Chapter 584: Blasted Out

But at last, Bo Yanching, using a mix of coaxing and trickery, had Nan Jiaojiao sleep in his room, while he himself went to sleep in the guest room next door.

The Old Lady and Bo Qingshan made a scene, but their attempt was unsuccessful, and they subdued themselves eventually.

“Here’s a newly opened towel, the toothbrush is new, you can use my toothpaste, and you can wear my pajamas.”

Bo Yanching drew water into the bathtub while the room’s heater was on.

He only wore a shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

From the cabinet above his head, he grabbed a set of new toiletries and bathing supplies, placing them on the low table next to the bathtub.

A little farther, on a taller cabinet, lay a set of gray pajamas.

Nan Jiaojiao stood lazily at the doorway, leaning against the doorframe, her eyes partly hidden.

Bo Yanching turned around and just caught her yawning from fatigue.

“Tired?”

As he approached, Nan Jiaojiao leaned forward, her body pliant like boneless, resting in his arms with her arms wrapped around herself, her chin prodding his chest while she looked up at him, yet her gaze was directed downward.

“I didn’t take a nap today, can’t hold up anymore.”

She had just spent a long time playing chess with the Old Lady.

She had suppressed several yawns.

Bo Yanching’s heart melted at the sight, hooking her hair behind her ear, “Go wash, I’ll come to call you later.”

“Mmm.”

Bo Yanching helped her undress, leaving on her undergarments for her to handle, turned up the heater, and then closed the door behind him as he left.

Nan Jiaojiao’s phone was on the cabinet outside the bathroom, face down, already set to silent mode, yet it lit up again.

Ye Family.

Ye Xinyu had lost count of how many calls she had made, though they were connected, no one answered.

Her face dark with gloom, she gazed at the heap of gift boxes thrown on the sofa, pressing down on her brows forcefully.

She and her grandfather had personally carried gifts to the Lu Family’s home, but neither Mr.

and Mrs.

Lu were present.

Lu Zhenzhen was there, but she didn’t even show her face, nor did she let them in, and even threw the gifts back out.

Ye Xinyu had never been humiliated like this.

Always proud and haughty, since being transferred back from abroad, things at Ye’s had gone smoothly for her.

With senior advice and being close to Bo Yanching, her vice-presidential position, albeit formal and higher-ranking, controlled an entire department with a lofty and superior style.

It was the first time she had pleaded humbly, only to be slammed out.

“Still can’t get through?” Ye Junliang stared at her intently.

Ye Xinyu shook her head disdainfully.

Chen Nian said angrily, “What does Miss Lu mean by this?

At least she should meet and listen to what Xinyu has to say.

To not even see her and kick her out, that’s just too arrogant.

If she didn’t have such a family background—”

“Shut up!”

Ye Congde broke into a cold sweat, “How dare you speak ill of the Lu family, who are you trying to harm!”

Chen Nian looked fearful yet unwilling, muttering softly, “I wasn’t wrong…”

“Xinyu, is Miss Lu really just making things easier for Nan Jiaojiao?

Could it be that they already knew each other?” Ye Junliang brooded heavily, finding this the only plausible explanation.

Only Ye Shiqing and Shen Shichu knew about Nan Jiaojiao and Lu Zhenzhen being acquainted, and that was from an accidental encounter, which also included questioning Nan Jiaojiao who had given elusive answers.

After hearing Ye Shiqing’s serious attention to it wasn’t taken lightly.

After returning, Ye Shiqing didn’t tell anyone about it.

If Nan Jiaojiao really knew such an influential figure, the Ye family elders would have shifted their focus to Nan Jiaojiao long ago, making Ye Shiqing’s effort to prevent Nan Jiaojiao from returning to the Ye family utterly in vain.
