Chapter 720: Let me see you

Nan Jiaojiao got home almost at midnight.

Before going upstairs, she had a bowl of crab roe noodles outside the community and ended up with a mouthful, so when she got back, she was looking for water to drink and then collapsed on the couch, too lazy to move.

When Bo Yanching called her, just a glance at his name instantly revitalized her spirit.

She sat up abruptly as if suddenly reanimated, grabbing her phone and heading into the bathroom.

As she walked, she stripped off her clothes, turned on the tap, and before it was even halfway filled, she had already sat down in it.

“Hello?”

“Why did it take so long to answer, were you asleep?”

Nan Jiaojiao wiped the water from her palm and said softly, “No, I just had a late-night snack.”

“This late?” Bo Yanching paused, glanced at his watch.

“Did the professor keep you again?”

“Ah…” Nan Jiaojiao stared at the ceiling.

“I was just busy until late and forgot to return your message.”

Actually, she had seen it.

Bo Yanching had called her, and when she didn’t answer, he sent her a text message asking her to call back when she was free.

She thought that by this time, he would have been asleep and planned to contact him the next day.

Little did she know that he would call again at this time, and Nan Jiaojiao inexplicably felt like she was just caught after doing something naughty.

“Why do I hear water, what are you doing?”

“Taking a bath.”

He chuckled, “Turn on the video, let me see you.”

Nan Jiaojiao opened her mouth, her lips shyly pursed, “You pervert.”

The laughter in Bo Yanching’s voice became even more cheerful, deep and coaxing, “Hurry up.”

Nan Jiaojiao hung up and dialed the video call; it had hardly started ringing before it was answered.

Bo Yanching’s chiseled face appeared on the screen, he glanced behind her, “You little rascal, soaking in the tub and fooling me?”

Nan Jiaojiao provocatively raised her eyebrows, “I said I was taking a bath; I never mentioned standing under a shower.

What’s wrong with adding some hot water if it has gotten cold?”

As she spoke, she turned off the tap and purposely shook the camera to show the brimming bathwater, its reflections flickering before returning to her face.

Bo Yanching’s brows softened, “You moved too quickly, I couldn’t see anything.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned her head away, letting out a sneaky laugh, then turned back, laying her head on her arm.

She leaned lazily against the edge of the bathtub and hummed, “Do you need something, or what?”

She almost made him laugh out loud with her question.

“I called you right after getting off the plane, but you only just now pay attention to me, and you’re complaining about me bothering you?”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at the decor behind him, “Doesn’t look like you’re at home.

Are you staying in a hotel?”

“Yeah, in a hotel.”

Bo Yanching lifted his phone, showing her around, “I haven’t gone back there yet, nor am I staying there.”

Nan Jiaojiao had never asked him what issue he had with the Bo Family in Capital City; it was ultimately family business, and there were always some topics that were difficult to broach.

However, she vaguely guessed their relationship wasn’t close.

“I’m going back tomorrow; if things go well, I’ll return by evening.”

Nan Jiaojiao suddenly thought of Yeh Hannian, who was still in the hospital, and zoned out momentarily, and just like that, Bo Yanching caught it.

He asked, “Don’t you want me to come back so soon?”

“No, it’s good if you can successfully get the formula.

I’ll wait for you,” she replied.

Only then did Bo Yanching smile genuinely, “Go to sleep early, no more working on research when you’re home.”

Nan Jiaojiao obediently nodded, “Got it.”

“What time are you going to school tomorrow?

I’ll have Han Chuan pick you up.”

“I’ll contact him after I wake up.”

Bo Yanching knew she loved to sleep in and with the company having a pile of work pressing down on Han Chuan, timing pickups and drop-offs for her would be best.

“That works,” he leaned back into the sofa, tilting his head back, lifting his phone higher, “Put the phone aside, I’ll keep you company until you finish bathing.”
