Chapter 901. The Person I Like Doesn''t Want Me Anymore


    Even if she didnt consider herself, she ought to spare a thought for her family.


    Why do you like me then? Nian Xi asked softly. Because I look pretty?


    He followed her around at the police station because of her looks? Jiang Yuning blinked several times, looking confused.


    Nian Xi continued saying, No matter how pretty I look now, itll fade with time.


    Jiang Yuning lowered his head and wrote, Youll look pretty even when youre old.


    I know that. Nian Xi nodded her head. Even when Im old, Ill be the prettiest olddy amongst all the other olddies. I cant get together with you, though. You are my idol. I respect you, but I dont harbor any romantic feelings for you. Besides, I havent really forgotten my ex-boyfriend.


    Jiang Yuning was stunned; he was staring at her nkly. He was in a daze, as if he refused to believe what she had just said.


    Nian Xi felt bad but she continued to say, Im sorry, but I think we can only be friends. Im sure youll be someone sessful in the future. Its not you, its me. I just cant give my heart to you.


    Jiang Yuning was shattered, as if someone had just dug out his heart. He felt even more ufortable thanst night when he heard about her ex-boyfriend; his heart ached. He tugged on his hair forcefully, pulling out a few tufts of hair. He was at a loss as to what to do.


    After a while, he stuttered, Ill wait for you then


    Nian Xi felt sorry when she saw how despondent he looked. You dont have to wait for me. I might reconcile with my ex-boyfriend; I might even marry him. After all, I haventpletely forgotten him.


    Jiang Yunings face was as pale as a sheet. He couldnt wrap his head around why this rtionship had ended before it even began. Jiang Yuning felt agony when he thought about the possibility of Nian Xi hugging and sleeping with another man.


    I want to see a picture of your ex-boyfriend, Jiang Yuning said. He had to know how this man looked, for her to be so smitten with him.


    Nian Xi felt terrible, but thest thing she wanted was to lead him on. She went onto Feng Ji Chuans social ount and opened up a picture of him. Jiang Yuning examined the man closely. He was wearing his army uniform and looked tall and hunky. His gaze was sharp, and he looked smart and clean. Jiang Yuning looked at his ownnky arms. He put down his arms dejectedly but refused to give up. Ill start working out from now on.


    Youre not him even if you bulk up, Nian Xi said harshly.


    The light in Jiang Yunings eyes went out. He walked back to the bed,y down silently, and curled up into a ball like a small baby.


    Nian Xi didnt know what else to say other than to sigh. Although it was noble to be a scientist, she just wanted to be an ordinary citizen for the sake of her family.


    Im sorry, Jiang Yuning. If I were to be with you, you might be a burden in my life.


    The next day, Nian Xi woke up first. She didnt sleep well that night; the flight was at noon, and she had to wake up early to get ready. Jiang Yuning was wrapped up in a cocoon on his bed; his back was facing her.


    Mr. Jiang, its time to get up and have breakfast.


    The bundle of nkets shook its head.


    Nian Xi repeated herself. Were going back to China in the afternoon.


    He turned to look at her. Let me lie by myself for a moment. The person I like doesnt want me anymore.


    His hurt eyes reminded Nian Xi of a sad and lost puppy. It tugged at her heartstrings.
