest edge, lying snug against the side, keeping as far from him as possible.

She was so exhausted she couldn’t even make a facial expression.

She couldn’t understand why he, having not rested enough either, was still so energetic, looking utterly satisfied and refreshed, his hands steady as he tied his tie.

Nan Jiaojiao instantly felt resentful.

She felt like a pitiable creature drained of vitality by the Demon Monk.

Bo Yanching ordered some hotel meals, coaxing her to eat a little.

He hardly touched his food, busy feeding her.

After she finished and was back in bed, only then did he sit down to hastily eat a bowl.

When he left, he closed the door quietly.

When Nan Jiaojiao woke up, it was already evening.

Lu Zhenzhen’s call had come half an hour ago.

Nan Jiaojiao returned her call, asking for an extra hour to get up from bed, wash and dress, her legs shaking and hands trembling, struggling several times to squeeze out the toothpaste.
