Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Mr. Bo Doesn’t Want to Be a Gentleman Anymore
As Zuzi walked into the bedroom, she clicked on the video call request sent by Bao Gucheng.
"Xiao Chenger, how did you get into the watch? Is this the Bone Shrinking Technique?"
Zuzi was quite interested in the life-like scaled-down image on the screen, finding it a bit cute.
The man’s lips twitched slightly: "Miss Zuzi hasn’t used this feature before?"
As the girl stepped up the stairs, her wrist wearing the watch gently swayed, the collar of her bathrobe also lightly moved, a glimpse of snowy skin unintentionally sent into the man’s eyes.
Bao Gucheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed, continuing nonchalantly: "You can try this feature more in the future."
Zuzi opened the bedroom door and habitually pressed the watch to her ear as she replied: "Yeah, it’s quite interesting. Are you working?"
Bao Gucheng had just paused a long meeting, seizing a three-minute break to call her, intending to urge her to rest early and not to stay up late studying and reading.
Upon hearing this, he waved his hand, shooed the waiting Chen Long out of the lounge, and indicated that he inform the meeting’s executives to extend the break.
A mere three minutes wouldn’t suffice for him and the little woman.
"Yes, I was in a meeting. But now it’s done. Does Miss Zuzi have any coursework she needs Mr. Bo to help with?"
"Hmm, I want to hear you read me poetry."
Bao Gucheng’s voice was exceptionally rich and powerful, and listening to the poems recited by him was a top-tier enjoyment for Zuzi.
"Sure. Which one would you like to hear?"
"Everything from that ’Selection’ book."
"Alright."
Bao Gucheng remembered the few baffling poems that confused the little woman, all from that ’Selection’ book, his old face blushed slightly.
"Oh, wait a moment." Zuzi suddenly remembered something, "I’ll change clothes and be back."
She had just bathed downstairs, still wearing her bathrobe, her slightly damp long hair hung down, drops of water falling into the collar of her gown.
She lightly wiped the water droplets by her cheek with her small hand, placed the phone watch on the table, and opened the wardrobe to get pajamas.
Gu Qiusha had bought her a cabinet full of pretty little dresses, yet she usually preferred the plain white robe brought from the countryside, even at school, she never switched to the school uniform.
Only occasionally would she wear pajamas, the high-quality silk was barely to her taste.
At this moment.
On Bao Gucheng’s side, he was watching her pick up a set of thin, translucent silk nightgown, about to change clothes.
The man’s breath quickened!
The gentlemanly demeanor told him he should close his eyes now.
But a wild voice in his heart screamed: Don’t be a gentleman!
As Bao Gucheng battled internally, Zuzi suddenly turned around: "Ah, Xiao Chenger, can you see the same me over there?"
Bao Gucheng’s voice was a bit hoarse: "Yes."
Zuzi’s red lips curled slightly, flinging a silk handkerchief over the phone watch: "Xiao Chenger, you’re being naughty."
Bao Gucheng: "..."
Through the phone came the rustling sound of silk clothes, which was more than just naughty—it was maddening.
After what felt like an eternity, the handkerchief was finally removed.
But Zuzi wasn’t dressed in her pajamas; she had changed into a clean, plain white robe, smiling sweetly: "Xiao Chenger, time to read."
Bao Gucheng took a deep breath: "..." There’s plenty of time in the future; he wasn’t in a hurry, truly.
In the Imperial Capital meeting room.
A group of executives exchanged puzzled looks, waiting for Bao Gucheng. Mr. Bo never took more than three minutes for a mid-meeting break and often worked continuously for a day and a night; why did he disappear halfway through today’s meeting?
Could it be that a major incident occurred, and everyone would have to stay up all night working overtime?
